Elvis, I couldn't afford to see your "Spinning Wheel" tour in NYC in 1986 but I wrote to you care of your hotel and you mailed back an autograph. Never forgot that! Also ran into you on the street in New Orleans three years ago and you were nice enough to take a selfie with me. Iggy, you look fantastic! Long may you rock, gents!
I missed that tour as well. I had many chances to see him in the 1980s and always blew them off for one reason or another . 2 of my friends saw him New Years Eve 1980 at the Palladium in NY !
Jim, thanks for your music, it changed my life,, at the Eastown Theater, in Detroit, i was a 16 year old kid, sitting on the floor in front of the stage, you did a stage Dive and landed next to me, and crawled up to me and looked into my face, That was one of the Greatest moments in my life, i am 67 years old now, i tell people this story today, and they look at me like i am full of shit, My Best to you Jim, I am Glad that you are still around, you changed my life that Night Man, Cousin Figel
I love to see to musicians have such an easy time talking so long to each other. Elvis is such an encyclopedia of Rock and Roll history and influence. R& B Jazz, straight forward Rock, Motown. Southern Rock etc.
How cool Elvis hit tower records in San Francisco and grabbed a Bay area free paper. How cool he describe my home town super well. For the people wanting to hear Iggy say more. He's quite a thinker. Toured a festival in Australia with him.. a super nice guy. Nice to hear more from Elvis. Cheers
I commend you for allowing your guests to not only answer your specific questions but also not interrupting the conversations between the two of them. Cool stuff!
Anyone else re Listening and writing down the bands and artists? I love listening to the bands which shaped a artist, then re Listening to the Artist. It's like hearing the symphony of his or her's musical Art palette...
Can we just have iggy and elvis chatting and they both ask each other the questions? Or no questions. Just them drinking chatting getting plastered for 5 hours, I’d watch that That would be bloody awesome
Love both of these guys . A great insight. Elvis is a musicologist , ditto Iggy . Iggy Pops BBC 6 special on his friend David Bowie the year he passed was the best radio show I've ever heard . Just love his music life smarts . And when you talk passion , well that's Elvis Costello , God bless 'em both ...
Back in the early 1980's Costello and the Attractions played in Washington DC. A buddy of mine ran into them at a bar after the show and he ended up driving them back to their hotel. Elvis was obsessed with the "Fuzzy Dice" hanging off my friend's rear view mirror.
I'm a transplant from London , and San Francisco was the first place I lived . I also loved the late hours , the free newspapers , and laid back attitudes . It was as if all my needs had suddenly been met at once . What a shame SF turned into Planet Yuppie
I went to see Elvis in Brighton in 1977 I think at the Roxy..I was a 14 year old punk boy ready to gob at anyone who went on stage...John Cooper Clarke was his his warm up and excellent...Elvis came on and I was all prepared to spit and pogo...the opposite happened. I spent nearly two hours enthralled by the man and his music, as did we all. It was almost dreamlike and he was utterly charming to us kids..Probably the best concert that I ever went to at that time...A few weeks later, the Buzzcocks were on the same stage and Pete Shelley said if one of yous flob on us we're off. Two minutes later he was running off stage covered in spit and the set smashed up. Just goes to show that charm and beautiful music wins over teen savages
If you even thought it was OK to spit at anyone, at and on any level, you needed to have a word with your parents. If you still do that's not merely ignorant but pure evil.
@@theart8039 what like all the celebs now doing jail time, or dead, because manipulating, grooming, teens, who were actually children, for sex, was considered OK? Arguably 'spitting' could well have caused more damage, disability, early death.
Elvis toured with his band back then listening to American radio and said about how often the same songs would play: "I guess that's why they call them frequencies" Thanks to the guy down below for not interrupting the way many hosts would and when he does-he steers the conversation in a great new direction! THE TUBES was the band Iggy couldn't remember. 45:03 Why doesn't each write a bunch of songs with the other in mind and have him sing that song THEN: Release THAT album! IGGY GOES ELVIS AND POP GOES COSTELLO
Elvis and Iggy are such great storytellers - they can take stock i-view questions into some layered and rich places. Their memories brought back a lot of my own of those times. Grazie mille guys ♥
"In rock and roll five years is a generation" someone should put Elvis and Iggy in a monthly conversation where they talk about a favorite record... and once a year it has to be one from THIS year ;)
Rolling Stone! Thank you for this vid! Two great artists together for a candid and enjoyable conversation. I've always been a huge 'Iggy' fan and this was simply great. Thanks, again.
