Tom Petty - New Album + US Tour

[FPSHOT]

Great news about Tom Petty, a little outdated.

Read on From Tom's website. You can listen to one of the songs called "Good Enough" see the link below. I have played it many times already and it is sensational. It is a blues kind of song starting with a great slide guitar solo and it lasts almost 6 minutes. Awesome music with plenty of them electric guitars in it. There is even a touch of "I Want You (She's So Heavy)" in it.

And another song of the album. 'First Flash Of Freedom' which is another heavy guitar song with a late 70's sound in it.

Awesome

That album cover was actually a joke by one of the members on the officials. Here's the real one, supposedly:

Oh, and it's Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers.

[Zimmerman The Gnome]

The first cover was better!

[FPSHOT]

Official video of I Should Have Known It

Very heavy

I like that new song very much, it's the rocking Tom again.

Opinions? Aimee?

[Legs]

The cover again is different then what's been posted.
Anyway it's out now and I am going to order it.
I haven't actually listened to anything yet, with Petty I trust that's good.

[FPSHOT]

I have the new album and can only say it is just....incredible

[FPSHOT]

I would think that some Petty fans would love to talk about his fantastic new album but just as it is with for instance the new George songs many of the ladies here are only interested in looks and sexy pics and wavey hair

[hibgal]

Tom Petty has wavy hair??? You sure about that, FP? :thinker:

I haven't heard the new album except for I Should Have Known It, which was quite nice, but then I'm not a diehard TP fan - although certain elements are trying their best to change that! :devious:

However, I see that Jefferson Jericho Blues is now available on Youtube in the Tom Petty channel (http://www.youtube.com/user/tompetty?blend=2&ob=1). Catchy classic rock blues, this one.

[The New AimeeAndBeatles]

Its a good album, I like it. But its not my favorite. I can say that its not another Torpedoes (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Damn_the_Torpedoes_%28album%29) but its a good album in its own respect.

Heres the final album cover.

P.S. I dont think Tom has wavy hair. But Heartbreakers with beards scare the shit outta me.

[hibgal]

You scared of Tom, Aimee??? :faint1:

[FPSHOT]

I think it's the best he ever did but talking about music seems difficult here since it looks like the average women hairdresser waiting room

[The New AimeeAndBeatles]

You scared of Tom, Aimee??? :faint1:

I wouldnt be if he shaved!

[FPSHOT]

This proves my point...no word about the album...just another girlie glossip

[The New AimeeAndBeatles]

I did say something about the album if you look up several posts.

[hibgal]

This proves my point...no word about the album...just another girlie glossip

And some people only see what they expect to see! Here's what Aimee said that you missed, FP:
Its a good album, I like it. But its not my favorite. I can say that its not another Torpedoes (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Damn_the_Torpedoes_%28album%29) but its a good album in its own respect. Why don't you ask her why she prefers Torpedoes if you want a serious discussion?

I haven't heard the whole album but I sure did say what I thought of the two tracks I HAVE listened to! Why didn't you say what you thought of them?

So far I can't see any album review by FPSHOT. How about doing a track by track rundown and maybe you'll see a deeper discussion?

[FPSHOT]

Thank you Aimee, I saw those remarks :smile1:

[FPSHOT]

Oh I will certainly do that for those people who still care about music

[Legs]

A bit to warm to type about music, or anything else.
"Damn the mosqito's"

I say this latest is in line with the Mudcrutch album,
from what I heard so far, haven't got the actuall album yet.

[CWW]

I was hoping to win a trip an all expenses paid trip to LA with A reserve seats at the Hollywood Bowl!! the radio station ring you and you had to answer the phone "Mojo"..i didnt get the call..

Ive said it many times before but Mike Campbell is one of the greatest guitarists of all time...

[The New AimeeAndBeatles]

And you can find those Heartbreakers everywhere. Dont get me going though.

[FPSHOT]

Some are interested in their music

[The New AimeeAndBeatles]

I was talking about the music, you goof. I mean one of my teachers swears that one or mroe Heartbreakers appear on half of his LPs.

[FPSHOT]

goof lol :teeth1:

Well when there is an album by Tom Petty & The Heartbreakers like the latest album it seems logical that one or more of The Heartbreakers appear on it.

[Hari's Chick]

I just am getting into this album now. On first listen, I really like "Something Good Coming" mostly for the guitar. U.S. 41 is great, too! So bluesy...

