John was big here in Australia....I remember being in my early teens in the 80s and being introduced to his music, seeing this reminded me of how good his songs were.
What a distinctive voice--which is just as important as anything else in becoming a popular--or legendary singer.All the great ones could claim that quality.
I saw Johnny at the township auditorium not too many years ago ...It was on a whim that I went .. parked my car on the street & went to visit the 80s once more ...it felt good ..& cool ..yea I was smiling ..
Mr. John Mellencamp made the midwestern anthems of America. Nobody was cooler. Thank you!
yea he was something else .. anyone can see that ..
@@redskywalker3374 And really SOMEONE else. He destroyed himself (and his voice) with chain smoking, and just a sour bitter personality
Couldn’t agree more
Nobody IS cooler
He’s been called the simple man’s singer songwriter. But to say it better. He’s the simple minded man’s singer songwriter.
It’s always great to see the musicians that have played with him for years. Says something about loyalty.
Yep, in spite of all the abuse they had to take to hang onto their jobs, per "Mellencamp", by Paul Rees.
@@trade0714 I.love Johnthanku
And friendships
Pink houses, one of the best songs of all time.
I agree tells about small town america wish i could have seen him in his early days
@@kevinhaley6776I saw him in his early days - first time - 1986 - much better with his original band
“peaceful world” we definitely need to hear that today
SCARECROW....Nothing more IMPORTANT
How could you NOT know "J&D" was going to be an instant classic😮
John's song, "I need a lover" is my personal favorite.
I'd say that's his best song
Love the long intro….
John Mellencamp is a legend great music
Smoking isn’t too smart
@@SSNESS depends on your genetics really...
He’s one of my favorites. He’s such a badass singer and writer!!!! He tells stories!!!!
he's the best.. as he ages I think his voice is very sexy ! thank you for continuing to share your talent with us
John mellencamp carved a unique musical career

He's magic
Me too😊
A good buddy of mine played for seven years for John. I have also met Mikey, Andy, Miriam, Jon G, Moe Z, and Dane.
John has written so many great songs, he is a true legend.
He’s amazing song writer, telling the stories of life as we see it.
America's best individual song writer by far 🇺🇸
Not Dylan? Mellencamp will tell you that
You could tell he had so much less enthusiasm about the older songs. Probably sang them a million times. What a voice.
hurts so good underrated
Love this dude’s music and moral conviction. Respect
Have to say his voice is fantastic here. 🤘🏻🤘🏻
Smoking plastic
Everything. John. Sang. Is. Just. Phenomenal. One. Of. A. Kind. Voice .
What a great singer songwriter !! I’m from Indiana and am also a singer songwriter also one thing is about John he really put out the hits !! 👍👏👏👏😊🎤🎸🎸
John is always cool. Great songwriter and makes great conscious songs and albums
What a great voice
The songs that most resonated with me and mirrored my life was A Little Night Dancin & Sugar Marie
I saw him in concert many years ago. Was fabulous!!!
Peaceful World is a great song.
Do forget John had his first No 1 here in Australia. The song I want a Lover and we all down here wanted to be his Lover. 🎼❤️🇦🇺❤️🇺🇸🕺🏻💃🎸☘️
Grew up with all of your songs , you rock
Mr. cougar!

What an INCREDIBLE Talent Mellencamp is (and Howard too)
This is so great! Just part of the "musical web" of my life. Bravo Mr. Mellencamp!
Truly an artist
Smoking and singing he is a legend done
His voice is soo good here. Wow.
Scarecrow very underrated album
Underrated it's a classic!!
It is definitely one of my favorite albums of all time!
It wasnt tho ! He finally received critical acclaim for that album
I think Scarcrow is his best effort and I saw that tour!!!
One of my favorite artists. This is Awesome.
Mellencamp is soul, rock `n roll soul
One of the top wordsmiths EVER!!!
Great music. John is a true singer and writer. 🏴☠️
We love our John Mellencamp...Proud of him in Indiana...He's the best..Also love Howard Stern.
Love his voice!!! Worried about the smoking however! Hope he has a long life!!!
Still sounds amazing. Wow 👍
You do know this was over 20 years ago🤣😉
This was filmed in 2001
Sadly, his voice is poor now. He can barely croak out his songs now.
Fookin amazing
Awesome! John sounds and looks great.
This was 20 years ago but he’s still got it
Damn I could jam to this all night
Pink Houses is such a good tune
Saw John Mellencamp on the Scarecrow Tour 1985 with Heart opening band. Great show.
Back when talent existed
Saw him a few years ago at the Greek Theatre and he was fantastic. Purchased a drumhead signed by him.
Thank you Howard this is a nice escape. Mellencamp rocks
My 1st record album purchase as a youngster was John Cougar American Fool 🤘🏻🤘🏻
John...what a legend💚
All great songs--I bought his albums without a thought.I remember "Pink Houses" on MTV non-stop(when they were watchable.)
Absolutely the best!!
John is an American treasure most unlikely rock star ever his own words!!
Agree
Exactly what I️ need
Where would we be without John mellencamp
I love the acoustic versions they are spot on. Some of my favorite versions of songs are on Howard stern.
He sounds great!
He sounds really good to me!
name 5 artist in the last 15 years that can hold a candle to this....
Beautiful voice.
John Mellencamp sings about the America that all the true patriots miss and long for..
So much love and memories
JM's anthems are tattooed in the souls of every American that loves this country.
Jingoism is unbecoming. I appreciate my country and I love JCM.
These songs are fantastic....great voice
An American treasure… 👍🏻
Greatest songwriter ever
I think this is John’s most revealing of himself and his art of music interview
This was so good
So good
john's one of the only people that Howard let smoke in studio.
Love him! So much talent and good looking too! Lol❤
Hitched 150 miles to see him and the Wilson sisters.
respect❤❤
Two big loads, Stern and Mellencamp.
Great stuff! Before John's voice was shot.
Light up , crazy.
Ate up his music growing up.
How many performers are willing to sing without a monitor? His talent is evident.
Loved this!
LOVE J> MELLENCAMP TUNES
Nothing to say,I lOVE it
Love his music.
Awesome... Thank you ♥️
Along with Dylan and Springsteen, he tells the REAL story of America.
Don't forget Bob Seger
@@WhiteRussianBCSeger once was. But he became cheesy and mediocre in the 80s
And Tom Petty.
Awesome 👍
This is about to have me smoking. The rings.
An american classic singer/ songwriter. I want that sunburst guitar
Love that voice 👍
Love you sweetie so much talent ❤
Yes,thank you 🎶🎶🎶🎶♥️