Thank you for this conversation. Such a joy to listen to being a child of the 70’s and Detroit. Iggy had such an influence on the 70’s club seen in Detroit that I never really understood while experiencing it. Elvis was my guy to aspire to late 70’s and into the 80’s, such great songs. I would play the rock clubs in the early 80’s solo guitar as singer/songwriter opening or between sets of what was considered punk or new wave bands at the time. Good thing I stayed in college.
@@michaelcelani8325 Well I took it more from the Apocalypse Now angle wherein Kurtz was once viewed as a fantastic leader but had gone over the edge and did not want to comply with standard procedure and chose to isolate and fight the war his way, with his vision. I felt like Iggy was drawing a similar parallel -- the record companies trying to get him to make something that sounded more like a "Hit" record I suppose and Iggy did not want that but rather the song that he envisioned at some point early on.
Since he was there, he could’ve been helpful. I know that these guys both had long careers, but you can’t know everything about all music. He could have said, and Elvis, what album was that? Then said the same to Iggy Pop, or at least held them up, because I don’t know what albums they’re talking about. I understand that you might, but if you have a moderator, isn’t it to clarify things for the audience?
There were a couple of points where he came in during a pause and directed the conversation to the other guy, and I thought it was interesting that he encouraged EC and IP to talk about each others' work. But you're right, they'd go on and be awesome for hours unattended.
Elvis has his own (excellent) talk show with musicians in Britain (watch it on youtube). So he already knows how to handle awkward pauses and keep the conversation flowing.
Iggy was a great son who was super close to his parents. Over and over he talks so lovingly of them. Iggy was a great showman, but as he says "I'm just a regular guy." Iggy used to live with the Cockettes.
43.49........ The band you were talking about Iggy........ was 'The Tubes' and they were fantastic, I got to meet them and they were also very nice people.
I had the pleasure of seeing both these gentlemen while on tour. Elvis Costello and the Attractions (backed up by The Battered Wives) in Edmonton at the Jubilee Auditorium in 1978, and Iggy Pop with the Pretenders in 1987, again in Edmonton.
Thanks for bringing back memories of some great shows. I saw Iggy in 1977 at the Oriental Theatre in Milwaukee. That same year I saw Elvis at Milwaukee's Electric Ballroom. I've been a fan ever since. Thanks again.
@45:55 It strikes when Elvis Costello uses the word joy to describe Iggy's performance on the BBC during the Post Pop Depression tour. I saw Iggy perform on that tour at the Greek Theater in LA in 2016. I'm not a religious person but the experience of that show was pure joy, it was like church to me but it was the religion of Iggy Pop and Iggy's fans, like me. Including seeing the Stooges twice, out of too many concerts for me to recount, I've experienced to well over 100 over nearly 40 years, if I could ever see again or relive a concert that's the one.
Two heroes of mine, talking to each other. Not bad. Elvis' loquacious self-importance is mitigated by moments of revelation, honesty, something visceral, which he finally addresses directly near the end of the interview. It makes his pretension tolerable, has always done so.
@@qualaup Back in the day? Most definitely. Nowadays, it’s probably a situation of once a speedfreak, always a speedfreak... He’s still got that energy, although he probably simply brings it up with a “cuppa”. Iggy’s still got the slow steady composure of an old junky, and I’m not talking shit; it’s just an observation. You can see both of these great men’s past drug dalliances animated on their faces and in their personalities. They’re both still alive, so we can look back and laugh and learn. Not the same story for so many greats, but thank god for the longevity of both these geniuses! Keith Richards and Pete Townsend too!
@@scott7521 Yeah, probably so. But laying off cocaine and heroin might have something to do with it too. A pile of money a show dog can't jump over doesn't hurt, though.😆
@@Revolution1117 I guess I didn't realize or appreciate the musical transition from 1960s thereafter and its importance now, from a historical perspective. Having witnessed, and being part of the rock to punk to new wave scenes was special and for this I am thankful. Each transition was fresh and I suppose I took it for granted back then. Not now. These days, I am so glad to have been there.
Great observation at 19:00 or so about great recordings that have severe limitations. That’s immediately what I was thinking listening to Pump it up tonight. Killer song and you just want to tear down the walls. It leaves you wanting in a way that’s indescribable. The magic is in the space.
I don't know if Iggy really painted his playlist on the wall at Richard's . . .but he definitely did it at 688, located on Spring Street in Atlanta. White type, black wall. it was there for years.
Great piece Rolling Stone. Bringing artists out and giving them the opportunity to speak for themselves, in their own contexts, own environments, Covid has brought the best out of Rolling Stone, the return of content. Lets catch up.
