Springsteen rocks, but Tom Petty and the heartbreakers are definetly the greatest American rock band ever. No doubt about it!!
I considered the Eagles the greatest American band for years but when they didnt follow up Hell Freezes over with an original album immediately and just became a regurgitating tour band ($$$) for the next decade plus they lost my interest. And when they finally came out with the dumpster fire of Long Road Out of Eden I was done with them. Id been a Petty fan for years but that's when I put Petty and the Heartbreakers past the Eagles in my opinion. And looking back I don't know why it took me that long. Tom Pettys body of work far surpasses the Eagles. I don't get ga-ga over celebrities very often but when the news broke that Tom Petty died that was a truly a sad day. Still listen to him daily 2020.
These guys are among the greatest but sorry, nobody owns the title of "greatest American rock band ever" more than Aerosmith. They have remained all original for a half-century...minus the one record and tour in the early 80s. They remade themselves to fit into the MTV era. They broke ground with the melding of rock and rap with RUN DMC. Sold 150+ million records...almost twice Tom's commercial success. They have remained relevant (as did Tom) through every musical twist and turn of the last 5 decades...and they're still going strong. I will admit their end of career output was nothing close to as strong as Tom's was but they are truly the kings of American rock.

Aerosmith? They should have quit in 1975, after the 3rd album. How about Chuck Berry with Johnnie Johnson on piano? Buddy Holly and the Crickets? Aerosmith tried to be cool. The Heartbreakers were cool. Big difference...
@@aammdj nah, Aerosmith AND Springsteen----not even in TP&THB's league.
@@aammdj Opinions are fun!
For a lot of us, Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers are the soundtrack of our lives. To me, The Last DJ, MOJO and Hypnotic Eye are the culmination and best of their career. I don't think I have heard one track on the radio from any of these albums and yet they are some of the best emotionally and artistically by this band. So much passion, heart and soul. After seeing this 13 minute video, I now know why this is true for me. I miss this band so much but very thankful I have their music to enjoy.
Most of the stuff that I like is not on the radio
Couldn't agree more. So many great songs in those more recent albums. And there are so many gems hiding in plain sight on older records.
Completely agree!
@@craigtrexler8156 Because we lost the last DJ.
Totally agree. I'm so thankful I was able to see them several times throughout their career. If there was ever a band that seemed to come up with the perfect part on their respective instrument, it was this band. The grooves were killer and lyrics just magical. I miss this band very much.
“More like a Polaroid than a painting.” This is my favorite TP&RH record, and this pretty much sums up why. Tom, I still cry over you.
Don't cry he left all his beautiful musical gifts for us and this beautiful beloved ❤ man is rocking heaven with all his friends. God Bless Him.
I do to
Wish HELP ME would be released somewhere. Such a great song!
Me too!
It really was superb.
Brilliant musicians, doesn't get any better. RIP Tom, you were the best.
Tom I love your songs, all of them but Southern Accents is my favorite. RIP YOU ANGEL!!
I love it when Tom says”let’s let the guitar be the other voice”. Tom Petty, class all the way.”Beautiful Heartbreaker’s”🦆
As usual, Petty's instinct to let Campbell loose on this record was the right move. Man, Mike is just a RIDICULOUS player. Incidentally, Scott Thurston is a very undervalued member of The Heartbreakers. He can do a little bit of everything but his harp playing really opened up this record.
@James Schultz - I definitely agree! 'Wildflowers' and 'MOJO' are their best
D.H. Withers yes for sure Full Moon Fever up there as well Too bad HELP ME never released as far as I know
I’m just now learning about the different members of the band, and I feel bad that this clip is the first I’ve heard of Scott Thurston. It’s been 5 months now and I’ve gone from listening to everyday to listening first thing in the morning. Of course, I’ve loved Tom & really just thought of the “Heartbreakers” as Tom’s band, but Wow! NOW I am always going to think of Mike Campbell as one of the BEST guitarist’s of all times. And Benmont Tench... Can’t think of the Drummer’s name but Stan Lynch also. I LOVE how Tom says he just comes in with a song (or basically a concept) & then let’s it firm as each member contributes! They REALLY ARE SOMETHING ELSE.
