Larry Geller talks about Elvis 2015 Part Two 

yeh i bet he has made a very comfortable life out of being his hairdresser

@@desfletc Omg 🙄🙄🙄 so stupid

Larry makes a lot of stuff up & exaggerates... But so did the other guys that Elvis had working for him. They ALL claimed to be Elvis' Best & Closest Friend. 😂😂 They also talked bad about each other.... So it's hard to know who is telling closest to the truth,lol

@@gussygatlin3093 Elvis himself only said good things about his employees. I also think that his employees did a 99% good job for Elvis. Elvis always had a lot of employees, and there was sometimes envy. But everyone still did a good job. It worked perfectly for 22 years, you shouldn't forget that. everything was 100% perfectly organized.

No. All the fucking books, it was too much for the sensitive soul of Elvis what he read because of Geller. Always when Geller appeared in Elvis life, Elvis felt bad and got unhealthy. Elvis was responsible for his life and nobody else. But Geller was no friend. He had no idea about Elvis real problems. Elvis was responsible for everything what happened in his life. Colonel Parker was his only real friend. But no one could help Elvis but Elvis.

yeh he did very well out of being a so-called loved friend, as they all did, but what did he do for him ?

Elvis wouldn't have been able to discuss metaphysics, philosophy etc. with the MM. Glad Larry came into Elvis's life so he had someone to talk and learn with. Nothing spiritual about the MM.

What's metaphysics?

Larry tried to convince Elvis that he was Spiritual Leader.... Everyone was freaking out, especially Colonial Parker. Larry was getting too over the top and the other guys all agreed. So there's that.....

I have a strong feeling did Larry Hillary knew what he was talking about I feel like he knew Elvis in a way that most of us will never understand please give the man credit thank you

David Schaefer another cashing in on the king shame s-hame

@@keithdeboth5812 my thoughts also, another leech, didn't help him at all, just filled his head with bullshit that didn't do anything for him

Bulldust he used him or tried to...but Elvis actually used Larry but Mr Geller was far too dumb to see that LOL ...E was far smarter and cannier than Larry will ever be...all he wants is credit...listen to him its all me me I I ...I told Elvis Elvis asked me

@@staceygoodwin179 how did Mr Geller use Elvis? Please tell. Mr Geller has always spoken highly of Elvis unlike many others. Did Mr Geller lie about Elvis and deny it? No. Did Mr Geller slag Elvis off when he was alive and worse, after he was dead? No. Does Mr Geller know stuff about Elvis that no-one else does and if so, is he keeping it secret? Yes. Now that is a true friend. Larry and Elvis had much in common and it's easy to see why they became friends. Mr Geller is a gentleman and has never talked poorly of Elvis. He sees the bigger picture of Elvis, especially when it comes to Elvis's use of drugs. He said that although Elvis was responsible for using drugs, he was also a victim. That's what many fail to understand: that addiction is a disease and the addict is suffering. Also, how did Elvis use Mr Geller? I've never heard of Elvis using Mr Geller, so I don't buy that.

@@alexcarratu5554 Totally agree with you...Mr. Geller was a true and a very good friend to Elvis...Elvis felt free to ask Mr. Geller questions that he had on his mind...Most of the time we learn "something" from everyone we get to know... BTW, It's no secret and not uncommon for a client and his or her hairdresser to bond and become actual "friends". Having heart to heart conversations... forming a trust over the years...Mr. Geller is a good man and friend...❤

@@jand9770, absolutely. You can tell that Mr Geller loved and still loves Elvis a great deal. He and Elvis had many common interests and could always talk to each other about them. Everyone else thought that Elvis was odd, but he was a very smart man, smarter than most of those around him. Also Mr Geller was famous, albeit not as famous as Elvis, before he met Elvis, so he never has leeched off Elvis' name, like many others, but of course, he will always be associated for his connection to Elvis mostly.

@@jand9770, that's exactly right. If only Elvis had more genuine friends like Mr Geller, he might have lived longer. Mr Geller has spoken very highly of Elvis and it's clear he knows more about Elvis than we ever will. He is also one of the few guys who truly saw - and still sees - how bad that phoney "Colonel" was too. No manager is worth 50% of their client's earnings, regardless of how good they are at their job. Parker screwed Elvis and the world out of many opportunities that could have helped Elvis' career grow to new heights. What Elvis could have done is lost forevermore in large part due to Parker's so-called managing Elvis. RIH, Parker and RIP, Elvis. You will never be forgotten and your legacy will live on forever. Your music is immortal.

@@frankgulotta1647 some of those stories seem to conflict with what others have said who were very close to Elvis for a longer period of time

Right.

Total bull$hit. Elvis did not have bone cancer. Stop. Saying things that aren’t true .

Yep!

Yeah and took 43 years to get his name on hair care products when no one knows who he is? “They asked what happened to you after Elvis”? He talked about some hair college promotion in the UK then jumps to upcoming products with his name on them? Took 43 years? My BS director was screaming., entire interview.

I think your right about Elvis heading to Gospel.more . He loved it and sang it on stage . He was looking for his spiritual home 🏡 😍

@@christabel69932and there you go…. Benton Arkansas

Procrastination is a tragedy. Take care of yourself cause no one else can. Get help!

