Warren Zevon Lawyers, Guns and Money

[playerinlife]

never take vacations...sound advice.

[NumbAsAStatue27]

Happy birthday to the exciteable boy! You were the best Warren

[eklera]

I rocked out to his music in the 90s. I hope you're rockin out with the Big Man upstairs Warren.

[SOUNDCHASERX]

My dad and Warren were good friends...r.i.p.to both of them

[sdgullsfan]

[koala8021]

[wteuscher85]

52 Russian Waitress'

[kwcampbe]

Allways loved this one. Got to see him in Atlanta twitc. Once, with a band and once, as a solo with his piano and guitars........ He was truely engaging and one HELL of a performer. He was also one hell fo a writer, starting with the Everly Brothers.

[G8GT364CI]

@kwcampbe He wrote for The Turtles and himself (lyme and cybelle) way before he joined the Everly bros.

[NORSKize]

Always loved this one.

[musique897]

I love you Warren and miss you much.

[vitalsfading]

he needed some reverb on that mic

[7shadesofsunday]

dude, u kept me sane.

[celty234]

i miss you warren

[Rockinrollinman625]

Improbable & grotesque mischief...classic

[jess5111]

his voice is so deep, mysterious and downright sexy!

[ppcproductions1]

Great Zevon... Send Lawyers, Guns, and Money, The Shit has hit the fan!!!

[AyeJay99]

The way he mimics Hunters manor of speaking is shameless.

[mdelair420]

CLASSIC WARREN..GOT TO LOVE IT..

[aryzner]

This is the best introduction story to a song that I have ever heard.

[boogiebabe67]

52 people need a shooter ...

[MidgetMelon]

52 people were too excitable.

[MidgetMelon]

Grotesque Mischief. Learn from this, kids.

[C130spectre]

52 people do not like lawyers.

[enlightenedDiamond]

Seriously, WZ is the BEST! I DON'T CARE IF YOU DON'T GET IT. (We who get it look on you with something akin to pity)

[houtexflex]

I like the static at 51 seconds where someone STOPed and PLAYed their VHS over and over again.

[skip326]

Amazing!!!!!

[75Chainsaw]

NOBODY tells a story like Warren Zevon. He is the true lyrical Jesse James

[JustAintthatWay]

of course i guess you have to go with werewolves if

you had to pick a 'greatest' zevon but ...but ... but ...

lawyers is cooler

'specially for us (not so) innocent bystanders

[malorl]

I wish i was able to meet him before he passed away. Was only 9 when he died.

[Smackdaddy9]

I remember calling my mom collect. 'Hey Mom, I need a plane ticket!, She asked l 'Where are you and where do you need to go?' She's dead now and I sure miss her and that magic phone number.

[Lunchbox37]

There will never be another. You're my hero. I love you man, you are sorely missed.

[WiscoArcher]

RIP Warren, you had a voice that can't be replicated and talent to boot.

[TheShalasweet]

Truly an american master. Tired cliche I know, but the recording artists of the 70's were amazingly talented. Just look at what passes for popular music today; even many people of this current generation dig the music from several decades ago--including tracks from the dearly missed M. Zevon.

[BettorOffSingle]

@TheShalasweet You get what you pay for. Blame the music pirates for taking all the money out of the industry. Used to be that labels made so much money off their popular acts that they would fund artists like this, give them time to build an audience, etc. The software crap has also made looks more important.

[MaciusTadas]

fantastic performance



[WTFxSAUCE]

Such a gnarly raw talent

[bobm549]

A Warren Zevon comes around in every generation, a few of the 99%'rs hear them and then it is a long wate for the next. What an incredible talent and hidden jewel, there if you are looking. Thank Dave Letterman for his ulegy. Thank you Warren for the high, and the goodby. Just listening ......

[Theburn77]

This.

[motownmaniax]

Huge Zevon fan here; just a great writer. Miss him forever.

[skip326]

Sick

[BowmanAndAssoc]

Great song, and great advice for foreign travel.

