[grita34]

[niclasbelrra]

W-O-N-D-E-R-F-U-L

[iveTTor]

ahhh this song, how it calms the savage beast

[SomethingReal1119]

Love that Rickenbacker!!

[HalfRaccoonScientist]

Who else this sounds like Tristan from the YU-GI-OH abridged series...?

[MikeOnca]

I'm Mexican and i love Tom Petty songs =P because i love the good music

[TheonlyFlamesfan99]

omg this song is pretty good but he is gay!!!

[thebiggestqueenfan]

@TheonlyFlamesfan99 ??? what makes you think that?

[SomethingReal1119]

@TheonlyFlamesfan99 Different era, my little one. Everything changes in the world of pop culture. I'm sure one day, your children will look at the musicians you idolized in your youth and proclaim, "Eeeew, they're so GAY!" lol Peace.... ^_~

[12sec5ltr]

@TheonlyFlamesfan99 Tom Petty is a legend man.  When all your rappers and pop rockers are long gone he'll still be strumming his guitar and belting out tunes.

[mattygiggy]

Tom Petty Sei Un Grande!!!!!!!!!

[presstrigga]

Im waiting for weed listening to this =(

[Rockstardam]

It would be awesome if Tom opened his European shows with this song! We've been waiting for so long and it is such a fantastic song!

[3408175]

[68roku]

Mike Campbell is one of the greatest!

[andreww1212]

My theme song after every semester when I wait for my grades. The waiting in the hardest part!

[zachwingler]

I thought Tom Petty sucked till "I took An arrow to the knee"

[donyboi]

[NJfirerescue70]

Stupid Flanders!!! LOL

[tedGEGI]

Hard to believe this song is 30 years old----thank you,Tom.

[Lisalikesclassic]

Funny how videos were more creative back then than they are now. You think they would get more advanced.

[Lisalikesclassic]

Tom Petty is fucking phenomenal.

[Rao665]

I was waiting to comment with a simpson reference then noticed I was too late. then I was going to comment with a "arrow, knee" joke...and noticed I was still late.

[PompousKitteh]

Waiting was the hardest part... then I took an arrow to the knee.

[nyzmikey]

Amazing voice.

[dampkamel]

Listening to this song while waiting for early access to SWTOR ^^

[qualcoso]

@dampkamel Hah, I was just thinking that!

[permian26]

my heart is in love with him<3 

[permian26]

@lasoogneypubes  You are blind!

[tedGEGI]

This was the perfect song for watching the eventual total eclipse of the moon----"the waiting is the hardest part".

[chrisNimblett1]

Tom Petty is the man and he still rocks!!!

[thedork27]

Tom Petty Is One HOT DUDE<3

<3

[KevinOrrell]

[ResearchInMotion9000]

[LbkTXhellhound]

Tom Petty is a good looking guy. and a fucking legend at the least

[shakenbaken1493]

2:20 I bet he liked that guitar too much.

[lasoogneypubes]

Man Tom Petty is an ugly guy.

[SuperDuperTails]

@lasoogneypubes I think he's sort of attractive :P

[szmty]

If you click between the video and the Like button, you'll will be sooo screwed...

[fvillalo23]

Friend: Dude play some good party music.

Friend: What is this? This isnt for partying.

Me: IDGAF! Tom Petty is the shit!

[TkrB]

[gudio34]

[80sfanforthewin]

THIS is the reason for my username

[bradleynail]

scarborough carpark and a-lowjob.what better way to remember a song

[eli9877]

awesome song

[billc307]

My favorite Petty song of all time. Reminds me of my Navy days in Norfolk Va hanging out at KINGS HEAD INN that was across the street from Old Dominion University.

[Shadow78954]

skyrim.

that is all.

[legodarknight101]

Dear Youtube,

We do not give a fuck about the Wanted, we've come here to Listen to Tom Petty.

Thank you, fans of proper music

[PubliusEnigma111111]

this brother is a true class act - always has been. waiting IS the hardest part... but SOON all will be revealed.

[musicjunky713]

i would listen to this when i was four thinking DAMN this guys the shit and i thought everyone my age was listening to him and now 10 years later i think wow i was the only one with good taste :)

[freethoughtmusic]

When I have a new song I am getting ready for a gig I think WWBTD (what would Benmont Tench do?) it works great. He is one of the most understated, best keyboardists in rock. No wonder he still plays with Tom. Two f--ing geniuses playing pure musical Dharma. Rock on boys.

[colhole]

@freethoughtmusic 3 geniuses, you can't forget Mike Campbell in there. Benmont, Mike, and Tom are the greatest musicians ever.

