Great sarcastic quote from Mr Reed:
"One chord is fine," he once said, alluding to his bare-bones guitar style. "Two chords are pushing it. Three chords and you're into jazz."

I liked a lot of his early records, especially White Light. He had a wicked sense of humor.

I bet a lot of folks don't know that Don Cherry was a member of Reed's band for a short while in the late 70s. He played on the Bells album and did some shows too.

I think the problem with a lot of the fusion music is that it's extremely predictable, it's a rock rhythm and the solos all play the same stuff and they play it over and over again ...

I'll try to drop in a link after I get home today. But there's an interesting live piece with Lou, Laurie Anderson, and John Zorn you can watch on YouTube.

I'm guessing that is what he calls the Metal Machine Trio.
