I was at an outdoor John Fogerty concert a few months ago here in 2022 and I was very amazed at how well preserved this fellow is. The show was great, they totally nailed it!
@@tinfoilhatter No, Proud Mary is the masterpiece....lots of other good ones, but that song is shear magic....a working man singing about the best job he ever had......
He’s the happiest he has been in 15 + yrs. It because Warner is treating him with such respect. BUT his past is about to haunt him again he gets gets sued for sounding like Creedence on Old Man Down The Road. Unbelievable!!!
But none of his new sidemen can’t get that Creedence sound at all , so I don’t blame the other guys for putting themselves first , every post Creedence album was nowhere near Creedence music
@@moongazer5073 You got it Gazer. The same that I have thought, even if he gets more musicians he never gets the CCR sound. Doug, Stu, Tom, and of course John they were Creedence Clearwater Revival. Without them, the sound is different. I love John, but I also love the others. CCR live forever!
John’s children got the sound right and then some when I saw them this year. His brother and the other CCR members were two faced to backstab him at their height of success out of jealousy.
Damn! Never heard this song, Porterville; and it hits hard. Got some early psych rock in there, and the confident in John’s singing is palpable. So good, thanks.
We all know you were the force, talent, man behind the band. And it was magical, unforgettable, genius. You talk a good lick, but never truly forgave those knuckleheads and they own you to this day. Consequently, your music, creativity, writing and heart still suffer, are not the same. Love the one you're with, including what you have and who you are.
He’s in an awesome place today. He has been since the mid nineties, when he fell in love with someone he adores who manages his career and given him 3 kids who have all performed with him. He draws big crowds to his concerts.
I can tell John is angry, the poor man was given the hardest time by his band mates and crooked record company, they stole 10/15 golden years from this most amazing and very kind and gentleman. I am very happy that those bad times are over for John and his is enjoying his life, his family and his music.
❤️❤️❤️amo a este hombre desde q lo escuché cantar ..q voz w música tan bonita y el bello hermoso guapetón 😢😢😢😢John Fogerty 💞💞❤️💞💞💞💞❤️❤️💞💞❤️❤️❤️❤️💞❤️❤️❤️💞❤️❤️❤️❤️💞💞
se ve muy atractivo a sus 40 años, con mentón grande y fuerte. Tiene una voz pausada sin que le gane el higado puede hablar de todo! Me llama la atención lo que dice de Tom. Que iba y venía a la banda y al final fueron un trío de nuevo..... Si eso es verdad, la historia debería reconocerlo y dejar de culpar a John de la ruptura de Creedence. 7:48 ♥
Pretty much the same way that Mark Knoffler WAS Dire Straights, Brian Wilson WAS the Beach Boys and Tom Petty (more or less) was Tom Petty and the Heartbrakers, John Fogerty ( lead singer, lead guitarist, arranger, producer, manager and -most important -WRITER ...) I mean, talk about THE goose that laid the golden egg...and the dopes around him (including his talent-less brother) will always be remembered as ( as far as THIS Creedence fan is concerned) TOTAL A-HOLES!!! ROCK on, John!
Excuse me Burke, but if you are a musician you should know that Tom was a good if not a great rhythm guitarist. I myself being a guitar player know and acknowledge that Tom Fogerty was part of the sound of CCR. Just listen to Mardi Gras and you can notice the absence of Tom's sound. At least that's my opinion. So Tom was not like you said "talent-less", he was good.
Fogerty comes across as down to earth, sensible and smart. The interviewer at times sounds as though he was perhaps slightly impaired. Not too swift, and no good follow up questions. I liked John’s recollection of that Frank Zappa show way back when. Very funny.
Listen to his first solo its great sounds awesome its actually really good I don't no why he hates and thinks it's no good I heard it even sold ok wasn't the massive hits of ccr but it did all right I wish he put out another one
John and his band mates made great music together...The band mates still play the songs and people love it, John still, thank the Lord, plays the songs and people love it....anything else other then them playing the music we love is none of our business and their problems....we love your music guys get over yourself s... none of you are invited to our house for dinner......
Great interview from the archives. It's funny that even though John was very pissed off with the rest of the CCR band, you can still see him smiling about playing the simple wedding gigs etc. Shame his band mates turned into arseholes, the record company were arseholes before this. You really see the frustration towards the end of the interview.
John é mais do que ferfeito .Imagine uma pessoa ser cortada do que mais sabe e gosta de fazer.Eles tinham que ser punidos proibidos de tocar as musicas de john e ainda usar o nome ccr se ate o nome foi john que deu.Continuam fazendo shows(pequenos) com o mesmo nome.A justica de la é como a de ca tambem falha.Tambem concordo de john nao querer saber mais deles .Amo john amo familia fogerty fpolis br.
"Why didn't creedence play any psychedelic music?" - Interviewer "Have you listened to their albums? Ramble Tamble, Gloomy, Rude Awakening etc..." -Me "I didn't like it, it was boring especially frank zappa, he made me mad" - John Fogerty
@@davidkirkham6497 Mate, I know more about the situation than you know about watching the sun rise. Period. You are just a blind fan boy who has swallowed the Fogerty Kool aid. You do it everywhere. No excuses, no grovelling much from the cool aid crew.

