Elvis, I couldn't afford to see your "Spinning Wheel" tour in NYC in 1986 but I wrote to you care of your hotel and you mailed back an autograph. Never forgot that! Also ran into you on the street in New Orleans three years ago and you were nice enough to take a selfie with me. Iggy, you look fantastic! Long may you rock, gents!
Two Rock Icons at the same time !!! It's all part of my ROCK - N - ROLL Fantasy !!!!!!!
I missed that tour as well. I had many chances to see him in the 1980s and always blew them off for one reason or another . 2 of my friends saw him New Years Eve 1980 at the Palladium in NY !
Moderator did a good job of 'staying out of the way'. Hats off to him.
he shouldn't have been there at all. I don't want to see any snot nosed beta millennial who can't remember past 2000 interviewing these legends
@@califtom Calm down Tom
@@califtom He did manage to get Declan to shut up for a few....Costello is great but boy he can talk...
@@califtom totally agree
@@califtom plus, his mouth hanging open the whole time was dead grotty
The duo you never knew you needed!! Love these two.💚💚
What a great podcast. Elvis and Iggy appreciating each other.
Jim, thanks for your music, it changed my life,, at the Eastown Theater, in Detroit, i was a 16 year old kid, sitting on the floor in front of the stage, you did a stage Dive and landed next to me, and crawled up to me and looked into my face, That was one of the Greatest moments in my life, i am 67 years old now, i tell people this story today, and they look at me like i am full of shit, My Best to you Jim, I am Glad that you are still around, you changed my life that Night Man, Cousin Figel
Incredible story! We’re a Michigan band with a similar mindset at live shows! Check it out
These guys behave at home exactly as I expected...Elvis never puts down his guitar and Iggy never puts on a shirt
That is chirt enough 🤌
And Iggy never puts on a front !
Two icons chatting with one another. Perfection.
This Years Model is one of the greatest albums of all time
My Aim Is True and This Years Model are equal for me. Both great albums.
I really really like that one.

@@michaelcelani8325 Yeah, yeah, we get it; you hate Rolling Stone.
@@michaelcelani8325 this interview is great, but Rolling Stone is crap.
So glad these guys are still around. Two of my favs, for entirely different reasons.
Agree for entirely different reasons
I commend you for allowing your guests to not only answer your specific questions but also not interrupting the conversations between the two of them. Cool stuff!
I love to see to musicians have such an easy time talking so long to each other. Elvis is such an encyclopedia of Rock and Roll history and influence. R& B Jazz, straight forward Rock, Motown. Southern Rock etc.
How cool Elvis hit tower records in San Francisco and grabbed a Bay area free paper. How cool he describe my home town super well. For the people wanting to hear Iggy say more. He's quite a thinker. Toured a festival in Australia with him.. a super nice guy. Nice to hear more from Elvis. Cheers
Anyone else re Listening and writing down the bands and artists? I love listening to the bands which shaped a artist, then re Listening to the Artist. It's like hearing the symphony of his or her's musical Art palette...
How can you not adore these guys?
Love both of these guys...still here with us thankfully, still making real music
Post Pop Depression is a phenomenal album. Elvis's new album Hey Clockface is pretty good too.
I went to see Elvis in Brighton in 1977 I think at the Roxy..I was a 14 year old punk boy ready to gob at anyone who went on stage...John Cooper Clarke was his his warm up and excellent...Elvis came on and I was all prepared to spit and pogo...the opposite happened. I spent nearly two hours enthralled by the man and his music, as did we all. It was almost dreamlike and he was utterly charming to us kids..Probably the best concert that I ever went to at that time...A few weeks later, the Buzzcocks were on the same stage and Pete Shelley said if one of yous flob on us we're off. Two minutes later he was running off stage covered in spit and the set smashed up. Just goes to show that charm and beautiful music wins over teen savages
If you even thought it was OK to spit at anyone, at and on any level, you needed to have a word with your parents. If you still do that's not merely ignorant but pure evil.
@@Richard_L_Y Different times, different culture
@@theart8039 what like all the celebs now doing jail time, or dead, because manipulating, grooming, teens, who were actually children, for sex, was considered OK? Arguably 'spitting' could well have caused more damage, disability, early death.
