@@magorzatapiotrowska9739 maybe you were being sarcastic, but still, I mean over his whole career, Elton has been very nice to Bernie. Always mentioning him whenever he won awards and saying how important Bernie was to him. Maybe at this time Elton was more arrogant and putting more of his success purely down to himself. But as he’s got older he’s certainly always appreciated and acknowledged the importance of Bernie in his life and career. And that’s what’s important really. Bernie seems to be the only person in eltons life that has been a constant and been with him through thick and thin. They are absolute brothers from what I see.
@@Drenwickification I’m sure Bernie knew the difference between ‘Reg’ and Elton and simply tolerated it. An incredible lyricist. One of my favourites is Tell Me When The Whistle Blows also from Tumbleweed. Ballad of a Well know Gun.
Both Bernie and Elton why are handsome and they still are okay let's get this straight ladies and gentlemen I feel I've always been a Elton love of my friend Jennifer she love Benny Bernie but Elton I've been loving him 47 years loving and listening to him and to me so beautiful inside and out no he did not have any work done on his beautiful face he's 72 now and I swear he looks only in his maybe forties or fifties he's still a handsome man I hope he reads this cuz I love you Matt L Jones turn elt on Elton the stupid machine I'm going to throw it out the window I have to go my battery is running low I've been Elton benjen I got to go I'm still standing
I think Bernie is awesome but I love Elton John's voice. I really love it when he says "Oh goodie goodie gumdrops I got four albums yippie." Made me laugh and his jacket is epic xD
This was a time period when these two were just great and producing amazing music. Wish it could have lasted just a little bit longer but all good things have to come to an end.
They needed each other because without Bernie taupin there is no Elton John and without Elton John there is no Bernie taupin because Elton John can’t write the words and Bernie taupin can’t write the music
I think both Elton and Bernie or genius there were good team let's put it that way let's not have the Bernie fans against Elton fans or the Elton fans against Bernie fans Elton John and Bernie taupin great team that's it I'm still standing
Elton is the recording star, not Bernie. Please try to keep in mind that Elton does most of the work, even Bernie alluded to that. He has to write the music, sing it, & play it.
No. Elton is not THE genius. What's genius is the synergistic creation of their coalesence. One would never have flourished without the other. Divinely intervened I'm sure. And that fact is sorely overlooked although they did show it in the movie they never really revealed the significance of that.
You simply JUST don't here Interviews like this anymore...where the artists/writers are down to earth-sincere and innocent and truthful.-It's from a time lost forgotten.
It would have been nice to hear more of Bernie's thoughts and opinions since he did write much of what Elton sings. Too bad Elton repeatedly cut him off.
@@nigelguliver3625 thank you for correcting me Nigel you're right it is 7 to 1 because your cruise 87 yeah they would look way different I stand corrected thanks nige I'm still standing
@@mikeypie24 It was certainly a great album. In some sense it did rely more on a band configuration than so much orchestral accompaniment like Madman. Honky Chateau features a lot of percussive, chordal piano in the forefront of arrangements, which contributes a feel like live performance. It's a pounding piano record for much of the material - a strong point of the album.
Why is elton saying "I've written, I've written" don't you mean "we've written?" He's always been a bit of a Queen eh? Bernie's a class act. Then again it's elton s voice and soulful renditions and music to Bernie's lyrics that rocketed them to superstardem.

