Tom Waits Interview.(Rat Catcher)

[@Wendededed]

This is the best episode of Antiques Roadshow that I've ever seen!

[@Just_Another_Hoosier]

OP, I couldn't agree more.

[@pena.3302]

♪ There's always free cheddar in a mouse trap, baby, it's a deal! It's a deal!

[@turkeyladle]

I like his interviews almost as much as his music!

[@gregormiller4037]

Check out coffee and cigarettes, you will die laughtin:)

[@tommanserable]

Yeah, me too. They're both a pretentious load of shite.

[@subtitledEN]

@@tommanserable You can call Waits' music anything but pretentious. At least put some effort in your trolling.

[@forestsource5081]

Yeah, just like people who say shite instead of shit? Do you prefer shoppe to shop to? Twat. Watching interviews to talk shit in the comments

[@joshkresnik6402]

His episodes ARE his music. The things he conveys in interviews intertwine with his music

[@Gunshywally1369]

"Henry Ford's dying breath." got me dead.

[@Doctor-Stoppage]

How many must die? 😱😩😫

[@syaoranoni54326]

A great musician, and a great comedian.

[@keef71]

love his music but had always thought he would be a grouchy 'artiste' - but watching some of these clips, he has such a sharp surreal sense of humour, not scared of sending himself up and all the funnier for the deadpan delivery

[@TheDreamingJune]

I always figured he'd be a grumpy guy but was pleasantly surprised to find he's quite the opposite of that. He's wickedly funny in an unexpected way. A cool eccentric person.

[@austinholm-mcrae2777]

I was born in 88, and raised on Tom Waits. Swordfish Trombones was one of the first CDs I ever owned, and I own a vinyl first pressing of Rain Dogs, which is not a cheap album to own. I have been aware of the man's sheer brilliance as a true artist, showman, comedian, and wonderful human being, since before I can remember. Tom Waits is my spirit animal... Tom Waits, hallowed be thy name...

[@SamuelDahlmatnetaphisica]

A few guests are so good with Dave, the chemistry and respect is palpable and I live them both.

[@pmacc3557]

I was watching him on a late late show in Ireland an interview from 1981

[@Gioagla]

I just love this guy ...he s a great figure

[@krycklund]

When he started describing how it functioned it almost started to sound like one of his spoken word songs.

[@87Jaws]

Tom waits is my role model. He is his own person and looks at life so different and imaginative.

[@rolandpeachie9807]

I love Tom Waits - he has a cool part in The Book of Eli with Denzel Washington, funny guy !

[@PlayNiceFolks]

Damn, great movie and i havnt seen it in years and ive only recently started being aware of Tom Waits. Definitely my next movie night pick

[@jM-iq5hf]

He's even better in Mystery Men. Very funny

[@TheDreamingJune]

Tom has a delightful sense of humour. He's one of my favourite people in music.

[@Athikaful]

He is a born salesman. hehe

[@kevinkeelan354]

Some people are born legends.

[@The11oclockBluez]

Random celebrity guest: "I want to be on your show to talk about my forgettable movie that's coming out and my latest marriage that will last a month" Dave: " *sigh* Fine. I guess so." Tom Waits: "Dave, I've got an archaic rat trap and an anecdote about jogging." Dave: "Abso-fuckin'-lutely! Get over here you beautiful man!"

[@miralabualjadail4206]

When Dave says I have one just like it and Waits smirks. You can tell he appreciates him. The wit is uncanny. Real recognises real.

[@miralabualjadail4206]

@THE NEW HOUSE Jealousy. Lol You wish. Loser.

[@JVTrickypants]

Huge Tom and Letterman fan...but I am absolutely mind blown with 1) How amazing the engineering was that I couldn't see, and 2) He brought this on to Letterman??? Amazingly hilarious and brilliant men the both of them.

[@RichardHBlumberg]

Tom Waits and his new Artifact!

[@michaelsena7445]

They are fantastic together

[@FocusReborn44]

He seems a lot more outgoing these days. In the early interviews I've seen of him he's quite shy and reserved.

[@guitarman64100]

Seriously, he's not nearly as weird as he once was, still makes fantastic music though

[@blessedspear2642]

guitarman64100 he's sobered up

FocusReborn he was an alcoholic for most of the 70s and the early 80s. He was a little out of it then

[@beanseff]

Sirun B when I was drinking I was out there...I still drink but now I drink more...

[@garryhyland2795]

He was very self medicated

[@avathompson9571]

What an interesting man.

