Frank Zappa’s Mothers of Invention were, oddly enough, considered their major rivals.Ways & Means That didn’t happen once they were within Warhol’s orbit, but they never really took off, either. In an old interview, Reed recalls, pre-Velvet Underground, playing frat parties in college: “We were very bad, so we had to change our name a lot.” “She was a wanderer and eventually she just wandered off,” someone says. It didn’t matter much when she left, either. She couldn’t sing, but it didn’t really matter. There’s the “blonde iceberg” Nico, added when Warhol decided the band needed more sex appeal. We are treated to everything from concerts to insider footage of what it was like to hang out at the Factory. Geez, just thinking of how soon – and how completely – Warhol would displace those Kids in Campbell’s iconography takes your breath away.īut back to the Velvet Underground and Reed and surviving band members like John Cale and Maureen Tucker who, along with relatives, fans, and random celebs are among the faces that turn up in Haynes’ meticulous accumulation of archival evidence and recent interviews. Using the split-screen, multi-media approach that was briefly popular during the period (check out Haskell Wexler’s “Medium Cool” or the original version of “The Thomas Crown Affair”), Haynes immerses us in the fabric of the times.īut first, he shows us why the ‘60s were necessary (or maybe inevitable) by showing us the ‘50s with its lung-cancer-friendly commercials (“Winston tastes good like a cigarette should!”) and quaint cartoon hucksters like the Campbell Soup Kids. Instead of a straightforward biopic, Haynes has given us a kind of collage – of the Velvet Underground, of the ‘60s and of Andy Warhol’s Factory where Reed and the guys were more or less the house band.
