My uncle knew Elvis when he worked at MGM now Sony Studios in Culver City, California. Showed us an autograph of Elvis he got. He said he was a cool dude. Always saw him and the guys goofing around outside the recording studio with squirt guns.
I bet when Elvis first heard about Alice Cooper, David Bowie, et al, he was thinking: "And they thought I was 'outrageous'! I've got nothing on these guys!"
Interesting info 🤔 Who are you and why would you say that? Being an Elvis fan myself I would love to be a fly on the wall and follow him for a day or 2 ;-)
Very few knew Elvis was a 9th degree ( dan) black belt so was quite skilled . There is also an Elvis martial arts patch it’s extremely hard to earn and very few get it.
Extremely good point-don't get to big to be closed in to the world. Part of Elvis isolation is that the Colonel did not want Elvis in public to prevent him from being overexposed, and keep the mystique going.
He's misinterpreting Elvis' motives. He was so proud of the x-rays because they demonstrated how good he had become at karate. Karate was a HUGE part of his life --- an enormous interest. And most people who practice it never have a chance to apply it in a real-life situation --- they only spar or engage in competitions where they aren't supposed to injure their opponent. So he had a rare opportunity to apply it outside the dojo, and he apparently was very effective.
A good story, but it does not represent who Elvis was at all. Alice is describing 5 minutes he spent in the company of an absolute legend, it was only 5 minutes. Elvis after a concert was probably in party mode and most likely just having fun with Alice.
I’m sure it was more than 5 minutes and he is not portraying himself as an expert on Elvis. There are plenty of stories over the years from people who met Elvis and while perhaps charmed, found him to be a little odd, eccentric or call it what you will. Elvis’s social experiences were waaay different than the average person’s. This is a guy who grew up very poor in The South and then literally secluded himself there, surrounding himself with a bunch of perpetual adolescents. Elvis was also not really well traveled in the way other wealthy people often are. Sure, he was in the army in Germany for a couple of years, had a place in BelAir when he made movies and concert toured city to city without leaving his hotel. Pretty much anywhere he went, he was surrounded by the same group of people and did not interact with many outside of the world he made for himself, which included drugs. I’m not bad mouthing Elvis because I’ve been a big fan for 55 years but for me, these are just facts and please understand it is just another point of view.
Elvis Presley earned movie studio's $ 2.1 Billion, his record sales earned over $800 Million including $27 Million in 2017.... 40 years after his death, he earned $1 Million per concert, and his estate earned $10 Million in 2020.
Alice almost died of drugs.wife left him and he straightened up real quick.He looked half dead when you see the pictures. He's lucky he didn't have everyone around him doing the same thing.
The Beatles despite being BIG survivied stardom and fame. Ringo Said that it was because they had each other to cope with the pressure, Elvis was by himself.
Steve Martin told a similar story. When he first met Elvis he said "Wanna see my guns?" And Steve said "yeah!" So Elvis took out three guns, took all the bullets out and gave the guns to Steve. Lol
You can tell the difference when he tells this story to a British and American audience. In this clip the Americans are laughing and saying wow in completely inappropriate times during the story. When he is telling it to a UK audience they are actually listening.
How dare these people talk while the great Alice Cooper tells his story about meeting Elvis Presley!? They must be crazy! ''He had his own elevator''- too much man!
When youtube start recommend thousands of videos of people talking about their meeting with Elvis... I feel like most of them are lying. C'mon, how much time could spend the biggest rockstar in the world meeting people in only 20 years of career?
Liza Minnelli tells the same exact story as Alice. Liza said Elvis burst out of his bedroom doing karate on everyone. She also mentioned Elvis dropped Alice on the floor and had his boot in Alice's neck
Elvis smart man an got out of entertainment. Alone time or early retirement. He was tired of the spot lights trouble it brought him. For a normal life. Mabee he faked his death. Think about it.
....I do believe he DID just that !! ....if ANYBODY had ALL THE TOOLS & HELP to pull it off, it was " E " ....{ The fake ass Col. Parker had him over a barrel and the only way out was " death "..TO THIS DAY { 42 years later, Elvis' life insurance policy has NOT been cashed out !! Why, because it's against the law . I saw him when I was 11 at SAHARA TAHOE {10/13/74 } He was THE SHIT !!
Bob Joyce is filmed at Graceland in door with his family. I don't understand why he be there if he wasn't invited. His son Matt even said he realized who his dad was watching Elvis come back on T.V. one day. Alot of other things are said too.
Accept Elvis is still alive even at 86 years old Witness Protection you can do a foia request through the FBI and finding out exactly when he retired and everything from the FBI
Elvis didn't do parties nor did he have the skills required to perform the stunt Cooper is referring to in his little story which he has been dining out on for many years.
