Tom Petty Free Falling Super Bowl 2008

[Firefighter5475]

Best Super Bowl performance since U2.

[TheDecbass]

@Firefighter5475 No dude! U2 are awful!

[pothead101928]

@diegoricepogo actualy at the superbowl its was lip singing on that part

[mcsteve9a]

@pothead101928 glad someone has a brain....only a moron would say that he was not lip syncing the chorus

[mcsteve9a]

chorus is lipped

[diegoricepogo]

@mcsteve9a false statement...



[mcsteve9a]

@diegoricepogo wow are you an idiot??? open or clean your ears bro

[diegoricepogo]

@mcsteve9a WOW do you have autism? you must related to helen kellar you can clearly hear the back up singers and him... listen to this with the album playing at the same time and it sounds different. def not a backing track. smh. DOWNERS

[mcsteve9a]

@diegoricepogo hey cocksucker.....he is lip syncing the chorus....you are an idiot if you dont think so....all the other parts he is singing though...take care buddy

[Stubbsishere]

Fun band.

[Rikimyth]

This song is so amazing, i was looking for someone who had recorded a cover of this who was just as good, long search but found someone. If you wanna look go on

officialryantaylor. net. Its such a sick cover, kills every note!

[ov71cat]

Good 1.

[MoralityIsAReligion]

John is always making funny faces when he sings. When I saw I blame Coco she kind of reminded me of John for this reason. LOL

[MrRichardsome1]

is it just me, or does the tempo seem a bit slowed down?

[bereskwolf]

The only good part nout The blak eyed peas halftime....was Slash! Dont hate i love rock! XD

[ThisIsSmok]

I remember this Super Bowl, this was when I got my first Cell phone, and got it out while watching it on TV and did the same thing as everyone else...

[serwet87]

justin bieber

[ThisIsSmok]

@serwet87 Is gay... Tom Petty lives forever!!!!

[noryd]

best superbowl halftime show in a long time...petty fucking rocked the house. 

[ThisIsSmok]

@noryd I liked Tom Petty's Halftime, and The Who's Halftime... Then Black Eyed Peas did one.. It was good, but not as good as Tom's... I wonder if they'll have Metallica do a Halftime show...

[TheNsufan]

thats a good song tom has a very nice voice

[QueenBeatlesWings]

Petty and Lynne wrote it- give em credit for that at least even if u like other versions. This is pretty cool if you ask me though

[usmcshane1]

fuckin right! I was deployed to iraq during this super bowl and watch this video constantly!

[helmsdeep48]

damn he still has his voice

[8ballboy8]

no one can compare to tom petty.. im sick of people comparing this song especially to john mayors version.. petty made this song and plays it damn well and is easily one of the best artists to ever play case closed

[SUPERyoshi95]

John Meyer and Tom Petty are both good, although they may not be on the same level of popularity, they both are talented

[BYUbleedblue12]

Easily my favorite Super Bowl half time show ever!

[skeetskeet85]

Petty's tha shit! He comes 2 Milwaukee every year . . N yes, John Mayer is a faggot

[110JoRdAn110]

this is shit compared to..

[aibangmaini]

So obvious that the vocals in the chorus are piped in, though. You can hear Tom's "Now I'm" not in sync with a suddenly 20 years younger Petty piped through the PA. It's one thing when newer artists who are known for this and also have a huge choreographic show to account for this need to pull this shit, but these guys? It's shameless, and supposed to be everything guys like Petty were against in the first place. But oh well....he got paid.

[x94hoursxx]

@aibangmaini your a fool. listen to American Girl from the half time show. the higher pitched vocals are coming from second rhythm guitar / back up vocals to the right of tom petty. you can hear it clearly in American Girl.

[Chain1234]

Least petty aint a talentless faggot who copies others.

