Daddy saw him live. I just lost him yesterday. My dad was 67. I'm going to miss him so much. Petty was his favorite. Dad was a surfer growing up in Southern california in the 60s and 70s. Now he is surfing 🏄 a big wave in the sky. I love you Dad.
@@bobloblawslawblog99 jeez, an innocent mistake/typo must equal malice? It's not a dog whistle. You must find those imaginary things everywhere, don't ya. That's just sad.
Listen carefully and you will hear that this song is genius. The harmony, lyrics, the guitars, his timing when he comes in with his voice....God everything. Tom was a brilliant man.
No not really brilliant this song is about going to Hollywood and selling ur soul. And a lot of his videos has Masonic satanic freak symbols like the black and white checkered boards in his music it's actually really easy to see where they stand once you educate yourself on these types of things

It's when you start to stare, you embrace the death of you. That's why one of the hardest lessons in life, is to always keep moving forward, taking breaks along the way is alright. When you stop for too long, you find yourself done for.
Faye Dunaway, Johnny Depp, Matt LeBlanc, Chynna Phillips, Terence Trent D’Arby, and Gabriele Anwar. Amazing lineup for an amazing music video. RIP Tom Petty. You will be missed.
The funny thing is that he saw the future and the story of Johnny Depp & Amber Heard... But maybe it was just that Johnny got so excited about this song that he wanted to be like his character in this video 😂

