I was working security at a private art show in midtown Manhatten in the late 90's. Michael Jackson walked passed me and I didn't know that it was him because he was wearing all kinds of scarfs.

I'm 35 years old and I absolutely love Elvis presley. His talent was unreal and unmatched. He was and is The King 👑. Greatest of all time. The charisma dropped of him. Legend. The film did it justice and that film and Austin had massive shoes to fill.
Michael Jackson wrote most of his own hits. Prince was another more talented song writer. You should be comparing Elvis' popularity, not his talent. Way more talented artist out there. Elvis had a voice.

Elvis Presley and Michael Jackson weren't songwriters. MJ contributed to some allegedly but I believe it was put on the album but he paid them to put it on. If he did do songwriting he wouldn't of had no money
@@dondamon4669 Uh this is wrong lol. Michael Jackson was a composer and songwriter. Billie Jean, for example, was written entirely by him.

Can we all take a moment for the idea of Michael Jackson playing Batman & Prince is the Joker? lmao fun fact for any new Prince fans, he actually did music for the Jack Nicholson Batman movie in 1989. Prince would've actually looked cool as the Joker, he cosplays as a form of the Joker mixed with two-face in his videos "Batdance" & "Partyman" cool stuff! 😉
MJ & Prince were like Batman & Joker in real life.. personality wise. Prince had a love/hate for MJ like Joker had for Batman. But they were closer friends than people know. The kind of friends who admired each other but also got a great kick when the other failed. But when the allegations hit, Prince was having none of it & would not tolerate any MJ slander by reporters or associates. He really stood up for him.
Jon Peters and Streisand met Elvis in Vegas in 1975, not 1976. Really classy of Peters commenting that Elvis «was so fat he couldn’t sit in a chair». I’ve always wondered why people have this urge to put other people down. If Peters «loved Elvis» as he says, why on earth would he be so tactless towards him..?
Elvis wanted to do the movie "A. Star is Born"... He wanted to be taken seriously as an actor and he wanted to get into acting to break up the monotony of touring the same places...He met with Barbara and Jon and discussed what making the movie would entail...Elvis and Barbara both decided that they both needed to drop 20 pounds before filming started... They agreed to spend 30 days in a " fat farm" as they called it under supervision to lose the weight... Then 30 days promoting the movie, and then 90 days of shooting the film...altogether Elvis and Barbara would spend about 6 months to complete the movie... Elvis's guys were excited The guys said they hardly slept after Elvis gave them the good news... The next morning Red West came in Graceland and Elvis was looking dejected and sad and Red asked if he was alright and Elvis said he was okay...Red asked what the colonel thought about doing the film...Elvis said the colonel said that they don't need to do the movie at this time... The truth was that Elvis had second thoughts about doing the movie because he would have to lay off the pills and no guns allowed at the fat farm...Elvis asked the colonel to kill the deal so the colonel did...He asked for more money and top billing and that killed the deal... Everyone thought the colonel was to blame but Elvis wanted out of the movie deal so the colonel got him out... That's what really happened...
@@oliverclothesoff3219 I got the information from an interview that was done by Sonny West who is sitting there with red west when Elvis made the decision that he was going to do the movie and then had the colonel kill the deal and still leave Elvis with his dignity intact in front of the guys...
I believe it ain't gonna work and somehow they will fuck it up. Who can play MJ? And, the guy had a 40 years of a career...you cant put that in one film.
I am looking forward to Lisa Marie Presley's book I pre ordered and is coming out in October. She of course had a lot to say about Elvis, and Michael. She was with each for 9 years! If I was writing that book and had that life I would call it "My Two Kings."
I’ve never been a big Elvis fan but I think the new Elvis movie is really incredible, though definitely not for everyone. And Austin Butler probably deserves the best actor Oscar
If you remember the basic the plot of "A Star is Born" - two musicians fall in love - the woman is an unknown who quickly becomes a star & the guy is a seasoned pro who spiral downwards as his lady rises to the top - it would have been fascinating to see Elvis in that film (who was at that time was fat, drug-addicted, and in trouble) and in a perfect world, I would love to see that film with Elvis. That would have been a comeback more epic than Brendan Fraser's current comeback had Elvis took that role.
If he would’ve done that film, guaranteed Elvis’ pride would not have let him show up on the screen like that. IF he would’ve done it, he would’ve pulled himself together and worked on himself. It was imo the absolute perfect plot and movie for Elvis. I so wish he would’ve done it
Having worked within the heart of film industry Jon Peters is one of the big ones. He definitely knows these people. He’s a massive producer or was. I think he’s retired now.
I always wonder how somebody grows up to end up in a position like this guy. You'd have to have really supportive parents or be a genius to know what you want to do so early in life. Or just live in Hollywood and your friends dad is a movie guy. Who knows.
