RIP.

Wildflowers was one of the first albums I listened to fully everytime I played it, instead of just going for the singles. Was also the first album I double dipped on, buying the cassette and upgrading to CD when I got a CD player.

 

[Christian]

Son of a BITCH.

 

[adamsappel]

Sad news. One of the greats. RIP.

 

[gutterboy44]

God damn it. Turns out this day could get worse. RIP Tom. You're a fucking legend.

 

[Jeff-DSA]

Awful. He's been one of my favorite musicians and personalities for a long, long time. I'm lucky to have seen him perform and to have followed his career for so long.

We lost an all-time great one today.

 

[F0rneus]

Rest in peace. He was brilliant.

 

[ZiggyPalffyLA]

Fuck. I know it's too soon but the pun is obvious, right?

No. Fuck off with whatever dumb joke you’re trying to make.

 

[friskykillface]

RIP

 

[hoserx]

One of my favorite all time artists. Cliche to say of course, but too young too soon.

 

[Ascenion]

God Fucking damn today. Fuck you 2017. Fuck fuck fuck fuck you.

 

[Instro]

Real bummer, my fiance and I were thinking about going to the show at the Hollywood Bowl the other week, but we were too busy.

 

[LifEndz]

Rest In Peace. Painful to lose a legend.

 

[IrishNinja]

goddammit nooooooo


saw dude in the early aughts for like $20 something, and he was amazing. fuck

 

[SafeinSound]

Well this week blows already.

 

[mreddie]

Godspeed Tom.

 

[Seiryoden]

An unmistakable, unforgettable voice. RIP.

 

[x Power Pad Death Stomp x]

Very sad. I saw him on tour for Wildflowers and it was awesome. Completely different type of music than what I normally listen to by ti loved his music. RIP

 

[El Odio]

FUCK. I just saw him live for the first time a month or so ago here in Chicago. Glad I got to have the chance. Dude's music was the playlist for some of my college years. RIP

 

[nintendoman58]

RIP.

 

[buttery fistful]

My dad opened me up to Tom and the Heartbreakers at an early age. RIP

 

[hitme]

RIP.

 

[VARIA]

RIP.

Man, so sad.

He looked great at the Hollywood Bowl just a couple of days ago.

 

[pablito]

Glad I was able to see him in the early 2000s. RIP.

 

[ElectricBlanketFire]

My dad opened me up to Tom and the Heartbreakers at an early age. RIP

Same. I remember thinking "Running Down A Dream" was the coolest song I had ever heard.

 

[Dalek]

You Don't Know How It Feels

This is a fucking great song. Rest in peace, Tom.

 

[Saganator]

Really busted up over this. Seemed like a great guy and he was a great artist. One of the first artists I liked.

RIP Tom Petty. We lost a legend today.

 

[hoserx]

My dad opened me up to Tom and the Heartbreakers at an early age. RIP

Same here. Tom Petty is two years older than my Dad, so it always reminds me of how fragile time becomes. This is sad.

 

[Syder]

Can we go back to September?

 

[TissueBox]

RIP to a music diamond.

 

[LegendofJoe]

I loved your music Tom, so sad to see you go. Thank you for enriching my life and the lives of so many others.

 

[StopMakingSense]

Wildflowers was the first CD i bought.

 

[Kadin]

Fuck. I know it's too soon but the pun is obvious, right?

I don't even know how people can think this, let alone post it. Hope you're happy with yourself.

 

[Marvie_3]

Holy fucking shit.

 

[legacyzero]

What a shitty... SHITTY day

 

[Slackbladder]

Oh bollocks! Bollocks and fuck!
RIP, man.

 

[VeryGooster]

Fuck man. Fuck. RIP. One of my favorites.

 

[BobTheFork]

Fuck, that was sudden. I wonder what cause the heart attack.

 

[Zeusy]

Rip

 

[hoserx]

I don't even know how people can think this, let alone post it. Hope you're happy with yourself.

Most would agree it was poor taste but let's not all jump on the dude. Some folks deal with grief in different ways. I'm sure there was no insult intended, and the fact that one of his lyrics were so quickly associated for the poster shows that Tom Petty had some sort of impact on his life.

 

[Dog Problems]

Love his music. Rest in peace.

What a shitty day.

 

[itwasTuesday]

RIP

Unexpectedly fast turn.

 

[Rival]

Wow. What a shit day. Love tom petty.

 

[otapnam]

One of the greats. RIP

 

[suplex]

Damn.

RIP to a true legend.

Fortunate to be able to see him live twice. The first time I sat upper level to the side of the stage and you could see him switching out his guitar in between every song which I thought was rad.

 

[old manatee]

No.

 

[FrenchMovieTheme]

Fuck

 

[Stinkles]

RIP. I never met him, but I stayed at a house in Hawaii next door to him, where we blasted Heartbreakers stuff almost every night as a form of passive aggressive tribute.

Guy was a legend.

 

[Violence Jack]

Dammit. That's the 2nd time I had the opportunity to see a legend perform but had to turn it down within the last year (Prince was the other) only to have them pass away shortly afterwards. RIP.

 

[Jeff-DSA]

Rock In Peace, Tom.

 

[Setzer]

What a shitty way to start the week.

RIP to a Legend. =(