This is one of the greatest music videos ever made. You had Tom Petty in his creative prime, Johnny Depp, before anyone really knew who he was and a whole lot of Harleys Davidsons from the late 80's. It was a great time in America, with MTV being a big part of it, and this video encapsulated it all perfectly.
Tom Petty gone 3 years today, my heart is still broken, I miss you brother, you have been on my stereo for all of my life, 2 divorces and 3 love kids 11 grandkids and now the great grandkids
Tom Petty has definitely got his own Star in the Heavens of Rockdom. He is an American Treasure, a Classic, like Elvis Presley or something. His music is just so good!!!
Whenever I experience feelings of loneliness or hopelessness, Tom's music has a remarkable ability to uplift my spirits and bring joy to my life. It reminds me how fleeting life is and encourages me not to fret over insignificant matters. Thank you, Tom Petty, for creating music that has such a profound impact in this vast universe.
It has the same effect on me. I love his music and will continue to do so for all my life. No other musician has even come close to Tom Petty when it comes to impacting lives on a deep level, in my opinion.
The last DJ is 1 of my favorite albums. They did that tour and had to sprinkle in a few gold hits in the end but made sure to get the entire Last DJ album on the stage. I was side stage, and it felt like I was watching them in the studio.
One of my greatest regrets was not seeing him live. I heard him with Stevie Nicks but i was outside. His music resonates with me so much. We are so lucky to have had Tom Petty in our lives.
So much I wanted to see Mr. Petty & his Heartbreakers again. Saw them once in my lifetime, in Memphis. Tickets cost $1.03.each! Idol his lyrics, music.
On the CD of Tom Petty's Greatest Hits there's a photograph on the back that shows him and the scoreboard from The Forum and I was there that night that the photograph was taken back in 1980. He was wonderful concert magic power and instruments they played the second to none
@@lonnietennant1681yeah, I saw him in like 08 and I swear the guitar didn't have strings on it and he was physically leaning against the big guy behind him who was actually playing the guitar
I've seen Tom Petty and Heartbreakers many times in my Lucky Life, been a Loving and Adoring Fan since I was 14 in my 60's now, listen to him every day 💘🎩🎸
Its True. The Legend has just passed on into Heaven. See you down that road Mr. Petty, and thank you for all these great songs you leave behind for our generation and every generation to enjoy onward into eternity.
@@MunguiaDJPULP Bought Full Moon Fever cassette in high school and my best friend and i loved every minute of it. Went off to college and I guess started listening to other stuff. Found my old cassette at my parent's house 25 years later which got me interested in his music again . Bought Wildflowers CD on Amazon for $5 and I think it's actually better than Full Moon Fever. Amazing CD!! Then he passes away. I think his music will come back in popularity by the younger generation I really do.
This video is such an excellent time capsule for the early 1990s. It is a fictional story filled with a lot of truth on the music industry, Hollywood, fame and the future for Johnny Depp.
I love each creation that God made it with out any body help.so bless you allways Lois Williams Bentley and l can't see 👀 good looking grand son jake olivia beautiful and always will be.
I was 26 when this came out driving a truck cross country hauling explosives and Tanks and other vehivles trying to not blow myself up I am almost 56 now and still love kicking back and listening to Tom
I had the pleasure of seeing Tom live on his 40th anniversary tour and celebrating my 40th bday. Just months before he died. I'll never forget that concert. More packed than any other concert I've ever been to and in the presence of a legend. RIP Tom. ❤
I have seen tom in Louisville, Ky. I loved that concert. It was packed. 😍. I have sung every song, but it was so loud that I could not even hear 👂 my own voice. My ears 👂 were still ringing after one week after the show. 🤪🤪🤪🥰🥰🥰
My dad spent 100’s to see him one night in Chicago then drove to Milwaukee with his friend from HS my brother and I to see him the next night. Im so glad he spent the money to see him just months before his passing. My dad was devastated with Tom’s passing but grateful he spent the cash. Idk why im even writing this...
@BatMan-og9cw he plays guitar just fine. I've played with him and he is a guitar player. Is he EVH.. no, just a competent player and writer. SEEMS TO HAVE WORKED!!
Back in the summer of 2014, I had this really bad volunteer job at an airport museum. The boss was an asshole, but I remember this song getting me through the hours of doing all the mundane tasks he had for me to do; really, Tom Petty helped me get through a really infuriating time in my life, and I thank him for that.
From one of the best albums ever in rock. Every song a gem. Tom didnt just write songs. He wrote anthems. He captured life in music and lyrics. His work rises above mere entertainment and its become art. Proud to have lived in his hometown for a spell back in the late 80's in Gainesville Fl.
Rick Rubin told a story of Petty, one of the most humble artists to walk this Earth.....Tom would steer clear of going out in the public because of his superstar status...RIP TP! MUCH LOVE!
there is a deeper teuth behind this. tom petty isnt lecturing like a god-father from above for no reason. eddie is not free, hes on a destruction derby. hence "a rebel without a clue (about freedom)" i prepared a longer work analysis about this, but its german im afraid. :)
Love this song. I'm actually incorporating the song title into a tattoo I'm getting tomorrow in memory of my sister who was a huge Tom Petty fan. She passed away in May and I know she would love it. She is "into the great wide open." Rest in awesome, Kim Rossi Nov. 16, 1971--May 12, 2020 A rebel without a clue.
+Robert Kunze No, this one here is Gabrielle Anwar, if you know her from somewhere else it's probably the movie "Scent of a Woman" and the tango-scene with Al Pacino ;-)
You took those exact words out of myself as a 43 year old man myself never really appreciated Tom like the grown ups around me during the late 80's early 90's. The man was always a genius but to me in disguise at that time 😢 RIP Tom🙏🏼
There is no justice in Rock N Roll Heaven, Mick is healthy as a horse and yet a legend like Tom dies way to young! Have a safe journey Tom, into the GREAT WIDE OPEN!
I have loved this song (and Tom Petty) forever. Years later after becoming a total fangirl for JOHNNY DEPP, found out he's in the video for this song! Nothing could be better. 💘
@Inster_ber_ I thought that was Johnny Depp. I'm curious how you found out. There's another video out in the early 90s by The Lemonheads called It's A Shame About Ray that features a young Johnny Depp or at least a close lookalike.
@@alekos2740 I'm talking 'bout the fact that he ended just like in this video, fighting his wife, banned in half Hollywood and even in movies where he was the principal character... I thought that was pretty obvious, everyone here knows that he was already famous...
"He met a girl out there with the tattoo too." Tom Petty was Badass! Thanks for the truly innovative, original, unique, timeless songs/lyrics. Thanks for the inspiration. Thanks for the memories (which are many). RIP Tom! You will be missed, more than words can say...
this is one of the songs that made me understand why I wasn't into the same kind of music my friend listened to... still think Johnny would have been an hell of a rockstar.
dnon75 welll...it depends on who you are. I've heard that someone called Paul or Mick or David is not poor. And by the way....being a rockstar is funnier in itself!
He can play guitar very well. Judging by the response he got when he played with Marilyn Manson at The Golden Gods Awards in 2012, he is a rockstar as well as an actor

I've immediately thought about The Beatles and a softer version of Oasis)
I really didn't appreciate this song when it came out. It's quite brilliant.

