John was big here in Australia....I remember being in my early teens in the 80s and being introduced to his music, seeing this reminded me of how good his songs were.
What a distinctive voice--which is just as important as anything else in becoming a popular--or legendary singer.All the great ones could claim that quality.
I saw Johnny at the township auditorium not too many years ago ...It was on a whim that I went .. parked my car on the street & went to visit the 80s once more ...it felt good ..& cool ..yea I was smiling ..
Back in the 80's, I thought of John as a "poor man's Springsteen", but John is the real thing, and Springsteen's the poser. Top 5 American songwriter, and a string of classic albums as good as any.
Mr. John Mellencamp made the midwestern anthems of America. Nobody was cooler. Thank you!
yea he was something else .. anyone can see that ..
@@redskywalker3374 And really SOMEONE else. He destroyed himself (and his voice) with chain smoking, and just a sour bitter personality
Couldn’t agree more
Nobody IS cooler
He’s been called the simple man’s singer songwriter. But to say it better. He’s the simple minded man’s singer songwriter.
It’s always great to see the musicians that have played with him for years. Says something about loyalty.
Yep, in spite of all the abuse they had to take to hang onto their jobs, per "Mellencamp", by Paul Rees.
@@trade0714 I.love Johnthanku
And friendships
Pink houses, one of the best songs of all time.
I agree tells about small town america wish i could have seen him in his early days
@@kevinhaley6776I saw him in his early days - first time - 1986 - much better with his original band
John Mellencamp is a legend great music
Smoking isn’t too smart
@@SSNESS depends on your genetics really...
He’s one of my favorites. He’s such a badass singer and writer!!!! He tells stories!!!!
“peaceful world” we definitely need to hear that today
SCARECROW....Nothing more IMPORTANT
John's song, "I need a lover" is my personal favorite.
I'd say that's his best song
John was big here in Australia....I remember being in my early teens in the 80s and being introduced to his music, seeing this reminded me of how good his songs were.
He's magic
Me too😊
Have to say his voice is fantastic here. 🤘🏻🤘🏻
Smoking plastic
Love this dude’s music and moral conviction. Respect
I saw him in concert many years ago. Was fabulous!!!
Everything. John. Sang. Is. Just. Phenomenal. One. Of. A. Kind. Voice .
John has written so many great songs, he is a true legend.
he's the best.. as he ages I think his voice is very sexy ! thank you for continuing to share your talent with us
This is so great! Just part of the "musical web" of my life. Bravo Mr. Mellencamp!
What a great singer songwriter !! I’m from Indiana and am also a singer songwriter also one thing is about John he really put out the hits !! 👍👏👏👏😊🎤🎸🎸
John is always cool. Great songwriter and makes great conscious songs and albums
What an INCREDIBLE Talent Mellencamp is (and Howard too)
We love our John Mellencamp...Proud of him in Indiana...He's the best..Also love Howard Stern.
John mellencamp carved a unique musical career
What a great voice
America's best individual song writer by far 🇺🇸
Not Dylan? Mellencamp will tell you that
What a distinctive voice--which is just as important as anything else in becoming a popular--or legendary singer.All the great ones could claim that quality.
Grew up with all of your songs , you rock
Mr. cougar!
Great music. John is a true singer and writer. 🏴☠️
One of my favorite artists. This is Awesome.
The songs that most resonated with me and mirrored my life was A Little Night Dancin & Sugar Marie
Thank you Howard this is a nice escape. Mellencamp rocks
You could tell he had so much less enthusiasm about the older songs. Probably sang them a million times. What a voice.
Still sounds amazing. Wow 👍
You do know this was over 20 years ago🤣😉
This was filmed in 2001
Sadly, his voice is poor now. He can barely croak out his songs now.
I saw Johnny at the township auditorium not too many years ago ...It was on a whim that I went .. parked my car on the street & went to visit the 80s once more ...it felt good ..& cool ..yea I was smiling ..
His voice is soo good here. Wow.
Awesome! John sounds and looks great.
This was 20 years ago but he’s still got it
Fookin amazing
Saw John Mellencamp on the Scarecrow Tour 1985 with Heart opening band. Great show.
