The Bealtes were performers too, they were touring since Hamburg.

@@johnmc3862 Yes they were all three.

Read memoirs of Billy Shears and listen 🎧 to Mike Williams on KZfaq. Beatles did not write ✍️ all of their songs. A lot of the songs 🎵 they laid out the vocals.

@@billyshears988 the difference is Elvis wrote two of his songs.

John Lenon "Prima di Elvis c'era il nulla" Bono U2 " Elvis is big bang of the rock" Elvis ha reso mondiale l'universo giovanile

yeah and john was obsessed with him they said that all of them liked him but loved him so much that it was awkward when they met

But was he on the couch or did he answer the door?

Bro, they were all elvis fans

He was wearing red

A bit obvious... that's quite well known imo, but I get that some don't know about it. You don't need that newer Wired interview to prove it, lots of older interviews have been recorded of them liking Elvis. John in particular was infactuated with Elvis back in his early days, all of em' were. Have a great day

Everyone did in those times

Seems like, considering the times, John was probably asking because they had stopped playing live by then, too, or were planning to do so.

❤This makes sense! Everyone loved Elvis 🕺🏼 ❤

False.

@cunt320 well this was according to her, dude. I wasn't born yet

this is hard, because in 1970 when he meets Nixon he said Beatles is anti-american, he wanted ban the group, opposite of this, BUT he sang Yesterday, Hey Jude and in 1973 Something in Hawaii...it's very difficult to say if he liked or hate the Beatles

There are some photos of Elvis and the Beatles of that night of August 27th 1965.

There is a video of audio of Elvis singing several Beatles songs at one of his Graceland parties, glasses clinking, background chatter and then Elvis being a Beatle for the night. It's obviously a fake. Elvis singing 'Strawberry Fields' was one of the songs. A few from the 'white album' also.

@@terrythekittieful Thats Funny LOL , You can almost imagine Elvis doing that.

Yea I heard that rumour although Ringo drowns Elvis with he’s vocals🙄

There was no tape. It's just a rumour. Nothing was recorded.

The comeback show (68?) was very good,...he was in good form there.

Elvis knew it himself and needed no Lennon to say it

@@ekunsa if he knew it, then he didn’t act on it because he made those silly movies for 8 or 9 years.

@@johnharrison9685 he was force to do it by Colonel Parker, great he got to make the comeback and leave that behind

I heard Elvis never liked his Movie making?, but John Lennon apparently said something insulting, he thought and said ' I Believe Elvis Presley's Rock&Roll Lost a real edge when Elvis returned from The USA Military, John Lennon said The Military ruined Elvis

The beatkes were actually pretty disappointed by Elvis when they met him, he was quite dull. They were more imoressed by his remote controlled television

@@flamingpi2245 That's not true. According to Priscilla Presley, When The Beatles met Elvis Presley they sat two on his left and two at his side. They kept staring at Elvis because they were starstruck. Elvis got weirded out and told them "Hey guys, if all we're gonna do is sit here then I'm just gonna go to bed. You don't want to play music or something?" The Beatles sat up and were amazed that, that was even an option. They played music together. Later in the evening, John Lennon cornered Elvis Presley and asked him why he stopped doing live shows. This apparently struck Elvis' pride. Which prompted Elvis to later make his comeback with the 1968 comeback special.

@@HEAVYDIAPER I never heard of this, they jammed? As far as I heard Ringo says he was waiting them sitting According to Paul he actually opened the door, they talked a bit about bass cos he used to play it, and yeah, the remote control thing for them was very cool, cos it was the first they ever saw, and it was ELVIS, they thought "omg, he really is the king!" But they JAMMED? wtf

Yep and he also was armed when he met the president 😂

Based Elvis

Later he did say he didn't belived in Elvis, lol hehehe

John is right though, most of your favorite bands wouldn’t be here today without Elvis

@@frankguy9772 he was saying it was the end of a era and a generation with the song god, that’s why he says the dream is over

probably wouldnt like them tbh. even musicians that helped create heavy metal and played pretty heavy in the 60s like ginger baker and keith richards dont like metallica

@@minecraftcoolman59 i would say beatles were the creator of heavy metal. black sabbath came 2-3 years after their heavy metal stuff. helter skelter

@@fredriksasaa6969 So many hard rocking tunes in the latter half of the 60s to inspire heavy metal that Helter Skelter is only one of many!

they are sell outs

@@johnfogarty1792 yup... every night they play.

