Thank you for that highlight. I am half way through and I still don’t know which one it was for sure but that female cousin’s name is known to me quite well.
I can now die in rock n roll heaven and I know where I’m going. Bless you.
I love the twins so much, I've been a fan since the beginning, and I still am. God bless you both.
please if at all possible can you tell the brothers thank you I got to see his dad in person years ago, and it was a great show got to meet him for a few minutes and I wonder what happened to his guitar did it go down in flames in the plane
Gunnar Rocks-what a beautiful person-inside and out ♥️🌻🙌🇦🇺⭐️
There weren't many pioneers of Rock n Roll ....but Ricky Nelson was one ....
Ricky Nelson left a beautiful memories in his wonderful children I'm soo proud of them all well done guys we love u all
You just gotta love Gunnar. 🎉Love that Nelson politeness, unassuming, not entitled, grateful and real. God bless ‘em.
Gunnar is such a nice guy! My Daughter and I got to meet and talk with him around 2003 in Florida. He actually took the time to have an awesome conversation with him. I started out telling him I was a huge fan of his Pops (I am just a few years older than G&M.), he smiled so big & our conversation began. I was able to get a picture with both Gunnar & Matthew, they were great (I no longer have 😢). He was so genuine, so kind & he "thanked me" for the conversation about his Pops. I have been huge fans of Gunnar & Matthew ever since!!! One of my 'Treasured' memories!!! ❤

I subscribed after I wrote my comment! I enjoyed your "LIVE" very much, Gunnar seemed to be having a great time too!!!
This is awesome I’m glad Gunner said things that I always thought were true like how Ricky was shy and quiet
What a great interview. Gunnar has so much knowledge and experience in the music field and is so articulate and enthusiastic about sharing it.
Gunnar is so down-to-earth. He grew up with great privilege but you would never know because he is very genuine and real. Love listening to him talk.
I love you both now Gunnar and Matthew Nelson , !!! Love your music, and Love how you represent your Father !! He was an honorable man , RICKY was loved by all the people !!! Your Dad was #1 for many weeks on the “HITPARADE “ in Germany when I was a kid , but loved Music from early on , still do !!
Yes, I know Traveling Man , Garden Party !! ❤️❤️❤️
Thank you for watching!
Yeah NELSON, 😮you came from a great family and still keeping it alive. From Ozzie down to Matt and gunner, so excited when I find all of you on my iPad.
Matt favors the Harmon side imo
@@dsoule4902you’re right! I wondered what the difference was! Spot on! Good eye you have!
Gunnar and Matthew are amazing human beings. I love their music and I love them. Much continued success and blessings to both of them
Gunnar is so smart, articulate, interesting and takes the listener on pleasant trips and travels on any story he decides to share. This man can talk for hours and is never boring. He should do audio books of his life and history of his legendary family. This would be awesome.
Appreciate the comment. Thank you for watching.
@@artistsonrecord great show, enjoyed watching. Newly subscribed 👍
I luv Mathew & Gunnar, I have seen them perform live twice , I just saw them in Wabash , Indiana at the Eagles Theater a few days ago and I hadn't seen them for 20 years or more , they sounded great and I love hearing them tell stories from their life. I was born a year before them and I have been listening to them since they first started. I of course have watched Ozzie & Harriet and their dad , the one song that stands out that their dad made was "Garden Party" I remember hearing it on the radio when I was a young girl and singing along :) Ricky was definitely a handsome man but so are Mathew & Gunnar ! Mathew & Gunnar have come from a great family & they have had such an awesome experience with growing up with all these musicians, they have so many cool stories to tell , they need to write a book , I would luv to read it ! I have always loved reading biographies about interesting people's lives ! I have the Michael Jackson "Off The Wall" record album, I also have the "Thriller" album , I also have the very first album Michael made with his brothers, it is called "Dianna presents The Jacksons" my best friend found it at a flea market years ago and she gave it to me for my birthday along with another Jackson's album. I also like Fleetwood Mac & Stevie Nicks , I liked most of the albums he held up. I love the Beatles and I have an old Wings album . I like all the Beatles members , they are all cool, hard to say who is my favorite! I am kind of Partial to Paul but I think they were all special , Ringo is a great drummer & funny ! Paul is a great singer & musician, George Harrison seemed like a great guy , a peaceful guy , John had his own great music , a peaceful guy too !
