<quoted text>Brian was gay I never said he wasn't. That was his own business and he didn't push it on others. John may of got stoned and one time when in Spain had a brief fling with Brian I don't know that for a fact.John loved women he had his share before Yoko.Chapman was deranged not a true Beatle fan no need to keep bringing him up we all know he was a loser.Everybody knows Chapman gunned Lennon down because he wanted to be famous like John.

The Beatles best overall albums:
"Help"
"Rubber Soul"
"Revolver"
"Sargent Pepper"
"The White Album"
"Abbey Road"
The rest had scattered moments of excellent music but weaker.
I think you cut Elvis short because a lot of Beatle fans do.
The man has a massive catalog of brilliant music, Bubba.
Elvis is so misunderstood by the general public at large.
But it's because he kept changing as he went on.
His best stuff wasn't always the hits, you know.
You would have to listen to it from the beginning to the end.
I mean, I do like The Beatles and other great rock legends...
Elvis was simply too amazing of an artist because he was sublime.
I've played him for 35 years and still find it fresh and exciting.
That is next to impossible for most artists to do.
Elvis will always be the best with me.
He's many different artists rolled into one. The man was a genius.

<quoted text>Ok Octo yes Elvis was smart to change and not get stuck in A rut.The Bee Gees had to change too just like the Beatles did. Their early stuff was catchy pop tunes but they changed and expiermented to get different sounds. Elvis with an orchestra was good it helped his songs sound fuller. He was sharp until he got sick and pushed himself too hard. I suppose he was just trying to please his fans.I've never been a fan of elvis but he was exciting to watch live I didn't care much for what few movies I saw him in.I think he could of made an action adventure flick ok.Maybe used his martial arts.

"King Creole" (1958) is the only Elvis movie you would have to see.
Elvis and the entire cast were excellent in it.
It has a great bluesy New Orleans soundtrack also.
It kind of gives you an idea what a great actor he could've became.
It's in black and white but it was his personal favorite role.
I think Elvis could've restarted his movie career in the eighties.
I know he wanted to play a bad ass in an action picture.
I like those old Charles Bronson action flicks.
My wife controls most of the television which is why I'm on here.
Women programing, dance shows....not my thing.

The Beatles have outsold Elvis in the UK.
That is a fact.
Latest data as of June 2012:
http://www.digitalspy.co.uk/music/news/a38545...
The Beatles are at No.1, Elvis is No.2, Paul McCartney is No.11.
John Lennon doesn't even figure in the Top 60.

It is certainly not an Elvis that I would want to see.
Now they want to make sappy movies about bad Elvis impersonators?
It's a joke but there is very little I can do about it.
Sony is another complete mess.
They went almost gold with "An Afternoon In The Garden"
And they turn around and release "A Prince From Another Planet" ??
I already have that stuff plus the excellent bootleg DVD.
I would still want to see a blues CD of alternate takes and mixes.
I would buy it.

Tom Jones sounded really good at the Queen's concert last month.
He has to be 75 or 76 years old.
Charles Bronson was in "Kid Galahad" with Elvis.
Elvis played a boxer.
It is a standard early 60's Elvis film but it is one of his best.

You're being quite unfair to Sony/BMG.
The new Prince set will present the two recorded shows in superior sound quality - both original albums had truly awful sound.
As for the footage, be thankful it is being released officially - not everyone has the luxury of having access to it.
Like all of the other Elvis albums, the two MSG shows needed to be re-released.
Side note - there's a huge billboard of Elvis in Times Square here in New York now. At least 200 x 100 feet - massive. Featuring a pic of Elvis from MSG in '72. Not a single pic of Wacko Jacko in sight!

<quoted text>I agree Tom Jone's voice still sounded pretty good for an old guy. Never saw Kid Galahad but it sounds interesting I never knew Elvis did a flick with Bronson. I'd like to see it.
