[rootbound420]

vocals are killerrrr heree...

[gjjgbf]

When I first saw tom petty I thought he was lord voldemort. Haha

[racing202]

If I had to compare Johnny Cash's version this one. I'd say they're each as good. Reason:

They made this song and basically "customized" it to fit each of their genres. Even though Tom sang this originally not a cover version.

[DOBdeu]

this song is from Johny Cash!



[nelsonr32]

@DOBdeu. No it's not. Petty wrote it.

DON"T BACK DOWN! STOP BEN BERNANKE! END THE BANK BAILOUTS! END THE FED!

[Spionsilver]

i know all americans like the song as it mirrors their attitude and lifestyle ..but sorry..it aint for most of ya cuz you already backed down to life politics fat drugs alcohol and lacking knowledge...

[CherB313]

@Spionsilver The #1 Christian DJ in America plays this after the news going into his show.

[MinnisotaNice]

@Spionsilver Look who’s talking you bastard. just by posting a comment like that you just showed everybody here how ignornat you are. if you think your so good then why are you going so low as to rip on people beacouse of where they were born and where they live. you should be here to enjoy the music not get pissy towards americans.

[Spionsilver]

@MinnisotaNice ouch c´mon..i am no bastard since my mom and dad are married people

and i am not ignorant ..otherwise i wouldn´t care if most people today are stuck in their limited abilities..but i tell it like it is..i know it hurts..dont be mad at me for being honest..it is such a great song because theres so much emotion and message in there..sadly most people fail to understand..and this is why they back down every day..have a nice day

[sockmonkey737]

Stan is the best drummer, never back down Stan!

[UnseenChains]

I always liked this song. Good song to listen to when you feel like shit.

[ibmsst]

@UnseenChains Amen. ;-)

[kohogoalie31]

@UnseenChains Or before a sports game when..especially if your a goalie ;)

[20FieryHearts]

I know that I won't back down 'till the crap on the charts nowadays that people call music is gone and replaced with real talent and rock 'n' roll.

[misslantana52]

oh~ i like this alot.........Tom Petty won't back down!! Rock on Tom!!

[MrMegaFredzeppelin]

We will never back down.ROCK ON!!!

[MrMegaFredzeppelin]

We will never back down.ROCK ON!!!!

[1962drob]

This is an awesome song. This song represents the USA, because no matter what happens, we "Won't Back Down".

GOD BLESS AMERICA!!!!

[MrMegaFredzeppelin]

[xDEATHxPONYx]

I was looking for eminem, but this is really good!

[10995]

Yeah, this is the only live version that sounds as good as the album's as far as i know, all the other live performances on youtube that i see are in the 21st century and they are singing the chorus just a tad different.

[10995]

Campbell sure looks like he is enjoying himself

[themilliondollararm]

they sound better live then the album!!!

[MrMegaFredzeppelin]

@themilliondollararm Agreed.

[10995]

the guitar solo is even better than the original version

[Mascha500]

Ich liebe Tom Petty achja und noch was es muss nicht immer alles in Englisch geschrieben werden tu ich zwar immer aber auch mal für die die der Englischen Sprache nicht so mächtig sind schreibt was ihr wollt egal in welche Sprache !!!

[MrShane2828]

Always picks me up when I feel down best song ever

[ChiefShittingBull]

this really is a work of art - best of the best - can't be equalled .

imitation IS the sincerest form of flattery

so have a listen to John O' Callaghan's ( The Maine ) cover.

absolutely beautiful - it'll melt your heart.

and John O will be the first one to Give It Up for our Uncle Tom !!

love peace & music people xx

[babyfacedstar]

I love Tom Petty.

[FlutieFlakes14]

I listen to this and it works me up thinking how much music sucks now. People will listen to songs like this for decades to come, and I betcha no one will even know who Wiz Khalifa is in 5-10 years

[Delmuth]

@FlutieFlakes14 Wiz who?

[Aardvarked88]

@FlutieFlakes14 YAWN

[MrHambolino]

@FlutieFlakes14 lol^^ i don't even know who's Wiz Khalifa right now :D i give a shit on all those non-talented pop singers -.-

[ChErRyPePsI23454]

20 people had backed down

[joeryan198410]

super happy tune...

[Louizabiza]

Yeah baby!

[KeeYaBitch]

I'm amazed on how in sync Tom & Howie are!

[20FieryHearts]

Mike Campbell is one of my all-time favorite guitarists :)

[2010CamaroSC]

This reminds me of Cheech and Chong...

[mikefan09]

14 people backeddown like bitches, or they biding their time heehee,

[VelvetPunk4life]

Does anyone know where specifically I can find a copy of this online? I'm having ZERO luck!

