RIP to a true rock legend
If there was a soundtrack to my life Y
Tom wrote it. 😢💔
Leslie Sauceman same here. So much of my younger years (late teens and all of my 20s) were so much shaped by his music. His songs were a very big part of my life during that time.
Sounds like he was a good guy too.
Grunge Amen we lost a real true artest of the Rock-N-Roll!!!!! A great and I feel lucky to have gotten to in joy listening to Tom Petty and the Herat Breakers....
Jimmy Heavner I agree with u . When I found out I cried my eyes out
An absolute legend who admitted to mistakes and moved forward, never back.. RIP Tom!
Never got to see him perform live but always have and always will enjoy his music. Another one gone way too soon. RIP
Myself and a couple good friends who are hardcore fans and had been there from the beginning, still to this day say that we've seen a lot of fabulous artists pass on but still have a hard time dealing with Tom not being here anymore. His music and his band are a treasure, never to be forgotten.
Real legends never die! It’s 2020 and I’m still jamming to Tom Petty!
Susan MinhTrang Nguyen 🤝
@@Bughunt89 He won't die.
He was an awesome song writer. He was a true story teller and brought you along for the ride. He will be truly missed.
I hadn't realized until his passing, how much he was a part of my life growing up. I am a fan and I loved him.
cantthinkofone77 me too. His music was such an integral part of my young adulthood, and yet I had forgotten that until I heard quite a few songs on the radio yesterday. His music really helped shape much of my life.
Same here. I grew up listening to his music, but it wasn't until he passed away and I binged listened to his hits and actually listened to the lyrics carefully, that I realized just how much his music connected with me, and my own life experiences.
cantthinkofone77 I feel the same way. I've been a fan for decades! I loved him, his music and his band 😍
cantthinkofone77 - wondering
It's amazing, all the tributes in honor of him the last few days.
I am eternally grateful for having TP and the HB in my life,throughout good and bad parts of life their music was always there to get you through whatever.I can only imagine that's how they felt about playing and making their great albums,You guys will never be forgotten.RIP Tom
Gone way too soon, Tom. And like so many others, so many come to mind, we'll never stop missing you. Thank you for the songs.
Grew up on this music. Always seemed like every song came from the heart & he seemed like such a down-to-earth person. There will never be another. RIP
Love how you did this respectfully and truthfully. That's rare these days.
i agree well said
And in a very short time!! Cheers!! RIP Tom Petty You have now learned to fly into the Great Wide open you go!!!
Thanks. We're big fans around these parts - this one hurt a little.
Devastating only begins to describe the loss.
I'm glad I saw this comment because I didn't want to watch a negative video about Tom Petty, he was one of the greats
I had been wanting to see Tom in concert for 25 years and decided this would be the year. His 40th tour was his last grand gift to his fans. He played his heart out for each show. He will be missed but his music will comfort us for the rest of our lives.
One of my biggest regrets in life is that I'll never have the opportunity to see him play.
Consider yourself lucky Mike. In addition to being one of the ugliest men in the country, he was a drunk and a drug addict, and of course he eventually overdosed. His music was Americana trailer park trash - makes me think of mullet hairdos and 8oz cans of warm beer.
eddy gee dude shut the f up your so wrong
Eddy you are nothing more than a Bieber loving' brat. Mow go away and let mummy change your nappy or you can beat it to Boyfriend.
I nearly did as well but saw him in Hyde Park in 2017. One of the best shows Ive been too with two magical concert moments for me. Duetting with Stevie Nick on Stop Draggin..... and playing my favourite Petty song, Crawling Back to You, just because he wanted to
Oh, damn, man -- sorry to read that. I saw him twice on the: "Into The Great Wide Open" tour, and then the: "Wildflowers" tour. "ITGWO" was full of weird psychedelic sets, which was cool, but "Wildflowers" was a nice, stripped down stage of just the band, which was so much better.
RIP Tom. An incredible Musician. A Rock Icon!!! His music will live forever!!!
I didnt really listen to his music. but when he died i played a lot of it. I never realized that Tom and the Heartbreakers played all these legendary and iconic songs. I think he had a really interesting voice that was versatile and hearing live versions of his songs was amazing he sounds so good. He definitely is in my top 5 rock stars of all time. One of the wonders of rock really.
