Thank you for that highlight. I am half way through and I still don’t know which one it was for sure but that female cousin’s name is known to me quite well.
I can now die in rock n roll heaven and I know where I’m going. Bless you.
I love the twins so much, I've been a fan since the beginning, and I still am. God bless you both.
please if at all possible can you tell the brothers thank you I got to see his dad in person years ago, and it was a great show got to meet him for a few minutes and I wonder what happened to his guitar did it go down in flames in the plane
There weren't many pioneers of Rock n Roll ....but Ricky Nelson was one ....
Gunnar Rocks-what a beautiful person-inside and out ♥️🌻🙌🇦🇺⭐️
Gunnar is such a nice guy! My Daughter and I got to meet and talk with him around 2003 in Florida. He actually took the time to have an awesome conversation with him. I started out telling him I was a huge fan of his Pops (I am just a few years older than G&M.), he smiled so big & our conversation began. I was able to get a picture with both Gunnar & Matthew, they were great (I no longer have 😢). He was so genuine, so kind & he "thanked me" for the conversation about his Pops. I have been huge fans of Gunnar & Matthew ever since!!! One of my 'Treasured' memories!!! ❤

I subscribed after I wrote my comment! I enjoyed your "LIVE" very much, Gunnar seemed to be having a great time too!!!
Gunnar is so smart, articulate, interesting and takes the listener on pleasant trips and travels on any story he decides to share. This man can talk for hours and is never boring. He should do audio books of his life and history of his legendary family. This would be awesome.
Appreciate the comment. Thank you for watching.
@@artistsonrecord great show, enjoyed watching. Newly subscribed 👍
I luv Mathew & Gunnar, I have seen them perform live twice , I just saw them in Wabash , Indiana at the Eagles Theater a few days ago and I hadn't seen them for 20 years or more , they sounded great and I love hearing them tell stories from their life. I was born a year before them and I have been listening to them since they first started. I of course have watched Ozzie & Harriet and their dad , the one song that stands out that their dad made was "Garden Party" I remember hearing it on the radio when I was a young girl and singing along :) Ricky was definitely a handsome man but so are Mathew & Gunnar ! Mathew & Gunnar have come from a great family & they have had such an awesome experience with growing up with all these musicians, they have so many cool stories to tell , they need to write a book , I would luv to read it ! I have always loved reading biographies about interesting people's lives ! I have the Michael Jackson "Off The Wall" record album, I also have the "Thriller" album , I also have the very first album Michael made with his brothers, it is called "Dianna presents The Jacksons" my best friend found it at a flea market years ago and she gave it to me for my birthday along with another Jackson's album. I also like Fleetwood Mac & Stevie Nicks , I liked most of the albums he held up. I love the Beatles and I have an old Wings album . I like all the Beatles members , they are all cool, hard to say who is my favorite! I am kind of Partial to Paul but I think they were all special , Ringo is a great drummer & funny ! Paul is a great singer & musician, George Harrison seemed like a great guy , a peaceful guy , John had his own great music , a peaceful guy too !
Ricky Nelson left a beautiful memories in his wonderful children I'm soo proud of them all well done guys we love u all
Gunnar is so down-to-earth. He grew up with great privilege but you would never know because he is very genuine and real. Love listening to him talk.
I love you both now Gunnar and Matthew Nelson , !!! Love your music, and Love how you represent your Father !! He was an honorable man , RICKY was loved by all the people !!! Your Dad was #1 for many weeks on the “HITPARADE “ in Germany when I was a kid , but loved Music from early on , still do !!
Yes, I know Traveling Man , Garden Party !! ❤️❤️❤️
Thank you for watching!
Yeah NELSON, 😮you came from a great family and still keeping it alive. From Ozzie down to Matt and gunner, so excited when I find all of you on my iPad.
Matt favors the Harmon side imo
@@dsoule4902you’re right! I wondered what the difference was! Spot on! Good eye you have!
This is awesome I’m glad Gunner said things that I always thought were true like how Ricky was shy and quiet
I will never understand why Ricky Nelson was so underrated and why Elvis was so popular Ricky was gorgeous and talented I just don’t understand.
Despite Rick's extraordinary pre-Beatles success. it became popular to deride him in the early 1970s, with the arrival of the 1st Rock 'n Roll revival. While Rick had changed with the times. it was hard to shake his clean cut, wholesome, All-American, 1950's image, which had fallen out of favour with the rock music buying public. People also pointed to his limited vocal range, mediocre guitar skills and limited song writing but there was a bigger underlying factor.
