@Scraetor I don't doubt you but can you post the link to the interview confirming this as I'm pretty sure I read it second hand off of the Tom Waits Facebook group from a feature in an obscure french magazine or something but I thought it was wishful thinking on my part. Cheers
FANTASTIC!!!!FINALY SOMEONE SAID THAT!!! MY BIRTHDAY PARTY LIST WAS HACKED. AND I WANTED TO LISTEN ONLY IN MY HOME. DO NOT TO BE KNOWN FOR MUSIC LIST, BUT FOR MY PHILOSOPHY AND POES. LOVE FOR TW
What the world needs right now is some seriously fantastic metaphysical Waits healing that can only be conveyed through those mind binding lyrics. Bring it on Tom!
I fucking love you man. I wasn't gonna have a birthday party for Finnegan this year, but you've provided me with muse. One happy party goer at a time, walked in front door (play music) where hat, hooter provided - drop gift in living room - cake and balloon in dining room - thank you's with treat bag in kitchen and exit back door. NEXT... Finnegan will be the happiest dog in the world. Beeeyouteefulll !
Zio Tomaso, you were with me in my ad-seg cell at New Folsom. I learned to sound like you, by choking on apples and all sorts of other things. Mil gratz.
My best friend Robert was a huge T Waits fan and introduced me to his work...even bigger than me. He committed suicide a few years ago, but a thanks from me to TW (and KB) for giving us something to talk about endlessly over coffees every other week after work.. He would have loved these vids.
I hope when all this shit blows over I get to see you live again. I saw you in Dallas the last time you were here and it is still the greatest concert I’ve ever had the pleasure of seeing. I was the girl sitting on my friends shoulders... not sure if you remember staring daggers at me. I didn’t understand then but I do now. I feel really bad and have for years. I was just a dumb kid who pissed off my hero. 💔
Like a warm Pabst on a blazing hot day! It’s refreshing, but it would be much cooler if it was brand spanking new! I‘m not complaining, these older clips are great!
@@TheDreamingJune agreed! Not saying I can sing his C2s but especially older songs, when my chest range was only till A3, he was very useful :D and I just adore him. He's no sell out. Unique and sincere music, getting rare nowadays...
You get better always a Theatre Thankyou Tom for always inspiring me your mindthought to life has kept my mind sane knowing I’m not alone in this world 🐝in Oz💛✨
Wow Just found Tom Waits after years of neglecting his genius. Who’s the guy in the middle next to Tom in the car at the end?? Thank you kindly dear Brothers and Sisters ! Shine On ♠️
it almost seems to mee that it happend lightyears before I became old. fell in love with my english teacher, but Tom was her first love. I had no longterm chance, 'cause, you know, he's a heartbreak-guy. later, studying architecture, my professor asked me, why i give my strange conceptual drafts titles like "Frank's Swordfishtrombone". I infected the whole semester with Tom's music. this was long before the googleage.
I wish I could live in the world inside Tom Waits head full of drunken misanthropic losers, hazy midnight jazz clubs and cafes, hipsters and beats strolling the streets while bands in alleyways clang and bang away on instruments made of ole metal and tin, and shifty salesmen trying to sell you cheap wares guaranteed to make your life better. That’s the life for me.
I really really love the aesthetic of Tom's works but I feel like you really need to have a little more insight in the ways of the real world... Triage Ministries may be a religious person but he's on the money when he talks about that shady as shit side of the life Waits shows us in his works. I'd like to stay with pop culture and compare the idolization of Waits's worldview with the idolization of Tony Montana. Kids will see the rich cokehead gangster. Men will see the sad junkie in love with his sister, who had all the things in the world, but kept failing to see that really it's not things you need. There's a shadow side to life that tends to be overlooked by the young and naive, but that's okay. Life will hit you too at some point, and it'll define you as a person! I just hope it doesn't break you, like it did with many of Tom's characters (and with Tony, for that matter).
