What do you think of Graceland?
Graceland is cool and interesting, but I think it’s haunted by the ghost of Elvis.
I was there in October. The mansion needs work, the floors creek and that is a safety hazard. That is why no one is allowed upstairs.🙄
PhK
😮
I will go upstairs i really don't care
@@Chadhall1988
I don't know why they have the upstairs blocked off from the public, no one is up there or lives up there
Private or not.
His aunt or someone related to him had a lifetime residency up there but I think she
Passed away yrs ago.
My husband and I visited and toured the estate in 1983. It was a thrill of a lifetime. It was explained to our group that the reason the upstairs was off limits is that Elvis had an Aunt whom still lived on the upstairs floor. (Maybe, maybe not). But the main reason was that millions of visitors would weaken the structure of the staircase and upper floor. Anyway, that's what I remember the guide saying.
Maybe elvis is living up there?
the real answer would have more to do with fire code than anything they claim besides that - one staircase means they would not be allowed to have tours upstairs unless they added another
Maybe they left it untouched after Elvis died like dirty underwear and socks layin around etc.
I've had tours of early 1800s plantation homes that showed 2nd floors.
@@oatlord I guarantee it wasn't nearly as popular as Graceland, and tour groups were likely very limited in size. I wasn't kidding; for decades they didn't do tours of the upstairs floors of Glensheen mansion - and only started doing so when they had upgraded a few minor details related to escape routes. This is the main reason why certain tours of famous places avoid certain floors - wasn't saying that randomly. :P
The perfectly rational reasons I've heard:
1) Upstairs is used as a de facto storage for other exhibits, occasionally some of those are brought downstairs for the public to see
2) They're worried about thefts and grisly souvenir hunting
3) The late Lisa Marie had a lot of good times in that house and recognised it as Elvis's private happy place. One of the upstairs rooms is her childhood bedroom. Elvis himself apparently wasn't all that sociable or outgoing, was somewhat of a homebody
4) The bathroom would indeed become a ghoulish shrine and who knows how people would behave or what they would do
5) The house isn't that well built, with real concern that the upstairs just couldn't manage all that footfall over time
The completely crazy reason I've heard:
1) Elvis is still alive and still secretly living there. LOL
#6. That's were he practiced witchcraft
7: the one and only actual answer - fire code. There's only one set of stairs, so no emergency exit if that is blocked by fire.
#8: There really is no upstairs, its just a myth!
#9: That's where the Cattywampus lives and you don't want no part of that! Not no way, not no how!
#10) Yoko Ono has been living up there for many years - she secretly purchased the mansion when she had enough of living in New York City.
I would love to visit Graceland. I can’t believe Lisa Marie passed. The only good thing about it is that now she is with her daddy and son. Rest In Peace beautiful. We will always love you.
I'm not so sure she's with them.
Watching everything Elvis and Lisa Marie since she passed 😭
Life is but a puff of smoke 💨 pls people don’t gamble with ur eternal souls, put ur faith and trust in Jesus Christ blood atonement sacrifice 🎚👈🏻 for the forgiveness of sins for without Christ blood atonement nobody goes to Heaven 🌅
Think about y’all immorality there’s only 1 of 2 places souls of the dead go ... Heaven or H*ll...
Those who are BORN AGAIN [John 3:3] their eternal souls go to Heaven at death to be with Jesus for all eternity 🙌🏼🌅Jesus said unless a man / woman is born again they cannot see or enter into Heaven.
@@eyemnew2991 wow! Why do you feel that way?
Stephanie Ann Do you really know with certainty Lisa Marie Presley is with her father Elvis and her son or are in the afterlife you just speculating according to your beliefs?
@@lottalovermark do you know where ur eternal soul will go in the afterlife ..? I know what happens to those who die in their sins without faith & trust Christ blood atonement sacrifice for the forgiveness of sins 🎚👈🏻
Jesus is not a man that he should lie He was the Almighty God who came in the flesh to die for humanities sins🎚👈🏻
[John 3:16-18]For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son[Jesus], that whosoever believeth in Him should not perish [ h*ll ], but have everlasting life.
For God sent not his Son into the world to condemn the world; but that the world through him might be saved.
He that believeth puts their faith and trust in him [ Jesus Christ blood atonement sacrifice ] is not condemned: but he that believeth not is condemned already, because he hath not believed in the name of the only begotten Son of God.