[RabbiRizzle]

Fucking hell - how great is that?

[mullinzmania79]

God rest your soul warren you were a great artist and your music will live on for generations what a nice guy you were

[TheNovacaine75]

wish i was there in person instead of being behind this comp screen to give him a standing ovation!

[janozek1]

Just like my life´s story. Nowadays gona be like a normal. Never had lawyers, but I had guns drugs and money.SFW.

[351xbgt]

Can some one post a link to the studio version ? , love this song :)

[Hornadayfan]

There was only one Warren Zevon. And that is the way it should be...

[glorianoir21]

I don't know why this song means so much to me, but it does. Thanks Zevon.

[iamthedarkavenger]

This man is the truth, sometimes beautiful, sometimes fucked up, but its always the truth. A genius. RIP.

[agentpissant42]

47 people are incapable of enjoying every sandwich.

[d1sailer51]

@agentpissant42 its up to 52 now....feel sorry for them, as they are musicallly retarded

[NiceHitTorres]

@d1sailer51 good work bro.. thx for the update, very helpful... really though? Couldn't find a better word than retard to express yourself?? No Hate Son..

[jimincairns]

The shit has hit the fan for 47 losers.

[tcdarden13]

All hate and haters can be dismissed at the drop of a hat. Don't let the haters get you down. Just realize the songs yu love are just the way u luv em. And if sme imbeciles wanna log on just to complain, realize it's nothing personal. Some ppl just like to complain about everything and anything.

};-{)>

[boogiebabe67]

Vacation or not ... Warren ingested huge quantities of alcohol and drugs until he got clean and sober in 1987.

[sandyman1960]

saw him in cork in the late 8os

[Bigheadcleve]

Miss u Warren:(!!

[cambridgeratmom]

warren, we miss you.

[spudmacdaddy68]

zevon was awsome

[gman100]

dedicated to Wall Street, say your prayers wabbits, hell hath no fury as a world scorned!

[BT44B]

I am glad that I can appreciate fine songwriting such as this whilst imagining the improbable and grotesque mischief behind it.

[psychedelicsam1]

musical genius. rock on warren

[djeppe46]

Pitty, He is no longer among us, He was just great and his songs will stay great forever!!!

[clockwerk83]

[123rcac]

o the shit has hit the fan. what do we do now?

[beavercontrol]

43 Shit Heads hit the fan.

[RatDog67]

I love Zevon

[munchkin432]

43 people are lawyers with too many guns and too much money

[SeamusmcDoober]

Sheer Genius,RIP bruddah,toke on

[GunBigotHater]

I tried to like this, but it won't let me. I love this song, but is sounds better with accompaniment. He was a very talented man.

[penguin1950]

This is the theme song of Wall Street (the financial industry, not the movie)

[nobleblier]

Y U NO LIKE

[dogdefran]

Send lawyers,guns& money!

[HavinSumKindaFun]

R.I.P. big LUV 4evr! eternal rock! :)

[icmajik]

Sure miss you Warren.

[TravellinMan94]

Lost him 8 years ago today. RIP Warren

[SoCalChunkybutt]

rip wARREN!

[dogbreathjesus]

Sacred.

[GazzaRover]

"Well, I went home with the waitress

The way I always do

How was I to know

She was with the Russians, too"

Classic Zevon.

[HEMIChopper69]

Thanks Warren, for all of the hard work put into your truly, honest, real, and surreal music. God- Bless. R.I.P. If you see Debbie Brewster, tell her I Love Her, and Miss Her, and My Offer still Stands. Love, You. XOXoxoxo HEMI-Joe

[1jetdrvr]

A song very accurately depicting life in South Florida, the Caribbean and Latin America during the incredible 70's! It was a great time to be alive!

[aarontbradley1]

you gotta wonder what really happened on that vaction

[judylls22]

@aarontbradley1 read the book ill sleep when im dead, you will find out.

