I like TP but this song is what Clear Channel loves and will bombard the radiowaves with it for years to come because its what they consider "safe" rock.. I consider it lame, its simple, its easy to play, its redundant and takes zero musical ability to write it, play it or to like it. I would bet that TP would agree with me because to make money he needs to be on the radio which is what he accomplished with this lame ass song.
I'm a teenager and I love Tom Petty. I don't think there's anything wrong with that, he has great music and I'd much rather annoy my neighbors with this than with the crap my generation listens to. I wish we had more musicians like him still making music like this.<3
I have been a Tom Petty fan since 1995!!!!! I had NO idea that Randy Jackson was his drummer, you learn something NEW EVERYDAY!!!!! Rock on Tom and Randy!!!!
So unpretentious, so simple... so cool ! That's Rock 'n' Roll - no big gestures, no surface oriented show effects or face lifted "forever-young-puppets". Just guys getting older and older ... and better and better and better...!
Man these guys have been rockin since i was a teenager..still do it for me..and w/o any big hoohaw bs changing members n stuff...LOVE YA T& the Hs!!!!
Always wished I could get front row seats just once but with 8 kids...3 with severe handicaps...just couldn't afford it. But WOW,we have a great time on the lawn!! And we certainly rock more than this group up front. People,it's TPHB!!!! WAKE UP!!!!!
Appalooza !! The Movie. It`s a duster with Viggo Morttensen . Campbell and Petty do a song at the end while credits are going up. Have a listen. Awesome. Can`t find it on the Soundtrack. I`ll need help on this one people.
I told my girlfriend about how much i loved this song the night before we went out to this country bar...We were sitting down at the bar, and the live band said "doing a request for tom petty". I turned to my girlfriend and said, "Wouldn't it be crazy if they played you wreck me?" Then I heard those bad ass chords ring through the whole bar. Never was there a more crazy dancing white guy
Their studio work is great,but they are truly in their element playing live-and they don't need back-up dancers,costume changes,or anything else to put on a fabulous show!No artificial ingredients here!
anyone going to see them at the izod center in nj? went to see them last month 28th at madison square garden..it was awesome!! much like this..i wana see them again!
Fantastic!!! Seen him 3 times. Last time the concert was sold-out but went anyway to see what I could find. At the last minute the ticket booth opened and I got tickets in front row, right in front of the microphone!! Best seats in the house, for $50 each!!! :)
This was in Philadelphia around 2004... Awesome!! It sure beats the 2 other concerts that I was in... very, very far...
Tom petty is THE MAN!!! I've seen three shows of his and all of them were GREAT! I was also @ Deere Creek Indiana when the wicked shit went down in 2005....FYI...He doesn't miss his beat!!!
The best version of this song is on the 1999 DVD "High Grass Dogs: Live at the Fillmore." Howie Epstein (and guest Bo Diddley) were both very much alive and since time waits for no one the band would never look or sound better than they did on those nights in San Francisco.
This makes me want to drive fast and change lanes quickly and frequently!
