Elvis is the true King of rock n' roll

[bradhusker]

you know, its funny when people try to dis-agree with the notion of elvis presley being the true king of rock n roll.
why is it funny??? because everytime they try to do this, they get schooled by me, thats right, they get their collective rear ends taken out back behind the woodshed, BY ME, I have over 30 years research in the history of rock n roll, and I can make anyone look foolish who tries to say that elvis is not the true king of rock n roll.
not only will I make you look stupid, but, I will totally destroy you, and, I will do this with HARD FACTS. so, let the games begin, Bring it!

elvis grew up listenning to blues, gospel and country, these were huge influences on the young elvis, he first stepped into the sun recording studio in 1953, to make a record for his mother, a year would pass before he would return to sun studios, BUT, when he did return, he took an old rhythm and blues number, called, "thats all right mama", WOW!!!!! listen to this recording today, its fucking amazing! "ROCKABILLY, a combination of black blues, gospel and white country, "baby lets play house" "mystery train", tiger man, TODAY, almost 60 years later, these recordings still sound FRESH, EXCITING, TIMELESS!

Big Joe Turner wrote a song called, "Shake ratttle and roll". in fact, go to youtube and watch and listen to Big Joe as he sings "shake rattle and roll", THEN, watch the young elvis presley doing "shake rattle and roll" and ITS NIGHT AND DAY! elvis is raw, edgy, exciting, punkish, he is vital and screamin like a punk rocker!!! Big Joe, who penned the lyrics, he just sounds ordinary and vanilla in comparison to elvis. I have shown these videos to many people, and the consensus is the same, elvis is fresh raw and punkish, screamin like lightenning in a bottle, this is rockabilly at its most vital its most dangerous.

what is so amazing about the young elvis presley is that he is a freak of nature, a force to be reckonned with, he is exciting to watch and dangerous and sexy, and the world doesnt know what to make of him. he rocks and rolls and does so with reckless abandon, screamin "jailhouse rock", or his sexual interrpretations in "such a night" or "treat me nice" his vocals weave a sexuality in music never before seen.

the term "KING" can only be given to an artist with a "body of work" in the recording studio. most notably, a "critically acclaimed" body of work.
in elvis' case, we see over 100 distinct recordings from the decade of the 1950's, in rhythm n blues, rockabilly, country and gospel, that have earned 5 stars and essential status from music critics worldwide. and, what is even more amazing, is that after the decade of the 1950's came to a close, elvis did what ONLY a true artist could do, he rocked out better than anyone could ever rock n roll, NOW, he became something totally otherworldly!
he changed and branched out into other dimensions, going into the recording studio in the decade of the 1960's, arranging his own gospel sessions, making critically acclaimed gospel recordings, and recording such classics as "Its now or never", an old italian song based on "o solo mio.'

I love when people try to say that chuck berry or Little richard or jerry lee lewis were better than elvis. Elvis destroys them, and leaves them behind in the dust. see, elvis rocked just as hard as they did, in fact, elvis may have out rocked them! BUT, after elvis conquered rock n roll, he branched out like a TRUE artist, and went places they could never dream of going. elvis could now grow as an artist and do sublime gospel or croon a beautiful love song.
TO THIS DAY, chuck berry and little richard STILL do the same stuff they did way back in the 50's, and its AWESOME, their rock n roll is fuckin amazing! but, they could never follow the KING, only elvis presley could branch out into other kinds of music, and make critically acclaimed music in any genre he pleased.

bob dylan, john lennon, bruce springsteen, james brown, robert plant, little richard, have ALL publically called elvis the greatest. they are all in unison when they talk about the KING, and not just these legends, BUT, ive got countless quotes from other music GODS like Johnny cash, paul mccartney, Bono, tom petty, dolly parton, and the list goes on and on and on, they ALL come to the same conclusion, that elvis presley not only had tremendous soul, but that he was truly the KING of rock n roll, unquestionably the KING, a unique force in music, the likes of which, we may never witness again.

