Tex Perkins joins The RocKwiz Orkestra to perform the Warren Zevon classic as part of the RocKwiz Salutes The Decades - The 70s episode on SBS June 13 2015.
I've always thought that Tex Perkins looks like Chewbacca if he was shaved ... It's not so evident here but if you look up The Cruel Sea live you'll see it! The Cruel Sea are a great band anyway
Warren Zevon's Werewolves of London is a great song, and Warren does a great performance. However, it's not often that a cover version of a song is as good as or better than the original, but this really is! Great execution and amazing sound quality! Turn it up!!🙂👍
Best version of this song ever, there is a huge gap to next best, whoever that it. Rarely heard a song sung in such a way the singer could be the subject. Just awesome.
Tex is not underrated. He's the most legendary front man, fronting the legendary Beasts of Bourbon, Cruel Sea, the Johnny's, the Dark Hoses Tex Don and Charlie, Ring of Fire. He is a living legend, thank you and you're welcome
The irony is Warren Zevon thought this song was awful mostly because of the lyrics. The problem - the music was too good and now we have a song we all love and this version does it much credit in the vocal area.
For sure. A towering figure in person. Saw him at the Tote in Melbourne tears back. But when you listen to his solo stuff you realise he's quite a sensitive man.
That's the best I've ever heard that song done , other than Warren Zevon I think was the first one that recorded that ... If I'm wrong Plz correct me . So good right there and that man could sing the phone book with the voice he's got !!
the Kris Kristofferson of Aust with a dash of Morrison, Cash & Lemmy all moulded into 6' 3" of bourbon swilling rarely shaved blues n shit many can relate to.
I think Tex may need healing.His singing is suffering from his stress maybe, with his as a rocker. Probably been needing a break for 10 years or more. He's still great of course.

This guy could actually BE the Werewolf of London! Brilliant!
he looks a bit though

Better?
Kids, stay off drugs.
Tex Perkins is a fantastic singer. Under rated by a landslide.
The best guitarist I have seen in a long while.....
This guy's voice is awesome..He sounds like he eats gravel for breakfast and boulders for lunch
no thats Tom Waits you are thinking of. But yeah this guy rocks.
Love Tex.. If you think his voice is rough, search out Hillbilly blues explosion 'My love for evermore'' .. good song too.
Reminiscent also of David Johansen and Howlin' Wolf (most appropriate for this song!)
I have seen Tex gargle with razor blades
Lol.
Spot on voice for this song. The band is damn fine as well. Bravo!!
That's the Rockwiz band, every song they do is great. 1 of the best shpws ever on Australian television. 😎👌
I was listening to the original version of this song and suddenly had an urge to hear a cover of it. I couldn't have asked for better!
me to ha ha
Tex is a living legend
Yes indeed.
Love to hear Tex do ‘Excitable Boy.’ Awesome ! 🇦🇺👍🏻
Tex covers EVERYTHING excellent, including Johnny Cash!!
Nailed it Mr Perkins !
Couldnt ask for a Better singer to sing this song other than the man tex perkins
Tex Perkins went to the Swagger Store. Bought their entire stock.
❤😂
Warren Zevon was such a great songwriter
Best version of this song ever, there is a huge gap to next best, whoever that it. Rarely heard a song sung in such a way the singer could be the subject. Just awesome.
The voice of rusty barbedwire, wrapped in velvet.
And his hair was .... perfect.
Love big Tex. This is a great version of a great song. Agggggggggh hoooooooooo.
Tex was perfect for this song choice.
Under appreciated aussie. Loved Tex's recent tribute to the aussie PM, 'the honeymoon is over.
Tex is not underrated. He's the most legendary front man, fronting the legendary Beasts of Bourbon, Cruel Sea, the Johnny's, the Dark Hoses Tex Don and Charlie, Ring of Fire. He is a living legend, thank you and you're welcome
Auuuuuuuuuuuuuu...., werewolves of London...!!!!!!!, greetings from Chile - 2021....\../
The original Werewolf of London sings 'Werewolves of London' good shit!
Brilliant performer...great to see live no matter what he does
Nice Cover ...RIP Warren !
Seriously, I cannot die and rest in peace until Tex sings at my grave...just how it is
Fantastic Tex - bloody fantastic
Tex Perkins. Legend mate!!!!
That was brilliantly performed. Well done
The irony is Warren Zevon thought this song was awful mostly because of the lyrics. The problem - the music was too good and now we have a song we all love and this version does it much credit in the vocal area.
Three chords never sounded better.