Boy u better wake up cause life is but a puff of smoke 💨 who do you think said that 🤷🏻♀️ JESUS DID!
Only born again believers who trust by faith in Jesus Christ blood sacrifice
🎚👈🏻 for the forgiveness of sins go to heaven Jesus made it plain and simple.
We went there, and as our group went out the back door to tour the grounds, and elderly couple in front of us commented...look, its just like our storm door! They were beaming! I told my husband they would live forever on that. It was so sweet.
I visited in the 80's with my young daughter, who was 4 months old when Elvis died, and we both loved it. So much paraphernalia of this incredible performer.
how did you know she loved it she was 4 months old lol
@@Von199X Comprehension isn’t your strong point 😅 She said she visited in the 80’s. She said her daughter was 4 months old WHEN ELVIS DIED, which was in 1977. Her daughter was not 4 months old in the 1980’s now was she 😅😅😅
Apparently Austin Butler was taken upstairs as well after Lisa Marie saw the movie. Just heard him say that the other day in an interview.
Did they get in the bed though?
@@modickens1272 I believe in a interview they said they sat on the bed and talked for a long time.
@@judiette I was going to leave a naughty reply but because Lisa died recently, I'll be a good boy and say nothing sexual happened between her and Austin while they were sitting on the bed.
@@1977TA not gonna lie, when I heard it I thought it was weird
@@judiette I think because all they did was think about him, I honestly think they need to re-do that house and let the next generation live in it. I think its too much sadness they are sitting in. If you took the house and lived in it as a beautiful extension of what he left the family and upgraded it and lived in it like a normal home, with maybe a few small things left.. it would be happy memories instead of this odd shrine that is full of sadness.
i took my little family to graceland sometime in the 1980s. the women giving the tour of the home said no one was allowed up stairs, then someone in the crowd said , elvis is still up there. then the whole crowd laughed. i liked the 15 foot coffee table as soon as you walked in.
Visiting Graceland in person was much different than a cheezy, touristy-only type spot I had envisioned. All the displays, narration by guides, grounds, and access was completely well-done and quite informative and very interesting.
Yes, seeing this video surprised me.
God bless Texas
It is cheesy and tacky. On top totally boring! Never in a million years would I travel to Tennessee to see that crap from a total overrated baby-jumpsuit drug freak! Horrid voice on top stealing from black composers. The Presley women are even worse! Venomous bloated faces.
@@mywienersyoumusttouch6446 Have you been sent to spread the message?
He was a groomer.🤢🤮
The backyard with Elvis’ grave and his grandson’s (recent) grave tore me up, Man. Unexpectedly. Heavy.
I felt the same way. In fact, when I see pictures of his grandson, I personally see a clear resemblance of his grandfather. It breaks my heart how he died. I have the best memories growing up, and watching his grandfather’s films on the weekends. Prayers, and protective blessings for those whom are a part of his incredible legacy.
I'm not convinced that's where they are all buried at.
Those could be just grave panels that tell you who died.
@@hlcotten6587 I know. It’s nuts how much they look alike.

Does "torn up Heavy" need a tissue?
I've always wanted to visit Graceland I'm hoping to get there one day.ive always been an Elvis fan ever since I can remember.when I was a teen most girls had boy bands on their walls,I had Elvis posters and Elvis figurines and knick knacks💜
You ought to go. Life is short.
Were you all shook up?
Eeeewwwwww. Would have been the least. He looked so ugly, sounded so horrid and was in no way form or shape a role model!
I have a wide range of musical taste from Classical Music to Motown to all the great Megasuperstar Legends of the 80s/90s to Guns n Roses/Bon Jovi/Aerosmith up to Beyoncé and Alicia Keys. There it stops. No Trash Millenial Music. But also no Elvis at the beginning of this short contemporary pop music. Then rather even Reggae and Boybands.
Make it happen as soon as you can!
Allow yourself several hours
if you're also interested in his cars and aircraft.
I'm not a huge fan but it was really moving, his music plays throughout.
Loved seeing his stage clothing.
It felt like a privilege to be allowed inside and I'd go again.
The one thing at that ticks me off is that after Elvis died, and pre to turning Graceland into a museum, Priscilla went in and changed some of the room decor. So all is not the original like Elvis had it when he died. After Priscilla and Elvis divorced, he got together with Linda Thompson for about 4 yrs, until 1976. Elvis and Linda did some redecorating of their own. Elvis liked what he liked, so it was done to his taste. Elvis was very particular. Then after Elvis passed, Priscilla, wanted a room or two to look more brighter, and made changes.
