I love this Band .and l miss this band .
Good Man
CCR has heart and soul unlike music today in 2019.
I really like the way Tom handled himself, and the gracious way he ended that interview; a talented man, straightforward and modest.
excellent :-)
Unlike John who takes his crying towel wherever he goes and will wine to anybody who will listen.
Descansa en paz recordado amigo Tom Fogerty. Qué mala suerte tuviste, al encontrar la muerte de esa manera tan injusta. A mi siempre me pareciste un humilde musico, y un buen tipo en general. Hasta siempre recordado Tom
I feel Tom is one of the best rhythm guitarist ever. Having said that tho, he was still only second fiddle to John. And gotta remember, HE"S the one who busted CCR ! A pity....
Tom did not bust CCR! There was a lot of friction caused by straight out misunderstanding because they didn't talk to each other the way they should have. They are by no means alone there.
You use the term second fiddle. If you read how CCR started in the 1st place they were all supposed to be equal. John on the basis of talent was the rightful leader but he should never have treated his brother and the others as his slaves. He is singing a different tune now with his kids I'm glad to say.
@@elainelethborg2550 Your wrong! Tom Fogerty was a big part of why the band broke up! He basically, rugged his own Brother. John is the only 1 of the 4 that could make a record that would become a hit! Re-check your facts!
@@elainelethborg2550 wrong! Even Tom regretted living CCR. He and the rest of the band were average! John was the only star!
One of John Fogerty's sons looks very much like Tom
The reason why CCR songs were so successful is "the sound of Tom's rhythmic strumming" ...
Ha,ha,ha!

There u go, man
nice!
Awesome
very honest interview ,his brother seems to struggle with truth ,at least when he is interviewed
Wow almost 40 yrs later royal albert hall made it to Netflix along with short documentary and re restored,tom seemed very genuine,love John but his ego got In the way of one of the greatest bands ever,but all good things must come to end,I always think have you ever seen the rain was their swan song.
His friend Saul, who stabbed them all in the back, especially his own brother John.
When I heard Tom call Saul his friend, I felt sympathy for John. Speaking highly of the one man who made off with millions of the band's money.. I could see why John tried so hard to forgive Tom but just couldn't do so until after his passing because his own brother befriended his worst enemy. It's a tragic story.
@@hps69 I believe the reason Tom Fogerty thought so much of Zaentz is he gave Tom the opportunity to record & sing & produce his own music. Unfortunately for Tom, his music was not a good fit for Creedence Clearwater Revival!, John knew this, Tom couldn’t accept it. Nevertheless, Saul Zaentz was the prime reason the break-up of the band! He used the old “divide & conquer” technique to bring the band to their knees.
@@davidkirkham6497 I try not to talk bad about the dead, but that is such a scummy, evil thing to do, especially when it's for nothing more than financial gain. Shame on Saul Zaentz!
@@hps69 👍
Tom and John are very diplomatic. The conflict between them is as old as Cain and Abel. Songwriters, whether it’s the Beatles or The Band, make the most money and incur the most hostility because they dominate. John wouldn’t let Tom contribute, like Lennon and McCartney stifled George. Tom said Saul Zaentz, who was using the royalties from CCR’s songs to finance his movies and was John’s mortal enemy, was his friend. No bigger betrayal.
I don't always think he's the bad guy.... and yes he was a great rythym guitarist.
Now he's not john... but a part of the ccr machine ... yes
4 sure!
Did that concert from 1970 ever get released?
Idk about right and wrong w CCR. I dont really care. Its their personal issue. I just want to enjoy their music. Tom has been dead a long time now yet John still reminds us over and over how he got screwed. Bad things happen in our lives. I guess it makes some people feel better to share their woes w the rest of the world. Im sorry that Tom died so young
CCR has ALWAYS been about John Fogerty. Not to minimize the other players, but these secondaries need to concede that they had a man who led them into greatness. But they didn't, so they ended up as a bunch of envious babies.
Sounds like Sting with The Police. Just him and Stewart Copeland fighting for control was the only difference.
You’re an asshole.
*PlanetRockJesus*
Yea, the other members of CCR should have thanked their lucky stars that John Fogerty was such a major talent. Without him, they would have gone absolutely nowhere in the music business. But instead of thanks, they sided with the very guy (Saul Zaentz) that screwed John Fogerty over. Lets face it, John was the only real talent in the band, with his song writing abilities, and great vocals...the other 3 were replaceable.
Ccr was a sound they all contributed to. Even in the beginning john said they all wanted to write and sing. He said it sounded horrible. So he got the guys together and said he was gonna take the horns cuz he didnt want to go back to his job. Any musician wouldve killed to been with john in ccr at that time. Those guys didnt know how good they really had it. Lol Doug and Stuuuuu de derp derrrrrp!!!!