Tupelo men what a lovely comment,God bless you

STOP THESE LIES NOW! Enough is enough already! Give it up you vile nit wits! Fake named, Fake life Baphomitea drinker (D. Trump) as you know "HER" right now is this "Evil-Elvis" Fake named, Fake life dn ǝpᴉs uʍop Drag-King creature that was sent+is here right now to deceive you!

But he's lying Alex...he never said that stuff before...how come he just remembered? that E was going to clean up his act? he might not say bad stuff but he is just rewriting history that's not right

@@staceygoodwin179, Mr Geller was probably trying to keep Elvis's privacy respected in death. Now that's friendship. Mr Geller is no liar. Joe Esposito even said Elvis would clean up, but would always relapse. Some of the guys didn't like Larry. Fair enough to them. Spirituality isn't for everyone. At least in Larry Elvis found someone he could talk to about his concerns. Everyone else thought Elvis was mad, but he was in fact a very spiritual and smart guy. If anyone is rewriting the Elvis Presley story, it's Priscilla.

If you know anything about drugs you will know it takes time to get off them...you can't just go through weeks of withdrawals and come right the timing is all wrong...you can't believe all Joe says it's not as easy as that you know...he was on holidays and in love thats all...think what you like about Larry its all fantasy..every interview is the same his spiel is down pat except for this one where he changes the course of history and decides in his old age to say E was going to change...nice one but something all fans hope is true...larry gets his 15 mins so be it

@@alexcarratu5554 Changing history is respect...I don't think so...even if his motives were true its just not right...I agree E needed a friend inclined towards spirituality...but a true believer would not make up fantasy's and yes lie...as to Cilla yes I def agree with you there...no argument at all

@@staceygoodwin179 I know about drugs and drug addiction. It's no walk in the park for anyone involved, even the addict suffering themselves. Drug addicts are in a deadly grip and they really want help, but fear that people will patronise their use of the drugs. So the addict saying they don't want help is the addiction talking. No-one chooses to become a drug addict or an alcoholic To be honest, you can't believe 100% of what people in Elvis's life have said. The only one who really knows is Elvis himself, but he can't defend himself. Thus we are left to guess and make up our own minds as to what's true about Elvis and what's false.

You are so right and he will always be cherished I feel so blessed I got to be on the earth say time he was and to walk in Memphis what a thrill

He sure listed off a long list of things. I think embellished for Elvis’s fans. Something in his delivery makes me think I’m hearing a story here. AND 43 years later he’s finally getting his name on hair care products when no one knows who he is?

Gus Jackson true! A lot of people blame the people around him.

maui swift Yes. Yet Elvis was an adult with 14 staff attending to his every need. So he was, very sadly, responsible for most of the outcomes.

True

@@gusjackson3658 True again

Well said, Jan D. I believe it too. Ginger too says Elvis was planning to change his life. Some people are high-strung and Elvis was one of them. Some people inadvertently use substances in excess to cope with the demands and stress of life and entertainers, especially on Elvis' - or near - level of success have it worst. Like Michael Jackson. While many blame the doctor for his death, people need to look at the bigger picture. Michael had been using drugs for years before that doctor came into his life and would have procured another doctor had that doctor turned him down and would have died of drug-related causes anyway. But Michael was a near 51-year-old man and wasn't going to take no for an answer. I believe Michael took too many drugs that day as the shows were approaching to numb his pain and pressure and he pushed himself too hard to perform, just like Elvis did. All Elvis and Michael wanted to do was sleep and function. I hope both Elvis and Michael - and many others who lost the fight against substance abuse - are at total peace now.

As for the book the Wests wrote, I totally agree. No matter how hard it must have been to help Elvis, to throw him under the bus after two decades of friendship must have felt like a massive dagger to Elvis' heart. Elvis was kind to them and they betrayed his kindness, writing that sleazy book, thinking it would help him. Please, gimme a break. Elvis even offered the Wests about $40k or $50k to tire them over until they could get a real job. However, I have read that Red eventually did come to regret writing that book and even had tears in his eyes when discussing his regret at it with Elvis' longtime friend, George Klein. As for Sonny, did he regret it? Probably. Plus, it was the Seventies. Back then, there wasn't as much knowledge on the dangers of substance abuse and depression, so that stigma and ignorance further hurt Elvis. Who could he trust? Regardless of his problems and high superstar status, Elvis was entitled to his privacy. I don't believe that Elvis killed himself. It was most likely a tragic accident exacerbated by a myriad of health conditions the doctors and the Colonel should have been aware of and treated Elvis for them. So Elvis didn't just die of a heart attack alone, he died of ignorance and greed of others too.

You're a fool as always sammy

All his health issues was gene inherited from the Smith side of the family tree,and a bit from the Presley side also. He had the same health issues as his mother.

David Stanley,EP’s step brother told everyone that was his last conversation with Elvis…

So was Larry a positive person on EP’s Life

elaborates stories that were not his own and makes them out to be his

yea , would have been nice to see that happen but now it never did

Because he is...definatly

Neither of you 2 know just like I dont ....just enjoy and stop bitchin

He's a little shit can't trust that man at all!😠😠

He’s a liar! The other guys around Elvis didn’t like him.