IF you are a Stooges Fan and live in the Queens NY area: The first time they played in NY was Summer of 1969 at the Singer Bowl which was the concert area that was built for the World's Fair in 1964/65. They played with the MC-5. (with MC-5 as the FIRST BILLED on the ads) Can you even IMAGINE ? I was only in 2nd Grade , and in the 'burbs so I could not make it. LOL . I can only wonder - how many people were that aware in 1969 that the Stooges even existed ? Mind blowing.
I took a chance on elvis costello SPIKE on cassete W/O computer. And iggy pop BRICK BY BRICK on cassete. No google just a hope and a prayer. Best risk reward dynamic ever. Both on artists on my dads advice. Changed my life.
..and you look exactly like someone who's only "contribution" to a discussion would be centered around their appearance. Best of luck in your attempt at becoming math club Glenn Danzig, though.
Had to pause this after the beginning to note that Elvis mentioned a LOT of places that I've been, being from that part of California. Elvis, I'm pretty sure you know: the SFBA loves you beyond all reason, Sir.
Saw that first show at the Old Waldorf and then a year or so later in San Jose. As I remember it for the SF show he played just rhythm guitar but in San Jose he played amazing lead guitar.
@@389383 In the years that followed circa 78-80 we went on to see him several times at the Warfield; several times at the Greek (once in the first row!); even down to Santa Cruz Civic. My dream was to run into him at the late, lamented Village Music in Mill Valley where he was known to shop when in the Bay Area -- alas , never happened.
Iggy's generosity and character knows no limits... letting this Costello hog the interview when the guy really should be showing a lot more reverence. Iggy's smile talking about big pints in the curry house made my day. Long live the kind James Newell Osterberg Jr!
Why did they cut it off? Why don't they just keep going like a Joe Rogan podcast until it reaches it's mutually agreed natural ending point? This is the internet! Rolling Stone are such dinosaurs they still treat it like it is TV and they have "limited air time." WTF. And they're not fooling anyone by getting a "young whipper snapper" to "host the show" as they don't even realise they don't need a "host" in the first place (as was painfully evident here). Kudos to the kid for keeping his interruptions to the minimum, although it was already distracting to see him looking down at his list of questions and anxiously looking for a pause in the conversation to destroy the flow with his superfluous mandated interruptions to justify his existence to his Brontosaurus Boss at RS HQ. Actually, he did a very good job, in that he was almost not there at all.
I think it's all because this was going to be a part of the magazine, so they had to keep it short and moderated to fit in all the conversations, along with the album reviews and other stuff. They're a magazine company, and the only reason they have a RUclips channel is to lure you to their website or to get you to subscribe to the 'zine. I also don't think they care too much about being up to the times so much as they care about keeping their numbers up. It's a business after all. Besides, this was never supposed to be like a podcast; it's just the bait to hook you into their stuff.
OMG! I am going to listen to this 3 or 4 x just to get a quarter of the references, and I listened to them back in the day! Soooo G r e a t!! The interviewer did perfect work! Shut up and let them Talk! Thank you dude!
I was traveling Tennesse and landed in Memphis and then went to Nashville for the weekend, then went back to Memphis to do the whole Elvis Presley and Beale st tour. I found out that while in Memphis Elvis Costello was playing at one of the oldest theaters in Memphis or perhaps Tennesse. I paid like $400 for 2 tickets which got me like 3rd or 4th row. The usher took us to our seats and the show started and we prepared ourselves for the Costello experience. Well we were taking photo’s and then I was shooting a video of the opening performance. At this time an usher informed us we couldn’t film video of his show but could take pictures. Ok... this sent me thru the roof cause no concert ever, ever, that I have attended does this. I have STP, Pearl Jam, even Sir Elton John and many more major, MAJOR Artists/Bands on video and it’s never been a problem, like NEVER... when you pay for premium seats for shows, often VIP. As an Artist/musician/Band, you have to expect people will have cameras, camcorders, and cellphones. It is an honor for people to care and like you and your music and you should be grateful anyone is interested in you/your music period. Especially at the end of your career and life... period... This is how people/musicians/bands get brought back from the dead and help other be aware of your music and that you still have it going on, shared via multimedia platforms. Needless to say, I told the usher that wouldn’t be a problem cause this wasn’t sounding like what I had expected anyways and were outta here. So we’re standing outside the theater decided which bar to go to and 4 other couples came out as well and asked us where we were going next cause he sounded like shit and they’d rather hang out with us we seemed like more fun.... We were like: LMAOROTFF!!!!! So we took everyone to Wet Willies and had a blast.... Drunk on Beale St and we all had the best time... So ELVIS COSTELLO I WANT MY $400.00 dollars back you HAS BEEN... YOU SUCK!!!!!
