[johnhamilton08]

[LeeseeNeesee]

I'm a

Petty Honey Bee and I Sting

[lowedt]

if your not getting older, your dead.

[JawsJaws]

Damn The Torpedoes is one of my favorite albums.

[mulehead126]

Sure is nice when a rock star is really just a regular guy.

[cw4488]

every "star" who still owns his own music should sent a thank you to tom petty........he paved the way.

[jokers412]

holyshit the best parts at 3:10 - 3:26 geez tom your...tom petty no other words to describe you.

[dtkrulac1]

Petty rocks!

[Tompettylady601]

happy birthday to thomas earl petty ily

[vannacut27]

wow, tom petty rocks! can never go wrong listening to tom...

[SheWhoPlays]

You can never fade away way. You find memory of you, within people who still after all these years: rock on!

[jeephiker]

pick just about any heartbreaker's music video from this site....and rock on.

Wait!..I'll pick one for you...."license to kill". It kills.

[MsVivijean]

Cool



[spankthewan]

If Tom Petty would quit being so SELFISH and just die, he'd be a legend. I want to hear some Petty on the radio, for shit's sake.

[theart1rm]

@spankthewan That's an aweful thing to say. Bad carma just might turn around and bit you in the a*s. He's already a legend. All dying accomplishes is making records sales more pricy. He doesn't like that and as he said in this interview he has refused to lets the record companies charge more for his music than he thinks is a fair price. Wishing someone would die is really mean and selfish.

[marensthegoatboy]

he dont look so great, WHO CARES! 

[MaryAliceWeis]

OMG he is so friggen adorable...I'm melting, I'm melting...

[Imthewalrus06]

3 people here must be deaf.

[RemoteSwitch]

Uncle Tom is petty! Tom's a fag, his fans are balless fairies, and his music is made from hyena afterbirth. Fuck you Tommy boy!

[BlitzinLB27]

@RemoteSwitch wahh

[TheACDCnutter]

@RemoteSwitch Grow Up You Ass Hole ! How stupid have you just made yourself look What a comment Hyena Afterbirth ? whats the point ? keep your opinions In your Own Head Knowone wants a Dick Like you Parading about how you hate someone all over a Frickin Video page

[RemoteSwitch]

@TheACDCnutter Hypocrite.

[HallWayGang]

@RemoteSwitch trust me when i say this. i would slap the taste out yo mouth if you talked that shit. real talk, and, this coming from TP fan.

[RemoteSwitch]

@HallWayGang So you're a balless fairy.

[HallWayGang]

[RemoteSwitch]

@HallWayGang Funny bitch hypocrite.

[kittyhello377]

[hectorsalinasisback]

People who hate TOM PETTY are liberal idiots who support Obama and Bush's wars in the middle east where the U.S. spends billions to invade and brutally occupy sovereign nations where we force them to accept democracy as a form of government at the expense of our taxpayers and the cost of countless lives of innocent U.S. soldiers and civilians. Real conservatives know the U.S. should spend that money to create new jobs! TOM PETTY FANS FOR RON PAUL 2012!

[Jesusfreak2112]

Im proud to say that i have seen Tom Petty live, and even at 60 he can still out jam anybody!!!!!

[julesrulescr]

i just like things to be right...144 guitars...and you only need one...i sort of only speak when i have somethig to say...His Bobness...Dear Lord...I share his bday: Oct. 20th...if you're not getting older you're dead...

[julesrulescr]

I am proud to share TP's birthday: Oct. the 20th. That day I celebrate for the both of us, for he has taught me to be honest to myself, not to be perfect, just honest to myself, just like he is, TP is himself, and he is one great guy, a musician I am blessed to have grown up with, I hace 2 mp3 cd's in my car with 150 of his songs (many are missing) and each one makes fills me with integrity and rock. May you live long you rebel!.

[photopicker]

Tom has written a massive catalog on par with Lennon/McCartney. That's why he has survived this industry. Great band and great tunes. Cheers Tom.

[Trudeau2112]

and on the 8th day god said let there me tom petty

[calixie]

Tom is so great. What a genuinely nice guy.

[FisherVoncanon]

[wrd5013]

tom petty = boss.. end of story

[drumdude46]

opp's. one more thing: to be sure, "Search Petty Theft @ EPcot. we're NOT that "other" petty theft, playing in a dark, dank Club. only stuff of OUR tribute band, is shown playing Epcot Center, Florida, outside, on the big stage. yup. great sound. and........it's my belief that, 'we're the premier" Petty Tribute out there. haven't seen ANYONE else doin' this, quite as good as "our thing". hell, tome petty even approved us in a Rolling stone interview, years ago.

