What a legend this guy. Every time I see him, he pulls me back in 🕴️
😂
This really is my guy! 😭
That Godfather quote is legendary
ha ha learn that one much
Love the use of the quote
😂😂😂
The fact he never acted before he did Sopranos is mind blowing! He was Incredible as Silvio
Amen!
Amen? This isn't a church lmao@@lauravasquez8284
He sure was. I really enjoyed Lilyhammer, too. It is unusual to see a musician who can really act and vice versa.
So was Johnny Sack. Guy was actually a brick Mason contractor or something like that
More proof that ACTING takes ZERO skill or talent.
“Art is an essential part of the quality of life.” That is priceless.
So true!
I agree, but he's sorely mistaken. From music to film to television to comedy to paint to the written word there is no greater creator and exporter of art than America. It is deeply ingrained in our culture and a part of everyone's day on a scale the rest of the world could not believe.
I knew Steven back in in 1983 when I worked at the Hit Factory NYC. I was the front desk reception girl. It was great job. My name is Tammy and Steve would come for session singing, Tammy how I love you, my dear young Tammy. He was sincere and charming. He looks the same today as he did then! He has taken good care of himself, that makes me so happy to see.
I really hope Steve sees your comment. More likely, someone he's close to might read these and let him know.
That must have been an amazing place to work.
"Just when I thought I was out... they pull me back in!"
Pacino better than Pacino.
_It was you fredo!_
is it trueee, michaeeel?
I'm so glad I came across this interview. I never knew the depth of this man and I appreciate him more.
Was just thinking the same thing. What an intelligent, thoughtful, kind, talented, and stylish dude. Fantastic interview.
The coolest part of this story, after 50 years together they chose each other.
Little Steven is a gift to humanity. What an absolute treasure that man is.
So a few years ago, myself and my best mate from back home in Oz meet up in San Sebastion (Spain) with our wives and we decide to stay at the best hotel we could afford. Turns out it was the Hotel Maria Cristina, a beautiful old hotel. My mate & I walk in and we’re literally just a couple of Oz surfers on tour and when we walk into the hotel reception on the way to the bar, there’s Steven and Tom Waits sitting on a couch, just chilling and shooting the breeze. We said g’day to them and Steve just said, how ya doin boys? We said fine, on our way to the bar and he replied “ that is the place boys”, gave us a wink and we had a laugh and then had a few bevvies in the bar with our wives. Epic little encounter. And clearly, Steve is still as real and absolutely genuine a person as he was all those years ago. A true legend.
I did not know Steven Van Zandt, until now. I am 73 years old. Watching him in that small room tells me that he likes simplicity and yet the other part of this clip shows that he is deep in other important aspects of life. Good for you Steven!
Wow bro never heard of the E Street Band?
@@Love-tv5bs How old are you and have you been living on another planet
@@sanford943 Late 50’s. Been following Springsteen and E Street since 1977.
@@sanford943🤣🤣🤣🤣
Not all people like Springsteen mate@@Love-tv5bs
Nothing "little" about little Stevie van Zandt, huge intellect, heart and personality. Love this man!
He's a goofball.
A socialist.
Except he is shorter than Springsteen, who's a little tike, himself. lol
the amount of hair on his head
@@zachary_attackery Bingo.
One of the Great Humans Indeed! Amen! 😇
My sister and I were at that show at Circus maximus and we will never forget it. Nothing like rocking it out with 70,000 Italians all singing at the top of their lungs. Have followed Bruce & Steve for 45 years and their intellect and talent are mind blowing. Lets not forget that the Disciples of Soul is also an amazing band as well. Have been such a part of my life ...love little Steven
Grazie per il tuo commento.
I was there too. Like a religious experience - just magic!
I'm so humbled by your contribution to the arts, but most importantly your fight against oppression and and injustice. I owe my freedom in South Africa today to indomitable warriors like you!
Excellent interview! Steven Van Zandt is a treasure, an excellent musician, and a damned good guy!
So you don't like his acting ??
@@executivedecision6141 See, i'm the other way around! I can appreciate him playing with the boss but i definitely prefer him yelling at people over cheese
@@syok4929 What good does yelling at cheese do, when if it's fresh you can eat it ? 😁
@@executivedecision6141 hehe yeah why was silvio so wasteful in that scene? terrible table manners!
