- These are just some stories that I found very interesting and relatable. Hard to imagine all of these men would had set around and collaborated fictional lies in order to have relevance in life. Is there some exaggeration, or perhaps left out details? I would say yes, but the overall human side of Elvis makes him more intriguing. IN MY OPINION!
That story with a gift certificate from McDonald’s, Joe Esposito told the same story only these guys left out that he did it as a gag and gave everyone a real gift afterwards. Funny how they left that out
C’est vraiment des chiens
That's what I said, these 5 all lie they all used Elvis the money the gifts cars etc. They were doing drugs with Elvis! They all hated Cilla they were jealous saying Elvis was made to get married he didn't want to says Marty, that's not true, I hav a interview with Elvis he stares Priscilla was the best thing that ever happened to him the happiest was the day Lisa was born, now there was 3 of them he says they were a family!❤️
I have no sympathy for these guys-they betrayed the one person who put food in their moutns-even after Elvis died they still rode his coat tails to make money
Priscilla has done the same thing. She is worse than the MM.
Red and Sonny West betrayed him with the book ELVIS WHAT HAPPENED
They were blessed to be part of a world that only others can dream of. They should be grateful and not be talking about the man after he is gone and not here to defend himself. You know what they say. There is always two sides of the story.
Exactly and with friends like these who needs enemies.

To both comments!!
I can't even imagine the pressure and stress that comes with being the king of rock-n-roll. It had to be more than one human being could carry and keep smiling
They were jealous and Mad cause their free ride was over so they decided to put him down with fake stories for money they all pos
Lo hanno spremuto come un limone povero Elvis era troppo buono per questo mondo
Elvis Presley was also a human being we all have our faults I miss him so
This is what happens when you mix business and friendship.
Friends don't usually sit around sharing bad moments about the friend that they're supposed to know and loved. Obviously they're trying to get attention because we all have our bad moments that we really don't want repeated shame on you guys
Money,money money😢
Poor Elvis. Everyone was so greedy and dependent on him that they couldn't dare be honest with him and tell him they were worried about him and that he had to go to rehab.
They were scared they'd get fired.
A real friend would take the blows, and risk him getting angry, and he'd have forgiven them.
Maybe he just really needed someone who cared.
I think they did care, but it was too little, too late.
I bet they really regret losing him.
And I bet they miss him.
Heck, I miss him, and I've never even met him!
Sucker
His longtime friend, spiritual guru and hairdresser did try to come to his aid in the 70's but by then it was too late. Elvis was destined to die at his early age. His lifestyle he just couldn't conquer. Anyone living the life he did would go down that same road. It's too much for a mortal human to keep up with. But we do miss him. I was just 19 when he died and remember it well. People/fans denied his death for a long time afterwards.
@@judycolson6047 It wasn't drugs. Get outta your time warp. He needed the drugs to cope with a spiraling immune disorder caused by a concussion and Codeine OD caused be a genetic abnormality. Just keep parroting the same tired debunked bullsh_t from now on though
These men enjoyed the ride of Elvis’ fame + fortune until his health became so precarious that his father, Vernon laid them off. Their response was to write a book about Elvis’ flaws out of spite + for money. This saddened Elvis and his response was, “They gotta do what they gotta do.” He died weeks after. Elvis made peace with His Maker, his Lord + Saviour Jesus Christ before he died + is with Him right now. I’ve read, watched + listened enough to confidently arrive at this conclusion.
I love Elvis too, but maybe you should read the book before you judge them. Elvis was a raging druggie by 71 & if you don't believe that then you have blinders on. These are the guys that protected Elvis, not Joe or Charlie or Jerry or the Colonel who used him.
Yes why did just these certain men get fired?They were getting into lawsuits ,they roughed up a fan even.Yes the book was written to ruin him.He bought them things that we could never afford to have.I hope it bothered them after Elvis died and as they got older.
