Man I was so excited to watch his movie You People and….it was terrible
@@harryhanz1690 agreed.
Worst Eddie movie ever.
@@ponolovefarms3926 I can’t remember the last good Eddie Murphy movie.
why surprised most if not all woke movies suck,name one that been a money maker
@@rnrtruestories coming to America is the only one I can think of
If you’re gonna be petty, be Tom Petty
LMAO.
noice
@JARED BARATTA Corny, yet satisfactory.
If you're gonna be Murphy...
@JARED BARATTA just in the navy huh? 😂
Eddie was really mad at Tom because Tom's girl didn't like to party all the time, party all the time, party all the tiiiiime
😂😂😂
😂😂😂 Dead. 👻
Hahaha
Btw I loved the Henry Rollins Taxi Driver music video....
She didn't like to potty all the either
Hahaha
For someone who's a comedian Eddie Murphy sure can't take a joke. He got mad at David Spade for a dumb joke on SNL too.
Most comedians can't. They're full of 💩.
I'm sure Spade isn't even a thought in Murphy's mind now. Spade is the falling star currently. Fun-making is catchy.
@@mick4316.he's doing more than Eddie these days
I like David Spade . Him and Chris Farley are two of my top favorite movie makers to laugh to. Eddie Murphy has poked fun at many people during his comedic years . I like Eddie, but he cannot take a joke... Mr. Rogers could!
Eddie Murphy best known for being Mike Myers jackass yet can’t take a joke!?! Go figure lol
How can anyone hate Tom Petty? Seemed like such a pure soul.
I’d be honored to be mentioned in any Tom Petty song….
In any way , shape or form LOL!
Tom could said anything he wanted about me and it would've been all good!
True. True
@@geetarman ha! Good one!
@@geetarman lol.
@@geetarman 😂😂😂
Eddie made his whole comedic career making fun of EVERYONE! He did vicious put downs on Garrett Morris, made a quip bout Richard Pryor’s accident, making fun of Liberace’s sexuality, Michael Jackson, James Brown’s speech pattern, etc all on SNL. He seems to be someone that can dish it out but can’t take it. Kinda sad really.
Eddie takes it alright just ask the trans dude he got busted with
@@gzuspeterson4748 he was just giving him a ride
@@craigbfolksinger
I JUST KNEW I would see this somewhere in the thread...!
Very true!
YES!!!
I miss Tom Petty so much, a tragic loss.
yes. Junkies bring ruin.
@@geraldbennett7035 He wasn't a junkie.
@@geraldbennett7035he had a heart condition I believe
If TOM PETTY and BOB DYLAN think enough of you to put your name in a song....you are SOOOO FREAKN' LUCKY in my book!!!
Eddie is the living embodiment of "can dish it out but can't take it."
What are you talking about, he just said “fuck Tom Petty”? He didn’t try to fight him, he didn’t try to get the song taken off the airwaves or any of that, it’s a pretty Pat for the course response.
@@Rubberbandfan1 cool story bro
@@charlesdjones1 Fuck Charles Jones! See how normal a response that is now?
wow some nonepistemologist has gotta be right
fcku this shti except youtube doesn't let people say that any more
probably because in 40 years charles will want to call you on it huh charles
you like baio charles? charles in charge charles? eeeeeeeey
💯💯👍
I always wondered if Eddie Murphy hated Tom Petty. Many sleepless nights.... Now I know!
Now I know, I can't sleep anymore!
I know
I only went along with this because the video was 3 minutes
Congratulations. This just goes to show, never give up. Eventually many mysteries will be solved and we can all sleep well again.
@@mezzb yeah it's even more of a dilemma now that he's a corpse.
now we can hate him for it as well. boy he sure could dish it out but he sure couldn't take it huh
see all you cute tavistock kids in 40 years
Tom Petty was part of the last 40 yrs! He is amazing! He will be missed. Man he could sing!
And Eddie Murphy is a has been with great movies early on and garbage movies more recently. 😂
Woah, give the man credit where credit is due.
Eddie Murphy was part of 48 hours AND Another 48 Hours.
48 is bigger than 40 and 48 twice is bigly more than 40.
So there’s that.
but eddie is rich...... and still breathing
Tom had no range, sang off beat and always sounded drunk. Compare with his pal Eddie Money. Now, THAT is a great voice!
@@kathy2trips yet hundreds of millions folks around the world still love to hear his music.
Isn’t that beautiful! 😃
Classic case of you can dish it out but cant take it!. Rest Easy Tom 💔
Love Tom Petty forever and always!
