To me it sounds like John and Dan share the same brain. You can hear their amazing chemistry just by listening to them talk together. Its undeniable.

[@joecombs7468]

I was stationed in Connecticut when John died. Right after they buried him on Martha's Vineyard someone left a sign on his grave that said: "He could have given us years of entertainment but Noooooooo" Aykroyd & Belushi were great together.

[@TheTapesArchive]

I'm probably going to hell but I chuckled at that one...haha thanks Joe!

[@imamejmg]

I enjoyed this Immeasurably. I’ve been passionate Aykroyd and Belushi since early childhood. I recognize bits of this but I don’t remember hearing it before. This is a treasure that has massively improved my mood today.

[@ciadella1971]

This is an incredible interview. These were the days man.

[@TheTapesArchive]

Thanks for checking it out and commenting.

[@theitalianskunkwhisperer6843]

This is radio gold with these 2..How great and fantastic this is and all the info they give. The origins of "But Noooo..."...The Coneheads and The Samurai?? AND....they're starting to film a movie called 1941 and writing another one called The Blues Brothers. Wow!! Priceless!!

[@TheTapesArchive]

Agree 10000%

[@propdoctor21564]

Great interview... I am loving these old hidden gems.

[@professionalwidow]

i love the way john speaks.

[@arriuscalpurniuspiso]

If only Dan didn't need to dominate him

[@JankyJankProductions]

Great interview, we just did a video on 1941 and this came up as a suggestion. Happy it did, keep up the good work

[@sbrechegno]

@JankyJankProductions that's sonds great where can i fini your 1941 video?

[@allsystemsgo8678]

John did at least three lines during this interview

[@jedijones]

Very interesting to hear about the origin of the Coneheads and the Samurai. Also to hear that some of Dan's earliest ideas for Blues Brothers made it into the final film.

[@comicrazys]

Fantastic!!! Thank you!!!

[@AskJoe]

WOW! So glad you posted this.

[@yournamehere6002]

This is great! I miss Belushi. I miss the original Saturday Night Live, before it became....SNL, whatever that is. Lucky to be there at (almost) the beginning.

[@thedarintino]

Must’ve been quite the snowstorm Danny & John were in before arriving at the studio.

[@TheTapesArchive]

Before and during

[@allsystemsgo8678]

I hear plenty of sniffing noises, lol

[@almostcensoredconservative3512]

@@allsystemsgo8678 I was at the shooting in Wauconda Illinois in 1978 where they drove on Phil's Beach in Wauconda. Belushi did not hide the fact he was snorting coke. He was bringing female lifeguards into his RV and offering them coke. Whenever he left his RV people would sing, "It's raining it's snowing is a hurricane a blowing ..." Crazy times.

[@karlepaul6632]

RIP John... 40 years ago today

[@dancollins982]

Good stuff. Have seen/heard a few interviews with both together and always the same. DA constantly interrupts JB or answers questions that were directed towards JB. Strange. Would have like to hear more from JB, a grown man who can answer for himself.

[@TheTapesArchive]

Might have been the sniff powder

[@arriuscalpurniuspiso]

Belushi interviews are generally terrible because Dan Akyroyd never let him talk

[@almostcensoredconservative3512]

You can tell Belushi was coked up in this interview. You can hear how his nose is clogged in his voice. 7:20 you can hear Belushi snorting and all plugged up. Not snorting coke, but his nose is definitely clogged up like he has a cold.

[@FoolishPrankster]

Belushi sounds like he has a head full of blow.

[@yournamehere6002]

28:44 "Toshiro Mifune's in the movie..."

[@AlanBerry]

Does anyone think maybe some nose candy is being enjoyed during the interview? I swear I can hear the chopping of lines and nose drip.

[@propdoctor21564]

Yes I would say that's a good possibility especially Belushi who sounds pretty jacked up. 😁

[@CamelotNewPress]

@@propdoctor21564 27:48 wow Danny...

[@AlanBerry]

@@CamelotNewPress I think that's John

[@javierbravo7509]

@@AlanBerry john's actually talking when it happens and then listen to danny's talk right after

[@chrisgodlaproductions3106]

Definitely. They may not be snorting right then and there but they are definitely sucking back the drains from the mound they snorted right before the Interview.

[@guskross6918]

Just wow. Is there a Part 2?

[@TheTapesArchive]

lol! Yep pretty crazy. There is somewhere out there but we don't have it.

[@johnweeks2201]

The Tapes Archive R. I. P John Belushi 😥😥😥😭

[@trevorhembrough1290]

This was for King Biscuit Flower Hour

[@Bertiesghost]

Ackroyd has a fantastic imagination.

[@TheTapesArchive]

Especially after some of that powder. lol

[@arriuscalpurniuspiso]

Wish he would have shut up for 5 minutes and let John talk

[@lucaswilliams4476]

John sounds very enthusiastic here, probably the routine of SNL was better for him than the ups and downs of movies and all the decisions he had to make without that inbuilt structure

[@yournamehere6002]

25:30.....with the CB radio"

[@almostcensoredconservative3512]

Wow 21:04 Belushi is really clogged up. Damn.

[@TheTapesArchive]

lol very clogged up

[@andrewberry5524]

tell me more about that sponsor

[@DbeeM]

Sounds like some coke snortin’ in the background while Aykroyd is speaking.

[@TheTapesArchive]

There is all kinds of coke sniffing going on..lol

[@chrisfimple973]

Please take care of yourself please