Priscilla sucks and is the most greediest person ever. Disgusting.
Yeah I think it was mostly red with Linda and now it’s blue
Priscilla did not "change" the rooms, she returned some of them to how they were when she lived there. It was Elvis's decor and color choices throughout the 1960s, and it's how it mostly was for many years. The decor trends of the 70s were gaudier and Elvis liked red so in 1974 Linda did some redecorating, incorporating a lot of red throughout the house. I think it is good that Graceland represents Elvis's personality in all the time periods, including some of the changes made while he lived there. It also represents Elvis when he was emotionally at the height of his fame and also in the darker years.
They say Linda Thompson’s decorating caused it to look like a bordello! 😂 Lots of gaudy red and velvet! 😂
@@ms.robbie7536 That is true. But that was the style Elvis liked, and wanted, at that time. Nothing was done if it was not to Elvis' liking. He was very particular. He did not even use cutlery, or drink out of a glass, that was not only ever used by him. He had a bit of OCD. So even with decorating his home, he was specific.
I went to Graceland in 2009. I remember wanting to jump in the pool ao bad due to the summer heat and i was so intrigued by all the beautiful decor in Graceland.
So sad after Lisa’s passing. I hope she is playing music with her father and son in heaven
Keeping up with Family tradition. Her father, her son Benjamin and now Lisa Marie herself were all very, very self destructive.

LMAO she don't have an pore of talent in her body. Not even Michael Jackson could help her with his spectacular upbeat compositions like Eaten Alive for Diana Ross or Somebody's Watching Me for Rockwell.
They are media Darlings. For them to not get a artificial career like Shitney Spears or Tschassdin Weeeener says it all. Also that Benjamin. WoW what a train wreck!
Billy Idol was also brought upstairs by Lisa Marie. When she was on tour with Billy, the bands members went back to Graceland and Lisa showed Billy Elvis' bedroom. None of the other members were allowed up, just Billy.
I was allowed there.
Graceland is amazing. I’ve been there twice and definitely want to go again. The garden in the back where Elvis and family are buried is so beautiful and peaceful.
I just visited there last week, wow it was an experience. Lots to see and very tasteful
I took my mother there in 1995. It was a highlight for her. I have always wondered since that visit why we couldn’t tour upstairs? I think it would be nice if they would at least take pictures of the upstairs and then put them down where the tour is so at least you would get an idea of what it looks like.. I think that would satisfy people’s curiosity.
That's a great idea
There are photos online.
Forgot how much I enjoyed Elvis. Had lost many friends the year before he died. We had enjoyed his music. They were german divers and those girls loved Elvis. They may have been to Graceland that summer of 1975. He died the next year.
May it last for eternity ! Graceland ! GV ! 🎶🎸🎶 😊
RIP Lisa
Hello Joey, how are you doing today, hope you’re fine and safe from the Virus??
I've been to Graceland twice. The first time Lisa Marie and her mother had just left. The guide said Lisa still uses her bedroom upstairs. That was well before her kids were born. I'm sure that's where family stays when they visit. Now her daughters will be up there. They own it now.
Hello Clair, how are you doing today, hope you’re fine and safe from the Virus??
👆 scammer. Dont talk to this "guy"
Rip beautiful
I've been to Graceland ... did not seem like 17.000 square feet. Big yes. But not that big. Such a sad and tragic family story.
I saw Graceland in early 2000s and one thing that struck me was that the original house is not larger than a lot of McMansions today, even in suburban western PA. Some of the square footage is other buildings on the property (his racquetball building is quite large, but even it had a dinky kitchen) and additions to make the place a museum.
I have a picture of me crying by the front gates, cant remember why but I was 5 lol I loved going on his plane
When we went to Graceland in the 1980s a tour guide told us no one was allowed upstairs but she would pass Graceland after work and see the upstairs all lit up and a lot of cars in the circular driveway. She said she felt Elvis was still alive and living in the upstairs.
ya never know
I’m sure the house keepers and care takers will have to go there and dust and fresh up things . Even if nobody stays up there they would have to keep it fresh if they didn’t there would be heavy dust cobwebs and a musty smell so people has to go up there from time to time.
He is still alive.
Its possible but nobody in their right mind faking their death would have faked it by " dying" on a toilet. Especially an icon. A plane crash, car accident, even a disappearance, but on a toilet with your pjs down. No, just no.
