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 !
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
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 !
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.
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.
This guy should've just slowly darkened his screen until he disappeared.
LOL
Senior writer too, looks like he just graduated high school 😆

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.
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!
Legends! Iggy is The Godfather of Punk. Declan is one of THE best songwriters the UK has produced
What a great podcast. Elvis and Iggy appreciating each other.
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 this interview is great, but Rolling Stone is crap.
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
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.
The duo you never knew you needed!! Love these two.💚💚
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
Two icons chatting with one another. Perfection.
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.
Hey Elvis, shut up. I barely made it to Iggy's time to speak. lol There's a guy who has been told he is a genius for forty years and it shows. PS - The Pistols weren't a good band or a shit band - they are a great band - that single album did more to change music than Costello's entire output. And for the better.
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 ...
Good talk but a little one-sided. Would have liked to hear Iggy at least 40% more.
I love Elvis but he talks too much. Love Iggy too. This was great
I 've seen Spectacle and I know what you're saying, but I would not be surprised if Iggy was glad that Elvis was steering the ship if you know what i mean.
Kudos to Andy Greene for letting these two guys talk. Good call.
Free rider, Paycheck for nothing. Ever seen that before?
"more about space less about decorating a guitar riff"
If That's Elvis short version of first meeting Iggy, how long is the long one?
He's never shied away from hanging a tale -- especially one starring himself.
He is A .....McMannus.....
After All.....
you arent impressed that he remembered all the details of a meet that happened over 40 years ago?
Without "Raw Power" and "MY Aim Is True" 90% of my record/CD collection would NOT exist!
Ended too abruptly. Could have watched another 2 hours of that
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
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.
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 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
Wow Ross and Rachel have really not aged well :P Jokes pair of legends and so humble, love em
"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 ;)
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
Iggy looks younger than Elvis. And Elvis looks pretty good!
Iggy is eternal!
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’ .
😎👍
Thank you, so very much. This was one of the most fun and interesting interviews , I’ve watched ever. Love it!
Iggy and Elvis, two great guys! They're definitely not showing their mileage. 😊👍🏻
Why did they cut it off? Why don't they just keep going like a Joe Rogan podcast until it reaches it's mutually agreed natural ending point? This is the internet! Rolling Stone are such dinosaurs they still treat it like it is TV and they have "limited air time." WTF. And they're not fooling anyone by getting a "young whipper snapper" to "host the show" as they don't even realise they don't need a "host" in the first place (as was painfully evident here).
Kudos to the kid for keeping his interruptions to the minimum, although it was already distracting to see him looking down at his list of questions and anxiously looking for a pause in the conversation to destroy the flow with his superfluous mandated interruptions to justify his existence to his Brontosaurus Boss at RS HQ. Actually, he did a very good job, in that he was almost not there at all.
I think it's all because this was going to be a part of the magazine, so they had to keep it short and moderated to fit in all the conversations, along with the album reviews and other stuff. They're a magazine company, and the only reason they have a UA-cam channel is to lure you to their website or to get you to subscribe to the 'zine. I also don't think they care too much about being up to the times so much as they care about keeping their numbers up. It's a business after all. Besides, this was never supposed to be like a podcast; it's just the bait to hook you into their stuff.
Ahh Iggy mentioned the holy trinity, Davies, Murray, and Alomar.
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...
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.
Sooo much insight on the biz and "scene" of 70's to 90's. Great!
Iggy strangely resembles my ex-wife...
..signed Brad Pitt
Brilliant
😂😆😂

Elvis has a little Canadian accent seeping in now. Stuck at home with Diana K and that mirror neuron hitting hard I’m sure
@ldyson22 yes about 5 km from my parents’ home on Vancouver Island
@ldyson22 yes and grew up listening to him in the 80’s. Was shocked when he married Diana Krall, who I went to high school with. Now people have Elvis sightings there...at the pharmacy, buying a pair of shoes. Not a big deal but just a funny twist of fate
I want to know if Elvis' ankles ever recovered from the filming of the "Pump it up" video.
Funny...
Riight??
no doubt that was some ankle busting moves
I broke an ankle and I just can't watch that clip, makes my guts churn
@@Antipodean33 Lol! I bet.
Iggy Pop, the thinking man's thinking man.
Let Iggy Talk Elvis
How can you not adore these guys?
This interviewer is third wheeling hard.
He does a good job: lets the guests speak, and when appropriate asks a pertinent question to keep the conversation flowing.