They were fired cuz they wrote the book. They tried to help Elvis but he wouldn’t listen! And it was written months before his death not weeks!
I am speechless 😢 these are truly mean people with no souls nor gratitude. 😡
This people live Elvis life 24/7.All good and all bad things...
Elvis was a man in a cage. He couldn't go any where like a normal man.
Not true! Elvis lived a good exciting life for years....of course he could not go out like other people...but being Elvis had its privileges!!! He loved being Elvis....
No he was t why cause he was sooooo beautiful n gorgeous !!!!!!! He had nadd security !!!!!!!! Jealous much ?!!!!!
@@ispy9189 yesss you are sooo right , he did !!!!!!!! He did have hatters , of course , esp the ugly mfs faje celebrities and other men !!!!!!
@@michellejimenez79 My mom worked for Elvis for many years until his death...she knew Elvis from the early 60s ...l practically grew up at Graceland....ll saw Elvis all the time as a kid. My mom lived Elvis! We know...
I’m not loving these guys talking crap after he’s gone. No thanks. Yeah he was human but at this point he was gone.
If they really Loved Him, they would have kept some of these stories to themselves.
Why? .. these people regardless of their fame ..are still just people.. no better than you and no worse ..they have the same wants and desires u do ..except they are better equipped financially AR d ue to fame and also they are better practiced at being off the hook..
Very true.. they werent good for him
Right on. Is all about money honey. Just like is shrewd ex-wife, kept bleeding him for money, after divorce. Yes, she put Graceland, on the map. But she was also robbing Lisa, from her trust. Paying herself $900,000, a year. Doing nothing, for it. . I think she did that not for Lisa. So she can keep living off Elvis money. Look, now she thinks, Lisa's trust belongs to her. She was a user. Like everyone else that wrote a book. She also wrote a book, making Elvis sound like a monster. He was human, he wasn't a God. If Priscilla, really loved him, she shouldn't had writing that book. That's was between then 2, the world didn't had to know. What the hell happened to privacy??.She wanted more money, from the book. And Elvis, was dead, could not defend himself.
Exactly, I am sure they had angry moments, Elvis helped them out in so many ways. All they doing is rubbishing Elvis. You guys aren't perfect
What stories?
In an early interview Elvis himself said "I know I have a temper on me."
Hard to imagine what the Memphis Mafia boys would have done without Elvis? Not really. They lucked into a life of excess by basking in the fame of Presley.
Sos true c Elvis can't reply sure he's pissed abit in heaven
Pump a guy full of drugs until he's a complete addict and work him like a hamster on a wheel while the whole world criticizes him in the papers and on tv, and wow! Big surprise. The guy acts unreasonable from time to time. Can't imagine how that can happen.
Look all-round you ... it's the same deal for everyone.. just flavored different ... selling your ass is selling your ass ..no matter . . What your wearing .. I'm not sure but my bet is it's like beer except lite beer of course it always tates like piss.. .. but getting on your knees is the same every where .. the taste washes out after the first few shots when your done .. cept lite beer ..it taste like piss nomatter what ..beginning middle and end... then again.. some things taste like shit at the end .. .. still .. it's b the same for rich or poor ... except .. it's easier to get whiskey for mouth wash when your rich ...
nobody pumped him full of drugs but he himself..
Not true. @@guynese977
I want to hear the stories where they all got together to intervene to get him off drugs.
What a shame . The Doctors who gave him the drugs should have been stripped of everything and put in prison !
Yeah....it's the doctors fault.
He would’ve just gotten them from someone else.. he was an addict
@J Kennimer that does not excuse Dr Nick from over prescribing. He is a doctor who took an oath but he didn't have to be a part of it. Elvis was not the only person Dr Nick over prescribed. That's why he was dubbed "Dr Feel Good". He finally was stripped of his medical license.
These guys don't say all these scripts all the pills wasn't just for Elvis it was all for them too
See how Jerry Schilling isn't there? The one loyal friend of the Presley's, through it all, even today.
