Tom Petty-I Won't Back Down

[ainomoadakine]

Back when being ugly was your God given right! Awesome song!!

[MMDUBB42O]

48 people should kill themselves for disliking this!

[Sutti95]

Noah and the Whale- Waiting for my chance to come and this song do sound so similar

[TonyDanger]

Ridiculously amazing!

[RedEyedSniperGuy]

[Metaphoid]

[TheSolidcreeper]

[burdona1958]

Scott Olsen...another Hero...the 99% WON'T BACK DOWN!

[DOBdeu]

Johny Cash?



[randomguy034]

This song has inspired me to kick this kids ass next time he slaps me "just for shits and giggles"

[MisterPubichair]

great music. great musician. ♥

[CaptainPrad]

To all of you that think he is stoned or whatever in this video, you need to do some research. This was part of a benefit concert which took place like 10 days after 9/11. I'd feel like shit too if 3000 people were just killed in my country no more than two weeks earlier. So to me, he (and the others) look more sad or grief-stricken, more than anything else.

[jpmarks1980]

love barnyard the movie;) bens cover is cool

[ghmasterjj]

i know i'll be laughed at for this but..

BARNYARD THE MOVIE

[20FieryHearts]

Come on people. Can't we just shut up and enjoy the music? It doesn't matter if Tom Petty or Johnny Cash is singing. It's still an amazing song.

[lachola13xx]

Love this song

[HammerSlammer187]

[whitetailassasin97]

[ZeroToNowhere]

[CASOregon]

[tacokitty100]

Tom Petty is the original and the writer

[TenFourMusicGroup]

When MTV was actually showing things worth wile. Better than all those reality shows now that are a bunch of crap!!!!!

[skydiverlodi]

great song!!!!..but i love the cover by Johnny Cash

[alsfonsius]

heck yea.. I miss this oldies goodies this the best and more

[BobTheTechDude]

One of the last real musicians

[DieselProductions11]

42 people are tone deaf!

[TheEDBShow]

i like cashes version a little more  but this is still AWESOME

[coffeycake96]

tom petty sucks. he has such a girly voice. jonny cash has such a throaty voice. rip jc.. and tom petty. i hope u burn

[BeatIesfan]

@coffeycake96 Hmm was that necessary? I love Cash and Petty..and a LOT of other artists. We don't need to compare them, just ENJOY them.

Peace!

[coffeycake96]

@BeatIesfan respect

[ThaWolf24]

@coffeycake96 That was a bit over-reacted don't you think?

[coffeycake96]

@ThaWolf24 haha yeah but i wanted to get the point across

[xXski11sXx]

i prefer the cash version. i remember when i was 9 (im 15 now) i dressed up ass cash for holloween and i was pessed cause only like 6 people guessed who i was

[ThaWolf24]

I like Johnny Cash's version better, this one is awesome too, though

[davidjohn1234567]

@ThaWolf24 u dont prefer the Original, sumin wrong wth u buddy!

[ThaWolf24]

@davidjohn1234567 I just like Cash's voice better and he really got an own twist to this song which I like better than this original version

[MEDs271]

@ThaWolf24 exactly not trying to put this guy down - no pun - but johnny Cash's sounds better

[buffalobraves9]

@MEDs271 You're kidding right??

[MEDs271]

@buffalobraves9 naw man i just like the orginal better this guys good but just not the same

[buffalobraves9]

@MEDs271 Ummm, this is the original, 1989 written completely by TP. Johnny Cash did his way later with the help of Tom Petty because that's what kind of guy Tom Petty is...

[susu3204]

TOM 4EVER

[vincentmack37]

great song but this sounds like shit

[cashyaug]

40 people backed down.

[JOHNSTON116]

40 people heard johnny cash sing this.

[danniewful]

[runlikehell55]

hippies!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!­!

[Kyle9301]

Tom Petty's like Jesus with blonde hair and a guitar :) pretty much like me then ;DD awesome music and brilliant for getting high to :) peace out x

[GLWillaims]

watch, dont fish and drive!

