RIP

I guess one of the first signs that you're getting old is guys you went to see in concert are being burried when the get past 70.

Velvet Underground was one of my favorite bands when I was a teenager, he had a great voice and I loved when they were playing with Nico. Time doesn't stop, RIP.

I was very sad to hear about his death, I have enjoyed his music for many years, for those who have not heard of him I suggest they check out some of his solo stuff and especially the music he made with Velvet Underground.

Sad to hear of his passing, he was a real legend.
71 is pretty good considering the rock and roll lifestyle these stars take, especially in their young age.

This is so sad.
When an artist I like/enjoy passes away, I got that cold feeling that he'll never been around us anymore making music for us to enjoy and playing at concerts.
Rip Lou, you did great.

It took me aback because I saw a topic on Reddit that said "RIP Lou Reed", and I just said "What?". I wasn't a big fan of his, but I liked his music and I appreciated him for his legacy. I actually felt down for a few minutes. I can only imagine if someone like Iommi dies (one of my fav musicians)... I'd be a wreck.