Can thank "Colonel" Tom Parker for that

It was revealed that whoever send the congrats wasn't him.

this

That’s definitely a clash between two eras right there. Songwriters and singers were two different entities in pretty much all pop music until the 60’s. So it must have been pretty jarring to see that happen. I’m pretty sure Frank Sinatra had some choice words for the Beatles, and a lot of that likely came from a different paradigm of how pop music should be done.

@@switch1e Sinatra didn’t like Elvis and rock and roll at first. And same for Elvis son the Beatles. Generational I suppose. Jazz to rock and roll to British influence blues/ska/folky

Didn’t need to he was the king

@@seandarcy7651 An envious king, apparently. Elvis never "swallowed" the Beatles.

If there should be any resenment it should be against that exploitaive "Colonel" Tom Parker who made Elvis do All those awful low budget Hollywood B movies that nearly destroyed his music career.

@@erniefernandez1927 True but most people think emotionally and not logically.

In the Comeback Special you mentioned, he admitted to liking the Beatles when asked what he thought of what was then "today's music"

@@jamesdean9183 its kind of perplexing because Im am such a big fan of The Beatles as well as The King, and its so funny that Elvis recorded and sang some of The Beatles songs and then goes to White House to see Tricky Dick and talk about the Beatles being anti American and being a bad influence on the American youth. Its one of those WTF moments in Rock history.

Except that anyone who knew Elvis would tell you he was anything but resentful. It is quite possible that Elvis, a real patriot, simply saw the way the 60s ended and man there was a lot of anti Americanism all over the world. The culture was suffused with it. Who were the leaders of this culture ? Yeh, so just maybe that was his rationale.

Elvis didn't write that song though

Where does Paul comment on it? Never ever heard this?

Who says Elvis was jealous? He had nothing against them. Both Elvis and the Beatles had their weaknesses, such as songwriting for Elvis and the Beatles weren’t the greatest entertainers and don’t move around on stage.

​@@marilynpresley2am because Elvis had no talent.

@@DerekDerekDerekDerekDerekDerek Elvis was extremely talented, let’s not deny straight facts. The Beatles were great songwriters, but Elvis had an extraordinary voice and he was an outstanding entertainer.

@@marilynpresley2amhis actions are pretty indicative of someone who was bitter and jealous. actions speak a lot louder than words sometimes

@@DerekDerekDerekDerekDerekDerekno ☠️

He promoted communist utopian garbage. I listened to it when i was 12 and now i realize its not cool its just naive hippie music. "Imagine" is literally communist messaging

John was anti american when it was convieniant for him just like imagining no posessions the lyrics sounded alot like communist manifesto john had his piece of the pie

Yep, as shown in ‘Get Back’ when the title song was obviously McCartney’s Baby from beginning to end, seeing how Lennon wasn’t even in the room when Paul started jamming away while waiting for late Lennon. Yet John was credited as co-writer(unless being truant warrants credit?).

@@crazyralph6386 “When McCartney and Lennon met as teenagers and began writing songs together, they agreed that all songs written by them (whether individually or jointly) should be credited to both of them.”

@@jakeembers got it

Actually, those around Elvis and the Beatles said they got along great. They jammed and and sang together. It was only a bit awkward at the beginning because they were starstruck and were just staring at him and Elvis said, "If you all are going to just sit there and stare, then I'm going to go upstairs and go to bed" That broke the ice and they had a great evening.

@@lolajoker I just realized that a few days before this encounter with Elvis on August 27th of 1965 was the famous LSD pool party in Benedict Canyon with The Byrds,Peter Fonda and assorted Playboy bunny's on August 24th which of course inspired the legendary song She Said She Said.

Lennon was always truthful. He spoke his mind.

Very well said..

It's the greatest rock and pop band ever created... The band with the most sold number of records(~600 million) ...The band which witnessed the most successful songwriter duo(John Lennon and Paul McCartney) in history...The band which influenced many future bands and individual pop and rock singers... I hope now you know enough about the Beatles , after reading this comment...Mr. Kenneth Salyers...

then they wouldn't even meet and Elvis wouldn't sing their songs that Beatles wrote. Maybe you love Elvis, but must respect Beatles even if you don't like it

Yep, A lot of Trolls saying incoherent garbage!!!