@@modickens1272 and that's exactly why it worked so well.
People forget that this is someone’s home… Poor guy’s house is even exploited.
Hello Kate, how are you doing today, hope you’re fine and safe from the Virus??
Unfortunately it was necessary to keep it in the family. Elvis spent uncontrollably. Was generous to a fault. And was financially abused by Colonel Parker. Rights to his early recordings had been sold off. He was on the verge of losing Graceland except for his prolific touring. They were worried they would have to sell since his royalties couldn't maintain the property. Opening it up to the public seemed like the best option. So yes, the house was exploited because he had been so exploited.
Rent out Elvis bedroom for the night
My Family & I Went to Graceland
About two years ago & I absolutely loved it so much!!!
& I hope to go back very soon! ♥️💚💛🎤🎸🎹
I visited Graceland in 1986. The tour guide mentioned that Elvis’s Aunt still resided on the upper floor and that’s why we couldn’t go upstairs.
In a recent interview Lisa Marie mentioned cousins still living on the premises!
That's exactly what we were told in 1983!!!
Prince Philip's mother was eventually moved into Buckingham Palace and died there in 1969.
Also Michelle Obama's mother lived in the White House for a time.
@@halfbakedproductions7887 She lived in Section 8.
I've heard someone say another reason why they probably don't allow people upstairs is because of the traffic. They would have to reconstruct the staircase in order to accommodate that many people walking up and down the stairs each day. It makes logical sense to me. I mean they could close the bathroom door and keep it off limits. But I wonder if they had to do that to the stairs for the basement? 🤔😉🤷♀️🙂 They go up and down those stairs all day long.
Elvis was every woman dreams when he was alive. He's been gone for soo long. I wonder whats he's doing in this afterlife. Probably enjoying with his daughter an grandson. May they all rest in peace ❤
What did women like most, the obesity, drug addiction or constant constipation? What a catch
Elvis was a child predator. Plan and simple. It’s been proven he was a womanizer
@@ronaldmercer9616 Don’t forget he was a child predator
House wasn't open when I was there in 80. Also didn't have many other attractions, they have now. Did take 2 Elvis tours.
Very interesting. Thank you
How are you doing
Hello Patricia, how are you doing today, hope you’re fine and safe from the Virus??
If they say you aren't allowed you aren't allowed. If reasons aren't given reasons aren't needed. Respect.
Because it's haunted by his ghost.
The first time we went it was still free. His dad and uncle were minding the gate. We parked next door at the Christian church.
That was before greedy old Priscilla and mannish Lisa Marie stepped in.
@@sogorgeous2257
Ignorant much?? 🙄
@@michelinelalonde2217 Shut The Front Door.
@@sogorgeous2257 Priscilla divorced him but never left the PRESLEY name, His name was the only reason anyone pays any attention to her. She evidently is a good business person/marketer or had good advice. She has made millions off Elvis’s name. To me it’s a shame.
But I am glad someone finally started releasing all the videos. For decades they weren’t available.
@@iknowheis What videos?
Elvis’s house was So Cool. Glad I took my family there.
Austin butler was taken upstairs by Lisa Marie, and stayed a long time in the king's bedroom ♥️👑 after the screening of the movie in Graceland.
@Bobby Taylor yeah, they became very close.
I think, if that is true, that it was for him to get a better feel for Elvis so he could play the character better 😉
@@tashasmith6179 no, it was after the movie was screened.
I went to Graceland in the summer of 2022. It was a cool experience.
My mom got to tour Graceland in 1975. She met soneone while we were vacationing who took her there while dad, my brother and I stayed at hotel in the pool. I will never forget the day Elvis died and it was announced on tne radio. Mom and I were headed home, only about 8 mikes from our house, however she was so upset she had to pull into a gas station to compose herself.
the same hotel were the pool was shaped like a guitar ? my kids did not want to leave and we just took them to disney world. i think they loved that pool better.
I went to graceland as a kid with my family. While on the tour my sister saw a drinking fountain when going through the gym and she drank out of it. The guide yelled at her and said "you arent allowed to use elvis personal fountain." My sister thought it was part of the tour lol
I have pictures of the day he passed in 1977🌹
Hello Theresa, how are you doing today, hope you’re fine and safe from the Virus??
I think you'll find Billy Idol was also given a tour of upstairs by Lisa Marie
bet you he toured downstairs too.