[Dr_Phibes]

Carl Perkins at least wrote his own songs, why didn't the King?

[bradhusker]

Carl Perkins at least wrote his own songs, why didn't the King?

well, in a nutshell? elvis wasnt a lyricist, BUT, as you know, lyrics are just one part of the creative process, sure carl wrote "blue suede shoes" BUT, when you listen to carl's version and then elvis' version back to back, its a joke, elvis cleans his clock with his own song, carl is kind of lame and gay, while elvis sounds more edgy punkish and off the charts.

also, remember this, frank sinatra wasnt a songwriter, neither was ella fitzgerald, some artists interrpret lyrics like no other, they are a very select few, who dont write lyrics, BUT, actually make those lyrics come to life in a way no one else can.
in fact, if you listen to the great ella fitzgerald, she had a way of interrpretting lyrics like no one ive ever heard, ray charles had the gift also, very few artists in history could take someone elses lyrics and turn them into something amazing, but, the ones who could do this, well, they are in a class all by themselves.
remember, lyrics are dead, until someone sings them to life, they are a poem, waiting to be musically brought to life.
carl perkins wrote "blue suede shoes" then he sang "blue suede shoes", and then elvis brought "blue suede shoes to a higher level, and even carl agreed as well, he loved the fact that elvis elevated his lyrics to a level he couldnt have possibly imagined.
heck, it probably made carl a few million bucks as well, not bad heh?

RACK a bradhusker rant!

[Dinsdale]

I didn't realize The King was a CORN FED STUD.

[BSmack]

Elvis was a hero to most
But he never meant shit to me you see
Straight up racist that sucker was
Simple and plain
Motherfuck him and John Wayne

[ucantdoitdoggieSTyle2]

From one of the best albums of all-time... rack any and all Chuck D resets.

[bradhusker]

But he never meant shit to me you see
Straight up racist that sucker was

actually, the idiot who wrote those lyrics was and IS a racist full of hate, chuck D. is a sick fag racist fucker, and he always will be.
as for elvis? its a little known FACT, that the king gave money to Dr. King and his cause.
the reason why african americans of today call elvis a racist, is simple, they cant stand the fact that a white artist can be called "the king", and they really cant stand the fact that elvis had tremendous soul.
James brown himself publically spoke of elvis' tremendous soul.
we must not let the youth today go uneducated, or else we are ALL doomed.

[bradhusker]

From one of the best albums of all-time... rack any and all Chuck D resets.

actually, the album in question , I find overrated, I can list many many albums that make chuck D look like a sissy. heres a few,

led zep IV
physical graffiti,
led zep I and II
who's next
dark side of the moon
the wall
the complete sun sessions
bat out of hell
master of puppets
live at san quentin
live at folsom prison

actually, I better stop, its too fuckin easy to beat chuck D and his racist garbage, I could go on forever, I'll let you fill in the rest.

[MgoBlue-LightSpecial]

we must not let the youth today go uneducated

I learned something new. I learned that Elvis didn't pen his own lyrics. I just lost respect for the man.

I just lost respect for you, because according to your twisted logic, if you dont write lyrics, you cannot be great?
really? you need to get educated then, cause you could not be more WRONG, my son.

ella fitzgerald wasnt a writer either, nor frank sinatra, nor tony bennett, nor barbara striesand, nor dean martin/
by the way, ella fitzgerald is one of the GODS of music, ANY kind of music, and if you dont know that, you really are uneducated.

point being, writing lyrics is only one part of the creative process. when the song, "america the beautiful" was written in the early part of the century, the songwriter had no friggin clue just how great his lyrics could be, UNTIL ray charles weaved his vocals around those lyrics.
ya follow? huh meeeeechigan loser?
by the way, nebraska will dry f+++k you guys this coming season.
hows dem apples suit ya?

