The Velvet Forum

Yeah I recall reading about how he plays "like a demented Jerry Lee Lewis"

Hey, I wouldn't call a three-page thread about whether Sterling or Lou played the left-channel guitar on "New Age" pointless!

(Just to make sure no-one goes searching for a thread of this magnitude -- I made up the example)

I compiled a bunch of "who plays what" threads for general discussion a while ago...

• The Velvet Underground and Nico
  White Light/White Heat
  The Velvet Underground
  Loaded
  VU
  Another View

Anyway, the short answer is "Must be Lou as he is credited with piano on the WL/WH sleeve and there is only one track featuring piano, which is the title track."
