it's funny how kids of now a days listen to dead music by dead music i mean music that doesn't even deserve to be heard like stupid car beeps (techno) i always loved and always will love rock n' roll and soon enough i'm gonna get my whole family into rock n 'roll and spread the word(music)
Yes! Another Elvis video with more scumbags commenting on Little Richard, Chuck Berry, and whoever. See here's what I think, these so called Little Richard fans who like his Rip It Up aren't exactly completely satisfied with it. That's why they're here listening to Elvis sing it, seeing if his is better. If you worship Elvis the way I do, you know his version is the best and there is no need to listen to another. Buddy Holly and John Lennon did this song, hey scumbags, go criticize theirs too!
Beautiful, Beautiful, Beautiful, the man himself, there will never be another, even his hairstyle has just been voted the most iconic of all time, been to Graceland, been on the Lisa Marie, been to Sun studios, been down Beale St., met Bernard Lansky and have the photos to prove it, oh boy am I a lucky guy.
@Dralloneoriginal Stop! You're so aggressive young boy. I think too that LR is better than Elvis, but It;s the opinion not contest or war. Get back to school and read some book
well go to ur fagy little chuck berry/little richard videos and talk about them being the king of rock n roll there, because your talk here is just jibberish and unwanted.. elvis was OF COURSE the king of rock n roll.. anyone who says otherwise is just stupid or ignorant. bye
Little Richard´s honking melody is superb!. Little Richard knows how to tweedle, he knows how to do an incredible "falsetto" and he also knows how to rock every song he sings. That´s why he is the king of rock and roll.
chuck berry is a legend,he took it to the next level but he certainly is not the undesputed king of r&r,even though i prefer the later eddie cochran,elvis has to be the king as he was the main reason it exploded,there are so many pioneers who collectively developed the music to credit chuck berry to be the single handedly made it an art form is ridiculous
Chuck Berry is the King of Rock n Roll: his RnR was the most fully formed version of RnR lyrically and instrumentally of ALL the early rockers. EVERYONE did Chuck Berry songs because Chuck Berry's RnR WAS RocknRoll. He single-handedly raised its songwriting up from nonsense lyrics and novelty songs to full story narratives i.e. made it an ART FORM-established its themes-wrote its anthems-DEFINED Rock guitar playing. He is RnR's 1st GENIUS. Many had pieces, Chuck put 'em together & made RocknRoll
Whether Elvis toured the world or not is not relevant. The world wanted him regardless. The Aloha special attracted a global audience of 1.5 billion. Bill Haley, Little Richard, et all could only dream of having such a large audience that wanted them. Not that I think that is the most important thing, but when someone tries to call Elvis' world popularity into question with silly talk, then it's important to look at the facts.
@willpn100 No, Elvis became rich, just like chuck berry became rich. He was from a very poor background and his family even lived in housing for low income families. Oh dear, try harder please... again, do some research then you may know something about what you are talking about!
@FabFM If Elvis is the most famous artist in the world of course he is the most billionaire man in the showbusiness. In terms of money, Chuck Berry is nothing compared to Elvis billionaire fortune. So that Elvis is part of "establishment". Rock and roll was born as underground culture and Elvis has distorted all rock and roll history.
@FabFM First of all it was Elvis who died first. In 1957 Bill Haley was the firsr rock star to tour all over the world. In 1957 he arrived in UK by boat and took train to London. The front-page headline of the newspapers showted "FANTABULOUS". And his last tour took place in South Africa, june/1980. Elvis never was a participant of a "Rock and Roll Revival" concert. What´s Elvis legacy? Elvis has never shared with other rockers any experimentation on a stage.
@willpn100 Yeah Elvis did die first, but for all those years in between he was having something called hits... Bill Haley wasn't, so don't try and make out that's why Presley is more remembered now, it's not. Stop with the nonsence and make up rubbish that is so easily disproved. Elvis legacy is one of music lovers all over the world enjoying his music and as for him never sharing experiences with other rockers... what are you smoking??? The million dollar quartet anyone?
