Spa guy gets a little too big for his britches sometimes. He does do a lot of research but he is always too sure that he's correct & that's just not always the case. Nothing personal against him but he's too confidant that he's right all the time at least in the videos of his that I've seen!! You have great memories of Elvis & so many of them to share so keep on telling us because we want to hear them!!

Seriously, I have been following Elvis since the age of 4. That’s exactly 51 years ago. In those 51 years I don’t think a day has passed where I don’t think of Elvis or read about Elvis or play and Elvis movie or Elvis song, My family even suggested for me to get counselling when I was young because all I talk about was Elvis and nothing else mattered especially school grades😫( believe me nothing has changed, luckily my wife and kids understand or I’d be divorced ). I have met many of the guys over the years,BUT !!!!, I must tell you, I hold the ‘Smith’s’ especially tight to my heart. Always considered Billy my Number #1 when it comes to Elvis, I could honestly sit and listen to him and his lovely wife Jo all day and night . We have been blessed that they are able to share their life with Elvis, with us true fans . God Bless💯🙏

I’ve honestly never heard Spa Guy say he was the best or even one of the best Elvis researchers. I highly respect the Smith family and Spa Guy. I’m not sure how there could be such a big disagreement over where a movie was shown. Maybe there’s a lack of communication which is really a shame. The fighting on Facebook is definitely a shame and is divisive amongst everybody that loves Elvis. Again,I love Mr Billy and Mrs Joe. Danielle too! Hopefully this can be resolved asap.

I enjoy everyone's videos- Ashley Drew, Spa Guy, MMK, Globetrotting With Trey, EFM. I think you all do a great job with what you do. I've been watching all of these from the very beginning. Lately I've got behind on everyone's videos, and I'm out of the loop on what has happened. But, I have to say, I'm shocked. You all seemed to have respect for each other and seemed like such a great group of people. I think I noticed a change when Spa Guy got the Dojo museum. I noticed that Ashley didn't comment (I don't think so) or didn't participate with any of that, and I found that quite odd, since they always seemed supportive of each other. Maybe it had something to do with the bike discovery. Then I noticed that some of you started selling merchandise and some started asking for donations and it seemed to become more commercial in nature, than it was when it began. Maybe there's competition or jealously? Whatever the case, I wish everyone could roll back to the way they were in the beginning. It was a form of entertainment, for an Elvis fan and not what it's become. I wish you all luck with getting your differences worked out. You all have a lot of knowledge and interesting stories about Elvis. Thanks for the work and time you put into your videos! I truly enjoy them!

I have no beef but I think some people saying Spa Guy is the greatest Elvis Historian is ridiculous. There are people that have dedicated years and years to researching Elvis and putting information out they are the historians. I’m not saying Spa Guy doesn’t put in the time or effort but he still doesn’t know enough of the stories. The people who lived the stories are being treated as if they are just fans and should look to people like Spa Guy for the FACTS.

Then when she saw the bicycle in the smokehouse, took pics of it and literally laid it in his hands, he ran with it and took the notoriety and claim to it. Went so far as to BUY his way on Gates of Graceland to brag about it without inviting Ashley to come along and degradingly referred to her as his “sidekick”. He is a narcissist and a misogynist. Every one is beneath him, especially women. I have no use for neither.

👏❤️. Cannot understand it either, to me it's one of most disturbing things in the Elvis world nowadays. It's also silly - it could be so easy!! I so much wish they had been involved in the new movie, the insight they would have been able to give! And maybe they were ... and are keeping it for themselves for the time being? Would love that❤️ Billy was cast in the movie. I hope Baz Luhrmann portrayed him rightly❤️

I've been a big supporter of all these Elvis channels but to me Billy is saying, I'm Happy to be No. 1 historian but I may or may not tell you depending on how I feel or maybe I'll use it in my own video. No... this is seemingly a lot about money and future revenue from videos it would seem.

Hi Guys, I love listening to all the Facts when it comes to your life growing up in Graceland. I'm from Greenville Tn and I still have the country accent, and listening to you all takes me back home. I would like to say Thank you for always TCb just as you did growing up in the good old days with Elvis, people who don't know the facts should listen to someone like you and Teresa who were there during all those days. I've been an Elvis fan since I was a little girl 5 yrs old and I'm 61 now, and I just want to hear these true life events you all had with Elvis the man , not just the image or myth, I was lucky enough to see him 3 time's in concert, the first time I was just 11 yrs old in Knoxville TN on April 8 1972 at the stokley athletic center in Knoxville, I wish I could go back to that day and time and live it all over again., That was the best day of my life and I still have my ticket stubs from all concerts and the pictures I bought from the vendors, at the second concert in Atlanta, I was 15 in 75 and I bought a pair of binoculars from a vendor to get a better look, and I sold the same ones back to that guy. I'm sorry for rambling, it's just hard to focus when I think back to those days. I want you to all keep up the great Elvis stories, it's so beautiful to hear from the people who knew him most, and loved him as you do. God bless you all and keep on TCb. 🤺🤺🤺🤺⚡⚡⚡⚡⚡🙏🙏🙏🙏👑👑👑👑

Some wonderful work going on to preserve and re live Elvis history through all of these channels. However, you are all adults and if you have a problem you need to confront and work it out off YT. There is enough Elvis to go round and multiple points of view of Elvis’ life. These problems are only going to divide you cause trouble and keep EPE in control of all Elvis history. I personally love to see and re live the history with trey, spa guy, Ashley drew, and hearing y’all’s first hand counts. There is room for all and you just need to agree to disagree and support each other and work together mostly important work it out privately as it should be handled.

Thank you for this! Many of us have been talking about exactly this, and are fed up with his arrogance and self-proclaimed "historian" status. Also, if you dare to disagree with something, he blocks you! The title "historian" involves a lot more than just making videos, no matter how entertaining they might be. Definition: "a student or writer of history especially : one who produces a scholarly synthesis." Well, all of us are students of Elvis' life and career, and SG has no right to say he is THE Expert.