Warren was too hard on himself IMO
I share your opinion but believe he would be impressed by this one.@@AndySmithCoachingLeaders
@@user-uw7lw4qb3t I agree. Plus Tex looks more like a werewolf
Tex OWNS this song.
Tex personifies the alpha male rock star. But ya can't help but like him. Born performer.
For sure. A towering figure in person. Saw him at the Tote in Melbourne tears back. But when you listen to his solo stuff you realise he's quite a sensitive man.
Great version of a classic.
Howlin Tex!! Song was made for him!
Awesome love it
Bloody Awesome
Jeez it has been so long since I last heard this one thanks for the collaborative performance well done really well done to all involved!
LOVED IT aaaa ooooo😄
Best cover of this song ive heard!
Big Tex commands any stage. Grunts, growls and roars....
best thing I've seen Tex do in a while. Good gear.
Swagger. Bags of rock-god swagger
?😮☝️
Perfect voice to be singing this , geez he made me lock my front door
oh warren we MISS YOU!
Fantastic, it's almost like Warren Z. Considering it's live, he might even do it better. More covers of the best songwriter ever please.
And his hair was perfect!
Excellent!
Just feckin amazing
TEX PERKINS WHAT A LEGEND
great
Bring back rock wiz 2021
love you so much Texxx
That's the best I've ever heard that song done , other than Warren Zevon I think was the first one that recorded that ... If I'm wrong Plz correct me . So good right there and that man could sing the phone book with the voice he's got !!
Well DONE!!!
I really like the keyboard player. plays all the tunes.
fucking nailed it!
El mejor.
I believe in werewolves now. I think he had fun with this song.
I didn't come to your show
It was too expensive
🤠
Please Rockwiz include more Warren Zevon covers. "Lawyers Guns and Money" springs to mind as a good candidate.
Auuuuuuuuu🐺good cover🎸👏👏👏
Better than the original and I love the original
Why have I just now discovered this version?!?!?!?!?? Amazing!!! I don't even like the original!!!
Love Tex
This and the Adam Sandler cover are just the best.
One of the best lyrics in rock."Little old lady got mutilated late last night"
Naah..."Saw Lon Chaney JUNIOR walking with the Queen, doing the werewolf of London" is mine.
Oh yes..
Yes, the alliteration is “perfect”
Every syllable glides over creamily to the next 😍
Brilliant
Warren's classic - done really well
Got to love the material if you can do it justice
Nice job
Perfect
I actually prefer this version over the original, that Firebird sounds superb!!
Onya Tex ya Legend.
Added to the Independent Music Stage “Happy Halloween” playlist (in October!)
Muy bien, señor!
Werevolverine does the Flaming Groovies who did Warren Zevon?! Cooool! 😎👍
Great Stuff
ΓΑΜΑΤΟΣ ΤΕΞ.
(F@ckin awesome Tex.)
haa ..love the lyric .."Id like to meet Liz Taylor " good job Tex
NICE
I'd like to meet his tailor....
Very good, this guy must me related to the late Joe Cocker judging from his movements and husky voice!!
Love it !! And are you really the Werewolf ? Man, I’d really like to meet your tailor !! Thanks for a good time.
The song suits Tex to a tee.
Second best version of the song!
❤️
If I ever met tex perkins, Id lose my god damn mind.
How good is Tex....
Who knew that David Harbour sang so well!!?
tex p - what a spanker - great cover haha
Why is Warren not residing in the Rock & Roll Hall Of Fame?
Anybody knows where to find a shirt like the one Tex Is wearing here?
Tex.
the Kris Kristofferson of Aust with a dash of Morrison, Cash & Lemmy all moulded into 6' 3" of bourbon swilling rarely shaved blues n shit many can relate to.
Coastal Reefer well said mate
6'4" inches of sexiness!!!!!
The real werewolf in London!
I think Tex may need healing.His singing is suffering from his stress maybe, with his as a rocker. Probably been needing a break for 10 years or more. He's still great of course.
Damn good version, doesn't beat Warren Zevon's version, But what could?
this is heaps better
Originals always win but there's so good covers out there
No one mentioning Ash? Just Tex? Philistines
They figured the only way to really cover it was by having an actual werewolf sing
Tex is HOT!!!!!!!!!
Draw Blood! I think Lon Chaney III might be required .. the Queen has outlasted them all
Gregory has a lot to answer for. Firstly calling himself "Tex". Why not "Longreach". Good pipes though.
He's got great pipes no doubt. Well played Greg (not big on the American crap name).
This guy sings that better than Warren Zevon
Is Tex still around ? Little bit less tonsil varnish maybe . Pretty good but no one will ever top Zevon
