John Hiatt: Perfectly Good Guitar

[HairyNevus]

OMG, David Letterman back when he was funny....

Mr. Hiatt, thank you for never changing from being awesome

[p0l6rb36r]

they all got wet when he smashed that thing

[mymarinemason]

They all but wept when he smashed that thing. That is the line.

[dnewby71]

Great musicians such as this write and record great music everyday. But thanks to the record labels, most of it doesn't get any promotion..... I know thats obvious, but just sayin

[chriller99]

which guitar is john playing ? looks awesome !

[annoyinglydifficult]

Yes,Barnakos,those are the lyrics. Fun song from a fabulous artist.

[Barnakos]

Does he say: ''Beautiful women standing everywhere, they all got wet went he smashed that thing'' ? cool lyrics

[datzfast]

his fans love him his non fans have never heard of him just ask.

[cheetachan10113]

i've seen him live 5 times and he just keeps getting better

[epistte]

Nobody can turn a phrase like John Hiatt. His songs are timeless.

[Mangababe00]

fucking great song and a great entertainer.5 Years ago i saw him live.great

[matmormm]

As a matter of fact, there are 5 chords...

[BIGDOGDINWOODIE]

Retards with guitars ? The artists you mentioned are some of the most talented and influential musicians EVER. Please explain

[kohanjin]

cool.  another 4/4 time, 4 chords song. reminds me of Bob Dylan, Tom Petty, CCR, Neal Young, Bruce Springsteen and other retards with guitars.

[vdubrio]

You know so much, where's your fucking record at, RETARD. Just because you know your cords doesn't make you an expert. Fuck Off.

[MandMRB]

i dare you to write a song without a 4/4 song with more than 4 chords, record it, get famous. then you can rip on talented musicians who are famous for a reason. if you can't, then you shouldn't talk like you're such a big shot.

[auteur116]

seriously? retards? go back to your corner and listen to some dragonforce.

[CamelClass]

@kohanjin, cool. another inbred youtube user.

[first4the2nd]

@kohanjin oh man.. you really don't know what you're talking about... i don't know if you're serious with the songs you've favorited or not.. but c'mon.

[jimwalsh2001]

Hyatt is one of those artists (along with Marshall Crenshaw, for one) who should be a massive star. No justice, no pop...

[MissJNMelvin]

@jimwalsh2001 Hiatt. He's not a hotel. But yes, I agree with you absolutely. I'm going to see him live on July 25th in Atlanta and I cannot WAIT!!!

[Skavar4000]

@jimwalsh2001 I would include Shawn Mullins in that group as well...

[nolan83]

Is that Scott Ian playing lead guitar on that ES335? Hahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha­hahahahahahahahaha

[hankwilliams3rd]

haha! Looks like it hey! But it isn't Scott...

[buzzmeade]

Its the guy from the Wallflowers...I think his name is Michael something or other..

[onemorebrando]

@buzzmeade i remember that guy. great tone.

[mailtrap22]

This wasn't strictly a metaphor (rare for Hiatt),He wrote this after seeing a performance by Nirvana.

I suppose though that it ruminates, as a lot of his songs do, about aging, loss, and lost innocence.

[dock534]

i was 7 months 7 days old that day. lol

[charismatictarsier]

woot indeed!

[DOgunsanya]

sweet!

[aspsocio]

w00t!

[calavera1945]

i thought this would be another woot rick roll.

[shoopman]

hello wooters!!!

[SpaceFace525]

i see they got you too.

[BionicEd]

I know Pete Townshend has smashed a few in his career!

[seans10]

I can remember sleeping on the living room floor of my parents' house home for the weekend from college and being awakened by this song blasting on the TV. Still sounds great after all these years.

[lespaul56]

John Hiatt is THE man!!! Nice monster tone by Mike!!

---THE JASON PLUMLEE SIDESHOW---

[maurocom]

[WillianNed]

[Cldfsn0200]

Totally cool song! I'm a fan of Letterman and Hiatt but I missed this show so this was great to see! Love this album and this song!

[F4T5H6]

What the hell is with all the raising of the eyebrows?

[gerardtraxel]

In my opinion it just part of his stage presence ,you know he is kind of animated.....

[uuaz62]