Elvis has been gone 45 years and he's still King.
Listen here… Elvis was still cool even when he gained weight… Elvis Presley the G.O.A.T
What a sad life Elvis had the way Alice Cooper describes it. However, i will be an Elvis fan till the day i die.
@drright10 We Elvis Fans know that - but yeah your right ;-)
@drright10 Elvis straight up said it was his most prized possession. Listen carefully.
drright10 Dude. He said that Elvis told him that. Pay attention.
My uncle knew Elvis when he worked at MGM now Sony Studios in Culver City, California. Showed us an autograph of Elvis he got. He said he was a cool dude. Always saw him and the guys goofing around outside the recording studio with squirt guns.
Any other stories he mentioned. We'd love to hear them.
Elvis was a good storyteller and great at winding people up. He had a fantastic sense of humour.
I bet when Elvis first heard about Alice Cooper, David Bowie, et al, he was thinking: "And they thought I was 'outrageous'! I've got nothing on these guys!"
Just warms my heart knowing he had a sense of humor. And he did, as he showed in a few clips. Right on
Happy 75th Birthday Alice Cooper. 😍
If only there was i time machine id go see elvis
There's no story about Elvis which isn't cool!! Man I wish I had meet that dude.May he rest in peace.
ME TOO!
mk 2017 sorry man...Greatest voice ive heard but he wasnt that cool in reality.
@@tomlewis5542 You got any proof?
Interesting info 🤔 Who are you and why would you say that? Being an Elvis fan myself I would love to be a fly on the wall and follow him for a day or 2 ;-)
No story told by Alice Cooper ISN"T cool. :)
Alice, Elvis was sill cool when he was overweight 😎
He actually said this story was in the early 70s before EP got overweight...
Try understanding what was said. Alice clearly said he met Elvis before he got fat.
@@johnclaba1457 “this is when Elvis was Elvis. He wasn’t Fat Elvis, he was cool Elvis” I understand perfectly what he said. Thanks though. 😉
@@johnclaba1457 um sounds to me like YOU weren't listening smh.............
@@orgonkothewildlyuntamed6301 I was listening Try understanding English.
Very few knew Elvis was a 9th degree ( dan) black belt so was quite skilled . There is also an Elvis martial arts patch it’s extremely hard to earn and very few get it.
Yep and my karate instructor actually was taught by Ed parker himself. Someone Elvis intermingled with frequently from my understanding
Alice Cooper has always been a great storyteller. He's also a Fabulous DJ on the radio. Very talented.
One of the greatest rock n roll stories I ever heard.
IT'S HELLARIOUS... ' JUST WOUND HIM...'
Interesting comment by Cooper at the end. It's amazing Elvis lasted as long as he did.
Seems like a really down to earth guy, Alice Cooper.
Ferry Nice persoon indeed,love him🌹
@@howardlovecraft750, That is true... His father was an Evangelist in The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints.
And Alice Cooper with wife are very strong christians as well.
Half way through the story he calls “how you doing” to someone…… AC is the best. Could listen to him all day
He says it to Josh Kennedy of The Black Moods. He's so nice to up and coming bands.
It ended sad. But Elvis lived a life. 10 men couldn’t even dream of living EVER LASTING FAME.
It ended sad, but Elvis lived a life 10 men couldn't even dream of living with ever-lasting fame.*
I’m certainly not one of those ten guys.
Elvis was a man in a cage.
Think Elvis would disagree with you if he was alive today.
His life was full of hopes and dreams, he was engaged and about to get married again, and he was really excited about the future!!!!!!!!
why would anyone like to live the life Elvis did?
Did you not pay attention to what A. C. said?
Elvis will always be coolest! Alice Cooper is from Detroit and that makes him extra cool! Win/win!
All the people in the world that watched Elvis every move , an no one has ever told that story.
As only Alice could tell it.
What a story!
Extremely good point-don't get to big to be closed in to the world. Part of Elvis isolation is that the Colonel did not want Elvis in public to prevent him from being overexposed, and keep the mystique going.
The colonel prevented Elvis from being even waaay more rich and famous by not allowing Elvis to perform anywhere but the U.S. and Canada.
@@siddokis2945 and who is to blame for that?
Don't kid yourself -- Elvis isolated himself.
He's misinterpreting Elvis' motives. He was so proud of the x-rays because they demonstrated how good he had become at karate. Karate was a HUGE part of his life --- an enormous interest. And most people who practice it never have a chance to apply it in a real-life situation --- they only spar or engage in competitions where they aren't supposed to injure their opponent. So he had a rare opportunity to apply it outside the dojo, and he apparently was very effective.