Yeah the Rhythm section couldn’t sing there way out of a wet paper bag and their song writing was crap. If not for John Fogerty no one would have a clue who there were. And they scorch John behind his back selling music rights to Saul, record label owner and Johns number one enemy.
@Rob Castelli George said he wrote it unconsciously to He So Fine . George bought the rights to He So Fine in 1976. My Sweet Lord was based on the gospel track OH Happy Day.

He said it himself; no drugs and no drinking has only done him good! 😮😊
(And his memory is impeccable!)
I just got to see him in Uppsala. Very important to me. Great to see his family involved.
Such amazing talent !!
Love Fogerty :)
great songwriter!
Proud Mary is one of the great songs of the century...no doubt.
@@joemarshall4226 and all-the-other-ones, arguably are-even-better, mate!
i think john's really the one who wrote 'the mighty quinn', but he doesn't need anymore credits-that-way, anyway, man

I agree! 👍✌
hey! will-find! but how-much-longer-have-we-got, right?
Well lets just say it was pretty damn good
Best album no question
I star to listen his song and since l love it always.
This is about the most lucid I've seen JF in an interview at this time of his life.
does he do a lotta these 'at this time of his life' then?
Yeah, he kinda did. He had just released “centerfield” after a long hiatus. So he was doing a lot of interviews during this time period.
He’s the happiest he has been in 15 + yrs. It because Warner is treating him with such respect.
BUT his past is about to haunt him again he gets gets sued for sounding like Creedence on Old Man Down The Road. Unbelievable!!!
I read his autobiography. Those sidemen in CCR won the lottery and screwed over the guy who gave them their ticket.
But none of his new sidemen can’t get that Creedence sound at all , so I don’t blame the other guys for putting themselves first , every post Creedence album was nowhere near Creedence music
@@moongazer5073 You got it Gazer. The same that I have thought, even if he gets more musicians he never gets the CCR sound. Doug, Stu, Tom, and of course John they were Creedence Clearwater Revival. Without them, the sound is different. I love John, but I also love the others. CCR live forever!
"We all contribute now. We are not just a side band."
John’s children got the sound right and then some when I saw them this year. His brother and the other CCR members were two faced to backstab him at their height of success out of jealousy.
John Fogerty é vida!!!
So damn well spoken. Incredible. What a man. What a beautiful person.
October 1967: before "Proud Mary," and even before "Suzie Q", there was "Porterville", the very first Creedence 45.
Damn! Never heard this song, Porterville; and it hits hard. Got some early psych rock in there, and the confident in John’s singing is palpable. So good, thanks.
@@dreamsR4real The B-side is "Call It Pretending", which is about THE most R&B sound Creedence ever did!
We all know you were the force, talent, man behind the band. And it was magical, unforgettable, genius. You talk a good lick, but never truly forgave those knuckleheads and they own you to this day. Consequently, your music, creativity, writing and heart still suffer, are not the same. Love the one you're with, including what you have and who you are.
"they own you to this day" ... Nonsense. Watch a recent interview with him.
He’s in an awesome place today. He has been since the mid nineties, when he fell in love with someone he adores who manages his career and given him 3 kids who have all performed with him. He draws big crowds to his concerts.
John, you looked just like Steve Martin here bud lol. Wow. You could both pass for brothers, without a doubt.
You know I catch the next train, back to where I live, oh Lord! Glad to see this story and John's life moved on.
JC, I agree with you on Franco Zappa. Noise, like Strawinsky
I can tell John is angry, the poor man was given the hardest time by his band mates and crooked record company, they stole 10/15 golden years from this most amazing and very kind and gentleman.

