OMG! Metal Band Reacts To Elvis Presley - Unchained Melody (Rapid City 1977) THE WOLF HUNTERZ React

[@maryblaylock3219]

Elvis was so sick during this performance, yet he still gave it his all. His body was worn completely out, but that beautiful spirit, and voice never did!! God knows how much a person can take, so it was time to rest. REST in peace, Elvis!!

[@Indy1831]

His voice never left him……..6 weeks after this he passed away……The King!

[@walterhale]

True. That would be 8 weeks though.

[@walterhale]

@Art Antipop 100% agreed. Just setting the record straight as the same mistake gets repeated even in the best of productions most notably with George Klein's voiceover "just six weeks prior to his death".

[@typodhitzemann6851]

Think this song was first recorded by the Righteous Brothers. Not an easy song to sing given the subtle chord changes. Dad to hear him slipping a bit in his banter, yet he still had that sense of self deprecation via his good humor and sincerety. His ego was grounded. I was 12 yrs old when I got lucky to see him in Portland Oregon Nov 26, 1976. Even at that tender age, being a child fan could definitely see, hear and feel the divide of how great he'd always been, nearly a shadow by comparison. Yet...by any other standard save for him and him alone, had the former Elvis had never been experienced at all - he'd have blown doors and roofs off of us. At mid show, JD Summer and band would do their usual 15 mins of performance so Elvis could get a break. We were directly behind the stage in the oval coluseum with clear view of the show dead middle behind his center stage.. He often turned around and performed each song in part to those of us behind and there were comp speakers so no sound diminished. He walked back toward us in the darkness and sat 20 feet directly below on a folding chair, crossed his legs and drank punch in the tight rounded corner where the place essentially splits the 2 sides of seats. My friend and I kept yelling down and quickly realized to wait for one of those couple second silent spots. It worked. He first looked around then up. We were literally on top his head.could've dropped a coin literally on it. He waved up then stood and turned around(boy do I wish to God I'd had a camera for that one). He in turn waited a couple attempts for that quiet moment, said something like, "Hi boys" with a genuine smile and wave with his punch and something else that drowned by noise. Guessing like, "hope yer enjoying or having fun" and "thank you", turned and sat down. When it was time for him to go out, if he didn't turn again and wave a half turn😮...it was then I changed my 'meh' of the show to incredible. It wasn't the performance rating change...it was him, genuine, attentive and warm taking a little extra...for us 2 12 year old fans. God bless him. The King 👑 100% true story. Hell it's not hard to believe by any fan. That was way he was🤓👍. 9 mo's later, I'll never forget it. Blown away he'd died😥

@@chrismiller5875 Amphetamines before every show, just to get him on the stage, he was a full blown drug addict at the end, whether prescription or street, huge amounts including neat morphine. It's a miracle he lived so long. He had many doctors, Dr Nick was with him when touring, if one Dr wouldn't subscribe he went to another. even dentists Yes Kim his FAME and the drugs to cope with it killed him in the end, he was becoming a recluse. Parker was his downfall, the yes men were the only ones he trusted and felt relaxed with, they did try to get him to stop taking the drugs but they were just threatened with being outcast, no one said NO to Elvis, the drugs changed him. Amphetamines were prescribed for him when he was in the army to keep him awake while on guard duty, that was the beginning, he liked the feeling and did take for recreation until he was addicted. All his ailments were caused by the addiction except the glaucoma, have you ever seen a healthy drug addict, his last 2 years he was hospitalised under the guise of exhaustion 6 times, he left hospital and immediately started taking them again, no rehab clinics then.

@Frostbite empatado con Michael Jackson, ambos eran unos monstruos, y bueno por algo son los reyes..

[@clboelcke]