@FabFM First of all, I don´t smoke like you do! Is this Elvis unique glory? Bill and Queen Elizabeth are two royalties. He toured all over the world, his hits were the first ones to make billboard charts in terms of rock and roll. By boat, by plane or by train he achieved the world taking rock and roll to everybody and not by a sattelite tv. Those are Bill´s legacy, put rock and roll on the world map.
@willpn100 So what if he used a different tool? Big deal. The fact is the public chose Elvis and that is what made him the most successful and influential artists. Just because you don't like it, too bad. Elvis legacy was because the public wanted him, and I mentioned the TV special to show this fact. That it's!
If Elvis sang for large audiences, that´s why he became part of political economy. He became part of the capitalism and rock and roll is a kind of culture that is against this capitalism system
@willpn100 No, Elvis sang for those who wanted his music. Those that wanted it were many. All rock n roll stars sing for as big an audience as possible, otherwise they would stay in the small clubs and never make records. Stop thinking you are a spokesperson for rnr and what it stands for, you're not!
@willpn100 No, I don't think I'm his spokesperson and never claimed to be, but at least my argument is based on fact not made up rubbish. You make out because Haley was "so poular with tours all over the world" he was better than Elvis, but then when I say "hang on, Elvis audience far exceeded his" (which it does) suddenly it becomes a bad thing to be popular... because your argument was disproved. You chop and change when its proven your wrong. Or as we say in England, You talk bollocks!
@FabFM My arguments are also based in fatcts. It´s a fact Haley is the most popular rocker of the fifites to tour all over the world. I do not chop and don´t change because every subject is about rock and roll. If you´re calling me bad names "bollocks", this discussion ends here. You´ve lost! Ok.
@mare544 That was not your claim, you claimed Haley was more popular outside America than Presley, you didn't say to "tour outside" America (and seeing as Elvis never left the continent, then his popularity world-wide must be looked at to see who was "most popular") And no, I haven't "lost", you don't say when the conversation ends on my part. Besides "bollocks" isn't considered a majorly offensive word anyway! Ok!
@FabFM Elvis was a lab creation. He could not leave the USA, anyway. His show took place in the USA. Bill and the others rockers flew all over the word, and mobs cheered them to the heavens. You must do the same, look at the facts, but before that, will you please look up other rockers careers.
@willpn100 Rubbish. Unless other countries concert halls were somehow different to what was in America, which they were not. Stop this stupid claptrap. Fans celebrated Elvis word-wide, much longer than they ever did with other rockers. I have looked up other rockers careers and all pale compared to Elvis THE KING!
@FabFM When Bill Haley was introduced to UK Queen Elizabeth she said that Bill Haley is part of her youth. It´s a recognition of his job that no other rocker of the fifties had. This fact is much more important than a show aired by sattelite tv. Elvis never was introduced to a royalty. In the UK, Germany, Mexico..... Bill Haley is more important than Elvis was. Elvis was a spoilt child.
@willpn100 Oh yeah of course... a queen liking bill haley is much more important than 1.5 billion people liking elvis... hahaha... get real.... And no, don't lie... I live in the UK and I know for a fact Elvis is much more important here than Bill Haley. Elvis is still current here now, with high charting singles and albums even now, many of which still reach #1. Same in Germany, all over Europe and world-wide. You're fooling no one!
After the 1950s Elvis still had a long run of hit singles and albums, more so than most artists had at that time, never mind all the old rockers like Haley who could no longer drum up enough fan support to have any hits. Of course some people will try and make out the odd appearance in front of royalty means they were doing better than acts who had real success and had the support of millions of fans, but in the real world most people know that is complete claptrap!
@creaturebotman No id din't.. this is you tube.. the net... a way to pass time when bored... not prime ministers questions. Sorry if you think it actually has more meaning. It dosen't!
@creaturebotman I didn't. That's why I didn't give in a second to look it up. I knew you were talking crap, and said so at the time because you kept going on about it...
