I enjoy his early rockabilly stuff but have no interest in anything else.

>Before his death, Elvis was estimated to have consumed 100,000 calories per day. The basic element of Elvis' daily food intake was a 30-cm long bread roll, stuffed with bacon, peanut butter and strawberry jam. Each one had 42,000 calories, and in his final days, he ate two of them per day, together with little midnight snacks of hamburgers and deep-fried white bread.

he was /ourguy/

>>73027325
neither

Overrated genius or misunderstood hack?

>>73027325

Genius. besides the incredible discography in blues, rock, country, and gospel, besides being the most handsome person to ever live.....the thing that really puts Elvis on another level is his 10/10 personality and charm. Elvis was just so fucking likable., despite being the most famous person on earth Elvis always remained humble and down to earth. Greatest entertainer that ever lived, we'll NEVER see another musician on Elvis's level.

Jumpsuit era Elvis is best Elvis.

Reminder that he shat himself to death

>>73027539

I know (((they))) like to make a big deal out of Elvis's weight, but he was really only overweight and bloated his last two years of his life. Even in the early 70's he looked incredible.

who's better looking than Elvis?

>>73027666
>struggling to drop massive shit
>experience cardiac arrest due to shit strain and lethal amount of opiates in your bloodstream

The real question is, did he get the shit out? Or did he die with it stuck halfway?

Nick Drake died an uber virgin and was more attractive

>>73027849

>Nick Drake
>more attractive than Elvis

Elvis was infinitely more handsome . Nick's chin looks like a fucking butt crack for christ's sake

>>73027834
just found chad in my neighborhood and can confirm

>>73027675
He worked out on a regular basis with his bodyguards and was a black belt in Karate. It was only in his final years when he let himself go that he didn't have a fit physique.

>>73027792
Stuck in according to the autopsy report. He was in considerable pain.

>>73027627
this

>>73027325
He stole rock and roll from black people. Fuck him.

>>73030648
He grew up poor in Tupelo Mississippi. How did he steal anything.

bourgeoisie

>>73030977
I did too, this is pretty much why I'm a fan
Not so poor now
My family wasnt so lucky however

"lets get the negro sound from a white face" - some record exec in the 50's

If you haven't given a serious listen to to Shmilco or Star Wars just because of the titles I would give it a shot, Happiness is my favorite Wilco track (shmilco) now. Nice seeing another southern 4chan user, take care brother

>>73031342
you too buddy, God bless

>>73030648
>adaptation is theft
lol basic

>>73027627
>incredible discography
>wrote literally one song and that's one of his worst
He may have been a cool guy and all that shit but that doesn't change the fact that he's an overrated hack

>>73031506
There's nothing wrong with being a great singer and performer and not being that talented musically.

Look at Rihanna.

>>73031543
What's not wrong with Rihanna?

the question was "Misunderstood genius or overrated hack?"
and your answer was genius, because he's a good singer and performer
I say you've set the "genius" bar pretty low

>>73031655
The voice is an instrument. Why can someone be a genius for being a great piano player but not a genius for being a great singer?

>>73031682
ok maybe not a hack. but the fact that people call a man that essentially created no music by himself the "king of rock and roll" makes him way overrated.
in fact, when I talk about elvis to most people they generally seem to be completely unaware of the fact that he wrote none of the music he's singing
>>73031688
I don't even know if you're being serious anymore.

>>73031543
>let's compare elvis to rihanna

>>73031878
>both not talented musically
>both don't write their songs
>both sing great and put on great performances

whats the problem officer?

No way he is a genius, he didn't write any of the music he played.

>>73031814
If you honestly can't comprehend what he just said I think you've just set you bar for understanding low

>>73032565
>One was an icon
>One brought wider acceptance of an originally marginalized genre
>One dominated the musical landscape for a decade
>One inspired many musicians to find their own voice
>The other one is a nigger

>>73031506
I think what you have in mind is the type of rock star persona that Elvis invented. All these idols, pop stars you see right now wouldn't have happened had it not been for Elvis, so in a sense your right, but I also feel he deserves more credit than "good looking hack"
