Sweet Jane

here Sweet Jack Come on, baby Sweet Jack Sweet Jack

That is Sweet Jane by the Velvet Underground, if you didn't know that already.

That was for Sonny.

It's one of his favorites.

I'm going, I can't fucking live it.

Some kid walks up to me and goes, hey, you guys going back on stage to finish Sweet Jane? I'm like, no.

I went, what? He said, I paid $5.

I said, I paid $5.

But if you see the documentary, we were Twisted Fucking Sister.

Some of the stunts are in Twisted.

The Death of Disco thing, which the Sweet Jane Gong show, which most people don't even know.

We used to get away with playing one song a set.

variation of it well yeah they have the synth uh patch going and you know and how they have the it's just that major sort of triumphant feeling yeah the triumph yes that is it

yeah it's happy it's a no-brainer so my second example sweet jane by velvet underground from the album loaded 1970

Yeah, I guess that is.

I don't think I've ever heard

It's very clear.

It's very clear.

There's a little mucking about with Sweet Jane.

Yeah, he's

He's no longer with us, but his spirit remains in the DNA provided for by a small dog.

Chase Simone, genuine Las Vegas showgirl, will also be there at the show with me, Buckner and Jane.

Where was your card? What was it? What number was it at? Two of

No, that's not what you should

play.

What is Sweet Jane by Lou Reed? Okay.

Velvet Underground, Sweet Jane.

But I can't really imagine Lou Reed's voice singing the chorus of this song because it's so belted.

I mean, I'm sure, I guess he could do it, but like when you hear those weird live versions of him singing Sweet Jane or something, it certainly doesn't sound like a voice that you could imagine going, why

don't you

smile? It sounds like Tom Jones or something, this vocal.

He's the guy playing the solo on Only Women Bleed.

Him and Dick Hunter are behind Lou Reed's Sweet Jane on the best live album ever recorded, Rock, Roll, Animal.

He's the guy that got called to play the solos on Train Kept Rollin' and Same Old Song and Dance by Aerosmith.

So it's a, it's a guitar nerd worship person.

I'm starting to get a little read a little bit more.

Yeah.

You know, so it is, um, there's a, the first two songs are sweet Jane and heroin.

And that's like probably 20 minutes.

And it was the first full show they played there.

And they played, oh, Sweet Jane.

And that was the Halloween foreshadowing.

They'd never played Sweet Jane before.

And that was the Halloween foreshadowing.

So in 10, when they were in Camden, they played the Rover.

Th- they, they recorded Loaded, which was intended to be, you know, their bubblegum concession album.

Which also it has Sweet Jane on it, another gender-bending song on it.

I mean, that song eventually became a staple of rock radio a few years later.

Mm.

mean...

The chord progression is very similar to Sweet Jane.

Yeah, it's a very VU-ish song.

But also, you know, like, you know, Lou Reed was in a definite phase in the early 70s.