[BSmack]

actually, the album in question , I find overrated...

That is because you are a mouth breathing retard. Fear of a Black Planet is just as raw and fresh today as it was 20+ years ago. It is still a monumental achievement, not just in the world of rap, but for music period.

[Carson]

Elvis used to make a killer fried peanut butter-and-banana sandwich.

Literally.

I've never listened to the album other than whatever stuff i may have inadvertently heard coming from the hooptie mobile next to me, but, i think i can go ahead and say that while it might be a monumental achievement for rap, "music period" could pretty much give two shits.

Tell you what, B. Play some in the CZ tonight. Maybe I'll change my opinion. prolly not though.

kinda hard to argue this point, other than the fact that ray was much more than a singer. he definitely had the entire package. and as far as being able to take someone else's music and cover it, nobody else comes close.

did ray cover any of elvis' (or whover wrote its) tunes? i'm sure he must have as they were contemporaries.

actually, elvis was more than a singer as well, elvis played piano and guitar as well. in fact, I own several recordings where elvis is the ONLY musician in the studio, he is on the piano, and thats it, no one else is in the studio.
also, elvis could play a really nice rhythm guitar, according to johnny cash who toured with elvis in the mid fifties.
so, next time you post in here, do me a favor, dont be a dumb retard.
oh, I almost forgot, watch the Jailhouse rock scene, where elvis is dancing, yeah, thats right, elvis was a very good dancer as well. TOTAL PACKAGE.
and, ray charles himself would tell you how amazing elvis was, so, do us a huge favor, before you speak, dont be a complete idiot.

also, when a writer just writes lyrics, and it hasnt been recorded yet, its just that, dead words, when elvis records a song in the studio, and that song goes on to critical acclaim, it becomes a work of art.
when elvis presley arranged entire gospel sessions in the studio, and those sessions produce 5 star critically acclaimed music, it shows what kind of amazing artist elvis was.
ray charles never arranged critically acclaimed gospel sessions, or, why am I surprised that you didnt know that?
cause ur a moron, a clueless fool.
in 1968, elvis is sitting in the round with his original sessions guys from the 50's. elvis is rippin thru some raw mean rockabilly, its music that bleeds soul, and only a clown with crap for brains would not understand this.
when you try to paint elvis as merely a singer, I JUST MADE YOU LOOK LIKE A RETARD, and it was way too easy.
too easy making you look completely dumb.

actually, you are a crap for brains retard, "fear of a black planet is a racist piece of crap, full of racism and hate, its disguised to appear to be righteous, yet, when you look at it with an open mind, you see layers and layers of racism, bigotry and hate.
and yes, its a piece of dung, which is why chuck D. lashed out at elvis, chuck D is a low life scum, who will NEVER reach the heights of pink floyd, led zepp, the stones or the beatles. which is why he dis-respects the GIANTS in the industry.
this is basic human psychology 101. when you cant stand the color of your own skin, you dis-respect others.
again, chuck D dis-respected THE KING, because, deep down, chuck D. realizes that he will never be at the greatness level of elvis presley.
chuck D makes an album that shows the world what a racist piece of shit he is, and you somehow think its great?
I laugh at him, and feel pity on his racist ways.

when a person has zero self esteem, like a chuck D. or a kenye west, what do they do? they dis-respect others, most notably, they themselves feel like absolute shit, so they go after the giants in the music industry, the beatles, elvis etc.. etc..
smart people, see right thru this garbage, and we laugh at chuck D, and other rap pieces of crap, notice how rappers lash out and dis-respect others?
its because they are the lowest form of life on the planet.

