>"Lou told Quine that the reason why he had to get rid of Cale in the band was Cale's ideas were just too out there. Cale had some wacky ideas. He wanted to record the next album with the amplifiers underwater, and [Lou] just couldn't have it. He was trying to make the band more accessible."
Is it even possible to record an amplifier underwater?
>get a waterproof amplifier
>get a waterproof microphone
simple as
record in a submarine
Sure retard
That’s a nice idea.
Captain Beefheart bought a whole bunch of sleigh bells for Trout Mask Replica like 100 of them and didn’t use any of them. He also tried to hire a tree doctor because he said the trees had been damaged by the music but he might have been stopped
Pretty sure you hear sleigh bells at the end of hair pie bake 2
Miles used sleigh bells too
>Is it even possible to record an amplifier underwater?
I guess we'll never know because Lou was being too much of a hack to let a genius do some real work
it's retarded cause no sound in water but maybe put them in plastic or something and isolate well, then submerge in a tank? Has anyone tried that before?
future days sounds like it is underwater
sounds like it, but we still don't know what true underwater music is like, it might produce something else entirely. there's untapped potential
Sun Ra's Atlantis is the obvious answer

retard
>no sound in water
tell that to whales buddy
If Cale was so out there, why is his solo discography mostly Pop music?
Cale's pop rock albums are leagues better than Reed's in any case
I disagree but that’s not what I asked
most of Cale's experimental reputation is from pre-VU stuff i'm pretty sure, Theatre of Eternal Music and such
He accidentally became a songwriter
excellent answer
umm it's ART rock not pop rock
I mean there's no reason the amplifier had to be underwater just the speakers no? Maybe Cage is too big brained for me
Based Lou repelling pretentious nonsense
You can keep S/T and Loaded, thanks
there's a difference between being experimental and innovative and doing gimmicky bullshit like lol what if we put amplifiers underwater
The best Cale solo albums are literal pop rock. Lou was more experimental as a solo artist than Cale was.
...before going on to do Metal Machine Music and Lulu
>[Lou] just couldn't have it. He was trying to make the band more accessible
guess that answers the question of who the genius in tvu was
White Light White Heat (1967) contains Sister Ray, which probably remains the ultimate, definitive masterpiece of rock music, an epic piece that rivals Beethoven's symphonies and John Coltrane's metaphysical improvisations.
u put the amps in a watertight bag/container, put the mic in a watertight bag/container. Actually I read they used a similar effect to record some vocal parts on the third eye blind s/t