Thank you Gunner and Matthew for not letting your dad's music go away. I love all the old time singers back when your dad was popular and even before that ❤❤❤😊😊😊
Great show. My Dad worked at the studio and used to toss a football around with Ricky when he wasn’t needed on set. I’m 70 and I’m a Rick Fan. I’ve seen him 7 times. I was also at the Trubadour when Rick played there. Best concert ever
I met Mat & Gunner in Canyonville Oregon at the Indian Gambling & Concert Center on the early 90’s I believe. The guys put on an incredible show. The whole audience was blown away.
They stayed to sign every autograph that was wanted. Please just keep touring 🎸🎸🎸🎸🎸
Thank you both for the love❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉
It was great listening to you Gunnar. Loved hearing the backstory. You two are go getters for sure. You both have great passion and enthusiasm in your field. Keep on 🎶

Done!
Very talented father And son's.✌️❤️
I will never understand why Ricky Nelson was so underrated and why Elvis was so popular Ricky was gorgeous and talented I just don’t understand.
Despite Rick's extraordinary pre-Beatles success. it became popular to deride him in the early 1970s, with the arrival of the 1st Rock 'n Roll revival. While Rick had changed with the times. it was hard to shake his clean cut, wholesome, All-American, 1950's image, which had fallen out of favour with the rock music buying public. People also pointed to his limited vocal range, mediocre guitar skills and limited song writing but there was a bigger underlying factor.
People now resented his overnight success. They preferred their musical heroes to be working class people who clawed their way up from the bottom, playing countless low paying gigs and making endless rounds of the record companies. Rick was the exact opposite of this, coming from a successful show business family and his father negotiating a record deal with him having zero prior pro music experience. His first record was promoted on a hit television show and turned him into an instant R'nR star. Basically, the mass market, now resented what they perceived as a mediocre talent, being handed fame and fortune on a silver platter.
In hindsight, he wasn't much different than the The Monkees, another successful act that rock pundits were quick to deride as the Prefab Four. Furthermore, he was often cited as the prototype for much of what was bad with music at the time, the rise of the teenage idols such as the Frankie Avalon, Fabian, Bobby Sherman, David Cassidy, Davey Jones, etc.
Unfortunately, this attitude toward Rick's music still exists, even to-day. For the most part, this criticism is largely that of an ignorant public who has never taken the time to sit down and listen to Rick's old records. Most are making assumptions or simply regurgitating the preachings of rock snobs. The professional musicians and friends that knew Rick well, realized that he put everything into his music and many regarded him highly. Whatever vocal and guitar playing shortcomings he may have had, he made the best use of them and more than compensated with impeccable song choice, excellent selection of backing musicians and vocalists, great arrangements, great production and promotion that was ahead of its time.
Slowly, people are beginning to see the light and appreciate the true musical genius of Rick Nelson. In my opinion, he deserves to be held in the same esteem as other seminal R'nR acts, such as Elvis Presley, Chuck Berry, Little Richard, the Everly Brothers, Buddy Holly, Eddie Cochran and Gene Vincent.
Man kann Ricki nicht mit dem grossen Elvis vergleichen😅
I watched Ozzie and Harriet loved the show ❤️love what your talking about family brings back memories that I treasure 😊
Ricky was freaking hilarious on Ozzie and Harriet. He got great lines but his delivery was impeccable.