The Elvis movie gave me chills.. As an 8 year old watching Elvis movies, i never cared about plot or dramatic scenes.. Elvis got the girl, won the fight, and beat up the guy who wanted the girl..Elvis was Batman, except he was the first real life supehero. At 12 years old seeing him at Madison Square Garden in 1972. I knew there was a God.. it wasn't Elvis, but after seeing Elvis, I knew there had to be a God.. He changed my life forever.. The new Baz movie gave me chills..
Elvis probably more so than Michael Jackson on a global scale but Michael Jackson was probably the last big cultural music star. I cannot think of anybody else.
Makes sense this guy said he usta lie a lot!! He met Elvis in the beginning of 1974, when Elvis was in no way fat, plus even in the end in 1977 Elvis was only 50 or 60 1bs overweight he was never actually that fat but the jump suits could be unflattering to any middle aged man plus he used to get pretty bloated in yhe face due to water retention.
@@scottjenkins3095 Ya thats right, I actually meant 1975. I have a cd with some songs from that show. But my point is Elvis was never ever 100 1bs overweight.
This show was absolutely mad, this guy went crazy talking about getting shot in a gang fight and leaping naked onto home invaders while packing heat, training with Chuck Norris and what not else. Wildly entertaining tho. Legend. ✌️
@DARKO Yee man, me too, especially because you can see that Rogan knows his full of shit, but just loves and accepts him for who he is. You gotta be nuts to be a big film guy I guess. ✌️😂
Yes Elvis introduced the Jackson 5 at a show & they later met at the hotel too. Lisa Marie tells the story. That was the first time she met MJ. She was a fan of the Jackson 5 & would go to their shows.
What a lucky stiff. Imagine meeting two icons. Two legends. Two incredibly riddled drug-addicts in one lifetime. Damn. The Gods are shining down on you JP. 😉
The basic element of Elvis' daily food intake was a 30-cm long bread roll, stuffed with bacon, peanut butter and strawberry jam. Each one had 42,000 calories, and in his final days, he ate two of them per day, together with little midnight snacks of hamburgers and deep-fried white bread.
Joe’s episodes are all about 3 hours long, but if he likes you and it’s flowing it will go longer. Shorter episodes are a red flag. This one is especially short 🚩
They asked Elvis to do the movie in 1974. Elvis wasn’t near 100 pounds overweight at that point. It was Col. Parker making outrageous demands that kept Elvis from being in the movie.
@@whs-waterfox7034 The movie came out in 1976, however, the role was offered to Elvis in 1974, they really wanted him to do it, but his manager made too many demands and Elvis was very disappointed when he didn't get to do it. ....he would have been brilliant
I read all the books written by the Memphis Mafia and the consensus is the same... after a midnight show in Vegas, Streisand and Peters met with Elvis and offered him the role and he was excited to do it. After he thought on it a while, he got cold feet. When he wanted to get out of something, he'd have the Colonel demand something outrageous. So, the Colonel demanded top billing, one million in salary, $100,000 in expenses, 50% of gross profits, and a separate deal for soundtrack rights... to which they said, "Nah."
I don't necessarily trust the M. mafia on everything they say...that's for sure. The story as told by Priscilla I believe (she remained extremely close with Elvis right up to the last days---they often talked for hours), said that Elvis wanted to do it but the Colonel didn't get along with Barbara at all...and the demands he made were unreasonable.
Well “copied” in the sense MJ was fascinated by the makeup transformation into the werewolf & wanted to do that for Thriller. So he called John Landis & Rick baker, the director & make up artist of the movie to make Thriller with a similar transformation. It’s a well known story that John Landis speaks about.
yeah people used to remain seated at music gigs and then elvis came along and people just exploded and couldn't contain them self's, local sherrif departments tried to get him banned or arrested because elvis was having such an affect on people that authorities didn't know how to deal with it....frellin brilliant if you ask me and thank god for elvis otherwise we might all still be sat in chairs tapping our fingers & toes
Michael backed out? No way, pretty sure Prince would have backed out first. Michael always wanted to work with Prince more than the other way round. Prince said no to being in 'Bad' because he didn't want to be in a song where Michael would sing 'your butt is mine' directed at him nor did he want to sing that line the other way round.
I’m Fascinated by anyone that ever met Elvis. So many stages to his life. So many stories.

Mr. Peters(his real name is Jon Bairo)was my first kiss! 1959 @ a junior high pool party in Encino! You never forget your first 💋!