MgoBlue, "if elvis could make anything sound great", umm, actually, lyrics dont sound like anything, they are just words on paper, its not even a sound, just a poem,
can you hear drums on this piece of paper?? can you hear a bass or anything? nope, all I see is words on a paper.
in fact, otis blackwell wrote the words to "dont be cruel" pretty simple lyrics, nothing special, UNTIL, the king went into a recording studio and made pure rock n roll magic happen. otis didnt make the song sound playfully sexual, or dangerous at the time. IN FACT, otis' version of his own song, sucks ass in comparison with the kings'

so, according to this idiot, MgoBlue, once the lyrics are written down with pen and paper, the creative process is over? really? I just put on my bose headphones, and im holding up the lyrics to "Jailhouse Rock", funny, I cant hear anything,,,, crickets.....chirping.....

wow, this guy must be a dribbling idiotic retard.

I just turned up the volume on my 2000 watt system, and im holding up the words to shake, rattle and roll, .........nothing, I cant hear a thing
ummmm, heres the lyrics to "reconsider baby", woops, total silence..............bueller, beuller..... MgoBlue....idiot. moron...

[bradhusker]

Far's I am concernicated, this is hands up high the definitive numero uno EA Pres.....


Uh...roll it.

thanks todd, I love that song, incidently, it was written by eddie rabbitt, now, im holding up the lyrics to "kentucky rain", ive just turned up the volume on my 2000 watt system, and ..im waiting, nothing..silence...............MgoBlue told me that lyrics sound great, lyrics already are finished music, its a complete recording, so, im holding up a piece of paper written with bold blue ink, containning the lyrics to "such a night" a rock n roll classic, and, its total silence...................cricketts.....................ah, FUCK IT, I'll just put in the classic critically acclaimed rock n roll classic, "such a night", WOW!!
now that is some serious rockn' and rollin" m fucker.

in the 1950's elvis was screamin' like a punk rocker, in fact, to much of the world, that was punk, some 20 years before punk even came along,
in the 50's, rockabilly was born, it was a combination of black blues, white country and gospel music, and it further progressed into the rock n roll we all know and love.

ELVIS DIDNT create it, HE WAS THE KING, meaning that his "body of work" in the recording studio makes him the undisputed KING/
I dont care if you agree with that, but a "body of work " in the studio, which gets world-wide critical acclaim, makes me correct, and makes you look like a fool .

[MgoBlue-LightSpecial]

I don't give two shits about "critical acclaim." If you need to wait around for Rolling Stone to tell you how great something is then you're a fucking tard.

Elvis, Ray Charles, etc., were talented and undeniably influential, but I don't enjoy listening to their music. If all you know and appreciate are radio icons you haven't even scratched the surface of the world of music, Oh Educated One.

he played piano, huh? could you define "play"? and a "good rhythm player"? that means he can keep time and strum 3 cords. there is one great rhythm player that i can think of, gabriela of rodrigo y gabriela. everyone else just wasn't good enough to play lead. are you really attempting to put elvis in the same class of musician as ray charles? really?

elvis was an outstanding showman, singer and possibly arranger, although i don't know for a fact he did any. it is a stone cold fact that ray was THE arranger of his time. you, yourself sight his america the beautiful masterpiece. he could switch genres as he did with that country album in the early 60s and make it look like it was his primary genre. he had old KKK country and western fans running out to buy an album by a black dude because it was just that fukking good.

as for his arranging gospel, what the fukk do you think his earlier music was? it was jazzed up gospel and he fukking invented it. maybe you've heard of it. it's called R&B.

Elvis invented rhythm and blues? This might be one of the dumbest things I've ever read on the SC related boards and I've been around for a long time.

Can you prove this?

[smackaholic]

i was refering to ray charles. reading comp not one of your strong points, is it, vic?

[Invictus]

My comprehension is perfect but your response was so cluttered and scatter shot, I thought you were talking about Elvis, not Ray Charles.

And, a simple reading of ANY website will tell even a dullard like you that Ray Charles didn't invent any kind of music. A pioneer, perhaps but not an inventor.

A little research would have told you what many on here already know FYI.

That's cause you're twelve years old. Sprout a pube or two before you start popping off on things you know nothing about.