[harobmx123]

waiting on that bag of weed is hard mayn

[Sodahpop96]

I was the 1,234,567 view!!!

[chaceurs]

@NovemberRain185 The Simpsons - S09E05 - The Cartridge Family :)

[ChevyGearheads]

2:23 is fucking epic...

[andreww1212]

[TheKaiser969]

[The1CamBo]

@chronicaddict420 adblock plus

[TheDeadPlayers]

Great song while waiting for a certain second episode of a certain second season.

[etchoo78]

aspettarti è la parte più difficile...

[armsocksrox]

I wish today's music was like this...As a teenager it is so hared to find good music! Everything now is fake, its all about money. I wish it were still about music...

[ASDMarauder007]

@armsocksrox the strokes, white stripes, cage the elephant, best coast......

[ASDMarauder007]

@armsocksrox have you heard of alternative music, like the strokes, huh or are you so stupid, that you don't know how to turn the knob on he radio or look for good music

[renaldy75]

i was born in 1975

[musicjunky713]

@renaldy75 and i was born in 99 ?

[ShatnerLover]

This is my favorite song by Mr. Petty and I wish he would sing it at his concerts. Twice I've seen him and this song was never performed. SAD!!! He's so handsome these days with a beard.

[chicherchio]

How could someone dislike this? You know what, 20 motherfuckers don´t know shit about good music.

[TheGranite111]

Thumbs up if Ron Blair is the best bassist ever!

[scottndawn]

Ahh man i went Back to one of my fav Xgirlfriends house the other day. Before I got there, I stopped down the road and turned this song on, loud. And got myself ready. Then I expected her to atleast still be at that house where we had so many memorries. The house was abandoned and overgrown with weeds and trees. I was like, dorn it. Tom Petty looks and is so cool. Fav song by him. *Comment of the year rite there. bam.

[TheLeadzep]

The Cartridge Family , the simpsons :)

[mingus762]

Anybody recognize the Rickenbacker Mike is playing? It's the same one Tom is holding on front of Damn the Torpedoes! And yes it is Mike's not Tom's. first time I noticed it. Love this video!

[M16Ben]

I'm waiting for MW3 to come out. =(

[aaronboi07]

Who has heard Eddie Vedder sing this live with Tom Petty? Definitely worth a listen!

[webb972]

oh the memories

[PurgetheInsanity]

17 people are waiting for a brain to be inserted and then hoping it works.

[stuvo1977]

The start is awesome!!

[olliepet1]

been listening to Tom Petty before the kindergarten! lol one of my favorite groups!!

[TheGranite111]

check out my instrumental version, cheers !!!

[MRniceguy765]

I love this song!!!

[NannerBell313]

I wanna play guitar in front of a big red triangle soooo bad now!

[pissandwind]

How do I say dislike to the Vevo ad?

[crazyasskid22]

@pissandwind just like that i guess

[pissandwind]

Some tubes just don't need the dislike button.

[Homesmoker]

I sing this in my head while waiting for vevo ads...

[rakgtr]

the coolest intro ever

[rl1712]

Reminds me of 2 things;

Homer waiting for a gun

The trailer to The 40 Year Old Virgin

[BettinaBalser]

Seriously, and maybe this is my age, but I actually get goosebumps and tears in my eyes when I hear this song. It's just that good. What in the hell happened to music?

[Niika6666]

@BettinaBalser good question. does anyone even know how to play an instrument, let alone write something thats worth a shit anymore? my guess is no

[ASDMarauder007]

@BettinaBalser alt and indie rock

[ASDMarauder007]

@BettinaBalser it's still good

[MultiSmarterthanyou]

@BettinaBalser I hate when people say "what in the hell happened to music?" Nothing happened to music. There's plenty of great musicians out there. Jesus. And don't say crap like "jusin beiber, beyonce, etc." I'm not talking about that - there's a lot of great music outside of that crap. So please, stop saying ignorant statements like that. And for the record - The Strokes did Tom Petty better than Tom Petty did on "Is This It".

[BettinaBalser]

@MultiSmarterthanyou Um, okay.

[kgillum]

@MultiSmarterthanyou The Strokes did Petty better than Petty? You're fucking high. Go back to Beiber asshat.

[FlorianWZ]

@BettinaBalser Focus groups, "market driven content creation"... Corporation wanting to control musical output to control markets.

[harrynginny4eva]

@BettinaBalser 20 and loving it here.

[acbulgin2]

@BettinaBalser Your goosebumps and tears are the correct response. I get them too. This song is the "only one that's ever known how to make me wanna live like I wanna live now..."

[crazyasskid22]

@BettinaBalser age aint got aything to do with it..lol musics not goin to shit, people are..