[@hughmacintyre7000]

[@aaronnelsonmusic5971]

Best episode of antiques roadshow ever

[@codiefitz3876]

What’s he BUILDING in there...?

[@themusicofnewyork1570]

We have a right to know...

[@sharonlee4773]

Still keeping up the pretence 50 years in

[@PatTheBatmanFan]

2nd time I’ve seen Tom wear that jacket on Letterman.

[@joshblahnamehere2308]

dang man, awesome link there

[@vittoriacongiu2252]

Tom Waits is a master mind.

[@MrTomstazz]

its crazy the difference between him now and him back in the day

[@JoranBerserk]

Yeah... just saw an interview of him from 1979. Man... it's like another person.

[@BobBob-cy8di]

A true artist

[@steinzky7736]

love this man

[@trcsonic]

The real Joker!

[@pena.3302]

As Real as Any Joker.Whom pursues Music/Entertainment..Gr8'Way to think of Tom Waits..good 1.

[@dianarhyne]

I just watched Tom on Late Night, with Jimmie Falon. He's wearing the same clothes and promoting 'Bad as Me.' Making the rounds. 🐭

[@focalized]

Tom needs to do a podcast before it's too late.

[@HumanRiff69]

Sure, I understand why it was sold at a music store.

[@micheller6804]

I was waiting for him to reveal the mouthpiece and play it like a recorder. This did not occur. 😕

[@tukpunker]

this was my first introduction to Tom.

[@richardbutler4528]

All these videos and I haven't heard Tom sing yet!

[@JVTrickypants]

"The last thing I bought on Ebay was the last dying breath of Henry Ford.""

[@alessandrorossini8704]

He's a cool guy, a very few others are as cool in the world. 😄😄

[@beluwuga]

Bruh... He should be a stand-up comedian, he would be one of the greatest stand up comedians out there... he just rolls with it.... dang ... that’s ____ tho.

[@ms6256]

If only there was a larger version of the rat trap for politicians.

[@AGoodJoe]

Brilliant

[@shimmySchermerhorn-dk1gi]

Available on Amazon or Macy's just for the Holiday Season. $29.95 . Get one while supplies last. HA !

[@weirdsearchhistory5876]

I can imagine somebody using that rat trap to its full capability, recording it and then posting the video to KZbin. That person would have to go into hiding afterward.

[@JohnTLyon]

Diabolically clever!!!

[@vidarbonsak7855]

That rat trap has 'Tom Waits' written all over it.

[@AbsentWithoutLeaving]

Someone in the 1800s had a vision...

[@blp100]

“Jamaicans on grass” hahahahahaha

[@fifzeppelin]

Such a stark difference compared to the interview with fallon about the same album

[@Saynt614]

Holy shit... Heath Ledger totally based his Joker off this guy

[@vc2422]

Tom Waits is literally The Joker..

[@arturoivanrodriguezchinchi9259]

inspiration fot the Joker (Dark Night)????

[@overnightgrowth]

fun fact he was the inspiration forheath ledger's performance

[@ryanpatrick4847]

You have to go back to find this

[@AnnaLVajda]

I saw David Lynch bring a mouse trap he built on a talk show once but I do like antiques so it's hard to pick a favourite. I think Dave responded to Toms trap better than the other host did to Davids and that's unfortunate since he did build it himself.

[@AnnaLVajda]

Waits is a Tomcat though the best ones kill rats and mice for you.

[@afrikazanj7768]

One stop shopping 😆

[@chaosinorderrr]

that was fascinating as fuck

[@luvdomus]

Boy, his voice is about shot. The whiskey-and-cigarettes gravel thing was always forced with him anyway, and now he's got no lower register at all. Soon he'll be in Jack Klugman territory. Great artist, though.

[@manemane9500]

Anyone else here from the Heath Ledger documentary? For those who aren't, apparently, Tom Waits style and mannerisms in this particular interview were an inspiration for Heath Ledger's portrayal of the Joker. Here's a link if you want to check it out. It's worth a watch: kzbin.info/www/bejne/jpm6p3mHlt9sns0

[@nicholashardie-sowash3034]

Looks like the joker, from batman, without the makeup on in his earlier days!!!

[@philipjones8425]

He was actually a big influence in heath ledger in regards to his mannerisms and voice, check out an interview he did for an Australian chat show in 1979 to hear what is essentially the joker speaking!

Heath Ledger’s Batman voice is clearly a Tom Waite impression.