Sensitivity is something I have a hard time grasping. I try to see where he is coming from but honestly just laugh that a grown man gets upset that easily.
He said 3 words about it one time.
@@marijuasher I'm glad count Dracula helped you.
Take that sensitivity and multiply it by about 1 billion and you have today's society
I never knew that I needed to know Eddie Murphy hates Tom Petty 😂
I know why I'm I wasting my life watching this
@@BostonMike68 because someone has you at gunpoint? Why else would you willingly waste your time and then announce it to the world like you’ve got no control of your faculties?
@@joshuaDstarks it was a joke relax buddy.
@@joshuaDstarks first time on the internet???
Fuck me! I’ve gotten pissed about some socio/political shit and wasted my time and energy in the comments, but this is a retarded hill to stand on
I don't know, after The Adventures Of Pluto Nash and Norbit, they can definitely take Eddie Murphy back.
He has been a trainwreck in every of his "comedy" movies. All of them are toilet humor, burps humor, buggers humor... The dude has this 6 years old kids humor that even I couldn't like at that age. He should have always been a stand up comedian but dude thinks too high of himself, in his mind he is Hollywood material only.
@@karlimo4034 I completely agree.
Norbit is hilarious
@@harryhanz1690 Not questioning his money earning abilities but his "artistic" ones. Garbage sells, not doubt about it, but that doesn´t mean garbage is good.
@@karlimo4034 yeah but Dr. Dolittle, despite fitting your description perfectly. has to be a family movie comedy classic. It's got plenty of heart and originality to counter all the somewhat cliche' toilet humor, which still hits pretty hard imo.
Murphy insulted Petty first! Called him the ugliest rocker ever! I saw it! I’ve been a petty fan since 78!
"Take back your front wheel drive,," my favorite line in this song.
lol
Eddie Murphy is even more thin-skinned than Will Smith, only difference being he hasn't physically attacked anyone yet.
For a comedian he can’t take a joke can he?! Screw Eddie, Tom was an amazing musician.
I agree ! both are really excellent at what they were doing. Im missing Eddie's actor performances in movies like Beverly Hills Cop or Golden Child etc.
Please explain how it was a joke ,
@@arthurriley5856 oh, trying to be “savage”?? Idiot!
@@arthurriley5856 It's Not a joke. He said, Eddie can't take a joke about himself. But, he can surely dish jokes on everyone else around him.
Thought he was partying all the time too much to care...
I feel Tom. At that time, Eddie, Joey, and Vanessa where ubiquitous. It was impossible to escape them.
And the 'TEN CENT WORD AWARD' goes tooooooo.....
Tony Ennis for dropping the word "ubiquitous" into a sentence. 👏 prompting no less thsn than 13 people to Google the word "ubiquitous".
The word ubiquitous itself certainly isn't ubiquitous.
🎉 congratulations Tony🎉
@@AlmostReady504 thanks, I have worked hard to develop my lexicon to the 12th grade level!
Doc Holliday:
Hear that darlin’? That’s Latin.
That means our Mr. Ringo is an educated man.
Now I really hate him.
@@michaelholmstrom595 you don't even know him.
@@AlmostReady504 Now you only need to use ubiquitous, one more time in a sentence and you too will own the word.
Eddie always had insecurities. Within the context of the song, all it really implies is he was a huge star whose name everyone would recognize.
I'm guessing Murphy had some other previous petty issue with Petty and assumed the song was being negative. Possibly because Murphy did a less than flattering skit or joke about Petty and assumed it was a payback dis.
Music has plenty of epic examples, From Lynyrd Skinner and Neil Young, to Toby Keith and the Dixie Chicks.
@@lennychorn147Neil Young is an agitator in hippie clothes and always was. He destroyed everything he was a part of. Nobody would have tolerated him for a minute if it weren't for that golden voice.
@@justfellover What's your point?
I rode a Team Murray BMX bicycle in 1980 with a boombox tied to the handlebars listening to Tom Petty And The Heartbreakers Damn The Torpedos Cassette
Ah ha - but he never said he had nothing against Joe Piscopo! Now there's a heartbreaker of a story
Tom apologized to both of them publicly said it was nothing personal. He said they just happened to be on TV when the verse was being written.
@@Multiverse14G3c Why would Petty apologize? There was no malice behind the the lyrics. If anything, they were recognition of their fame and success in entertainment.
