R.I.P. Ric Ocasek, musical genius, dang, gone too soon
Aw, RIH Ric Ocazek 🙏😎💖
He truly was a genius of illustrious musical talent!
🤍
MiaSqueaky never ever die they live on forever. Benjamin’s spirit does and Ric’s. They live on period not just through music
MiaSqueaky, see my comment above. Ric was talented but a pretty unimpressive person often.
Heartfelt speech. Brandon gushing over The Cars is the same way I feel for The Killers. So happy he got to honor his heroes!
Brandon gets it.
Total class.Wow.
Agree 100%!
Completely true !
What a combination!!! From America 🇺🇸 to the world baby!!!!!!! Couldn’t be any other way! 🤷🏻♂️🇺🇸
Safe to say Brandon Flowers delivers ONE OF THE BEST.. if not the BEST EVER Rock and Roll Hall of Fame speech.I love The Cars.. when the first time I heard their music.. just like what Flowers said “You dont forget your first..” Much love from Manila,Philippines and more power to The Cars! 🇵🇭
We need more of this
Love how he dropped "misfit kid" into it.
I LOVE Brandon's emotion here. He is just holding back the tears!!!
Brandon wears a jacket that is a clear homage to Cars' "Panorama" album.I was born in 1981 as him, eveything he says makes so much sense to me that makes me cry. My life is deeply connected with the Cars' music,since the beginning.What a band.Thank u Ben,thank you Ric.And thank you Brandon for this touching speech
Cannot wait to see The Killers inducted one day!
Brandon Flowers is too precious for this world. I love how excited he looked. If only he knew I feel the same way about The Killers!
When I hear The Killers I feel 16 all over again. They are the only band from the last 30 years that I feel deserve to be enshrined in the HOF.
Several years ago I saw Brandon Flowers interviewed. He was asked what band he wishes he could have seen live. His answer: The Cars.
Best induction I’ve ever heard. Stunningly articulate!
Absolutely! What d'you think of this one? ruclips.net/video/uYLBP3B0uM0/видео.html
He’s a gifted lyricist, he knows how to work with words!
Brandon Flowers, the best frontman of this century.
RIP Ric Ocasek....another great musician has left us😢
The Cars finally being inducted is Just What I Needed 💙
It's a reaction to lo-oh-oh-oh-ove.
What kills me is Joan Jett got in before The Cars.
It's disgraceful they took so long to do it. I wish Benji could have been alive to be a part of it.
It's disgraceful they took so long to do it. I wish Benji could have been alive to be a part of it.
The Cars rocks! I wish Benjamin Orr was there!
Don't worry. He was.
я тоже, он заслуживает внимания! 🇸🇮🇸🇮🇸🇮2023г.
How cool are the Cars? Most winners are inducted by much older artists. These guys are between 60-73 years of age and were inducted by a guy less than half their age who's a current musician. Amazing.
The Cars were amazing. Elliot Easton most underrated guitar players, and Benjamin Orr!
everyone must have a memory connected to a song by the cars. what a gift.
To me it was almost every song.
I know I do
In 1984 You might think instantly became my favorite song.
Which song and which memory. More with them than any other group. Hands down.
Lots of The Cars songs are part of my life and memories, now it hurts to hear them since Ric and Ben are not with us plus family members and friends that are gone as well that loved to hear The Cars...
I am very sad tonight. Ric has left us. I know he and Ben are jamming together in heaven.
Ric Ocasek died on September 15th 2019 and you posted your message back in 2020.
Now you understand why he’s such an amazing lyricist! Listen to that speech! It had killers elements all through it! And Yes I love The Cars! I remember when heartbeat city was brand new And when Drive was in constant rotation on the radio! I still to this day think when Ric Ocasek walked above the pool water was simply Magic! Lastly there was no better individual to deliver such an iconic speech than Brandon Flowers! No other band has truly filled the void between then and now other than The Killers! They commence the side b of the soundtrack of our childhood! A tight fit rock n roll band who’s on another dimension compared to the what’s considered mainstream today!
Brandon Flowers is a class act. The Cars are one of the greatest bands of all time
Loved the Cars music,but they were horrible when i saw them Live.It was like watching Mannequins on stage,listening to a stereo.
@@johnrwalker53 when did you see them live
@@humanchannel7825 It was on the tour 'Let's Go' song.They have great songs,i love them,but was disappointed with the Mannequin presence they portrayed.Nothing said between songs.Oh well,was still Alot of women there
This guy got very good taste! I’ve seen him paying homage to Pet Shop Boys and now The Cars. Love you Brandon! And RIP Ric Ocasek!
Rest in Peace, Ric Ocasek. You shaped the soundtrack of my life and I will miss your music.
don't forget Ben Orr.
This was long overdue, and Flowers' enthusiasm has me beaming like Ric Ocasek.
Good choice in Brandon Flowers to induct them. Great speech!
Absolutely! What d'you think of this one? ruclips.net/video/uYLBP3B0uM0/видео.html
“Drive” had me crying uncontrollably at Live Aid. Fitting that a fan, Brandon, should pay tribute.
