Nico lyric question

Post by MJG196 »

Hey guys, I am listening to a Morrissey bootleg from 1997, and the intro track played before he hits the stage is a Nico song with the lyrics, "He is a danger..." Any ideas what song this is?

maybe 'Innocent And Vain' from the album 'The End'

"He is a dangerous creator, a master in his mortal cave..."

Yep, that was it! Moz knows irony when he hears it...perfect way to open up his show!

On an additional Nico note, on one of the Lou compilation DVD's available at Mindwarppavilion.org, Nico is singing "Chelsea Girls" while sitting on a bed with someone (Cale) on electric guitar next to her. Any ideas?

Im listening to "The End" right now, arguably the greatest solo record by any member of the Velvet Underground, and in many ways the closest to the experimental ideals of their early period. It still sounds quite magnificent 33 years later.

You're so right,sometimes listening EPI I'm felling like Nico&VU.....Andy's sountrack, and so good.

I remember John Cale in interview at the time he produced The End. He said that he wanted Nico to sing The Streets of Laredo on the LP. She refused - I think he said that she wasn't amused. A missed opportunity. Did she ever cover it later ? I know Cale sang it himself.

You've got to be kidding!! On almost every level it's dire. It's only redeeming feature is that there is somebody out there, ie you, who actually likes it.

Well,opinions are like arseholes everone has one :D
You might keep in mind that John Cale (you might remember him)said he thought the record was a masterpiece, so "dire" might be a bit extreme non?