[Spionsilver]

bieber may be forgotten befor TP even attaches the next pair of strings on his guitar...cuz he wont back down

[Phony1000]

should be the anthem for all youtube edited vids and last but not least kinoto

[Md80123]

It really brings up your spirit

[bmknight11]

Let's see beiber change the world. Tom was an icon, not this nonsense in top 40 now!

[MrRockermocker]

@bmknight11 right on

[ibmsst]

@bmknight11 Amen!

[Philsmith133]

Gives me chills every time

[lostbreaker]

[TheArabmobile1]

[marycigarettes]

what a great live singer.....great sound...great songs...great band.

[anjab83]

einfach geil

[IAmPlaysWithSquirrel]

@brianmayguitarist Trust me, you're not the only one who sees that. First time I ever saw him I thought it was Brian for a couple of seconds. I wonder if they've ever met? Imagine how funny that would be, especially back in the 80s when the resemblance practically made them look like twins.

[renegadebiker24]

This song kinda describes me. :)

[brianmayguitarist]

who thinks that the lead guitarist looks like brian may

[David19651965]

hmm

[PietroRumenta]

Tom Petty is such a charismatic character and this song fills my heart

[luvinjasper]

this song..these words had a time and a place that were meant to be..like everything we do in every day life..today, will b tomorrows history...believe in the strength of love..for we really dont live for hate, but maybe to make a mark, stand tall for something true within our spirit...you will be remembered for "I won't back down"..:)

[basdegast]

@luvinjasper  amen

[basdegast]

@luvinjasper

amen

[starexploder]

The eminem version is better! XD like if you get it!

[63thekey]

and u can shove ur pearl visual where the sun dont shine

[63thekey]

i still stand my ground on the use of the judas and st peter kiss in music.... man made of course

[ampacific1317]

I went to his concert when I was like 9 or 10 and I still live him!

[MrManintheblackhat]

the people that dislike thought it meant DIS I LIKE

[JnrYulara]

The 13 people who dislike this song has already back down before

[SuperChawy]

@JnrYulara LOL

[internazionalikos2]

@JnrYulara the 13 peopleo who deslike maybe they don't like this song or that kind of music

[MrRellboy1]

@JnrYulara 20

[wa7uhr]

@JnrYulara

Well, if you have any stamina or personal guts, this song ratifies what you are.



[funnycarrot]

@JnrYulara auf englisch bitte

[themancdogg]

@JnrYulara Wow very clever.

[Nigelxman1]

@TomPettyATHeartbrak You're an asshole

[cheryllatif]

I rode out Ike in Galveston,and this is "our" song. If you ever come down here and put this song on the jukebox, you will immediately know who rode out the storm and stayed after to rebuild. PEACE. This is OUR song!

[68buickwildcat]

Heyyyyyyyyyy Baby! There 'ain't no easy way out!

......and I WON'T BACK DOWN!!!

[Richardpahern]

it saddens me that there was a fight going on while both of you listened to one of the best songs ever written....lets agree on one thing. tom petty is a great role model.....and has the best hair ever.

[bancroftballer3]

This man is great,

[ITherealMarcomanI]

Awesome! ^^

[shmadsta]

Dang he's 41 in this video! He looks like he's in his twenties!

[DJBigz1988]

theres always some fighting going on in these posts that have NOTHING to do with the music. everyone needs to sit back and chill and listen to some tom petty.

[startoy123456789]

THIS SONG HAS BEEN NOMINATED FOR THE OFFICIAL SONG OF OCCUPIED TIBET. I HAVE VOTED FOR IT AND HOPE YOU ALL DO TOO AT TIBETTRUTH.

THANKS!

I LOVE TOM PETTY!

[MaghoxFr]

Thumbs up if you're sick of watching retarded soldiers, self proclaimed heroes top ranted comments in every video of this song in youtube!

[tampabaybucs7]

@MaghoxFr soldiers ARE heroes you fuck

[MaghoxFr]

@tampabaybucs7 oh really, and why would that be? Let me put it this way: soldiers who fight for their rights or freedom, or defend themselves from invasions and attacks ARE HEROES. Soldiers that invade, kill, destroy and opress weaker nations for the sake of their government needs are shite.

[EternRoylty]

Would love to See Tom Petty at Riflestock! Anyone know how to get ahold of them? Are you a Rebel American Patriot? Well Riflestock is our answer to Woodstock! Let's rock and have a good time!

[yisagirl1]

Always TOM PETTY. STEVIE NICKS FAV. SINGER.

[tamakapo]

[slipmat2020]

R.I.P Howie! Seriously good musician wasted by a terrible drug.

[titleistisadamscott]

@slipmat2020 what drug did he die from?

[smokadagonja23]

@titleistisadamscott he hasnt died! hes alive and well and lives in gainsbourough FL

[smokadagonja23]

@titleistisadamscott oh my bad i though you were asking about tom petty. Tom Petty is alive and well.

[titleistisadamscott]

@smokadagonja23 haha what drug did howie die fromz>?