+EazyE187um: Now, now, this Is In Memory Of Tom Petty's True Character, so lets not Blaspheme it with fighting over 0ing, or petty shit, O.K. !!!/???/...
stupid cat. dam dude u missed out not playing his music ur hole life.i hope u see. old school music is always the best & u find out other cool band's u can shape ur soul for the better . tom petty is a good place to start bro. ck out a band called place of skulls.& open ur mind to some cool music & spirit caravan last embrace .ull get it I'm glad i could help u get their.bro.
stupid cat I omost forgot CLUTCH go see them live bro that will mold ur mind for the better !!!!!!!
stupid cat don't forget NEAL YOUNG. ck his music out before he"s leves us too.
I always found Petty a warm, genuine & sincere man. I will miss him deeply & his brand of rock that I loved beginning to end.
Sounds like you knew him real well Anita. In addition to being one of the ugliest men in the country, he was a drunk and a drug addict. His music was Americana trailer park trash - makes me think of mullet hairdos and 8oz cans of warm beer.
Eddeeeee! The needle has stuck on your Bieber record
Ugly? TP. You are joking, surely! I agree about the drugs though. It is what killed him, ultimately. He was using illegal Fentanyl mixed with other prescription meds to help ease pain from a hip joint fracture and he was a regular user of weed too - possibly other drugs too. You can tell the way he spoke that he was on something. His voice dragged - very slow and measured - which is a sure sign he was struggling to gather his thoughts and speak cogently. He sounded drunk too, sometimes, although I am not sure if he boozed all that much. He was also a very heavy smoker - a chain smoker really - and was suffering from Emphaesema toward the end of his life. If his CA hadn't killed him that would have - or lung cancer, possibly. Despite being a musically gifted person with very good personal qualities, he clearly didn't look after his physical health. He died young and could have lasted out lot longer if he had.
eddy gee Wrong
Poor Tom was touring with a cracked hip so that he wouldn’t disappoint his fans by canceling. That’s why he had dangerous drugs on hand, and it’s all too easy to accidentally overdose through polypharmacy... folks forget what they took, and how much, and when. May Tom’s memory continue to endure as a blessing!
Being born in the early 60's, I have grown old with your music, bless you Tom.................I am shattered by your loss
Out of all the horrible people in the world, and we had to lose a true star, rock on Tom, rock on
JR Reviews that is so true. you said brother.
I feel that way also .. I guess it's something I will never get either ...very sad..I love everything about him and his music ..I'm thinking of his wife and family and close friends and fans ..I lost My brother the same way ..that fast ..just gone 4 hours after my uncles funeral .. my uncle my brother the day of his funeral and my dad all in 5 months and all sudden deaths .. they need our support ..how can I send a card ..does anyone know
Word. but it's the ones like Tom that help us to carry on right man!?
Brian Mucha right man.
funny you say that , I've said that about so many people i know , the horrible person being myself i wonder why so many good people in my life are taken so early yet here i sit . ex wife even told the judge i was Satan himself , I'm not but I'm not Jesus either , I've destroyed anything beautiful in my life. why ? i don't know . i don't want to be like this , i don't want to be here period ! i just don't have the balls to pull the trigger, ive tasted it many times but.....
From grave digger to Rock Icon. Petty proved you can go places with talent, wisdom and persistence. RIP Tom!
I'm about the same age as Tom. I may have outlived the musician, but his music will outlive us all.
Greg T So true👍🏼
Greg T I’ll never outlive my musicianship and I’m 60
Dude
Ver well said!
You're a good man. Respect.
Great video. Thanks Tom for the many good shows I've been lucky enough to see you at. RIP Mr. Petty.