How timely, the next video I scrolled to right after this video is a clip of Lennon saying how Pete best was a lousy drummer lmfao 🤣

Well, Lennon did a heck lot of badmouthing like about Elvis, Rolling Stones, Paul,...

Uh yea Paul and Lennon sure did badmouth other artists… and I never heard Elvis say something negative about another performer.

@@marilynpresley2am I'm not sure about badmouthing but he sure has once stated that the Beatles were a threat to American culture. It's probably the Jesus comment that might have hurt him and also he felt kinda intimated about how the Beatles dethroned not just him but every musician and band on the planet and dominated the musical world till the day they broke up.

@@ashith1297 well most Christians were upset about the Beatles, and Elvis was very religious. Though I don’t believe Elvis said anything negative towards them publicly… he went to Nixon to get a DEA badge so that he could bring his guns and prescription medications to other countries in hopes of touring overseas and that’s all… nothing about the Beatles.

Yeah but he only liked his first and second album which means he didnt liked him much. He had a chance to meet him the second time with his school mate but he didnt. His most favourite singer is chuck berry

@@froysk7449 Paul was always the bigger Elvis fan anyways.

You should read Priscilla Presley's account if The Beatles meeting Elvis in 1965.

@@froysk7449 then why did he allow yoko to ruin his performance on Mike Douglas by SINGING????

@@edwhite7475 do you think he can stop yoko from doing anything...? shes legit the one controlling his life

I bet he was your personal friend. Lol hahahhaha.

I saw him twice.

John Lenon "Prima di Elvis c'era il nulla" Bono U2 " Elvis is big bang of the rock" Elvis ha reso mondiale l'universo giovanile

I read the same, but i read opposite of this too.... from Elvis friend Larry Geller....that Elvis liked Lennon...Where is the truth?

Untrue!

So where every body else

@@ikewp901 It's a fact!

@HALF MT I'm sure they were, but we're talking about Elvis

@@kthevsamig4958 True, but we're talking about Elvis being messed up enough to just show up at the White House, uninvited, lol

It's hard to say what he thought of them... Elvis especially when the Beatles appeared on the Ed Sullivan Show in America, he behaved like a gentleman and sent them a greeting card wishing them good luck (1964), he was jealous of their success and felt threatened by them, but the meeting that Parker organized by Colonel and Brian Epstein, he could not avoid it, so he assumed that they came to him as fans (1965). As Priscilla said in an interview, she was kind to them and they were kind to her. Elvis Comeback (1968), there he declared that he likes the band. When he went to see Nixon (1970), he told him that they were taking drugs, setting a bad example for young people and being anti-American. It should be known that Elvis always felt like a patriot, in contrast to Lennon, who was pacifist and anti-war. On the other hand, he played the songs Hey Jude, Yesterday and performed Something c in Hawaii (1973). song. What might be interesting, he asked Tom Jones if it was true that the Beatles had really broken up, to which Jones replied yes, to which Elvis would have been a shame if they were the backing band...but he was joking. It's hard to say what he would have really thought of them if he hadn't been jealous.

@@mariankalikalazi1417 If Elvis had feelings of jealousy, it is quite understandable, especially considering that while The Beatles were at their creative peak, he was stuck with making Harum Scarum and Clambake. Had he been able to maintain his success by continuing to make great records, his career could easily have run alongside theirs. Instead it was a case of him having to look on while they enjoyed creative freedom, while he was forced into doing things he did not want to. Colonel Parker did not give him a fighting chance of competing with them. People like Roy Orbison and Tom Jones were able to enjoy success during their pomp, so there is no reason Elvis could not have, and no one would have been more pleased to see Elvis releasing great music than The Beatles themselves.

@@elvisleeboy that is true

Well most people supported the war. I mean Nixon won the youth vote. The media did not reflect the majority of people

@@willnill7946 The media never does reflect the majority of the people. They are as a certain Great President put it "The Enemy of the People. Nixon won a close one in 1968 running against the war. In 1972, he won a landslide being for peace with Russia and China and steadily bringing us home from Vietnam. How people got the idea that Nixon was for the war in Vietnam is I don't know what. I lived it. I know. Agitators got some people worked up and some leftist radicals took it from there. You are right. Nobody was fooled by those morons. But back to the media, fewer and fewer are believing their Deep State b...ls..t! Just sayin'.

You were probably there and know that.
