Edit: I just found this, which I can easily imagine played by The Velvets back in the day. But in another clip I viewed, a band member played some open strings just before they launched into a song and I thought his guitar sounded way out of tune; even if their music is meant to be discordant, they still need to tune their guitars, right? I noticed this too while listening to the video you posted.
Do you think that they are emulating the VU, or is this something they feel is entirely their own? It's easy for me to say they should all be in black leathers and torn jeans and look like they came from the street, but (and feel free to disagree) we are not young now and this isn't "ours"... The Velvets, in their music and dangerous lifestyle, were responding to their time... the drugs and all that, whereas these guys (I feel) are just nice boys playing the music. But I guess it's because I am not young.