Although his voice stays amazing, when I watch Elvis perform in his later years, I always thought he looked like a man who was ill, not just on drugs. I am from a medical family, and my dad, a doctor, always thought the same thing. He would comment that Elvis looked like he was on cortisone (which I have recently found out he was for his lungs). You have to watch the video, or read the book, Elvis: destined to die young by Sally Hoedel. She is a professional journalist and a lifetime Elvis fan who always questioned why did Elvis, his mom, and her two brothers, have similar deaths and health issues. She did extensive research into Elvis's family health history and found out that his mother's parents were 1st cousins who married, and as a result, passed on several genetic health issues to Gladys, her two brothers, and Elvis. Elvis suffered from young boy of insomnia, and bowel issues. We now would be able to diagnose that as Hirschsprung's disease (congenital megacolon) causing terrible constipation and abdominal pain. Sally's research clearly documents that Elvis, his maternal grandmother, and his mother all had an autoimmune disorder that affected their liver and lungs. Autoimmune diseases are only recently better understood. However, due to the fact that Elvis grew up really below the poverty line for years, they had no access to medical care. In the early 1970s, Elvis's doctor did try to understand why a man of his age would have so many health issues, but the tests that would have discovered his illness were not developed. There were no CT scans, MRIs, ultrasounds, etc. Therefore, they threw the drugs they had available at his symptoms, without really treating the underlying disease. It was only in his autopsy report that they found out he suffered from an auto-immune inflammatory process. Did he take prescription drugs, Yes; but, I think, unlike an addict who takes drugs to escape life, Elvis was taking them for real medical ailments that neither he, nor his family, entourage, or doctors totally understood, and that he was trying to figure out how to survive and continue to be Elvis. Sally states in her book: "There are eleven main systems in the human body and Elvis endured disorder/disease in nine of them. His heart (circulatory system), his lungs (respiratory system), and his bowels (digestive/excretory systems) required medication. Insomnia affected his nervous system. The adrenal gland failure and resulting low testosterone are both issues of the endocrine system. His immune system was compromised. His urinary system was not functioning properly. The arthritis that caused Elvis severe pain throughout his body impacted his muscular system and skeletal system. There is clearly more at play here than dependence on prescription medication when more than eighty percent of Elvis’ bodily systems did not function properly. When we add to that the evidence that I have uncovered proving that of those nine, five-the circulatory (heart disease), respiratory (Alpha 1), digestive/excretory (megacolon), nervous (insomnia) and immune (hypogammaglobulinemia)-were present since birth and certainly prior to the prescription drug use that accompanied fame." Elvis was actually struggling with undiagnosed and then misdiagnosed, congenital illnesses from childhood. This is why for a 42-year-old he had a body that was physiologically much older. I think Elvis suffered much of his life. Elvis dedicated his life to getting his family out of poverty. At the end of his life, he had more than 100 people on his payroll, and I believe that he was a very ill man who was struggling to continue to provide for those he loved and to give everyone what they wanted--Elvis Presley. I am thankful that Sally has done some interviews that are posted on KZbin, and has written a book that helps us understand the man, and that gives him back his integrity. He was an ill man who had doctors throwing medications, that were available at the time, at symptoms without really treating the actual diseases. He was a man trying desperately to survive, and who wanted to continue to bless the world with his unique gifts. It is my opinion that Baz Luhrman got this wrong in his movie.

[@OfficialJoeKingOne]

I think Baz only supported old rumors of his influences. Very little about the man and artist. I appreciate any tribute to Elvis, I believe that the best tribute to Elvis is to show others him for themselves the immense and extraordinary talent that he alone had. In addition to being one of the most generous human beings on the planet.

[@vintvarner16]

Exactly what I tell people, most of the clips start with Elvis already at the piano, starting to sing, don't get a full sense about this performance. Elvis was mumbling, slurring, stuttered, he had some serious downers to be this way. So you think when you hear him slurring, you think omg, this isn't Elvis, however then he starts playing and singing, it was a totally different Elvis, hitting notes perfectly, his face lit back up, his eyes were full of life. You think this isn't the same person from 5 minutes ago. This is haunting but yet love it. What I really loved was near the end when says "God I need your love" you could have heard a pin drop, no sounds. That just shows the power and charisma, it's just Elvis

"Unchained Melody" is a 1955 song with music by Alex North and lyrics by Hy Zaret. North wrote the music as a theme for the little-known prison film Unchained (January 1955),[1] hence the song title. Todd Duncan sang the vocals for the film soundtrack.

"Unchained Melody" was written in 1955; it's about a WWII soldier yearning for his dearly beloved who's back at home waiting for him. 3 different artists hit the Top 10 with it in 1955. The Righteous Brothers recorded the song in 1965 & theirs is perhaps the more well-known version as their recording was used in the movie: "Ghosts." Numerous other artists have since recorded it. Elvis's is my personal favorite. This is a very difficult performance for fans to watch as Elvis performed it just 8 weeks before his death. He is clearly ill, his breathing labored when he's speaking and yet his beautiful vocals came through. Thank you for your reactions.