Fuck Joe Piscopo. They let him come on Star Trek, pretty much as himself. The episode was neither good scifi nor funny. Slight value for Data's character development, but they could have handled that in a more entertaining way.
"information overload in the 80's" How cute
That's what I was thinking. Looking back it was a time of relative freedom and innocence of the things that make up today.
haha🤣
In contrast to present day it does seem comical.
The contrast from the 70s to the 80s and the media overload was tremendous. I was there and saw the transition.
Murphy has a history of being overly sensitive. 🥺😢 😭😭
During his heyday Eddie Murphy made fun of several celebrities. He did several non-flattering impressions of Bill Cosby, James Brown, Mr. Rogers, Richard Pryor, and especially Michael Jackson. He had it coming.
This Title alone gives you a thumb's up. The quality video was merely a bonus! 🤣 Thanks!
35 years ago and Petty was talking about media overload then. Imagine what he'd think now.
petty was jealous because he wasn’t in the media 🤣🤣
100 years from now people will still be listening to Tom Petty, Eddie Murphy not so much.
Tom Petty in concert was always a great time. Can't recall him playing that particular song live.
I used to get free luxury box tickets at Charlotte NC Verizon amphitheater. I got to see Tom twice. It was amazing!!! Then my husband had to go and retire so no more luxury box seats. Dammit.
Think he played it in 1989 and again in his 1999 tour.
Now I need to listen to this song. I remember when it came out, never thought it was all that great but I'm glad it pissed off Eddy Murphy
Eddie's only pissed because he knows how beloved Tom will always be, while Eddie can only hope to be tolerated. He runs his mouth about everyone else and his schtick got old a long time ago. Love you, Tom. We miss you down here.
He was upset that he didn’t get top billing over Piscopo
tom petty can never be as famous as eddie!
Are you seriously trying to downplay the biggest comedian of all time?
Edddie Murphy i way more of household name. Cultural wise, ain’t no nigga ever heard of Tom petty 😭
Tom Petty and Heartbreakers put out some awesome music.
Eddie was already pissed at Tom because the Heartbreakers refused to cover "Party all the Time" on the "Southern Accents" album.
Tom Petty will always be beyond words!! He was truly a master and true artist!!
I love Tom Petty songs .period.
I prefer Eddie Murphy’s jokes over Tom Petty’s music.
Tom Petty is a legend. Eddie Murphy is a footnote.
@@scottodonnell7121 depends. Eddie Murphy revolutionized stand up. Do you think Tom Petty revolutionized bluesy rock and roll?
@@ChannoBonanno how's that? Redd Fox and Richard Pryor were doing edgy, adult stand up before he did. And Lenny Bruce.
TRIGGERED
Note to Chris Rock...no Eddie Murphy jokes
Slap!
👍😂😂😂
Awesome work, thanks.
If Eddie Murphy hates Tom Petty, than I hate Eddie Murphy.
Well that seem rather pe . . aw nevermind.
@@noyfb4769nice one
It’s okay to not give a toss about any of these people or their problems
This song is so relevant nowadays
Didn't know Dylan wrote the lyrics pretty cool 👍
Of course..they were in Travelling Wilburys after all.
If you’re into Tom petty and the Heartbreakers Mike Campbell’s recent Gibson Tv spot with Mark Agnesi here on RUclips showing off some of his guitars is a fantastic watch.
Then again they all are worth watching. Like Brian Ray.
Guitar shaped pool 🎸
Eddie Murphy really needs to cultivate a sense of humour!
Rich brat cryer
i remember that situation and MURPHY was not happy...i've kinda wondered in passing if those guys had ever met each other at some point years later and that line came up in conversation...TOM never gave me the impression of a guy looking for controversy
Rock N' Roll True Stories thanks for doing the story Syd.. I thought it was interesting.
You're Jammin' Me is my all time Favorite Petty song. I even did a satire version played on the Johhny B show on the Loop Chicago called You're Scammin' Me.
My personal frustration with Tom Petty comes from years of trying to play his songs in Rocksmith! Fantastic songs, super hard in places. My 69 year old fingers can't keep up 😞
I feel ya dude. 😪
you can’t be serious, nothing tom petty has ever done is hard 🤣🤣🤣
@@fu9779 I guess that is a matter of perspective.
@@aikidoshi007 It is. I'm with on on this bud. 😉
For a comedian /actor ,Eddie Murphy needs to go away.
Tom Petty will live forever!