@@debbiemeek3741 Steve Ferrone is the drummer you are trying to remember. He joined full time as a Heartbreaker during the Wildflowers recording.
mike campbell is HUGE
I am 24 years old and I really got into Tom Petty's music a couple of years ago and over time he became my favorite artist. Such a true music legend and it's the really only the greatest musicians that have the kind of longevity and talent that he had when it comes to making so many hits over the years. The world definitely needs a better taste in music and I hope that people can find an artist that resonates with them like Tom Petty has resonated with me, because he was such a unique talent and should be celebrated as one of the greatest musicians of all-time. May God rest his soul.
One of the most beautiful expressions about Tom Petty I've ever read...Thank you for sharing your hear in your comment....!
You hear the voice and you know instantly who it is.
Like so many of the legends...his music is truly timeless. None of it sounds dated.
Tom Petty has so many great albums, he is like a fine wine .. Keeps getting better and better
he was the best from the u.s.
Tom Petty was born to entertain and his music will live on.
This documentary is very inspirational, I really think this is a band that young people should really pay attention to. I like Tom Pettys attitude, you can tell he really cares about everything, and he seems very inclusive with the other band members. He seems like a very deep person, good guy.
I'm in my early twenties now, and I grew up listening to them. Always in my rotation of music, and influenced my musicianship a lot. Hit me hard when Tom passed
Im 15 years old and i completly agree. 🤘 R.I.P Tom 😟
I'm 14, listen to them all the time. They kick ass!
@@sercastamere9853 it hit me hard too bought first tom petty n heartbreakers record was then at 16 found out when I turned ph on one morning just came up on ph tp dead horrible noone the same
I remember reading one time how Jeff Beck wouldn’t even ride in the same limo as the band; had his own separate limo, no hanging out ....That’s not THIS band! I LOVE the doc where Tom’s driving a car loaned to him by MTV, he looks like he’s maybe 19 or barely 20, and giving a tour of Gainesville with the guys in the car, no fan belt for AC, and showing the gator farm he used to work on. What a RIOT that one is!
Mike Campbell and Tom Petty are Mojo... this is such a cool CD.. love it, deep and with feeling. Love playing Petty music !
This is an album I would call timeless. I appreciate it more every time I listen to it. And I love listening to Tom talk as much as I do listening to him sing. I wish this promo clip could have been much longer. I find the interaction between the guys to be a real treat.
He always cared about the quality of his music. I wish he took some time to care more about his health, so he could have produced more of it. Quite a loss, and it'll be felt for a long time.
I wish he took better care of himself just so he could feel good and not have any pain or
other health issues bothering him.......just like for anyone who you really care about.
He was so special ......he was the whole package.....songwriter, singer. musician,,
caring person , intelligent, loving, funny, witty, considerate of his bandmates .....I could go on .......
The greatest American Songwriter off our time. #riptompetty #samjones you're a badass #mikecampbell
Excellent album.”MOJO”. Tom Petty is very thoughtful. Like Mike CAMPBELL said, they put out some fucking great music! Peace and Love to the Hearbreaker’s. Sorry for your loss to Steve,, Scotty, Ron, Benmont and Mike. Always in awe of your music. “Great Loss”
Mr. Thomas Earl Petty, your the man. Natural born entertainer. Better than the beatles. Better than the stones. You were born to bring us joy. Rest In Peace, brother. Hope to see you inheaven. Give me a thumbs if you agree. Calm cool and collected. He is the man.
I've listened to the Heartbreakers since '76. They've always been very good (like in the mid-eighties when lots of seventies rockers "lost their way")...but quite often they've been excellent. And since basically "Wildflowers" ('93), they've done whatever they wanted, not worrying so much about making hits, as Mike Campbell comments. And since then, they've become very probably the best band in the USA. Bar none. When I got back and listen to their 70's and early 80's stuff, which is great, I cant' help but feel that somehow, Petty and the Heartbreakers have actually gotten BETTER with time. Like a fine wine. Thanks for posting this!