Baz did an amazing job at showing his end of life so respectfully. Two weeks ago I went to Nashville to go to the Country Music Hall Of Fame and a tour of RCA Studio B (my favorite part). Elvis recorded some 200+ songs there from 1957-1971 and had his own wall. The actual main studio was so surreal. Same floor he walked on, his favorite piano you can sit at and the colored lights he had put in. They played a medley of 5 songs and a couple were played with all the lights out. I had tears streaming down my face. Later that night went to see Tim Foust and Austin Brown of Home Free and some other friends do a show at City Winery. Austin did a solo acapella version of "Unchained Melody" that was amazing. Not Elvis, but 2nd best. More tears. You should go if you have a chance to Nashville. Austin Brown has a solo KZbin channel where he did a video for "Unchained Melody" so you can hear for yourself. Geoff Castellucci of VoicePlay covered Elvis's song "Way Down" in early June. It hit #1 posthumously for Elvis. Geoff did a great job paying homage to the king without it looking ridiculous. No jumpsuits or anything. Not sure if you ever watched "Game Of Thrones", but today I think Geoff is releasing his cover of a song from series called "Rains Of Castamere" on his KZbin channel. VoicePlay probably releasing their newest cover today as well for "I Can't Make You Love Me". Love your channel. Could you react to Elvis singing "Wooden Heart" from his 1960 movie GI Blues? Very handsome in uniform and singing to a female puppet. Elvis can even charm a puppet. One of my favorite movies of his.

[@Immortalheart66]

Seen this 100 times. He was having trouble speaking in the beginning. But when he starting singing it was other worldly. He gave everything. He nailed it. The greatest entertainer of the 20th century,..period. Grand reaction as usual. Thank you for that.😀🤘✌️

🕺🏻Priceless!!🎉 Mr. Austin Butler does a great/wonderful job as him. Better than other Actors before. It's a nice to see Elvis being captured as well as remembered this way & If he truly said he wouldn't be remembered. After his passing.. both of your reaction just Shows how wrong he was and I'm glad. Check out his X.-rated Rock/Blues Audio. Before Pink, Alice Cooper, Even MJ.... Elvis has his moments with cursed/swear words. And till sexy as usual with his voice. It's called A Stranger in My Hometown.. I believe. Enjoy as always.🎸🎹🎤

Started to watch you guys for your Elvis reactions and I'm loving them, please keep them coming! I'd recommend the 68 special videos and Patch It Up and Mystery Train/Tiger Man from the Vegas show.

Elvis played the piano on several of his songs. Search “You’ll Never Walk Alone”, from 1967. Wow! It’s amazing. Plus. He played in a few more, such as I Will Be True, and It’s Still Here.

[@OfficialJoeKingOne]

Skip the movie, watch the entire ‘68 Comeback Special, “That’s the way it is” and “Elvis on Tour” to see the real King.

Get Mesmerized By Elvis Presley's Soothing Voice in “Unchained Melody” “Unchained Melody” by Elvis Presley was originally written by Hy Zaret, while the melody was provided by Alex North. It was used as a theme song for the movie Unchained (1955), wherein the vocals were done by Todd Duncan

6 to 8wks unfortunately he passed. The greatest everything in my life time. Great reactions, Thant you. Bobby Hatfield, sang it. Thank you.

gees. Breaks our heart to see Elvis go out like this.ive been a fan for many years and this hurts everytime I see this.

[@patriciaesposito8941]

He died six weeks after this performance. You will notice how often he has to take breaths to get through it. He knew he was very sick. His heart was giving out and he knew it. He had many other maladies too. The Righteous Brothers were first on the song. He wasn’t kidding. He really thought he was a less than good piano player. I’ve been a lifelong fan since the 50’s.

[@dulceseco4191]

The last show of Elvis before your death and his voice still powerful because he is and will always be THE KING OF ROCK'N ROLL 👑⚡️🧑⚡️❤️! May God bless him in the HEAVEN ❤️🙏.

Elvis is my grandmother's favorite musician. She got to see him live. My music teacher first introduced me to his song blue moon, and later unchained melody. I can't hear his voice without thinking of my grandma.

[@Powersparky59]

Yes he passed 2 months after this , very sad as only happy when performing,love this man and his music since i was 12

[@martinwhite9633]

A fan since I was 6 in 1973, this part of the wonderful baz lurhman film with Austin butler is what blew me away. I’ve watched it back a thousand times , when they cut to him in real life. I’ve never been in a cinema theatre when everyone was stunned into emotional silence

The KING!!!