👽
Imagine the greatest songwriter, including your name in a song and getting mad about it.
wow i had forgotten this channel used to be rock band 4 news, blew my mind. congrats on all the views u get now
Eddie Murphy doesn’t have a sense of humor?
His brother Charlie was the funny one.
@@mooseymoosemay he rest in peace
@@JK-gm6kk Absolutely!
Not really back then at least. David Spade famously made an innocuous and tame joke about him on SNL back in the day and Eddie personally called him at work the next Monday to curse him out. So this aint too surprising.
Raw and Delirious are still classic though
I think you undersold just how big of a star Eddie Murphy was in the mid 1980s. He was famous in a way that's not even positive today. He and Michael Jackson were probably the two most famous people on the planet at that time.
Those two and Bill Cosby...
@@Piece-O-Pie Not nearly at the same level of appeal.
Cosby fame was from longevity and national. Where Jackson and Murphy fans were cross generational and international. Jackson obviously for his music and live tours. Murphy was the entertainment world's 'Golden Boy', that the public loved. Comedy, Movies and an attempt at a singing career, along with guest appearances on television, he was everywhere.
Rick James was big too...
Tom Petty did all right back then, too
....along with prince!
Poor Eddie Murphy.
Some can dish it out but they sure can’t take it.
Who’s Eddie Murphy?
He’s a washed up comedian/actor from the early 80’s, hasn’t done anything memorable since
Donkey from Shrek
Maybe it's been covered or brought up in the comments but this made me think of Joe DiMaggio being upset with Paul Simon about the line from "Mrs. Robinson" until Paul sat down with him and explained what he meant by it.
Thanks for not dragging this video out for 10 minutes. ❤❤
I could care less what Eddie Murphy thinks about anything
And then Tom died, leaving Joe Piscopo to wonder why their beef was never settled.
Tom Fetty
Invo is always nice. Thank you.
I always thought Eddie Murphy would be a real jerk in real life.
I’ve heard that song many times, and I caught the names Joe Piscopo and Vanessa Redgrave, but I didn’t quite understand what Tom was singing when he said “Eddie Murphy”
Some might say Eddie is being petty, Tom Petty.
That song was totally some top 40 fluff that we could have done without.
That entire album is 💯💯👍👍 every song 👍✅
Hey! Eddie. Don't Come Around Here No More!
Speaking of the 80's, Clubber Lang invited Rocky's wife Adrian to stop by his apartment one night, nothing was said about it in the news 🤔
Did she stop by his apartament?
@@karlimo4034 Absolutely not. She went and hooked up with the robot from 4. It's brought up in Balboa.
@@karlimo4034 Rumor has it they fought about it
One thing, Eddie Murphy forgot if someone’s talking about you good or bad you’re relevant!
That's a shame, it was never about Eddie. He was just on tv and in the news at the time, at least that's how I thought about it.
I was today years old when I learned “And the Apple in young Steve’s eye” was about Steve Jobs. He wasn’t as well known when the song was released.
I guess Eddie Murphy massive inflated ego got the last laugh with Petty's tragic passing. Petty and Dylan's song line was PERFECTLY apt.
How is it possible to hate Tom Petty. Absolute legend
It could have been worse.
He could have mentioned Eddie on the song "Don't come around here no more"
Everyone in this comment section is so scandalized over Murphy’s response but if someone you’d never met wrote a pop song telling you to go away and you heard it on the radio and on TV a bunch of times you’d probably be like “f that guy” too.
Thank you.
Interesting, I remember those lyrics, but never heard about the back story or the ripple effect!!😮
Reporters kicking up dirt. Eddie probably would've never heard it or cared
Oh look a falling star, make a wish! - David Spade on Eddie Murphy.
I heard Tom Petty talk about this before. He just told Eddie Murphy sorry but Bob Dylan wrote it because that is the truth. I don't think there was actual hate going on there.
I never heard that story. But Jammin Me is not one of my favs. Can’t believe it made in to #1.
Eddie’s music career tho
Fizzled pretty quickly after the 80s
Eddie needs to focus on keeping his transgender nightlife girlfriends happy.
parTy all the time 😂😂
You got it all wrong. Eddie was pissed for being mentioned in the same sentence as Piscapo. 😂
I've been a Tom Petty fan for almost 7 years since his death. I have no idea that he made a diss track about Eddie Murphy.
And also I realized one of the tracks from that album "Think About Me" has nothing to do with the one from Fleetwood Mac's Tusk (which is a Lindsey and Christine song btw, that one I like better than the Tom Petty one. Plus Tusk is SO underrated!)
