Rock n Roll Animal

Rock n Roll Animal is a 1974 live album by Lou Reed that presents amplified, hard rock reinterpretations of Velvet Underground songs and Reed solo material. The record is notable for its twin electric guitar work by Steve Hunter and Dick Wagner, high energy extended solos, and a louder, glam influenced hard rock approach that contrasts with the more stripped down arrangements of the originals. The performances emphasize guitars and dramatic arrangements, marking a distinctive moment in Reed's post Velvet Underground career.