@@syok4929 Well..... Actually I didn't even watch this interview. I just happened to notice it in my You Tube feed and clicked on it. I still like Steve Van Zandt, but only playing mobsters on TV.....not as a musician. I've heard the man's solo records. His voice is irritating. Little Steven should just continue playing guitar for Bruce, and he'll be just fine!
To be a such an essential part of one of the greatest bands in all of human history, unto itself, is extraordinary. To also have been such an essential part of one of the greatest television shows, is beyond measure. The man keeps creating. He uses his art not just to entertain, but to teach and inspire, and is generous of heart to send the elevator back down. I feel lucky to be alive in Steven’s time. I’m just so damn proud of him. Thanks, 60 Minutes, for a superb piece.
Greatest bands 😂
@@tbone2451 51 years together, millions of albums sold, critically acclaimed, dozens of hits and still selling out stadiums. So, yeah. They are indeed one of the greatest bands of all time.
He's absolutely cool!
Excellent interview. I remember, he’s been a man of his own making.
the 2 best gigs you could have. Springsteen & Sopranos.
If it were me I'd be sore from pinching myself.
I cannot believe he is 72! He looks incredible and vibrant, and it's amazing that he has this much range. What a legend!
I was a big Springsteen fan as a kid in the 80's. Its so great that Steven is back rockin with Bruce. These guys are such great role models for so many. Thank you.
this man is living his best life. what a legend. inspiring
I met some Italian folks at a Springsteen Concert at the Mohegan Sun Arena in CT and they travel all over the world to see the band! I love Steven Van Zandt, his work and facial expressions. The E Street Band is one of the most awesome musicians (real musicians), every one of E Street Band members are professional - never need Autotune and synthesizers. Steven was also great in the Sopranos, love that guy!
He has a Dutch last name.
Plenty of synthesizers actually. Nothing wrong with that
What a hard worker, dreamer and a legend! Steven deserves all the success he's earned.
This was a spectacular interview!
Bravo for Sun City and your fabulous approach to education! 💕
Little Steven, a forty year fan here. Loving those clothes that look like they came from the 60's! You have always stayed true to your heart. You are amazing.
LillyHammer was an outstanding show. Absolutely hilarious. PLEASE make another season. If you have any Norwegian friends or have ever been there, you know just how well that show captured the essence of Norway.
I never even knew this show existed, gotta check it out!
I binge Lillyhammer at least 2 times every year,it is unbelievably good and rewatchable
Is it really acting if he sticks to the same character????
Love Little Steven. A very talented musician, great guitar player that could but doesn't steal the show with his guitar playing prefering to stay on the side near Roy's piano. The chemistry of friendship and musicianship between him and Springsteen is visible and genuine. Such a joy to the E Street Band still performing. Rock on!!!
This guy is a living legend!!!
Brilliant man love him in Lillyhammer my favorite show!
Totally a very cool guy. Watched him with the band, and one my favorites on the Sopranos.
Silvio taking Adriana into the woods for the final time...merciless, focused, clinical. Silvio was all about business, loyalty and keeping the missus happy.
Ab-so-lute-ly LOVE this man. He's very grounded while still finding joy in two insane businesses. He knows what's important and helps others be their best selves.
What a good and humble spirit he has... oh yeah! He’s tremendously talented too!! Excellent interview!
Humble he is,the opposite of the Boss, maybe they continue together after all this year's, for me he is a better musician than Speingtreen😅wrong spelling
What a class act. Been a huge fan my entire life at 58!
Kudos to how good this piece is. Smart, factually correct, hip. And Steve is so smart and funny and a great guitarist and songwriter.
He don't read and write ANY music,all his stuff is BY EAR! damn good I'll say
Love Little Stevie and The Boss! Timeless music.❤
Every time he tried to get out they pulled him back in 🍻
Awesome😂
His real style versus Silvio is funny same with Adrianna or Drea
@@leahflower9924 I loved the character and the music,hope to meet him someday✌️
Lilly-Hammer was a fantastic series...we were so sad when it ended too soon.
A jack of all trades. Love him especially in Lillyhammer.
That's a hell of a quote "the Beatles revealed this whole new world to us, the Rolling Stones invited us in." Legendary.
Steven has a way of describing the history of rock better than anyone else I’ve heard discuss it.
Priceless! ✨✨✨✨
Long Live Rock & Roll.
Excellent interview
Love Steven Van Zandt
This is a great man! Great actor and great musician too! His Lilyhammer tv show is also great as well!!