[jameswynne76]

@BettinaBalser I so agree.... what we get now is people trying to shove music down our throats that isn't even worth hearing on a cell phone.... What you get from Tom is complete honesty... we're blessed to have his music... it really cuts through the bull and grabs your heartstrings!

[jlehane3]

I could live several lifetimes and not write a song as good as this gem.

[123revolver3]

Great song from a great band! if you love this music check fanatic-frustrations.

[junebuggette1]

My Obsession starte with 'Hometown Blues'. And will never end!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[tompetty1976]

While we're at it, why don't you two take that to a private message so the video isn't full of comments that don't relate to it.

Anyway, The waaaiaiatt ing is the hardarrdest part!

[MrCanadaOntario]

He reminds me of Val Kilmer from Top Secret

[DDestinoo]

Mano arriba si buscastes esta cancion por los SImpsons... Homer esperando su arma xD

[zeffsheart09]

what nazi would dislike a Tom Petty video?!

[Thejanjan39]

I haven't seen this video ever...thanks for posting. this was my favourite song at age 10..was thrilled to get th 45 for my birthday...wish i could still get 45s...

[asianibanez]

does anyone else think that the video for letting you go and the waiting are similar?

[RealityCheckHero]

Why aren't there any blacks or hispanics in this video? Fucking white racists.

[buckyew2]

@RealityCheckHero Fortunately affirmative action never reached the music industry.

[EricV1]

*Sits on his front porch, waiting for his gun as Patty, Selma, A Target Truck, and Flanders pass him by*

[deerkiller264]

this my fav song by him. thnx tom!

[chrluke88]

im only 22 and i love him

[AshBlast333]

Is it weird that I'm 17 and I kind of find Tom Petty attractive?? o.O

[darkbeach72]

@AshBlast333 Not really. When I was a kid all the 17 year old girls were in love with him.

[pimpchic1]

@AshBlast333 neh. I'm 19 and I love, and I mean love, Tom Petty :)

[AshBlast333]

@pimpchic1 he's quite AMAZING! isn't he? X)

[pimpchic1]

@AshBlast333 Oh yeah. I got to see him last summer for my 18th birthday. It was my first concert. That was the best birthday gift I could of gotten!!! I was far away from the stage but seeing him in person was.. I can't even describe it lol. Tom Petty forever!!!!

[OptimusObi]

I was just waiting for a woman to call me, thinking about how silly I felt, so I threw on this video...and about 90 seconds later, the phone rang. Thanks T.P.!

[NosgothKingdom]

@OptimusObi Nice thing it worked for you dude. =)

[ultramegaunknown]

During the guitar solo.... "Mike hates this part"

[mccormack9]

Definitely one of the best albums of 1981. Will never forget it.

[03012006CJS]

this is me and my cousins song

[TheGranite111]

Have an instrumental version on my channel I worker really hard on, hope I did a good job!

[ConorJNixon]

what the hell happened to music like this?

[Ulikecookies]

@ConorJNixon ask Rebecca Black, and Justin Beiber, and Miley Cyrus, and anyone who makes dubstep.

[MrHanyB]

@ConorJNixon nothing but this music was allways "under the ground" but itll never die like others remember Ozone xD i doubt it

[musicjunky713]

when ever im waiting for something i turn this song on and it makes the waiting a whole lot better ;)

[tedGEGI]

wonder why,at 2:27, I suddenly had this urge to listen to Pink Floyd's "Dark Side of the Moon"......

[DaveWollenberg]

The Heartbreakers hit #19 in Billboard, 6-13-81. Tom's vocals in the chorus sound very much like Jim McGuinn's, of the Byrds. God bless ya, for postin' it. Thanx!

[timdalf]

Integrity doesn't seem to mean so much these days- Tom Petty has it in spades.

[daibkid]

tom petty + the heartbreakers ! LEGENDARY !

[kulumusic5588]

Great track listen too Kulu change of heart on youtube.

[turbostarbasher27]

Wow while waiting for this to play i got a fantastic advert for Cascada......not. :@

Why cant Youtube be like it used to be by click on a vid and it plays.

[WilliamBaker1996]

@turbostarbasher27 i know it is so frustrating

[daiquirikiss]

Backstreet Records couldn't see YouTube coming for a long shot.

[JDMulletMan]

"cant believe i have to wait 5 days without shooting anything!"

[jpjzeppelin]

@JDMulletMan YES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[GPE001]

Stairs full of paint - stolen from J.Geils band "Freeze Frame" video?

[blackdiamondrider]

@GPE001 More importantly what does this all signify? As much as Petty is cool, did he know his director works for the Illuminati?
