[@wheater5]

This guy could actually BE the Werewolf of London! Brilliant!

[@stevenking2678]

he looks a bit though

[@oscillatewildly6553]

I've always thought that Tex Perkins looks like Chewbacca if he was shaved ... It's not so evident here but if you look up The Cruel Sea live you'll see it! The Cruel Sea are a great band anyway

[@damedolladame]

Tex Perkins is a fantastic singer. Under rated by a landslide.

[@denysemcalister3390]

Tex, you're an amazing performer. Love your work.

[@Salvo100]

Tex covers EVERYTHING excellent, including Johnny Cash!!

[@davidfavero4852]

I was listening to the original version of this song and suddenly had an urge to hear a cover of it. I couldn't have asked for better!

[@rodp1654]

me to ha ha

[@KenOath1234]

Tex is a living legend

[@stargazer6753]

Yes indeed.

[@asimrashid3383]

This guy's voice is awesome..He sounds like he eats gravel for breakfast and boulders for lunch

[@OrggsOrggs]

no thats Tom Waits you are thinking of. But yeah this guy rocks.

[@aafisher100]

Love Tex.. If you think his voice is rough, search out Hillbilly blues explosion 'My love for evermore'' .. good song too.

[@chrisb1953]

Reminiscent also of David Johansen and Howlin' Wolf (most appropriate for this song!)

[@mikerieck306]

I have seen Tex gargle with razor blades

[@9929kingfish]

Lol.

[@samd899]

Warren Zevon's Werewolves of London is a great song, and Warren does a great performance. However, it's not often that a cover version of a song is as good as or better than the original, but this really is! Great execution and amazing sound quality! Turn it up!!🙂👍

[@bucketheadistheman]

Better? Kids, stay off drugs.

[@mikemorris4592]

Spot on voice for this song. The band is damn fine as well. Bravo!!

[@restoblast1387]

That's the Rockwiz band, every song they do is great. 1 of the best shpws ever on Australian television. 😎👌

[@mrmaxpower1]

Couldnt ask for a Better singer to sing this song other than the man tex perkins

[@alanlane3670]

The best guitarist I have seen in a long while.....

[@fuzzy8mike]

Nailed it Mr Perkins !

[@robertparker4833]

Love to hear Tex do ‘Excitable Boy.’ Awesome ! 🇦🇺👍🏻

[@johnm7251]

Warren Zevon was such a great songwriter

[@JJ-ym8bu]

Love big Tex. This is a great version of a great song. Agggggggggh hoooooooooo.

[@slayorcs]

The wonderful Tex. Been a fan since Beasts of Bourbon days.

[@sergioquiroga1684]

Auuuuuuuuuuuuuu...., werewolves of London...!!!!!!!, greetings from Chile - 2021....\../

[@pureone26]

Under appreciated aussie. Loved Tex's recent tribute to the aussie PM, 'the honeymoon is over.

[@martinfrancis3733]

Tex is not underrated. He's the most legendary front man, fronting the legendary Beasts of Bourbon, Cruel Sea, the Johnny's, the Dark Hoses Tex Don and Charlie, Ring of Fire. He is a living legend, thank you and you're welcome

[@poweringon864]

Seriously, I cannot die and rest in peace until Tex sings at my grave...just how it is

[@seabreeze3906]

Tex was perfect for this song choice.

[@Rossk58]

Best version of this song ever, there is a huge gap to next best, whoever that it. Rarely heard a song sung in such a way the singer could be the subject. Just awesome.

[@grungefan1009]

That was brilliantly performed. Well done

[@splattered63]

Fantastic Tex - bloody fantastic

[@MmeDesgranges]

And his hair was .... perfect.

[@donhanlon7121]

Best line ever👌

[@skullivanfranklin4117]

Nice Cover ...RIP Warren !

[@jaylevzi7293]

This is a great cover , awesome.

[@scribbler3894]

The original Werewolf of London sings 'Werewolves of London' good shit!

[@iCarolyn1]

Brilliant performer...great to see live no matter what he does

[@Mrdayz]

Tex Perkins went to the Swagger Store. Bought their entire stock.

[@Ommm2z]

❤😂

[@stevejory9679]

Great version of a classic.

[@Harrygreen111]

Perfect voice to be singing this , geez he made me lock my front door

[@elkabong6429]

Great job! 👏👏👏

[@mikeperth8027]

Tex Perkins. Legend mate!!!!

[@Glock111]

Jeez it has been so long since I last heard this one thanks for the collaborative performance well done really well done to all involved!

[@joeh23]

Tex OWNS this song.

[@greg8598]

Tex personifies the alpha male rock star. But ya can't help but like him. Born performer.

[@johndrayton9244]

For sure. A towering figure in person. Saw him at the Tote in Melbourne tears back. But when you listen to his solo stuff you realise he's quite a sensitive man.

[@scalefish]

best thing I've seen Tex do in a while. Good gear.

[@nicholaslacovara2381]

The irony is Warren Zevon thought this song was awful mostly because of the lyrics. The problem - the music was too good and now we have a song we all love and this version does it much credit in the vocal area.