"Art is an essential part to the quality of life"
He nailed it there!
A great musician,artist and human being.When I became a Bruce Springsteen and The E-Band Fan 39 years ago,I also became a Steve Van Zandt Fan.I love his solo records the same way,I love Springsteens music.His voice,lyrics,songs,are so powerful.He opened up my eyes to many things.Thank you Steve🖖
Just when I thought I was out, they pull me back in.
Little SVZ is so much more than just the Boss’ right hand man! He’s a musical mensch, a true music man! Love ya Stevie!
Lilyhammer needs to come back! Best show around.
I’ve always loved Van Zandt. He is a genius just being him. His Underground Garage is worth the price of Sirus XM alone!
Genius?being woke and Satanist is considered as genius now 😂
@@user-mf5ue6rc5n
I'd say his political views cement the fact that he is no genius, but see no evidence of him being a Satanist.
I'll pray he I'd not.
Just an interesting artsy & fun guy.
But who knows, the rolling stone's song simply for the devil lyrics "I'm a man of wealth & taste " maybe you are right.
I doubt it, & hope not.
Always tune in to Little Steven’s Underground Garage radio show on Saturday nights so good!
What a great guy! I loved him in The Sopranos.
Respect to this great man Stephen. Little did I know he was a legendary singer before Soprano.
What a legend this man is!
What a person, musician and humanitarian... love little stevie
He’s a rock in the the roll. Also helped out a very underrated Southside Johnny.
This video has been a revelation for me. I had no idea about Steven Van Zandt's musical life. I had only ever seen him on The Sopranos. The look of him on that show showed a person that did not strike me as having connection with music and rock. I now remember seeing him on a Bruce Springsteen song (a video) a take on a Chuck Berry song. Thank you for shedding this light on a person I knew nothing about.
Love these Two💝🎶💝🎶! What a real treat to see them behind the scenes. I feel kinda in the dark bc I had no idea Little Stevie was in The Sopranos 😂 Holy Cow..and he was a major player too. I am now remembering his character. Had zero clue that was him. That was such a great show. Missing James Gandolfini now. That man had serious Presence!
Sending Lots of Love to Bruce and Steven Van Zandt 💝🎶💝🎶💝 both are true Geniuses.
I literally listen to no less than 5-10 Bruce Springsteen Songs Per day! He makes me feel Happy, his music surrounds me with Love, and to me his Music has ALWAYS felt just like Home. Brave Onwards you two Powerhouses 😎🍀💝 ~
Steve is a National Treasure. I remember the Sun City single that he put out. The video was excellent too.
What a guy, talented in so many ways. Great interview. Would enjoy seeing more of Steven, interesting dude.
Thanks Steven. Thanks Bruce. With all due respect to my beloved Ohio State Marching Band. This is the best damn band in the land! First saw these guys in the late seventies while I was in HS. Cleveland, Ohio. Kid Leo! WMMS playing Born To Run at 6pm every Friday! I'd sell my soul to go back. Love you guys💙 RIP Big Man 😢
For a guy who never acted before, he scared me to death when he murdered Adriana in The Sopranos. He brought awareness of apartheid to young people. Super talented man.
He talks about that in an interview with Stern where he says how it made him sick to his stomach to put his hands on a woman like that. He's truly a king.
This Chapp is a blast!
I try to never miss the Sunday night radio show, its fun, and unpredictable.
I'm not in agreement with Stevie on anything political but love his work.
Such a fun person.
So you think apartheid was cool ?
@@maitreyas.4902 I don't know how you got that out of what I posted.
OK, I don't agree with MOST of his political views.
How about that?
Remember seeing Steve and his band on a solo tour in Manchester, England in the mid-80s.
Also interesting that some of his songs from the ‘80s such as Checkpoint Charlie and Pretoria covered issues like the Berlin Wall and Apartheid in S.Africa which at the time we thought would never be changed, but in a relatively short time after soon ceased to be. Definitely had his finger on the pulse of socio-political issues
KEEP ON ROCKIN' Mr. Stevie!!! Met you eons ago in Asbury Park at the Stone Pony....so GLAD that you and Bruce hooked up and created a LEGENDARY rock band!
