I'm glad I got sober, before discovering Tom Waits. I probably would've downloaded EVERY album he made, bought a case of whisky, put the music on shuffle, & proceeded to drink myself to death. Having said THAT, I'm glad that in sobriety, I can enjoy his music with a CLEAR head, and appreciate what a unique talent he is. I'm approaching 49 years on this planet, & he's my new hero. Warts & all!
He sounds like his vocal chord have been put in a jar full of stones and whisky, then he threw the god damn jar into the wall, lifted the vocal cords from the dirty floor and put them back into his throat.. This guys voice is a fucking monster
A critic described Tom’s voice as being soaked in a vat of aged Tennessee bourbon, left to dry in a smokehouse, then taken outside and run over with a car
For me personally, it's Waits and Nick Cave. Two very different lyrical/storytelling styles. But, to me, equally gifted at giving you surprising lyrics that tell great stories and also work perfectly musically.

This song is freaggin' awesome to sing in karaoke--everyone in the place looks at you baffled, with that "WTF?" expression on their faces. Sang it at my friends birthday the other day and everyone was shook out of their foundation, unsettled. Thank you Tom!!
This video introduced me to TOM WAITS on MTV Europe rotation in 1992. Been a life long fan since . Imagine MTV now playing TOM WAITS on rotation. Nope?
LOL! I don't even know WTF they play anymore... But would bet money it is awful reality shows.... Even if they do play music it would be God awful.. 90% Of music today is garbage!
When I was 20 this album came out and I insisted that I could walk out to this at my first amateur kick boxing match. This was 7 years before fight club by the way. This is the perfect fight song.
I love how he acts and holds that little guitar. it almost feels like one of the satire songs that Hugh Laurie would do on A Bit of Fry and Laurie, ya know?
I remember listening to this with my buddy some years ago. We were off our faces on coke singing this and he put his head through a plywood door. Took 9 stitches like a champ. Ahhhhh the good old days
this album was so unexpected for me... from sad soft melodic lounge tunes... with a simple guitar and piano... to a devil costume, red heel shoe on one foot and loud screams? Kick ass, and a fine example of what makes tom waits so go damn unique.

Comments like this automatically get you kicked out of the cool people group 😂 There are people that loved this song way before a stupid movie came out!
Bone Machine is one of the last albums I can remember playing from beginning to end, in order, every time It's perfect in every way and Going Out West' is one of the best songs in history.
He’s the originally heavy metal vocalist with that rough voice. But in an intelligent songwriter way. A folk and rock artist. Tom is such a legendary and has such unusual voice. It minds me of dirt bike walking and being working out being all dirty and muddy with a swamp kind of feel. I just love this.
I just couldn't get this fucking song out of my head after hearing it in the bar scene in Fight Club.I just have to find it.Now i can finally have some peace of mind
My goal as an artist is to paint as good , as excellent as Tom Waits can sing, write songs, perform, and …well make music. He is F R E A K I N' AWESOME-Sauce!! Super talented, so soulful, so intensely into what he's doing it consumes his every molecule, yet he still can dance away & take a funny satirical and humble look at what he is & smirk, smile, laugh. Then step back in and sing his heart out till he make you cry. I love this guy.
First time I heard this song was in a qotsa cover when they covered this song, I'm so glad I heard this version as well, qotsa cover also has amazing charisma
No one comes close to Tom Waits in the talent dept. I LOVE every evolution and he's changed drastically from beginning to now. The music is outrageously great too.
Maybe not your thing, but i like my Tom to waits with Londons werewolf, Zevon, and see dub stoneking. Kennedy, before dollar shave club snatched it up. And maybard, if you consider the conditions of his parole/turgid tumescence for cuntry tunes
Tom Waits is an uncompromised artist, poet and musician . He kicks ass and dosn't seem to give a fuck! His music paints pictures of all manner of squalid lifestyles with a wicked sense of humour! Classic track featured in the movie Fight Club.
Fuck no wonder it sounded familiar. 🤔🤔 I came to it by seen a quote of him that said "i like beautiful melodies telling me terrible things" tom waits. That i found in Facebook and wanted to check out the guy. And fell mesmerized by this song. It blew my mind. It's fuckin insane!!
Who's here because "little brown sausages, lying in the sand" are not just Tom waits best lyrics, but the hands down undisputed best ever written lyrics period.
I never really knew much about Tom until I saw this bizarre video. I was floored by it as definitely converted me into a fan. It’s just as humorous as it is dark. But that’s Tom, and there could never be another.
In 1993 I got Bone Machine eventually wearing a groove in the CD. That afternoon I had already scored some speed and later on on my first playing of the tracks on my trucks stereo system I replayed this song since it was appropriate for the moment . The plan was to drive all night, but I already had some tweak so i made a slight change to the lyrics.
+Nicolás Riveros It was right on everyone's face. Tyler and I just made it visible. It was in the tip of everyone's tongue, Tyler and I just gave it a name.
When you walk into the bar and this song starts you know what's going on 😎🤙🤙
I am not gonna talk about it though.
Yeah it means there is a fight club ;)

@@davidnissim589 😂 Sounds about right!
Yeah well that guys voice has brought him more money and adoration from true music fans than you could ever dream of making.
Tom Waits can get more great lyrics into ONE song than most artists can put in a whole album. He's an amazing talent.
He's one of the few musicians who comes close to Warren Zevon in that respect.
For me personally, it's Waits and Nick Cave. Two very different lyrical/storytelling styles. But, to me, equally gifted at giving you surprising lyrics that tell great stories and also work perfectly musically.
His wife writes the lyrics
put a helmet on that Man... he must be protected at aall costs.
@@Mitchell_E_Underscore Hit the nail on the head.Nick is still putting out great new music.
Only Tom Waits makes out of tune guitars and singing sound this awesome. Pure genious.
Who needs to be in tune when you have attitude and swagger
"knowing how to play instruments was fine, But it just got in the way of the truly greats."
@@eamonwright7488 in this case he knows how to play the instruments - it’s the tuning that is lacking, haha! :D
it's open tuning
You can tune a guitar many ways. I think this is open tuned😊
Only Tom Waits could make a video of himself going completely bonkers while dressed as the Devil in a steam-filled room. He's a legend.
And he probably filmed it in his own house.
"He sings like he's being chased by the devil".
Chuck E. Weiss.
I think he he sings like he's _chasing_ the devil :-)
My first GF said he sounds like he smokes 4 packs a day and gargles concrete. Fuck you Margo , I think he's awesome
The boogyman checks under his bed at night to make sure Tom Waits isn't there.

+Samwise + John Smith: How about Joplin, wasn't her voice raspier & rougher than both Kim Carnes & Bonnie Tyler?

No I think you would find the kids voice could cut cinder blocks or crush glass
