please if at all possible can you tell the brothers thank you I got to see his dad in person years ago, and it was a great show got to meet him for a few minutes and I wonder what happened to his guitar did it go down in flames in the plane

There weren't many pioneers of Rock n Roll ....but Ricky Nelson was one ....

Gunnar Rocks-what a beautiful person-inside and out ♥️🌻🙌🇦🇺⭐️

Gunnar is so down-to-earth. He grew up with great privilege but you would never know because he is very genuine and real. Love listening to him talk.

Ricky Nelson left a beautiful memories in his wonderful children I'm soo proud of them all well done guys we love u all

Gunnar is such a nice guy! My Daughter and I got to meet and talk with him around 2003 in Florida. He actually took the time to have an awesome conversation with him. I started out telling him I was a huge fan of his Pops (I am just a few years older than G&M.), he smiled so big & our conversation began. I was able to get a picture with both Gunnar & Matthew, they were great (I no longer have 😢). He was so genuine, so kind & he "thanked me" for the conversation about his Pops. I have been huge fans of Gunnar & Matthew ever since!!! One of my 'Treasured' memories!!! ❤

This is awesome I’m glad Gunner said things that I always thought were true like how Ricky was shy and quiet

You just gotta love Gunnar. 🎉Love that Nelson politeness, unassuming, not entitled, grateful and real. God bless ‘em.

Ricky was freaking hilarious on Ozzie and Harriet. He got great lines but his delivery was impeccable.

Gunnar is so smart, articulate, interesting and takes the listener on pleasant trips and travels on any story he decides to share. This man can talk for hours and is never boring. He should do audio books of his life and history of his legendary family. This would be awesome.

I luv Mathew & Gunnar, I have seen them perform live twice , I just saw them in Wabash , Indiana at the Eagles Theater a few days ago and I hadn't seen them for 20 years or more , they sounded great and I love hearing them tell stories from their life. I was born a year before them and I have been listening to them since they first started. I of course have watched Ozzie & Harriet and their dad , the one song that stands out that their dad made was "Garden Party" I remember hearing it on the radio when I was a young girl and singing along :) Ricky was definitely a handsome man but so are Mathew & Gunnar ! Mathew & Gunnar have come from a great family & they have had such an awesome experience with growing up with all these musicians, they have so many cool stories to tell , they need to write a book , I would luv to read it ! I have always loved reading biographies about interesting people's lives ! I have the Michael Jackson "Off The Wall" record album, I also have the "Thriller" album , I also have the very first album Michael made with his brothers, it is called "Dianna presents The Jacksons" my best friend found it at a flea market years ago and she gave it to me for my birthday along with another Jackson's album. I also like Fleetwood Mac & Stevie Nicks , I liked most of the albums he held up. I love the Beatles and I have an old Wings album . I like all the Beatles members , they are all cool, hard to say who is my favorite! I am kind of Partial to Paul but I think they were all special , Ringo is a great drummer & funny ! Paul is a great singer & musician, George Harrison seemed like a great guy , a peaceful guy , John had his own great music , a peaceful guy too !

What a great interview. Gunnar has so much knowledge and experience in the music field and is so articulate and enthusiastic about sharing it.

Gunnar is a fabulous story teller!

Thank you Gunner and Matthew for not letting your dad's music go away. I love all the old time singers back when your dad was popular and even before that ❤❤❤😊😊😊

I will never understand why Ricky Nelson was so underrated and why Elvis was so popular Ricky was gorgeous and talented I just don’t understand.

Despite Rick's extraordinary pre-Beatles success. it became popular to deride him in the early 1970s, with the arrival of the 1st Rock 'n Roll revival. While Rick had changed with the times. it was hard to shake his clean cut, wholesome, All-American, 1950's image, which had fallen out of favour with the rock music buying public. People also pointed to his limited vocal range, mediocre guitar skills and limited song writing but there was a bigger underlying factor. People now resented his overnight success. They preferred their musical heroes to be working class people who clawed their way up from the bottom, playing countless low paying gigs and making endless rounds of the record companies. Rick was the exact opposite of this, coming from a successful show business family and his father negotiating a record deal with him having zero prior pro music experience. His first record was promoted on a hit television show and turned him into an instant R'nR star. Basically, the mass market, now resented what they perceived as a mediocre talent, being handed fame and fortune on a silver platter. In hindsight, he wasn't much different than the The Monkees, another successful act that rock pundits were quick to deride as the Prefab Four. Furthermore, he was often cited as the prototype for much of what was bad with music at the time, the rise of the teenage idols such as the Frankie Avalon, Fabian, Bobby Sherman, David Cassidy, Davey Jones, etc. Unfortunately, this attitude toward Rick's music still exists, even to-day. For the most part, this criticism is largely that of an ignorant public who has never taken the time to sit down and listen to Rick's old records. Most are making assumptions or simply regurgitating the preachings of rock snobs. The professional musicians and friends that knew Rick well, realized that he put everything into his music and many regarded him highly. Whatever vocal and guitar playing shortcomings he may have had, he made the best use of them and more than compensated with impeccable song choice, excellent selection of backing musicians and vocalists, great arrangements, great production and promotion that was ahead of its time. Slowly, people are beginning to see the light and appreciate the true musical genius of Rick Nelson. In my opinion, he deserves to be held in the same esteem as other seminal R'nR acts, such as Elvis Presley, Chuck Berry, Little Richard, the Everly Brothers, Buddy Holly, Eddie Cochran and Gene Vincent.