He did fine.
I don't want to hear an interviewer talking AT people this is fine let the subjects talk
He did fine. Stop hating yourself so much
Didn’t Iggy say once that music critics don’t like him but they like Elvis cuz he looks like one of them?
I’m all weepy...the only good thing about 2020. These 2 legends swapping road stories.
Both wearing the same glasses ......lol.....
Costello didn't come clean "when" he became aware of the Stooges which was the question , ....would be a "shame" when he had to admitt
"not earlier than '77" ......
"Elvis" was ofcourse cool till '79 ....after that he became part of the bloody bbc tea time crowd...🥱
All this moaning about the horrible circumstances during which they recorded their best work......thank god for the overal change where now they both sound like thirteen a dozen . "Sun Arise" ? ..."Quay Lewd", what fucking band was *that* ?... The Tubes maybe ? 🖐🥴
The effing nerve to call yerself "Elvis".....
Iggy, one of the Best! Just listened to the Stooges Raw Power today!
Just getting into them on Spotify now. Love 1969!!
that moderator is as obsolete and rolling stone itself. perfect metaphor.
Iggy is a National treasure!
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.
Two of the coolest musicians in the world.
How come Iggy looks much younger than Costello when he’s 7 years older!
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.
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.
Its nice to see that Tom from my space landed on his feet.
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.
Re-edit this and get rid of the kid in the middle. Please

IF you are a Stooges Fan and live in the Queens NY area: The first time they played in NY was Summer of 1969 at the Singer Bowl which was the concert area that was built for the World's Fair in 1964/65. They played with the MC-5. (with MC-5 as the FIRST BILLED on the ads) Can you even IMAGINE ? I was only in 2nd Grade , and in the 'burbs so I could not make it. LOL . I can only wonder - how many people were that aware in 1969 that the Stooges even existed ? Mind blowing.
Iggy Pop finally looks old as fuck. Still looks healthier physically and seems healthier mentally than I am at 35.
42:55 the song he mentions is "Sun Arise" by Rolf Harris! Never knew Alice Cooper did that one, would love to see.
43:40 Iggy's talking about San Francisco's own THE TUBES !!! The singer was Fee Waybill but he would do part of the show (including the song mentioned "White Punks on Dope") as Quay Lude, a parody of a sleazy degenerate rock star.
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.
Iggy.... Ramones, CBGB"s.... Hey, gobba, gobba hey.... Iggy looks like he's ready for a triathlon... 50 years ago.... not so much! Your looking good brother, happy to see your doing great!
There's something that happens to the human body if one makes it through decades of heavy drug use. I look at Iggy and Bowie and Jagger etc... and they have this surprisingly fit kind of stringy body that one only gets after severe chemical abuse. It's some kind of marvel of biology that I'm currently attempting to achieve. If I don't overdose I'll be one sexy octogenarian.
@@acetate909 Strait up!... Elvis looks good too... his Wife Diane Krall... hell, she always looked real good! Watching this interview today, took me back several decades... it brought back alot of good times with some incredible friends, many that have already moved on... this made my heart feel good!
@@acetate909 I feel you on your point, but I think we also have to be careful to not glorify or overly romanticize the drug use, and all that very hard living... Let’s not kid ourselves: Bowie would likely still be with us, if not for how hard he was on how body with cocaine; same with Lou and heroin and speed use, and we could go down a laundry list of other artists who aren’t with us largely bc of what the drugs did to their bodies (not to mention the ones who did NOT make it through to live onto becoming elder statespersons of rock n roll). Also, we gotta contextualize people like Mick, Keith, Iggy, (Bowie before death), and several others who went through hard drug addiction, and be clear that these are folks with lots of money, who could/did/do put a lot of cash into healthy living, and could/can afford a type of rehabilitation (not in a formal sense necessarily) and recovery and super healthy lifestyle that the overwhelming majority of people who descend into addiction cannot afford once they hit the bottom.. There are many great artists who went through similar hell, and they aren’t doing as well, or looking as well, and a lot of that has to do with finances, and not having a lot of the luxury of options and resources to get healthy and heal so thoroughly (especially talking about people like Mick and Keith who had/have more money than god, and can afford the transfusions and health practices and/or lifestyles that are just not an option for most).