Man ! You hit the nail right on the head ! I could not have put it better myself !
The early stuff is magnificent as well it's absolutely timeless. His heart and soul are in everything ❤ Tom did. There is no one else like Tom and the HB's what a talented band ! Keep Rocking Heaven Tom!!
SO HARD TO BELIEVE YOU'VE LEFT US TOM...GODSPEED YOU ARE LEARNING TO FLY WITH THE ANGELS
Such a great band. And, very cool to have harmonica in such a big role here.
The problem with this documentary is that it's WAY too short. I love the MOJO-album. The guitars stand out in a pure and killer way. Just superb.
Sometimes, peeking behind the curtain can be a dangerous thing. You may see something you wished you hadn't seen, you may feel different about the subject. Not in this case...if it was any more possible to love TP & The HB's, this documentary has done it. What an honor to see true musical genius at work...all of them. This should be required viewing for any fan of music, especially musicians...from beginners to lifers. This is what real talent and real players look and sound like. Guys that could have phoned it in from a successful 30+ year career but the love of music and each other compelled them to work for something bigger than themselves. Not having to chase the next hit but at peace with where they were at in their career and lives. Thank you to Tom Petty & The Heartbreakers for sharing their music & talent with us.
I still love watching this. Mojo is a special record. Pirates cove and something good coming are incredible
Awesome work. True talent. Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers are a great combination with magical chemistry.
How the hell these guys are this cool? I just discovered this album I had layin' around. Its the best damn album I've heard in many years.
cymbalslasher amen!
Mojo On Man
You must be like me, too many albums, maybe got away from it for a spell, then suddenly you put one on in my case it had been at least 20 years on an oldie, in fact it was Norwegian Wood by Mahogany Rush, & was like “Damn! Man!” Wth?
In fact I’ve vowed to listen to the Full lp of Damn the Torpedoes” today even though I know I’ve heard it 100 times: I might have missed something.
Its amazing!
Always have and always will love this band.
Something good coming always
I feel so at home with these guys
I felt so at home with Robert,
my sweet and lovely guitarman...
for nearly 21 years
...
may he rest in peace
and you know what..
I think he does..
one of the best rock records ever made! Mike shines on this one.
This band's music always takes me down the road. I alway pop in their cds when I am on a road trip. Keeps me awake and alert.
It's very Rare that a Band of this calibre takes you into Sacred Ground and let's you see the creative process that is Legend
"Heartbreaking" beautiful ...
THIS is the stuff I could listen to forever.......!!!
Mr.Tom Petty
the place in the Hall of Fame you have
You deserve.
You have mine
Musical activity always given strength ..
You have done me honor.
Rock in the sky further there you need you
My condolences are to your family
Tom’s The Man! Miss him sooooo!😩
What a 24K solid gold treasure. So freakin cool, I’m falling in love all over again. Tom is gone-too soon, too sad-but tapes like this keep the mojo alive.
Awesome that Tom put Mike Campbell out front with that 59 Les Paul!! Hes as big an influence on guitarists that play for the song as anyone i know that deserves it...Just an awesome band that still sound as fresh as they did in the beginning.
We miss you Tom.they sang Wildflowers at the Grammys last nite.in honor of Tom.and many other in music we lost in 2017.Tom rest in peace and Rock in peace.we love you.
This is about my favorite album by the boys. I’m still missing Tom and want all of The Heartbreaks that they still play a tremendous part in my life.
"more like a polaroid than a painting"....love it
thank god for tom petty and the heartbreakers thats the way to record real art been playing guitar for 44 years love you guys you give me hope
Miss him so much. This is the way bands were meant to be....
this might have been their most accomplished album, every song is a masterpiece.
mojo was the best album that came out that year i think they should have won album of the year they got screwed
I love how great the The Heartbreakers sound playing just what they want.