Id be pretty bitter too, but I have to say Doug and Stu were great musicians, but other than that they were Fwits
So funny. The best rock voice ever saying: I sang little (in the beginning)

He seems a lot less bitter here than he was later. He played with Cook and Clifford at reunions in 83 and 88.

John ainda é um homem bonito apesar da sua idade( 2023) imagina qdo era mais novo.Acho ele muito bonito
40 aninhos nesta entrevista - pretty good!
Not sure I've ever seen an interview where they let people wander across the shot behind the subject. Somebody was asleep at the switch.
Man, Han Solo was a great frontmam for CCR!
no, wait: he's the captain-of-the-*firefly*~! no, wait, it was *serenity*,
'firefly' was the name of the series!

I dunno about Knopfler. Without Illsley's street edge, Knopfler got really schmaltzy and soft.

Not too swift, and no good follow up questions.

CCR Definitely one of the greatest that came out of the 1960s
Q hermosooooo bellooooo guapetonnnnnnn.😢😢😢😢😢John Fogerty ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️ FOREVER mi grande ídolo
If you look down the line, most of the "flower power" bands had no more than 3 hits.
real talk, you're right
Listen to his first solo its great sounds awesome its actually really good I don't no why he hates and thinks it's no good I heard it even sold ok wasn't the massive hits of ccr but it did all right I wish he put out another one
I enjoyed his first solo album as well. All of those classic country music covers got me interested in country music.
Great interviewer.....
Wow
Fogerty's like "I don't like those dope head bands!"
newsflash: dope isn't-just-for-dopes anymore! it's *cool*~!
true story, sorta-kinda, ha ha~

Lol

If Steve Martin, Harrison Ford & Michael Landon had a baby somehow….
Same trail ?
John’s a class act those guys were dead to him and he doesn’t sound spiteful towards them
He seriously looks like Dennis Quaid here.
squaid! yes!! thank you! i [only subconsciously] knew it, too...!! it was buggin' me, for years'n'years! remarkable, really~!
I'm happy to hear John loathes Frank Zappa too
yep.
Frank Zappa possessed musical talent. For that he is to be rightly loathed!
@@bobbyhamblen2338 Bob
I also walked out of Frank Zappa in Sydney circa 1974 - arrogant + boring,
And no one ever heard him play CCR songs ever again! lol

He must like flannel shirts.
It was mainly Stu Cook and his jelous brother that sold out to the pig manager or Fantazy Records, not the drummer at all.
Stu Cook's dad was a crooked lawyer...

I tell ya the dutched pinched the name COUNTDOWN from the aussie TV series that ran 1974 - 1987. Fact !
if stockton was a singer
Hmmnn. Interesting. Not at the point of trash talking his old bandmates here, that came later. John is an interesting fellow to be sure.
Yeah I notice that. Still friendly and respectful in 1985. But alot of shit was about to happen in the coming years, as noted in his book
Both of these commentators have know idea what their talking about! You don’t know what came about later & the ramifications that developed!

I thought he was Steve Martin for a sec
The one doing the interview is a pre-MTV Adam Curry.

Curry (Born in 1964) was a kid when CCR was in its heyday and clearly he didn't do his research very well. JF treated him with kid gloves.
Seems like an ungracious jerk. What a contrast to JF.
He was terrible.
kinda looks like David Lee Roth
The interviewer is terrible
Yeah the Rhythm section couldn’t sing there way out of a wet paper bag and their song writing was crap.
If not for John Fogerty no one would have a clue who there were.
And they scorch John behind his back selling music rights to Saul, record label owner and Johns number one enemy.
Luv this dude, so talented but acts like it has to be perfect ... Petty like.
Imperfect songs do not get heard.
@@RideAcrossTheRiver not much, anyway, except, maybe-for-guys-like-*donovan*, (yeah! there's only ever-been-one!)

John got sued for plagiarizing his own song stating The Old Man Down the Road sounded like Run Through the Jungle. But it was thrown out of court.
@Rob Castelli George said he wrote it unconsciously to He So Fine . George bought the rights to He So Fine in 1976. My Sweet Lord was based on the gospel track OH Happy Day.
