OT- Tom Petty RIP

[superjohn]

Just a brutal day all around.

RIP

That really sucks he was on a short list of bands/singers I wanted to see in concert. Hands down one of the greatest classic rock bands ever can listen to them for hours. Will be greatly missed may he Rest In Peace.

WTF? I remember buying Damn the Torpedoes and blasting it on my roomie's stereo in the Jungle.

 

[Mano]

Dang, thats truly a drag. Just watched The Postman the other night (it was late, couldn't sleep), had no idea he was in it, as himself no less in a post apocalyptic world. RIP

That was you?!?

 

[Chin Diesel]

Really liked his music.

Refugee is an outstanding rock song.

I will always associate American Girl with Fast Times at Ridgmont High.

 

[CL82]

Oh no! Way, way too soon. Loved Petty with the Heartbreakers and on the Travelling Willburys. Really distinctive sound.

I associate it with The Silence of the Lambs.

NO....I heard he had a heart attack but didn't hear he passed. I am so bummed hearing this. Today has been a terrible day.

 

[HooperScooper]

One of my favorites. Glad I got to see him in concert a few times. RIP Tom.

He's on my list of great "mood" musicians. Like Nirvana when I want to feel edgy. Gin Blossoms when I want to feel melancholy. Zep to feel up. Clash to feel rebellious. and so on. Tom Petty was my "chill out" choice. Always relaxed me. Also a great go-to on the juke box if you have no real song in mind. Many, many cool tunes from which to choose.

Now Tom . . . .

Into the great wide-open, under them skies of blue.

RIP. Thanks for all of the wonderful music and moods you sent my way.

That was you?!?

It was usually the Clash or U2, but I really liked Petty.

 

[NorwalkHusky]

I saw him back in June at Mountain Jam, God what a great concert I'm really lucky looking back now.

I saw him in the early 90s. One of best shows I ever attended. Big loss to music today

Only 40% of the TWs are still around.

This sucks.

What a day.

 

[Northbound]

I saw him in 1985 and 1989 at Saratoga - guy was in his prime and crushed it.

 

[Matrim55]

This song & video has always wrecked me. Now it's almost too painful to watch.



RIP Tom. What a talent.

Don't worry, he's alive again.

At the risk of being boorish and insensitive...

RIP Tom Petty one of the great ones.

Travel well Tom. Youll be sadly missed sir.

 

[Kenny11]

He’s alive!

 

[mauconnfan]

He’s alive!

The Boneyard is an amazing place!

 

[superjohn]

Guys, he's gone.

 

[jayteeman]

Very sad.....you will continue to put on a TP tune anytime and feel good...can't say that about many artists

 

[jibsey]

Saw him in Hartford with Steve Winwood both of them great. One of the most successful rock touring bands of all time, first Glenn Frey and now this.