He said in a documentary on youtube where he said Elvis wanted to walk away and just sing gospel.

I've read that in 1977 he told a few people he planned to make big changes in his life. Ginger Alden wrote that he planned a whole new beginning. JD Sumner said that Elvis also told him he was planning a big change, and would do a strictly gospel tour, which he wanted to discuss with him. But then he was gone.

Never made it but that's what happens...so....

Larry saying Elvis wanted to clean up isn't the first I've heard of it - or at least part of his plan to change his life. Joe Esposito even said that Elvis cleaned up his act on his last vacation in March 1977. Those pics show a man enjoying himself and having fun. In the pics, Elvis is a bit chubby, but not as big as many have claimed.

Alex Carratu I read a very good article on Huffington Post written in 2016, and updated in 2017, written by a forensic coroner named Garry Rodgers, who makes a case that the actual cause of death was a head injury, TBI, or Traumatic Brain Injury. It's titled "Elvis Presley's Death - What Really Killed the King?" He says that Elvis' behaviour changed in 1967, after the injury. The side effects are chronic pain, irrational behaviour, and severe body changes such as obesity and enlarged organs. We know that Elvis' colon was extremely enlarged. I also heard a doctor on NPR (I think), discussing something similar about his death, with the knowledge of more than 40 years since the fact. I wonder why these things are not more widely reported.

@@katgirlblue another one of Elvis's plans was to write his autobiography according to Larry. I can't recall the planned title, but Elvis wanted Larry to help him write it. Also, Elvis was going to get rid of more members of his entourage. "It'll make my daddy happy", Larry recalls Elvis saying. If you haven't, get hold of the book by Larry, Leaves of Elvis's Garden: The Song of His Soul. It does mention Elvis's future plans and says that Elvis did even try to change his diet several times, but found it hard to make the change completely. It is a lovely book and quite emotional too. It won't let you down and Larry does Elvis justice in death with this book. It's a shame that Elvis and Larry didn't know each other years before. They really were great friends, almost like brothers. Thank you, Mr Geller, for setting the record straight and for your devotion to Elvis and your kindness to us fans.

Stacey Goodwin totally agree with you!

It is who who wrote stuff here..

So true stacey! Elvis was an addict plan and simple 🤔larry's a Bull💩 🤨😏

Eff off w that noise

lol hes not elvis

Thanks .Hearing all this from somebody who was there and who knows.

It was a miracle to perform like Elvis has done being so sick..I hope that he found God in the end.

News flash! This guy is full of shit!!!!

True

How do you mean?

No, Elvis helped many people. If you do some research with credible sources, you will find he did endless charitable work in his life.

What are you talking about?

wat a wicked thing to say , he gave most he earned , gave more than he received thats 1 thing he NEVER WAS !!!!!!. you need to get ur fact right , he was the most generous person ever , gave to 50 charities bought may pepole things

But Larry is not young, he his a Old man and I believe Him.

I agree. Larry Geller is full of shit.

Opal's Boy where in the world did you get that garbage? Not one word of that is true. He never tried to get Elvis to denounce Christianity, and he did not force himself on Elvis. Even George Klein, in his book, wrote that Elvis could not talk about spiritual things with the regular MM guys, so he was always discussing those matters with Larry. The other guys had no interest at all. These were things that Elvis was interested in his whole life, and talked to girlfriends about it too, long before he ever met Larry. Elvis was very much into meditation, and loved to go to the Self Realization Center where he could be at peace and meditate. Ummm, did you not realize that Elvis had a Meditation Garden built at Graceland? Are you so uninformed that you think meditation and studying different religions is somehow anti Christian? Meditation can open your mind to all sorts of peaceful and beautiful feelings. I think perhaps you should try it.

You don't know what you are talking about, and neither did the MM. Elvis has the Statue of the Sacred Heart of Jesus in Meditation Garden at Graceland. He also had a statue of the Sacred Heart in his bedroom. They've put it on display. If you listen to Elvis's gospel you would know he loved Jesus and was a very spiritual man. Theologians and others study metaphysics, philosophy, etc. in our major religions. Only very smart people can understand these studies because they can be hard to understand. There was no way Elvis could have discussed intelligent matters like this with the MM. I think Larry was one of few people that Elvis had in his life to discuss the spiritual. In fact, he told Larry he had no one he could talk about it with. Elvis did spend time talking to Larry, and in my opinion, the MM was jealous. Larry and Elvis are both very intelligent men, and intelligent people like to learn and search for answers. Not nice for others like the MM to make things up, because they don't even know what physics is, much less metaphysics. Elvis was Christian, and Larry is Jewish.

Opal's Boy You are full of shit buddy, Larry did no such thing!....You just made that up! He had a cross around his neck all his life.

The guys from the Memphis mob said he was a Crazzy surfer from Cali and didn’t want him around Elvis,,how about the story in Vegas with Elvis and the Colonial,where Elvis was in bad shape and the Colonial said the show must go on and to get him on Stage no matter what,,,,Wow