How are you doing today Michele. Would really love to know more about you.
@@mileycooper goodness sake, get a life 🙄
@@MegaLouise62 Wow - there are people answering dating bots?! Who truly needs a life! 🤣
I toured Graceland in the 80s.Everything Elvis touched was on display. When we got to the jet a older man looked at the roped off bathroom and said in discuss "I guess this is where Elvis took a crap" big deal lol.
right, they say the king died on the throne.
Graceland is located in a very sketchy neighborhood now. The wall surrounding the property is covered with graffiti and there are signs up all around the property that your personal property is not safe in your car. We were going to do the tour, but we’re actually afraid to leave our car.
What do the signs say
Be safe. You couldn’t pay me to go there.
The graffiti on the wall started with girls leaving their phone numbers written in lipstick and turned into fans signing the wall, which ramped up particularly after his death. It’s part of the history of the place. They mention it on the tour. The museum complex across the street is incredibly nice as well. I really enjoyed the tour.
Welcome to Mempho, Daddy!
Get a gun, don’t be scared you puss
For Loretta Lynn's house it was an insurance thing because of the staircase measurements
Great vlog
All his gold albums are up there I'll bet 👍
They don’t let the public see the family’s private rooms. Rightfully so. Love the jungle room, though! The media room is pretty cool too. It’s all very interesting!
Does anyone from the Presley family actually still live at Graceland? If not, those rooms should be included on the tour along with the upstairs portion of the house. Aberaham Lincoln's house is fully open. Tourists can see every room including the former president and first lady's private room, and the rooms their kids slept in.
@@1977TA I guess they don’t want the public to see the bathroom where Elvis passed away in. That would give me chills being in there
It doesn’t surprise me that Cage would ask to go upstairs.
Hello from Sweden 🇸🇪
my buddy DENNIS LEE was a tour guide there in the 1980's,Dennis band plays state fairs dose ELVIS....
To keep money rolling in…it’s time they open the entire house. There is no one left with personal ties to that space except Pricilla and I don’t think she would mind if it meant more money for her grandchildren IMO
How are you doing today Jenny. Would really love to know more about you.
It's time to flatten that shit out and build real buildings on that land!
Elvis is 50s, I know no-one who did like that freak in 80s! The money's totally blown in Lisa's nose and veins. That ghoul Priscilla divorced him consciously while alive and hasn't lived there since when?! 1970?!?? For how long anyway? 4 years?!?? She hopefully be gone soon! Man and those kids! No good outlook. Maybe Riley will grow old into her 60s, maybe.
Loved Elvis
He's in a better place.
This place is a gold mine. They charge $80 a pop just to go inside and, I read, they have 650K visitors a year...do the math. That's over 50 mill a year....to see a house! I wish I owned the damn thing.....
theres a room and armer under the main room in yhe one beside the basement door where billy stanely lived in basement but its behind the bookcase if its still thare in tha room i use to look through books looking for glayis in the abiss after she died
Thanks for the opportunity to visit Graceland OH KING - TCB IN A FLASH
That window over the front door is the bathroom where he died
Lisa and Elvis himself sad this is my.private place Lisa keeped that like that.. and did go up with her mom or with Jerry Jerry sad Elvis his books are there.. and nothing is change the day he died.. its a time capsel.. very cool do.
That's correct the upstairs is the private quarters of the Presley Family
Very simple explanation. It's the family's private living quarters.
Who has been to Graceland? Is the place big inside? One cannot tell just from seeing video, and photos. You can see a bit of the upstairs in the movie documentary, This Is Elvis (1981)- The first few minutes of the movie doc are pretty cool.
The original house is not much larger than large suburban houses today.
What a tragic family.
The bathroom he passed in shouldn’t be a big deal he’s in the afterlife not in the bathroom anymore 😊
But people would make it a big deal, so that's smart of them not to allow it.
You just want to see that big pink “mr. Bubbles box”😅
Respect for his space. Everything is the way he left it. No one else needs to be in there.
U.said.say!it,there.
@@Kai_kalea00 Yes and that's why whole tacky Graceland shouldn't exist in the first place! What's the point in letting general audience (even haters like me) tremble EVERYWHERE - but very few rooms upstairs - around like elephants. Surely over a million by now! Who would want that for themselves or a loved close family member?! Toxic dollar bitches (Male bitches as well, not just Priscilla and mainly LMP!)!! I'm utter glad Katherine Jackson spoke the Matriarch Word when some brothers were seeing new Dollar Signs Cash Printing Maschines in their eyes! Pressuring over Media The Estate to highly consider creating such Graceland circus. Nothing holy about it. Total invasion of Privacy. Museums exist for a reason! Tacky Tacky Tacky...
