You cannot dislike or 'hate' Elvis Presley.The ones who do or say they do are just idiots who do not know how to express how they feel.Elvis is classic rock n' roll,can sing anything and make it sound good,you just have to accept that, Rest In Peace,Elvis Presley.
look, be thankful for elvis. He has shapped the music we have today. even tho its shit & horrid, without him, all of the rest of the music throughout the late 50's, 60's,70's & 80's wouldnt have been what they wer
Elvis IS and ALWAYS will be the ultimate Entertainer. and Mystery Train with Scotty Moore at Guitar was a classic!!! NOBODY can imitate his "echo" of the train coming through the tunnel................ ROCK ON SCOTTY!
My favourite early Elvis tune. Don't agree that 1970s wasn't worthy though. I used to think otherwise as I grew up on my parents 1950's 45's, but the guy was a tremendous performer with guitar or w/ a monster Vegas band.
@willpn100 Fair point, thanks for the feedback, and yes, Bill deserves admiration and adulation, no doubt, Elvis mentioned more then once how he went to see Bill and Bill was an idol of a developing Elvis, history is FACT.. But sadly, Bill wasn't EYE CATCHING as a younger Elvis was, and Elvis was soave, moved exotically and sang differently to anyone. BB King has said many times how Elvis had own frasiology with lyrics that was unique, Rufus Thomas adored Elvis for this fact. Bill was a legend..
He was awesome in the 50's, spent too much time making movies in the 60's, then became a fat, bloated cliche in the Las Vegas 70's. He was a great entertainer, but not much of a songwriter or musician.
@fusejockey Thanks for your information ! However ,in all scores ( Chords lyrics Mystery Train ,on google) the lyrics are "Train I ride..." ,and that's what my french ears always heard ,lol !

@soldierofjesus100 Are you serious? Elvis was in the Military?? NO, ELVIS AARON PRESLEY WAS NEVER EVER EVER I REPEAT NEVER IN THE MILITARY!!!! He was DRAFTED, i repeat DRAFTED into the Army as Drafting was still used to recruit servicemen. Drafting is against ONE's FREE WILL. I'm happy to be corrected if/when i err, on this you are WRONG. F.O.I documents even show how the Govt thought they could entice more enlistings while halting his influence.. They ARE the FACTS... Hence he was shipped off.
@soldierofjesus100 Also, while Drafted they (Govt) wanted him in the Entertaining arm (more propaganda to recruit more) and Elvis chose the hard road, patrol, posts etc in the freezing snow to show his comrades he was like them, even more reason to applaud the man. He could've cruised YET he battled and did what everyone else was, others were blown away by that...

Stop arguing about Haley and Presley, Haley started singing before Presley. Does that make him better? No, just that he sing R&R earlier! Why don't you comment on this song instead of wasting space?
In his last years Bill Haley would walk in restraunts in Beumont TX ,and ask strangers inside if they knew who he was, they would nodd no, he would just turn around and walk out without saying a word.You think Elvis would have got the same responce if he walk into the same joints. P.S. Bill Haley was not photo genic because he had a crooked eye while Elvis looked like a Greek God. any comments about my comment your all free to make them.
I've just listened to several other artists' renditions of "Mystery Train" and it's amazing how none can begin to touch Elvis Presley's version. I've written of its mystique, and on hearing it again I'm struck by Elvis' genius in how he handles the song's lyrics, the rhythmic release of the words, whether a word is stretched or broken, attacked with an edge or softened or slurred. When he sings the word "train" it's packed with loss, love, pain, anger & regret. And you feel it's personal.
This man not only changed the US he changed the world. Look at his impact still after 34 years. Like John Lennon said before their was Elvis their was nothing. He is the best end of story end of discussion!
@chloedancer1965 all Elvis Presley did was play black music. "Sam Phillips, the founder of Sun Records, reputedly boasted that he would make a fortune if he could find a white singer who sounded black." I'm a white male, so you can't say I'm being racist. Elvis was a master of black musical styles, but he happened to be white and that's why he became so famous. Sorry, but the truth hurts doesn't it?
@chloedancer1965 for white people, maybe, 'cause they wouldn't listen to chuck berry!!! it took elvis AND john lennon to bring the music to pop culture.
@cheryldymond Black people loved him too, Chuck adored him, BB worshiped him and James Brown called him his Soul brother. Elvis was unique and a pioneer, they ALL admit as much. He was a great man because he afforded the Black man RESPECT in a time of ugly, ignorant and nasty racism. This Cat adored his African American brothers and always said they inspired him. Elvis was a Gift From God...As were many others, Elvis was just the SPARK the globe needed, RACE become a redundant word post ELVIS...
couldnt agree more mate. the reason elvis was the king of rock n roll is because his music was different to ther artists music back then his rock n roll moved you far better than other rock n roll. thats not taking anything away from other artists but its just stating the truth .
@chloedancer1965 Whilst Presley did change things a hell of a lot - influencing many artists, prominently The Who and The Beatles, The Beatles changed things more than Presley did.
@kingsofcarnage Beatles were AWESOME, however Elvis was shipped off to Germany and upon his return thrust into the World of Formula Movies, or should i say Elvis Formula Movies. Beatles were EXPLODING everywhere, different set of motives, Beatles were FREE, Elvis was already a Prisoner of his own Formula. Don't for 1 second think i think lesser of Beatles, just that Elvis was 1 cat, didn't have John, Paul, Ringo or George to bounce ideas or chill with. Sadly, Elvis was ignorant, to trustworthy..
One of my all time Elvis favourites the guitar licks by Scotty Moore are great Elvis sounds like he really enjoyed singing this by his laugh at the end he sure changed music for the better
@willpn100 Everyone has their own opinion of who's "the best", I think when he arrived on the scene he changed the world of music and made rock and roll the dominant form of music, He was a force who shook up the staid world of Perry Como, Pat Boone and all the other safe singers of the day. "the best"....to each his own on that score.