Get off his case that's a beautiful story@@Richard_L_Y
Can we just have iggy and elvis chatting and they both ask each other the questions? Or no questions. Just them drinking chatting getting plastered for 5 hours, I’d watch that
That would be bloody awesome
Iggy did that with Tom Waits.
Kudos to Andy Greene for letting these two guys talk. Good call.
Free rider, Paycheck for nothing. Ever seen that before?
Love both of these guys . A great insight. Elvis is a musicologist , ditto Iggy . Iggy Pops BBC 6 special on his friend David Bowie the year he passed was the best radio show I've ever heard . Just love his music life smarts . And when you talk passion , well that's Elvis Costello , God bless 'em both ...
That first story was wonderful -- I'm from SF and know the Old Waldorf so well (and the music shop in Marin). Iggy is so sweet and kind.
I was lucky enough to be at Elvis's first show there.
I'm a transplant from London , and San Francisco was the first place I lived . I also loved the late hours , the free newspapers , and laid back attitudes . It was as if all my needs had suddenly been met at once . What a shame SF turned into Planet Yuppie
Ig is just wonderful.
Would love to go to a gig there sometime.
Back in the early 1980's Costello and the Attractions played in Washington DC. A buddy of mine ran into them at a bar after the show and he ended up driving them back to their hotel. Elvis was obsessed with the "Fuzzy Dice" hanging off my friend's rear view mirror.
That sounds like Elvis. I bet he put a fuzzy dice reference into one of his songs.
Legends! Iggy is The Godfather of Punk. Declan is one of THE best songwriters the UK has produced
"In rock and roll five years is a generation" someone should put Elvis and Iggy in a monthly conversation where they talk about a favorite record... and once a year it has to be one from THIS year ;)
Elvis toured with his band back then listening to American radio and said about how often the same songs would play: "I guess that's why they call them frequencies" Thanks to the guy down below for not interrupting the way many hosts would and when he does-he steers the conversation in a great new direction! THE TUBES was the band Iggy couldn't remember. 45:03 Why doesn't each write a bunch of songs with the other in mind and have him sing that song THEN: Release THAT album! IGGY GOES ELVIS AND POP GOES COSTELLO
Saw Elvis at The Sydney Opera House about 83 and Iggy at The Capitol the year before. Two greats. Such a pleasure to hear them chat.
Sooo much insight on the biz and "scene" of 70's to 90's. Great!
Without "Raw Power" and "MY Aim Is True" 90% of my record/CD collection would NOT exist!
Two of the coolest musicians in the world.
Iggy was a great son who was super close to his parents. Over and over he talks so lovingly of them. Iggy was a great showman, but as he says "I'm just a regular guy." Iggy used to live with the Cockettes.
It's real nice to see two of my favorite musicians respect and appreciate each other...ELVIS COSTELLO and IGGY POP.
The "Colonel Kurtz" analogy - says so much in so few words -- another reason I love Iggy.
I haave read " Heart of Darkness" several times...Love Joseph Conrad....but what is. "Colonel Kurtz analogy. ??
Xas. ?
@@michaelcelani8325 Well I took it more from the Apocalypse Now angle wherein Kurtz was once viewed as a fantastic leader but had gone over the edge and did not want to comply with standard procedure and chose to isolate and fight the war his way, with his vision. I felt like Iggy was drawing a similar parallel -- the record companies trying to get him to make something that sounded more like a "Hit" record I suppose and Iggy did not want that but rather the song that he envisioned at some point early on.
Elvis and Iggy are such great storytellers - they can take stock i-view questions into some layered and rich places. Their memories brought back a lot of my own of those times. Grazie mille guys ♥
24 years ago today, "Starting to Come to me" was released ... Thanks for all the Awesomeness for the past 40 years Declan...
Thank you, so very much. This was one of the most fun and interesting interviews , I’ve watched ever. Love it!
Iggy's so smiley and cheerful. I love it that he ain't trying to pose as a tough punk dude.
He quit doing that in the early 90s, I think. But I could be wrong.
@@teresathomley3703 yup, once he got rich 😆
@@scott7521 Yeah, probably so. But laying off cocaine and heroin might have something to do with it too. A pile of money a show dog can't jump over doesn't hurt, though.😆
The moderator looks like he's just realising he left the oven on
Or that he forgot to lock his bicycle.