Yes, because Jerry stopped working for Elvis in 1972. He wouldn't know anything about the last 5 years of his life.
He was under pressure paying free loaders salaries...
I believe he suppressed alot of his anger and feelings which caused him to lash out at minor things, which happens to any human
Elvis was human. He had his moments. I’m sure these guys had their moments.
100% agree. The frailties in life is what makes life interesting.
@@AdrianEmbrey1979 the only one’s I. Trust and believe on stories and what Elvis did and didn’t do is family only. & others Like Mindi. & Larry 😉
Exactly. 🌱
Yeah like ending up trying to still make money off his legacy, by writing trash books about Elvis. Read any???
Nah, he’s definitely an alien of sorts. Purple velvet pants with matching cape blazer usually would be enough, but going on about how he’s studied drug abuse (while on enough cocaine to take down an elephant) and communist brainwashing techniques…… seems quite alien to me. lol. The most requested photo from the U.S. national archives.
Drugs change people. Its just so horrible that his manager got him so addicted. I would live to have seen elvis live a live a ling and healthy life.
Wonder if they ever lost their tempers? As a matter of fact Elvis fired Sonny and Red because of all the law suits he had from them ruffing up the fans. It was so bad Elvis had his Graceland in hock fighting these lawsuits. This is probably part of the reason Elvis had his heartattack. This is life and people lose their tempers. They could have quit anytime they wanted. They tell their side but Elvis cannot tell his side, isn't that convient. R.I.P Elvis.
Those jumpsuits were heavy, hot and when you're nervous, responsible for the salaries of several people, facing time schedules set by Col, putting up with good and bad fans and all the while being doped up to perform, doped up to sleep, I'm absolutely sure it all
made him uncomfortable and even more quick tempered. Everyone has a breaking point and he was human. I sure wouldnt have pissed him off.
Yep the dope got him. The weight, the unpredictable moods, exaggerated reactions…not even Elvis could beat dope. And since he was Elvis, he had all he wanted on demand
@@MrLaurak12 and "yes men" are dangerous as they enable and allow it all.
Well said. 😢
These two (at the beginning) bug me. As soon as Vernon fired them, they wrote a tell-all book, even before Elvis died. Jerry Schilling wrote one, 2006 once getting permission from Priscilla. Larry Geller was the hairdresser. He and Jerry, and the cook (Mary Jenkins) were the only 3 that didn't use him.
Yeah he had some moments. Everyone does. He was under alot of pressure. Still love him
Did you know him?? Were you around him. You were and are in love with an image. A star. This is what Hollywood did. They made people into God's
@@leestimis9264 wrong choice of words. I don't worship anyone on this earth. I found in general people are assholes
@@leestimis9264 bro just stop
@@chrishandsome4267 were you alive when he was?? And I'm not your bro!!
I'm a woman. I watched him live on t.v.
Did you??
@@leestimis9264 I’m tryna watch you live on TV what’s up girl
Red was the biggest traitor of them all!
Real CREEP!
Elvis was taking prescribed medication. He was NOT on Drugs. These backstabbing Users should rot in ....
we all get angry FFS, imagine how he felt looking after all of that lot and giving more than half his income to the colonel, I'd be pissed off too
I get the feeling that since Elvis took care of everyone and I mean EVERYONE between his lazy family and his wife’s lazy family and didn’t wanna let anyone down that his only escape and vice was drugs. That unfortunately was all that could ultimately make him happy. Ultimately it’s what most likely killed him.
These guys were not good for elvis period
Nothing anyone could say would diminish my love for Elvis. ❤️❤️❤️
@@soniaevans-ty7gz I agree
Bunch of bottom feeders
In my book!
Very much appreciated hearing about "the human side" of Elvis. Hey, i ain't perfect either. And none of us know what it's like to be the most famous person on the planet.
In the planet
Muhammed Ali was and still is much more known than Elvis.