People now resented his overnight success. They preferred their musical heroes to be working class people who clawed their way up from the bottom, playing countless low paying gigs and making endless rounds of the record companies. Rick was the exact opposite of this, coming from a successful show business family and his father negotiating a record deal with him having zero prior pro music experience. His first record was promoted on a hit television show and turned him into an instant R'nR star. Basically, the mass market, now resented what they perceived as a mediocre talent, being handed fame and fortune on a silver platter.
In hindsight, he wasn't much different than the The Monkees, another successful act that rock pundits were quick to deride as the Prefab Four. Furthermore, he was often cited as the prototype for much of what was bad with music at the time, the rise of the teenage idols such as the Frankie Avalon, Fabian, Bobby Sherman, David Cassidy, Davey Jones, etc.
Unfortunately, this attitude toward Rick's music still exists, even to-day. For the most part, this criticism is largely that of an ignorant public who has never taken the time to sit down and listen to Rick's old records. Most are making assumptions or simply regurgitating the preachings of rock snobs. The professional musicians and friends that knew Rick well, realized that he put everything into his music and many regarded him highly. Whatever vocal and guitar playing shortcomings he may have had, he made the best use of them and more than compensated with impeccable song choice, excellent selection of backing musicians and vocalists, great arrangements, great production and promotion that was ahead of its time.
Slowly, people are beginning to see the light and appreciate the true musical genius of Rick Nelson. In my opinion, he deserves to be held in the same esteem as other seminal R'nR acts, such as Elvis Presley, Chuck Berry, Little Richard, the Everly Brothers, Buddy Holly, Eddie Cochran and Gene Vincent.
Man kann Ricki nicht mit dem grossen Elvis vergleichen😅
You just gotta love Gunnar. 🎉Love that Nelson politeness, unassuming, not entitled, grateful and real. God bless ‘em.
Ricky was freaking hilarious on Ozzie and Harriet. He got great lines but his delivery was impeccable.
What a great interview. Gunnar has so much knowledge and experience in the music field and is so articulate and enthusiastic about sharing it.
Gunnar and Matthew are amazing human beings. I love their music and I love them. Much continued success and blessings to both of them
It was great listening to you Gunnar. Loved hearing the backstory. You two are go getters for sure. You both have great passion and enthusiasm in your field. Keep on 🎶
Thank you for your feedback! Please subscribe and checkout our pass interviews
Done!
Thank you Gunner and Matthew for not letting your dad's music go away. I love all the old time singers back when your dad was popular and even before that ❤❤❤😊😊😊
I used to watch Ozzie and Harriet when Ricky and David were on it. I loved Ricky and couldn't wait for him to sing at the end of the show. But I was also a fan of Elvis and I loved them both and still do even though they are both gone. Gunner and Matthew looks like their momma with their dads smile. Sam looks like his Dad. I don't believe for a second that Rick was free basing on that plain.
I watched Ozzie and Harriet loved the show ❤️love what your talking about family brings back memories that I treasure 😊
Being true to yourself is what life is all about. Keep it going❤
💯
Great show. My Dad worked at the studio and used to toss a football around with Ricky when he wasn’t needed on set. I’m 70 and I’m a Rick Fan. I’ve seen him 7 times. I was also at the Trubadour when Rick played there. Best concert ever
I met Mat & Gunner in Canyonville Oregon at the Indian Gambling & Concert Center on the early 90’s I believe. The guys put on an incredible show. The whole audience was blown away.
They stayed to sign every autograph that was wanted. Please just keep touring 🎸🎸🎸🎸🎸
Thank you both for the love❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉
I was born in Germany, I was maybe 10 yrs old , had the biggest crush on RICKY NELSON !! Everyone in GERMANY knew his big Song : HELLO MARY LOU !! I know it was a number 1 hit in GERMANY !! ❤️❤️❤️❤️
Gunnar is a fabulous story teller!
they mostly look like their mom. a good looking family. and very talented as well.
What a great interview!! I grew up with the whole Nelson family on TV. It is great to see they are still entertaining. Thanks for memories and catching up with the boys. Wonderful. Wish them continued success on their own terms.
Thank you for watching and for your feedback.
love the interview with Gunnar love brothers always Gunnar and Matthew are awesome singers and have a great band Nelson love their music still today
Thank You, checkout our other Nelson interview’s and please subscribe to our channel.
What a record collection Gunnar must have. The albums he showed 🔥
Gunner I loved your dad's singing and acting he was so great watching The Ozzie and Harriet show was the best times ❤❤😊😊
Love hearing your stories Gunnar ❤️
As much as Gunnar and Matt look like their Mom, you can really see Ozzie’s features in Gunnar…cheekbones, eyes and mouth
I'm a huge Boston fan,R.I. P Bradley Delp. Gone but not forgotten.