Drive is a classic.
I hope Benjamin Orr saw this from heaven❣️ 🤩. RIP Ric & Ben 😘
Probably the best induction speech I've ever heard. So from the heart and emotional. You can see how much he owes to this band. They were so freaking good.
I'm tearing up listening to it. I feel every word he says. The Cars made me through some of the toughest times when I wanted to give it all up. Thank you from the bottom of my heart.
Amen
A wonderful speech, from the heart, for a great band. RIP Ric
I hope the killers should be inducted into the Rock and roll Hall of Fame
The Killers is a great band...but for them to be included in the Hall of Fame they still need many years.
Absolutely! What d'you think of this one? ruclips.net/video/uYLBP3B0uM0/видео.html
Robbsön S - 101 It’s normally like for 25 years and up to be in Rock and roll hall of fame
Why??? They had one good album
@@stevedavis7451 I assume you're referring to Hot Fuss?! Most Killers fans will tell you Sams Town is better. I love Hot Fuss but Sams Town is one of my favorite albums of all time.
The Cars are so unique and so cool. So glad they finally made it. RIP Benjamin Orr.
RIP Mr. Ric Ocasek.
Well said, young man, well said. I saw the Cars, by accident, as the warm up band for Richie Blackmore's Rainbow, at Royal Oak Music Theater in 1978. They left such an impression on me that the Cars became a favorite band as Rainbow became an afterthought. Their sound was so new, so different, so unique, so cool. They defined the New Wave coming.
I wore out the grooves on my The Cars album 15 years before Brandon Flowers ever heard of them, but I dig The Killers too.
Geo B are you trying to brag or something?
@@leanmeangreenbeanmachine3347 Mmm, something.
I always thought Brandon sounded like the cars. This makes so much sense now
Ben Daniels when I first head the killers I knew that they were inspired by the cars
Damn that was a great heartfelt speech. Since Ben and then Rick were gone, things will never be the same 😢
2023Г.🙏😢🇸🇮🇸🇮🇸🇮
Legends. The Cars. Their music evoke strong emotions, a strange kind of melancholic joy. Love their music!
I saw The Cars open for Bob Seger many, many years ago. They were truly fantastic and almost overshadowed Seger. Thanks to them, that is one of the only concerts I remember who opened for whom. RIP Benjamin and now Ric. Thank you for your brilliance, talent, memories, and the fantastic music you've left behind. I am smiling through my tears. My youngest son is jealous of the music I grew up with and I am very proud that he, too, is a Cars fan.
You are literally a good Parent.
I want him to read me to sleep 😍😍😍
Really genuine and heartfelt speech. He did a great job honouring a legendary band!
I watch the Its All Mixed Up Video often. The smile on Ben Orr’s face at the end is beautiful.
👌👌🇸🇮
This is both great and sad. Ric had the band, the best friend, and the girl and lost them all and here he is with them (and Ben's images).
R,I,P Ric, you will be sadly missed! Brandon you gave such an eloquent and funny speech, love the Cars:: love the Killers::great video Cal Vid Thank You!! 🌺
RIP Ric Ocasek, you were a true original, and The Cars were one of the greatest bands of all time!
So cool. great band inducted by a Stud!
Brandon and The Cars. This is music history.
He’s adorable. It should not have taken 20 years to get the Cars inducted into the Hall.
Or Rush 40 years..H.O.F is a joke
Brandon 's induction speech was superb.
Tears... sure wish Ben would of been around for this.
я тоже. ОН ЭТОГО ЗАСЛУЖИВАЕТ! 😢
RIP Ben Orr and Ric Ocasek. Two of the greatest gifts music ever gave us. You are truly missed.
I love brandon flowers!!!!!!!
Their debut album was an unexpected and delightful shot in the arm to music back in the late 70's. And they proved to not be one hit wonders with Candy O and Panorama.
about f.....g time..good speech brandon
I wore the first Cars album out!!!. One of the best albums ever🙂
Greatest frontman the Famous Guy from Las Vegas Brandon Flowers from the Killers
Oh heartbeat city here we go. The cars, the best. R.I.P. Benjamin Orr and Ric Ocasek
Oh my beautiful Brandon!
David Robinson didn't seem to be enjoying himself at all. Maybe, he was just missing Ben, like the rest of us.
David's an introvert that's most comfortable behind the kit. He was just fine. He seems to be a really reflective guy. This a great recent article: www.theothercape.com/stories/2019/12/1/david-robinson
Awesome speech 100% agree with everything he said I have loved the Cars since the late 70's great band worthy of Hall of fame
The Cars were one of the top New Wave band and should have been included in the R&R Hall of Fame 25 years ago.
Finally! A truly iconic band that has undeniably earned its place in rock history.
Brandon is so freakin gorgeous 😍
R.I.P. Ben & Ric, back together playing music for eternity 🎸💔
What a touching speech. Congrats Cars!
I honor this young artist. This is a great induction speech. Thank you.
Nice speech!!