These guys behave at home exactly as I expected...Elvis never puts down his guitar and Iggy never puts on a shirt
That is chirt enough 🤌
And Iggy never puts on a front !
Elvis, I couldn't afford to see your "Spinning Wheel" tour in NYC in 1986 but I wrote to you care of your hotel and you mailed back an autograph. Never forgot that! Also ran into you on the street in New Orleans three years ago and you were nice enough to take a selfie with me. Iggy, you look fantastic! Long may you rock, gents!
Two Rock Icons at the same time !!! It's all part of my ROCK - N - ROLL Fantasy !!!!!!!
I missed that tour as well. I had many chances to see him in the 1980s and always blew them off for one reason or another . 2 of my friends saw him New Years Eve 1980 at the Palladium in NY !
What a great podcast. Elvis and Iggy appreciating each other.
Two icons chatting with one another. Perfection.
The duo you never knew you needed!! Love these two.💚💚
So glad these guys are still around. Two of my favs, for entirely different reasons.
Agree for entirely different reasons

That sounds like Elvis. I bet he put a fuzzy dice reference into one of his songs.
That first story was wonderful -- I'm from SF and know the Old Waldorf so well (and the music shop in Marin). Iggy is so sweet and kind.

The band Iggy was referring to @ 43:43 was the Tubes...Fee Waybill, Prarie Prince ,Vince Welnick ,etc...

@@stevecoscia I think you're probably right. Poor kids can't relate...only ask stock questions.
@@Revolution1117 I guess I didn't realize or appreciate the musical transition from 1960s thereafter and its importance now, from a historical perspective. Having witnessed, and being part of the rock to punk to new wave scenes was special and for this I am thankful. Each transition was fresh and I suppose I took it for granted back then. Not now. These days, I am so glad to have been there.
OMG.. I could listen to these 2 for days. Not as a fan, but as a human being. Teacher to student.
Wise to actual immature.
Great observation at 19:00 or so about great recordings that have severe limitations. That’s immediately what I was thinking listening to Pump it up tonight. Killer song and you just want to tear down the walls. It leaves you wanting in a way that’s indescribable. The magic is in the space.
Iggy you are the man, legend beyond words and Elvis is awesome also!!
Never thought it would be these two having a chat... RS or anywhere else...1
" Candy" is a great song! I saw Iggy perform it with that girl from the B-52's on The Tonight Show I believe.
I saw Iggy at the Waldorf, also saw DEVO there and Cyndi Lauper. And a whole bunch of other great bands as well. Great venue.
Great era for music in the Bay Area.
If That's Elvis short version of first meeting Iggy, how long is the long one?
He's never shied away from hanging a tale -- especially one starring himself.
He is A .....McMannus.....
After All.....
you arent impressed that he remembered all the details of a meet that happened over 40 years ago?
this is unbelievable! hanging out with EC and Iggy
Watching the Detectives is my fav off that record, happy to know why now!
Thanks, Andy
I don't know if Iggy really painted his playlist on the wall at Richard's . . .but he definitely did it at 688, located on Spring Street in Atlanta. White type, black wall. it was there for years.
Great piece Rolling Stone. Bringing artists out and giving them the opportunity to speak for themselves, in their own contexts, own environments, Covid has brought the best out of Rolling Stone, the return of content. Lets catch up.
you mean they stopped lecturing everybody about politics?
Its nice to see that Tom from my space landed on his feet.
Honestly my two favorite music heroes from the 1970s.
IF you are a Stooges Fan and live in the Queens NY area: The first time they played in NY was Summer of 1969 at the Singer Bowl which was the concert area that was built for the World's Fair in 1964/65. They played with the MC-5. (with MC-5 as the FIRST BILLED on the ads) Can you even IMAGINE ? I was only in 2nd Grade , and in the 'burbs so I could not make it. LOL . I can only wonder - how many people were that aware in 1969 that the Stooges even existed ? Mind blowing.
I took a chance on elvis costello SPIKE on cassete W/O computer. And iggy pop BRICK BY BRICK on cassete. No google just a hope and a prayer. Best risk reward dynamic ever. Both on artists on my dads advice. Changed my life.
Epic interview
Iggy is a National treasure!
Iggy's looking like he spent the last 25 years in the Black Lodge.
Where’s Laura Palmer?
This post deserves x10 likes.
..and you look exactly like someone who's only "contribution" to a discussion would be centered around their appearance. Best of luck in your attempt at becoming math club Glenn Danzig, though.
@@ryanchristensen5266 while I don't give a shit what people look like, I can appreciate a good diss. Good one.
Jeezus, guys, it’s just a joke.