[WeirSpirit]

@titleistisadamscott voted right down

[titleistisadamscott]

@WeirSpirit I just want to know what he fucking died from fucking fuck fuck just fucking tell me

[koriepfrank]

HEYYYY BABY! I think that part of the song was pre-recorded and played...petty can't hit notes like that.

[sealudt2]

@koriepfrank and im sure tom petty told you that

[infeted14]

@koriepfrank not true at all! he certainly sings it...although in later live recordings he sings the lower harmony...as you will be able to tell (in the chorus) because he cannot hit it anymore. like springsteen in badlands...he used to be able to sing the high note in the harmony, but cannot anymore.

[FriedChicken192]

when i hear petty.....I SCREAM AND SHRILL LIKE A LITTLE GIRL :DDDD

[MrOldtimerocknroll]

how can you not like this song!! :D

[Peitzsucks]

Petty is the Man

[bosko485]

just great, this guy doesnt have one bad song!

[KarlaMercury]

god tom petty

[infeted14]

@rhstechtube islam is a religion....who are you calling the moron?

[dabeste1957]

wonderfull



[DandBMonk]

This song gives me chills...you think it gave Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers chills singin' it?

[scottreno40]

RENO!!!

[haynamarshall]

Tom's random smiles are just too cute

[DandBMonk]

This is one of those songs that makes ya feel like you can do anything...that's why it's the alarm ringtone on my cell phone! LOL! Gotta get motivated for the day somehow!

[pomponioo]

awesome =3 made my day witht this song

[shockthesky]

but it's so funny that he didn't want George Bush to sing this song.. It was ok for Johnny Cash to do it but Republicans - well that just wasn't going to happen...

[hornedfrogmusic234]

this isnt country music, wtf are you talking about Thelookout its southern rock, damn

[hornedfrogmusic234]

this isnt country music, wtf are you talking about Thelookout

[outofthisworldgurl]

I am not a fan of this music but I must admit that this song kicks ass!!!

[theruley]

probably one of the best song writers of all time

[darthjacobmaak]

14 people backed down...

[needleszja]

Absolutely amazing. Purely amazing. this is my heaven right here.

[neilsthepoet]

Sorry but just because it's a great song and he's a helleva

singer doesn't mean...he knows crap about strategy and tactics

in relationship to the Hell on Earth the throat cutting, bus blowing up

terrorists..

[ChoirGames]

I like it, my friend Tom Petty

[GSFfaLife]

Soooo who's playing the bass in this one? =/ I see nothing but guitars...

[151ZS]

I wish all the amazing talent of the 60's to the 80's could replace the new garbage that we have today.

[slimv29]

@151ZS i know how you feel

[EmmaDivaOfficial]

Awesome. I miss real music.

[WeirFaithful]

PS Yay for Scott Thurston, seen many times w J.B. 

[WeirFaithful]

Totally awesome, as always!

[wassily64]

tom petty is better than sex

[WeirFaithful]

@wassily64 I see your point; guy is loaded with charm and talent! If hadn't already given 'my musical heart' to another, i'd prolly be rite there w ya!

;-)

[DerDeziBelzeBub]

@wassily64 what about sex while listening to good music ;-)

[epsdelta]

@jaddison1112 And how is your comment relevant to the music?  Get your head out of your politics!

[cesloda]

These words are in the blood of every human!

[alakaboom4]

@cesloda only in the brave :/ the cowardly snakes that dont care about anyones well being Would back down if they get to live, i myself would die for my contry, dont ask me why but i just would to know that i'm helping others, get this, im not in any religion and i have a heart? Geeee, Who Knew, well anyway, i got peoples backs :P

[thatguy1056]

My brother just ran away. I give up.

[thatguy1056]

@Garthysaurus when you find out mind telling me?

[Garthysaurus]

Anybody know what tuning Mike Campbell uses on this song?

[Berniewahlbrinck]

@Garthysaurus

I think the tuning is the normal one - why do you think otherwise?

[Garthysaurus]

@Berniewahlbrinck

Because if you try it with a slide it is really kind of cumbersome to get it all to work out, unless I'm doing it completely wrong. That could be the case, as I'm not much of a slide guitarist.

[Inuyasha6594]

Tom pettys music is a mix of rock and roll and several other genres with sensibilities of a true singer/songwriter. For 30 years their music has defied any simple categorization, but is outlaw in spirit and has influenced many of todays leading artists in the contemporary alternative country movment.

[mickwillie1]

c cup 

[zeldanick1]

@risker34 true

[risker34]

i like the lack of uniform i mean you have one who looks like hes from 18 hundreds one looks like a hill billy (no offence) and then tom petty looks like a hobo only without the tears in his cloths it rly says that there music is for the people and the fun not the popularity and money like some artists (miley cyrus cough cough cough)

love drivin to this song!
