Elvis Presley's Short Temper 

People always forget Elvis was a human being some act like he wasn’t allowed to get mad

Yes, he had a temper but he immediately regretted it. He couldn't stay angry for a long time. He was only human, like the rest of us! He wasn't perfect, so what! He wasn't a god! ❤❤❤❤

Elvis had a good reason to lose his temper or be angry at times, these guys the MM that worked for him love to make themselves out as angels when we all know they weren't, fecking hangers onners, Elvis did everything for them, looked after them like no other, and they would write a book or say anything in a video/docu just for a quick dollar, give me a break

So nobody in the world has a Tempe but Elvis??? PLEASE!!! I'm 75and ihave a terrible one. In later years I have toned it down!! Came with age!!! Everybody needs to get over it!!!

ELVIS had many qualities , and he was Just human, like anybody else.💎🕺🥇

Wrong title. He had a temper, a bad temper when pushed, like everybody else, but it wasn't a short temper, otherwise he'd be snapping at people all the time. I didn't know Elvis, of course, but I've read enough to know it wasn't a short temper.

I have struggled with a violent temper all my life and when it hits, we go into a dark place where all levels of acceptable human behavior no longer exist, and we only hurt the ones we love because its safe, and they'll take us back.

People have tempers. Why is it coming across as though he was an angel or something? He was human like the rest of us. The stories of his flaws and all show how amazing he was. He was perfectly imperfect! ❤️❤️

Thankfull,y I never witnessed his temper like this but I certainly heard about it. Fact is he was immature and coddled in a lot of ways and I hated seeing that side. Stardom affects everyone don't kid yourselves. They act humble on TV, interviews and what have you, but get them alone and it's another side. But I loved the guy regardless.

He was just like the rest of us ( in my opinion)... fragile...flawed...human... imperfect..along with very special qualities too. Lisa Marie said in a interview I saw " I am not perfect...my dad was not perfect...and either are you".

I too, like Elvis can get VERY angry, very fast. That category 5 hurricane describes it best. Some 30 minutes later is all gone. No grudges! But I lost some pretty good friends over the years because of it and I'm not proud of that. It's not easy to get rid of it though. No matter what, Elvis was himself at all times. No masks, no games! Take it or leave it! Rest In Peace Elvis!

I think that Lady who took his cigar out of his mouth is very rude to that , bad manners, she should know better, as for having a bad temper we all another side when the buttons are pressed.

Males quickly curl up. But Elvis was a straw fire in anger. He didn't take revenge and wasn't grudging. At some point he was perfect right to be furious and bad mood 🙄

Some ONE taught me to Temper mine... (most of the time now...)

I like how everybody in the comments are talking like the guys said that Elvis wasnt allowed to have a temper or he was the only person with a Mean temper. Also, they are allowed critize hos bad sides. Elvis wasnt some god, he was a human like many of you people already has stated

I also have a short temper. I feel it’s normal because we’re all human. 💗

ELVIS 😇❤️ was A GIVER WITH A VERY BIG HEART 💜 TOWARDS SO MANY PEOPLE OF VARIOUS ETHNICITY 🤩 AND TOWARDS. A LOT OF CHARITIES 🤑 Elvis great grandma 💓 was Cherokee American 💐 Indian 🌈. Elvis was multi - talented and a triple threat. Elvis was a sweet 🧁 very giving 🤑 humble proud funny down to earth 🌍 very hardworking, talented, sensitive, and compassionate human being, artist, vocalist 🎤 musician 🎸🥁🎹. dancer 🩰 choreographer 🩰 music 🎶 composer/arranger/producer and an underappreciated but talented actor 🌈

When my ego got the best of me my pilot light would turn into a roaring fire. It took me many years to finally control it and not let it control me. Unfortunately at his level of success it’s very difficult to do any inner work because your to busy trying to have fun with all the toys you can play with.

I think I first heard about Elvis' bad temper nearly 40 years ago when it was depicted in the "Elvis and Me" movie. I've even had my fair share of episodes of bad temper, mostly in the car with slow drivers in front of me, but I've found I can't do it because it makes me feel awful, like I'll have a stroke if I don't calm down.

