Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers - MOJO (Documentary Directed by Sam Jones)

[@bradgamson3635]

For a lot of us, Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers are the soundtrack of our lives. To me, The Last DJ, MOJO and Hypnotic Eye are the culmination and best of their career. I don't think I have heard one track on the radio from any of these albums and yet they are some of the best emotionally and artistically by this band. So much passion, heart and soul. After seeing this 13 minute video, I now know why this is true for me. I miss this band so much but very thankful I have their music to enjoy.

[@craigtrexler8156]

Most of the stuff that I like is not on the radio

[@beefhamma]

Couldn't agree more. So many great songs in those more recent albums. And there are so many gems hiding in plain sight on older records.

[@danieldee5631]

Completely agree!

[@HungryH1951]

[@jswanson859]

Totally agree. I'm so thankful I was able to see them several times throughout their career. If there was ever a band that seemed to come up with the perfect part on their respective instrument, it was this band. The grooves were killer and lyrics just magical. I miss this band very much.

[@MrPernell27]

Springsteen rocks, but Tom Petty and the heartbreakers are definetly the greatest American rock band ever. No doubt about it!!

[@scottsodyssey2485]

I considered the Eagles the greatest American band for years but when they didnt follow up Hell Freezes over with an original album immediately and just became a regurgitating tour band ($$$) for the next decade plus they lost my interest. And when they finally came out with the dumpster fire of Long Road Out of Eden I was done with them. Id been a Petty fan for years but that's when I put Petty and the Heartbreakers past the Eagles in my opinion. And looking back I don't know why it took me that long. Tom Pettys body of work far surpasses the Eagles. I don't get ga-ga over celebrities very often but when the news broke that Tom Petty died that was a truly a sad day. Still listen to him daily 2020.

[@aammdj]

These guys are among the greatest but sorry, nobody owns the title of "greatest American rock band ever" more than Aerosmith. They have remained all original for a half-century...minus the one record and tour in the early 80s. They remade themselves to fit into the MTV era. They broke ground with the melding of rock and rap with RUN DMC. Sold 150+ million records...almost twice Tom's commercial success. They have remained relevant (as did Tom) through every musical twist and turn of the last 5 decades...and they're still going strong. I will admit their end of career output was nothing close to as strong as Tom's was but they are truly the kings of American rock.

[@seurynck]

@@aammdj Aerosmith? They should have quit in 1975, after the 3rd album. How about Chuck Berry with Johnnie Johnson on piano? Buddy Holly and the Crickets? Aerosmith tried to be cool. The Heartbreakers were cool. Big difference...

[@shawnuel]

As usual, Petty's instinct to let Campbell loose on this record was the right move. Man, Mike is just a RIDICULOUS player. Incidentally, Scott Thurston is a very undervalued member of The Heartbreakers. He can do a little bit of everything but his harp playing really opened up this record.

[@sercastamere9853]

@James Schultz - I definitely agree! 'Wildflowers' and 'MOJO' are their best

[@tuxiekins]

D.H. Withers yes for sure Full Moon Fever up there as well Too bad HELP ME never released as far as I know

[@debbiemeek3741]

I’m just now learning about the different members of the band, and I feel bad that this clip is the first I’ve heard of Scott Thurston. It’s been 5 months now and I’ve gone from listening to everyday to listening first thing in the morning. Of course, I’ve loved Tom & really just thought of the “Heartbreakers” as Tom’s band, but Wow! NOW I am always going to think of Mike Campbell as one of the BEST guitarist’s of all times. And Benmont Tench... Can’t think of the Drummer’s name but Stan Lynch also. I LOVE how Tom says he just comes in with a song (or basically a concept) & then let’s it firm as each member contributes! They REALLY ARE SOMETHING ELSE.

[@shawnuel]

@@debbiemeek3741 Steve Ferrone is the drummer you are trying to remember. He joined full time as a Heartbreaker during the Wildflowers recording.

[@jbock622]

I am 24 years old and I really got into Tom Petty's music a couple of years ago and over time he became my favorite artist. Such a true music legend and it's the really only the greatest musicians that have the kind of longevity and talent that he had when it comes to making so many hits over the years. The world definitely needs a better taste in music and I hope that people can find an artist that resonates with them like Tom Petty has resonated with me, because he was such a unique talent and should be celebrated as one of the greatest musicians of all-time. May God rest his soul.

