Why Elvis Presley HATED The Beatles 

Do you think Elvis really saw The Beatles as ‘Anti-American’ or was he threatened by their success in the states? 🤔

Elvis was Elvis. The Beatles were The Beatles. I loved both of them.

Elvis Presley never issued an album called 'Heartbreak Hotel'. It was actually his debut hit single for his new label RCA in 1956.

And of course none of that. proves that Elvis "hated the Beatles". And saying that Lennon hated Elvis's lamps then following that by saying he "probably" said something snarky" about them, ..well, does that prove he did say something snarky or not? I guess we don't really know now do we. Inserting the word, "probably" in that statement only indicates it's rumor or assumption and not proven fact. Also, the notion that Elvis tried to get Lennon kicked out of the country is false. It was Nixon that actually tried to do that because it was Nixon that hated John Lennon. Presley did however say that the Beatles "had been a real force for anti-American spirit.” Some might actually agree with that statement in general. But then again, young people in America were already starting to rebel against their elders and traditional culture in the late 50s even before the Beatles arrived. Some of that can be attributed to Elvis coming n the scene himself. He was after all, a sort of rock and roll rebel in the 50s. But regardless, to directly tie Elvis's remark about the Beatles contributing to an anti-American attitude and their effect on American youth to an attempt by the FBI's attempt to get Lennon out of the country can't literally be proven. LBJ himself was already pissing people off with the war without the Beatles. Elvis's primary goal with Nixon and the FBI was to get a narcotics badge, Beatles or no Beatles.

It didn't hurt that they were all assholes as people except for maybe Ringo. Doubtful Paul would have been the cause of any issue, he was very British and would not allow it.

I heard George Harrison saw Elvis in the 70's at a concert. But, yes, the Beatles never went to see him again unfortunately.

That's why never bring up your political views ever. It'd cause a massive conflict.

Great video. But "Heartbreak Hotel/I Was The One" was a single, not an album.

A clear cut case of professional jealousy. The Beatles made Elvis realize that his time as the king of rock & roll had come to an end.

Elvis did not hate the Beetles he invited them to his home and spent the day with them, he often sang their songs in Vegas and paid respect to their music Ability. You people will do anything to bash a legend, who died to soon.

I think Elvis was pretty conservative. Probably someone who thinks Lennon should have cut his hair.

Maybe because they were better musicians and song writers

this channel deserves more views

Elvis was resentful because The Beatles dethroned him. They surpassed him and he knew it. That's why he spent the majority of the 60s making pointless movies.

Lost respect for Elvis.

Jealous baboon

In the end of it all, The title of "King" ended up with Black Sabbaths OZZY OSBOURNE of which deserves it much more.