@mountainat85 Sure. But like a singer he´s not the best at the point to be called "the king". Ray Charles, Frank Sinatra and Otis Redding are best than him.
Elvis was never a good guitar player, but in my opinion without his the feel he puts into his rhythm guitar playing some of these old songs would not be as good even though it's just a few chords.
@willpn100 Even heard about irony? I said I know him because you would say I'm ignorant because this guy wrote "That's All Right". But doesn't matters, since Elvis got sucess in all over the world and got more than 1 billion people watching his show live on TV. And almost nobody know who Arthur is, ok? That's why I said "WHO?". Now, do you get it? Do you understand what irony is now?
@VeranzaTheKingC´mon, if nobobdy knows who is Arthur Big Boy Crudup that´s because people in the 50´s had enormous prejudice ´bout negroes. Elvis and RCA were part of a capitalism economy. Arthur was part of a "underground" culture, that is more interesting to me. You demonstrate that yu don´t like unknown artist. I prefer the one that is a creator not a plagiarism.
@willpn100 Where did I demonstrate that? I just said Elvis is better, this is a fact. It isn't my fault if Arthur wasn't that famous. Usually, famous people are better than people who isn't (not beginners).
@willpn100 Oh Oh Oh! Are you saying Beethoven isn't famous? I mean, WTH? You don't understand nothing somebody says... Beethoven was born some hundred years ago, ok? He's still famous and liked by WHO LIKES CLASSIC MUSIC. Some people don't know Beethoven because they just don't like classic music. Anyway, you can't compare a rock and roll singer to a classical music composer. Different styles.
Oh. And you can't say Elvis is bad, because you don't know nothing about Rock And Roll, ok?
@VeranzaTheKing C´mon. You know what I mean. I mean that Beethoven is the creator but he is not the most famous artist in the world. Who likes classic music? Dozen persons! It doesn´t matter. Good music isn´t made for everybody. Elvis records were recorded just for selling. And I just want to come down on a faker. I hate "covers" He´s the king of "cover versions". It´s a dirty shame!
@VeranzaTheKing No, you´re wrong. I love expressing my opinion and only youtube gives me this opportunity. You´ve said that I don´t know anything about rock and roll? I think you´ve only know who is Elvis. Rock and roll is my favourite subject!.
Question nº 1: Who is the father of rock and roll?
Question nº 2: What´s the name of the first white rock and roller to perform at Apollo Theatre?
Question nº 3: Was Elvis the firs vocalist to record "That´s All right Mama/Mistery Train?
@willpn100 I don't give a f*cking cr*p about what you think you know. Elvis done it bad? Educate yourself. Elvis had one of the best voices of rock and roll singers. Look like you, big master of rock and roll, don't know almost nothing. And if you prefer underground culture, then you shouldn't like of Buddy Holly, Jerry Lee Lewis, Eddie Cocharn, The Beatles... And not all the black people was from "underground" culture. Even heard about CHUCK BERRY? BB King?
@willpn100 Just saying, I know who Arthur is,he wrote songs like "That's All Right". But, c'mon, educate yourself, if Elvis wasn't good he wouldn't get more than 1 billion people watching his show in Hawaii live on TV.
@Veranza Any show broadcasted all over the world is watched by billions of people. It´s a matter of marketing. C´mon, Maddona, Michael Jackson also get more than 2 billions people watching their shows.
@VeranzaTheKing Why you are so angry? We are discussing ´bout music! Don´t you exasperate. I am not the big master of rock but in my opinion, I find Roy Orbison (the best voice of rock and roll) and Gene Vincent better than Elvis. Don´t you agree with me? What do you think about Big Joe Turner´s (Shake, Rattle and Roll/Flip Flop and Fly)?. Elvis used to love his songs!
@willpn100 Now you're saying something bearable. If you think Roy Orbison and Gene Vicent better than Elvis, ok. Actually, Roy Orbison "introduced" me to Rock and Roll. But it isn't bearable to see somebody saying my preferred singer done it bad. And, lol, I wasn't angry.
@willpn100 The conversation ends here. It's so hard to talk to somebody stupid at the point to say that Elvis did not sing well. And don't come saying that's your opinion, no one gives a cr*p. And talking about opinion, you have to respect Elvis as everybody should have to respect each other, and someone could say you're crazy, because you just go in Elvis videos to keep trolling. You don't have a musical taste, the only taste you have on rock and roll is hate Elvis. That's what you demonstrate.
@willpn100 Presley did more than simply cover a song. His Sun Session were reworkings of older songs from Hillbilly or Blues styles. Presley, Scotty Moore and Bill Black mixed these styles together and they called it Rockabilly. Compare the original Blue Moon of Kentucky with Elvis' Rockabilly version and it may as well be a completely different song. Do you not listen to Whitney Houstons version of "I will always love you'" just because its a cover of Dolly Partons country classic?
@rbound827 Bill Haley did the same before Elvis. In 1951, Bill Haley was the first to put the hit "Rocket 88" on the map, and become the first r&b song to be recorded in a "rock-a-billy" style. In 1953, he recorded "Crazy, Man Crazy, the first rock-a-billy song that reached pop charts. Elvis and his supporting band, did not invent anything, just copied black and hillbilly artists in his entire life. Nobody was saved by his attack!.
@willpn100 Whitney´s fans will always listen to her version. Fot those who like country classic, will always listen to Dolly´s version. That´s normal. Which one do you prefer? I prefer underground culture. So that I pefer the original version of "Blue Moon of Kentucky". Original ideas are the best!, like or not.
@willpn100 I'm sure I can list dozens of cover versions that are far superior than the original recordings from artists of every genre. To say only the original is better is ignorant. Many times if the songwriter is the one singing the song, you may have a case- but when it's too different artists doing a song written by an outside writer, then it's anyone's game.