At about 45 seconds into the video Gunnar made me see Rick with a simple facial expression. It was comforting to know that small parts of us will live on in our children. My daughter has something that reminds everyone of me also. Thanks for that, it made my day. Greg
I know! He always did look more like Rick. Matt takes after Kris, which is weird for identical, mirror twins.
It happens, though. Andy Williams has twin nephews. One looks like their mom, and one looks like their aunt.
You all did ur father proud by preserving his name
Gunnar gives so much information, he's just great!❤
Put the bad feelings aside and PLEASE record with your bro SAM! You & Fans will be forever greatfull!!!
Please do a another interview with Gunnar ( and maybe Matt too.) Love this❤.
You guys are awesome I loved your Dad and so glad that you all keep your dad's memories alive he was a awesome man wished I could have met him but never did but I still cherish his music and movies love your music also your dad loved you guys I've heard him talk about you all on some of his interviews and his eyes would just light up been following your Dad since he was on Ozzie and Harriet I loved all the Nelson's may the ones that has passed on RIP keep up the good work and keeping your dad's memories alive ❤💙♥💜

Gunnar and Matt know how to treat their fans. Nicest guys ever! Go see them if they come to a venue near you. What talent these two have! Love them!
Yes they are very kind to there fans. I plan on continuing going to all their shows.🎸
God bless you Nelson boys!
Thank you!!! I was three years old when I first saw your dad on T. V.!
I saw him play at the Alameda county Fair in the 1980's. He was as good as any performer I have ever seen. A true professional and a great musician. And as your Uncle David once said, he's the nicest person I know, I believe it. Thanks for a great post!
One of the most enjoyable videos I have seen...what a classy and down to earth guy.
Grew up watching his father on TV....as all of my generation did...
Appreciate you being here, glad you enjoyed this episode.
@@artistsonrecord Great site...tks
Old AFM member..from 1971
You just loved this. Every word Gunner says I hang on to. I just love music and the entertainment industry ( pop culture ). So every thing he stays is the coolest info. I just love it like crazy. I will def be looking for more of his interviews. Thank you so much for this. Xxx
Thank You Gunner for this Great Interview and Back Story 😃
I was at that concert at Madison Square Garden. I did not and would never boo Ricky!! I am so excited that in April, I will be on the Blue Cruise with a huge line-up including Matthew and Gunnar. I hope I get to talk to them and tell them that I was at the concert that inspired their Dad to write Garden Party!
wish Gunner would write a book
Such a fun interview .. with lots of tidbits ... the elevator story was definitely my favorite ..
Thank you for watching
I got The Garden Party Record right After Ricky Made It . I was 13 and it was Cool😃
As a fan of Ricky Nelson since about 1962, I can't help but being a fan of Matthew and Gunnar. Two extremely talented guys with morals and respect for their fans. You don't see them all over the stupid tabloids with negative stories about them or involved in the Hollywood bull shit. Keep on keepin' on Matthew and Gunnar and Rock until ya drop!!!
Love this so much! Hope to see Gunnar again! Great stories!
First-hand from one of the MSG lighting crew who worked that show.
The crowd wasn't booing Rick. A fight broke out, & when cops stepped in they were booed.
thanks Gunner got to see your dad years ago great show
Had the pleasure of seeing Rick and the SCB in early 80s in Portland Oregon,Great show such a talented guy!
Ricky was awesome R.I.P ricky nelson.
From Shreveport/Bossier La. Great interview. Love the stories. Nelson are good guys.

Loved this show. Could not leave it at all.
Fantastic interview. Thank you so much. ❤
Glad you enjoyed it! Please subscribe and join the family!
I did subscribe 🙏 I love your interview style.
Loved this! Great interview.
Glad you enjoyed it!
Professor Gunnar strikes again. He's quite the historian, quite the communicator. (11min lol "yeah I talk a lot ..")
Seriously
"Adjunct Professor"
I really wish I could have seen your dad sing in person that would have been truly amazing 😊😊
I love NELSON! ♥️ They’re such great singers & songwriters! Loved them all...From Ozzie & his orchestra, to Rick & his band’s to these guys & Sam, too! I think Sam sounds most like his Dad! What a great family! Love Tracy in The Father Dowling Mysteries! Great memories! I thought Ricky & David were my age! 😂 No idea I was watching reruns, as we had black & white tv! I wanted them for brothers! Little did I know Tracy is older than i by a year! 😁 It’s Great to catch Matthews young boy playing drums...another generation! Imagine!? Amazingly talented family! ♥️🌹🌿🙌🏼🙌🏼🙌🏼
i have so many original vinyls and Off the Wall is one of them and that is for sure one of the greatest albums.