Being true to yourself is what life is all about. Keep it going❤
💯
Two of my friends and I went to see your Dad in concert at the rodeo arena (sawdust and all!) at out MidSouth Fair here in the Memphis area. That was about 1957-58. We will never forget that. Had seats on the second row! On the way to the concert we were talked and said we would not scream. Well, so much for that! We screamed so much that we were hoarse by the time our parents picked us up. It was a day to remember. All we could talk about was his dreamy blue eyes and his sweet lips! It’s so wonderful that you guys have continued to keep the music alive. I hope one day that y’all will one day come this way and perform in concert. I have a bunch of your dad’s hits on my playlist. One I’d never heard, I fell in love with, Since I Don’t Have You! Boy, he crushed those high notes! Miss him so much. Keep up the good work! Love your story telling! You are so in-Hollywood. Wonderful to see and hear.❤❤🎉🎉
As a fan of Ricky Nelson since about 1962, I can't help but being a fan of Matthew and Gunnar. Two extremely talented guys with morals and respect for their fans. You don't see them all over the stupid tabloids with negative stories about them or involved in the Hollywood bull shit. Keep on keepin' on Matthew and Gunnar and Rock until ya drop!!!
What a great interview!! I grew up with the whole Nelson family on TV. It is great to see they are still entertaining. Thanks for memories and catching up with the boys. Wonderful. Wish them continued success on their own terms.
Thank you for watching and for your feedback.
love the interview with Gunnar love brothers always Gunnar and Matthew are awesome singers and have a great band Nelson love their music still today
Thank You, checkout our other Nelson interview’s and please subscribe to our channel.
I used to watch Ozzie and Harriet when Ricky and David were on it. I loved Ricky and couldn't wait for him to sing at the end of the show. But I was also a fan of Elvis and I loved them both and still do even though they are both gone. Gunner and Matthew looks like their momma with their dads smile. Sam looks like his Dad. I don't believe for a second that Rick was free basing on that plain.
Wow. Just listened for the first time to the record mentioned here, Rick Nelson Live at the Troubadour. Just WOW.
Thank you for being here, make sure to checkout our NELSON playlist and please subscribe! Happy New Year!
Gunnar gives so much information, he's just great!❤
Gunnar is a fabulous story teller!
Thank You Gunner for this Great Interview and Back Story 😃
wow! the whole Nelson family are Just phenomenal! love em!😍💝💯
At about 45 seconds into the video Gunnar made me see Rick with a simple facial expression. It was comforting to know that small parts of us will live on in our children. My daughter has something that reminds everyone of me also. Thanks for that, it made my day. Greg
I know! He always did look more like Rick. Matt takes after Kris, which is weird for identical, mirror twins.
It happens, though. Andy Williams has twin nephews. One looks like their mom, and one looks like their aunt.
You just loved this. Every word Gunner says I hang on to. I just love music and the entertainment industry ( pop culture ). So every thing he stays is the coolest info. I just love it like crazy. I will def be looking for more of his interviews. Thank you so much for this. Xxx
You all did ur father proud by preserving his name
The history that gunner has put out there is unbelievable. I’m roughly the same age as you and I find your information in invaluable and so interesting everything you said here I couldn’t stop listening. And then the two people that you and Matt have become are remarkable and I’m so impressed with who you guys are and how you stay true but to the point that you’re even better people than musicians is something to be very proud of! And those two songs I forgot how much I loved them, but I had to buy them and I listen to them every day now!
I was born in Germany, I was maybe 10 yrs old , had the biggest crush on RICKY NELSON !! Everyone in GERMANY knew his big Song : HELLO MARY LOU !! I know it was a number 1 hit in GERMANY !! ❤️❤️❤️❤️
Fantastic interview. Thank you so much. ❤
Glad you enjoyed it! Please subscribe and join the family!
I did subscribe 🙏 I love your interview style.
One of the most enjoyable videos I have seen...what a classy and down to earth guy.
Grew up watching his father on TV....as all of my generation did...

God bless you Nelson boys!
Thank you!!! I was three years old when I first saw your dad on T. V.!
I saw him play at the Alameda county Fair in the 1980's. He was as good as any performer I have ever seen. A true professional and a great musician. And as your Uncle David once said, he's the nicest person I know, I believe it. Thanks for a great post!
