'Tom Petty' - The coolest dude on Earth?
 

I am a really big fan of this guy and his band:

'Tom Petty & The Heartbreakers'.

It's such a shame he's now dead. He's written so many good songs, it's unbelievable. I like almost every song on his 'Anthology' album.

What do you think of him?

Tom is Great




He's not dead though, are you perhaps thinking of Stevie Ray Vaughn?

Tom Pety isnt dead. O_O

If you think that Tom Petty is dead I would seriously question how big a fan you are of him.

oh my god i was like FREAKIN IS HE DEAD?!?
whoa

yeah me likes him

Wow, my first reaction after reading the first post, was to go and check Yahoo News, I couldn't believe that I missed hearing that Tom Petty died. But then I realized, as many of you have....Tom isn't dead.....

Still a cool guy though, with a solid catalouge. I've never seen him before, but he toured this past summer with the Black Crows. I can't imagine how awesome that show was.

What made you think he was dead?

I really like him, this belongs in the Scarred for Life thread because my Mum loves him to pieces. And I got caught up in his coolness many years ago.

Good man.

JOKE!!! :rofl:

yeah sure...

that's like "i was playing with you and you fell HAHA"
...................

Wow he does basically look like a walking corpse now.

Yeah, Tom is great. Saw him live several years back and quite simply it was one of the best shows i've seen. Greeeeeaaatttt songwriter!!!

One of the best...I was :yikes: freaked out by that first post!

I wouldn't say hes the coolest. Id say hes #21. right under Cat Stevens

Under Cat Stevens? Are you kidding me? He's awful. Cat Stevens wishes he could be Paul Simon. I've always questioned Tom Pettys song writing. Its a hit or miss thing in my opinion.

I like the guy and was shocked to hear I didn't know he would be dead. i am usually up to date with everything music related since I am a radio Dj. So .. nice knowing he's not dead :D

What station do you DJ for?

He's releasing a solo album and I heard the lead single "Saving Grace" the other night on the radio. Man, when this guy hits, he hits huge, this ****ing song owns my GD face.
