rodger. Posted October 2, 2017 Report Share Posted October 2, 2017 A legend lost - I learned to play guitar to many of his songs as a kid. Rest peacefully Tom Petty. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Woodenskye Posted October 2, 2017 Report Share Posted October 2, 2017 Definetly stinks that he passed, however some media outlets have said the report is false, but clinging to life. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wdwerker Posted October 2, 2017 Report Share Posted October 2, 2017 Yea, it seems unconfirmed at all the places I looked. But if he's been taken off life support it could just be a matter of time..... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gary Posted October 3, 2017 Report Share Posted October 3, 2017 Yeah, I am beyond bummed out. Tom Petty was a huge influence on me musically. On a related note in current events, the guy that was the lighting director in the band that I toured with is now Jason Aldean's lighting director. He and the entire crew are safe, but understandably completely freaked out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wtnhighlander Posted October 3, 2017 Report Share Posted October 3, 2017 Can anyone confirm Petty's decease? The latest internet 'news' is calling reprts of his death 'erroneous'. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Eric. Posted October 3, 2017 Author Report Share Posted October 3, 2017 Jeez guys, no wonder no one can agree on anything in this country anymore. I don't know where y'all get your news from...but Tom Petty is dead. National Enquirer = not exactly reliable. LOL Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gee-dub Posted October 3, 2017 Report Share Posted October 3, 2017 This is why they are called "NEWS Shows" and not "The NEWS". True journalism in America is on life support. Seriously, no pun intended. What a terrible injustice to one's family to have sources so eager to sensationalize an event that they cannot even get it straight. Yet another reason I avoid TV.

Cliff Posted October 4, 2017 Report Share Posted October 4, 2017 You know, a lot of his older stuff is great, but I gotta say, my favorite song is The Last DJ. I love to play it too, even though it's very repetitive (much like Free Fallin) I listened to that song 4 or 5 times on the way home from work today.

Eric. Posted October 4, 2017 Author Report Share Posted October 4, 2017 49 minutes ago, Cliff said: The Last DJ Great album. Petty was one of the few old rockers who wrote good songs his entire career. Most of them peaked in the 70s and wrote mediocre to dog**** songs after they turned 40. It's a real loss. He was a heavyweight. This is the most bummed I've been about a musician's death since George Harrison. Ironically both Wilburys and good buddies. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