No not really brilliant this song is about going to Hollywood and selling ur soul. And a lot of his videos has Masonic satanic freak symbols like the black and white checkered boards in his music it's actually really easy to see where they stand once you educate yourself on these types of things

not to forget Faye Dunaway
Tom always surrounded himself with the BEST !!!! 💔 My heart is breaking.
his songs told stories that were sometimes reflections on Americana the good the bad and the ugly, but tempered with humor and hope. r.i.p.
Danke MM. I was just trying to remember all the names to faces. Problem solved
Pretty sure I saw Dustin Hoffman in there as well.

The song is legendary, even though it was really just a minor hit for Petty. The video is unforgettable.

Shouldn't have been a minor should have been a number-one cuz I'm listening to it right now
a young johnny depp as eddie!
This song was far too good to be on radio rotation.
@@keithn4304It was on rotation alright....for the next 25 yrs probably after its release.

The boss was an asshole, but I remember this song getting me through the hours of doing all the mundane tasks he had for me to do; really, Tom Petty helped me get through a really infuriating time in my life, and I thank him for that.
MrMortsnarg fucking same :(
Beautiful story!!! I've loved me some airport museums... 😍

If it sucked such major ass, why didn't you just quit? It's not like volunteer work is known for it's high pay...
Timeless music with the magic touch of Jeff Lynne. A blessing
Jeff's touch is what makes this song so very very good.
This song was written and produced with Jeff Lynne
Tom Petty one of the best songwriters. Superb song!
Perfect for driving the road
@@guillermomoreno5541 Dang right :)
From one of the best albums ever in rock. Every song a gem. Tom didnt just write songs. He wrote anthems. He captured life in music and lyrics. His work rises above mere entertainment and its become art. Proud to have lived in his hometown for a spell back in the late 80's in Gainesville Fl.
Indeed, always thought that Tom was a great story teller and a great musician. I guess that,s the recepe for all these beautiful songs
To get to live in his childhood hometown...
You got lucky...
#TomPetty #TomPettyforever
Rick Rubin told a story of Petty, one of the most humble artists to walk this Earth.....Tom would steer clear of going out in the public because of his superstar status...RIP TP! MUCH LOVE!
To get past the pain of losing Tom and fill my ears with this awesome music is a joy!
My eight-month-old baby sleeps with this music. thank you ❤️
One of my biggest regrets in life was not going out of my way to see Tom live. I always thought there was time.
Great Lyric "A Rebel Without A Clue." ♣
there is a deeper teuth behind this. tom petty isnt lecturing like a god-father from above for no reason. eddie is not free, hes on a destruction derby. hence "a rebel without a clue (about freedom)"
i prepared a longer work analysis about this, but its german im afraid. :)
This is how videos supposed to be . Great actors as well !
Me at the end: “Wait, was that Joey from friends?” Turns out it was! What a star studded video
Damn, I sure miss Tom Petty, Th e Heartbreakers, and the Great, Great music that they made for all of us!!!!!!!! sgl
Love this song. I'm actually incorporating the song title into a tattoo I'm getting tomorrow in memory of my sister who was a huge Tom Petty fan. She passed away in May and I know she would love it. She is "into the great wide open."
Rest in awesome, Kim Rossi
Nov. 16, 1971--May 12, 2020
A rebel without a clue.
I hope you live a happy life and live on to one day see your sister in heaven
Good taste.
So young. 😮
Into the great unknown Tom, travel well buddy.
+Robert Kunze No, this one here is Gabrielle Anwar, if you know her from somewhere else it's probably the movie "Scent of a Woman" and the tango-scene with Al Pacino ;-)
He is in Heaven now! Someday we will all have front rows to his shows!
He's now with his fellow Wilburys Rob Orbison and George Harrison.
Just have a look at this clip! Jonny Depp, Bonnie of Clyde fame. Keep looking
David Murphy 😳
Jman👀
this is probably my favorite tom petty song.
You know, as a younger man, I never much cared for Tom's music. Now, as a 38 year old man... I finally get it. I am most definitely a fan. 🙂
You took those exact words out of myself as a 43 year old man myself never really appreciated Tom like the grown ups around me during the late 80's early 90's. The man was always a genius but to me in disguise at that time 😢 RIP Tom🙏🏼
