Tom Petty has kept his fans and made countless new ones over the 30 years he's been in rock and roll and Anthony Mason spends a little time with the musician.
old geezer me 60+ yrs old now coming back to his music as I took a long break in the 90's-2000's+ from music like the rap crap etc turned me off for a long time. Now I'm binge watching TP videos to find I missed out alot of his talent. Now I'm paying attention to TP music & sadly he is gone now. Thanks for being that great rocker in my time.
Frickin' genius. Damn I'm going to miss him. But not his music - because I have it ALL! LOL And always will. He is literally a part of who I am. Thank you Tom! We even have the same initials. Hah!
Just watched a few interviews with Tom Petty. I could listen all day to him. Great attitude and out look on life. Have always loved his music. I am 61 years old and have loved his music since forever.
Sherry Johnston I'm only 13 and I have been in love with his music since I was 5. Even got front row tickets to see home when I was 6 for my good grades in school
Tom Petty... Ya got to love him... He IS who he is and aint gonna change for No one. He is one of the LAST standing person who believes in what he feels and loves. Rock on TP!!!
I saw this on tv with my parents and thought he sounded so much like bob Dylan and I immediately got the greatest hits and wild flowers. Rip Tom. Never regretted it
Mr.Tom Earl Petty, talented. No ego, humble. Authentic. No phony. Straightforward. That why you are a legend. Rest In Peace, brother. PETTY AWESOME!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
God this man this band, i love them i have listened to them since ive been a little girl. and i will listen to them til the end of time im glad to see them still rockin!!!!
I only got to see him during the Hypnotic Eye tour, but it was the best concert I've been to. . .I live in the Chicago Suburbs, so I could have saw him in Champaign, Illinois and at Wrigley Field during this last tour. . .but alas, I decided not to.
I am proud to share TP's birthday: Oct. the 20th. That day I celebrate for the both of us, for he has taught me to be honest to myself, not to be perfect, just honest to myself, just like he is, TP is himself, and he is one great guy, a musician I am blessed to have grown up with, I hace 2 mp3 cd's in my car with 150 of his songs (many are missing) and each one makes fills me with integrity and rock. May you live long you rebel!.
2:01 "I think, if yer goin' out ta say 30,000 people and you don't get nervous, there's sumpin' not plugged in, ya know?!" Simple brilliance at all times.
So sad hearing him contemplate getting older. I so wish he could’ve just lived happily, slowly winding down his career. Instead he did a massive 53-date tour to give the fans one last show. He was such a good person, to his band, his fans, everyone he loved. I’m still so upset that he died. Why did it have to be Tom.
Cause he was so determined and had to finish the show ! He was not a laid back person when it came to his music! Loved this man, a humble soul who just wanted to be a good man to ride the river with, as Johnny Cash told him on his 50th birthday! We could have waited for him to take care of himself first! He did what he loved! Heartbroken fan!
I’m only seventeen but i love classic rock. I just listen to this genre like 1 year ago. And couldn’t be more happier that I Know him and the heartbreakers. I just want to see him live, this Made me cry😭

This is great.We got to see them with Crosby Stills and Nash who opened the show a couple years ago.At a tiny venue called Darien lake in western NY.What a fun night that was.
Although, death is a part of life . I just can not get over TOM NOT BEING HERE ITS ALMOST 4 YEARS AND IM STILL LOOKING FOR HIM feeling like I'll find him . That's a true Rock star ❤️🙏
“It is so rare to find someone who commands such universal respect in the business. He was a rock n roll lifer with music in his blood. This man delivered a wealth of great songs to his fans and to the world and that is something to celebrate.” - Alice Cooper
Nobody ever said TOM IS A JERK. And he is always a pretty good interview. SO EFFING SAD. I thought we were all going to grow old together?? Damn you! THANKS for being real and making music interesting and fun. Love the brotherhood with Mike and the rest of the Heartbreakers. Damn the torpedoes one of all time great album cover photos?
Best Live Album Ever. They should defently do a Bond song soon after listening to Goldfinher on the album. They are so good. I love them:) Love from Norway. Please Tom,Come over here.:)
They are one of my favorite Rock Bands of all time. But I didn't know he was 60! That's okay, he's right "If you're not getting older you're dead" lol :-D Rock on Tom, you're awesome!
Wow, how prophetic at the end of the interview "Tom, how do you feel about turning 60? (answer from Petty). Well, if you're not getting older you're dead (with a sly chuckle at the end)". God Bless Ye Sir Petty - you will be missed terribly (ie you're not getting older).
He seems very much like a natural normal being I can relate to his abuse by his father in another interview. He stated his father beat the crap to belittle him. Now he may be gone he lives through his music ...Such a sweet man I relate but years of therapy I let go...
WOW! TOM HAS GOTTEN BETTER LOOKING IN HIS LATER YRS WOOHOOOOOO!!*DROOLS* OH YEAH BABY! Finallly got some meat on those skinny ass bones! haha! YOU ARE TIMELESS TOM AS IS YOUR BAND ONE OF THE GREATEST CONTRIBUTION TO THE PEOPLE HAS BEEN YOUR MUSIC!! KEEP ROCKING IN THE FREE WORLD BABE!! "EVERYONE'S HAD TO FIGHT TO BE FREE" ;-) TY CBS 4 posting this very noble of you!!
I'm 50 years old and if I had one band to listen to for the rest of my life and only one it would be Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers.
old geezer me 60+ yrs old now coming back to his music as I took a long break in the 90's-2000's+ from music like the rap crap etc turned me off for a long time.

