Tom Waits fumblin with the blues

[Quazzar32]

I am 16, and I just discovered tom waits. I feel like these past 16 years have been meaningless now

[altrock17]

I didn't know his voice was capable of getting this clear!?!? 0_0

[bobbycoldshot]

Saw Him Live at the Coach House Right after he came out with this Album, Great show only seated about 100 People. Stage props were his Piano, a Lamp post and a Hooker!

[MrParcivous]

4 people aren't fumblin' with the blues

[FavoriteTunes2009]

@MrParcivous Yeah. what's with that??

[ActionMcKickass]

@AndrehFelipe P.s. I'm 12 and I want attention. Fixed it for you.

[nj1232plane]

two dead ends......and you still gotta choose

[RocknRollBlack]

I just heard the tune of my life.

[osing4me]

you are the one Tom.

[cheechwizrd]

when they hit the instrumental bridge, it just makes my face pucker up! ya just don't get better than this!

[danielodyssey]

Has anyone ever taken a bad photo of Tom Waits? The Most photogenic person in the world.

[hentaimaid]

@danielodyssey unless its the press .... those people always catch people off guard

[afterglow80]

I still can't believe this is Tom Waits. Such a young voice

[haviskam]

This man is GOD..

[FavoriteTunes2009]

@haviskam

Nope. God is God. but this man was definately smiled upon by God. :-)

[Hero0fSilence]

@FavoriteTunes2009 Tautology isnt a refuting axiom, kid...

[FavoriteTunes2009]

@Hero0fSilence can't argue with the fact that the man is a genious.

[Hero0fSilence]

@FavoriteTunes2009 We dont even have to touch the music topic to look at your "Nope, god is god" in a logical way, dont we? But genius? If Tom Waits is a genius then I dont know what Strauss and Mahler were. Just sayin....

[FavoriteTunes2009]

@Hero0fSilence Geniuses also. Never said Waits had the monopoly on being a genius. Comparing Waits with Strauss and Mahler is like comparing apples and oranges. They all taste real good and i love them both but they are different.

[Hero0fSilence]

@FavoriteTunes2009 Apples and oranges arent constructs, but are structurally similar, in the plant function, the seeds, watering, etc. I dont see how that is an axiomatic analogy. but anyways, there must be a criteria to establish someone as "genius", otherwise I can call britney spears or any musician genius, because they are pineapples or any fruit. If you ask me, Waits does nothing with form, modulation, counterpoint. And his phrases are short, like a "chorus"...

[FavoriteTunes2009]

@Hero0fSilence Boooo Booooo Boooo

(Me Booing you)

[Hero0fSilence]

@FavoriteTunes2009 I say lady gaga is a genius, and you cant say she isnt better than tom waits or beethoven because she is a kiwi fruit, muahahaha

[FavoriteTunes2009]

@Hero0fSilence lady gaga??!! genius??!! oh, man! You're just looking for an argument!

Well, you're in the wrong place! you want room 12A, Just along the corridor

[Hero0fSilence]

@FavoriteTunes2009 ÿoure just looking for an argument", lol, you barely reallized it, and therefor see it as a bad thing. yes, its a perfect argument, if we cant compare two musicians then we can call any musician a genius on its own terms....

[RocketMcGrane]

Christ he sounds just like Dr. John!

[donnadw]

I wish I could "like" this a thousand times. Thanks for all wonderful photos accompanying this video.

[Tyler2004durden]

Friday left me fumbling with the blues...

You couldn't be more right, Tom.

[Phantomsbreath]

I just wrote my first blues to this tune. Same tune. Different words. Don't sue me, Waits.!

[gablen23]

and it's hard to win when you always lose

[shepshepshep]

'You know your perfume

Well it won't let me be'

Classic....

[hamslap]

2 dead ends and you still got to choose (love it!)

[seikajigoku]

i love where the fotos came from... hahahaha

[33raceway]

One of Tom Waits better tunes, at least to my taste. He has some quirky song titles like (16 Shells from a 30.06 & Christmas Card from a Hooker in Minneapolis) ha ha His real "growlers" aren't my favorites, but I would jump at the chance to see him live. My sister in Florida really likes this guy a lot.

[FavoriteTunes2009]

@disalitervisum LOL!

"The computer has been drinking"

[Phantasterie]

@disalitervisum

You sound like me. Rum seldom hurts and sometimes i think the whole world has been drinking not me.

[icec0rpse]

Fantasticles!!

[33raceway]

@icec0rpse Fantasticles? Sacre' Bleu.........Good one icecorpse!

[poolehart]

I'm still fairly new to Tom Waits' music, and when I first played this album I thought it was a different singer. He's a vocal chamelion.

Very pleased I finally discovered him, the rest of my music seems a bit boring by comparison. Thanx 4 postin.

[DiamondSoul]

Right on, my favorite Tom Waits song. Thank you.

[biffermas]

Excellent compilation of photos! One of the greatest songs ever written.

[swordfishtrombone82]
