Lyrics:
[Chorus]
I have made big decision
I'm gonna try to nullify my life
'Cause when the blood begins to flow
When it shoots up the dropper's neck
When I'm closin' in on death
You can't help me, not you guys
Or all you sweet girls with all your sweet talk
You can all go take a walk
And I guess I just don't know
And I guess that I just don't know

the bass player is amazing !!
Prakash John!
One of the greatest albums in the history of rock and roll, enough said.
sure ! but what U say 'bout smack when Lou did it ? U know when he was shootin' himself? "the greatest album in history of Rock n' Drug" , enough said Try it or shut up yA !
A gem.
Hunter and Wagner! Pure sonic gold
@Danny Rabin • What else can you say Steve Hunter & Dick Wagner quite possibly the best guitar duo ever, Alice Cooper thought so !
I knew a guy from Boston who was a great Lou Reed fan. He worked as counselor at a drug rehab program in Connecticut. When he was working Fridays and we had been behaving ourselves he would reward us by doing Waiting For My Man on acoustic guitar. It was my first exposure to Reed and the Velvet Underground. He stayed clean as long as he worked at 😅the center but eventually left. Several years later I was home on leave from the military when another counselor and close friend of his from Boston told me he had committed suicide. I’m still convinced that if he had stayed at the rehab center and continued to help fellow addicts that he could very well be alive today.
After 30 years sobriety I still get a contact high from this song.
Keep up the sobriety, Frank, and keep up enjoying music!!
yup
same here Frank
Silly
People
I've never understood why ex junkies who have been clean for a while get celebrated and their past misdemeanours completely written off, it's as if being a junkie come good is a badge of honour. I've been in relationships with people who have been completely ignored by their parents, much to their mental detriment, because the parents are too busy blowing smoke up the arse of the other sibling who has blown a huge amount of time and money injecting some nasty shit into their veins.
I agree best Lou album ,end off . loved it when using , love it 30 years on clean. I just wish the youth of today could exitance this type of music . Got Transformer for my daughters boyfriend birthday and he is blown away , he is 26 ........... there is hope !
Once they get to understand that Ed Sheran int the be all and end all we make progress.
Started at age 29 and gave up at 53 in 2018...it feels like a very long time...the tune is magnificent though it always makes me emotional...
Similar experience and timeframe. Glad it's over, still love the music!
Lou never disappoints.
Rock and Roll Animal was the first Lou Reed album that I ever heard
enough to make a grown man cry 🥲
The best guitar solos I've ever heard in my life. No meandering, just taking it to the next moment. Pure bliss.
Steve Hunter and Dick Wagner!
And Prakash John on bass!
I completely wore out a copy of this record in college!
White lightnig ?
Lou, Hunter & Wagner Pantii Glan, Ray Colcord, Prakish John, Excellent Live Performance!
Dick Wagner & Steve Hunter are god level guitarists. Pity their collection on TH-cam is so limited.
Amazing work by them in this album. ♥️
Ive absolutely loved this Album, and Steve Hunter,since I first heard this back in '75. Agreed , these two guitarist work so well together!! Amazing to this day. Steve where ever you are, we love you man.
Couldn't agree with you more what an AMAZING tandem. Sucks that there isn't more of their work out there.
They mesh as well together as any guitarists I can think of and the bass player holds his own as well as anyone else could.
They also played with Alice Cooper
There's a good bit of them on YT playing the Welcome To My Nightmare tour with Alice. To this day, Peter Gabriel swears that Steve Hunter was the only guy who could play Solsbury Hill the way he intended it. Great guitarists.
This is my favorite Lou Reed album. You have his poetic lyrics and minimalist chord progession married with 70s hard rock instrumentation. I see that as a win on all levels.
You add the tandem of Hunter and Wagner on guitar. Lubert had some incredibly talented musicians with him on this album it just kicks ass on so many levels!
@@owenjackman426 Yeah, the guitar intro of Sweet Jane is just so special
@@brandonh.441 Hell yes. I will continue to say this when you compare the songs on Rock and Roll Animal to Velvet Underground it's hard to believe it's the same person Rock and Roll Animal is SO MUCH BETTER!
So powerful how the music swells and moves throughout the song. It would've been out of this world to have seen this performed live.
jk fn he danced freestyle like I've never seen from a professional dancer,let alone a rock performer!💫
It was
And I did...phenomenal 🥰🥰
I saw this live in New York on1978.been big Lou fan.since.it was a perfect day
See what I did there
Just like dope. The high can come and go in waves!!