I’m a huge fan of elvis Presley’s and I love 💕 elviss music and flims too elvis will always be the king of rock and roll 🎸 my dream is to visit Graceland and communicate with elvis and Lisa Marie and elviss grandson Ben aswell I respect elvis and his family and friends too tcb I always live elvis 6:33pm 🕺⚡️⚡️⚡️⚡️⚡️ thanks tcb 8:28pm

My great grandfather was Irish, with a hot temper. My mother always told me that I got my temper from him😂😂 Not to mention I had orangey red hair growing up. I was feisty and still to this day at 33 have to control my temper!!

I just located this account. Buzz Cason relates, "she slung the contents of her cocktail glass right into Elvis's face. ... The cigar went 'phhhtttt' and he jumped up. ... He grabbed her by the hair. 'Get this bitch out of here!' he screamed, leading her toward the front door as she struggled to keep up with the rather quick pace as he was pulling her locks.

I’m sorry I wasn’t around to help Elvis string expletives.

Priscilla was no angel. Elvis said she was always feisty. Remember when she threw a vase at him, during the Ann-Margret episode? She could have e killed him!! Smashed his face!! Anyone who talks in a self-indulgent manner, expect to experience the opposite. Sometimes Priscilla was a hell-cat!! She was insanely jealous and admitted that after Ann-Margret, she never trusted him again. She sure took her revenge on Elvis with Mike Stone.

It's very difficult to separate a superstar of elvis presleys calibre .let's face it were not amm equal when you compare elvis talent to anybody else but as human beings we are defiantly equal elvis had faults frailty insecuritys and moods as well as good days and bad days like everybody else no better no worse

Elvis was human...

Элвис был большим капризным ребенком😊 Если бы у него не было таких негативных моментов в характере - это был бы Ангел 👼 во плоти, это был бы не Элвис.

We are human.. period. no one on this planet was or is perfect.

Here he goes again with his trash talking... Still cashing in on Elvis and he's not even here to defend himself! Uggh Leave this wonderful human being who brought so much happiness and love to the world REST IN PARADISE 🕊️🙏🏻❤🕯️⭐👑⚡ TcB tLc

Wow! Elvis pulled Christina Crawford by her hair and dragged her across the coffee table and threw her out, and then SHE apologized to HIM.

I have a short temper too when people are using me and stupid. A short fuse I have. 🤣🤣. So Sir EP is allowed to have these moments. To be honest my stomach turns when I see this guy talking about Elvis zzzzz. Ok so what if he was a bodyguard, the fact they wrote a book that just a No no to me. So I never watch what he had to say. I am the same frame of mind as his daughter.🤬

Wow! Maybe Elvis was unhappy hence the short temper???

I’ve got an Irish temper so who doesn’t have a fault

Hmmm...so the " friends" are gossiping about him. I wonder if any of them would be OK if their flaws were being told to the world especially by people who they thought were friends. Just wondering.

I have a bad temper , my choice is to control it , I have only lost it twice in my life , Elvis lived in an isolated world, so who could blame him !!!!!!😊🇬🇧

Funny how these guys the MM had an awful lot to say but AFTER Elvis died. Really? And what about the way they behaved like Lisa Marie said she didnt like.

Oh and by the way we all have short tempers when it comes to it think about it are you perfect say the person in this world who is perfect TCB

These Guys I SWEAR... Except for Jerry and with Billy Smith's Channel - Larry Geller want to talk so much *SH*T* about Elvis -- Like He is the ONLY PERSON that had a Temper... Funny Jerry got along well because Jerry was not a confrontational PERSON Where Marty Sonny Red Fike have BIG MOUTHS... and I am SURE OR MY OPINION IS Elvis didn't like Confrontation!! SO They butted heads... BUT MARTY SONNY FIKE ETC WANT TO COME ACROSS AS IF ELVIS WENT OFF ON THEM NOOO THEY DID NOTHING TO POSSIBLY PISS ELVIS OFF!!! CHARLIE NEVER TALKED ABOUT THAT...! I'VE SEEN HIS INTERVIEWS -- LARRY GELLER NEVER SAID THAT!!! ONLY THESE MM DUDES THAT AFTER ELVIS DIED WAS GOING AFTER HIM AND NOTHING GOOD SAID ABOUT ELVIS ONLY HIS TEMPER AND MEDICATION AND STUBBORN NOOOO NONE OF THEM DID PILLS RIGHT? THEY ADMIT TO IT.... THEY ALL DID THEM.... AND I GUARANTEE YOU THEY WERE MOUTHY WITH ELVIS.. AND HE FIRED BACK.... LIKE JERRY SAID ELVIS NEVER CROSSED HIM IN ALL THOSE YEARS JERRY IS A MEEK MILD MANNERS MAN.... THAT TELLS YOU ALOT IN MY OPINION