@@marcillioficino4663 No, the CCR sound would be altered with another line up. John's solo career isn't on par with CCR.
tom fogerty the number one rhytem guitar player jonh fogerty be nothing whit no tom jhon its in ashole tom its good person
Agreed...great rhythm
Why does he sound sound like a nervous school boy ?
had to bring up Saul Zantz
Why not He's such a huge part of the Creedence legacy and a proven thief. For example... The movie one flew over the cuckoo's nest was a huge sucess, Johns share of creedences royaltys were used to fund the film. Saul was sued post haste for roughly what the film initially grossed and lost. Now I'm not saying John is a saint, He is and was a Megalomaniac but for good reason I believe. He wrote produced arranged played multiple instruments and sang all of the hits and he taught novice musicians how and what to play They couldn't be happy riding the wave of success that John's music brought them and "Mardi Gras" was the result. Because of this He went from being this naive kid sharing the wealth which he didn't have to do and He completely flipped and shut them all out and in the process caused himself a world of hurt emotionally in the long run and Saul took full advantage of his Naivety.
Saul was a greedy pig.... but he did give john a shot, who was working in his factory at the time. Its not like either one was ever hurting for cash. John should own his own songs though....
The reason Creedence was so successful was JOHN FOGERTY.
None of the others could write a successful song or draw an audience.
To bad the others did not recognize the genius they were working with.
I know. Complete madness and lack of self awareness! They should have done as they were told and left John to it!
Some of Tom's songs have potential , it might have helped if John had worked with him to round out the songs , between the two of them I think they could have written a very good CCR song .
@@unstrung65John has stated, publicly, that yes, John & Tom did co- write songs in their “ Blue Velvet” days, however, John stated that Tom was “stuck” in the 50’s style of writing & John was more progressive as a writer, then Tom. Thus, they no longer wrote songs or arranged & produced music as a team.
Tom Fogerty seems like a decent guy and very honest. I’m not sure what kind of conflict he had with his brother internally and psychologically. Here he sounds like he appreciates his brothers singing and writing talents and yet because he was the older brother he must have felt belittled by his role in Creedence just playing rhythm guitar 🎸 and singing backup vocals to his younger brother. He did sell out his interest along with the other two to Saul Zaentz who was Fogertys worst enemy! Is that how you pay back your brother for bringing you along for a wild ride of fame and fortune? I’m sorry he died a tragic death but I’m also sad that they never reconciled because forever is a long time. In fact, all three of them betrayed John and John wrote and sang all the hit songs that brought them all to the big dance. He even shared the royalties 4 ways for the first four albums! That was a mistake! They sure paid him back but not with gratitude but with betrayal! Unreal!
Exactly. Jealousy and envy are ugly human traits.
That is pretty close to the truth! Bravo! Dyn!
Well Tom did say he loved John's stuff and thinks its great he obviously new what a talent john was im.not about to bash this dead man he was in ccr but on his deathbed he told John his best friend was John's worse enemy some the last words he spoke were basically saying I hate you john it's a sad story of brotherly rivalry
Toms last words according to John. Thats alot to get out when your breathing your last breaths. Reminds me too much of RRobertsons story of how he and Levon talked about good old times at Levons deathbed only to learn later Levon was in a coma and Levons wife wouldnt let Robbie see him anyway....what bs people will say
Just goes to show what kind of man John is that he still forgave his brother even if it took a few years.
John was the teen pop star that went against everything teens loved doing lol I loved John because even being ultra famous he still some how had morality not a lot of famous people do I just watched Beatles wives OMG those guys were a total mess lol morality don't think they new what it was they did what they wanted and didn't give a shit fame does that I'm sure
After listening to this interview, To Me he’s a lot like His Brother John only less Bitter. Only because Tom , like Doug and Stu , didn’t get basically screwed by Saul Zaentz when Tom said”My friend Saul Zaentz “
It told the story. Sad to say . Regardless, Tom Fogerty seems like a level head sincere Guy. I could listen to him talk all day. Same as John. Doug and Stu on the other hand, I have a hard time listening to. They seem to be all about money. As in Creedence Clearwater Revisited. Playing songs they didn’t write or produce. Basically a cover band. Nothing original. Like Stu Cook said “ just give Me the money “. Making a living off another Man’s Tallent. 🤔
Tom was pissed that John released the Old Man Down the Road and that it sounded like CCR. Really?
What was it supposed to sound like? I guess it was ok for Tom to perform CCR songs when he performed solo. Songs that John wrote. Tom wasn’t a great song writer nor a great singer. He was pretty average.
GE TurnEDGE you r so right! Bravo👍
And what do we know Stu, Doug or Tom for, not much. The made up the band with John but John made that band.
This guy had no talent and was so unsecure and jealous of his brother, that he punished him with lawsuits and siding with the record owner that screwed CCR. There was something wrong with this guy in how he treated his genius brother.
All 3 of them, Tom Stu and Doug, they all envied John and eventually sided with the greedy dog Saul Zaentz. According to John, he made a few attempts to reconcile with Tom mostly on behalf of their mother, but still Tom refused and acted immature by constantly siding with Saul. Of course, that's John's side of the story but if it's true word for word then that's pretty sad.. Either way, John still came out on top as the more well known and more successful member out of the 4 through his continued solo career.
Tom was a great musician, but really..."my friend Saul Zaentz?" Would that be the same greedy bastard who sued your brother and tried (successfully) to steal his songwriting rights? rip Tom.