I’ve actually been upstairs at Graceland and it’s one heck of a story. I’m an electrician and I was working in Memphis in 2002 when I got a call to do some work at Graceland. I arrived and this woman took me upstairs and showed me what needed to be done and then she left. I was working alone for about ten minutes when the grumblings began. I knew that I had to take a serious dump and quick. I was in what I believe used to be Elvis’ office. I ran across the hall into his bedroom and then straight into his bathroom. I dropped my britches and sat down with mere seconds to spare. It was a surreal moment as I sat there on the King of Rock and Roll’s throne blowing mud. I finished, sprayed some cologne I found on the countertop to mask the foul odor and went back to work. Nobody from Graceland ever knew about it I guess because I never heard any complaints. I really didn’t have any other good options and I did what I had to do.
Liar
I’ve been to Graceland I went there in 2018
You got a fact wrong, M.J. went upstairs, as did Auston butler when he played the role of Elvis in the movie.
We were there last week
I loved visiting Graceland in the 90's. It is not worth what they charge nowadays tho. Toured his house, airplane, and museum.
I visited Graceland in 2000 with my father. It was amazing but too commercialised in my view, and I believe it’s even worse now. The Sun studios had more wow factor and you really felt Elvis’s presence in the recording studio
How is it any different? I seen a bunch of comments from people who visited decades ago, it’s always been a tourist destination since it was open to the public. It’s literally looked the same since Elvis was alive…
visited graceland a long time ago with my parent , then they told us that upstairs was off limits because the place was to old and coulnt support all the weight from the visitors.
Makes sense I suppose….that half a million visitors to Graceland would no doubt treble annually if people were allowed to snoop around his bedroom and private space where he passed away, the right and respectful decision!
If Lisa and her mom and his girlfriend re-decorated it, then what's the point if it wasn't his decor
How are you doing today Judy? Would really love to know more about you.
Linda decorated with Elvis according to his tastes. Priscilla decorated after Elvis died.
I heard a rumor. That they are making a movie of Lisa Marie's life. Kristian Stewart plays Lisa Marie. Has anyone heard about this?
No, And I won’t watch a minute of it.
LMAO?! For what? A bored out heiress doing drugs. Blowing a 100 million USD. Marrying 2 steerage loser popping out 4 overpopulation Trash Millenials. Real waste of film! Some ppl live in a Media-Matrix it's dangerously unfunny!
If only his family and close friends were allowed upstairs in his lifetime, then it should remain that way forever: his fans should understand this, and let it be. For someone of his stature in the 60's and 70's, that was his private escape from the pressure of fame, and it should be respected without question.
The audacity of visitors feeling they "deserve" access to the upstairs rooms is disgusting to me. Because then the focus is on the way he DIED, rather than the way he LIVED: that only proves this video right. He accomplished so much in the 20 years (1957-1977) that he lived there, so why do people NEED to see what's left of his final moments?
We all know he died in the bathroom: anything beyond that is intrusive, obsessive and ghoulish. The King of bacon, banana and peanut butter sandwiches, didn't die of a heart condition. He succumbed, on the toilet, to chronic constipation. He gave the world enough in his 42 years, with the last 5 leading to his early demise. Let the man rest: you'll live just fine without seeing the upstairs.
Weird that I stumbled upon this video just a week after Lisa Marie died? Totally random coincidence. I just liked the thumbnail and it was an interesting video.
The true reason. . . Without making serious alterations the upstairs doesn’t have the right fire escape access and they don’t want to alter the house.
I live about 5 miles from Graceland.
That's a blessing,wow really lucky u........lol smile 😃
@@arturoacosta6583 I thought about going around there to show my respects but a friend told me it was unreal about the people there
really why should I care where you live
Is Graceland in a sketchy part of town like I have heard?
Residents care shit about Graceland. Many posts say they never went to that tourist clown trap. Caring for Elvis is a big bug in your system anyhow!
It is understandable why the decision was made to make the upstairs portion of the house off limits to visitors. However, that decision is depriving people from visiting the most historically significant part of the house. Indeed, Elvis died in the upstairs bathroom however his remains are not buried there. It's not liked the bathroom became his tomb and therefore it must be treated like a grave site. Why make the house into a museum if they weren't going to open it up all the way?