That's not the story regarding Christina - according to the story by Joe Esposito: "Christina Crawford, the adopted daughter of Joan Crawford, paid Elvis a visit. The group was scattered, and I found myself in the TV room seated across a large coffee table from Elvis and Christina watching "Bonanza," one of the few shows in color then. Elvis had been puffing on a cigar making small talk with me as Christina tickled him and kidded around, apparently seeking more direct attention. Suddenly, she slung the contents of her cocktail glass right into Elvis's face. We're talking close range here, folks. The cigar went "phhhtttt" and he jumped up. I leapt up in surprise. He grabbed her by the hair; "Get this bitch out of here!" he screamed." Dragging her across the marble coffee table, kicking her in the butt and led her toward the front door as she struggled to keep up with the rather quick pace as he was pulling her locks. In just a few moments, a disheveled Elvis returned to the TV lounge, telling me apologetically, "Man, I'm sorry, I wasn't raised to treat a woman like that. She's crazy...I don't know what's wrong with her."

That temperament is typical of a great artist.

con tutto lo stress che accumulava ogni giorno, con tutte le responsabilità che aveva verso la famiglia e voi membri della MM, con la preoccupazione di far bene il suo lavoro, con il timore di non far felice il suo pubblico, con l'ansia che lo assaliva prima di entrare sul palco scenico per cui la pressione sanguigna poteva arrivare fino a 200, non potevate lasciarlo sfogare e ritrovare la calma? E quando oltre alla vita brillante che vi faceva fare, ai regali sostanziosi che vi faceva ,alla cura che metteva nell'ascoltare e risolvere i vostri problemi, invece di spaventarvi come femmiinucce, non capivate che era un essere umano con un macigno di problemi sulle spalle? Un essere umano speciale?

Ну и зачем они это рассказывали, у них самих может характер в сто раз хуже был , чем у ЭЛВИСА .Старые сплетники .Пиявки. При жизни жили за него счёт и после смерти ЭЛВИСА зарабатывали на нём деньги.

💖I believe that in all the cases described here, Elvis is one hundred percent right! I think that in other cases, which people around Elvis tell like scary tales, Elvis is right and fair. Just need to see the reason. I am sure that Elvis is not hot-tempered at all, Elvis is fair.💖

He was a HUMAN being, surrounded by some people who wanted MORE and MORE from him..😢 Elvis got suspucious on supposely " family and so called friends" who betrayed him and hurt him by their betrayal...!! If this is true, I really do not blame Elvis..😮😢❤

If that's the worst he ever did, he's a saint compared to most!!!

Can’t stand these people who talk about Elvis but for years they took his money.

Bless Elvis we have the same temper lmao. He my kinda cray that’s y I love him lmao

We all have a temper. PLEASE stop judging him. Let him REST IN PEACE. He was human. I don't care. He was a human being. 😢😢

I have a short temper. and I struggle with self injurious behavioral problems so the only person I really get angry with is myself. The only time I get mad at someone else is if I think they are going to influence me in a bad way.

The only other who had a temper was Red

Also, the constant attention & adoration would do that to a human being-he doesn’t know whose being real vs. who really cares about him vs whose there just because he’s world famous.

The girl saying sorry for being dragged by the scruff of her hair is not on.

These people forget all the good he did for them and made them rich, after he died talked bad about him too still make money, take all these negative videos down nobody likes them😂

There is no excuse for abuse. I do not care who a person is.

She should never have apologised, if Elvis had more of that reality he would have lived to an old age. He physically assaulted her and SHE apologised ?

I don't tolerate quick tempered men. Sounds too much like my dad and ex-husband. Nope. I'm only 5' tall, but I've gone toe to toe with men who lose it like that. I love Elvis, but he probably would have shot me for not hunkering down during his tantrum.

..wow, she wrote "s o r r y" in cursive and everything, with all the fine penmanship of a preschooler. ..musta spent 5 minutes on each letter gettin it perfect. Nothing but the best for the King. ..check it. 👑

Im always hearing new stories , how many more stories need to be told ?

Well,I am very even tempered and nice person but when angry there is usually a very good reason. When I am exhausted it is worse. I think most of us have that quality. People are complex with many qualities why would Elvis be any different.

Great video what is this from ?! Please

Why is this all coming out now , he’s been dead 46 years .

allso in the bad temper club with elvis were buddy rich and old blue eyes.