@FabFM, okay,lets compromise.I'll be the one to say the title "The King of Rock n Roll" belongs to Elvis. That's the stage performance name he was going on at the height of his career and well deserved. He had some low moments too (Fact) but he was still called the "King" He was certainly One of the greatest influences in the history of R n R but not A "KING" of Rock in Roll. There were KINGS, Queens, Prince and Princes if you wanna get into it like that. Factually, it doesnt matter. Its Silly
@creaturebotman Yes, Elvis was the king, like it or not. He was the biggest, most influential and had a bigger influence on culture than any of the other rock n rollers. Little Richards best days were behind him by the end of the 50s. Not the case with Elvis. He retained his popularity and went on to produce music that got fan support for the next two decades and beyond. I never said this was proof he was the best, and even started that several times,but those are the facts.
@johnnyjaramone Oh no, it´s Little Richard´s smash hit. At that time, Elvis refused to record it. So, Little Richard put is on the map. Elvis is "The White Little Richard"
Elvis is Great .but Buddy Holly had an influence on so many English bands and is at least in my eyes the true king of rock n roll! It's simple. Buddy holly was a songwriter, Elvis wasn't.
@LostMixedTape So what? Many artists write their own songs. By this logic Elvis is below boy bands that have written a song. Elvis was a very talented singer, song spotter and had the whole package as an entertainer. He is the king.
Elvis presley is a red neck he stole half of his song from black people such as little walter nd little richard nd many more the true king of rockin roll LITTLE RICHARD!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
@samia554 I'm just saying, but no one gives a shit about you god damn fucking "niggers" who seem to think the whole world is against you. Grow the fuck up and stop being racist, because no one wants to hear it!
very post-modern video, reminds me of the conditioning video Nick watches in 'The Game'. as a side not elvis raped black music for a largely racist middle america.
Perfect! The energy on this number is pure rock n roll which I think only lasted for a couple of years in the fifties before it got too contrived. You get the same feeling listening to, for example, Buddy's Midnight Shift. I guess it must be to do with being a very young man and still being, to a large extent, innocent. DJ and Scotty really do rip it up together, don't they?
@bumblebeemoi I disagree I think Elvis had the best version of this song. You may be right about it being tame but i dont find it weak. Its all a matter of how loud you listen to it. In my opinion
NO one on this earth comes even close to him remembered what the yorkshire man jimmy saville said wheh he died God wanted to listen so some real R n R n He just couldn't wait any longer n took him to heaven just about summs it up what Elvis represented THE BEST!!
@creaturebotman Actually it does make a difference... it proves your claim was inaccurate if nothing else.
Yeah, Elvis is dead but one thing is clear - his music is still very much alive, much more than Little Richards. One day he will be dead too, yet Elvis's legacy will still be much bigger. How many millions will visit his birthplace, his home town, etc. Nowhere close to Elvis. Heck, even Elvis impersonators draw a bigger audience!
Micheal Jackson sells more records than elvis has after death. does that make MJ legacy bigger? Little Richard blew the lid off the Fifties, laying the foundation for rock and roll with his explosive music and charismatic persona. On record, he made spine-tingling rock and roll. His frantically charged piano playing and raspy, shouted vocals on such classics as "Tutti Frutti", "Long Tall Sally" and "Good Golly, Miss Molly" defined the dynamic sound of rock and roll. That the facts.
@creaturebotman No he hasn't. The amount of records sold after death still belongs to Elvis. Within the 24 hours after his death 20 million records were sold. Number 1 hits are still had by Elvis all these years on, whether or not MJ does that remains to be seen. And it was Elvis who blew the lid off the '50s (the FACT is 50 million never tuned in to see Little Richard perform on TV). Little Richard didn't define Rock N Roll, no one single handedly did that, not even Elvis.
@creaturebotman I'm not an Elvis fanatic, indeed there are several other artists whose music I enjoy just as much, all of whom played a vital role in the shape of music history, but I would be deluding myself if I said they all had the same cultural impact Presley had.