I saw him in concert once, the lights were a problem but we cheered anyway because we just wanted to hear his music and, man, did he deliver! We will miss you, Tom, RIP.
that what music is about !!! id love just hear him on a flat top on the river bank ! keep the lights and smoke !!!! dont need none of that
I remember when I first saw him with his top hat I thought he was just so weird - I was just 15. He really really grew on me over the years. He was such an amazing person and songwriter. Of all the deaths of the last couple of years this one has really hurt the most. Thanks for posting this tribute. We will miss you, Tom. RIP. :(
This one hit me especially hard. Of all the greats we lost recently, he's the one I listened to the most. RIP, Sir.
Respect to a man who stuck to his word and never sold his art to corporations,As the great Bill Hicks said "Play from your fucking heart man, RIP Tom Petty
Rest In Peace Tom. I thank you from the bottom of my heart for your music. As a young kid and now 47 yrs old. You are a legend, And in my book, Legends Never Die. God Bless You Tom...........
Miss you Tom Petty. Gone too soon but your music will live on forever.
I like how he remained human in the face of stardom, he never got a big head or anything and always seemed like a cool guy, IMO Tom petty was the real deal, great music, cool guy and never forgot who he was....much much respect, so sad that he passed away :[ good video though :]
darthXreven what does IMO mean? I'm not really sure. please tell me cause I see it all of the time. Please and thank you
In my opinion
For some reason I always remember an interview with him a long time ago and I always remember him saying,never idolize people,just be yourself and that's about all of that interview I remember,seemed like a good guy,great music and we all have our problems.RIP Mr Petty,thanks for all the good memories.
I was at a show where he let his golden retriever walk out onto the stage... This was way back though, like '96 maybe. He's so chill prince is probably chillin with him right now
darthXreven Yes, I agree. He never became Hollywood or soldout.
Tom, you'll never be forgotten as you take your last dance; Shine on, Legend.
He was so calm. This is rock and roll, and everyone scrrreeeeeams their songs out! And here Tom Petty always sounded like he was having a peaceful conversation with the listener. Always loved that.
This man was great in the true sense of that word. He really must have channelled a lot of his music from the 'energy source' as he calls it because so much of his music is so sublime and timeless. We have been blessed indeed to have his music form the soundtrack to our lives.
The Heartbreakers and the Wilburys . Both were Awesome . God bless your family .RIP Tom Petty.
Forgot about the WIlburys. Another Wilbury gone. Hardly any left now :(
surfjukie421 no god, sorry.
I Always have memories of listening to Tom Petty and the heartbreakers since I was a kid in the 1980's!
R.I.P. TOM PETTY ...YOU'LL BE MISSED BY ALL ❤❤❤
Thank you for the very respectful tribute to one of the most fascinating, honest, and talented songwriter/musician and story teller in the history of music.
When you talked about how he wouldnt sue people for using bits of his songs, I began to tear up a bit, Tom Petty didn't care about fame he had it but he didn't care about it, It was about the music it's self, Tom Petty was a true class act for his remaining a human throughout his HUGE career, and for that I commend him, God bless Tom Petty, and RIP.
Justin Sparks , he told me " to fuck off " for just asking for his autograph after a concert!! He was an ass!!
+Second Thought: maybe that's how u saw it, but the more I hear of him personally, the more I can see him doing that, not 2 get pumped up with himself !!!/... + I maybe wrong, but I don't think he literally said FU, though he might have just kept walking on.
Justin Sparks I teared up too, Justin. He was a good man, and even though you and I didn't know him personally, he felt like family, or at least a good friend. (You have an awesome name, BTW. Just sayin'.)
Second Thought I wasn't there to see what happened, and maybe he did tell you to fuck off, and maybe he was an ass, but maybe, just MAYBE, you might have been too forward, or aggressive, or just plain obnoxious and pushy, and maybe he wasn't in the mood to put up with someone acting like that to him, someone who thought he was entitled to his autograph. Or maybe he was needlessly unpleasant to you. IDK. But you do. Be honest with yourself.
If there's a finer tribute to this man I have yet to read it.
He was one of the real ones
Tom Petty, ... God Bless.
A marvelous talent with heart and ethics. This is a package that is crucially needed in a world that has become bitter and lacking in respect. Too many of the good ones are taken from us too early. We will miss you, Tom.
Tom Petty gave us many memories and he will always be in our hearts. RIP Tom and thank you.
You kept it real till the end, Tom.