[genesisterminus]

John Mayer has beautiful talents. Music covers aren't meant for competitions. They are meant to show an artists admiration towards another. Im sure John Mayer admires Tom Petty very much. He's a legend. Everyone is so quick to judge, but in reality misery loves company. Ur just jealous that that's not you up there exuding such a talent. dont judge a book by it's cover. Step back and take a look at your own life... learn to become more positive.

[azharazim]

@genesisterminus Well said.

[SheaMouse]

John mayer is a douche. TOM RULES!

[nick1137]

people mock john because he sucks

[classicrock1988]

Tom > John. That goes without saying.

[winshu22]

ahah i was going to right the same thing. but seriously no doubt

[nicaboo7999]

@classicrock1988 In the Opinion of some

[zackclarke]

that was such an awesome halftime show, i blew my load in my pants

[tygur91]

why does everyone hate so much on Mayer? his cover is good. damn. is it such a crime to like a song and cover it in your own style. who cares. its fucking music. if you prefer tom petty, listen to tom petty. dont just bash mayer.

[ActionJaxon519]

@tygur91 u mad?

[zlingle]

greatest song of all time

[hipeoplefromtexas]

John you suck Tom you RULE!

[carlnord]

The live version feat Axl Rose is best

[Hobinator17]

he skipped the whole 2nd verse, 2nd chorus, and the bridge

[MERCE006]

what does he say when he points at like 2:20?

[89Sunbird]

I try to like John Mayer, but I just cant stand his music...its all the same atrocious crap...

[doxielily]

best song ever

[Olllllliiiiiieeeeeee]

not anyone who might see that john meyer made a cover as a tribute or that at least he made this song because he whorships tom petty?why does everyone have to be so black n white bout everything???

[jfreak91]

because people suck, and black and white people are the arrogant people, and are usually the people that no one like

[Wilder8597]

Johns verson sucks so you people can go die but i still say this song kicks@ss!!!!!

[johamud]

no one can perform this song as good as Tom Petty! Everybody else can go **** themselves!:D

[chuckluna]

I like Meyers version but I like Toms more Hell he wrote this song and who do you think of when you hear anyone sing Free Falling hell u think Tom Petty !

[xShU44Le]

@chuckluna i think of tom petty, and how unconstructive it is compared to Mayers*, Petty's voice doesnt go down well with me, this is like Leonard Cohen writing Hallujah, in my mind Jeff Buckleys version will always be better!

[asianibanez]

@xShU44Le sure that may be true, but i think that there's more beauty in petty's simplicity. and as a big tom petty fan, i have to admit that his voice isn't the best, but look at bob dylan, phenomenal songwriter, average singer

[xShU44Le]

@asianibanez Yeah thats a good way to put it, i see it as they were the first people to do it even if it isnt a masterpiece...

[thezmikavt]

yes you will ... johny sucks :D

[itsmesavvy]

i like it but john meyer is better! his cover is amayzing. im probably gonna get hate cmmnts on this but watevr!

[Golleem]

I always liked this song and Tom Petty sings it really well but honestly since I heard John Mayer's version I don't like this song I love it and John's is now my favorite version, but thankyou Tom for writing it =)

[lordproctor0]

i remember this *bow's to Tom Petty*

Also, the best thing about Tom Petty in concerts, is that, he sounds just like he does on his albums, not alot of people can do that.

[subalfie]

I agree with crazy,tom petty is the original one and much better singer then john oscar mayer weiner,end of discussion.

[crazyman30]

this is his best concert of this song...fuckin amazing.. john mayers is not better. how can his be better when he didnt even make it?? dumb ass douche cunt

[OJOJJOJJJ]

John Mayers version is way better sorry

[osiume]

this was a great show for the superbowl, but the worst day of my life. My pats la\ost. Fucken ellis hobbs.

[sexyduck69]

man this song reminds me of every girl i have been with luv this song

[guitarplayer1045]

you have not been with any girl except for hillary clinton you douche.