He is without a doubt one of the kings of rock and roll. Steven you have brought so much joy to this world ♥️👏🏻
He came to Bath in the UK to promote his book and took part in a Q&A ( where he also sat facing the back of his chair!) and he was absolutely brilliant. Standing ovation when he walked in and again when he left. This was during the Covid pandemic and I cannot tell you how much his visit was appreciated. Sounds really corny and it was probably because of that and the fact that he was prepared to appear at such a difficult time that I was actually near to tears at being that close to one of my heroes. Just an epic day. And to have Bruce appear in this interview ? What a way to start my morning.......
🥹that’s beautiful
🙂@@_Pauper_
How do you feel about the way Bruce dissed him standing right next to him? In case you missed it Bruce went on about them having done nothing at all in life except the music.
@@lucydayLucida Zero diss. Bruce was not diminishing Steve's other accomplishments. Springsteen is simply saying that in a world of "straight" expectations -- go to school, get a steady job, buy a house in the suburbs, etc. -- music is all they had and all they strove for, and it's all that they could really do. Certainly not go to college, certainly not work at the factory. All else they achieved was made possible because of the music.
@@lucydayLucida You mean right after Little Steven said they didn't know how to do anything else? Dude, they were making fun of themselves. They both know how fortunate they are. Sheesh.
I'm not the biggest Springsteen fan in the world, but I have total respect for both of those guys. I respect their music, their dedication, their politics, and their heart.
Love this! Thank you.
The absolute legend himself
legend??🤣🤣🤣🤣
I adore him he reached out to Jaime Raskin when he was going thru chemo and gave him do-rags ❤
Fred Armisen might win an Oscar one day for portraying him in a Springsteen biopic.
That's the whole reason I clicked on this video! Fred has a secret life?!
The beauty of music is that it is universal. Just the feels.
Great interview of a rock n roll LEGEND and humanitarian!!
I loved that line at the end "occasionally I knock down a windmill or two"
Love his work 👍 Good for him spending a lifetime being the power behind the throne in several roles 👍🎵🎶🎸
The amount of love i am soaking in watching this is unreal!!
I like this Stephen. I've seen other interviews and he's honest and real.
I like him as well. Excellent interview. Still was it just me or did he appear to lose his balance when Bruce walked right up and stood in front of him and started to chat? 😶🌫
Love this!
I latched on the New Jersey sound of the 70's while in college. "Little" Steven, Southside Johnny, Bruce were part of the soundtrack of my life. Steven's work with Southside Johnny, Disciples of Soul, Gary US Bonds is music that moves me to this day. Thanks!
I really wish he would have talked about his involvement with Southside Johnny and the Asbury Jukes.
The first two Disciples of Soul records are fabulous. Underground Garage is eye-opening and super entertaining. Saw him with Springsteen back in the day and he was tremendous and essential. Still got a sparkle in his eye. Cool cat.
Fantastic interview! Stevie Van Zandt is a great showman and always was a great backup man for Bruce. I give this interview a few thumbs up. 👍👍 Now here is my love for Stevie from Kathy💘💘👩👩
Savorying every minute of this as I have been a fan since I was a teenager and I am now 60
he seems such a
ray of sunshine and so humble..
☮️🕊☮️
✌🏻🌏🇦🇺🤘🏻
This man is pure genius! The way he captured the purity of NORWAY is mind-blowing! Thank you, sir, for all you do! God Bless!!!
This guy has my heart and soul in the most profound way. No one else like him on the face of the earth! Rock on as you do Steve!
Great interview. Great guy! Thanks!
The arts make you think, it expands the mind.
You cannot underestimate Steve's arrangements for the East Street. There were also all those great songs for the Asbury Jukes. In the 1970s, my brother used to sneak backstage, and Steve was very cool about it. Steve hates cold weather. Hence, his original nickname, "Miami Steve."
Steven Van Zandt is a legend and one of the coolest guys in any room he enters.
Thanks, Steve, for being a great friend to teachers!
Steven is a national treasure.
A great interview and such an awesome person. Rock on!
A truly blessed duo
He was my favorite in the Sopranos 😅. What an awesome interview!
He started the Uber cool the underground garage radio 📻 station- I'm a gigantic fan of him what a cool guy 😊
Lillehammer was so good.
Love those classic Disciples Of Soul albums from the '80s, saw their Rockpalast show in '84 in Germany.
This was so inspiring and fun. But that’s what these guys give you. Always. Hope.
a legend!!!!🎉🤙
Loved him in Lillyhammer!!!
Multi talented. My fav!