Sometimes, peeking behind the curtain can be a dangerous thing. You may see something you wished you hadn't seen, you may feel different about the subject. Not in this case...if it was any more possible to love TP & The HB's, this documentary has done it. What an honor to see true musical genius at work...all of them. This should be required viewing for any fan of music, especially musicians...from beginners to lifers. This is what real talent and real players look and sound like. Guys that could have phoned it in from a successful 30+ year career but the love of music and each other compelled them to work for something bigger than themselves. Not having to chase the next hit but at peace with where they were at in their career and lives. Thank you to Tom Petty & The Heartbreakers for sharing their music & talent with us.

[@ktpinnacle]

He always cared about the quality of his music. I wish he took some time to care more about his health, so he could have produced more of it. Quite a loss, and it'll be felt for a long time.

[@bryanmannoia8410]

one of the best rock records ever made! Mike shines on this one.

[@michaelvinson4320]

I've listened to the Heartbreakers since '76. They've always been very good (like in the mid-eighties when lots of seventies rockers "lost their way")...but quite often they've been excellent. And since basically "Wildflowers" ('93), they've done whatever they wanted, not worrying so much about making hits, as Mike Campbell comments. And since then, they've become very probably the best band in the USA. Bar none. When I got back and listen to their 70's and early 80's stuff, which is great, I cant' help but feel that somehow, Petty and the Heartbreakers have actually gotten BETTER with time. Like a fine wine. Thanks for posting this!

I am actually the very proud owner of #97 out of 1OOO Produced to the public... it’s a Mint condition 1991 Rickenbacker 66O 12 String Tom Petty Limited Edition.... Ive never really been blown away by any signature guitars, however this is by far my very favorite guitar ... very low action also Rickenbacker set the string spacing as close as they could without the strings vibrating into each other ... giving the effect that the two string pairs begin to feel like one string ... seriously... I could play the 12 string RIC the day I got it, never ever played a 12 in my life, friends in the neighborhood and family Actually can’t believe I’m as decent a player as I have evolved into.... huge Thank You to TOM PETTY and THE HEARTBREAKERS.... FOR INSPIRING ME TO LOVE VINTAGE GEAR.. LEARNING TO FLY F - C - Am - G (Repeat over an over and over until end). No other chord changes at all not even the choruses... if you don’t have a 12 string use a touch of Chorus to try to achieve that octave overtone Rickenbacker Sound it comes fairly close, close enough to play this song .... chords are easy lyrics are as well and Fun as hell to play once you get into the groove of the strumming pattern... jangly RICKENBACKERS. Tom and Mikes love affair is Rare Rickenbackers.... anyways the guitar is patterned from Mike Campbell’s Rickenbacker that Tom is wearing on DAMN THE TORPEDOES. That particular 12 string belongs to Mike ...

[@rubbersole79]

Great album. Really underrated.

[@MartinWeeksmw]

I always love documentaries on musicians and bands that "Focus" on their music. So this is a great video. I wish more upcoming wanna be pop stars would pay attention to films like this. Partially because the attention is on The "Heartbreakers" not "TOM PETTY" Tom has always made mention of how fortunate he feels to have these specific musicians for a band. and this video and of course the album itself shows us all why. thank You.

[@marimbadearco]

Well, compared to anything about Prince, for example, who held the world at arm's length, that's for sure. Petty really let Zanes hang out at all kinds of things, and gave him hours and hours of one on one interviews over many months. But he only read over the final draft, gave a few comments, and held to his promise that the book was Zane's. The result is good. To me the interviews with Tom's daughter Adria were the most interesting and revealing. Rock on.

[@mt5464]

Definitely a good read.

@@marimbadearco There was 1 thing he asked Zane to change. It was back from the '80's and was about Bob Dylan....so he did go back on his word once and he explained to Zane why...Zane took it out. TP was friends with Dylan and even though Zane said it was really nothing "bad" or even negative in Zane's opinion, TP didn't in any way want to do anything to tarnish his friendship with Bob Dylan. Their friendship was more important, so Zane took it out without any problems. This info came from an interview with Zane.