@@plainolamerican
With all due respect, I`ve always loved Muhammed Ali, but I`ve come across a lot of people that never heard of him. I`ve never met anybody who hasn`t heard of Elvis.
@@lechat8533 Have you travelled abroad?
@@lechat8533 I have met someone who had never heard of Elvis!
A Chinese man who volunteers with me at a Red Cross shop in Auckland NZ. Don’t worry he knows really well about who Elvis is now.
There are some tough stories about Elvis to hear/read but they don't stop us from loving him. In the end, I blame those who enabled him and fueled his addictions. He didn't know better or at least by the time he did, it was too late. Those pills can impact your mood and demeanor. Elvis was human with the same frailties and flaws we all have only with 1000% of the pressure.
Plenty of blame goes to Elvis himselvis!
Remember folks its all only their interpretation, have 10 people tell you the same stories you'll get 10 different versions.
Honestly this story made me like him more, flaws and all.
Dont disrespect the King
Who wouldnt in the world be jealous of that beautiful and sooo talented man !!!!!
I can only imagine the stress and pressure on Elvis all the time. He had all these people depending on him for their livelihood, he knew it and didn't want to fail anyone he cared about.
Elvis and Vernon's arguments remind me of mine and my dad's. We'd damn near come to blows yet we always loved each other as soon as it was done.
Should never come to blows with your father regardless.
Elvis was surrendered by fade friends at all that times 😱
Priceless stories , remember Elvis was a musical genius and genius people have their own way of doing things. I’m not justifying violent behavior but he didn’t have a private life/normal life since he was 19.
Sad
@@tonyh4966 Bro you and I were not there. Its all hearsay. Did Elvis get angry at his bodyguards ? Yeah Of course he had his character flaws like any person. Did he fire them? Yes many times. But he was also kind and generous to them and to others who worked at Graceland.He was a musical genius So if you have never had a number one hit I think you’d better shut up about someone who impacted the world like you never would. Enjoy your day.
@@tonyh4966 ego is all
@@tonyh4966 they could have walked out anytime. They lived off Elvis. Heard one of the wives saying they would miss the vacations. I think it went both ways.
@@tonyh4966 So Your point is : Elvis was unkind to the Memphis Mafia? Yes of course he was he quarreled with them he told them to kill that karate teacher that had a relationship with Priscilla. He kept them awake at night yes he probably did other stuff that you don’t like, I get it. Elvis wasn’t a saint I’m not denying that. It’s just that you never will reach the levels of excellence he achieved in his music so you really have no right to sit here and pour out your negativity over people.
He was the most beautiful man that anyone has ever seen. Inside and out. My god he was handsome. Impossibly handsome. His voice was pure heaven. He was perfect. He had everything. He had everything but his freedom. He paid a price for being the most famous and loved person on the planet. No one but ELVIS knew what it was like to be ELVIS. It would have been better if he had not have become famous. He might still be alive if he had become just an ordinary person like the rest of us. He did not deserve to go so young. Such was the price of his fame. He was loved to death.
O.D. Is what got him. Lord didn't want him back. He O.D.
Elvis was a drug addict, egomaniac, and a violent asshole.
He was also a fat drug addict
"Impossibly Handsome" is a great way to phrase it!
There was no way in hell Elvis wouldn’t have been famous. The man is so beautiful he could have been a successful movie star if he never went into music. I know he did movies but they weren’t successful!
Elvis Presley was HUMAN
He was a sensitve Capricorn dude I know that person well
Sounds like a drugged out asshole
@@bradlott9876 YOU will be forgotten about in less than 5 years after you die. Made little to no impact in your life. ELVIS worked for a better life for his family and changed the world
@@virgiljohnson9880 he wanted to help everyone who he felt needed someone to help them. Like this lady who got hit by a car. It would break anyone’s heart but Elvis hsd the means to help so he took action. God bless him.
