WWAW the Tom Petty?

[Torque’sHeadBump]

Loved his music ever since I was a little pest. Apparently “Free Fallin’” was the only song my parents could play in the car when I was very little, or I’d scream like a pissy-eyed faggot.

Any brothamen here like him? He was also great with the Traveling Wilbury’s

 

[Mitch Weaver]

Fawk yeah brothaman. I actually got into Tom Petty after hanging out with a 90’s one hit wonder backstage. “The Waiting” came
On and everyone started singing and I was fawkin hooked. Next day I went to Best Buy and picked up this bad boy and never looked back.

He was a good fit for the Wlburys but that was mostly George and Jeff’s show.

 

[Cptbaldopie]

Fez's favorite band

 

[RaggotFetard]

Love the Petty. Got to see him play a smallish club with Mudcrutch just a few months before he died. I remember being hesitant about going cus tix were like $120 and I was unemployed at the time, but thank god I did. They sounded great too.

You Got Lucky and Into The Great Wide Open still slap

 

[Huh?]

Love the Petty.

I don't cry much but my wife and I broke down and dove into a bottle of whiskey. Thought it was a prank at first, hoped it was. It was the same night, same time as the Vegas shooting thing, someone we know hanging herself, and my band putting out an album. These things happen in fours.

Got to see him three times. He was the coolest dude for the longest time, but for whatever reason he started slipping at the end. Didn't sue The Strokes, didn't sue RHCP, but that faggot ass Sam Smith song he was like "hey, make sure my name is on that one!" His last record took awhile to grab me but it's got really great shit. Probably his best since Great Wide Open. Watch Running Down a Dream every other year or so. His Classic Albums for Torpedos is great too. That Running Down a Dream video is one of my earliest memories. If you haven't seen Take The Highway Live you should.

Perplexing that there was never a tribute show for him of some kind. Nothing for Van Halen either, but that punk bitch that let Dave Grohl force the tard shot on him leading to his heart exploding got 2?

Great post man. Best Buy had a huge blowout on a deluxe edition of the Running Down A Dream doc with a bonus live show and cd. I think I got it for 10 bucks, would’ve paid 5 times that for this song alone.

I go fawkin deep with the Petty, fawwwwk yeah. You're So Bad is a great song.

That's a solid deal. And yeah that songs great, sounds like one he would have written. The dude has an endless amount of shit I still discover.

 

[NortheastPhilly]

He’s my favorite. Reminds me of living down the shore for entire summers, bars there are always playing TP.
Miss those days *sniff*

Stan Lynch is a prick but he was the perfect drummer for that band. They lost something when he quit/got fired. And I’m not just saying that cause he was replaced by a colored.

He can't be that much of a prick. Just seems like a goofy hot head, the archetypal drummer. The rest of the band didn't want to fire him. I know he's been showing up at some of Mike Cambells shows. I'll tell you hwhat, their backing vocals suffered a huge hit losing him and Howie. Howie used to make their backing vocals sound so good they sounded fake. And yeah, Steve Ferrone is nowhere near what Stan was. Weird chose, but I guess he had the sound they were looking for for Wildflowers, which translates 0% to the rest of the stuff. It's weird that they all haven't played together still since Tom bit the dust.

 

[Toast]

Wildflowers was a fucking solid album. Was the first Tom Petty one I bought; I think.

It took me forever to appreciate that one, since it's just so different than everything else he'd done up til then.

There’s a big tribute show that’s going to be on Sirius at some point in the coming months. I think they shot it already but are holding it for something that I’m not sure about.