RIP
Random Metalhead l
Great. Thank you for reminding us of that
He was a fake right to the end. Rot in hell you piece of garbage.
God bless you Tom Petty.... There is a incredible place in heaven for you... Your work is done down here but with your God given talent it will continue in heaven. see you soon my friend... Play in Peace 🎸
The music world has lost another master. Thank you Tom for many great songs and many great memories that occurred to those songs.
Rest in peace Tom Petty.
You did it right. A true man who held his values. Great music year after year. God needed you with him now.
Thank you
Tom was part of two of the greatest rock bands of all time. And his solo album Full Moon Fever is one of the greatest albums ever. What a talent. And for me personally, Tom and his band gave some of the greatest concerts I've ever attended. Thank you Tom Petty for the gift of music you gave us all!
I truly wish I had a chance to go to one of his concerts before he passed away:/ He was incredible and is my favorite of all time.
I agree 😢
Rest in peace Tom. Thanks for "Runnin Down A Dream."
R.I P. Tom Petty ty for many yrs of great rock music! We will miss you!❤
Tom Petty Said, he's still Around to Sing Music. Thought he would Last. God Blessed Petty To Make Us Happy.
☺️👍🏼🇺🇸
A big fan. Another music legend of ours passes on. He will be missed.
RIP to TP. his songs were a big part of the sound track to so many of our lives. a true one of a kind. another legend gone but never forgotten.
Still in shock over his death. He was and is a true rock icon. The first song I heard was REFUGEE and I was hooked. Every song on every album was great,including his work with The Traveling Willburys.Saw him live in concert three times and I am sad I can’t see him again. RIP Tom Petty, you will live on forever in your wonderful music ,never to be forgotten.
I miss him terribly, Tom was a true rock and roll legend.
Scott Murphy totally agree!
From refugee to you don't know how it feels Tom Petty will never be forgotten.
A real person through and through. He'll be missed.
He got his wings. And thank you for the music
iammontecristo what wings
I was referring to a line in Learning To Fly
+ratliff2006: He didn't believe in what ??? He sure Lived Alot, 4 I AM Honestly + HumblY SeekINg mEYE Musical FamilY Truth !!!/???/...
Tom taught me how to fly. Thanks for the tunes, Tom : (
iammontecristo I
So many who made the great music I grew up to are gone now. Rest well Mr. Petty. You were a really amazing man.
Tom Petty may not be remembered quite as widely as others, but there'll always be people who love him and his music for as long as rock is remembered.
Sad to see a legend leave us.
Hope his life was full of love.
We all loved his music and I never even thought of music without him.
RIP
THANX FOR ALL THE GREAT ROCKNROLL
We miss you
Marvelous artist, marvelous man. They don't come any better and I will keep adoring him until the day I die. Beautiful soul.
I miss him so much. Best sounding rock band live I ever witnessed. Wonderful songwriter whose songs about loneliness give me chills.
Tom, you inspired me and a legion of other musicians and music lovers across the globe. You could write a song hook like no other. You are greatly missed, but your music will live on forever. RIP Tom
RIP Mr Petty, you were an intelligent and talented human being, the complete opposite of the vulgar and narcissistic THING that passes for popular music today. We shall miss your civilising influence.
Well said....Tom was the "Anti Rap" I am sorry but I just dont get overwhelming bass and curse words spoken over and over in Rap music as an intelligent form of music
I just thought he was a very nice guy! His music was good too.
I bought his first album by mistake, thinking it was "The Heartbreakers" (Johhny Thunders and co) back in the 70's-turned out to be the best mistake I ever made!
RIP Tom, and thank you, from the bottom of my heart, for a lifetime of great music.
I learned to really appreciate Tom Petty as I got older and learned to know what a truly good song writer and poet he was. Back in 1979 in my first band we learned to play REFUGEE and even though we sucked I am happy knowing we was open minded about songs we played. Tom brought millions of people happiness through his music. And his band are right up there giving them that sound. Never again....sad and gone too soon. Thank you Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers. 🙏🏼❤️🎸🎼
Well done video, Grunge. It's still hard for me to believe Tom is no longer with us. My husband
and I grew up with him. We remember when he hit the airwaves in 1976. We have been fans for 40 years and we will be fans forever. Tom is a true rock legend, that's for sure. I have been listening to Tom Petty radio on SiriusXM for the past 10 days. His music will live forever. He is an American treasure. RIP, Tom.