@@Revolution1117 Or that he forgot to wipe.
@@Revolution1117 Or he's wishing he were born 30 years earlier.
@@stevecoscia I think you're probably right. Poor kids can't relate...only ask stock questions.
@@Revolution1117 I guess I didn't realize or appreciate the musical transition from 1960s thereafter and its importance now, from a historical perspective. Having witnessed, and being part of the rock to punk to new wave scenes was special and for this I am thankful. Each transition was fresh and I suppose I took it for granted back then. Not now. These days, I am so glad to have been there.
Tremendous! Love these guys...thanks, Rolling Stone. Nothing better than listening to EC and Iggy chat it up!
Thank you for this conversation. Such a joy to listen to being a child of the 70’s and Detroit. Iggy had such an influence on the 70’s club seen in Detroit that I never really understood while experiencing it. Elvis was my guy to aspire to late 70’s and into the 80’s, such great songs. I would play the rock clubs in the early 80’s solo guitar as singer/songwriter opening or between sets of what was considered punk or new wave bands at the time. Good thing I stayed in college.
Iggy Pop, the thinking man's thinking man.
brilliant, two great blokes with some marvellous stories
Elvis, always with a guitar. Adorable.
I could listen to these guys all day!
Oh this is amazing! I couldn't imagine them chatting together. Love you EC!
Love the easy camaraderie. Iggy so often belies his wild image. A lovely guy.
Rolling Stone! Thank you for this vid! Two great artists together for a candid and enjoyable conversation. I've always been a huge 'Iggy' fan and this was simply great. Thanks, again.
Iggy, one of the Best! Just listened to the Stooges Raw Power today!
Just getting into them on Spotify now. Love 1969!!
What an opening story from Elvis. Amazing.
Two heroes of mine, talking to each other. Not bad. Elvis' loquacious self-importance is mitigated by moments of revelation, honesty, something visceral, which he finally addresses directly near the end of the interview. It makes his pretension tolerable, has always done so.
Iggy, I have no words. God bless, my friend,
I had the pleasure of seeing both these gentlemen while on tour. Elvis Costello and the Attractions (backed up by The Battered Wives) in Edmonton at the Jubilee Auditorium in 1978, and Iggy Pop with the Pretenders in 1987, again in Edmonton.
This was a great chat between absolute legends.
Elvis and Iggy..... Never were my favorite music, but I ALWAYS admired those guys. Fun interview..
Its nice to see that Tom from my space landed on his feet.
You put a penny in the Costello and he keeps on talking, hahaha!
A penny?
@@ST-xg3gy hahaha!
@Andrea Dawn Layne Do you think so?...
Honestly with that speaking voice, who wouldn't?
@@qualaup Back in the day? Most definitely. Nowadays, it’s probably a situation of once a speedfreak, always a speedfreak... He’s still got that energy, although he probably simply brings it up with a “cuppa”. Iggy’s still got the slow steady composure of an old junky, and I’m not talking shit; it’s just an observation. You can see both of these great men’s past drug dalliances animated on their faces and in their personalities. They’re both still alive, so we can look back and laugh and learn. Not the same story for so many greats, but thank god for the longevity of both these geniuses! Keith Richards and Pete Townsend too!
not long enough.
what a bless is to hear these two.
I named my African grey parrot after Iggy 16 years ago & hes still kicking 😄
I love parrots but i have cats,so it's no go. My neighboor had a huge ara,the beast had some 50 years
Just like the real Iggy lol
What's its name?
@@Requiredfields2 i think the name was Loro.i could be wrong,it's some 20 years ago
@@anfrankogezamartincic1161 Ok great. I meant the African grey but thanks.
Two of my favorite musicians. Wow! They are giants and I am so happy to hear them chat, just regular dudes! I love it. Thank you.
Iggy and Elvis, two great guys! They're definitely not showing their mileage. 😊👍🏻
I like how the moderator is just in awe- I would be!
Just letting the musicians talk is a great concept.
Had to pause this after the beginning to note that Elvis mentioned a LOT of places that I've been, being from that part of California.
Elvis, I'm pretty sure you know: the SFBA loves you beyond all reason, Sir.