Petty and band really stepped into the deep end of the pool on this record, which they continued on with HypnoticEye. They’re best stuff imo. RIP Tom,gone,never forgotten.
Tom Petty will always be loved & missed forever.
Very sad about the loss of time. He's the best friend I never met
Yes, exactly! Grew up on their music. Always have been my favorite. What a loss I feel!
So many people feel that way. That's the mark of a true artist and a beautiful soul. The music will live forever.
Exquisite; absolutely perfect.
rip tom god bless
This is most excellent. These guys are true musicians. ROCK ON!!!!!
Miss You Tom Petty,Good Tunes All These Years
Mojo is Tom Petty and The Heartbreakers at their coolest!!!
Great album. Really underrated.
you keep playing your songs Heartbreakers, and we'll always listen, happily and whole heartedly.
absolute genius
There was no one cooler than Tom Petty- his music, his chill ❤❤❤
im going to see them in dallas and houston later this year. i've seen them 6 times and its always good. These guys are rock N roll Royalty. Greatest American rock band ever!!!!!
I found MOJO when it was released. I hadn't listened to Tom and the Band in a long time. But I feel so deeply in Love with this album.
It's in my top 3 of their work.
I LOVE MOJO SO MUCH! Seeing the behind the scenes about the album is fantastic!
Damn straight he is like a fine wine
R.I.P Tom, thanks for the memories,
Toms guys The Heartbrajers and he have played so many years together....exceeleny musicians each and all of them....I only hope someday to hang out somewhere. Small show or perhaps meet those boys! They are professiinal and yet down to earth. They are real....and I love the way they work things out. They work together and have a good time when just hanging out! Take care guys. Love, Pam
This record. is so perfect in so many ways.. absolutely love love love
Campbell is an underrated guitarist IMHO.
Mike Campbell really shines. He can light it up when he wants to
Still digging this C19 summer of 20?? I love this album. I wonder why there's so few live shows with MOJO tunes out there.
MOJO is probably their most rockin album. I love it.
Great Video So Love you Tom and The Heartbreakers Love Mojo and No Reason To Cry Always makes me cry, thinking of my Dear Husband who passed away three years ago we both shared our married life with you and your music. Keep Rockin Guys x
I love this album. It's hard to have a favorite Tom Petty album, by tomorrow it will be another one by them. Tom and his band have been so prolific, with so many fine songs. I don't want to call them "hits". That's degrading to Tom and his bands. Tom wasn't about hits, and then just pumped them out one after the other. Love all of these guys forever. It's a treat to hear them talking it out and cracking jokes. Thanks for an extremely well done video.
Thanks Tom
I am actually the very proud owner of #97 out of 1OOO Produced to the public... it’s a Mint condition 1991 Rickenbacker 66O 12 String Tom Petty Limited Edition.... Ive never really been blown away by any signature guitars, however this is by far my very favorite guitar ... very low action also Rickenbacker set the string spacing as close as they could without the strings vibrating into each other ... giving the effect that the two string pairs begin to feel like one string ... seriously... I could play the 12 string RIC the day I got it, never ever played a 12 in my life, friends in the neighborhood and family Actually can’t believe I’m as decent a player as I have evolved into.... huge Thank You to TOM PETTY and THE HEARTBREAKERS.... FOR INSPIRING ME TO LOVE VINTAGE GEAR..
LEARNING TO FLY F - C - Am - G (Repeat over an over and over until end). No other chord changes at all not even the choruses... if you don’t have a 12 string use a touch of Chorus to try to achieve that octave overtone Rickenbacker Sound it comes fairly close, close enough to play this song .... chords are easy lyrics are as well and Fun as hell to play once you get into the groove of the strumming pattern... jangly RICKENBACKERS. Tom and Mikes love affair is Rare Rickenbackers.... anyways the guitar is patterned from Mike Campbell’s Rickenbacker that Tom is wearing on DAMN THE TORPEDOES. That particular 12 string belongs to Mike ...