People have to remember that
this guys took advantage Elvis then later destroy him. shame on them
I don't think I've ever rolled my eyes as much as I have listening to these guys especially the ones that betrayed him talk about how they would've kicked Elvis ass if they chose to instead of walking away. When I heard Sonny say, "I didn't think you'd ever hurt me like that Elvis," all I could think of was Elvis saying the same thing to both Sonny and Red after they betrayed him by writing that book about him. I believe its no coincidence Elvis died 10 days after the book came out. Red even had the audacity to secretly record Elvis during a phone call and they'd both continue making money off of Elvis until they passed. Sorry sons of b*tches.
Still making livings off E.P.
Unlike Priscilla, these guys actually loved Elvis
Totally agree with you, these guys would have been pumping gas if it wasn't for Elvis, and they were milking their relationship with Elvis till the day they died they had no respect or love for Elvis.
@@philomenamannion833 100% incorrect.
I remember hearing about that book deal. Vernon fired the "Memphis Mafia" so in retaliation and loaded up with so many piss poor excuses as to why they did the book deal ... one being how were they supposed tp provide for themselves and their families. Yeah I understand very well the reality of having a job on Monday and being fired on Tuesday. In defense of the MM that is a sickening feeling...but damn don't backstab the man who's coat tails he allowed you to hang on too all those years...did Elvis even know Vernon fired the mafia? He should have fired that leech Col. Tom Parker instead. The excuse he gave for Elvis never having having a WORLD TOUR was that the security risk was too high to go outside the US. ***what a crock*** the only thing that was a security risk was Elvis's bank account. Tom was a gambling addicted carnival "carny" employee, and EP was his personal piggy bank. SMH !!!
Memphis mafia was just memphis leaches. Leaching off of Elvis !
Always wondered what was true & what was fabrication for their benefit. Not sure any of them were honest.
The Smith family is prone to mood swings
Yah glady’s family..
That's not all, aperantly their genes where bad too. Elvis was destined to die young
You need to read that book
I posted this video because I thought the stories were very interesting. Obviously Elvis done many positive things but these were some of my favorite. Reminds me of the saying: “"our sweetest songs are those that tell of saddest thought"
I will say my favorite positive story is in reference to the lady that couldn’t walk and couldn’t afford a wheelchair so Elvis and some guys went over to her house with a brand new electric wheel chair that he helped put her in that chair personally, and I believe he gave her a kiss. The best part of that story is upon leaving her house, one of the guys said: “Elvis, I don’t think she knew who you were.” His response was: “It doesn’t matter, she knows that someone cared.”
I even got mad at Johnny Carson for saying that about Elvis.
That type of garbage is what fueled his early death even faster. Even the Book - Elvis What Happened where his friends talk shit..released shortly before he died.
@@Gamzor DRUGS MOFO DRUGS
@@samosasosa6684 no shit
He was surrounded by to many wrong people ... that's something what Ann Margret also said
Those guys just wanted the money, Im sure Elvis paid them good
Elvis had to pay for everything
The main culprit being "Colonel "Tom Parker,a man who took 70 cents of every dollar Elvis ever made.If Elvis had different management he would've been substantially more wealthy.
Wrong people for Ann Margaret... not for Elvis .. .. after all .. it was his choice .. if he had an Margaret's people around him ... he wold have been a different person .. . She was famous but .. her plan dint achive the same success did it ? These people weren't

I suppose that contributed some what to Elvis being Elvis.

I think this i horrible they need to let him Rip
Elvis had so many of these hangers-on around him. Sad.
He wanted them there though. It was his choice
The deviant wanted them around so he could secretly film them having sex in his property and add to his collection. They found 2 way mirrors, secret passages, and hidden cameras all over Graceland and the tapes he made of his family, friends and employees which was a federal crime. He was gay too. Everything about the degenerate was a lie
Elvis helped a whole lot of people with money , and never got anything for it, and I am glad that some of his "Memphis mafia" group mentioned the good that Elvis did. I think Elvis appreciated loyality and unfortunately some were not loyal
@diankreczmer6595 and his good and generosity out weighed any bad.... Elvis had a lot of stress also .. he carried so much on himself....