[drumdude46]

Oh, (con'd) you can search us on here, by typing in "Petty Theft at Epcot"

think someone shot us doing several tunes while we were doing our engagement there. good audio. that was summer '09. i'm the drummer. Mike Furlong, is Tom Petty. we've been doin this since the mid-90's. think we're one of the best ones' out there, as evidenced by some 'others' i've seen on Youtube.

Petty Theft. type that in, go have a look.

[Putaspellonyou]

getting coked up and punching a concrete wall...i think that's acting like a rock star

[Carroll316]

He has been and always will be a stand up guy. Honest and direct. He is a great song writer. I love Tom.

[lucybird49]

The BEST concert I have ever been to! Saw TP/Heartbreakers in Memphis back in 1977! The first of many..................

[THEnamezDUELZ22]

legend

[jtmichaelson]

Christmas 1979, I'm 11 years old living in Tampa Bay. I had just gotten my copy of KC & The Sunshine Band's "Please Don't Go" and loved it. Later that night I turn on Q105 to hear the NEW Tom Petty & The Heartbreakers single, "Refugee".

I don't know where that KC record went but I'm on my 8th copy of Damn The Torpedoes.

[drumdude46]

@jtmichaelson loved your story. just one thing, and guess i should offer this and set it straight, for FYI: "Refugee didn't come out till' 1981 i believe, or even a bit later. certainly wasn't out in '79. that was more like "I need to Know", Refugee was early 80's. anyway, agreed. Petty is the Shit.

[skatingsnakes]

@drumdude46 refugee was from the 1979 album Damn the Torpedos 1981 is more like the waiting

[drumdude46]

@skatingsnakes I'll be damned. yes it was. i stand corrected. you'd think that the Drummer in Tom Petty Tribute band ( me) from Reno, NV called  "Petty Theft", would know that! lol! touche'

i just remember seeing that Video for the Song (Refugee) and in my memory, it seemed to be playing in the early 80's, which, it DID, but just was actually unaware that the Album it was recorded on, was in fact, out in October, 1979. thanks for the correction.

[Silvia1826]

I remember seeing him as the Mad Hatter and I've loved him ever since. :D

[inatizzy2]

Tom Petty... Ya got to love him... He IS who he is and aint gonna change for No one. He is one of the LAST standing person who believes in what he feels and loves. Rock on TP!!!

[roxyredcat]

They are one of my favorite Rock Bands of all time. But I didn't know he was 60! That's okay, he's right "If you're not getting older you're dead" lol :-D Rock on Tom, you're awesome!

[gracesong312]

I love when he said, "And you only need one." and he does that weird bouncy laugh. I also like at 3:00 when stan's holding him up

[Merreee1]

He is just so cool. I love the way he thinks.  And, he looks so good to me.

[AppleSunbee33]

haha, how do you get past ones "bobness" lol

[AppleSunbee33]

[fms51]

2010 tour row 2 seats!!! i'm seeing a ledgend!!

i will never forget him i have all his albums.

[cowboysfan782008]

Petty is an American Icon, and imo, "hero". He is old school from when rockers had substance and actually wrote lyrics that everyday ppl could relate to.

[TeeHeeiluvu]

TOM IS AMAZING!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! BEAST!

[trevorevans12]

Love Tom but he doesn't seem to realise latley that he has fans ouside the U.S. as he seems to ignore the U.K. totaly. (Tom if you read this please cross the pond, I would love to come see you in Cali but it realy isnt practical to come all that way for a few hours ;-0)

[19nervousbreak]

what an excellent video! I cant believe I have not seen this. See you in Houston Tom from the front row. I'll be holding a small sign that says "George Sees You"....

[HowPettyful]

I hope Tom never dies... God knows his music won't die

[hometownblues]

Seriously, Tom is beyond the best. If you get a chance to see him live, do it! Some of the best money and time you will EVER spend.

[reints74]

The best. Just the best

[MovieGirl1795]

this man is my idol. i love him so much. i have followed his entire career.

[Rainman269]

I love this guy. The stuff he comes up with using basic chords is amazing.

[MzJean2oo5]

Listening to Tom Petty's music has always put me at such great ease. For such a succesful man, he's the most humble musical icon the industry has to offer. I don't see him backing down anytime soon. Absolutely love him!

[MysticEyes86]

Man....we Got Lucky...Thanks Tom for all the great music!

[OFFICIALreaper5]

A new album?

[MzJean2oo5]

@OFFICIALreaper5 His new album is entitled Mojo. It's gonna have a more blues feel to it than his other music. I've listened to one of them on his website and it's actually pretty good.

[honeykbee]

Go ahead, Tom, give it to me

[Dreamteaker]

It seems to me that he´s a peacefull man, I relax when i heard him talking ^^

[Laurian1980]

Tom Petty is what good music is all about.

His band puts on the best live show I've ever seen, they just kept getting better and better with age!