I think he was in love with him. Unrequanted. I think this is implied in the movie. It may be why their music was so amazing. Elton voice and intonation back then was razor sharp and crystal clear.
I dont think Elton took the stage at all. (In my best imitation of the proper you know, English). I think raaather, it was great to heah from both. You want to learn or hearn more of Bernie, well, by jove, he's got an Instagram account, podcasts like crazy. By God, if you You Tubed this, Google "Bernie Taupin"!! Just type in his name sweatiee! Jolly ho.
You should know Bernie nad Elton They are true brothers and best friends becouse Elton had and has only Bernie. Elton did not have true brothers or sisters he is and Was very shy emotional boy so he met a lot of bad person on His live. Elton Has good heart
elton says I not WE...over and over...elton tends to be way nicer to bernie when he is not present but when they are together elton takes over and cuts off bernie and can be rude to him...
Dean Martin OR, and this is sometimes the case with people, Elton being shy and nervous just goes into overdrive chatter. I do that in interviews with my wife and I REALLY don't mean to. I am just nervous and afraid that I will not get all of my points across so I just talk and talk.....My wife Venus is good at cutting me off as well and is a more relaxed speaker so it all works out.
100% agree! Elton loves Bernie! Almost like brothers! They've said so themselves. Obviously what Elton said here is unintentional. Elton is quite shy of a man behind those shades.
Elton seems like he 's done very well even apart from Bernie. He can play fantastic improvised melodies without singing. He can sing and play any song without a problem. He gives life to anybody's words.
@@rop888 Bernie cowrote We Built This City...there are about 4 people who are credited with the lyrics. Bernie is Elton's sole lyricist on most of Elton's songs and on all of Elton's hit songs... (excluding The Lion King songs).

Oh I love Elton's young voice. Singing and speaking. Smooth and clear.
Still great 👍
I love Elton and Bernie's voice, it's so soft.
It's really cool seeing such a candid interview of them during that time. Haven't seen this before
Bernie's face is like: Why was I invited to this interview anyway?
He was shunted out I feit

No Bernie then there is no Elton.
Elton has said as much, hasn't he?
@@thanksfernuthin Of course. Stands repeating though.

It was a match made in heaven. The both of them together.

I feel bad for Bernie trying to get a word in..lol

Elton IS the star- lets be real! bernie is/was a brilliant lyricist but elton is the genius, nice to see these unexpected uploads!!!!.
burt 1 hardly a “genius” but I know what you mean. However, if Bernie hadn’t met Elton, would Elton have been a “star”?
And if Elton didn't bring Bernie's words to life with his music and voice, would anyone have heard of Bernie?

Bernie’s voice hasn’t changed a bit!
This is probably why they don't do interviews together.
"we 've got four albums in the charts" Bernie wrote half of them ! Let him speak Elton. He is good at english !
Bernie and Elton genius 😍😍😍😍😍😍💋💋💋💋❤️❤️❤️🎶🎶🎶🎶🎶🎶🎶🎶🎶🎶🎶🎶🎶🎶🎶🎶🎶🎶🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
Oh goody goody gumdrops 😂😂😂 that tickled me hearing that coming from Elton john’s mouth 😂😂😂
heh heh ... that interviewer had himself some 'cool grass' before this interview ..... XD

i wanted to hear Bernie Taupin speak, any links?
Did you watch parts 1 and 2? He may have spoken on those 2 parts, can't remember now.
LMAO 🤣

astranine it’s the coke ,,
astranine you hear it in the songs, that's why he's the lyricist.
Randi Addams he wasn't coking quite yet at this point.
Bernie actually has a much bigger ego than Elton. Bernie also has a truckload more pretentiousness than Elton.
hahaha
What date is this from?
1971
I think they said 1987 I can't swear to it but I think they said 87

Eileen Ryan 1971
very early 1972 ... probably January of '72

When He says I’ve written he is referring to the music. Music=Elton Lyrics=Bernie
I kept waiting for EJ to play 'Star' to watch Bernie but he doesn't play it in this clip as the description says. Where can I find that?
Can anybody help I’m looking for parts 1 & 2 ?

OMG Bernie was so handsome ! More than Jamie Bell who portrays him in Rocketman. I wonder how Elton who is gay, did not fall in love with him.
hahahahahahaha yeah I thought the same

@Raura Chiang it's a very intimate relationship not in the sexual sense
He did; and Bernie kindly, but Firmly, let Elton know that he's hetero ... happened in 1968