Agree 💯
I loved the Nelson outfits and that they were styled with Native Anerican jewelry, back then I don't remember anyone rocking those looks and I appreciated it. Great Memories of my youth!
Glad you enjoyed this episode! As always please hit that bell to be notified so you don’t miss out on any great interviews!
One of my favorite videos is a cover of Garden Party, which was done not just by Matthew and Gunnar, but Sam too. They each were featured, and they/it were BRILLANT!!!!
Gunnar is awesome, love the adventures of Ozzie and Harriet nelson
Wonderful interview!
Beautiful interview!
This was so wonderful! Gunnar is my fav. ❤🎉😂
This interview is fantastic. 👍
Thanks for watching
I was 6 years younger than dad and I watched ozzie and harriet for years than one day in April 1966 I tuned in to see the show and batman was on instead sad very sad. But your grandpa was such a genius 7 years later ozzie invented ozzie girls. Great show but ozzie got sick after one season and died. That show would have lasted a long time too. All of the Nelson's are talented.
I FREAKING SO DO L♡VE Gunnar's t-shirt !!! Cuz , I LOVE,LOVE,LOVE GRAM PARSONS !!!! God rest his Sweet soul !
love love need to write book on growing up .. whenever I m down I cheek in for MY nelson fix ... makes me fell better for the day
I love his personality!! My parents grew up watching Ozzie and Harriet, then of course Ricky Nelson's music. I grew up watching their sister Tracy Nelson on Square Pegs and then 90210, listening to their band Nelson ❤ Super talented family that has overcome a lot of tragedy.
The hard rock hollies!
I enjoyed this interview so much!
I'm here because I grew up watching Ozzie & Harriet and opened for Ricky in '71 in Norfolk NE. He was a Genuine Human Being. I mentioned the "Wooly Coat" that he wore on TV, and he handed it to me and said, "Try it on."... I did. We hung out with him and The Stone Canyon Band for the rest of the afternoon after sound check. I thought they sounded every bit as good as Crosby, Stills and Nash. It was an Great day, and is still some of my favorite memories. (People... especially the people in the Industry, are ignorant. They are NOT Musicians or even Creative on any level, whatsoever. They care about money, and nothing else. I've been a Professional Musician since 1963 and I've seen the same horrific treatment that they treated Ricky with over and over and over!)
Best interview ever!!! Great story teller and I had tears just listening!! ❤❤❤
Thank you so much! Please subscribe! Your support matters! 🙏
what a fantastic interview!
Thank you @Strat62 appreciate the feedback
They used to say that Elvis was good-looking, but Rick was so handsome he just had to stand there, no leg shaking required. 😉
Nice guy too.
How cool to get that Boston Album for radio promo only! Wow! I still have mine Boston Albums! Loved that band!
Gunnar on our left, dad center, Matthew on our right...with their dad from the Garden Party album! Cool they were all 33! Never knew that!
great interview watched the whole thing and it was very cool thanks for the love ! Cheers
Great interview!
Thank you, please checkout our playlist for more great interviews
You can really see Ozzie in Gunnar!
Love listening to him
Good to hear this stuff . 😊
A gunner you and Matthew your dad will be so proud of you too I lost my mom and my dad and my tooth and my little brother now I lost my oldest brother now there's only six now there's only six of us
This family is tough .But at the end of the day, it's all love. I met my cousin once.I talked to Matthew about an hour and Ray Diddle came by and it ended.Then I've not seen them since.Because of family.
17:30. Rick is credited with starting the country-rock genre!!
Gunnar was right about teenage childhood.
Facing the photo on CD who is Gunnar and Matthew. I met them in person. Very down to earth and Gentlemen
Good Question, I do always get them mixed up.
8:27 Nelson Bros thought Dylan was some homeless guy. So did I! When I first saw the “We Are The World” video I seriously thought “Awww, How sweet, they let a random homeless guy outside the studio come in and record an off-key line. Bless his heart.” I had no idea that was Bob Dylan.
great song❤❤❤
Been Great❤🎉🎉
Ricky Nelson was actually beautiful. Those eyelashes! 😂
Wow I love Nelson and Matt Gunner
Ricky and David Nelson great amazing talent
GUNNAR, YLU PROBABLY DON'T REMEMBER ME, BUT SEVERAL YEARS AGO, YOU AND MATTHEW PLAYED AT "AUTUMNFEST" IN WOONSOCKET, RHODE ISLAND. I WAS THE ONE THAT PICKED YOU UP AT THE AIRPORT AND SPENT SOME TIME WITH YOU BEFORE AND AFTER THAT SHOW ON SATURDAY NIGHT. IT WAS GREAT, LOVED YOUR SHOW. JOE JOHNSTON
First Born Sons - the merch is great!
