Tom Waits Press Conference

[pizzarece]

This is not Tom Waits! there's no cigarette!!!!

[christianfekete]

How many of you expected this ending, come-on!

[superOdi123]

oh snaps

[houdinination]

That flash beeb is going on my nerves.

[Liquidcriminal]

Art: you're doing it right.

[nykstukaigeriakava]

my jaw is on the floor, haha

[MarkArandjus]

I heard someone was suing Tom Waits for rape, because this video fucked with his mind that much.

[mike99mws]

Bloody Brilliant

[mothy01966]

Brilliant!



[JHandcock1111]

The first time we watched this we spontaneously stood up, clapped and cheered at the end, it was SO awesome!!

[discoptimusprime]

WHAT A TWIST.

[TheKINGAMAZIN]

The only man who can sing a sad song and make me happy !

[AgentGhost]

what a lonely video

[multitudinal]

this is all a diversion: he's actually secretly constructing a death star

[liosalan]

Why did i not expect anything else but pure mental surrealism....The mans a Genius..

[riadhk]

Makes a perfect GOP candidate. Run Tom Run!

[VamLoveAndKisses]

I like to think he filmed this in his local village hall, with a friend controlling the camera.

[Appoldro]

@VamLoveAndKisses Yeah it's bogus, there's no press, the hall is empty as you can see at the end.

[MarkArandjus]

You know that feeling when you've been fucked with?

WELL YOU DO NOW! :D

[TaskMaster619]

people envy happiness, dogs though sense courage knowing jubilation means better... ass sex,

what the fuck? love this man

[TwoCows23]

@TaskMaster619 Assets

[TaskMaster619]

@TwoCows23

I prefer ass sex tbh (in the context of the video)

[TwoCows23]

@TaskMaster619 Who doesn't?

[TastyGravy1]

Never could stand that dog.

[KandyKoatedKaos]

[ikbenbnop]

awesome

[11dommyque11]

love it love him since i was 11 omg!!!!!

[rem857]

tom waits and his strange genius

[jonnythunderwalker]

f i ever meet Mr,Waits i would say thank you for everything.

[Argyropoulou666]

@exo26921 The ONLY way you can fit "fake and gay" and Tom Waits in the same statement if you followed his name by HATERS.

[MrThatmeanguy1995]

I wish i could watch this the first time every time i watch this. 

[mattybock]

i haven't laughed in a while, but this did it.

tom is the closest thing we have to a modern day medicine man.

[samlamamma]

Ha ha ha!!!! The world would truly be a poorer place without him:)

[ZappaFan101]

Classic Tom lol! I love his sense of humor.

[ZappaFan101]

@ZappaFan101

and of course, I also love his music!

[SocialyAwakardDancer]

..whaaattt?

[coldworld99]

HOLY GOD!! WHAT AN ENDING!

[rafaelloaa]

Troll

[xxInvdxx]

wat

[Howler15]

wonderful truly amazing can anyone else do a promo like this?

[lisaleather]

He's a nigger and i love him.

[JiggiJugana]

He is just GENIUS !

[chimpiki]

I needed this to put the spring back in my step today.

[Thespiderpig999]

WHAT AN IDIot

[FeartheHamburgler]

@Thespiderpig999 says the man with spiderpig in his name... *facepalm*

[anguelroumy]

ヤッパリ！taka i predpolojih

LOL

Love u Tom !

[vinoverus]

Wonderful! Classic Waits. I expected him to play the part through to the end and not give a damn that the majority wouldn't get it. He's become more forgiving (or commercial) with age. Thanks for sharing, itantirecords.

:-)

[Tallykoren]

Great video, thanks for the upload.

[IshnogProductions]

another reason to love this guy

[sclogse1]

Lookatim. Hilarious.

Let's get him up there on Mount Rushmore along with Jonathan WInters, Oscar Levant, and Orson Welles. give those other guys some time off.

[littlesongbird1]

I Hope he tours agian. 

[octofish]

What the hell is he building in there?

[PhoenixBlackthorn]

145 people didn't get it.

[geojorge1369]

Hilarious artistic and unique!

[hojofan]

LOL!!! I loved the ending!! You had us going! Peace2U, Alex

[FragileLittleAngel]

this is too cute :-) :-)

[cymbidia]

I live in the same town as Tom Waits and have seen him on occasion through the years. We've got more than one "celebrity" living in these parts, tho, and don't bother them. After all, people have to have somewhere to call home, somewhere everyone else just lets them live like normal folks, right?

[darthhoff12]

@cymbidia liar

[SmileysRevenge100]

@cymbidia I don't know man, if I was his neighbor, I think I'd bother the shit out of him. Maybe even sneak out in the middle of the night and steal his lawnmower, just he'll have a reason to come visit me!