Surpasses the original track off the Velvet's 1967 debut, which wasn't too dusty, either. Lou Reed was one of the greatest rhythm guitarists rock and roll has blessed us with. His lyrical preoccupations took us into the dark corners of the psyche where few were brave enough to venture.
Incredible. Never get tired of the journey in every song.
Awesome and it get's better the more times you listen. Love Lou Reed, RIP mate and thank you for the music ♥ ♥ ♥
"now its hailed as the true masterpiece it is"
Yep this is a masterpiece. Fk Beethoven mozart etc Reed is an animal
I sit back and let Lou Reed take me back to the glory days of real rock and roll
One of the greatest songs of all time.
Ho trascorso 40 anni di vita sulla strada, l' eroina è stata la mia amante. State lontani da essa. Ciò che vi attende è l' inferno, la solitudine e l' agonia. Ciao Tiz. 😎🇨🇭
@@tizianosorgesa6444 Welcome BACK.
@@tizianosorgesa6444Actually, is that a little SWISS flag? My mother's family is Swiss.
Love to all my junkies past and present. God loves us the most.
listening to this tonight 4 months clean (thank god) but it gives me the same rush... respect
@@devils666chile use or don't use. If you want, you are never addicted.
Funny, I remember when this album came out all the Velvet fans called him a total sell out for remaking all their classics with an electric guitar, now its hailed as the true masterpiece it is.
I think it's a fantastic album however RCA pushed very hard for it to be released after the commercial failure that was Berlin. So somewhere those old fans were right: it was a sell-out.
I remember that...mind blowing how people sometimes thought back then... its the best live album ever in my opinion and this band (Hunter etc) are incredible
That's Crazy, When I first bought the New Sensations Album I was called a sell out for liking the music. WOW Rock 'n' Animal is a Motherfucking Masterpiece!!!!
How about calling it a re-interpretation? Love the version of 'Heroin' on the first album of the Velvet Underground but this one is excellent in its own way.
if u have ever felt even slightly what he describes , then u can realate to his GR8 performance.
RIP Lou Reed...yes one of the hottest album's ever . 🎶🎵🎶🎵🎶🎵🎶🎵🎶🎵🎶🎵🖤
THE BEST GUITAR WORK HERE....WOW...ON FIRE....
Ray Colcord (R.I.P) keyboards …. Wow, when he brings in that ‘swell’ - with the Hammond through a Leslie ‘rotating speaker horn’ cabinet !! Shivers !! …. Nice ‘volume swells’ from Steve Hunter or Dick Wagner’s guitar - probably using the guitar’s volume control knob (pot) to create those ‘cat like’ cries … or a ‘volume pedal ?’ …. I can’t get over the fact this was recorded in December 1973 ! Nothing else like it ‘live’ ….
4:49
Brilliant guitar work of Steve Hunter and Dick Wagner on this song and album
One of the best guitar tandem's ever. They make Velvet Underground sound like a garage band!
I am not an addict but I have suffered from Bipolar depression for the last couple of years so I definitely relate to that feeling of, "just let it all fucking end and stop trying to help me."
Einfach mal den Lithium Spiegel und die Neurotransmitter testen. 😇
Lou was a class apart. PERIOD ! In my eyes, he was writing history for the music world !
Builds to a thunderous climax at the end.
I knew Lou Reed since" 66."Andy Warhol used to be Warhola in Pgh.and his brother. Shot dope with Lou when I lived in Brooklyn. and where I was born in France 🇫🇷to Lou
RIP Pente "Whitey" Glan. November 2017. He had such a great groove going with Prakash John. What an amazing rhythm section.
Grande, favoloso, immenso bassista!
I love every version of this song that exists. Its the reason i became a junky, its also the reason i finally decided to stop
wow man real cool
i hope you doing fine!!
So much love for youm xxx
Me too, Johnny. Me too.
I’ve lost a friend. Taking. That shit.
When a song is this great every version of it is sublime
che tempi....non torneranno MAI più!
I’m so used to Sweet Jane going into Heroin with the guitar dropping tuning down in between. This is nice to hear it differently, but those two will always play together in my head forever in musical perfection bliss.❤ Ahhhhhh ❤
This song gives me such peace, I just don't know.
I love this song. So happy I'm not there anymore. Thank you Lou Reed
laura an unreal LP played it non-stop when it campout and still love it. Be Blessed
I thank the universe every day for the strength it took for me to kick. It was hell on earth but worth it.
"The opium poppy is God's way of keeping humanity's hubris in line." -Me, just now
RIP LOU. We miss you
Great comments and equally great album
breaks my heart every time damn
J know what you mean.... I never can forget...