Tom Petty was a true legend in the music industry. Huge influence for me. Rest in Peace Tom.
Born to ride
They don't make them like that anymore.
In addition to being one of the ugliest men in the country, he was a drunk and a drug addict, and of course he eventually overdosed. His music was Americana trailer park trash - makes me think of mullet hairdos and 8oz cans of warm beer.
You mean you learnt how to Copy and Paste edie? Wow!
RIP TOM YOUR ROCKIN WITH ROY AGAIN YOU WILL BE MISSED!!!
Brian Chandler and George Harrison to.
deborah williams yes most definitely but was taking my son to football and did not have time to mention all the great musicians he's rocking out with!
Amy Sternheim kind of wish I was there but not yet would be nice to see my son get married and have a son of his own just so I can watch his hair turn gray overnight, then I will party with the legends!
Not to mention Howie, too. He can finally apologize and let Howie know how much he really meant to him in spite of the trouble they had between them. Tom really did love him but just had his own demons at the time.
Absolutely, Brian!
Saw him once, in 1980. Wish I had seen him more. R.I.P. to a Real Musician with a True Heart...
I saw him 2 times when I lived in Nashville. His concerts were always great. He was a legend for sure. Rest in Peace.
Musicians like him will live forever
Trevor P ummm no one lives forever...dumbass
heroes get remembered, but legends never die
Amen.
Trevor P. He was alright but Noone lives forever.
He only had 2 or 3 songs I like, the rest were OK IMO.
Yes he was popular but he's not the only one
Thanks for being there for so many good memories Tom. Never met you yet you were one of my best friends.
Tom Petty made this world a better world with him in it,..and he went out doing what he loved! Rest in Peace southern boy, you did a fine job while you were here! God bless ya xx
Thanks so much for collecting and sharing these tidbits of very interesting information. From his humble beginnings, he overcame adversities that would have shut many down. His story is our story and strictly American. May he RIP and his music go on forever. My respect to his family and friends. So glad you were all there by him when the end came.
Damn I still can't believe it's true, great talented songwriter and musician will be sorely missed way to soon !
Great musician that played beautiful melodies.
I loved Tom Petty band! Thank you for all the good music over the years! I know how he feels! He will be missed! Best wishes! -D
May 25, 1994 was a day I'll never forget. I got to see Tom Petty play and it was the best show ever. Tom Petty helped me growing up. When I had no one, I had his music. Thanks Tom for all you did. You're a legend ❤️
I saw him in concert a few months ago. I still can't believe he died
jeremy scungio I never was able to see him in person. It's too bad he died he was a great musician.
Jacob E it was one of my favorite concerts. He looked pretty healthy too so I'm surprised
jeremy scungio I know me too
I saw him last Monday. Still hard to believe.
+Scotty Doesn't Know: + medically he was stated as being in great health
I am really heart broken over the death of Tom Petty. He is and always will be one of my top five ultimate musicians. In 1989 my son was less then year years old and I can remember when his sisters and other children all wanted to hear Ice Ice Baby over and over again. But not my son he would bring me Tom Petty's music cassette and say Petty please. It's something that we were able to record and to this day watch over and over again laughing so hard that we would cry. We both cried together when we heard of his passing.
Arleen Smith same here my bros were listening to rap! I always liked my moms music her Tom Petty ,Heart ,Tina Turner ,ccr etc i always loved her music im 35 now i was sadden too bout his passing!
Arleen Smith
A Beautiful tribute. Great job for the Rocker Tom Petty ... He's at The Top Of The World Tonight
What an amazing concert you gave Tom as always you never disappoint your fans. You are greatly going to be missed by all who love your music and more importantly, you. RIP Tom
Rest in peace Mr Petty you will remain a legend
I don't think Tom needed to apologize about using the Confederate flag. The Dukes of Hazzard show had more Blacks on it than Seinfeld and other shows of the time. He wasn't racist, so it wasn't a racist symbol in the context of how he used it.