[sexyduck69]

this song is dedictated about ur mom and how she sucks the balls and the dick oh she is giving me a rim job cant type anymore so good the only girl uve been with is called pamela she leave in the pam of ur hand

[youmancl]

I don't understand how the Jonas brothers sucking has anything to do with this video or any of the other ones you don't like them no one fucking cares!! Tom Pettys awesome though.

[herrikudo]

exactly, how the hell did the jonas brothers thing start anyway? can everyone just drop it please? Jesus. Tom petty rocks!

[lordproctor0]

i think i heard they did a song about something on "Disney Channel" of a show something about a "american dragon jake long" something like that not for sure, they changed the sound of the intro of the show or whatever (what i heard)

P.S. Tom Petty does ROCK!

[purplefanatic2]

I love this song. It's a true classic. No one can beat it! No one!

[cool8709]

oh dude im in the front row. that was a great super bowl. but to top it off tom petty was there

[herrikudo]

tom petty did a great show, this was one of the best half time shows i have ever seen. Great song.

[oliverisawesome]

that thing with the cell phones is so lame. come on people! buy a fucking lighter already, it's only a buck!

[TheNewWorldMan69]

OK America needs to get this though there thick heads Jonas Brother suck fuck they always did and always will. Tom Petty rocks.... Thank You for your time.

[Moparman58]

yeah they do suck but fuck you and your shithole country

[greasykebab]

did you realize your both from the US lol

[OJOJJOJJJ]

hahahahahahahahahahah that one was good ahhahaa

[Vgrossling]

Okay, you can't compare Jonas Brothers to Tom Petty. They don't even belong in the same sentence. and John Mayor, psh, same old same old.

Tom Petty did it first.

[FatGermanBastard]

This song should be the official hymn of the Dow Jones: "I'm freeeeeee....freeeeee falling"

[jerseypeanuts]

Grow up Peter Pan

[acdcgecko]

tom petty rock ass

[MKFoxwell]

joe jonas's cover of this was better than john mayers, that's for sure.

[simplydamann]

lol you are funny. john mayer beats jonas and tom petty, the only thing petty has is "freeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee faalllllllliiiin" everything else, mayer owns petty and jonas bros

[puffball9]

Jonas Bros are a talentless bunch of fagots

[samsonite1101]

These comparisons with the Jonas Brothers are completely ridiculous. The only legitimate comparison that's been made is the John Mayer one. I personally think that the original Tom Petty is great, and I love the John Mayer cover too. Tom and John are both unbelievable musicians and songwriters....the Jonas Brothers? Really people? They're possibly one of the most manufactured and shitty bands out there right now....so lets chill the fuck out and listen to some great music yeah?

[pfaaaa]

Im with you all the way man

[HavenJaede]

Me too

[ThisIsBella]

Search on JOHAN PALM- FREE FALLING. :P

[katibou14]

i like the john mayer version better but this is also gut;)

[ufcfighter1993]

if u like the jonas brothers then go suck a dick there so gay... it should be in with the old out with the new

[ajl23230]

this isn't a fuckin faggot ass jonas brothers song its Tom Petty dont even go around saying shit like the jonas brothers should sing it... People take great bands and demoralize them by comparing them to the jonas brothers.

[tattoosyke]

tom petty .. genius!!!

[daniboyfiesta]

Rox.....

[GoodMusicLyrics]

So good.....

[adamraza824]

john mayor sux wen cumpard with tom petty

[mightnight12]

i like john mayor's version alot better!!!!!!!

[conversejoke]

there should be more music like this it's so relaxing

[skeetskeet85]

Petty! I luv Petty .. fuck John Mayer. Faggot.

[Shooter149]

Rock On Tom Petty!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[CatAndMousee]

I watched this super bowl. he was great.

[guitarplayer1045]

the jonas brothers are not preforming it's bruce springsteen and the e street band dumbasses

[clbby]

wait thee fucking minute....is the jonas brothers singing in halftime in the super bowl game today?if they are i swear to god

[IrishBoy00900]

this song reminds me of the good times in america...the most free country in the world.

