Reed, Tucker and Yule recently published the book The Velvet Underground: New York Art, a compilation of art, photographs and memorabilia from 1965 to 1970. The band was an influence on a generation of art rock and punk stars that followed. "To this day, I don't think there's been much going on that comes close to what the Velvet Underground did," he added. "The band had a $10 fine if you played a blues lick, because it wasn't legit," he said. Earlier in 2021, British film-maker Edgar Wright released The Sparks. Reed said Velvet Underground put its emphasis on authenticity. The Velvet Underground isnt the only recent film made by an influential director about a band, or bands, from that era. They didn't know us - they thought he was the lead guitarist or something." When they hired us to make a record, it wasn't because of us, it was because of him. "Warhol was one of the greatest people I've ever met in my life," Reed said in a public question-and-answer session. Reed admitted that the only reason the band got noticed at the start of their career was because of its association with the pop artist. The spirit and catalyst of New York rock quietly conquered the planet a posthumous revenge. Bootleg records, unpublished titles and a generalized mea culpa by the press gradually elevated the Velvet Underground and its creators to the skies. Haynes turned that handicap into an artistic asset by zooming out instead of in. Brought into the public eye once more by David Bowie, the group’s influence would not stop growing. The problem is that unlike, say, the Beatles, the band did not leave much footage behind. Warhol began managing the band in 1965 and they were the house band at his Factory studio, as well as turning up frequently in his films. The Velvet Underground, the wildly influential 1960s-'70s quartet led by Lou Reed, is a perfect illustration of that confluence. Warhol produced their debut album, The Velvet Underground and Nico, with German model Nico as a lead singer. The three members of the influential 1960s rock band talked about their association with pop artist Andy Warhol in a program called "The Art and Soul of the Velvet Underground." John Cale, who played bass and viola with the band, was not present at the Tuesday evening reunion. It was the starting place for many New York punk bands. Velvet Underground's Lou Reed, Maureen Tucker and Doug Yule staged a rare reunion at the New York Public Library. The band the Velvet Underground met pop artist Andy Warhol in 1965, and he had the band play for.