[NiXPredator]

@aarontbradley1 The book by Crystal Z. says that Warren and a friend of his were planning to have a threesome with a local waitress up somewhere in a mountain cabin. They however decided to blow it once they found out the cabin didn't belong to the woman and had to be broken into.

That version always came off to me as a reduced, sugarcoated version of what really happened though.

In case you haven't read the book yet I highly, highly recommend it. One of the most interesting ones I ever read.

[Smackdaddy9]

@aarontbradley1 No, you don't.

[1DesertPirate]

Only a fool would log onto YouTube and waste their time by saying they dislike a song? Along with a few other suggestions, one might be for them to go find, listen, and comment on a song they like to hear! The cliche might be to get a life! The good news is there are only 42 such fools. By the way, this is a GREAT song. Thank you Warren.

[AngusShanks]

@1DesertPirate You've never been tempted to find a Nickelback song and comment on how awful it is? I have been tempted but I fear the arguing could go on for days. THIS is the antithesis of that. Fucking great tune.

[zacharykelway]

@AngusShanks THANK YOU. Nickelback....wine and cry for 5 min to rock music. Thats the recipe to every song. Thought I was the only one who knew.

[AngusShanks]

@zacharykelway

Nope, many of us know. You did err when you called it rock 'music' though. It ain't music brother.

[357daedalus]

@1DesertPirate it is a great song. puts a smile on my face every time. especially with my back ground. nothing serious. just getting pulled over half way across nebraska for no helmet thinkin now what do i do and how the hell do i get myself into this crap. jus keep on smiling

[bptaylor11]

@1DesertPirate In a world full of Justin Bieber fans, do we really care if some people don't like a song?

[edwdixon5]

@1DesertPirate Cunts exist. Always will.

[thunderbird948]

what a great song and a great american

[irit8in]

42 people didn't qualify for a gun, missed the moneygram, and couldn't afford the retainer

[GazzaRover]

@irit8in awsome! :D

[meoddball]

Now it's 42 brain dead idiots!

[john9944]

That could easily be one of the great solo performances in history. What a massive talent he was. Little known fact: He played in a garage style band with Steven King and humorist Dave Barry. Boy I bet that was fun and funny.

[zackisback4]

I have had half a dozen comments sent to me about people missing concerts and how people regret not making the effort and so in response I thought I would respond by saying it gets worse. I missed an AC DC concert which was only a 15 minute walk from my house in Hobart - The day before I had been jogging past the oval where they were to perfom and saw them setting up!!!! LIFE IS TOO SHORT to be lazey - a lesson I have learnt

[aprilglaspieable]

The intro is almost as good as the song, which is ridiculously brilliant.

[Skwerrlly]

@CaptainChernobyl,I guess that you would have to be a Believer to understand my post.

[HEMIChopper69]

We miss you Warren, Yes,, You Will Sleep When You Are Dead ! HEMI

[Skwerrlly]

Nice version,Warren is a unique soul,and I'm sure he's listening to all the crap being produced nowadays and is wincing

[CaptainChernobyl]

@Skwerrlly he died

[cliptwingz]

Ewes want the war on terror!

[rocksion]

R.I.P Warren. This is music!!!!



[zackisback4]

I had a chance to see th great man in concert in Hobart , Tasmania in Salamnca in an old converted warehouse on the wharf and I did not go - I regret that alot a real lot

[bradbennett67]

@zackisback4 yo. how did you miss THAT? sorry. sounds like it would have been amazing.

[ostifari]

@zackisback4 Your comment inspired me to go see Paul McCartney at Wrigley field last night. I said to myself last week; 'Years from now, I'll seriously regret not going." Came to check out some Widespread Panic originals, saw your comment, $110 later I was singing Hey Jude with Sir Paul himself. Thank you...!

[lifevorce]

Spoken like a true 'groupie'.........

[1badlr4]

Lawyers, Guns, and Money... Unfortunate combination, great song!! Trade the Beiber for Zevon back???? Brilliant man died before his time...

[Electrode46]

"Improbable and grotesque mischief." Makes me smile to think about it. Been there, done that.