[MsJonaholic]

I'm pretty sure the Jonas Brothers can sing a lot better than you can, dumbass.

[Heavydestroyer]

at doing cover songs maybe LOL

[wotmidoin]

i never said i could sing but i know the jonas brothers are flavour of the month for teeny boppers and will be replaced by the next 'manufactured star" soon lol

[MsJonaholic]

They are not only for teeny boppers....I'm fricken 17 and their my favorite band. They've been around for 3 years...and they havn't gone downhill, like Miley Cyrus.

[ACBMGROCK]

i still cant believe the pats lost! fuck you d line

[samerika]

this version should get the props not the Jb because they just did an awful cover of and awesome song.

[TaylorJonasLover]

this is an amazing song. it makes me cry

[evolyam]

do you like the jonas brothers verison?

[TaylorJonasLover]

Yes, but this one is good too. I like the JB version better. They should deffinatly cover it. Don't you?

[evolyam]

yeah its a good song no matter if its jonas, tom, or john mayer singing.

but i think JB should def. put this on CD or sale it on itunes... but the live version.

for sure!!

[893160007]

he didn't ruin it but pettys version is the best

[Skeef27]

sûker bôle?

[illuminol]

john mayer owned the shit outta tom petty and jonas brothers with this.

[agearhar]

John mayer is crap he ruined that song... Tom Petty played it first and the BEST so far...

[illuminol]

lies lies LIEEES! I SHALL NOT HEAR SUCH BLASPHEMY!

[odeiot]

john mayer didnt ruined the song, he sings it beautifuly

[evolyam]

i agree.

[radtasticashley]

i just like all of the covers of this song

john mayers rocked it

jonas brothers rocked it

tom petty rocked it

its a good song, there's no denying that.

dont hate on the jonas brothers or john mayer for covering it. they obviously, just like you, enjoy the song and wanted to pay some respect to tom petty by singing it

[evolyam]

i sooo agreee.

i like tom petty singing it.

but i just like what john mayer did and what the jonas brothers do.. how they go high.

i like it better.

to me it fits.

but this song is still good.

no matter who which one of those 3 peoples sing it.

[radtasticashley]

thank you for finally realizing its about the song rofl not the people who sing it.

they're all talented musicians who like the song.

[Stephen1068302]

just to let u know THE JONA'S BROTHERS SUCK!!!!!!!!!!!!! i can sing better than the mo fo Jona's brothers gay band!!!

[evolyam]

yeah and thats why your sitting here on your computer bashing them.

and they are off making millions.

[ttdowns45]

Bimbirc you fucking tard

tome pettys verison is so much better than either one of thiers.

your a dumbass.

Tom Petty=the shit

[felipel0]

Jonas BItches Sux.

[mcdonalddude11]

i mean that to ctroberts89 comments :P

[BIMBIRIC]

I like being honest and objectively most of the time so my opinion it`s not influenced by the fact that I`m a fan of the jonas brothers. I wanted to listen the original song to decide which version it`s the best and definitely it`s the jonas borthers. the song is very very nice, but the attitude it`s missing when tom petty`s saying "I`m a bad boy". john mayer`s version is also way better than this one in my opinion

[ctroberts89]

Attitude? What the fuck is wrong with you? Tom Petty isn't a poncy, effeminate 'rocker,' like the Jonas bitches. He's an American rebel who has soul and experience. The fact you are daring to compare the 'attitude' of a kid to the badass qualities of Tom Petty shows how deluded you are. Pull the spoon out of your mouth that MTV has been feeding you with and realize good music when you hear it.

[odeiot]

agree

[wotmidoin]

the jonas brothers are another flash in the pan tom petty is a legend

[evolyam]

eeh

not really..

i mean yes tom petty- legendary.

but the jonas brothers aint just a flash in the pan

[f00tballFr34k]

CHUBAKA CHUBAKA CHUBAKA CHUBAKACHUBAKACHUBAKACHUBA CHUBAKACHUBAKA CHUBAKA CHUBAKACHUBAKA CHUBAKA CHUBAKAkakakakakaka CHUBAKA CHU BABABABA BAAAKAAAA...