Now, I’m not trying to be a total stick in the mud, don’t get it twisted, I’m not flat out denouncing everything you’re saying, nor am I denouncing drugs, or anything like that. I think the drugs absolutely aided creativity, and the highs and lows of those lifestyles absolutely are inseparable from the production of their art. Hell, there’s no doubt whatsoever in my mind that many of those “dark nights of the soul” lead to the production of some of the greatest art/music that we have, and I wouldn’t want to take that away. I just think it’s important to keep this all in perspective and be very cautious about not crossing a line of understanding and appreciation, over to glorification, or dangerous assumptions about some degree of hedonic turmoil and/or “living on the edge” necessarily being a key to production of great art, or really any specific kind of aesthetic outcomes. It has often worked that way, yes, but it also has often NOT worked that way, and can lead to a lot of pain and misery that one would sooner never have lived, great art be damned.
I’m biased, as a recovering addict living in America where options for help and recovery are slim, as you really gotta have the dough here, and there’s practically no social safety nets or government programs to help people get back on their feet if they fuck up. Also, I remember being a teenager in the early-mid aughts, being obsessed with Jim Morrison, David Bowie, Hunter S. Thompson, Kurt Cobain, and many others who lived fast and hard, whether they died young or not, and that fascination led me to thoroughly nerd out and explore so much great music, but it also lead me to think I needed to experience all the different drugs, or at least most of them (like, I had zero interest in crack, for instance). That’s not an inherently bad thing of course, but a certain romanticized outlook on the 60s and 70s “sex, drugs, and rock ‘n’ roll” lifestyle definitely lead me to excesses I’d sooner have never engaged in... For some of my friends who also had this romantic perspective, they don’t get to look back and think, “boy, that was dumb”, bc they’re dead.
So to wrap this up already: I’m not saying y’all are wrong, I’m not saying drugs are bad (I still dabble, mostly with psychedelics, just not with the hard shit anymore). I’m saying that it’s very important to put all the above into perspective, to properly contextualize these elder statesmen/women, and their experiences, and avoid romanticizing or glorifying the excesses, no matter how great the art those contexts produced. Also, if anyone who reads this at any point is someone caught up in addiction, there’s always hope to escape and recover, as long as you’re still breathing. Just realize that the longer you wait, the more you put it off, the less chance there is, the more likely an early grave awaits, and if you do escape it, the more likely longterm health effects will haunt you.. I’m just trying to provide some extra food for thought, my friends. ✌️❤️🏴🤘
@@acetate909 That would be gym use not drug use that made/make them look muscley. When they were taking drugs they were emaciated looking.If you quit before major damage is done and you can afford the best doctors you can survive. Also Bowie was probably killed by cigarettes not cocaine.
@@freezerjoe Too true.
Bowie smoked 70-80 cigarettes a day for many decades.
Ultimately it was one of the causes of his untimely demise.
When working with two huge cultural icons, maybe keep your face off the screen. Its just inappropriate and distracting. Otherwise, thank you for putting this together.
Hearing his disembodied voice would be far more distracting. I think it’s fine, they gave the stars 99% of the screen time.
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.
Costello referencing Howling Wolf 💕
Eno and Tony Visconti but Lust for Life.
brilliant, two great blokes with some marvellous stories
Elvis costello 👍👍👍
Why is it Brit singers almost always lose their accents when they sing but they are quite apparent when just talking like this?
" Candy" is a great song! I saw Iggy perform it with that girl from the B-52's on The Tonight Show I believe.
Glad David Bowie was able to be with Iggy .David is why I know Iggy.
The moderator wasn't even born yet. He looks totally lost.
and bad camera positioning and bad framing and bad grooming and bad keep your mouth closed so you don't look like a mouth breathering and...
Moderator should not have been involved at all.
Red eyed stoned. Asked the same question twice.
Iggy and Elvis with special guest who's this guy and why's he here?
Yeah. The Idiot introduced me to Iggy and it was a groundbreaking record. Still one of my favourite rock records of all time.
This is pretty ironic how they're all palsy walsy now considering I recently saw a quote from Ig on a Stooges fan page where he made some pretty disparaging remarks about Elvis's music in the 80s...oh well I guess time mellows us all...btw did the little weasel waxer from RS do about 20 bong hits before this interview or what?
I like how the moderator is just in awe- I would be!
Never thought it would be these two having a chat... RS or anywhere else...1
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.
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.
Merry Christmas to you An your Family Iggy An Elvis
Thank you 4 For this interview
i save you from the devil's curse -i was the 667 th liking lol
Drugs did Iggy, not the other way around...his memory is flawless...such great stories...

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.😆
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.
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.