Do forget John had his first No 1 here in Australia. The song I want a Lover and we all down here wanted to be his Lover. 🎼❤️🇦🇺❤️🇺🇸🕺🏻💃🎸☘️
All great songs--I bought his albums without a thought.I remember "Pink Houses" on MTV non-stop(when they were watchable.)
My 1st record album purchase as a youngster was John Cougar American Fool 🤘🏻🤘🏻
Absolutely the best!!
Exactly what I️ need
Scarecrow very underrated album
Underrated it's a classic!!
It is definitely one of my favorite albums of all time!
It wasnt tho ! He finally received critical acclaim for that album
I think Scarcrow is his best effort and I saw that tour!!!
Love his voice!!! Worried about the smoking however! Hope he has a long life!!!
He’s amazing song writer, telling the stories of life as we see it.
Saw him a few years ago at the Greek Theatre and he was fantastic. Purchased a drumhead signed by him.
John...what a legend💚
Smoking and singing he is a legend done
John is an American treasure most unlikely rock star ever his own words!!
Agree
Pink Houses is such a good tune
Damn I could jam to this all night
One of the top wordsmiths EVER!!!
Mellencamp is soul, rock `n roll soul
I love the acoustic versions they are spot on. Some of my favorite versions of songs are on Howard stern.
JM's anthems are tattooed in the souls of every American that loves this country.
Jingoism is unbecoming. I appreciate my country and I love JCM.
hurts so good underrated
He sounds great!
Back when talent existed
So much love and memories
Truly an artist
Love his music.
Greatest songwriter ever
He sounds really good to me!
Where would we be without John mellencamp
These songs are fantastic....great voice
An American treasure… 👍🏻
Beautiful voice.
Along with Dylan and Springsteen, he tells the REAL story of America.
Don't forget Bob Seger
@@WhiteRussianBCSeger once was. But he became cheesy and mediocre in the 80s
And Tom Petty.
So good
Awesome... Thank you ♥️
Nothing to say,I lOVE it
Loved this!
This was so good
I think this is John’s most revealing of himself and his art of music interview
Yes,thank you 🎶🎶🎶🎶♥️
Whenever We Wanted is his best. Ive worn out the cd a couple times;-)
That was a good one I saw that tour.
An american classic singer/ songwriter. I want that sunburst guitar
John Mellencamp sings about the America that all the true patriots miss and long for..
They released Jack and Diane after Hurts So Good was huge. Hurts So Good was his first #1 . Pretty sure.
Oh yes 💯💯💯huge hit before JD and much more musically interesting
💕 his music 🤘🎸
Peaceful World is a great song.
Hey what do you know. The Rock And Roll Hall Of Fame put somebody in there that deserves it.
john's one of the only people that Howard let smoke in studio.
Love that voice 👍
Great stuff! Before John's voice was shot.
🌟 great voice
name 5 artist in the last 15 years that can hold a candle to this....
respect❤❤
LOVE J> MELLENCAMP TUNES
Ate up his music growing up.
Back in the 80's, I thought of John as a "poor man's Springsteen", but John is the real thing, and Springsteen's the poser. Top 5 American songwriter, and a string of classic albums as good as any.
Johnny Rebel Songs
True
He doesn't rock as Springsteen rocks
@@malcolmtoperoff1305 if you say but I Iike John's music much better here on my end but, both are good.
Springsteen is a Poser? Ok buddy
His autobiography is very good.🎼🎹🎸🥁
A good buddy of mine played for seven years for John. I have also met Mikey, Andy, Miriam, Jon G, Moe Z, and Dane.
Hitched 150 miles to see him and the Wilson sisters.
Amazing
Excellent
Howard: "I love talking TO great songwriters...." Notice he did say talking WITH. 70% Host talk (complete with interruptions) 30% Guest
Love him! So much talent and good looking too! Lol❤
They are great
I always hope he'll play, Aint Even Done with the Night, Music Hero of mine.
Wow fantastic Awesome
This is about to have me smoking. The rings.