I named my African grey parrot after Iggy 16 years ago & hes still kicking 😄
I love parrots but i have cats,so it's no go. My neighboor had a huge ara,the beast had some 50 years
Just like the real Iggy lol
What's its name?
@@Requiredfields2 i think the name was Loro.i could be wrong,it's some 20 years ago
@@anfrankogezamartincic1161 Ok great. I meant the African grey but thanks.
Had to pause this after the beginning to note that Elvis mentioned a LOT of places that I've been, being from that part of California.
Elvis, I'm pretty sure you know: the SFBA loves you beyond all reason, Sir.
Saw that first show at the Old Waldorf and then a year or so later in San Jose. As I remember it for the SF show he played just rhythm guitar but in San Jose he played amazing lead guitar.
@@389383 In the years that followed circa 78-80 we went on to see him several times at the Warfield; several times at the Greek (once in the first row!); even down to Santa Cruz Civic. My dream was to run into him at the late, lamented Village Music in Mill Valley where he was known to shop when in the Bay Area -- alas , never happened.
Love the way he pronounced “MAH-rin” County. Two of my favorite artists and to see them rattle on about the behind-the-scenes, a treasure.
@@susanklein7448 I lived in Mill Valley for a couple of years in late 70's and I missed him too! Village Music was such a cool record store.
@@389383 Yes, a total treasure and a fun place to browse and hang.
Iggy's generosity and character knows no limits... letting this Costello hog the interview when the guy really should be showing a lot more reverence. Iggy's smile talking about big pints in the curry house made my day. Long live the kind James Newell Osterberg Jr!
Why did they cut it off? Why don't they just keep going like a Joe Rogan podcast until it reaches it's mutually agreed natural ending point? This is the internet! Rolling Stone are such dinosaurs they still treat it like it is TV and they have "limited air time." WTF. And they're not fooling anyone by getting a "young whipper snapper" to "host the show" as they don't even realise they don't need a "host" in the first place (as was painfully evident here).
Kudos to the kid for keeping his interruptions to the minimum, although it was already distracting to see him looking down at his list of questions and anxiously looking for a pause in the conversation to destroy the flow with his superfluous mandated interruptions to justify his existence to his Brontosaurus Boss at RS HQ. Actually, he did a very good job, in that he was almost not there at all.
I think it's all because this was going to be a part of the magazine, so they had to keep it short and moderated to fit in all the conversations, along with the album reviews and other stuff. They're a magazine company, and the only reason they have a RUclips channel is to lure you to their website or to get you to subscribe to the 'zine. I also don't think they care too much about being up to the times so much as they care about keeping their numbers up. It's a business after all. Besides, this was never supposed to be like a podcast; it's just the bait to hook you into their stuff.
OMG! I am going to listen to this 3 or 4 x just to get a quarter of the references, and I listened to them back in the day! Soooo G r e a t!!
The interviewer did perfect work! Shut up and let them Talk! Thank you dude!
My heroes
I was traveling Tennesse and landed in Memphis and then went to Nashville for the weekend, then went back to Memphis to do the whole Elvis Presley and Beale st tour. I found out that while in Memphis Elvis Costello was playing at one of the oldest theaters in Memphis or perhaps Tennesse. I paid like $400 for 2 tickets which got me like 3rd or 4th row. The usher took us to our seats and the show started and we prepared ourselves for the Costello experience. Well we were taking photo’s and then I was shooting a video of the opening performance. At this time an usher informed us we couldn’t film video of his show but could take pictures.
Ok... this sent me thru the roof cause no concert ever, ever, that I have attended does this. I have STP, Pearl Jam, even Sir Elton John and many more major, MAJOR Artists/Bands on video and it’s never been a problem, like NEVER...
when you pay for premium seats for shows, often VIP. As an Artist/musician/Band, you have to expect people will have cameras, camcorders, and cellphones. It is an honor for people to care and like you and your music and you should be grateful anyone is interested in you/your music period. Especially at the end of your career and life... period...
This is how people/musicians/bands get brought back from the dead and help other be aware of your music and that you still have it going on, shared via multimedia platforms.
Needless to say, I told the usher that wouldn’t be a problem cause this wasn’t sounding like what I had expected anyways and were outta here. So we’re standing outside the theater decided which bar to go to and 4 other couples came out as well and asked us where we were going next cause he sounded like shit and they’d rather hang out with us we seemed like more fun....
We were like: LMAOROTFF!!!!! So we took everyone to Wet Willies and had a blast.... Drunk on Beale St and we all had the best time... So ELVIS COSTELLO I WANT MY $400.00 dollars back you HAS BEEN... YOU SUCK!!!!!