[x0x0skx0x0]

many people always prefer the original, and i'm one of those people.

but everyone has their opinions.

[tonytouchzz]

lol girls... i dont care u think this joe jonas is sexy or whatever... but u got to say... he sing like chubaka.... LOL... no jk, it horrible

[ctroberts89]

Joe Jonas my ass. John Mayer can kiss Joe Jonas's ass as well. They both suck. They'll never be true American legends like Tom Petty. Total posers.

[mcdonalddude11]

YES!!! At least someones still sane, you are exactly right nothing compares to him. Thank you for that comment. it was awesome

[ssarahhhhx]

joe jonas is soo much better!

[tonytouchzz]

meant to reply to her comment hehe

[statusjonas]

lovvvee this song and joe jonas sang this song veryyyy well to <3

[tonytouchzz]

CHUBAKA CHUBAKA CHUBAKA CHUBAKACHUBAKACHUBAKACHUBA CHUBAKACHUBAKA CHUBAKA CHUBAKACHUBAKA CHUBAKA  CHUBAKAkakakakakaka CHUBAKA CHU BABABABA BAAAKAAAA...

if u listen to this with audio preview... it fuking funny!

[007ishan007]

I prefer Mayer's redention... his acoustics bring out a better emotion from the song!

[bowflexor]

LOL. omg plz i like your sarcasm.

[007ishan007]

I agree that it's not John's song but in my opinion Mayer has done it better than Petty.

That's just my opinion, there are no need of any "Thumbs Down".

[Toriiii4]

I agree. Mayer's cover is better.

[samforsey]

IS he ment to be out of tune?

[Toriiii4]

HAHAHA thats what I thought too...

[Locker344]

tom petty is awesome and was a good member of traveling wilburys

[blkpearl71]

Absolutely Loved IT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[skeetskeet85]

PETTY! I love Petty ..

[guitarist0000]

was the chorus dubbed over ? did tom really sing that?

[Vinnyk25]

i love this song and it is way better than john mayers version

[Johnnyis8]

soft

[CarlosHaloSantana3]

this song rulz tom petty's version is better than john mayor's

[nucleardude11]

always use a ric on this song tom, never a tele

[kookookachu16]

Tom Petty is awesome

John Mayer is a poser

[MarioPerson42]

In my opionion, ths was the best superbowl half time show that I have seen

[scooterkidz123]

I am with youy

[RSJamesBeach]

i like this verison alot etter than John Mayers whos with me?

[Megaman1218]

im with ya!

[shiningknight1955]

Wrong key stroke...

[twister1002]

How exactly would you know? Did you write their song? Have you taken Music Theory? Have you been in music for years and years?

Didn't think so =). So next time leave it to them to alter their own song; if they so choose to. I'm sure a little key mistake (even a chord mistake) isn't going to make the whole song sound like crap. =). It could actually make it sound a whole lot better. Would you mind pointing out the "Key stroke" that was so wrong?

[sama120290]

Are you really that stupid not to realise that he was refering to his previous comment ?

Or did you see the opportunity to try and impose what very little intellect you have onto someone else and indulge in a self satisfying rant ?

[BigZigFallin]

get over it like u could do any better

[shiningknight1955]

Has anyone told you that Superbowl 2008 has not happened yet!!!

[WoistdasFass]

superbowl 2009 hasn't happened yet ;)

[Mrmaniac15765]

idiot!

[dudewattf]

one of the best super bowl halftime shows, like it was calm, but relaxing, u2 after 9/11 was amazing too and made us proud to be americans. but lately wtf has nfl thought? justin timberlake/janet jackson? ok paul mccartney was good, but then prince? PRINCE?!?!? to add insult to injury im a bears fan and PRINCE had to play! god.

[twister1002]

We're sorry you don't get everything you want? lol