Even God has a temper when we sin He's just holding it back because when He blows up He will blow up (tornadoes, hurricanes, earthquakes, diseases, famines)

I don't hurt others physically though

Interesting

So all there saying is that he had a rough life?😂 people get mad? Still love EP 😂 that woman shouldn’t have grabbed that cigar out of his mouth unless u wanted to be cussed the fuck out lol.

Nothing like grabbing a few parts from the Memphis Mafia documentary to give the sycophants more air time.

Zenada, nie mozna tego juz sluchac!!!. " Moimi oczami", Elvis mial napisac ksiazke, chcial napisac prawde, uwazal, ze jego sukces przypisuje sie wielu ludziom bezpodstawnie. Ile Elvis klamstw by zdemaskowal , ilu ludzi pokazal prawdziwe oblicze, moze dlatego umarl?

Category 5 I been around a temper like his and her temper scared the shit. Out. Of. Me

This comment section is filled with hyper-emotional violent hysterics. Exploring like a toddler on steroids repeatedly is NOT NORMAL adult behaviour

I think most talented singers are pretty much the same. I wonder what the correlation is?

Amphétamines dont help very much on your bad temper

The Stalk footage. I mean, you're better off not using anything at that point

300

He was so unhappy and with so much pressure. What would anyone expect? I don't think I'm off-base wondering if his death was accidentally on purpose. The good news: a great sense of humor, kind and very generous.

So much of this behavior is so much like a relationship I had with a narcissist. I didn't know what was going to set him off, then he would be charming, funny. A cycle that got worse over time and apologizing was out of the question or not meant. I love Elvis, heard about his dark side, sadly. That can become very controlling and keep you off balance. Draining.

Look at all the crap he went through anybody would have one to Tom colonel he lost his mamma

Why are they talking bout elvis like that he was tired of hanger owners he should have sacked them all they were scroungers leave the man alone they took advantage

Nothing like catering to a petulant child when they go into a temper tantrum.

What documentary is this from please?

Yeah what do you know..... with a manager like that..... researche people.

Elvis is just like me looks every thing

I think all u ppl in the comments need to calm down...Those guy's didn't say anything so bad about him..The topic was about Elvis's angry..No big deal.. Personally i didn't like to hear he pulled a woman by the hair... That's deep...When u have a temper, words can cut like a knife...

I have said this before. Elvis should have focused more on being a songwriter. It would have given him more of a purpose in his career. To me, it is very disappointing that Elvis never became a songwriter.

So because of who he was he had the right to pull the girl by hair across the end table. Instead of just politely saying something to her. Any normal guy would be brought up on abuse charges. I swear Elvis fanatics this jack off could do know wrong he was not this kind natured person everyone thought he was now the behind the scene's truth comes out and people are still in denial.

She got what she deserved.

2nd story... don,t take it wrong because it was woman....it,s just like anyone who disrespected you in your house you would be like " you better get out or i will move you " kinda thing

It sounds as though these guys, at least some of them, actually looked up to Elvis as though he was a god or something. I think that's sad.

Let's not mince words: he was physically abusive to women.

Sounds like narcissistic rage. Could be when his mk-ultra programming wasn’t quite up to speed.

Sounds like a spoiled star who always got his way.

Frank Sinatra was much worse .. as was John Lennon

To treat a woman like that, especially one who has been abused as a child like Christina Crawford, is not good. I'm disappointed to hear this story.

Sorry coca cola and pepsi are not good for your health

Is it possible Elvis was bipolar?

Thank goodness I was a Ricky Nelson fan Ricky was the All-American nice guy never took a gun and shot TVs up.

Narcissistic

I bet sonny west was an amazing guy.. wish I could have coffee with him and just chat

Actually I agree with Christina Crawford on this, you don’t need to wait hand-in-forth on somebody just because you’re a big star. If that were me and I was in her position, I would have yanked that cigar out of his mouth, threw it back at him and said light your own Dang cigar. That is most likely when a fight would break out, or Elvis would try to avoid it. I would’ve looked at his friend slapped the lighter and cigar out of his hand and said that man’s lighting is on cigar, you’re not doing it for him. And I would’ve told Elvis to pick it up, pick up your lighter and light your own dang cigar you fat worthless piece of crap. I probably would’ve yelled at him telling him to light it. Then if I had seen him light at his own self, I would have said, there you see was that hard?

Boring!