The upstairs portion of the house is likely frozen as it was August 16, 1977. To go up there would be like going back in time. It is a shame that part of the house is not included in the tour.
Because then the focus is on the way he DIED, rather than the way he LIVED: that only proves this video right. he accomplished so much in the 20 years (1957-1977) that he lived there, so why do people NEED to see what's left of his final moments?
We all know he died in the bathroom on the toilet: anything beyond that is intrusive, obsessive and ghoulish. He gave the world enough in his 42 years, with the last 5 leading to his early demise. Let the man rest.
Not your property to say what they should do. You don’t pay the taxes on that property or pay the employees who run it. If they want to keep it closed off that their decision. They do not have to show anything to the public that get don’t want to show. Again, their property not yours
Correction..Graceland is second most visited after both the White House and the Biltmore Estate
How are you doing
What about McDonald’s?🍟🍔
@@richardkronberg4925 ...what about MCDonalds???
Then it’s the third most visited. You couldn’t pay me to go there.
@@sogorgeous2257 ...I'm sure they are broken up by you not gracing them with your presence.
Very interesting this is but I don’t think I would even want to go upstair’s.
Even if we were allowed.
To painful this would be.

Creepy. The energy would be too much for me. I don’t belong there.
@@michelinelalonde2217 What energy are you talking about?
@@santiagobeneth8543
I’m not saying I communicate with spirits, LOL. I an just sensitive to energy, in general. Being at a concert can feel overwhelming to me. It’s so much positive energy, it makes me weep. Visiting Aztecs ruins, where there may have been ceremonies and a rock we makes me feel like I am infringing on a holy place.
@@michelinelalonde2217 Interesting. That sensitivity may be useful to you when buying a house, you already feel if it's haunted haha
Cafe was NOT the only one who has been upstairs
Thanks, ~~~~~Sherry
How are you doing
I was told his aunt lived up there till her death.
Yes
After Lisa's unexpected passing, I believe they should let people tour the upstairs now. It would only be fair since the cost to go there is so high. It's literally 76$ just for the standard tickets. If I'm gonna pay that much, I want to see the entire house. I lived in Memphis my entire life and never got to see it because the price was so high for limited things to see. If Elvis was alive, he would not be charging that much. He probably wouldn't charge at all.
We'll probably have to wait until Priscilla passes before they let us up there. Of course, it will depend on whoever takes over the estate and if they care more about money than upholding the family's request to keep the upstairs private.
Lisa Marie and family stay there upstairs when they go there she said so on Oprah
Hello Katiel, how are you doing today, hope you’re fine and safe from the Virus??
Thank you. Thank you very much
I was actually allowed to go upstairs, and it looked pretty neat.
Some places need to stay private.
Been there! Can you say SHAG carpet?! It’s cool!!
Privacy is one reason why upstairs is off limits, for the family!
Another is to keep the mystic alive,
Keep them wondering, while the money rolls in.
Jack Soden ain't no fool!
So no one’s gonna mention or noticed that his father died on the exact same date as Elvis’ last performance before his death 2 years later
Lisa Marie was buried there on Jan 22, 3 days after this video posted.
Looking through another messed up site that wasn't the orginal windows 😵💫🥴 but do remember my rusted peddle firetruck that was in Emma Dr attic when I was small riding around the pool table circle after cycles 🚲
Hello Lilura, how are you doing today, hope you’re fine and safe from the Virus??
When I was 15 me and a friend broke into Graceland and went upstairs.. I still have the photos
I went when I was a toddler who didn’t understand what death was. My mom took me to his grave and told me “Elvis is sleeping in there”. My reaction was “ELVIS WAKE UP I CAME ALL THE WAY FROM LOUISIANA TO SEE YOU AND YOURE SLEEPING?!” To which my mom had to explain to me what death was on the front steps of Graceland. Fun story about a child disturbing a poor legend’s peace.
Nobody is allowed in my upstairs either, until I clean it up
102k... wow!!
I have a feeling that since Lisa Marie passed away that the upstairs will be open up for people willing to pay big bucks for a vip tour,it might take a year or two bf it happens but it’ll happen.she was the one that wanted it private
I understand why they won’t let people upstairs. But part of me wish they would
Wow those are not wholesome thoughts about breaking rules to go upstairs. Why did you decided to share those thoughts with the world?