Saw that first show at the Old Waldorf and then a year or so later in San Jose. As I remember it for the SF show he played just rhythm guitar but in San Jose he played amazing lead guitar.
@@389383 In the years that followed circa 78-80 we went on to see him several times at the Warfield; several times at the Greek (once in the first row!); even down to Santa Cruz Civic. My dream was to run into him at the late, lamented Village Music in Mill Valley where he was known to shop when in the Bay Area -- alas , never happened.
Love the way he pronounced “MAH-rin” County. Two of my favorite artists and to see them rattle on about the behind-the-scenes, a treasure.
@@susanklein7448 I lived in Mill Valley for a couple of years in late 70's and I missed him too! Village Music was such a cool record store.
@@389383 Yes, a total treasure and a fun place to browse and hang.
This really didn't need moderating.
Not at all.
Since he was there, he could’ve been helpful. I know that these guys both had long careers, but you can’t know everything about all music. He could have said, and Elvis, what album was that? Then said the same to Iggy Pop, or at least held them up, because I don’t know what albums they’re talking about. I understand that you might, but if you have a moderator, isn’t it to clarify things for the audience?
It actually got in the way.
There were a couple of points where he came in during a pause and directed the conversation to the other guy, and I thought it was interesting that he encouraged EC and IP to talk about each others' work. But you're right, they'd go on and be awesome for hours unattended.
Elvis has his own (excellent) talk show with musicians in Britain (watch it on youtube). So he already knows how to handle awkward pauses and keep the conversation flowing.
OMG.. I could listen to these 2 for days. Not as a fan, but as a human being. Teacher to student.
Wise to actual immature.
Iggy's looking like he spent the last 25 years in the Black Lodge.
Where’s Laura Palmer?
This post deserves x10 likes.
..and you look exactly like someone who's only "contribution" to a discussion would be centered around their appearance. Best of luck in your attempt at becoming math club Glenn Danzig, though.
@@ryanchristensen5266 while I don't give a shit what people look like, I can appreciate a good diss. Good one.
Jeezus, guys, it’s just a joke.
@45:55 It strikes when Elvis Costello uses the word joy to describe Iggy's performance on the BBC during the Post Pop Depression tour. I saw Iggy perform on that tour at the Greek Theater in LA in 2016. I'm not a religious person but the experience of that show was pure joy, it was like church to me but it was the religion of Iggy Pop and Iggy's fans, like me. Including seeing the Stooges twice, out of too many concerts for me to recount, I've experienced to well over 100 over nearly 40 years, if I could ever see again or relive a concert that's the one.
Honestly my two favorite music heroes from the 1970s.
Unbelievable!!!!! My two favorite artists in the so-called “rock” category!!! I love them both so much
There is so much love in this exchange.
Bowie's and Iggy's best RHYTHM SECTION.
Davis
Alomar
Murray
DAM(n)!
That would have been ANYBODY"S best rhythm section.
Have you seen DD's son's videos about his dad? The HD projects? He scores an interview with George Murray
Is that the guys from Bowie’s Station to Station tour band ?....I remember their names, I think they’re on that live album ‘Stage’ .
😎👍
Thanks, Andy! You did a great job pointing these two into the right directions and just let them roll! Thats what good journalists do! Chapeau!
Terrific engaging conversation by Elvis and Iggy!
Thanks for bringing back memories of some great shows. I saw Iggy in 1977 at the Oriental Theatre in Milwaukee. That same year I saw Elvis at Milwaukee's Electric Ballroom. I've been a fan ever since. Thanks again.
I saw Iggy playing with Bowie & the Sales Brothers doing the tour for 'THE IDIOT' album. An absolutely great show.
The band Iggy was referring to @ 43:43 was the Tubes...Fee Waybill, Prarie Prince ,Vince Welnick ,etc...
Yean surprised none of the three came up with the name.
That wasn't the only mistake in Elvis's memory. He got several things wrong but only those of us who were around at the time would catch his errors.
43.49........ The band you were talking about Iggy........ was 'The Tubes' and they were fantastic, I got to meet them and they were also very nice people.
Iggy rocks those old man glasses. Man he is the coolest living person left on earth. (Since Bowie died...)
Adore Elvis too. But he is just not as cool as Iggy.