[needleszja]

40 people will back down

[MrHudson1988]

Like both tom and cash version but have a listen to pearl jams version as well, equally as good

[legokid785]

Is Tom still alive???

[needleszja]

@legokid785 HELL YES AND MAY HE LIVE FOREVER!!!

[jcook287]

There is no comparing two greats like Johnny and Tom. It cannot be done no matter how much you argue. They are both enormous treasures of the times.

[rm2racer]

This was back when MTV was good.

[MITCHWILD]

@rm2racer Yeah, watched it a lot back then, not at all now.

[Cosburn101]

@rm2racer dont you miss those days.....

[drillsgtvee]

@rm2racer

As this performance by Tom Petty & the HB was done to benefit the charity fundraiser efforts immediately following 9-11, your comment is irrelevant and erroneous. MTV and many other TV stations broadcast this unique charity event, thus, the fact that MTV aired it had nothing to do with the quality of their content at that time, rather than it being an act of humanitarian service.

[crapman78]

johnny cash is better by far

[zasers1]

dosent sound like tom petty if you listen to this and official video

[KainzoFan]

How could someone dislike this song?

[mitefiend]

The 1:42 mark and afterward could have used a little more umph.

They seem tired or jetlagged.

[Thumper17]

@mitefiend

They're like 60 man. Let them be.

[mitefiend]

Not the best take of this song, the verse is right on, but the chorus feels a bit weak at points. Still a great song.

[PluGGerica]

cash better.

[gamling1111]

tom petty is a certified badass

[LaughinDude28]

yes TOm Petty did wrote this song and Johnny did a cover of this song..but I love Johny Cash version just Like I love guns n roses cover of knocking on heavens door..nothing wrong with the original but they just put a little bit more feeling into it.

[ciggysmoker]

I LOVE THIS SONG!!! IT MAKES ME KEEP MY HEAD UP IN LIFE :) I WONT BACK DOWN!!!!!!!!!!

[minato392]

I want his hair not the facial but the long blonde hair ahh!!!

[pinkfloydmamo]

K I C K ASS!!!!!! WOW WOW WOW!!!!

[yojohnyyo]

Johnny cash's version is much better. He sings it to much like country music

[mcquick69]

@yojohnyyo Johnny cash's covers are always better. My favorite is one by U2

[twst1]

@yojohnyyo too

[viewing3]

@501stAirSoft...

Dumbass...this song was written by Tom Petty and Jeff Lynne of E.L.O.

(some people should really do research or at least know music BEFORE commenting...smh)

[raywagman]

@viewing3 Whats with the attitude vib? you don't have to call people names because they make a simple mistake, Tom Petty would not want you as a fan

[Brono222]

well I prefer version from johnny cash

[aashley210]

tom petty freakin rocks. woot

[1046murrcal]

Good song

[TheSheep187]

lol hes chopped as shit

[nadasafari]

a shame to use tom petty´s name for this!

i am so sad about the usa,,,

[HalalKafir]

@nadasafari Yeah, what a horrible use of Tom's talents taking a stand against Fascislamist assholes who would love nothing more than to drag the whole world back to the 7th Century. Kindly go fuck yourself.

[48snowbird]

love this sweet guy

[mattyswift]

Someone shoulda told tom he doesnt have to live like a refugee :-P

[realcreve]

My life is currently a roller coaster ride of stress, drama, and bullsh*t... but I WON'T BACK DOWN. Thanks for your inspiration, Tom. =]

[hornstra1]

Petty never backs down. Norris does.

[KozanTheDarkainian]

@hornstra1 don't diss Chuck asshole

[xrockangelx]

I'm totally digging that beard..

[utah321]

@xrockangelx kinda what I think taylor hawkins will look like behind the kit in bout 25 yrs

[itchykami]

@xrockangelx me too, it hides his face.