I just heard on utube that red and sonny west did not attend elvis's funeral and if they had they were not welcome after writing their book😮
I always thought these guys got nerve . It looks to me like Elvis to good care of them cause not one of them look like they skipped any meals!
Oh boy, damn, unreal. Funny, about all these horror stories about Elvis, they are hard for us fans to just swallow. I guess, sometimes, it's just better not to know. One thing is for sure, the man worked his ass off to provide for a whole lot of people. Rest now ol' Hoss, rest.
The same could be said for biden... . .. I'm not wishing to cast negativity on elvsi he certainly wS not run of the mill or ordinary ... he did what very few have done.. then again so did hitler.... as a passing thought... realize that .. it's the nobody's the mediocre that make some people special.. .. weird thought yes .. but have you ever lived where the weather is always nice ? . The opposite of anything is equally Important...
I like those southern guys, they know how to fight and handle things
Gus W it’s definitely more so of a southern thing, not that there isn’t other parts of the us that can fight obviously
Except during wars you mean then they get their asses stomped.
Except in the ring, the cage the mat and they seem to need weapons and six to one numerical superiority in fighting black dudes. Other than that I guess they are ok. I never had trouble beating them in any format.
@@deejin25 What a foolish thing to say. You're a legend in your own mind.

Yall know what i dont understand.is everyone knew Elvis had a twisted colon.or so many feet of twisted colon. Why was surgery nver done on this.this could of saved his life. And He would of felt so much better an may have lived longer .I know He is up in Heaven now with his daughter.an his mama. I will Love Him Foreva

I can tell that Sonny was still very emotionally hurt by Elvis hitting him after all of these years.
Yes he is. Elvis was not himself on those damn drugs
Well Sonny was also one of the guys that wrote the book about Elvis telling the world about his problems at a time when there was no help for those certain problems and those kind of problems were very looked down upon. I think they wanted to ruin him. And if it wasn’t Elvis they were talking about, they would have. He died 10 days after the book the came out. Some of them are trash
@@KittyKittyBangBang249 EP was very tender and I bet that book truly bothered him. It is not a book to write or at least to write with him alive.
@@KittyKittyBangBang249 True. Everyone wanted a piece of him. There was a lot of infighting and jealousy within the Memphis Mafia.
I got to meet Sonny once and spoke with him briefly. I said, “I bet it was a lot of fun being around Elvis.” He said, “It was at first.
Before the drugs. After he was on drugs, Elvis was very explosive in a fraction of a second.”
Sonny said that when Elvis was in a bad mood at Graceland, that one could feel the tension even without seeing him.
Red and sunny are wrong that’s right Elvis had every right to get mad at his security people that he was paying and supporting what their house is their car as they are there to do a job it’s easy to see how they would stop that nonsense go get the drunk lady out of the theater or away from the front rows
and if he’s upset when he comes off the stage she has every right to say that to read and to sunny or to anyone that was there to do a job.
And that’s right read should not have said what was I supposed to do read should’ve done what he was supposed to do
I don't get the vibe that this is about old friends trashing Elvis, more like just telling a darker side of a man who had terrible responsibility and crippling addictions that hurt instead of helped.
Elvis was completely controled by the drugs he was hooked on
Disloyal hangers on
They got a free ride for years, now they talking mess, backstabbers
actually every person on the panel is dead. I do agree that it was wrong writing a book, but Elvis didn't treat them with the greatest respect either. Before someone says, "look at what he bought them," or, "look at their fame they had bc of Elvis..." THAT IS NOT RESPECT.
@@AdrianEmbrey1979 doesn't matter what he did or didn't do for them, he's dead and can't defend himself, it's disgusting of them to trash Elvis like they did
Elvis was unhappy.