There is no justice in Rock N Roll Heaven, Mick is healthy as a horse and yet a legend like Tom dies way to young! Have a safe journey Tom, into the GREAT WIDE OPEN!
Ha! Yep...And if there were ever a nuclear apocalypse, 2 things would survive...Cockroaches, and Keith Richards.
satanic fuck
Well..... if you were the big man, who would you bring in to play this weekend?
You mean there is no justice on Earth. That is where biological beings die. Smoking stuff is bad for the lungs
Yeah because mick isn’t a legend...
Hard to think he's not with us anymore. He was a gift to the music industry.
His songs sounded so simple but were catchy as hell.! Musical genius.
Tom was a humble guy
RIP Tom Petty... Thank you for the music you gave us, and the effect youve had on the Music Industry.
One of the greatest songwriters of all time.
Sure do miss the MTV days when they played the good music. RIP Tom Petty.
He didn't die he just went into the great wide open
While he was running down a dream
Yes this is true......
He free fell, out into nothing. He had to leave this world for a while.
You're being petty.
Thought he was just learning to fly
how much sweet and humanistic an artist can be...what a melody, what a pity, Tom...miss you
I have loved this song (and Tom Petty) forever. Years later after becoming a total fangirl for JOHNNY DEPP, found out he's in the video for this song! Nothing could be better. 💘
@Inster_ber_ I thought that was Johnny Depp. I'm curious how you found out. There's another video out in the early 90s by The Lemonheads called It's A Shame About Ray that features a young Johnny Depp or at least a close lookalike.
And Joey from Friends is at the end too.
I thought that was him! Cool!
Another Jeff Lynne written classic. What an incredible song writer he is,
co written by Jeff and Tom
Hi I Recommend a Favourite New indie rock song I came across Called 'the Bond Villain' by Robert Nix
And they all lived happily ever after
-Tom Petty
May the LORD welcome you Tom....you brought so much joy into our lives. We will miss you.....
So it is 😞😞😞
LORD OF THE RINGS? ONION RINGS?
Amber vs Johnny song with love from Warrington (Lewis Carol) xxxx ruclips.net/video/2rHiVJFjers/видео.html.
Johnny Depp just being himself is hilarious... How could Tom see the future?
Johnny Rebel Songs
My exact thought
Jhonny deep was already very famous at the time 21jump street and some movies!! 🤦🏻♂️
@@alekos2740 I'm talking 'bout the fact that he ended just like in this video, fighting his wife, banned in half Hollywood and even in movies where he was the principal character...
I thought that was pretty obvious, everyone here knows that he was already famous...
haha my thoughts exactly, it's uncanny a little or it's just typical road to and from stardom, fame is not most stable thing in this world, you know?
love ya Tom. Only artist I found so relatable. Having a bad day? Quick fix is anything Tom Petty. Shout out to my daddy for showing me real music.
RIP Tom. You have truly gone into the great wide open.
RIP Tom
ARMundra my parents had me listen to and watch this instead of cartoons I grew up with Tom rip
Into the grave wide open
I'm not English speaker, anybody can tell me What is "Into the great wide open" Significate?
@@b420xd8 A great wide open signifies a mass of open land the term is usually used metaphorically to signify endless opportunities
"He met a girl out there with the tattoo too." Tom Petty was Badass! Thanks for the truly innovative, original, unique, timeless songs/lyrics. Thanks for the inspiration. Thanks for the memories (which are many). RIP Tom! You will be missed, more than words can say...
Thank you, Tom Petty. Gone but not forgotten,
The epitome of true rock and roll American boy from Florida as Good as it gets.
This video changed my life when I was a kid!
In what way?
Same.
Really ? In what way ?
you're an accountant now instead of a mega star? same here! ;-)
BlackAdder665 Ha! No regrets!
LETS GO JOHHNY
this is one of the songs that made me understand why I wasn't into the same kind of music my friend listened to... still think Johnny would have been an hell of a rockstar.
Movies pay more!
dnon75 welll...it depends on who you are. I've heard that someone called Paul or Mick or David is not poor. And by the way....being a rockstar is funnier in itself!
He can play guitar very well. Judging by the response he got when he played with Marilyn Manson at The Golden Gods Awards in 2012, he is a rockstar as well as an actor
I was joking, talking about his appearance. I admire him as an actor, but he'd better let his guitar at home. What the hell happened to MM....
It was a real blow when he passed. Great music and memories
This music video is one of the reasons the 90s kicks ass!