Great show. My Dad worked at the studio and used to toss a football around with Ricky when he wasn’t needed on set. I’m 70 and I’m a Rick Fan. I’ve seen him 7 times. I was also at the Trubadour when Rick played there. Best concert ever I met Mat & Gunner in Canyonville Oregon at the Indian Gambling & Concert Center on the early 90’s I believe. The guys put on an incredible show. The whole audience was blown away. They stayed to sign every autograph that was wanted. Please just keep touring 🎸🎸🎸🎸🎸

I used to watch Ozzie and Harriet when Ricky and David were on it. I loved Ricky and couldn't wait for him to sing at the end of the show. But I was also a fan of Elvis and I loved them both and still do even though they are both gone. Gunner and Matthew looks like their momma with their dads smile. Sam looks like his Dad. I don't believe for a second that Rick was free basing on that plain.

I watched Ozzie and Harriet loved the show ❤️love what your talking about family brings back memories that I treasure 😊

I was born in Germany, I was maybe 10 yrs old , had the biggest crush on RICKY NELSON !! Everyone in GERMANY knew his big Song : HELLO MARY LOU !! I know it was a number 1 hit in GERMANY !! ❤️❤️❤️❤️

It was great listening to you Gunnar. Loved hearing the backstory. You two are go getters for sure. You both have great passion and enthusiasm in your field. Keep on 🎶

God bless you Nelson boys! Thank you!!! I was three years old when I first saw your dad on T. V.! I saw him play at the Alameda county Fair in the 1980's. He was as good as any performer I have ever seen. A true professional and a great musician. And as your Uncle David once said, he's the nicest person I know, I believe it. Thanks for a great post!

Had the pleasure of seeing Rick and the SCB in early 80s in Portland Oregon,Great show such a talented guy!

You just loved this. Every word Gunner says I hang on to. I just love music and the entertainment industry ( pop culture ). So every thing he stays is the coolest info. I just love it like crazy. I will def be looking for more of his interviews. Thank you so much for this. Xxx

Thank You Gunner for this Great Interview and Back Story 😃

I was at that concert at Madison Square Garden. I did not and would never boo Ricky!! I am so excited that in April, I will be on the Blue Cruise with a huge line-up including Matthew and Gunnar. I hope I get to talk to them and tell them that I was at the concert that inspired their Dad to write Garden Party!

I was 6 years younger than dad and I watched ozzie and harriet for years than one day in April 1966 I tuned in to see the show and batman was on instead sad very sad. But your grandpa was such a genius 7 years later ozzie invented ozzie girls. Great show but ozzie got sick after one season and died. That show would have lasted a long time too. All of the Nelson's are talented.

i have so many original vinyls and Off the Wall is one of them and that is for sure one of the greatest albums.

I love his personality!! My parents grew up watching Ozzie and Harriet, then of course Ricky Nelson's music. I grew up watching their sister Tracy Nelson on Square Pegs and then 90210, listening to their band Nelson ❤ Super talented family that has overcome a lot of tragedy.

I loved the Nelson outfits and that they were styled with Native Anerican jewelry, back then I don't remember anyone rocking those looks and I appreciated it. Great Memories of my youth!

I'm here because I grew up watching Ozzie & Harriet and opened for Ricky in '71 in Norfolk NE. He was a Genuine Human Being. I mentioned the "Wooly Coat" that he wore on TV, and he handed it to me and said, "Try it on."... I did. We hung out with him and The Stone Canyon Band for the rest of the afternoon after sound check. I thought they sounded every bit as good as Crosby, Stills and Nash. It was an Great day, and is still some of my favorite memories. (People... especially the people in the Industry, are ignorant. They are NOT Musicians or even Creative on any level, whatsoever. They care about money, and nothing else. I've been a Professional Musician since 1963 and I've seen the same horrific treatment that they treated Ricky with over and over and over!)

Good to hear this stuff . 😊

great song❤❤❤

Been Great❤🎉🎉

17:30. Rick is credited with starting the country-rock genre!!

This family is tough .But at the end of the day, it's all love. I met my cousin once.I talked to Matthew about an hour and Ray Diddle came by and it ended.Then I've not seen them since.Because of family.

8:27 Nelson Bros thought Dylan was some homeless guy. So did I! When I first saw the “We Are The World” video I seriously thought “Awww, How sweet, they let a random homeless guy outside the studio come in and record an off-key line. Bless his heart.” I had no idea that was Bob Dylan.
