Iggy Pop and Elvis Costello Talk Early Tours, New Records, Punk | Musicians on Musicians 

Moderator did a good job of 'staying out of the way'. Hats off to him.

Elvis, I couldn't afford to see your "Spinning Wheel" tour in NYC in 1986 but I wrote to you care of your hotel and you mailed back an autograph. Never forgot that! Also ran into you on the street in New Orleans three years ago and you were nice enough to take a selfie with me. Iggy, you look fantastic! Long may you rock, gents!

These guys behave at home exactly as I expected...Elvis never puts down his guitar and Iggy never puts on a shirt

Two icons chatting with one another. Perfection.

What a great podcast. Elvis and Iggy appreciating each other.

Jim, thanks for your music, it changed my life,, at the Eastown Theater, in Detroit, i was a 16 year old kid, sitting on the floor in front of the stage, you did a stage Dive and landed next to me, and crawled up to me and looked into my face, That was one of the Greatest moments in my life, i am 67 years old now, i tell people this story today, and they look at me like i am full of shit, My Best to you Jim, I am Glad that you are still around, you changed my life that Night Man, Cousin Figel

The duo you never knew you needed!! Love these two.💚💚

Can we just have iggy and elvis chatting and they both ask each other the questions? Or no questions. Just them drinking chatting getting plastered for 5 hours, I’d watch that That would be bloody awesome

How cool Elvis hit tower records in San Francisco and grabbed a Bay area free paper. How cool he describe my home town super well. For the people wanting to hear Iggy say more. He's quite a thinker. Toured a festival in Australia with him.. a super nice guy. Nice to hear more from Elvis. Cheers

This Years Model is one of the greatest albums of all time

Kudos to Andy Greene for letting these two guys talk. Good call.

How can you not adore these guys?

So glad these guys are still around. Two of my favs, for entirely different reasons.

Anyone else re Listening and writing down the bands and artists? I love listening to the bands which shaped a artist, then re Listening to the Artist. It's like hearing the symphony of his or her's musical Art palette...

I commend you for allowing your guests to not only answer your specific questions but also not interrupting the conversations between the two of them. Cool stuff!

I love to see to musicians have such an easy time talking so long to each other. Elvis is such an encyclopedia of Rock and Roll history and influence. R& B Jazz, straight forward Rock, Motown. Southern Rock etc.

Legends! Iggy is The Godfather of Punk. Declan is one of THE best songwriters the UK has produced

Back in the early 1980's Costello and the Attractions played in Washington DC. A buddy of mine ran into them at a bar after the show and he ended up driving them back to their hotel. Elvis was obsessed with the "Fuzzy Dice" hanging off my friend's rear view mirror.

Love both of these guys...still here with us thankfully, still making real music

I went to see Elvis in Brighton in 1977 I think at the Roxy..I was a 14 year old punk boy ready to gob at anyone who went on stage...John Cooper Clarke was his his warm up and excellent...Elvis came on and I was all prepared to spit and pogo...the opposite happened. I spent nearly two hours enthralled by the man and his music, as did we all. It was almost dreamlike and he was utterly charming to us kids..Probably the best concert that I ever went to at that time...A few weeks later, the Buzzcocks were on the same stage and Pete Shelley said if one of yous flob on us we're off. Two minutes later he was running off stage covered in spit and the set smashed up. Just goes to show that charm and beautiful music wins over teen savages

"In rock and roll five years is a generation" someone should put Elvis and Iggy in a monthly conversation where they talk about a favorite record... and once a year it has to be one from THIS year ;)

Love both of these guys . A great insight. Elvis is a musicologist , ditto Iggy . Iggy Pops BBC 6 special on his friend David Bowie the year he passed was the best radio show I've ever heard . Just love his music life smarts . And when you talk passion , well that's Elvis Costello , God bless 'em both ...

Elvis toured with his band back then listening to American radio and said about how often the same songs would play: "I guess that's why they call them frequencies" Thanks to the guy down below for not interrupting the way many hosts would and when he does-he steers the conversation in a great new direction! THE TUBES was the band Iggy couldn't remember. 45:03 Why doesn't each write a bunch of songs with the other in mind and have him sing that song THEN: Release THAT album! IGGY GOES ELVIS AND POP GOES COSTELLO

Without "Raw Power" and "MY Aim Is True" 90% of my record/CD collection would NOT exist!

Saw Elvis at The Sydney Opera House about 83 and Iggy at The Capitol the year before. Two greats. Such a pleasure to hear them chat.

That first story was wonderful -- I'm from SF and know the Old Waldorf so well (and the music shop in Marin). Iggy is so sweet and kind.

Oh this is amazing! I couldn't imagine them chatting together. Love you EC!

not long enough. what a bless is to hear these two.

Iggy Pop, the thinking man's thinking man.

24 years ago today, "Starting to Come to me" was released ... Thanks for all the Awesomeness for the past 40 years Declan...

Thank you for this conversation. Such a joy to listen to being a child of the 70’s and Detroit. Iggy had such an influence on the 70’s club seen in Detroit that I never really understood while experiencing it. Elvis was my guy to aspire to late 70’s and into the 80’s, such great songs. I would play the rock clubs in the early 80’s solo guitar as singer/songwriter opening or between sets of what was considered punk or new wave bands at the time. Good thing I stayed in college.

Tremendous! Love these guys...thanks, Rolling Stone. Nothing better than listening to EC and Iggy chat it up!