[@michaelginever732]

Three chords never sounded better.

[@AndySmithCoachingLeaders]

Warren was too hard on himself IMO

[@DougEstridge]

I share your opinion but believe he would be impressed by this one.@@AndySmithCoachingLeaders

[@AndySmithCoachingLeaders]

@@DougEstridge I agree. Plus Tex looks more like a werewolf

[@phillee6214]

Awesome love it

[@seany84uk]

Best cover of this song ive heard!

[@stephendobson7023]

Bloody Awesome

[@kevandfrank1]

Big Tex commands any stage. Grunts, growls and roars....

[@davidbarratt3387]

Bring back rock wiz 2021

[@annarks70]

Howlin Tex!! Song was made for him!

[@prosperow]

And his hair was perfect!

[@mickbrown7578]

Just feckin amazing

[@viniciomicheletti4571]

Auuuuuuuuu🐺good cover🎸👏👏👏

[@bokirana1]

LOVED IT aaaa ooooo😄

[@Ommm2z]

I didn't come to your show It was too expensive 🤠

[@SimonA-dm5no]

Excellent!

[@russellritchings8082]

The voice of rusty barbedwire, wrapped in velvet.

[@poweringon864]

love you so much Texxx

[@joru3101]

Greatest.

[@Mrdayz]

Swagger. Bags of rock-god swagger

[@Ommm2z]

?😮☝️

[@WILDGEESE399]

TEX PERKINS WHAT A LEGEND

[@mowglihassan3739]

Fantastic, it's almost like Warren Z. Considering it's live, he might even do it better. More covers of the best songwriter ever please.

[@lindanorris2455]

oh warren we MISS YOU!

[@HansCholo619]

Well DONE!!!

[@MizMite2002]

I really like the keyboard player. plays all the tunes.

[@chrisb1953]

Please Rockwiz include more Warren Zevon covers. "Lawyers Guns and Money" springs to mind as a good candidate.

[@wendellburkhart2483]

That's the best I've ever heard that song done , other than Warren Zevon I think was the first one that recorded that ... If I'm wrong Plz correct me . So good right there and that man could sing the phone book with the voice he's got !!

[@heatherwanamaker8000]

great

[@walterbrau9852]

Great Stuff

[@booradley0x0]

If I ever met tex perkins, Id lose my god damn mind.

[@maritaaldridge4362]

Love Tex

[@michaelginever732]

The song suits Tex to a tee.

[@Moltipsycho]

El mejor.

[@1969mangusta]

Why have I just now discovered this version?!?!?!?!?? Amazing!!! I don't even like the original!!!

[@hawktalon7890]

This and the Adam Sandler cover are just the best.

[@independentmusicstage]

Added to the Independent Music Stage “Happy Halloween” playlist (in October!)

[@pedrogunn9950]

Werevolverine does the Flaming Groovies who did Warren Zevon?! Cooool! 😎👍

[@debgarnham4748]

Perfect

[@outahere2k188]

Onya Tex ya Legend.

[@mclark1708]

[@stargazer6753]

[@alanroy5899]

[@paulelliott3220]

Brilliant Warren's classic - done really well Got to love the material if you can do it justice Nice job

[@notmyrealnameful]

One of the best lyrics in rock."Little old lady got mutilated late last night"

[@garthpeck9941]

Naah..."Saw Lon Chaney JUNIOR walking with the Queen, doing the werewolf of London" is mine.

[@dms3393]

Oh yes..

[@davidburne9477]

Yes, the alliteration is “perfect”

[@pod9363]

Every syllable glides over creamily to the next 😍

[@caseyjones0113]

❤️

[@PAULTHOMSON-s8k]

NICE

[@fenp77]

I actually prefer this version over the original, that Firebird sounds superb!!

[@ElDanMan86]

Who knew that David Harbour sang so well!!?

[@jaya.0069]

Very good, this guy must me related to the late Joe Cocker judging from his movements and husky voice!!

[@rastenger]

I'd like to meet his tailor....

[@dms3393]

Second best version of the song!

[@PeterScott-g5i]

Wow

[@normancrew2739]

Why is Warren not residing in the Rock & Roll Hall Of Fame?

[@aus80srockradio94]

Tex.

[@jockflock8944]

No one mentioning Ash? Just Tex? Philistines

[@aarnaarn1904]

tex p - what a spanker - great cover haha

[@dandesantis478]

Anybody knows where to find a shirt like the one Tex Is wearing here?

[@melissagraceroberts4366]

Tex is HOT!!!!!!!!!

[@grahamsheehan6409]

Obviously a Warren fan ....

[@fortunelaurence9055]

The real werewolf in London!

[@mattconnolly1729]

Is Tex still around ? Little bit less tonsil varnish maybe . Pretty good but no one will ever top Zevon

[@dms3393]

Damn good version, doesn't beat Warren Zevon's version, But what could?

[@craigpollard9128]

this is heaps better

[@NathanChisholm041]

Originals always win but there's so good covers out there

[@LARRYLONGSTRETH]

They figured the only way to really cover it was by having an actual werewolf sing