[parker12345543211]

@xrockangelx ikr

[mushroomherbs]

@xrockangelx , when I have long hair i have the same hair naturally, but ya that beard makes mine look lame lol

[Walksbythewaters]

I dont believe that Tom would think this stuff in his home town is cool,dont burn people stuff,Peace

[frisko129]

hes singing so lol, he wont back down and your in trouble (too much of a good think)

[capnd1997]

johnny cash sings alot better

[JizzVegas]

Tom Petty is a Godd...a God who is absolutely stoned out his box =D

[MrEmuexport]

mike campbell - one of the most underrated guitarists ever

[501stAirsoft]

of course it's great........Johnny cash wrote it.

[avalanche827]

@501stAirsoft Sorry to inform you but Tom Petty wrote both the lyrics and the music. He and the Heartbreakers backed Johnny Cash on the record that Cash one all the awards for. Tom Petty has stated that after hearing Cash sing this song that he thought it was a perfect fit for him (Cash) and stated he liked Cash's version more than his own origianl version.

[poetofending]

@dummdansfrancis The network died. They should be forced to rename their network: Shitty Faked Reality Television.

[dejiita]

got to love that john lennon ricky that tom is playing

[trebletwo2]

Tom I luv ya Man you rule ive been yellpin for use fo ever dude like a damn dawg on mary jane

[erlygibson]

whios that guitarist play that solo?!!? he is like never hold or play guitar the first time..my dog can play better solo than that homo

[jayman9844]

ok why are ppl saying this dude made this song??? well a long life legend johny cash made this and his version is WAY BETTER than this

[epiphoney2]

@jayman9844 It was written by Petty and Jeff Lynn, Cash just covered it. He may have done a good job, but Petty made it a hit long before Johnny took a crack at it.

[mchammatime]

j cash'es version of this is way better than this old guy who sounds like a lil girl

[badlizard2]

i liked the barnyard version beter

[dancermikmac]

omg i love tom petty!!

[dramaclaire]

@dancermikmac ooooo ya!!!!

[onlyjoetee]

[samusbionicle]

[501stAirsoft]

@samusbionicle yea and johnny cash gave him the lyrics

[robbie50001]

[JimHolland8]

I won't back down until you watch 3 or more of my videos.

[jusbow567]

the only person i would see live

[trouxthful]

I know just how you feel, Tom.

[NoelleNabob]

Sounds great!

[theINT3RLUDZ]

Damn he's had the guitar FOREVER. lol

[purplepink01]

I dont think some people realize how old he is....and to still be doing world wide tours, plus the drugs didnt really help him...he is still amazing!! I love him =)

[cravingstyle]

tom rocks

[urkhai666]

1:07- 1:16 is so funny!!

[STROODLE18]

jonny cash sings better than this fagget that sounds like a bitch

[MsVylette]

awesome!!!

[17crazyeyes]

A very authentic performance!

[deca241]

I like when the "hey baby" part is in a higher key but this is just as good. legendary :)

[FlashDance002]

One of my fav songs, great beat and wonderful lyrics!!!!!Was the theme for my senor retreat in High school

[danielmatatodo]

naa pode, mira el tiempo loco, recien encontre -( you are lucky )... ahora puse este y mira como estan locooooo !!!!

[nibblebaby]

I have been looking for this version for the past 9 years! Thanks finally I have found it.... It is almost like he is staring at ol Bin himself as he says I won't back down!

[EmHenn11]

I specifically look for this version of it, because I think the chorus of "Hey baby..." sounds better in a lower key.

[kennyscotten]

I love this particular performance, their vibe is so professional here

[EverydayLife567]

Look, it's Jesus!

[BabylonFading2012]

In my mind this song refers to the daily fight that goes on everyday to be free and independant. The war is not limited to the battle fields, but to life itself. Peace and love.

[daaf63]

This is the song for anyone who fought for there freedom! nuff said!

[nickatnoon61]

@daaf63 How long have you been RETARDED...HUH???

[lisagayle331]

slow train

[meggiemegmeimei]

Johnny never did anything weak.