Sonny West talking about "EGO"...
He is as sorry a man that ever lived. Gopher.
And funny how they are all telling stories in front of a bunch of Elvis posters on the wall.
Unfortunately Elvis had a serious problem with controlled substances and if anyone has ever struggled with addiction you can completely understand the ups and downs, the terrible sleep patterns and Unfortunately the weight gain!! I love Elvis and completely feel for the life he had to manage. 💔. Miss him 😢
Family members can attest to the effects of their loved ones that are addicted. You see the personality changes and it's heartbreaking!
Elvis always had an attitude he had it from his mother
@@AnneliesRosseel narcotics make it 100X worse..
Same. 🌹
I think that Charlie Hodge, Jerry Shilling and George Klein were the best friends to Elvis. He was a beautiful person inside and out. I don't care what they say about Elvis I still love him and miss him ❤ and Elvis is still the best entertainer of all time ♥
Those 3 were just yes men.
He became so very broken hearted...god bless him
You know now I see these guys talking against Elvis right now. After Elvis carried him all this time their whole life. That they want to talk I was down. That was a kick the s*** out of every one of those guys. And karate wasn't just new in the 60s been around for quite a while Bruce Lee was kicking ass in the 60s. Ip Man kicking ass kung fu. Elvis is just talked about it. He was not a master. These guys are a bunch of chumps and this seems like it's these guys telling these horrible stories against Elvis. If Elvis was alive today they wouldn't be talking s***. Yeah and halftime Elvis is probably screwed up on some kind of medication.
Ahhh yes.... the mafia boys. The truth tellers. 🤣
But they remained on his payroll..
Poor Elvis...these stories dont sound like those of caring friends...I actually dont like listening ....too bad for them amd they seem to be trashing the 1 person who supported them for a loooong time..not good
I agree. It's for the money.
It was might have had a temper but this is just my opinion the way he worked he probably always had a lot of tension on him he's pulled from north south east to west he have a daughter he have to think about he has a wife or ex-wife he has to think about he has the girls to think about he has to watch different people to make sure they're not stealing his money I'm pretty sure he had a reason to be tested all the time the man was tired too tired to even go to the doctor for his health
If these guys were elvis's friends who needs enemies.
Elvis was badass, not the typical pretty boy popstar.
Elvis was about that life 💯💯💯 he was even more about it if you pissed him off.
Why are they butchering a dead man that can't defend himself Elvis carried these guys for decades and they loved every bit of it.
because after 20 years of service, they've have been fired By vernon Presley, with a letter. Elvis did no fire them himself
Seems Elvis didn't like being told no. He may have lived longer if he listened to people saying you need to eat healthy, change your diet and stop being a megalomaniac. Or maybe they felt it was easier just to let him have his way.
God bless and R.I.P Elvis Presley 🙏🏻
These guys used the CRAP out of him!….
What else would these clowns have done if they didn't have a job for Elvis? They have become famous as security guards! I can't watch this, anymore!
Damn right the guy should have said “sorry Elvis I’ll get security to handle a situation like that next time” Then he acts like Elvis is out of line
It wasn't unusual for a girl to throw a scarf on Elvis, that night he was just annoyed and his friend didn't know.
Wow! It is amazing that Elvis never got into some real trouble in some of the things Elvis did and got away with.
Shot officer Tippett in Dallas
Jennifer Myers you really have issues. If you hate him so much get off the site.
@@jennifermyers66 I never heard that before, what happened lol?
@@lilacflower9032 she recounts one episode of Elvis shooting someone and you get your panties in a bunch and say she has "issues" and accuse her of "hating" Elvis??? I think you should take a long look in the mirror and maybe you'll see who it may be with the issues.
