I'm so amazed at what a great songwriter this guy is..I only own frank's wild years and rain dogs unfortunately, but i'm inspired enough to eventually get all his work..any other fans? |
||||||||
|

Tom is God... Too many great albums by that guy....me & the girlf often end up singing him in the car... |
||||||||

i received blue valentine, the valentine's day from my ex gf. i love this album and i have now many others. Tom waits is, indeed, some kind of living god. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Yes, Big fan here. i reallly really love him Tom said he wanted to do something with massive attack sometime, because he liked their style and sounds. Bone machine is another pearl. |

Mule Variations and Rain Dogs (especially Singapore) all kick ass, i love Tom. His voice is a boxer...thats been bruised by smoking and alcahol. He strikes me as a guy who has a lot of stories to tell!!! |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Yup, he looks like he´s seen a lot of fucked up shit. i wish ill become like that some day. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
me not. but i hope i'll have his voice. 8) |

|
cool, i thought Anus was the only one next to me who digged his stuff :) so any more of you? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
i like him a lot...get his last two albums, both really nice tho rain dogs is probably my favourite |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
i already have his last two albums :) i prefer alice over blood money, but they're both great |

Blue Valentine is such a beautiful album! Amazing lyrics (in my humble opinion some of the best waits has ever written), wait's growl at its best my two fav tracks "Romeo is Bleeding" and "Wrong Side of the Road". I prefer waits in his soulful/poetic/slighty jazzy period to his more recent stuff. |
||||||||

Tom Waits is one of those artists I'll get everything by eventually. Mostly right now I like his more recent theatrical / mutant cabaret kinda stuff over his older bluesy jazzy stuff. First thing I got by him was The Black Rider which is still one of my favorites but is difficult to listen to - there's too much pain and horror and darkness there. |

I've been curious about this guy for a while but not enough to buy anything. What is his 'sound? Awful question I know but does he sound like anyone else? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
i for one can't explain really, the thing is also that his old stuff differs from his more recent stuff .. quite some different styles, i'd say just check some of his stuff.. from the newer albums i'd recommend 'Alice' and 'Mule Variations' .. there too much else to recommend, just try some, 'Rain Dogs' and 'Swordfishtrombones' or 'Blue Valentine' see for yourself :) |

Thanks Morton, will do. BTW Morton. Were you once in a band called A-Ha? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
..euh no :) did they have a band member called Morton then? i like some of their stuff though . taaaaake ooooon meeeee i think i could be a band member of theirs i think i just could |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Yeah, he was the lead singer wasn't he; the dreamboat. Morton Harkett or something. |

marc ribot was playing guitar for rain dogs...it makes the album even better as it already is waits is a great songwriter but the music doesnt stay behind...always has great people playing for him btw, i have an a-ha album...how abou that hehe i remember when i heard the first single of this album -i forgot the title but it was about moon and earth -i was really impressed (im easy to impress) |
||||||||

i have all of his albums, and therre is not one song i don't like. of howeverr many songs he has made, not one do i skip. that's saying something. |
||||||||
|
|

The Piano has Been Drinking Small Change album greatest lyrics ever written The piano has been drinking my necktie is asleep and the combo went back to New York the jukebox has to take a leak and the carpet needs a haircut and the spotlight looks like a prison break cause the telephone's out of cigarettes and the balcony's on the make and the piano has been drinking the piano has been drinking... and the menus are all freezing and the lightman's blind in one eye and he can't see out of the other and the piano-tuner's got a hearing aid and he showed up with his mother and the piano has been drinking the piano has been drinking cause the bouncer is a Sumo wrestler cream puff casper milk toast and the owner is a mental midget with the I.Q. of a fencepost cause the piano has been drinking the piano has been drinking... and you can't find your waitress with a Geiger counter And she hates you and your friends and you just can't get served without her and the box-office is drooling and the bar stools are on fire and the newspapers were fooling and the ash-trays have retired the piano has been drinking the piano has been drinking The piano has been drinking not me, not me, not me, not me, not me |

i'm quite a fan of Tom Waits myself. Don't own Frank's Wild Years yet, but i hopefully will soon. I own Rain Dogs, Small Change, Blood Money, Alice and Mule Variations and I love them all. This guy never gets old to me. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
hmm, i think mule variations became my favourite...it's awesome!! can't wait for the new one either :) |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Franks Wild Years roxx0rs. but really all of his music is super, just super! |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
I dislike Tom Waits music. Don't get it at all... |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
have you heard all of it? there's quite a bit, and there's quite some variation going on. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
i'd love to see him live one day...what are odds for that? there was no tour after the release of blood money7alice, i'd be nice if he did one after the release of the new album... |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
I would like that too. he was over here after "mule variations" came out and I didn't go. I'm dumb. :( |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
this old guy is good ? gosh, what the world is coming into..... maybe he's even sex bomb, huh ? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
i heard plenty of his music - a CD full of mp3s. Liked a bit only one song - the first one from Mule Variations. Maybe I need to relisten - it is years since I heard that disc. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
let's hope he tours again...im affraid though, that he's having trouble with his voice and it wouldn't last long if he did a show every second night or so...hmm hyakusen, you'd have to ask ladies that, but im sure plenty would find him hot. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
big in japan is excellent, but there are some better songs on mule variation...do a relisten, yes :) |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||

hes old, snobby, fussy bastard with pockets full of money taken from his gig's, which are boring, pretentious, ovverrated and way too much expensive. his music is cooked by several specialists just to make money, no ideology, no soul in it. hes too old to be sexbomb, and hes even too old to sign properly, his voice is mastered on all his albums, its very very shitty pop music, worst even than boysbands or stupid euro-techno. this is what i think of him and his music, but if you disagree - well, its up to you. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
no, no....i actually agree completly. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
this is kind of what I think of him.. overrated is the word. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
i just listened to mule variations for the second time today...this guy is brilliant!! thank god we have people like this...it's a great break from all electronic crap i've been listening to lately. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
youre not normal if you think that tom waits is brilliant, sorry |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
you're right there again. people don't consider me normal... |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Nice break from electronic crap.. if you have the chance, check out, for example, Hector Zazou and/or Aksak Maboul... > Tom Waits :) |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
i'll see if i can find something. thanks! |
||||||||

I would have shared, if I could. :( |

I have one track by him (untitled), it's this jointy organ affair & sounds very much like me when I play keys. I enjoy it very much & I must get more stuff by Mr Waits..... |
||||||||
