Their Father Ricky Nelson grew up on the TV Show... "The Adventures Of Ozzie And Harriet" with his older brother David. They were on the show and were favorites. Ricky grew up to be one on the first and biggest "Teen Idol" Stars with several hit songs and he often sang on the family TV show. He produced 25 albums between 1957 - 86. Look into Ricky Nelson,,,, start with "Travelin' Man"
Nelson is an American rock band founded by singer/songwriters Matthew and Gunnar Nelson (twin sons of Ricky Nelson and Kristin Nelson) Matthew and Gunnar also perform under the name of Ricky Nelson Remembered, as a tribute to their father. They are listed in the Guinness Book of World Records as the only family to reach number one record status in three successive generations (beginning with grandparents Ozzie and Harriet Nelson).
Yes, they are twins, and the Nelson men from that family all had "pretty" faces! lol Their dad, Ricky Nelson, also a musician/actor and son of the famous entertainment family of Ozzie & Harriet who also had their own family Radio and TV show "The Adventures of Ozzie and Harriet". That show began in 1944 and ended in 1966, spanning 14 seasons. After much success in his pop music career, Ricky Nelson died in a plane crash in 1985. He was 45 years old and his twin sons were 18. Thanks for another great reaction and analysis, JM! ✌💙✌
The whole After the Rain album is fantastic. They were so underrated and cast aside by the record company. They released a load of albums themselves. All are different and all are very good. Their uncle is Mark Harmon. They're his sister and Rick Nelson's twins. I love the acoustic guitars on it and also the solo. The boys were young here - 1990 so they were 22 or 23 at the time.
Nelson are sons of the talented Rick Nelson. They write all their songs and always perform live. Many good videos on TH-cam of them. Third generation of having a number one hit and in the Guinness book of records. Pretty amazing.
I'm SO excited that somebody has finally reacted to Nelson. Their ENTIRE album is fantastic. There's not a bad song on it. My personal favourite is a song called Everywhere I Go. If you type in Interlude/Everywhere I Go - it has a beautiful piano interlude at the beginning before the song.
ONE YEAR!.... It was on January 12th last year I first watched you react to Zeppelin, I was impressed so I subscribed as your number 481. You had only 38 videos. My first suggestion was done on the 14th. Chambers Brothers -"Time Has Come Today".... It "Melted Your Brain". Since then you have done a few hundred for my collection in your folder "JMBOY TV REACTIONS-My Tunes" and dozens of artist..."I'm Not Familiar With These Guys".. It has been a great time watching your progression learning about the awesome music many of your subs grew up with. I look forward to watching all the great songs in your future.... I have hundreds more, as I smile again Thanks for all the great content.. You're The Best
I smile because I grew up listening to their dad Ricky before they were born. These boys were very good but I'm not sure they ever reached the same level of stardom as their father did..... 25 albums says a lot about him and over 40 appearances in movies or TV shows
Hey there, cool to see you are liking the Nelson song "Love & Affection"! It's a great song, fabulous vocal harmonies is what I like about Nelson plus they DO know how to rock! They genuinely put their heart and soul into every song they play. Btw, yes they are twin brothers, the sons of Ricky Nelson a very famous singer & guitarist in the 50s through 70s and their grandparents were famous TV actors Ozzie and Harriet. Despite their famous family, they did not have an easy time breaking into the 80s rock scene because they were considered too lighthearted and not heavy enough compared to other hard rock bands. What I like about the Nelson twins is that they are very sincere with their songwriting and performances.The goatee look would have not been right for them at the time because part of their appeal (to women) is that they look Angelic like. They might as well have halos around them! Even today although their hair is shorter they still have these dazzling smiles and the same Angelic glow about them. I consider them to be rather brave to wear their hair that long and they often joke about looking like "hot Swedish girls" which other guys in metal bands made fun of them looking somewhat feminine. However if you watch their "After the Rain" video, you'll see a Native American influence regarding their looks and philosphy. They have a deeper meaning to how they portray themselves.
My son was a huge fan of the band. We took him to a couple of shows. The twins and all their band members were very talented. I recently came across an interview with Lindsey Parker interviewing them. It was an incredible interview! She's a music reporter and she gets the best interviews. I learned so much including a bit about the music industry from the interview. You have to realize Matthew and Gunnar grew up in the industry. Their mother's brother is Mark Harmon from the tv show NCIS. Their grandparents, dad and his brother were actors and performers. They even had Mama Cass babysit them. They were supposed to have been on the plane when it went down and killed their dad but he called them the night before and told them not to come but fly commercial so they stayed home. They are the reason that kids under age are able to perform in clubs with a parent present. They came out at the same time as the "hair" bands but they had been playing in the clubs for years so they weren't an overnight find or were made popular because of their family name. There so much more like why grunge became an overnight takeover. The interview is well worth listening! The keyboard player is Paul Mirkovich. He was the music director and keyboard player for Cher and Pink. He has been the music director and keyboard player for The Voice since it's first season. So if you have seen The Voice you have seen him. I gained a lot more respect for Gunnar and Matthew. Here's a link to the interview. One of the best I've listened to in a long time. th-cam.com/video/hHPJDIYio-M/w-d-xo.htmlsi=8Mk434V-9OXjTg6c There's a young guitar player that is going to be one of the best ever rock/blues guitar players ever. He's 14 yrs old and already had 3 songs hit #1 on the worldwide blues charts. My favorite song he plays live is Gary Moore's Parisienne Walkways. He doesn't sing on this one but hold on to your seat when you watch him play! th-cam.com/video/PMdqV4xfUe4/w-d-xo.htmlsi=-qsvBHhwwllSkTuP If you would rather see him sing and play guitar here's a video from a few nights ago. It's his cover of Stevie Ray Vaughn's The Sky is Crying th-cam.com/video/YhLBq9eBI40/w-d-xo.htmlsi=wQmeeZuR0XQxQWla If you want to watch one to see if he's worth reacting to, please do! I always have to keep reminding myself he's 14!
This album was great, I traveled to L.A. to see them live, and they were amazing, all of them! "After The Rain" is another good song.
What a great butt kicking song. Still love it. And respect to their dear departed father Ricky Nelson

The look was bold in the early 1990’s it was a billboard number one

They are identical twins and they’re beautiful

The 80s big long hair and ballads. The Nelson's are kids of Rikki Nelson.

"Feminine Look".....I smiled thinking most all of them did in those days trying to out do their parents from the 60's-70's.

Great song! These twins are the sons of Ricky Nelson who was on the show Ozzie and Harriet great show from the 60s
I met these two many years ago. Very sweet guys. I expected them to be somewhat stuck up growing up on television. Wasn’t the case at all.