[Farmfrenzygirl2]

Beside the fact TP is a legend, great in every way, his talking voice is awesome & VERY sexy! Love him & him & anyone he plays with!

[steveconn]

Into The Great Wide Open Tour

'91 - still have the shirt somewhere.

[1095km]

Tom Petty is the king of rock. I flew to Los Angeles last year from Australia to see him play at the Hollywood Bowl.

Awesome gig!

[christineMonroe68]

I love him.

[efisher88]

Does the vid just all of the sudden stop at 6:33 for anyone else?

[tprockerfl]

try watching it in HQ

[ZigZagZebra247]

@efisher88 nope

[tompetty1976]

@efisher88 YES !!!!! :-(

[warewood]

Anyone who's every written, or tried to write a song, knows who & what Tom is.....if you're too ignorant to get it, just shut your pie hole & stop making a fool out of yourself.

[lostbreaker]

Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers are Legends. There music is timeless...it is the soundtrack for mankind.

[ryanindy124]

AMEN

[MultiMeli123]

Go blow some place else if ya don't like Petty you "I know everything about music" narcissist! Tom Petty rocks & plenty of others think so too, he's richer than you'll ever be ya butt nut. I love you Tom! You Rock!

[efisher88]

wow plotchickens have some respect...he may not be the best but he definately is a true artist, whatever crap u listen to I'm sure isn't in the rock hall of fame

[WheatusOfficial]

this man and his band mates are my heroes. and there is no chance in hell his type of career view would be tolerated in today's music industry. someone as talented and opinionated as he would be anonymous, never heard from if he had gotten started in 1999.

[gonzopoet]

33 years and 60 million albums sold..... I'm sure he could care less what chicken dick and trampchera think :) Go buy some crap rap.

[17crazyeyes]

Plotchickens - He's not Dead

Tranchera - You're a fucktard.

[plotchickens]

he is a fucking wrinkled up mummy

and i wont rest until the brainwashed people of this world stop listening to his shitty music and listen to real artists instead

[TheLeivo]

this is a real artist douchebag, go and listen to your fucked up crap aka rap and r'n'b this is real music for real people, so fuck off

[sleephla]

Such a legend.

[petey161]

'

Love or hate I am a fan.....

[parrothead597]

Oh....and what prey Tel is your definition of rock...?

[TheLeivo]

lets hear you do better then ey. your a lowlife who doesn't know ANYTHING about music. fuck off.

[TheLeivo]

fuck off douchebag, your just a lowlife who doesn't know ANYTHING AT ALL about music. fuck off, retard.

[Tranchera]

I know everything at all about music, he sucks. But I don't care to argue it to you.

[TheLeivo]

no he's not, u been reading wikipedia to try and get some knowledge in to a fuck all brain.

[plotchickens]

stop writing such awful fucking things about Tom Petty you disrespecting CUNT

[StarFirewisp2]

Phenomenal. Tom Petty is the spirit of American rock 'n' roll. Keep kickin' it, Tom. This generation needs your musical influence to put all of these new hack bands to shame.

[plotchickens]

he fuckin sucks

[parrothead597]

Wow...Really Creative....

[Wingspan91089]

Tom's the greatest.

[MsAlteredstate]

I love his speaking voice too, it's a balm to my soul.

[Lisihaldir]

Never tired of watching this

[81tlc]

I wonder how many of those 144 guitars I bought for him? ;) I absolutely LOVE my Tommy!

[shircol12]

Would be nice to see Stan Lynch come back and play -- to have all 5 original members together on stage would be great--

[maxsspanishmustang]

Steve's a better drummer though

[shircol12]

Steve is a great drummer but there is somethimg to be said for seeing the original musicians in the band

[tprockerfl]

this wraps up all the reasons I LOVE THIS GUY!

[Lisihaldir]

My hero too, I love you Tom!

[Oahunative59]

"If your not getting older...your dead"......great quote! viva la Petty

[leftchicago]

Who' friggin' cooler than Petty?

[Freeneuron]

Thanks Tom. Your music has really added to the quality of my life. You and your band are amazing. I have seen you live in concert twice and it was both times one of the best concerts I have ever been to. For those of you who have never been..it is an experience not to be missed!

[joetine5]

LOve him!!

[ricaine101]

Calling him "classic rock" is unfair. They are the enduring definition of American rock and roll.

[MoonpieFromCV]

keep on rockin guys!!

[uwrekme]

Awesome!! Tom Petty is the best!! Always will be my favorite rocker, have traveled far and wide to see him. Breakdown, go ahead and give it to me.

[tompondus]

Best Live Album Ever. They should defently do a Bond song soon after listening to Goldfinher on the album. They are so good. I love them:) Love from Norway. Please Tom,Come over here.:)

[drumsbykevin]

Tom Petty Rules!!

[graphicbrew]

New album! New tour!