I think TP captains a fine crew and the flavor comes thru the mix. It's awesome he's putting out such great stuff and sharing how its done to boot! Ya can't give much more than that can ya? I understand his vision, and appreciate his class.
unlike a britney spears record this wonderful snap shot in time will live on.
yeah when the pop icons of today are forgotten this tom petty record will continue to age well
TP and HB is definitely the BEST road music!!
I love this band, can't wait for hypnotic eye
cool that original bassist Ron Blair is back. forgot about that. and of course, R.I.P. Howie Epstein. both great "Petty" members.
"Oh my God, what a fabulous room!
"Are all these your guitars?"
"God, this place is bigger than our apartment."
Yes, that's what went through my mind when I saw this album for the first time...
Umm..are i feeling ok?
Hello?
Pink floyd lyrics?....i dont get it man?
This is probably my favourite Tom Petty album. Phenominal start to finish
These guys have MOJO and maybe a little voodoo cuz they have put a spell on me. I cannot stop playing these new songs - at work, at play, at home, in the car. And when I heard them at Red Rocks it nirvana. These guys only get better with time. When you think they can't get better they do. No one comes close to em.
I drive a lot, and Mojo is really gets me there! I freakin love this album! You guys just keep getting better!
I always love documentaries on musicians and bands that "Focus" on their music. So this is a great video. I wish more upcoming wanna be pop stars would pay attention to films like this.
Partially because the attention is on The "Heartbreakers" not "TOM PETTY"
Tom has always made mention of how fortunate he feels to have these specific musicians for a band. and this video and of course the album itself shows us all why.
thank You.
Amazing stuff...!
RIP Tom! I've got my vinyl "Damn The Torpedoes" out and spinning. Still sounds just as great 38 years later.
Tom Petty is such a modest composer. Wildflowers album is a wonderful example of his ability to compose with the orcestra the the background. Absolutely love it. It's what sets this band apart from so many, the detail and complexity in the melody. Like Dr. Dre, they 'perfect the beat.' Doesnt get much better than a heart felt Heart Breakers song!
Rest in peace, Tom :)
OH to have the talent, commitment, longevity & friendship this band has. Some guys are jus lucky that way......
tom,and band kept us real miss y'all man sad tonight
I'm still waiting for them to release the full Heartbreakers version of Help Me. As far as I know, it doesn't exist except in this video... Come on guys, I need it! I love that thing.
My thoughts exactally. They do sooo great on that song.
Oh this song Help Me. I wish it had made it on the Mojo album. I love it so much.
Saw them Sat night (June 5) in Oakland. And they ROCKED just like they always do! Already have downloaded their two preview songs from MOJO (part of the online ticket deal). Can't wait for a week from today when I can download the rest!
Live off the floor....I would like to see how many artists...can do this...
Been a fan from the beginning. Every single album has been great. R.I.P. Tom
just do what my mom always told me. if youre happy with what youre doing and if you like what youre doing then do it. and if noone else does to bad for them cause you love it
I have it on cd and BLAST it with 200 watt sony tower speakers,,,,, had my shop door open one day ,,,, and the sheriffs show up, I'm on 5 acres. I tell them no fucking way am I turning it down and leave it blasting. I ask them if i cant crank it up here where can i. They went away,, cause I WONT BACK DOWN.RIP TOM
What a delight to stumble on tonight. I'm a little late but this is wonderful. Just what I needed. Monday, August 1, 2022
GENIUS!!!!!
this stuff just keeps getting better.
love the purity.
Too awesome, can't get enough of Tom and the Heartbreakers.
This is fantastic! I love behind the scenes / behind the music insight, especially of some of the most talented musicians in the world!
already missing you Sir Tom ... may the Light within you burn ever Brighter in Eternity, thank you for sharing your gift with us all
I don't know where this documentary was...never saw it. But thought this documentary was excellent...just too short.
loved getting to see them just hanging out and making great music....and having a great time with eachother 💕 They had a special thing going on.