Let's not assume too much things, yes? I have studied philosophy, I'm very familiar with Aristotle, I have read my Nietzche, Kant, Kierkegaard, Heidegger, I've read my Kafka and Voltaire and Dostoyevski and Mushashi, I'm an avid reader of a great many writers, poets and philosophers. I am an active musician, I play and rehearse music with my band every week. When was the last time I or my friends did something creative? Well, besides the fact that we make music, and besides the fact that I teach as an occupation (teaching kids is probably the most amazingly hilarious occupation imaginable), I myself as a philosopher, and my bandmates being engineers, the three of us run a small company that makes light fixtures. The drummer has his own 3D printing business where he'll design tools or small pieces of art to sell. Many of the things you've mentioned are a very real part of my life. But no, I am not a misanthrophe, and I'm not a beatnik lying in the gutter every friday night. Thank you! FYI - The point I'm trying to make is that the shadow life to life really shouldn't be seen as anything other than that shadowy part.
I have no idea why Tom Waits came up on my recommendations. But! Thank fuck it did. This was cool as shit. In a good way. What a boss. I may even buy the album!
I would be 100% ok with Tom coming to my birthday party and opening all my presents.
He can have all the cake he wants too
@@saturatedneowax if you're not gay for Tom Waits, you should probably check your pulse...
me too. in fact Id only have a birthday party if he did that.
tom waits consistently proves to be as cool as the other side of the pillow.
rob slover right? You said it
Stuart Scott approves!
The other side of the pillow only stays cool for about 5mins just saying.
@@DUTTY245 fair enough man. here in northern california its almost 110 this whole week!
@Jesus H. Christ its a quote from one of toms songs.
I'm so glad this crazy bastard's till arround. What a complete legend.
Especially with his chain smoking in his earlier years. I guarantee his wife definitely increased his life expectancy.
We need a new Tom Waits album!
Seriously C'mon Tom
Yeeeeah!!!
Yep, we always wait!
His "official" channel here has been putting out a lot of stuff lately, so I really hope they're amping us up for something!
@@palacecat yeah I noticed that. It could be. I hope so!
Why can't my Alexa have Tom Waits' voice?
Carin Hall “What if I told you...it is, like....6 uh...30. am.
Alexas just aren't cool enough.
This man is a treasure
Agreed !!
@@Aymiikeeganmelb conceded
Undoubtedly!!!
This cat is Salvadore Dali and Bukowski in one human being. You know, the kinda guy who'd put a washer and dryer in the kitchen, right next to the stove and refrigerator. Nothing like the smell of bacon and Bounce in the morning.
"Sometimes I just turn all of them on to see who wins the race."
Either Tom hired a savvy marketing team to run his TH-cam channel or there's a new album coming
@Scraetor I moreso just want to see a tour. I've never gotten the chance to see him live and afraid I won't get to.
@Scraetor I don't doubt you but can you post the link to the interview confirming this as I'm pretty sure I read it second hand off of the Tom Waits Facebook group from a feature in an obscure french magazine or something but I thought it was wishful thinking on my part. Cheers
He is the marketing team!😒
@Scraetor Much appreciated fella!
This is an old video. Believe me
No idea whats going on here but very happy to see Waits, sending best wishes & love to anyone reading this, stay well (as you can) xx
This is from many years ago.
I dont think HE has any idea whats going on here.
FANTASTIC!!!!FINALY SOMEONE SAID THAT!!! MY BIRTHDAY PARTY LIST WAS HACKED. AND I WANTED TO LISTEN ONLY IN MY HOME. DO NOT TO BE KNOWN FOR MUSIC LIST, BUT FOR MY PHILOSOPHY AND POES. LOVE FOR TW
FANTASTIC!!!!!!FINALY SOMEONE SAID THAT.
Your an incredible artist, Tom. A bewilderbeast of gargantuan takes. May you forever be, windswept and interesting.
✌️
What the world needs right now is some seriously fantastic metaphysical Waits healing that can only be conveyed through those mind binding lyrics. Bring it on Tom!
If I ever have a child I would prefer to hear about it from Tom Waits.
He's been #1 on my must see live list for years. Please tour when we're once again allowed to bump up against each other in large numbers!
I love you Dad!
Less is more, but more is more also. Please, Mr. Waits, can we have some more? ❤️
I fucking love you man.
I wasn't gonna have a birthday party for Finnegan this year, but you've provided me with muse.