[themasterofallall]

jonny cash sings this better but tom is good to

[Frysian1972]

I agree with alchemycritic this is Pettie's song.

JC's version just does not cut it for me.

[sportsbettingman]

Sing this before every ball game or etc...and you'll have a true force country!

[dageraw2000]

excelente uno de los mejores

[kaos10000]

good

[zvooker]

911

[Kimgrisse]

Fucking Pain... Oil or no oil, USA send a message to all crazy fuckers in the world with the war against terror... The message is : if you FUCK with USA, you´ve got trouble coming !!! And thats the only way to deal with terror... To fight back and kick ass...

[Rungun5]

Fucking Pain, a question, Which is the most in tune and right thinking country on earth?

[FuckingPain]

You americans are such a dickheads...

You still believe that 9/11was a taliban strike?

LOL.

And then you used that context to make a war?

LOL.

For what?Oil?

LOL.

The dumbest country on earth.

[mogbasterd]

it is you my friend who is the idiot,conspiracy?

snigger*

[rsafaye]

and you know everything of course, empty conspiracy theories above all

[SCrusader]

Wait... I get what this is... You're just sad because nobody loves you.

[qerrtre]

you guys dont like us? then how about we stop being the enforcing arm of the UN?

[nubbie1944]

Um we didn't have bases in afghanistan or iraq before the invasion.

[ZyklonBZionistcure]

@nubbie1944 We had alot of troops in the Gulf, most of the invasion force into Iraq was already stationed in Kuwait and Saudi before 9/11.

[CCRockit]

You really are stupid

the real reason for the fucking Afghan and Iraq wars is because damn US Military and Goverment were screwing with them I love my American Brothers and Sister but i think our Goverment and Army are full of Corrupt Self Serving Individuals (*Cough, cough* Obama)

the reason this war started was they had a problem with US officials and took it out on American people THATS why Toby Keith wrote Courtesty of Red White and Blue and thats why this war started

and thats a fact

[Kindlegolas]

are you blaming toby keith for the war in Iraq? Secondly the war started cause they fucked with us first...You mess with AMERICA and you get a boot in the ass

[CCRockit]

@Kindlegolas

No you miss read it

what i meant was Toby Keith wrote Courtesy of the Red White and Blue Which by the way is my most favorite song next to I wont Back down by old Tom Petty

I agree put a boot and a bomb in they're ass.

[ZyklonBZionistcure]

@Kindlegolas Saddam and Iraq didnt have anything to do with 911, neither did the majority of the population of Afghanistan. The Iraq war was Bush jnrs personal vendetta, passed down from his father, it served the interest of oil conglomerates, neo cons, and israel lobbyists, nothing to do with freedom or the American people, except perhaps your bloodlust.

[abear902]

@ZyklonBZionistcure do you honestly believe that? do you honestly believe the american people would go to war simply because Bush had a "personal vendetta". Haha passed down from his father! I wont even bother argueing that retarded staement. Also Saddam and Iraq are invloved in 911 because they support the people that caused it.

[ZyklonBZionistcure]

@abear902 where is the evidence of that? Saddam was a secularist who killed and tortured groups like al qaeda, only after the invasion did AQ enter Iraq, Bush and his daddy both have the same business contacts and they both wanted to get them oil contracts and they did, not to mention Cheney and Halliburton, dont be so naive and educate yourself

[ZyklonBZionistcure]

@abear902 iraq was Israels war, 9/11 was pulled off by Mossad

[jusm11]

The sad thing is that the barnyard version sang by the cow sounds better

[derryeagles10]

agreed

[goldrabbit3]

@jusm11 LOL i agree

[38RS]

i loved this because other people were like 'oh they bombed us but hey that's ok!' but he was like...no. He was kind of standing up for the country. not that anyone WASN"T, but still

[zerosaga6xxxx]

i like johnny cash's version better

[brb224]

cool

[DevasionRecords]

anyone know where i can find the tribute videos for 9/11?

[lokegabriel]

wow...this was crappy... cash version ten million times better