Gunner I loved your dad's singing and acting he was so great watching The Ozzie and Harriet show was the best times ❤❤😊😊
You guys are awesome I loved your Dad and so glad that you all keep your dad's memories alive he was a awesome man wished I could have met him but never did but I still cherish his music and movies love your music also your dad loved you guys I've heard him talk about you all on some of his interviews and his eyes would just light up been following your Dad since he was on Ozzie and Harriet I loved all the Nelson's may the ones that has passed on RIP keep up the good work and keeping your dad's memories alive ❤💙♥💜
Put the bad feelings aside and PLEASE record with your bro SAM! You & Fans will be forever greatfull!!!

What a record collection Gunnar must have. The albums he showed 🔥
Professor Gunnar strikes again. He's quite the historian, quite the communicator. (11min lol "yeah I talk a lot ..")
Seriously
"Adjunct Professor"
Love this so much! Hope to see Gunnar again! Great stories!
they mostly look like their mom. a good looking family. and very talented as well.
She was a beauty and Rick was handsome too
I was at that concert at Madison Square Garden. I did not and would never boo Ricky!! I am so excited that in April, I will be on the Blue Cruise with a huge line-up including Matthew and Gunnar. I hope I get to talk to them and tell them that I was at the concert that inspired their Dad to write Garden Party!
I'm a huge Boston fan,R.I. P Bradley Delp. Gone but not forgotten.
Had the pleasure of seeing Rick and the SCB in early 80s in Portland Oregon,Great show such a talented guy!
Loved this! Great interview.
Glad you enjoyed it!
I actually met these guys in 1999 at the Orange county Fair Costa Mesa. They signed a picture for me Love And Affection. I was with my sister. Then later on we went and saw them at the old Crazy Horse they had Steve McClintock as their guests. Chatted quite a bit at the meet and greet We took pics with them and they took pics with Dad as well. Matthew was married to Yvette at the time and Gunnar was single. 😘🥰😍🤩
From Shreveport/Bossier La. Great interview. Love the stories. Nelson are good guys.
Thank you for your feedback. Please Subscribe and enjoy our playlist.
I got The Garden Party Record right After Ricky Made It . I was 13 and it was Cool😃
I love NELSON! ♥️ They’re such great singers & songwriters! Loved them all...From Ozzie & his orchestra, to Rick & his band’s to these guys & Sam, too! I think Sam sounds most like his Dad! What a great family! Love Tracy in The Father Dowling Mysteries! Great memories! I thought Ricky & David were my age! 😂 No idea I was watching reruns, as we had black & white tv! I wanted them for brothers! Little did I know Tracy is older than i by a year! 😁 It’s Great to catch Matthews young boy playing drums...another generation! Imagine!? Amazingly talented family! ♥️🌹🌿🙌🏼🙌🏼🙌🏼
Gunner I loved hearing your stories, growing up around all the musical greats, the musical history, you & Matthew are extremely talented, and look forward to seeing you Sunday night at the Celebrity Theatre in Phoenix (9/29/24). My third time catching you in concert! I’d love you to sign my copy of your dad’s Garden Party album!
Loved this show. Could not leave it at all.

Absolutely loved your dad ,and now I’m gonna be looking for you and matt!
wish Gunner would write a book
First-hand from one of the MSG lighting crew who worked that show.
The crowd wasn't booing Rick. A fight broke out, & when cops stepped in they were booed.
Love. Gunnar!! HOT!!!!❤❤ ❤❤❤❤
I really wish I could have seen your dad sing in person that would have been truly amazing 😊😊
Such a fun interview .. with lots of tidbits ... the elevator story was definitely my favorite ..
Thank you for watching
This was so wonderful! Gunnar is my fav. ❤🎉😂
As much as Gunnar and Matt look like their Mom, you can really see Ozzie’s features in Gunnar…cheekbones, eyes and mouth
I enjoyed this interview so much!