Eddie Murphy is a very sensitive narcissist. Not surprised!
I had forgotten about that song.
Cuz Tom has so many other great songs.
no, it’s because you forgot about tom 🤣
God but i miss the 80's. If there is a heaven they had better hand me a Swatch at the pearly gates and start playing the Miami vice theme as Tom Petty opens the gates and shows me around.
I love Eddie Murphy and Tom Petty! Wondered about the title, until remembered how Eddie was mentioned in "Jammin' Me". I always wondered about that. Well, now we know that Tom had nothing against Eddie or Vanessa Redgrave. He didn't mention Joe Piscopo, but it could've been an oversight. Now I wonder if Bob Dylan meant to slight them, or if he meant no harm and just randomly chose names of celebs. Bob Dylan fan, too.
He doesn't like it because it was said by a White man.
@@scottodonnell7121 Explain please.
Alternative title: "Eddie Murphy has thin skin, gets mad."
Eddie has always been a soft one. 😏
Ed's proof the Amistad hatchet will NEVER be buried. I refuse to pay for the last 150 yrs. Way too heavy a debt.
The more I learn of him and the more I hear of his stand up "comedy," the less I like Eddie Murphy
Really he's singing about music as a whole being put in a corner and tv / movies becoming the new norm that everyone wanted to watch.
Also listen to the song Think About Me from the same album.
Your boyfriends got a brand new car... got a compact disk, got a VCR. Owning these things also were all new 80s to a lot of people.
From what I read years ago, there was no issue. He heard about his name being in the song, called Petty's people and asked them what was up with that. It was explained that the song was constructed by random words and names being thrown in. The discussion resulted in Murphy being invited to appear in the video, which he did.
Oh oh... even before I watch this... and I'm not actually a fan... but Tom Petty is everybody's nice guy rock star. Like Dave Grohl, or something. Ok roll it!
Average number of times a Tom Petty fan listens to his music: Infinite, since we're still doing it.
Average number of times an Eddie Murphy fan watches his movies: 1
not true
If Eddie would have known that Bob wrote the lyrics, he'd have appreciated it, lol.
Bob Dylan also hated Coming 2 America...along with everyone else.
Eddie needs to let that go! A stupid beef with Tom Petty. I am a black dude, and I like Eddie. However, I am a huge fan of Tom Petty. Tom Petty was a cool and gritty artist. Eddie’s name being mentioned in a song is cool. Shows that Eddie came to mind. Is that really something to get all twisted about? Nope! Peace.
@Darin
You seem like a very cool, level-headed guy! I think a "self-deprecating sense-of-humor" is one of the greatest attributes a person can have. And so I can't really understand anyone getting so bent out of shape by such a vague comment like "Take back Eddie Murphy". If I'd been Eddie, I'd have replied with something like, "Take me back to... where? My childhood? My 12th grade Math teacher's class? The bar? OK! THE BAR. But *you're* buying, Tom!"
.
Incidentally, Darin, I'd buy you a beer at the bar any time, Brother!
Out of curiosity, do you have a favorite Tom Petty album?
@@D-FensDogG -Yeah, probably “ Damn the Torpedos”. It’s hard to pick just one because I like them all. However, if I could only pick one, it would have to be that one. Sorry, no beer drinking for me. I am a recovering addict, with over 13 years clean and sober. Crack was my drug of choice. I had to give it up (including alcohol, although I use to love wine). Life is so much better today. I have been a Tom Petty fan since the 80’s. I remember all his cool and crazy videos. Tom had that gritty rock-n-roll. The kind of music where you pull the top down on the convertible on a clear night while you go 50 in a 30mph without a care in the world. I miss Tom Petty. I hated when he died. However, he left a great body of work. Thanks for the comment. Keep the PEACE.
@@darincampbell171 Congratulations on being clean & sober 13 years! It's a sign of great character when someone recognizes a serious problem and works to correct it!
.
Yeah, 'Damn The Torpedoes' was a great one. For me, that one is pretty much a dead even tie for the #2 spot with the self-titled debut. I've got 'Hard Promises' at #1, primarily because there's so much in that album that I can relate to in a very personal way. Rock on, Brother!
@@D-FensDogG - I shall! Please, do the same. Peace.
So very eloquently stated.
Meanwhile Joe Piscopo was super-thankful and ever-grateful to be name-dropped! 😂
Lol The Opie & Anthony show ripped that poor guy apart 😂
