I'm a massive fan of music in general. I can listen to anything from dubstep through emo, country through soul, whatever. My favourite style for about 8 years has been death metal and grindcore. Until I discovered Tom Waits. He is a fucking genius.
@S4NDYisNOTavailable He gargles more poop than a toilet ever would. Now that were on the subject of shit, if you're having a shit day, flush all those bad feelings down with a masterpiece of a Waits song. Basically he throws a fit so we don't have to!
P.s I would recommend that everyone buys at least one of his albums if you enjoyed this, I have Swordfishtrombones, Nighthawks at the Diner, Blue Valentine, Small Change and Rain Dogs. Have loved them since childhood and always will! P.s. @i3i2ian I was definitely not f**ed up as a small child when I first heard and loved his music I promise you!
People praise tom waits in a sort of self-congratulatory way, like they're saying "I listen to tom waits and consequently, I'm cool". And you know what, they're not wrong. He's got enough to go around.
@i3i2ian Never been fucked up once in my life, and I think Tom's a genius. And really, it's not fair to make an opinion based on just one video. Check out some others from him. If his weirder stuff doesn't tickle your fancy, check out his pre-"Swordfishtrombones" releases. A lot easier to get into, but it's just as good.
@i3i2ian Look no-one can dictate your taste in music and that is fair and right and as it should be. So Tom Waits doesn't do it for you, that's fine. No reason then to start slagging off other people with differing tastes to yours. We just have different taste in music to yours. It's no biggie! I don't like Katy Perry but that doesn't mean I would go and post rude comments about her fans on one of her videos. No trolling please. If you can't say anything nice don't say anything at all. :-)
i just think they're missing one instrument. A FUCKING MARIMBA! it sounded sweet in the album version, and i bet it would sound twice as good live. fantastic performance nonetheless
sadly there is no dvd...but you can download a good version of a digitalized video on utorrent. It's called "big time" . For the life of me I cannot understand why this was never released on dvd, while many people regard this as one of his best preformances...
I'm an artist and art prof. When I start work in the studio I always begin with a Tom Waits song. He sets the mood for my work. His art is the soundtrack of my life and my art.
I saw Tom on the Raindogs tour in New York. Hardly remember it, any more. I remember I bought an illegal T-shirt with his picture on it, but it fell apart in less than a year.
i saw this vid whit a friend of mine the other day, he started to bitch about the video quality, saying the quality is low and a lot of bullshit ...man, i wouldn't ever ever change nothing on this video, this is pure magic, this music and interpretation comes from the hearth and if dont feel it right there, you cant expect to feel it on HD... douche bag

I see all ego and no substance with this guy. Don't say I didn't give him a chance. Because I did. Several songs. Several videos. Read about him for hours. No more. Been experimenting with him. Giving him a try. I'm done. I think he sucks.
Tom Waits is the soundtrack of fools, misfits and misunderstood in the world. I identify completely with his music.
Every time I hear the music I imagine a guy in his late-night walking down the street with little light, a bottle of bourbon in hand, alone, beaten, staggering, drunk, after a most frustrating night.