One of my favorite videos is a cover of Garden Party, which was done not just by Matthew and Gunnar, but Sam too. They each were featured, and they/it were BRILLANT!!!!
Gunnar is awesome, love the adventures of Ozzie and Harriet nelson
I FREAKING SO DO L♡VE Gunnar's t-shirt !!! Cuz , I LOVE,LOVE,LOVE GRAM PARSONS !!!! God rest his Sweet soul !
i have so many original vinyls and Off the Wall is one of them and that is for sure one of the greatest albums.
Agree 💯
I loved the Nelson outfits and that they were styled with Native Anerican jewelry, back then I don't remember anyone rocking those looks and I appreciated it. Great Memories of my youth!
Glad you enjoyed this episode! As always please hit that bell to be notified so you don’t miss out on any great interviews!
great interview watched the whole thing and it was very cool thanks for the love ! Cheers
thanks Gunner got to see your dad years ago great show
I love his personality!! My parents grew up watching Ozzie and Harriet, then of course Ricky Nelson's music. I grew up watching their sister Tracy Nelson on Square Pegs and then 90210, listening to their band Nelson ❤ Super talented family that has overcome a lot of tragedy.
They used to say that Elvis was good-looking, but Rick was so handsome he just had to stand there, no leg shaking required. 😉
Nice guy too.
love love need to write book on growing up .. whenever I m down I cheek in for MY nelson fix ... makes me fell better for the day
what a fantastic interview!
Thank you @Strat62 appreciate the feedback
This family is tough .But at the end of the day, it's all love. I met my cousin once.I talked to Matthew about an hour and Ray Diddle came by and it ended.Then I've not seen them since.Because of family.
Hard not to catch the virus that is music around this guy. Cool dude.l
Wow I love Nelson and Matt Gunner
Ricky and David Nelson great amazing talent
17:30. Rick is credited with starting the country-rock genre!!
one of my prized possessions is a painting of the late Joe Messina of the Funk Brothers he signed for me before he passed away
Good to hear this stuff . 😊
Facing the photo on CD who is Gunnar and Matthew. I met them in person. Very down to earth and Gentlemen
Good Question, I do always get them mixed up.
8:27 Nelson Bros thought Dylan was some homeless guy. So did I! When I first saw the “We Are The World” video I seriously thought “Awww, How sweet, they let a random homeless guy outside the studio come in and record an off-key line. Bless his heart.” I had no idea that was Bob Dylan.
There's someone online pretending to be Gunnar who chats you up until they try to sell you a backstage NELSON Roadie fan club card. Delete, block and report this to the site the guys would NOT charge people for fan clubs. They are the one of the most accessible groups ever.
A gunner you and Matthew your dad will be so proud of you too I lost my mom and my dad and my tooth and my little brother now I lost my oldest brother now there's only six now there's only six of us
This interview is fantastic. 👍
Thanks for watching
I was 6 years younger than dad and I watched ozzie and harriet for years than one day in April 1966 I tuned in to see the show and batman was on instead sad very sad. But your grandpa was such a genius 7 years later ozzie invented ozzie girls. Great show but ozzie got sick after one season and died. That show would have lasted a long time too. All of the Nelson's are talented.
Gunnar was right about teenage childhood.
I'm here because I grew up watching Ozzie & Harriet and opened for Ricky in '71 in Norfolk NE. He was a Genuine Human Being. I mentioned the "Wooly Coat" that he wore on TV, and he handed it to me and said, "Try it on."... I did. We hung out with him and The Stone Canyon Band for the rest of the afternoon after sound check. I thought they sounded every bit as good as Crosby, Stills and Nash. It was an Great day, and is still some of my favorite memories. (People... especially the people in the Industry, are ignorant. They are NOT Musicians or even Creative on any level, whatsoever. They care about money, and nothing else. I've been a Professional Musician since 1963 and I've seen the same horrific treatment that they treated Ricky with over and over and over!)
Great interview!