Stop arguing about Haley and Presley, Haley started singing before Presley. Does that make him better? No, just that he sing R&R earlier! Why don't you comment on this song instead of wasting space?

In his last years Bill Haley would walk in restraunts in Beumont TX ,and ask strangers inside if they knew who he was, they would nodd no, he would just turn around and walk out without saying a word.You think Elvis would have got the same responce if he walk into the same joints. P.S. Bill Haley was not photo genic because he had a crooked eye while Elvis looked like a Greek God. any comments about my comment your all free to make them.

I've just listened to several other artists' renditions of "Mystery Train" and it's amazing how none can begin to touch Elvis Presley's version. I've written of its mystique, and on hearing it again I'm struck by Elvis' genius in how he handles the song's lyrics, the rhythmic release of the words, whether a word is stretched or broken, attacked with an edge or softened or slurred. When he sings the word "train" it's packed with loss, love, pain, anger & regret. And you feel it's personal.

@chloedancer1965 all Elvis Presley did was play black music. "Sam Phillips, the founder of Sun Records, reputedly boasted that he would make a fortune if he could find a white singer who sounded black." I'm a white male, so you can't say I'm being racist. Elvis was a master of black musical styles, but he happened to be white and that's why he became so famous. Sorry, but the truth hurts doesn't it?

@chloedancer1965 for white people, maybe, 'cause they wouldn't listen to chuck berry!!! it took elvis AND john lennon to bring the music to pop culture.

@cheryldymond Black people loved him too, Chuck adored him, BB worshiped him and James Brown called him his Soul brother. Elvis was unique and a pioneer, they ALL admit as much. He was a great man because he afforded the Black man RESPECT in a time of ugly, ignorant and nasty racism. This Cat adored his African American brothers and always said they inspired him. Elvis was a Gift From God...As were many others, Elvis was just the SPARK the globe needed, RACE become a redundant word post ELVIS...

couldnt agree more mate. the reason elvis was the king of rock n roll is because his music was different to ther artists music back then his rock n roll moved you far better than other rock n roll. thats not taking anything away from other artists but its just stating the truth .

@chloedancer1965 Whilst Presley did change things a hell of a lot - influencing many artists, prominently The Who and The Beatles, The Beatles changed things more than Presley did.

