I thought I lost my mind when I found this version because the original disappeared from the service and it didn't list it as a remix. I knew I didn't misremember one of my favorite songs. Lots of settings tested later I found the original on regular TH-cam, not popping in search on the music side, even though I had the track in my owned music stored on Play before the merge.
I can live with this one; it's got a bit more of a dirty tango kind of sound to it. I still consider the original version the "true" version, but this one isn't bad.
the original version picked up when the chorus comes in, giving it a release of tension which gives it a kick. the bass drum replaced with bongos? idk. its way more latin sounding. its good.
@@billysuterhave u a thumbs up for a proper answer. My two cents: The og is so Tom and so Marc. But this version is just if they fused as one fucked up being and disrespected everyone by doing this as one. In all the best ways. This and the og is fucking platinum times a million
You're all out of your minds. This version is definitely better. Solo could have used a little work, and some time shaved off of it. Other than that, clear winner.
What the crap is this? Damn, this is such a bad treatment of such a raw anthem. If you're new to Tom, find the original take on this track, you'll be glad you did.
They completely butchered Marc Ribot’s solo. The horns become the centerpiece while the guitar’s sound is lowered. One of the most memorable parts of the original track. I should honestly make a video giving this bullshit the thrashing it deserves
I have strong "The world is dying and we are dancing on it's rotting corpse" vibes from this song, awesome
Only Tom could look at a rag and say I'm going to make a classic about this.
He is singing about the flag.
This song moves motherfucking mountains and souls...
What the flip
I never knew this version existed and it's awesome because it's Tom Waits but the original just rips through me

Every thumbs down is a rag not hoisted.
My guess is the thumbs downs are from people who prefer the original mix. This version is... odd.
@@Andrew_2040: Mr. Waits is odd
it's because this isn't the version that was originally on the album and the guitar on this version has no soul

God i love the Brasses on that version! as i like to play my trombone along many of his music ! Thanks Tom for having always surprised us! Big up!
Oh wow, haven't listened to something this...real in a while.
Waited so long for this revised version, thank you!
The original is so much better
Love you Tom
The original version is dirtier, I like it quite a bit. But the horns in this one KILL!
I can live with this one; it's got a bit more of a dirty tango kind of sound to it. I still consider the original version the "true" version, but this one isn't bad.
I think this is the only remix that I prefer over the original.
I love Marc Ribot ♥️
He is good 👍. How do you have a bass like this!
so has the 'original' version been buried?
All rags are vacuumed now!
Thanks Tom

This song's gnarly AF....
Wow! ❤❤
If I ever have to actually kill a person righteously.
This will be on full blast.
From Montreal with love 💪🏽🇨🇦👊🏽

I like this version.
BAD TREATMENT??? Are you kidding??This is Tom Waits were talking about here.who gives a crap what he did to it.either way it sounds AWESOME!!
Amazing
Unpopular opinion: I love this version way more than the original.
I feel the same way. The intensity of all the voices coming together at the chorus is just too good.
What's the 'original'?
The original has no horns section and much less production. This is has a very different mix. Different vibe. Original feels dirtier.

I’ve seen people complain about the horns but the original already had a syncopated Latin-ish quality so they fit in well IMO.
I like both versions..
Holy shit this is awesome 👏
Levanten los trapos!!
multumesc
A Most Wanted Man, with Philip Seymour Hoffman, brought me here.
I kinda like this version
Latin pirate mambo singalong
👍🏻♥️🇸🇪
Tom warning us we are peering over the cliff ready to fall.....
sweetly kick ass song
WHY???
Mad about this version
best version
This version better fight me
The first time I heard this song, I did not want to like it. "The original is perfect, and needs no change." Boy, was I wrong!
Best od the beast !!!
Bet this sounds incredible on a victrola
You can barely hear that funky bass line.
you like the coffee at Ihop do ya?
I was the 1st view and thumbs up. wow.
I hated it for the first 37 seconds, but it's pretty good.
Aguante Fito viejaaa
Living it out loud. Fuck. Wake up America
Wow. This is not the original release version... Sounds way different. Not sure I like this version...
then it is a rag not hoisted.
HOIST THAT RAAG
HOIST
THAT
RAG
just here to add weight to the original mix side of the scale
You're all out of your minds. This version is definitely better. Solo could have used a little work, and some time shaved off of it. Other than that, clear winner.
This remaster... It is a crime against the human race...
Why drown out the wondeful Ribot guitar work? Spoiled it for me on this one. Original non-remastered version is far better.
I bought this on LP, BEFORE knowing about the new remix, all the dirty and raw from real gone is 'REAL GONE'. What a shame tom waits.
It’s sad, that Tom really real gone after “Bad as me”
The original is far superior. I am totally against this kind of revisionism. You can't just go back and change an album after it's been released.
It's his song. He can do whatever he wants with it, whiner.
@@renajsh I hope that insulting random people on the internet helps you feel better about yourself.
@@179rich Snotty brat.
I hate this version. Sounds like some jerk overdubbed himself over a demo of the original amazing version. Tom sounds different too.
this sax and trumpets are soooooooo bad
What the crap is this?
Damn, this is such a bad treatment of such a raw anthem. If you're new to Tom, find the original take on this track, you'll be glad you did.
They should clarify this is from the remaster and also add the original.
They completely butchered Marc Ribot’s solo. The horns become the centerpiece while the guitar’s sound is lowered. One of the most memorable parts of the original track. I should honestly make a video giving this bullshit the thrashing it deserves
Oh, how they butchered my boy! I want the old version back with the badass guitar and not the silly horns
Gimme a link to original pls...
Jan Jan Here you go th-cam.com/video/aw3mFXOwRgw/w-d-xo.html
god, this version fucking SUCKS
Yeah, now go write a song and show me that you are more capable and talented than Tom Waits 😹
WTF is this version i hate it.