[larissanoon]

Brilliant! Always...

[rodrigoraulsuarez]

Amazing Waits.

[NightProwler237]

O_Q that ending was so beautiful.

[mrErikLundgren]

If I'm not wrong this might just be the best musician to ever walk the planet. He has been inspiring me the last 15 years of my music making, and for every new song and every new album he comes up with something a little more this a little more that. He is so organic in his own evolution constantly changing and trying new things. If I ever get the chance to shake his hand and say thanks I might just scare him with my fan smile and crazy eyes. I love you, Mr.Tom Waits. Thank you for the journey.

[turtles12]

not looking good these days

[Pueben]

@turtles12 When did he ever look good?

[lebowskirulz]

troll'd

[gennylickalot]

You just blew my fucking mind Tom. lol

[burningburney99]

it's Tom fuckin Waits

[randolfambrose]

papa's got a brand new bag. living in america!

[stratcries]

A little botox going on huh?

[ACMEagency]

simply a GENIUS!

[serbwithblade]

This is a joke, right?

[92carlotta]

he should play the next Joker in batman.

[lejanni]

@92carlotta nope, riddler ;)

[worststorytellerever]

@92carlotta What you mean "play"?

[FretboardToAsh]

@92carlotta I don't think that'd work, because if it was a Batman movie, the Joker would have to lose. And frankly I don't think that'd happen if Tom played the Joker.

[evanbrewer1]

wat



[JHandcock1111]

Tom Waits is TOTALLY AWESOME!!!!!!!

[tolkren]

my words forgooglely or also known as all things awesome or irrelevant as webster shall someday define it.....

[pineappaloupe]

too bad it had cuts... still great

[whitsoxdude]

Wow.

[Direksone]

haha what the hell..

[mogecker]

Wow. Every time I want to relive an old acid trip all I have to do is listen to some Waits. He's always happy to oblige.

[jammetti]

wwhat's the song in the end. i want it

[amnesiacradar]

@jammetti

Another Sucker on the Vine - From Swordfishtrombones.

[kukkuzejt]

So did Dan Brown plan his tour?

[casadelrizos]

Mind=blown



[CheekyVimto08]

...is this satire?

[pretorious700]

@CheekyVimto08 jeseu christ, if you gotta ask.......

[CheekyVimto08]

@pretorious700 haha i think i asked before it was really clear and then realized.

[revolt350]

WHAT THE FUCK?!

[LilyTekseng]

This is epic. I've fallen in Love all over again with TW.

[wearedoctor]

forever alone

[sclogse1]

Youtube comments is the land of pehdtsckjmba, after you've left too many comments.

Acronmyn city.

Wonder if Tom had his kids make this map up.

By the way, Tom, as you have probably noticed making that Densel Washington film, your hair starts looking thicker when you stop dyeing it. (Happened to me)

[noahvrgas]

Fuckin Tom Waits...

[ErikTheRedArt]

Heeelarious!!

[tyrantenvoy]

damn that was worst then getting Rick Roll'd

[lcooper666]

LETS START A PESKAJUMBA FAN CLUB



[gregoryvn3]

Mind = Blown

[davidvollmar]

This was a killer tour - and yes, he was in fact - real...

[crushedcranium]

lol....awesome

[spinnact]

haha that was amazing. tom waits is THE MAN

[81thesaint]

...not only a musician but also a world-class performer

[dreadknottfoster]

whata trickster

[randomartist01]

FOR FUCK'S SAKE, TOM, YOU HAVEN'T PLAYED TORONTO IN THIRTEEN YEARS. If he doesn't hit it on his next tour, I'm through with him.

[gabrielwuzhere]

@randomartist01

you twat... just go drive to a state in which he is playing.

Many of us don't even have that chance

[sidDkid87]

@randomartist01 I suppose he could substitute Toronto for Tulsa and stay true to P.E.H.D.T.S.C.K.J.M.B.A. - - - however, he'll have to start that tour in Pittsburgh instead of Phoenix

[InjecteDVenoM]

@randomartist01 He hasn't been to Australia in 22 years.

And i wasn't even born when he was last here. I'm still waiting and hoping he comes soon, and so should you.

[0001kd]

Ohh, freakin Tom!

[frankie50]

A shooting star. Makes me laugh and cry. Forever my favorite songwriter.

[rjs01007]

I love that reporters still flock to this guy expecting him to deliver serious answers to their questions. Oh well, their mindless persistence is my entertainment. =)

[LOVELIFE54]

OMG ..... HE IS HILARIOUS !