@FabFM Elvis is a matter of merchandising. He wasn´t a good music writter; he did not play any music instrument well; was the king of "covers"; and used to tint his har yet. Black people put Elvis on the music map. He recorded four Little Richard´s smash hits. Two Chuck Berry´s hits. Two Big Joe´s Turner´s hits. Two Arthur Crudup´s hits and Good songs writters did not give to Elvis songs for him to be recorded. So, more and more Elvis did many "covers" often and often.
@willpn100 Rubbish. Merhcandisng is The Spice Girls, The Backstreet Boys and NYSNC, not a man who changed the musical map and is still as popular all these decades later. Oh and guess what, all the acts I just mentioned "wrote songs", I guess you'd call them all musical geniuses by your logic. A song is only as good as someone likes it. Most people don't read liner notes to check who wrote what before they decide if they like a song. And Elvis' legacy speaks more than your tunnel view of him!
@willpn100 No, people don't check the songs BEFORE because people like to listen to music. Fans later check pout who wrote songs they like. However, the songs are Elvis'. All the top writers rated him, which is why I said his legacy speaks more than your tunnel view. The Beatles, Dylan, Buddy Holly, Little Richard, Chuck Berry et all all loved Elvis. If anyone speaks for songwriters it's them, not you!
@FabFM The songs are not Elvis. Elvis loved Little Richard at the point to record four smash hits of LRichard. He loved Chuck Berry and recorded two songs of CBerry and so on with others artists. He´s the king of "covers". I would like to see Elvis being a success with his own song writing or own hits.
Long Tall Sally/Tutti Frutti/Ready Teddy/Rip It Up: are originally LRichard´s hits;
Johnny B. Goode/Memphis: are originally CBerry´s hits;
Shake, RAttle and Roll/Flip Flop and Fly:.........
@willpn100 Yes, the songs are Elvis, he's the one who had the hits. His versions were the success. End of. Again the people you rant on about adored him. Chuck Berry even said "Elvis - the greatest there ever is, or ever will be". His own words speak more than your tunnel view. So stop with the same tired points. No one says the mamas and papas were crap because the singers didn't write the songs. Many great singers didn't write. So what? Doesn't bother me, too bad if it does you!
@willpn100 No, they are not called the "kings" because they didn't reach the level of success, or have the huge influence Presley had, and that is why Presley is called king! And no, I won't stop answering, you want to stop then you do it, I have just as much as right to reply as you. If you want to live in a world where you have the right to the final say you better build a space rocket and get out of this one! Elvis is not at the bottom of a list, he is at the top!
it's funny how kids of now a days listen to dead music by dead music i mean music that doesn't even deserve to be heard like stupid car beeps (techno) i always loved and always will love rock n' roll and soon enough i'm gonna get my whole family into rock n 'roll and spread the word(music)

@FabFM, okay,lets compromise.I'll be the one to say the title "The King of Rock n Roll" belongs to Elvis. That's the stage performance name he was going on at the height of his career and well deserved. He had some low moments too (Fact) but he was still called the "King" He was certainly One of the greatest influences in the history of R n R but not A "KING" of Rock in Roll. There were KINGS, Queens, Prince and Princes if you wanna get into it like that. Factually, it doesnt matter. Its Silly
creaturebotman 1 year ago
@creaturebotman Yes, Elvis was the king, like it or not. He was the biggest, most influential and had a bigger influence on culture than any of the other rock n rollers. Little Richards best days were behind him by the end of the 50s. Not the case with Elvis. He retained his popularity and went on to produce music that got fan support for the next two decades and beyond. I never said this was proof he was the best, and even started that several times,but those are the facts.

@FabFM Elvis should thanks all his fame to RCA. Both are part of capitalism economy. He recorded music just for selling.

Elvis is Great .but Buddy Holly had an influence on so many English bands and is at least in my eyes the true king of rock n roll! It's simple. Buddy holly was a songwriter, Elvis wasn't.

@LostMixedTape So what? Many artists write their own songs. By this logic Elvis is below boy bands that have written a song. Elvis was a very talented singer, song spotter and had the whole package as an entertainer. He is the king.