Being the King of Rock and Roll isn't measured in musical innovation or witty lyrics. It's measured in drenched panties and fainting coeds. Elvis set the standard in those particular metrics. He is The King. Case fucking closed.

Nobody has argued how much pussy Elvis scored, you fucking imbecile.

The sound on that particular clip is probably the best repro of the original of everything on youtube.


And it was made by someone named Katy. I wonder if she's from Kentucky too? :?



Anyway...I'm a little more partial to the late 60's/early 70's Elvis stuff, as it's the Elvis that I had the chance to hear when it was new.

thank you man, I too am partial to the late 60's elvis, the memphis sessions from january 1969, display an elvis full of pure soul, in fact, the music from these sessions bleeds soul, also, I am gonna try and post a few videos from elvis' 1968 sit down show, where he is playing rhythm guitar, and jamming "tiger man", and "tryin' to get to you", ANYONE who watches this jam session, and still doesnt get it, is either a bona-fide retard, or a complete moron.

so what if ray was a better piano player than elvis? at face value, it means NOTHING. except for the fact that it makes you out to be a clown.
a complete and utter clown is what you come across as when you try to say that ray is better than elvis at anything,
I never said that elvis was better than ray? did I?
you feel so threatened at what I did bring up, that you acted like a retard, I pointed out with FACTS, that Johnny Cash who toured with elvis in the mid fifties, he said that elvis played a nice rhythm guitar, and he was actually on tour with elvis in the middle fifties. you, on the other hand are just a panty waste.
MY main point in all this was to factually point out elvis' impressive "body of work" elvis' critically acclaimed recordings in the studio, which is comprised of a great cross section of music, everything from rhythm n blues to blues to gospel to country to rockabilly to american pop standards, to rock n roll, etc..
THAT MUSIC wil stand the test of time, its timeless, its a unique part of music in general, and, its considered to be essential by the foremost music critics of the 20th century.
so, in short, when you say that ray was a better piano player than elvis, you sound like a dried up turd and a panty waste.
in short, a clown.

[bradhusker]

actually, elvis was more than a singer as well, elvis played piano and guitar as well. in fact, I own several recordings where elvis is the ONLY musician in the studio, he is on the piano, and thats it, no one else is in the studio.
also, elvis could play a really nice rhythm guitar, according to johnny cash who toured with elvis in the mid fifties.
so, next time you post in here, do me a favor, dont be a dumb retard.
oh, I almost forgot, watch the Jailhouse rock scene, where elvis is dancing, yeah, thats right, elvis was a very good dancer as well. TOTAL PACKAGE.
and, ray charles himself would tell you how amazing elvis was, so, do us a huge favor, before you speak, dont be a complete idiot.

also, when a writer just writes lyrics, and it hasnt been recorded yet, its just that, dead words, when elvis records a song in the studio, and that song goes on to critical acclaim, it becomes a work of art.
when elvis presley arranged entire gospel sessions in the studio, and those sessions produce 5 star critically acclaimed music, it shows what kind of amazing artist elvis was.
ray charles never arranged critically acclaimed gospel sessions, or, why am I surprised that you didnt know that?
cause ur a moron, a clueless fool.
in 1968, elvis is sitting in the round with his original sessions guys from the 50's. elvis is rippin thru some raw mean rockabilly, its music that bleeds soul, and only a clown with crap for brains would not understand this.
when you try to paint elvis as merely a singer, I JUST MADE YOU LOOK LIKE A RETARD, and it was way too easy.
too easy making you look completely dumb.

he played piano, huh? could you define "play"? and a "good rhythm player"? that means he can keep time and strum 3 cords. there is one great rhythm player that i can think of, gabriela of rodrigo y gabriela. everyone else just wasn't good enough to play lead. are you really attempting to put elvis in the same class of musician as ray charles? really?

