So sweet when his son is honest about his father and Benny still with his humour, no doubt that he inherited his father's talent. Great show anyway.

Even with subtitles and not speaking the language that was a great interview. Such honesty and directness but also class. Both Benny and his son seem like genuinely good people which is nice since he was imbued with so much talent and opportunity. ABBA came from a different time in some ways hard and rough and tumble but in other ways naive I think. They gave so many people so much pleasure and mixed their own culture with America’s and the worlds. I’m very grateful for them and their music. And their videos so many of which are just terrific.

When i listen to Benny's piano album the most moving songs are the ones I didn't know from ABBA or Chess.... so it was clear that he is a composer on a journey... my Mum has been diagnosed with dementia 10 years ago. As it became worse and she felt frightened a lot, we discovered that the Piano album is calming her down, gives her comfort and joy. Every since, roughly 4 years ago, that record plays a central part in her life. Sometimes when she had a bad day or ended up in hospital, i played her the record and she would start to cry. So moved emotionally by that music of Benny. Especially Chess touches her deeply and her eyes become teary. But she forgets all evil and pain all angst not knowing exactly what happens to her... if ever she will pass, she's 87 now, we children agreed that songs of that album will be played at her funeral. This man, this record, his oevre was our biggest help over the last years to comfort our mum in times of trouble. Sometimes when she listens to the music, she waves to Benny imagining him sitting at the piano and throws him kissed and thanks him for the beautiful music. Thank you for the music

Benny and Björn are musical geniuses. Not all marriages work and the music industry has its own pressures. I think both Frida and Agnetha are in a happy place now. Great interview by the way.

Thank you to Benny Andersson and Björn Ulvaeus for the music and hit songs of ABBA, my favourite old school pop band from Stockholm, Sweden.

ABBA are now back together and I’m sure that Ludvig had a big part to play for it to happen. Benny finally listened from his son!

I love that his Son is pushing him for a reunion. Great interview.

I love Benny, watching him rock and play the piano, then headbang. After all that he would smile the sweetest smile in the world. Now he comes on stage with his gorgeous son. Wow! What a treat! Ludwig is so handsome. He is also very talented, like his father. Benny, thank you for the joy you have brought to the world. Thank you ABBA! ❤️🌹❤️

great interview, thanks. Ludvig seems to be a nice person, kudos goes also to the father

*Grattis Benny på 70-års dagen!*

This is a real treat, thank you for uploading this, especially for the subtitles.

Thank you for the music 🎶

I love seeing Benny and Bjorn's Names when I Watched the Videos of Mamma Mia 1 n 2 Premier Showing. Brilliant Project to include Hollywood Stars, even Tom Hanks attended both occasions in London

Ludvig is the real hero of ABBA getting back together.

The Pianist by ABBA & is my Group Favourite of ABBA with all my Sweetie A Kiss very strong my❤💕❤❤❤I Love very many ABBA🎤📺😚😙😘😍😗💋

From Santa Rosa in Tokyo in 1972 to Brighton, Sydney, Glasgow and now Kilkenny...the super troupers have regaled us with the Ode to freedom in the time of the metaverse space of 2021...This 50 year fleeting voyage will now slow down andante andante and take a breather....I am sure the voyage will continue somehow...as long as the eagles, birds and bumblebees spread their wings, these two dancing queens and their kings will never lose their crown or spirit....thanks for showing us the noble way old friends do to appreciate the little things...Once you told us you were nothing special, infact maybe a bit of a bore, but when all is said and done... we could not have asked for more... It was our privilege and destiny, to have shared your history, an epic half century...from the glitz and glamour of that Eurovision night to Agnetha wearing the covid mask... you basked in the glory with dignity and humility...your next stage in this marvelous voyage is the remaining little step towards immortality....the gods had a notion; threw the dice and just like that took a chance on you....and you lent us your voice and let your music speak so beautifully....no doubt about it! Heaven help your hearts and we thank you once again...for the music voyage...and all the little things it brought to us!

It nice to hear all members from ABBA in Swedish (When I'm Use hear them English). I understand Swedish and Norwegian. I'm so happy they are back. I have been a fan since the 1970's. Hilsen fra Danmark.