Why. People. Go. Their. And take that. Shit. Sad. Yeah
LOSING, OUR, BOWIE AND LOU WEED~ ? I'M STILL IN A CATATONIC, ZONE OF DISBELEIF~ "I PLAYED LOUS "KILL YOU SON" ~ AWESOME, DEPRESSIVE EFFECT~>>>>>>"ARN'T YA GLAD, YA MARRIED ?
Indeed. Brings back risky and scary memories, and still makes the hair on my neck stand up
Dabbled but never succumbed. Miss it to this day but too dangerous on so many levels.
It's the only drug I didn't dabble with at some point. Because from what I've heard about it, I know I'd love it and never want to let it go, and that's what scares me.
Iconic
One of the reasons I never tried heroin was this song. I knew if I tried it I would be lost and I was either too smart or too dumb to go there!
This song is a cautionary tale for sure.
You were too smart.
I was not so smart ... but i'm 71 and i keep on ...
Such great music. Brings me way back. Steve and Lou are awesome!!
The sublimity of this song and this version, its perfected picturing of despair, euphoria,longing, anomie, mania, the alienation of true individuality even apart from any drug at all, yet also the changed vision, changed sensibility and stark romanticism which exclusively Heroin brings, all converge to make this piece of music stand with the greatest of any category, from Beethoven and Wagner to Miles Davis and John Coltrane. It is one of the most powerful musical statements ever made. It will defy official fashions, morals, and aesthetics for centuries, and strike like lightning into the heads of all new generations who hear it, just as it did mine at age 12 , one truant afternoon in a sadistic and shallow, beautiful little beach town in Orange County, CA, thereby changing my life forever.
Amen
wow..just wow..loved this version soo much!
It has the most gravitas and power.
The best version.Period
This is a very powerful song.Been there done that!!
Waaaaooouuuuhhhh 😊😊😊😊😊😊 Amazinnnnggg . Génial !!!
I grew up on this album in my teens, thanks to that one cool friend who had all the good music (there's always one). I had this album way before I ever heard any of the originals by the VU. I loved the whole thing, this song probably most of all. Even though most of the songs are like night and day compared to the originals. Not better and not worse. Just different.
Lou's live version of this song with such dynamic electric guitar blew away the original version by Lou's Velvet Underground. I never was a fan till I bought 'Rock n Roll Animal' on a whim. A masterpiece of music history!
This one sure stands the test of time, not heard it for years and it truly is a magnificent arrangement, and the musos are top flight. I...have made very big decision, it can seem that way at the time, but melancholia is a part of every thinking man's life, we have to live and carry on.
Stuff of legends man. This whole album rocks!
I wish that,
I'd sailed the darken seas, on a great big clipper ship, going from this mans land to that ...
SOME OF US FEEL THIS SONG .
16 YEARS NOW CLEAN AND SOBER.
🖕 drugs. HUGS NOT DRUGS...
Seems as good as it was.. just gets better somehow 🎉 🎸
I used to think that the song was an anthem...
Now I see it as a epitaph or eulogy.
Vale Lou.
" When the smack begins to flow, then I really don't care anymore, about all you Jim-Jims in this town, and everybody puttin everyone else down, and all the politicians making crazy sounds, and all the dead bodies piled up in mounds". About says it all. Truly 1 of the most bad-ass tunes in R & R history.
Masterpiece...Music & lyrics...Best version ever
Highly addictive ... no risk overdose ... still alive after all these years .
This album is legendary and unique in its sound. The thing that made Lou so great is that he hired prog guys to fill out his band. Steve Howe on the first album, Steve Hunter and Dick Wagner on this one, Danny Weis with that solo on Kill Your Sons. It sounds like the stuff you'd hear on a Judas Priest or a Camel record.
First time I heard this, I was 14. And now I'm 47. And... It's the best song ever
Es uno de los mejores álbumes de rock y este tema es exactamente como un colocón de heroina❤
Lo vi en directo en Oviedo
Lou Reed never been forget about the music
Shows are people really listening , this is one of if not best versions , it is very dramatic, like that , I never heard original , this one builds excitement, hand on people , Janis said ‘ Listen to the Words ,man was she ever on , a real gem indeed, so glad I found it ,
Just the name but I struck Gold , finding this , New York Radio , etc. Super thank you Lou Reed forever thankful ,
Lou you ROCK
Rock on. There will never be another like you.
I may be late, but I'm in love!
+Liz W. You have an amazing journey in front of you, and please listen to it all! From the Velvet Underground too his work on his own as a solo artist.