Frickin' genius. Damn I'm going to miss him. But not his music - because I have it ALL! LOL And always will. He is literally a part of who I am. Thank you Tom! We even have the same initials. Hah!

I've recently rediscovered Tom Petty. I am 67 years old and am really enjoying his music and like the man very much.
Sherry Johnston I'm only 13 and I have been in love with his music since I was 5. Even got front row tickets to see home when I was 6 for my good grades in school
Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers are Legends. There music is timeless...it is the soundtrack for mankind.
RIP Tom. You gave the world so many gems.
Tom Petty... Ya got to love him... He IS who he is and aint gonna change for No one. He is one of the LAST standing person who believes in what he feels and loves. Rock on TP!!!
No one can break your heart like Tom Petty. Like losing your first love.
It's like losing the half of your heart and soul 😞
You were the shit. Always in the pocket, always a great hook, always make you wanna hit replay. Doesn't get much better than that. Thanks Tom.
you NEVER faded! you went out w a BLAST!
I saw this on tv with my parents and thought he sounded so much like bob Dylan and I immediately got the greatest hits and wild flowers. Rip Tom. Never regretted it
Mr.Tom Earl Petty, talented. No ego, humble. Authentic. No phony. Straightforward. That why you are a legend. Rest In Peace, brother. PETTY AWESOME!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
What a humble soul. A King of Melody.
Words can not describe how legendary and timeless Tom Pretty is.

We WILL miss you Brother. God Bless You R.I.P. :(
the best.. tom petty a legend
Tom is so great. What a genuinely nice guy.
I've seen Tom Petty in concert 5 times - and he NEVER disappointed. I missed his last tour, and that is something I will always regret. Dammit.
I only got to see him during the Hypnotic Eye tour, but it was the best concert I've been to. . .I live in the Chicago Suburbs, so I could have saw him in Champaign, Illinois and at Wrigley Field during this last tour. . .but alas, I decided not to.
I missed his last one too. F me.
Yep, been going for the last 15 years and skipped the last one because I was too busy😢
I feel you ..❤️
Love this guy. Honest and flawed. I can relate...The best.
The best. Just the best
A true legend . Made me want to pick up a guitar when I was younger. I play a rickenbacker 360 and think of him :-)
I'm 5 years old and i like this music
Have seen him 4 times. The best. And he loves the fans.
"If your not getting older...your dead"......great quote! viva la Petty

Tom, you always felt like a friend to me. I'll miss you.
I'm glad this interview popped up. Good Interview, some great clips. RIP Tom Petty. Miss you always.
Love this. What an amazing man.
Hell, yeah. He's been my Favorite, artist. Since, 1979.
I love him too. :) He is amazing.
Love Mr Petty's music, soul & style!

I'm only 18 and I love this kind of music over the new stuff
God I miss him . R.I.P. and thanks for the music !!!
I don't want him to be old. Wish I could see the Heartbreakers back when "Damn the Torpedos" came out. Tom Petty rocks...
yah man...there ain't no easy way out...we'll miss you...rest in peace
I don't want to talk about his death, let's talk about his life.
He never faded away, he played literally until the end. I wish now he had taken some time to heal so he could have continued. He left too soon.
I remember seeing him as the Mad Hatter and I've loved him ever since. :D

Tom Petty is a real down-to-earth guy. Seems like an old Friend who is a Musician. Sure would like to meet the Guy sometime.
Tom Davis oh
I've been listening to petty since the got go n he's never been a disappointment hellfire he's so bad he's a rock in rebel
You were never ashamed of commercial success? "No, why would you be? Who came with that?"
This is great.We got to see them with Crosby Stills and Nash who opened the show a couple years ago.At a tiny venue called Darien lake in western NY.What a fun night that was.
Omg, I miss you so much Tom! RIP Tom!
Hard to imagine that they're both gone now. RIP, you guys.
Although, death is a part of life . I just can not get over TOM NOT BEING HERE ITS ALMOST 4 YEARS AND IM STILL LOOKING FOR HIM feeling like I'll find him . That's a true Rock star ❤️🙏
Awesome!! Tom Petty is the best!! Always will be my favorite rocker, have traveled far and wide to see him. Breakdown, go ahead and give it to me.