There is so much love in this exchange.

Sooo much insight on the biz and "scene" of 70's to 90's. Great!

I love both of these guys so much, thank you for the video!

Elvis and Iggy are such great storytellers - they can take stock i-view questions into some layered and rich places. Their memories brought back a lot of my own of those times. Grazie mille guys ♥

Rolling Stone! Thank you for this vid! Two great artists together for a candid and enjoyable conversation. I've always been a huge 'Iggy' fan and this was simply great. Thanks, again.

This was a great chat between absolute legends.

Thank you, so very much. This was one of the most fun and interesting interviews , I’ve watched ever. Love it!

Elvis and Iggy..... Never were my favorite music, but I ALWAYS admired those guys. Fun interview..

Two of my favorite musicians. Wow! They are giants and I am so happy to hear them chat, just regular dudes! I love it. Thank you.

I like how the moderator is just in awe- I would be!

Aww, I fkn LOVE both these amazing artists. Heard new tracks from Elvis Costello on Radio 2 recently and they were terrific!

I could listen to these guys all day!

Two of the coolest musicians in the world.

brilliant, two great blokes with some marvellous stories

This is so candid and intimate... I really love this dialogue ...thanks

Iggy was a great son who was super close to his parents. Over and over he talks so lovingly of them. Iggy was a great showman, but as he says "I'm just a regular guy." Iggy used to live with the Cockettes.

Terrific engaging conversation by Elvis and Iggy!

Love the easy camaraderie. Iggy so often belies his wild image. A lovely guy.

What an opening story from Elvis. Amazing.

It's real nice to see two of my favorite musicians respect and appreciate each other...ELVIS COSTELLO and IGGY POP.

Thanks, Andy! You did a great job pointing these two into the right directions and just let them roll! Thats what good journalists do! Chapeau!

Iggy, I have no words. God bless, my friend,

The "Colonel Kurtz" analogy - says so much in so few words -- another reason I love Iggy.

Indeed. Perhaps if the young fellow that is interviewing, knew to hang back. Good to hear the stories! Thank you.

I had the pleasure of seeing both these gentlemen while on tour. Elvis Costello and the Attractions (backed up by The Battered Wives) in Edmonton at the Jubilee Auditorium in 1978, and Iggy Pop with the Pretenders in 1987, again in Edmonton.

Iggy you are the man, legend beyond words and Elvis is awesome also!!

Thanks for bringing back memories of some great shows. I saw Iggy in 1977 at the Oriental Theatre in Milwaukee. That same year I saw Elvis at Milwaukee's Electric Ballroom. I've been a fan ever since. Thanks again.

Great great interview !!!

Elvis, always with a guitar. Adorable.

My heroes

Just letting the musicians talk is a great concept.

Two of my favorites... that was fun to watch.

Epic interview

Thanks, Andy

this is unbelievable! hanging out with EC and Iggy

Merry Christmas to you An your Family Iggy An Elvis Thank you 4 For this interview

The moderator looks like he's just realising he left the oven on

Great discussion! Thanks! RS and AG for this!

Watching the Detectives is my fav off that record, happy to know why now!

Seriously Mr Pop.......... Thank you

Love these guys

43.49........ The band you were talking about Iggy........ was 'The Tubes' and they were fantastic, I got to meet them and they were also very nice people.

2 greats!

OMG.. I could listen to these 2 for days. Not as a fan, but as a human being. Teacher to student. Wise to actual immature.

Iggy and Elvis, two great guys! They're definitely not showing their mileage. 😊👍🏻

So sweet

Its nice to see that Tom from my space landed on his feet.

@45:55 It strikes when Elvis Costello uses the word joy to describe Iggy's performance on the BBC during the Post Pop Depression tour. I saw Iggy perform on that tour at the Greek Theater in LA in 2016. I'm not a religious person but the experience of that show was pure joy, it was like church to me but it was the religion of Iggy Pop and Iggy's fans, like me. Including seeing the Stooges twice, out of too many concerts for me to recount, I've experienced to well over 100 over nearly 40 years, if I could ever see again or relive a concert that's the one.

Woooow🥰

Elvis costello 👍👍👍

WOW..I was also at that Old Waldorf show. Who would have known that Elvis was there too!!!

Fantastic match up.Love both of them.

You both look great guys !!..................Greetings from Quebec !

I love these guys!

two legends

Unbelievable!!!!! My two favorite artists in the so-called “rock” category!!! I love them both so much

2 Legends 💪💕💪

This really didn't need moderating.

This is mint! Love them both.

This is a great talk

Two heroes of mine, talking to each other. Not bad. Elvis' loquacious self-importance is mitigated by moments of revelation, honesty, something visceral, which he finally addresses directly near the end of the interview. It makes his pretension tolerable, has always done so.

Legends.

Costello referencing Howling Wolf 💕

Great observation at 19:00 or so about great recordings that have severe limitations. That’s immediately what I was thinking listening to Pump it up tonight. Killer song and you just want to tear down the walls. It leaves you wanting in a way that’s indescribable. The magic is in the space.

I took a chance on elvis costello SPIKE on cassete W/O computer. And iggy pop BRICK BY BRICK on cassete. No google just a hope and a prayer. Best risk reward dynamic ever. Both on artists on my dads advice. Changed my life.

A great conversation. Like eve's dropping. You can just drop in on youtube at 11.30pm.

Those are like my favorite guys ever

Iggy is a National treasure!