He got away with it because he was Elvis,
ELVIS 😇 ❤️ was a GIVER 💵🤑💰
You can beleive anything someone says, but the truth is we will never know the truth, these guys added to there stories to some extend I believe, and they also had a choice they could have left Elvis if they wanted to. If they spoke of anyone else that way they would have been fired...Let Elvis rest in peace...
I can see them speaking the truth since theirs his TV with a bullet hole. Priscilla once said if he sees someone he hates on tv. He takes his gun and shoots them (at the TV). He was known to have anger issues and rightfully so with the amount of stress he dealt with back to back shows couple hours of sleep and subscription drugs, etc.
Elvis is ALIVE! He is resting just fine and he made it right with these men and his Father! He is alive because of his bloodline. He is alive because he escaped the evil satanic cabal. Long story. You’ll find out SQQN enough. Not only is Elvis ALIVE, but so is his twin brother who was sent to another place to be raised by family members to keep him safe. The bloodlines of the DRUZE, the bloodline of Noah, Abraham and Seth and Christ! God bless and sending love and light. 🙏🏻♥️🇺🇸
@@kay8698 Elvis said to his hairdresser they stopped hanging out with him and made him feel like a piece of meat so I don't believe him for being like that the man needed friends, not friendly snakes who just wanted money.
I wonder where that internal anger came from at that level. Everything I've read about him, he didn't seem to be like that when he was younger. Had to be the drugs. He seemed like he was a genuinely good guy by all accounts.
That's your buddies Elvis ... stirring up a storm , running their mouth for money , without you here to give us your side of the story ! Rip
I'll tell you what I see. I see a man, dead almost fifty years, unable to defend himself, I see people STILL making money off his name, his music, his fame, his essence. Sorry Elvis, sorry you had such "great" friends. Just so you folks out there understand, Red, Sonny, and Dave, all dead, in their greedy state, published the Elvis smear book 14 days before he died. For money. Angry because he fired them. They did not quit. Always two sides to every story. Y'all go ahead Elvis, rest.
Ur nuts. These guys loved him.
I dont think ANY human being is more exploited than Elvis Presley. He dies on the toilet reading a psychic porno book. I think he was taken out this way or many people would worship him. I find that candle light ceremony too weird. I heard they are even charging to see the meditation garden. TACKY.
What's sad is according to linda, he didn't even really fire them. He told his dad vernon to give them 3 months pay before red and sonny could come back but not dave. Vernon however fired them with 1 days notice and 3 days pay i believe
Mood swings and temper came from frustration and demands from others. Elvis had a lot on his plate and too many crossing the line, these guys may have loved him but there was too much ego here.
@@Maria-z3mp sad
those guys loved Elvis cause he was RICH and famous
@@kay8698 some knew him before he was rich and famous
@@lisap3344 and stayed for the money, drugs and girls
@@kay8698 a few knew him before his fame
What did they do to earn a living for themselves?
Er hatte kein einfaches Leben!
Wir haben Alle helle und dunkle Seiten!
Ich liebe Ihn, so wie er war! 🌟💞🌟
It was the drugs
@@jmk0574 NO! It was the tablets!!!!!
He should have fired those gang of tell tale sponges years before he died
Those guys were just using Elvis for his money,
You don't have a Clue buddy. No clue
At
This time these guys were angry and on their way out because they couldn’t understand Elvis’s struggles, nobody can change anyone , we can only bring awareness, Elvis was a strong man and
Didn’t want
To be told what
To do or how to do .
There not true friends telling all his secrets and all his stories in a book and mood swings. They were doing the drugs 2
The real guys. They were there. they saw it all. They know. I’m glad they tell.
God bless Elvis. I'm sure it was difficult keeping your "friends" around while battling everything he was. I guarantee you that all he wanted to do was to sing to the world all while keeping a low profile and being "normal"
Hey you could have quit. If it weren’t for Elvis red and sonny west would have no work esp’ Red.
Sonny said in a interview that Elvis 😇 ❤️ gave a black female a wheelchair and a lot of money 💰🤑💵