[zeromeobass]

The greatest comedian since Benny Hill.

[Zarkenheim]

Tom Waits is my hero!!! I'm an 18 year old boy (Norwegian... But still) who starts to giggle like a schoolgirl whenever I see Tom Waits. I feel so silly XD

[Kylianvb]

God I loved that ending.

[Thereisonlythemoment]

One is never quite sure if he is being profound and serious or if he is utterly and totally taking the P***. Mad man or Genius? lol

[tristaNINchains]

@Thereisonlythemoment he is definitely nuts!

[wc4dblues]

How PROFOUND. I agree with him on this one, could it be a plot by seventh day inventists I think. Or not?

[MarkArandjus]

My mind has been fucked with! :D

[spetow]

Only Tom could come up with something like this

[muzglimy]

he's just shitting on everyone, haha

[wishiwasgoodatguitar]

When he walked over to the to the music player and lifted the arm up i came and started farting

[lestalkmorebasss]

Profound. PEHDTSCKJMBA, indeed. I often wonder if Tom has somehow engineered a Fidora tree? "Where does he get such wonderful toys?" History, would you care to comment? I'm really just laughing with this.

[Intravert]

Oh... what is that song at the end of the vid?.. Another musical gem. What's it's name?

[iminthefuturetoo]

@Intravert Just another sucker on the vine from swordfishtrombones.

[Intravert]

Thank you :)

[cathybanks1]

Say it with me: Pehdtsckjmba

[caoimhin92]

holy shit that was awesome!!!

[navyswcc12]

I can see why Tom & Keith Richards had a musical collaberation. LOL

[RobotNinjaShark09]

Tom, you are fucking crazy. I salute you for it.

[ricosantana14]

genius= tom waits!!!!!!

[gondor420]

he was asked why he is starting his tour in the american southwest. he replied with "they are the only people who still appreciate a singer in tight red paints." that is so true!

[BombadierYossarian22]

amazing album glitter and doom. I'd recommend it if you havent heard too much waits as its got songs from all over

[Rikke0Richard]

Tom is fantastic! :)

[hangmeinabottle]

brilliant. 

[ranXerox09]

PEDHDTSCKJMBA

..laugh my fuckin ass off

[enlightenedspartan]

Oh my god christ I am in tears of laughter. What a goddam joy it was to watch that

[AcephalousPoultry]

I don't get it, why did he make the press sit so far back in the room? what was the purpose of the empty rows?

[phallictractor]

@AcephalousPoultry

The whole point was that it was a recording and he was talking to himself.

[AcephalousPoultry]

@phallictractor hahahaha!! HAhaHAHAHAHAHAHAhahahah!!!!!! hhhhhhhhhhhhh!!!!!!!aaaaaaaaaa­aaaaaaaaa!!!!!!!

[Usernamenottaken2k]

@AcephalousPoultry well played sir!

[zophar23]

@AcephalousPoultry

haha

[Joee1257]

say hi to your mother

[oMRGREENTEAo]

hiliarious. :)

[mangacarta1]

i thought that all americans are idiot. but...

guys are you sure that he is american?

[briteness]

@mangacarta1 What a frickin' jerk you are. He is, of course, American, and one of the most popular and well-respected singers in America, among the over-14 set.

[JHandcock1111]

@briteness - And 14 and under - my kids KNOW he is a God. They love him - and hate the fast food "music" crap coming out of hollyweird right now. Tom Waits RULES!!!!!!

[SwingRiots]

@mangacarta1 I'd just like to point out the word "idiot" should have been plural in that particular sentence.

[anooseholay]

@mangacarta1 I don't think that every person from Turkey is an idiot. I think it's safe to say there is at least one though...

[PeterBensen]

Perfect illusion. Everything Mister Waits does can be the truth or can happen in the real World. But it's still an illusion. Thats why Mister Waits surprising us still after 40+years, like a clown can make us laugh or can make us cry. Or you love it or you like it..... There is nothing in between.

[YIIMM]

Wait a minute...that's not Tony Franciosa!

[hoveringsombrero818]

@YIIMM and he's going out east!

[SwampDaddy7]

@YIIMM He dated your mom, too?!?

[copyflex]

he's connected to a wild type of inspiration! wow!

[Ashley4339]

Very insightful and yet quite eccentric....

[PotatoeMonkey53]

how much cheeba does this man smoke?

[Malikazz]

Could have just gone in a strait line lol fail

[SwampDaddy7]

@Malikazz Sure, but that wouldn't be Tom Waits' Mojo.

[gpeddino]

Waits is officially my hero forever.

[zachzacha]

"Night constellation"

[chlorr]

so much win. i wish tom waits was my dad.
