@@magorzatapiotrowska9739 maybe you were being sarcastic, but still, I mean over his whole career, Elton has been very nice to Bernie. Always mentioning him whenever he won awards and saying how important Bernie was to him. Maybe at this time Elton was more arrogant and putting more of his success purely down to himself. But as he’s got older he’s certainly always appreciated and acknowledged the importance of Bernie in his life and career. And that’s what’s important really. Bernie seems to be the only person in eltons life that has been a constant and been with him through thick and thin. They are absolute brothers from what I see.

It's really cool seeing such a candid interview of them during that time. Haven't seen this before

They needed each other because without Bernie taupin there is no Elton John and without Elton John there is no Bernie taupin because Elton John can’t write the words and Bernie taupin can’t write the music

I feel bad for Bernie trying to get a word in..lol

Amazing ❤💯🙏👍🇬🇧🇺🇸❤️❤️❤️❤️👍💯

I think Bernie is awesome but I love Elton John's voice. I really love it when he says "Oh goodie goodie gumdrops I got four albums yippie." Made me laugh and his jacket is epic xD

Well whenever poor Bernie gets a chance to talk…..😂😅!!!❤❤❤

What is going on here? Is the interviewer making eyes at Bernie (who wouldn't - what a hottie), and Elton is jealously dominating the conversation?

Happy 70th Bernie!

"we 've got four albums in the charts" Bernie wrote half of them ! Let him speak Elton. He is good at english !

You simply JUST don't here Interviews like this anymore...where the artists/writers are down to earth-sincere and innocent and truthful.-It's from a time lost forgotten.

Bernie actually has a much bigger ego than Elton. Bernie also has a truckload more pretentiousness than Elton.

@@mikeypie24 It was certainly a great album. In some sense it did rely more on a band configuration than so much orchestral accompaniment like Madman. Honky Chateau features a lot of percussive, chordal piano in the forefront of arrangements, which contributes a feel like live performance. It's a pounding piano record for much of the material - a strong point of the album.

It would have been nice to hear more of Bernie's thoughts and opinions since he did write much of what Elton sings. Too bad Elton repeatedly cut him off.

No. Elton is not THE genius. What's genius is the synergistic creation of their coalesence. One would never have flourished without the other. Divinely intervened I'm sure. And that fact is sorely overlooked although they did show it in the movie they never really revealed the significance of that.

I kept waiting for EJ to play 'Star' to watch Bernie but he doesn't play it in this clip as the description says. Where can I find that?

Why is elton saying "I've written, I've written" don't you mean "we've written?" He's always been a bit of a Queen eh? Bernie's a class act. Then again it's elton s voice and soulful renditions and music to Bernie's lyrics that rocketed them to superstardem.