Liz W. it's never late for love you know✌✌✌
better late then never :-)
Are you pregnant?
The greatest album!!!
Looking back on it, and I have the vinyl, I think it’s over the top with the guitars.
I wore out 3 vinyls
God bless you Lou
How good is that.
Speechless....
I have made a very big decision in my life tonight.....so I had to crank this up and hear the true master sing those words. I am cutting off part of my family from my life....no more will I be subject to their hatred and emotional abuse. I am going to sail that big clipper ship and put on my sailor cap and leave them ashore forever.
Right on brother
I'm not using now. I'm 30 yrs old. My dad taught me about my own music. I need no needles, I need no religion. I'm responsible for myself. He loved Lou Reed and his music. I carry it on..
I still have this album 😄
A worthy ballad to shiva
Best ever, grew up with this!
TEMAZO
Saw him Woodrose Ballroom, probably 70ish Andy was doing light show, good acid , unreal concert, rock on
i LOVE HEROIN.
My favory sound of this peal musical ❤😊
Happy birthday Lou! ✌🏻
You'll NEVER see Swift or Bieber or West do anything remotely close to this.
Bruh Kanye has definitely reached these levels
Lou Reed introduced me to heroin when I first began listening to music, and it's just as powerful every time I listen to it 45 someodd years later
From what I understand the other kind of heroin losses effect over the years
It was our anthem.😊😊
great music Lou
The song more real of all the history. RIP Lou Reed, Dick Wagner & Pennti Glan.
Grazie mile per tutto..desde Romás
She's my life....
Boy and girl they really go good together first time I heard this was way before I did it my girlfriend turned me on to the album I think I still have it cuz when we broke up I ended up with a lot of really cool albums that I never heard of that she had she never did it but I sure did and just like Lou said I felt like Jesus son
Like I said they go good together boy is the girl is she New York City New York lower East side Bronx

I'm sending this to friend who's in it's grips as the song is as real as it gets, yet it's still able the share a light
BEST FUCKING SONG IN HISTORY. FACT!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Rahu 12 Aslesha P1, Ketu 6 Shravana P3 bohemian rhapsody, shine on you crazy diamond, comfortably numb, starway to heaven
@@gustavopaiva8227 Or you could have just said the original version of Heroin by the VU. Which is at least as good as (maybe better than) the live version, in a different way.
"Away from the big city, where a man cannot be free,
of all the evils in this town, and of himself and those around,
oh, and I guess I just don't know, and I guess I just don't know."
THANKS FOR POSTING!!!
WOW 😲😳😎
It's hard to imagine any other artist writing or recording this song, let alone numerous times. This version is my favourite although according to biographer Anthony DeCurtis it wasn't Lou's favourite version, I used heroin for a while and it does get to me in a way that's both nostalgic and disturbing... this does romanticise it a bit but then, you do...
Great Song 👍👍👍
heroiiinnn je innnn
Best intro ever!!! 🤘
Look up honesty in the dictionary and this song will be there.
Genial
Big decision
Heroin.
I don't know just where I'm going
But I'm goin' to try for the kingdom if I can
'cause it makes me feel like I'm a man
When I put a spike into my vein
Then I tell you things aren't quite the same
When I'm rushing on my run
And I feel just like jesus' son
And I guess I just don't know
And I guess that I just don't know
I have made very big decision
I'm goin' to try to nullify my life
'cause when the blood begins to flow
When it shoots up the dropper's neck
When I'm closing in on death
You can't help me not you guys
All you sweet girls with all your sweet talk
You can all go take a walk
And I guess I just don't know
And I guess I just don't know
I wish that I was born a thousand years ago
I wish that I'd sailed the darkened seas
On a great big clipper ship
Going from this land here to that
I put on a sailor's suit and cap
Away from the big city
Where a man cannot be free
Of all the evils in this town
And of himself and those around
Oh, and I guess I just don't know
Oh, and I guess I just don't know
Heroin, be the death of me
Heroin, it's my wife and it's my life
Because a mainer to my vein
Leads to a center in my head
And then I'm better off than dead
When the smack begins to flow
Then I really don't care anymore
About all the jim-jims in this town
And everybody putting everybody else down
And all of the politicians makin' crazy sounds
All the dead bodies piled up in mounds, yeah
Wow, that heroin is in my blood
And the blood is in my head
Yeah, the god's good as dead
Ooohhh, God that I'm not aware
I just don't care
And I guess I just don't know
And I guess I just don't know

In that last verse, I hear:
Yeah, thank god I'm good as dead,
Thank god I'm not aware