Brandon - You needed to include Dangerous Type, Let's Go, Bye Bye Love, Just a dream away, Drive, Strap me in, Shake it Up (one of their biggest hits)
And "Magic"
he’s so excited
Brilliant induction, well done Brandon!!
Loved the Cars since 1978 thank you.
Me too!
@@LordKenebutch Me three!
So proud of my baby Brandon!!
Brandon is so talented and an awesome front man himself. I really hope Brandon gets the chance to induct New Order into the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame whenever they get accepted. That would be so meaningful and plus Brandon's already good friends with Bernard Sumner.
Such a wonderful introduction to their induction. So deserving.
Ben Orr and Ric Ocasek.....gone.....major car wreck....their music will live forever!
ЭТО ТОЧНО! 2023Г👌👌🤞🇸🇮🇸🇮🇸🇮🇸🇮
That is GREAT speech!!
Wow, what an extraordinary induction speech !
Hellooo someone in July 2021?
I'm 51 years and have 13 years when I meet THE CARS music... UNTIL TODAY...
Just what I need it
The Killers will make it to the Hall of Fame also
Ric Ocasek went out badly. First, he wouldn't call out Elliot Easton's name during his HOF acceptance speech while he did all the other members of the band. The "Comments" were turned off on that RUclips video because fans were so ticked at him for doing that. (BTW - Elliot's speech was interesting, eloquent, humble, appreciative and graceful...and he did call out and credit ALL his bandmates for their success....Ric wouldn't know, he couldn't be bothered to listen instead talking to Flowers during Elliot's entire speech)
Then in his last years, Ocasek treats his beautiful, and much nicer of a person than him, wife terribly then dumps her after she stood by him for years when that wasn't an easy thing to do.
Unimpressive.
Ric was nervous plus it's obvious he may have been having memory issues.
ОН ВООБЩЕ, Я ТАК ПОНИМАЮ НЕМНОГО 💩.... ,ЗАВИСТЛИВЫЙ..НА ЛИЦЕ НАПИСАНО. ТЯЖЕЛЫЙ ЧЕЛОВЕК!
What a lovely tribute, and every word absolutely true.
Rest well, Ric and thanks for the sweet fucking rock.
R.I.P. Ric & Benjamin!!
*'Just what I need' is the time machine back to the 80's!!!*
🙏🏽😭
Like YES and Rush, this was a WAY overdue honor for a terrific band.
Now, King Crimson, Judas Priest, Thin Lizzy and Scorpions.
What a joke the Hall of Fame is, without those bands.
Agree. Rush best band ever to walk this planet. I am glad they got to induct "Yes"..
СОГЛАСНО НА ВСЕ 100%.2023г.🇸🇮🇸🇮🇸🇮
The Cars were such a wonderfully odd combination.
Job well done Brandon! We all thank you!!!
Rest In Peace Ric Ocasek 🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼🌹🙌🏼 LEGEND 🙌🏼
Poor Cars, it’s there introduction and all people are talking about is Brandon. 😅
From the killers Human to the Cars Drive ....love from Egypt
Oh Brandon flowers, too hot to handle xx
what a speech ! awesome !
Classy kid,couldn't have done a better induction speech.
Like Brandon, The Cars were my first. Cruising over to a friends house in my 69' Volkswagen beetle with my modified Pioneer stereo system in 1979 I was 17 yo and the song "Candy O" came over the air. INSTANTANEOUSLY I was hooked. I am 61 now and I still listen to The Cars almost everyday or at the very least every week. I just can't let the magic of their music go very long without hearing them. Every song has a memory for me during my journey into young adulthood and beyond. RIP Ric Ocasek and Ben Orr. Like the rest of the group I wish Ben could have been there to receive that award. For me Ben Orr IS The Cars and always will be. Very happy for Brandon Flowers being able to be the one to induct The Cars in the Rock and Roll HOF, what an honor! Congratulations to The Cars, millions of us love your music!!!
Rip Ric and Benjamin. Thanks
“You’re all saying it wrong”. Gold!!!
Shoot, I always thought it was O-KAY-sek all these years...my life is a lie...
Well, I have been a fan of the cars since they started and I have just now learned it is O-cass-ic. It reminds me of the teacher who asked little Jimmy how to spell 'radio'. Jimmy said 'R-A-D-E-O'. The teacher told him that was not right. Jimmy said 'It may not be right, but that's how I spell it.'
Descansa en PAZ RIC..tu musica siempre estara presente
After Ben... now Ric....r.i.p... but the cars songs still on my might...
Peace from Malaya fans..
I’ll be honest, I watched this video for Brandon Flowers.
fuck you
Burn in hell
@@Jules-cv3tq why dont you? And ring your barbeque sauce.
You're stupid bitch for treating the people who loved them angry.
Well check out The Cars! They are THE SHIT! but I do like Killers OK.
One of the GREATEST BANDS!!!!
Still soooo shy! What a precious human being
I remember the first time I heard “You’re all I’ve got tonight”…amazing
What a great soliloquy!!