elvis was an outstanding showman, singer and possibly arranger, although i don't know for a fact he did any. it is a stone cold fact that ray was THE arranger of his time. you, yourself sight his america the beautiful masterpiece. he could switch genres as he did with that country album in the early 60s and make it look like it was his primary genre. he had old KKK country and western fans running out to buy an album by a black dude because it was just that fukking good.

as for his arranging gospel, what the fukk do you think his earlier music was? it was jazzed up gospel and he fukking invented it. maybe you've heard of it. it's called R&B.

your post is laughable, trying to make ray charles out to be "better" than elvis presley is a joke, you know it, I know it, and the world knows it.
so what if ray was a better piano player than elvis? at face value, it means NOTHING. except for the fact that it makes you out to be a clown.
a complete and utter clown is what you come across as when you try to say that ray is better than elvis at anything,
I never said that elvis was better than ray? did I?

I will further make you look un-educated once again, you try to paint elvis as just a performer, HOWEVER, this makes you look retarded and a fool at the same time, LET ME EDUCATE YOU, there are singers, there are performers, and then, there are artists who are also great singers and performers. elvis falls in the latter category.

example 1. Wayne Newton, here is a prime example of a performer, / so so singer. wayne is dynamite on stage as a performer, he knocks em dead, night after night, as a singer? he is just so so. wayne has no critically acclaimed body of work in the studio, so he is NOT an artist. although, as a performer, he is an artist.

example 2. britney spears, exciting performer, passable singer, and, her studio recordings dont have critical acclaim, so she is mainly a great performer. and, as such I guess you could say she is an artist at performing.

example 3 ANY singer or performer today who you know of who doesnt have a "body of work" in the recording studio,

FINALLY, lets get back to "the KING", elvis presley is so DYNAMIC, so unusual, so UNIQUE, that you cant even begin to understand just how great an artist this man was, from the first moment he set foot in a recording studio in the summer of 1953, to the year 1976, this ICON made critically acclaimed music in more genres than almost any artist of any generation.
elvis' musicality was so diverse, its almost without peer. the man was screamin like a punk rocker snarling the lyrics with sexual inuendo in the mid fifties,
THEN, in the early sixties, he is doing opera like singing in "its now or never", to major critical acclaim. THEN, in the late sixties, he has a gritty soul, and country feel, in fact, his voice sounds completely different in just ten short years!
now, he has a deep rich baritone voice and beautiful tone, a far cry from the young screamin punk doing "shake rattle and roll" in 1954. BUT, in all this amazing work, the man is making essential 5 star critically acclaimed music.
in such a short life, elvis presley recorded some amazing music, in 6 different styles or genres of music, he was able to garner critical acclaim. THAT IS SERIOUS business, when the critics recognize your studio work, and call some of your work "ESSENTIAL", very very few artists make it to essential status.
and the ones who do, we all know and love.
in short, I love making you look foolish, its obvious that you feel threatenned by the KING, your in bad company, so does chuck D, that racist scumbag also feels threatenned by the KING.
when you dont understand greatness, you feel scared and cowardly, just like kenye west does, stop being dumb, get educated.

[smackaholic]

good, you really are a sensitive tard.

you did say elvis was better. at least you implied the fukk outta it.

look, i like elvis' stuff too. he is "the king" whatever the fukk that means. my point is that while you can make the claim that he is the greatest singer in the history of popular music, he doesn't rate with ray charles as a musician. i also believe charles' ability to crossover into other genres is incomparable. he is pretty much responsible for bringing country music into widespread popularity with modern sounds in country and western music volumes 1 and 2. not saying elvis couldn't or didn't crossover as well with great success, just that his doing so didn't pull an entire category of music into the mainstream.

toss in that it was done by a black dude in what was still a very segregated/racist society, makes it an even bigger feat.

we are in agreement in one area. chuck Dis a racist POS and liberal apologists like Bsmack should be stood against a wall and shot for being hypocrits.