[Legs]

Still haven't received mine copy.
Ordered it two weeks ago!
I've downloaded the iTunes extra track tho,
"Little Girl Blues". Nice little rock blues song.

[MaccaGirl2891]

Ok, so I just listened to "Takin' My Time" and now I'm listening to "Lover's Touch." I MUST GET THIS ALBUM!!!!!! I am huge into blues and I'm a blues dancer, so this music will be AMAZING to dance to!

Edit: Listened to the whole album and MUST purchase it!!! Can't wait to BLUES DANCE to this stuff!!! I love the 2 mentioned above, "High in the Morning," "Jefferson Jericho Blues," and "Running Man's Bible" especially. LOVE this whole album!!!! :cool1:

[hibgal]

Just listened to Don't Pull Me Over. Very nice song! :teeth1:

[Beatleboy]

Just listened to Don't Pull Me Over. Very nice song! :teeth1:

Yay, mon! :teeth1:

Some bad news about Mike Campbell from Tom's website

July 20, 2010
Cleveland Show Rescheduled for August 31st - Mike Campbell Update

Tonight’s postponed show at the Blossom Music Center in Cleveland, OH has been rescheduled for August 31st.

All tickets for tonight’s original date will be honored on August 31st. We hope fans can make the newly rescheduled date.

Mike Campbell was admitted to the hospital as a precautionary measure following his fainting at Sunday night’s sweltering hot show in Maryland Heights, MO.

He has remained in the hospital on doctor’s orders prompting the postponement of tonight’s original Blossom Music Center date.

Mike is expected to be released from the hospital tomorrow to play Thursday night’s Tom Petty and The Heartbreakers show in Detroit, MI.

Mike sincerely thanks everyone for their well wishes!

[Hari's Chick]

Best wishes for Mike!

[Beatleboy]

Really digging "The First Flash Of Freedom", right now. It's just one of those songs that stays and stays, and never goes away (but in a good way). :teeth1:

[The New AimeeAndBeatles]

I like it, but its still not my favorite. Dont have much to say about individual songs.

Has anybody seen the new Classic Albums Damn the Torpedoes documentary? It was great!

[The New AimeeAndBeatles]

I also forgot to mention. I got a hold of Heartbreakers' Beach Party, which is an obscure-ish documentry from 1983 .... Cameron Crowe directed it, it was his first film.

I also got a hold of a movie from 1978 called FM. Tom makes a three-minute cameo in it, and says about 10 words. The rest of the movie was pretty awful, tbh, I couldnt watch it all the way and there were some riots at the end and I went "what the fuck?"

Edit: Some screencaps. I actually have about 30 but Im not gonna post them all.

Is Tom appearing as himself or as just another character?

[The New AimeeAndBeatles]

Himself.

looks and sexy pics and wavey hair

By the way, after analyses of 40-some videos and a random sample of my picture collection I come to the conclusion that Tom Petty has stick-straight hair.
but if you're not interested in the looks, I could post various articles, i have quite a few. Heres some samples:

In fact, my biggest hobby is chasing women. Although there are those I can live without, like the ones who come backstage and start undressing you before the gig ... I'm in this business for chicks. -- April 1977

So it comes out in big, bold type: HE'S ONLY IN IT FOR THE CHICKS. So we get to England, and by the time we got off the plane they were there. I mean every hotel. Chicks everywhere. It was really crazy and every day I had to say, "No, really, I like music too." -- February 1979

Did he have any theory on why he and the Heartbreakers were the hardest rocking band with a predominantly female following?
"We're better looking," Petty laughs, then grows more thoughtful. "I enjoy girls immensely, and I think they're part of what a rock concert should be. Whenever I go to a punk show and it's all boys on the dance floor, I think, 'Hey, there's something missing here. Where's the sex?'" -- March 1983

When it's suggested that he's chosen a line of work that seems to take its toll on marriage, Petty offers a typically forthright insight. "It does if you're prone to fuck a lot of people," he says. "That will cause a lot of problems." -- August 1991

But we're havin' a lot of fun. And thanks for havin' us and playing our records. Um, you know, we often turn on the Today Show and dance naked around the room. (much laughter by the Heartbreakers) -- October 2002

Tom Petty suffered from a sinus and throat infection so some shows were postponed and delayed but he is in stage again.

[The New AimeeAndBeatles]

Yeah, Phoenix and San Diego IIRC.