@kingsofcarnage Beatles were AWESOME, however Elvis was shipped off to Germany and upon his return thrust into the World of Formula Movies, or should i say Elvis Formula Movies. Beatles were EXPLODING everywhere, different set of motives, Beatles were FREE, Elvis was already a Prisoner of his own Formula. Don't for 1 second think i think lesser of Beatles, just that Elvis was 1 cat, didn't have John, Paul, Ringo or George to bounce ideas or chill with. Sadly, Elvis was ignorant, to trustworthy..

@willpn100 Everyone has their own opinion of who's "the best", I think when he arrived on the scene he changed the world of music and made rock and roll the dominant form of music, He was a force who shook up the staid world of Perry Como, Pat Boone and all the other safe singers of the day. "the best"....to each his own on that score.

Now, do you get it? Do you understand what irony is now?
VeranzaTheKing 10 months ago
@VeranzaTheKingC´mon, if nobobdy knows who is Arthur Big Boy Crudup that´s because people in the 50´s had enormous prejudice ´bout negroes. Elvis and RCA were part of a capitalism economy. Arthur was part of a "underground" culture, that is more interesting to me. You demonstrate that yu don´t like unknown artist. I prefer the one that is a creator not a plagiarism.
willpn100 10 months ago
@willpn100 Where did I demonstrate that? I just said Elvis is better, this is a fact. It isn't my fault if Arthur wasn't that famous. Usually, famous people are better than people who isn't (not beginners).

@willpn100 Oh Oh Oh! Are you saying Beethoven isn't famous? I mean, WTH? You don't understand nothing somebody says... Beethoven was born some hundred years ago, ok? He's still famous and liked by WHO LIKES CLASSIC MUSIC. Some people don't know Beethoven because they just don't like classic music. Anyway, you can't compare a rock and roll singer to a classical music composer. Different styles.
Oh. And you can't say Elvis is bad, because you don't know nothing about Rock And Roll, ok?
VeranzaTheKing 10 months ago
@VeranzaTheKing C´mon. You know what I mean. I mean that Beethoven is the creator but he is not the most famous artist in the world. Who likes classic music? Dozen persons! It doesn´t matter. Good music isn´t made for everybody. Elvis records were recorded just for selling. And I just want to come down on a faker. I hate "covers" He´s the king of "cover versions". It´s a dirty shame!

@willpn100 I don't give a f*cking cr*p about what you think you know. Elvis done it bad? Educate yourself. Elvis had one of the best voices of rock and roll singers. Look like you, big master of rock and roll, don't know almost nothing. And if you prefer underground culture, then you shouldn't like of Buddy Holly, Jerry Lee Lewis, Eddie Cocharn, The Beatles... And not all the black people was from "underground" culture. Even heard about CHUCK BERRY? BB King?

@VeranzaTheKing Why you are so angry? We are discussing ´bout music! Don´t you exasperate.

What do you think about Big Joe Turner´s (Shake, Rattle and Roll/Flip Flop and Fly)?. Elvis used to love his songs!

@willpn100 Now you're saying something bearable. If you think Roy Orbison and Gene Vicent better than Elvis, ok. Actually, Roy Orbison "introduced" me to Rock and Roll. But it isn't bearable to see somebody saying my preferred singer done it bad. And, lol, I wasn't angry.

@willpn100 Presley did more than simply cover a song. His Sun Session were reworkings of older songs from Hillbilly or Blues styles. Presley, Scotty Moore and Bill Black mixed these styles together and they called it Rockabilly. Compare the original Blue Moon of Kentucky with Elvis' Rockabilly version and it may as well be a completely different song. Do you not listen to Whitney Houstons version of "I will always love you'" just because its a cover of Dolly Partons country classic?
rbound827 10 months ago
@rbound827 Bill Haley did the same before Elvis. In 1951, Bill Haley was the first to put the hit "Rocket 88" on the map, and become the first r&b song to be recorded in a "rock-a-billy" style. In 1953, he recorded "Crazy, Man Crazy, the first rock-a-billy song that reached pop charts. Elvis and his supporting band, did not invent anything, just copied black and hillbilly artists in his entire life. Nobody was saved by his attack!.
willpn100 10 months ago
@willpn100 Whitney´s fans will always listen to her version. Fot those who like country classic, will always listen to Dolly´s version. That´s normal. Which one do you prefer? I prefer underground culture. So that I pefer the original version of "Blue Moon of Kentucky". Original ideas are the best!, like or not.
willpn100 10 months ago
@willpn100 I'm sure I can list dozens of cover versions that are far superior than the original recordings from artists of every genre. To say only the original is better is ignorant. Many times if the songwriter is the one singing the song, you may have a case- but when it's too different artists doing a song written by an outside writer, then it's anyone's game.