He went too soon.
When you see his vids you know he was no damn racist. Many americans were ignorant to it too.
I think his point was that given how African Americans view that flag, for good reason, people from the South can find some other symbol for showing pride in their heritage.
On that same note, the WHOLE cast of Seinfeld is Jewish, every single cast member, it's like you HAD to be Jewish.
Tom Petty did what he felt was right after giving it a great deal of consideration, no doubt. Whether it was right or wrong to anyone else never mattered more than being true to himself. That's just one of the many attributes we can learn from this incredible man. Peace.
Motor City Man That is not true. What a ridiculous statement.
Petty’s music was so iconic and popular that it seemed to be a backdrop for those who won’t cave to pressure to conform in any way. His song won’t back down pretty much explains his stance. “You can stand me up to the gates of hell but I won’t back down”
Rest in peace sir. You were a class act and a true musical legend. Most of the artists today cannot compare to the icons like Tom Petty, Roy Orbison and others.
He was a true gentleman rocker; a genuine musical legend. A tragedy to lose him so young. RIP
I will stand my ground , and I ...won’t back
And i won't back down , one of my fav songs bro rip tom
Hard 2 beat learning to fly
If you were in the path of a train you would run crying like a bitch instead of standing your ground.😝
He backed down to political correctness, the piece of shit.
RIP to a music legend of a lifetime !
So glad but yet so sad. Thank you Mr. Petty for all the great classics you gave us.
I met Tom Petty 15 years ago and we enjoyed a joint together, he is a remarkably generous and very kind person, I will always be a huge fan
Justin Amazing that is so cool
I'm in awe 😎
Wish he was still around to get to the point and roll another joint................................
Justin Amazing that's an awesome story brother.my friend makes cool music like tom did ck it out spirit caravan last embrace cd & place of skulls.ck all 4 cd"s it will blow ur mind stoner music !!! let me know how u like it O don't forget CLUTCH !!! see them live some time.peace out brother.
Justin Amazing very cool
I really do hope that at some point there will be a tributary concert for Tom, much like they did one for George Harrison (of which Tom was a part of). Would be so fitting.
R.I.P. Tom what a legend.....I loved you so much.....thanks for the wonderful memories....just playing all your stuff and crying on this Sunday morning in England....my own personal tribute to a lovely musician...xxx
I met Tom Petty and The Heartbreakers around '79 or '80.. They were rehearsing in a small garage on Ventura Blvd next to Greene's Liquor. We stood outside the garage for a long time before they opened the door and came out. My older brother was into music from a very early age and asked who they were and they said The Heartbreakers. Years later we put two and two together.
Forever in our hearts and souls. Rest easy Tom and thank you for all the memories
So glad I got to see him one last time in Baltimore back in July. The 2 best concerts I've ever been to where both Tom Petty gigs. We'll miss you buddy. Thankfully, your music will live on.
I was there in Baltimore too with my 18 year old daughter. I'm 61. His music spanned a generation or, two for that matter. She loved Tom Petty and his music, as we all did.
He was a truly beautiful human being who will be sorely missed forever. 😢RIP Tom. Thank you so much for everything. 🙂
Had no idea who Tom Petty was until I heard "Refugee" played on the radio in about 1978! Ran out and bought the album and never looked back!
Sad that he is gone, along with any new music. RIP.
Thank you Tom for all your incredible music over the years! Truly gifted and terribly missed, R.I.P.
Tom Petty was the most sincere man I ever met, you know I, and your millions of fan are heart broken, losing you, we LOVE YOU TOM. R.I.P. rock legend, Thank You for all of the great songs. My feelings and prayers go out to all of Tom's family.
I just discovered his music its so darn good
tom was one of, if not the greatest rock n roll songwriter in history. i miss him so much. Got to see his guitar and the hat he wore on his 87 tour. Made my year for sure.
Tom and the Heartbreakers made great rock music decade after decade. Took them for granted. Forgot to notice that they, too, were growing old. Then Tom died. Still love his music -- forever young.