Elvis Presley, The King
And Ali, The Greatest ✊✊👊👏
no offense Elvis is great, but Michael is better way better
The basic element of Elvis' daily food intake was a 30-cm long bread roll, stuffed with bacon, peanut butter and strawberry jam. Each one had 42,000 calories, and in his final days, he ate two of them per day, together with little midnight snacks of hamburgers and deep-fried white bread.
🤣🤣 So much BS in one comment. Unbelievable. 🤣🤣
Joe’s episodes are all about 3 hours long, but if he likes you and it’s flowing it will go longer. Shorter episodes are a red flag. This one is especially short 🚩
For Love, Truth, God
I've always wanted to know how one becomes a producer.
Money
They asked Elvis to do the movie in 1974. Elvis wasn’t near 100 pounds overweight at that point. It was Col. Parker making outrageous demands that kept Elvis from being in the movie.
The movie was made in 1976. So………😕
@@whs-waterfox7034 The movie came out in 1976, however, the role was offered to Elvis in 1974, they really wanted him to do it, but his manager made too many demands and Elvis was very disappointed when he didn't get to do it. ....he would have been brilliant
@@whs-waterfox7034 whatever you say….
@@livewithnick
I say whatever’s………..factual. 🫤
which proves Elvis was a puppet.
Amazing stories love hearing stories!
MJ the GOAT
agree
Jon Peters life could be a type of movie like Wolf on Wall St
Dude…this was one of the most interesting, funny, insightful interviews in a long time. That’s why I love Rohan…he just let this guy talk
I could see Col. Parker stopping Elvis. Elvis was stopped from doing the Defiant Ones with Sammy Davis Jnr.
I read all the books written by the Memphis Mafia and the consensus is the same... after a midnight show in Vegas, Streisand and Peters met with Elvis and offered him the role and he was excited to do it. After he thought on it a while, he got cold feet. When he wanted to get out of something, he'd have the Colonel demand something outrageous. So, the Colonel demanded top billing, one million in salary, $100,000 in expenses, 50% of gross profits, and a separate deal for soundtrack rights... to which they said, "Nah."
I don't necessarily trust the M. mafia on everything they say...that's for sure. The story as told by Priscilla I believe (she remained extremely close with Elvis right up to the last days---they often talked for hours), said that Elvis wanted to do it but the Colonel didn't get along with Barbara at all...and the demands he made were unreasonable.
@@mbrights3158 Priscilla is a liar. Elvis backed out, the Colonel took the hit.
I love thriller! Crazy to hear that story 😮
Well “copied” in the sense MJ was fascinated by the makeup transformation into the werewolf & wanted to do that for Thriller. So he called John Landis & Rick baker, the director & make up artist of the movie to make Thriller with a similar transformation. It’s a well known story that John Landis speaks about.
This was a stellar episode
Jon Peters must of gone to the Joey Coco Diaz school of story fabrication
He has a ton of stories but it seems like everyone has a funny John Peters story 😂
Joe "WOW" Rogan
Just read your comment as Joe let out the final word of this clip "WOW" 😂
I never seen this guy. But I have seen his movies.
Jon Peters is a legend in his own mind. 🙄
Thanks a lot Mom
hahaha, the guy has no filter at all
Elvis was never 100 pounds overweight, maybe 50 at the most toward the end. Elvis should have done this movie. Could have changed history.
I really enjoyed this episode.
This guy just made me realize that rich people are nucking futs as well. I thought it was just poor crazies around my business.
yeah people used to remain seated at music gigs and then elvis came along and people just exploded and couldn't contain them self's, local sherrif departments tried to get him banned or arrested because elvis was having such an affect on people that authorities didn't know how to deal with it....frellin brilliant if you ask me and thank god for elvis otherwise we might all still be sat in chairs tapping our fingers & toes
Now imagine if it was a black man having that effect on white women.. what they would do to him. That’s what they did to MJ. A literal witch hunt.
This podcast needs a big spider
Wouldve been nice to have an extra min longer convo was getting good
Did Rogan ask Peters about the giant spider in the full interview? I'm intrigued....
Eddie Bravo said this guy never met Elvis 🤔
Yea well I bet Jon would say he beat Eddie in a secret bjj match on the Antarctic peninsula in 1992 if you told him that.
You should see this dude in "The Death of Superman Lives, What Happened?"
After Gabor we have the ultimate reverse. Ego , me me me I’m great… ughh
Is this the same jon peters that told kevin smith to include a spider in kevin smiths superman movie
I imagine this guy being like the dude who beat up Solomon Richards from GTA 5 back in the day 😂
Still a cool great video with a great story
Michael backed out? No way, pretty sure Prince would have backed out first. Michael always wanted to work with Prince more than the other way round. Prince said no to being in 'Bad' because he didn't want to be in a song where Michael would sing 'your butt is mine' directed at him nor did he want to sing that line the other way round.
What a guy!