Perfect! The energy on this number is pure rock n roll which I think only lasted for a couple of years in the fifties before it got too contrived. You get the same feeling listening to, for example, Buddy's Midnight Shift. I guess it must be to do with being a very young man and still being, to a large extent, innocent. DJ and Scotty really do rip it up together, don't they?

OKAY?

creaturebotman 1 year ago
@creaturebotman Actually it does make a difference... it proves your claim was inaccurate if nothing else.
Yeah, Elvis is dead but one thing is clear - his music is still very much alive, much more than Little Richards. One day he will be dead too, yet Elvis's legacy will still be much bigger. How many millions will visit his birthplace, his home town, etc. Nowhere close to Elvis. Heck, even Elvis impersonators draw a bigger audience!
FabFM 1 year ago
@FabFM ...
Micheal Jackson sells more records than elvis has after death. does that make MJ legacy bigger? Little Richard blew the lid off the Fifties, laying the foundation for rock and roll with his explosive music and charismatic persona. On record, he made spine-tingling rock and roll. His frantically charged piano playing and raspy, shouted vocals on such classics as "Tutti Frutti", "Long Tall Sally" and "Good Golly, Miss Molly" defined the dynamic sound of rock and roll. That the facts.
creaturebotman 1 year ago
@creaturebotman No he hasn't. The amount of records sold after death still belongs to Elvis. Within the 24 hours after his death 20 million records were sold. Number 1 hits are still had by Elvis all these years on, whether or not MJ does that remains to be seen. And it was Elvis who blew the lid off the '50s (the FACT is 50 million never tuned in to see Little Richard perform on TV). Little Richard didn't define Rock N Roll, no one single handedly did that, not even Elvis.

FabFM 1 year ago
@FabFM Elvis is a matter of merchandising. He wasn´t a good music writter; he did not play any music instrument well; was the king of "covers"; and used to tint his har yet. Black people put Elvis on the music map. He recorded four Little Richard´s smash hits. Two Chuck Berry´s hits. Two Big Joe´s Turner´s hits. Two Arthur Crudup´s hits and Good songs writters did not give to Elvis songs for him to be recorded. So, more and more Elvis did many "covers" often and often.
willpn100 10 months ago
@willpn100 Rubbish. Merhcandisng is The Spice Girls, The Backstreet Boys and NYSNC, not a man who changed the musical map and is still as popular all these decades later. Oh and guess what, all the acts I just mentioned "wrote songs", I guess you'd call them all musical geniuses by your logic. A song is only as good as someone likes it. Most people don't read liner notes to check who wrote what before they decide if they like a song. And Elvis' legacy speaks more than your tunnel view of him!
FabFM 10 months ago
@FabFM Nobdy checks who wrote the songs. That´s why everybody finds those songs were his. To Elvis is a great business.
willpn100 10 months ago
@willpn100 No, people don't check the songs BEFORE because people like to listen to music. Fans later check pout who wrote songs they like. However, the songs are Elvis'. All the top writers rated him, which is why I said his legacy speaks more than your tunnel view. The Beatles, Dylan, Buddy Holly, Little Richard, Chuck Berry et all all loved Elvis. If anyone speaks for songwriters it's them, not you!
FabFM 10 months ago
@FabFM The songs are not Elvis. Elvis loved Little Richard at the point to record four smash hits of LRichard. He loved Chuck Berry and recorded two songs of CBerry and so on with others artists. He´s the king of "covers". I would like to see Elvis being a success with his own song writing or own hits.
Long Tall Sally/Tutti Frutti/Ready Teddy/Rip It Up: are originally LRichard´s hits;
Johnny B. Goode/Memphis: are originally CBerry´s hits;
Shake, RAttle and Roll/Flip Flop and Fly:.........
willpn100 10 months ago
@willpn100 Yes, the songs are Elvis, he's the one who had the hits. His versions were the success. End of. Again the people you rant on about adored him. Chuck Berry even said "Elvis - the greatest there ever is, or ever will be". His own words speak more than your tunnel view. So stop with the same tired points. No one says the mamas and papas were crap because the singers didn't write the songs. Many great singers didn't write. So what? Doesn't bother me, too bad if it does you!