No, Alice conveyed everything you just said.
A good story, but it does not represent who Elvis was at all. Alice is describing 5 minutes he spent in the company of an absolute legend, it was only 5 minutes. Elvis after a concert was probably in party mode and most likely just having fun with Alice.
Hard to say. I imagine Elvis's later years were a bit warped.
I’m sure it was more than 5 minutes and he is not portraying himself as an expert on Elvis. There are plenty of stories over the years from people who met Elvis and while perhaps charmed, found him to be a little odd, eccentric or call it what you will.

Alice Cooper. I saw him when he was doing the "gallows" at a 3 day rock festival in Rockingham, N.C. Great party!
wow, love that story ! And Alice Cooper also was a cool guy ! Wish i was a star for just a day and hanged out with them !
^^Truth^^ When you can't leave or go anywhere it's prison.
Elvis Presley earned movie studio's $ 2.1 Billion, his record sales earned over $800 Million including $27 Million in 2017.... 40 years after his death, he earned $1 Million per concert, and his estate earned $10 Million in 2020.
With few exceptions, most of hs movies sucked and he said so too. They were a waste of his valuable career.
Haha He said so never get that big
Alice is a really good and smart man!💗💗💗💗
He will lay you in a bed of nails😁
Chubby Checker, Liza, Lovelace, and Cooper in the same elevator.
Well that is THE complete mix.
''He had his own elevator''. That cracked me up.
Alice almost died of drugs.wife left him and he straightened up real quick.He looked half dead when you see the pictures. He's lucky he didn't have everyone around him doing the same thing.
That was a good Elvis impersonation Alice did.
What Alice said is so true! That is the reason I never became a super star!
Elvis was way bigger than Michael Jackson ,different levels
I like his stories on Keith moon. He's met a lot of ppl in in youth.
Elvis was like every other southern man. He was bragging about kicking butt. 😂😂😂😂
I knew Joe Esposito and Red West , that fight happened. That kid playing the drum sticks got on my nerves.
The Beatles despite being BIG survivied stardom and fame. Ringo Said that it was because they had each other to cope with the pressure, Elvis was by himself.
Elvis the best and the king.
Steve Martin told a similar story. When he first met Elvis he said "Wanna see my guns?" And Steve said "yeah!" So Elvis took out three guns, took all the bullets out and gave the guns to Steve. Lol
I can hear Sheryl in the background.
Wow! Alice Cooper a sage? Who knew, right?
Insightful man
You can tell the difference when he tells this story to a British and American audience. In this clip the Americans are laughing and saying wow in completely inappropriate times during the story. When he is telling it to a UK audience they are actually listening.
Interesting but plausible take on Elvis’s demise. One that I haven’t considered before.
How dare these people talk while the great Alice Cooper tells his story about meeting Elvis Presley!? They must be crazy! ''He had his own elevator''- too much man!
Alice in real life is the opposite of his stage persona.
Cool story.
I still prefer fat Elvis than skinny Alice cooper
Stupid comment....what tf is your point.
Interesting
Elvis...
Fuck i love the king
Funny he tells the girl next to him: don't ever get that big. Anyone even know who she is?
One-Eyed Doll
Funny, he mentions Michael Jackson, who married EP's daughter.
Its hard to understand everything. Someone can transcribe what he say plz??
TCB⚡

Where and when was this taken?
Last year in Hollywood
whisky a go go
❤️👑🇺🇾
Wait, You were in the elevator with Linda Lovelace?? DUDE!
No true story because he’s told the same story multiple times
Wonder if he had any moves for Linda Lovelace?
She probably took one look at Elvis's cock and laughed.
Alice is a Christian
Alice did his best not to get that big. 🤭
TOO NOISY IN THE BACK GROUND!!!!
Elvis sounds pretty nutty in this story. Maybe he was high and Cooper is nice enough not to say so.
The people who were there that day say he's full of shit.
And you just happen to know who was with Alice and Elvis that day
@@HippieDomWhy yes I do. Marty Lacker for one.

Bull shit Elvis is dead sadely rip. I suppose the earth is flat two stupid comments.
and I bet you think the earth is flat too.
Bob Joyce is filmed at Graceland in door with his family. I don't understand why he be there if he wasn't invited. His son Matt even said he realized who his dad was watching Elvis come back on T.V. one day. Alot of other things are said too.
All planets are round.

Accept that you are an idiot.
Seems Elvis had quite the ego!
Elvis didn't do parties nor did he have the skills required to perform the stunt Cooper is referring to in his little story which he has been dining out on for many years.
Could you be more full of bullshit, loser?
Screw Alice Cooper 😻⚡️⚡️👑
Super interesting