This guy should've just slowly darkened his screen until he disappeared.
LOL
Senior writer too, looks like he just graduated high school 😆

Indeed. Perhaps if the young fellow that is interviewing, knew to hang back. Good to hear the stories! Thank you.
Iggy is a National treasure!
I love both of these guys so much, thank you for the video!
This is so candid and intimate... I really love this dialogue ...thanks
Let Iggy Talk Elvis
Never thought it would be these two having a chat... RS or anywhere else...1
Costello referencing Howling Wolf 💕
Merry Christmas to you An your Family Iggy An Elvis
Thank you 4 For this interview
I gave a young musician/song writer Elvis' autobiography - nothing better as we get older to pass the good stuff onto the younger brigade.
Don't too precious or critical just share and influence from a love of music
Iggy is a rock legend, it's great to see him still looking in great shape when you consider the amount of abuse he put his body through in his younger days.
Yeah it prolongs your life
i beleive its all there.on "Gimme Danger"-The Jim Jarmusch.classic doc're;The ahole storys..Iggy &'The Stooges a-z But to me the drugs are an media thing..Keith Richards..knows this.too.Survivors thank fuck too.♡
or Hr gave Abuse a run for the money..or his body put abuse thru them paces.guess abuse didnt win
Exhilarating to hear them both reminisce together. The moderator was cool with some good prompting questions.
Aww, I fkn LOVE both these amazing artists. Heard new tracks from Elvis Costello on Radio 2 recently and they were terrific!
Thanks, Andy
" Candy" is a great song! I saw Iggy perform it with that girl from the B-52's on The Tonight Show I believe.
Iggy's generosity and character knows no limits... letting this Costello hog the interview when the guy really should be showing a lot more reverence. Iggy's smile talking about big pints in the curry house made my day. Long live the kind James Newell Osterberg Jr!
Great observation at 19:00 or so about great recordings that have severe limitations. That’s immediately what I was thinking listening to Pump it up tonight. Killer song and you just want to tear down the walls. It leaves you wanting in a way that’s indescribable. The magic is in the space.
Elvis just made me order a curry.
I stumbled into Village Records in Mill Valley the day John shut the place down. After I walked in they closed the front door and Elvis appeared to crank out his best stuff solo acoustic. It’s on this format, as my daughter says “Just type it in daddy”
Epic interview
God bless Iggy. He’s one of the last living legends. If he goes, we lose so many stories.
Elvis costello 👍👍👍
I was traveling Tennesse and landed in Memphis and then went to Nashville for the weekend, then went back to Memphis to do the whole Elvis Presley and Beale st tour. I found out that while in Memphis Elvis Costello was playing at one of the oldest theaters in Memphis or perhaps Tennesse. I paid like $400 for 2 tickets which got me like 3rd or 4th row. The usher took us to our seats and the show started and we prepared ourselves for the Costello experience. Well we were taking photo’s and then I was shooting a video of the opening performance. At this time an usher informed us we couldn’t film video of his show but could take pictures.
Ok... this sent me thru the roof cause no concert ever, ever, that I have attended does this. I have STP, Pearl Jam, even Sir Elton John and many more major, MAJOR Artists/Bands on video and it’s never been a problem, like NEVER...
when you pay for premium seats for shows, often VIP. As an Artist/musician/Band, you have to expect people will have cameras, camcorders, and cellphones. It is an honor for people to care and like you and your music and you should be grateful anyone is interested in you/your music period. Especially at the end of your career and life... period...
This is how people/musicians/bands get brought back from the dead and help other be aware of your music and that you still have it going on, shared via multimedia platforms.
Needless to say, I told the usher that wouldn’t be a problem cause this wasn’t sounding like what I had expected anyways and were outta here. So we’re standing outside the theater decided which bar to go to and 4 other couples came out as well and asked us where we were going next cause he sounded like shit and they’d rather hang out with us we seemed like more fun....
We were like: LMAOROTFF!!!!! So we took everyone to Wet Willies and had a blast.... Drunk on Beale St and we all had the best time... So ELVIS COSTELLO I WANT MY $400.00 dollars back you HAS BEEN... YOU SUCK!!!!!
Iggy you are the man, legend beyond words and Elvis is awesome also!!
