I'm Waiting For My Man - VU Cover By Teth Sin by Teth Sin - Reposts, Collaborations & Covers
published on
A couple of months ago I had the chance to jam with a couple of friends on guitars at a dinner party. We played a few Stones covers, and the vibe was ok. Then suddenly someone named the Velvet Underground, so I started strumming and singing a classic number we used to perform pretty often when we were young, "I'm Waiting For My Man". I could really feel it, and when I got home I thought it was worth trying to record it. In the past we used to cover the Live 1969 version, but this time I tried to blend it with a couple of other renditions, namely the 1972 Transformer Tour performance and an acoustic demo recorded in 1965. Quite obviously, I ended up adding to this bizarre jumble my own touch. I completed most of the tracking in about a week, but it took me a long time before trying to record vocals. It somehow sounded dull and trivial to my ears, so I had lost interest in finishing the song. Then a couple of weeks ago I felt inspired and I did the vocals. I also added an organ and a Cretan lyra parts, to make the ending section sound a bit more exciting.
Hope you'll enjoy this studio jam, I think it sounds quite unusual if compared to the rest of my stuff, but at the end of the day it's not so bad to listen to.

I like it better than the original! I like this rude and languid cool feeling. Your cover songs are always dope and full of flavor! Sin!

good Lord could your vocals possibly be more evocative of Lou Reed? totally digging this sound -- that midrangy tremoloso boxy Exile on Main Street guitar and the rubber bass; this is awesome Mick!!!

Man, glad you came back to it. It's dripping with character. You hit the right note, if you'll excuse the pun.
Comment by Carlo Neve
Great version, music from my youth. The original is fantastic, so is your version. Lou Reed did lots of versions of the VU songs in a very different way. I think he could have appreciated your version.