Beeeyouteefulll !
I would fall right up the stairs to have you come to my birthday party and open all my presents.
Zio Tomaso, you were with me in my ad-seg cell at New Folsom. I learned to sound like you, by choking on apples and all sorts of other things. Mil gratz.
A Tom Waits quarantine album is the thing of dreams. Make it happen, Tom!
I think I'll cry tears of joy if we get a new Tom Waits album.
you have 56 days to purchase a box of tissues.
OMFG 56 days? Don’t fuck with us? Really??? A new Waits album is what the world needs right now. At least my world!
What a story teller! Brilliant.
Truly a class act ! Thank you tom for sharing your life and thank everyone who has ever supported you .
here's a man who mentions jump rope in two consecutive interviews. visionary.
I have enjoyed these recent videos immensely.
Tom Waits is the only cat currently on the music scene from whom I would buy a lawnmower.

He sounds like Ol Dirty Bastard in Bad As Me at the end.....Never did I think I'd put those two together in the same sentence.
I see the connection.
Odb Tom waits random as feck
Tom is as good as an actor than a singer.A pure and unique original Cool Style...
Hi Tom, you are so inspiring to me...🍄🍄🍄🍄
Love love love this man
Can't believe a year has gone by, since I watched this
What a character 😁.
Thanks for ALL the GR8 music, acting and YOU.
I've got that box on the left. Jvc 5050. Nice taste mr waits
HAPPY BIRTHDAY TOM !
Waits is one of the greats!
Дякую Вам пане ТОМ ))))
I feel like if the videos quality was higher than 360p it wouldn’t be Tom Waits anymore.
Like a warm Pabst on a blazing hot day! It’s refreshing, but it would be much cooler if it was brand spanking new! I‘m not complaining, these older clips are great!
Tom we need ya!
Tom, you say you'd come over to my house and play with my toys like it's a BAD thing?!
Lol 😂😂😂
I know he could literally do anything he wanted at my house. 😍
Hahaha right?
God bless you Mr.Waits...you’re an absolute legend sir.
locked in a deadzone I stumbled onto this and Tom made it all make sense again..???
Some of the best music on the planet
How I wish all this was real - frisked before a listening party, 3-seater cars, shaking telephone, everything!
This is a Tom Waits world. We're just living in It.
Marcio Couto freaking love him
I discovered more of this man's music 2 months ago trying to find songs I could do as a contralto and now I'm obsessed with almost all of his songs
Funnily enough I'm a contralto too and I love Tom Waits voice and music. He's brilliant.
@@TheDreamingJune agreed!
Not saying I can sing his C2s but especially older songs, when my chest range was only till A3, he was very useful :D and I just adore him. He's no sell out. Unique and sincere music, getting rare nowadays...
More of THIS
You get better always a Theatre Thankyou Tom for always inspiring me your mindthought to life has kept my mind sane knowing I’m not alone in this world 🐝in Oz💛✨
I gotta party (and record in my studio) with this guy.
come to Chile please
Would love to go back to Chile.
Is this a hint that there’s a tour coming our way? What the world needs now is Tom, sweet Tom.
I moreso hope it's a new album, a tour would not be a good idea right now.
Tom, release the next album man, “Bad As Me” was great! We want greater!! 🤠😉🎸
New album , new album , new album . Please 🙏🙏🙏
Sitting in a rusted out old car with Tom and listening to his new album?
Take my fucking money, already!
"Bad as Me" Promo. Great fucking album. Saw Tom play live twice. Here's the two word review of both shows: Holy shit
Wow
Just found Tom Waits after years of neglecting his genius.
Who’s the guy in the middle next to Tom in the car at the end??
Thank you kindly dear Brothers and Sisters !
Shine On ♠️
A complete an unapologetic individual. Adore him.
Hi Tom, keep it up man! I'm with you
Can't wait.
we need you lovely Tom! hard days
Man rain or shine day or night awake or asleep......tour for us 🙏🏻👹
I want to hang out with Tom Waits and listen to Tom Waits.
That was great.
Are those the Fender P.A. cabs that came with the P.A. 100 ? Eclectic choice,young man .
If you came to my birthday early and started eating my cake...I would consider it a christening.
How do I apply for this?
Gotta love the Tom.
Tom Waits..great way to start Friday
I wait too
Ok, I'm going to spend my afternoon dreaming myself in that car with Tom Waits, listening to that song...
I feel like the new album is coming soon
Let's hope so. I'm badly in need of some new Tom music.
The guy in the middle seat of the car kind of looks like a young Tom Waits.
More like Billy Idol.
It could be his son, Casey Waits.
All time Hero .. ✌️
Now TH-cam is finally cool
that was me on the phone,i told Tom not to read the comments and he said i was using the word commence incorrectly
Nah folks, it's an old promo. Chill out
from 2011?
@@777lucifuge777 I thought he looked younger ?
@@moondawg3693 So did I
Lots of recent uploads of great and bizarre clips. Hopeful it means a new album. But these are bright spots in dark times.
Haha love this content best all year Keeping on the top side of the grass and killing it long live Tom
That would be cold.. colder then a ticket taker's smile on a Thursday night..
So good..... ❤️

Sure I'll listen to your new record and offer feedback. Socially distancing and all.
How did you know my wife was pregnant? My child is gonna have a raspy voice and play piano?

Time waits for no man. Tom Waits for mankind.

this is from 2011. i do hope there's a new album on the way though.
Driving around an abandoned rust bucket , no better than this !
You're such a cool dude
Was really wondering what was going down in that rust bucket at the end there 😂🤔
Consistently becoming more of a fan of Tom Waits.
🖤🖤🖤
Legend 🖖🏻🖤
Your analogy was perfect, but I will continue to participate in the Club of Captain Hook!
In the 21st century, the big deal is called ADVERTISING!
I will literally shit my pants if he comes out with a new album.
Clever men coming together to do clever things. Stop feasting on images and start creating them.