[themasterkaster]

Imagine if he took vacations...

[simonprohax]

fucking gorgeous guitar

[vtxphantom]

The shit has hit the fan

[raistallica]

@mastasheo mr bad example is great. Also I'm a big bad luck streak in dancing school fan.

[SmokesAlotOFnuggets]

your such a faggot

[mastasheo]

Can someone please help me! I'm just a 15 year-old boy and I fell in love with Warren. Money doesn't come easy to me but I got some the other day and I would like to buy a new Zevon album but I don't know which one. I have life'll kill ya, the wind, excitable boy (of course), a quiet normal life, and Warren Zevon. I'm thinking of buying Mr. Bad Example. Should I? Or should I get another?

[Kefkadet]

@mastasheo why buy when you can download or browse youtube? try searching for a heart, suzie lightning, and the indifference of heaven. but as far as albums go i would get either mr bad example or learning to flinch.

[bobreed333]

@mastasheo buy them all

[JonathanJakarta]

Send Lawyers, guns, and money to Philadelphia! You Rock Zevon! R.I.P.

[jwingnut1]

One of a kind.  Every song tells a story.

[dannystraight]

me neither

[StasoNfromMoscow]

He reminds me Shevchuk Yuri.

[oldgirl6]

@enlightenedDiamond  It was a joke!! Of course Zevon isn't God.....George Burns is!

[enlightenedDiamond]

You know I can even listen to his 'Hits' now without cringing

[Tom5578]

Hail, the master. Brilliant, complicated, black hat, teacher man. Did I say masterful?

[Tom5578]

Hail, the master.

[dawgie102]

May Warren Zevon REST IN PEACE..!

[libsstink100]

@dawgie102 ..WHEN DID HE PASS?

[freewheelinQ]

40 people are exactly what hit the fan!!!

[sm0kindatg00d]

everyone prays to warren zevon,they just dont know it

[AdvExplor]

anyone else learned of Warren Zevon from Californication?

[brentenireland]

@AdvExplor no

[oldgirl6]

Zevon stood on his own merit! 

[oldgirl6]

When Zevon got to heaven he said to God..."you are in my seat."

[Cows2Luv]

@oldgirl6 And the world didn't end because Zevon refused to let the rapture begin.

[enlightenedDiamond]

@oldgirl6 No, I'm not a believer in any of the faiths but you can't say that about a deity... He might sit by the side but he was no God - Hell I've claimed on here of his right to fame for the beauty of his poetry but that does not make him God. Just a wonderful inspired man.

[45678667]

"I never take vacations. Or stand in front of fans!".

[aranksentimentalist]

40 people are with the Russians too.

[junx1488]

I uploaded the studio version because i couldnt find one. you can find it here youtube.com/watch?v=Chijdnu-qL­8

[MultiParasite]

40 people didn't like this video.

[searcherboy]

Somewhere a village is missing the 40 drooling, brain-dead idiots who dislike this song.

[jimmyb227]

@searcherboy - lmao! So very true!

[angryman9]

@searcherboy

Absolutely.

Brain dead is right.

I was lucky enough to see Warren on his final tour of the UK in 2000.

Awesome.

[killalot4]

[MADxMONK3Y]

All you need is some weed, whiskey and Warren Zevon..

[DontApollogize]

@MADxMONK3Y And some Californication!

[MADxMONK3Y]

@DontApollogize Damn right! It's the fucking truth. My shit's fucked up. No gf anymore. No one who cares for me anymore. No sweet talking, hugging and sweat taking. I can only cure this sick chapter with some Zevon, Cash, Stones and a damn good show called Californication.

[DontApollogize]

@MADxMONK3Y Good luck with that shit, hope things work out better in the future.

[grungekilledglam]

If you have enough guns and money you don't need a lawyer.

[maddog0710]

@TravellinMan94

No mate, more guns and money you the more lawyers you need. Of course if you are warlord in Africa then yeah you don't.

[johnnacalverase01]

Love Zevon!