Benny Andersson has mined the raw ores of crude sound with his ingenious ability to form music into accomplished master pieces. Chess is composed of Neo Romantic movements, laced with chorals and modern arias. Andersson showed no inhibition in choosing voicings of instrumwnts; Benny utilized instruments of new 20th century state-of-art technologies. These instrumentation probed the slumbering decay of Romanic period forms, re-vitalizing the sonada with deepened involvements of modern 2oth century tones and textures. The lingering of 18th century instruments echos vigorously among the many compositions scored by Andersson over the years of Benny's practice of music; And, Benny Andersson continues to orchestrate - some composition being produced before: THE INK HAS DRIED [colliquial].

Takk Fredrik !!!

Woow benny andersson.. Live long Iife...favorit me.👍 from indonesia 🙏🙏💙💙💙

Very good interview.

There should be an ABBA movie, a story of how these fantastic 4 started from humble beginnings at Eurovision to their peak height of their careers to retirement to getting back together again after 40 years... I betcha this movie will be sellout. Just wondering which actors/actresses will portrayed these 4? 💕

Legend!

And now look - superb… 👏👏👏

I'll trust Ludvig to do his best to convince his father a bit...for ABBA...:-) I think he found good words to express his feelings for ABBA...

I wish with all my heart that the fab 4 ABBA would want to release more music after voyage.

I wrote lyrics for an ABBA song. I have the melodies they can use, or they can create their own. This song can close all of their shows and give a sendoff to all of their fans. I'd love a chance to share it with ABBA.

Хорош мужик...

That huge sum of money they were offered was one BILLION US dollars.

10:55: I bet Ludvig is delighted about the new ABBA songs.

Benny is on par w/Jon Lord and Ray Manzarek.

Grattis på födelsedagen Bennny!

Can you maybe add some subtitles?

👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻

I have seen all four interviews of the ABBA members. I noticed he is some kind of afraid to aşk question about ABBA. I think all four members don't want to talk about that time. Mayba bad.memories? İt is finished and done. But we as listeners of those songs still live the 70s and I like it too. We stuck in the 70s but the member don't, finish

I'm not sure that I would describe London or the United Kingdom as a "tax haven" even today. Yes, tax rates for the richest are lower than in Scandinavia (between 40% and 50%) but I would have thought Monaco (referenced in "Money, Money, Money" of course) etc. would be better. In the 1970s we had Scandinavian levels of taxation with the top rate at 83% with a 15% surcharge for income from share investments making a top rate of effectively 98% for some income. OUCH!!! That was done away with of course as did the Norwegians with their effective top rate of 105% (!!!) which obviously is a bad idea. Regarding Benny's comment about an Englishman not appreciating forests I can tell you that this Englishman certainly does and would love the idea of living in Scandinavia certainly for a while to see if it were to work out. People in the Nordic countries seem to be better educated and have a much better attitude towards their surroundings and environment and in Britain we have a large class of people who have a bad attitude towards such things with hooligan behaviour, leaving litter everywhere and a general disregard for things which they are unconcerned with but should be. I love Nordic scenery and also winter sports being a massive sports fan generally. There is much that this Englishman very much admires about the Nordic world, Abba being one of course!

Too old and too much water under the bridge for any reunion. It's clear that it won't ever happen, even if, as here, he doesn't quite slam the door on it. Trying to get four people who don't need the money and who all divorced each other several decades ago, to feel the same way at the same time is a step too far.

Where are the English subtitles?

Hej Benny Andersson! En helsning från Stickan Andersson dotter i Sverige!

Why do the subtitles say "anyways" when it should be "anyway". :/

Du med Bjørn

does he speak norweigen or swedish?

El hijo se parece mas a su madre no salio favorecido de cara

Ludwig doesn’t look like Benny

i know is something going on...

There is about as much chance of Abba getting back together as The Beatles getting back together....I would be happy with Dire Straits or Oasis these days.

10:00 Skavlan tänker typ "Vilka fan e de?! 😥"

Is it just me or does Benny's son look like he could have Agnetha's genes? What really happened there?!?

08:37 The "feminist" Benny has 20 men in his band...

Bjorn and Benny were never true men they were simply boys who left their wives in the moment Agnetha and Frida needed them most! Very sad story. I think most of ABBA fans are very disappointed in Bjorn and Benny.

He has not aged very well at all....

The way these people talk to each other is so awkward. Either that's how it is in their (Swedish) culture or the host lacks interviewing skills. Not every host is David Letterman.

Benny, very unlikable character.
