How he hasn't even been nominated for the Rock Hall is beyond any words.

[@DerekMogambo]

2 fucking words, bubba~ #JannWenner Another useless retread from the old days of Rock&Roll. Hunter Thompson knew him for the boot-licking puppet he became, after he got a little notoriety & ca$h.

[@rosswarner5782]

I am finishing an article for Glide Magazine on this very travesty and will post a link when it's live

[@DerekMogambo]

hey, maaannnn~ i was just checking my old mail & was wondering if that article is up & readable yet, eh?

[@rosswarner5782]

will be soon and will post a link

[@DerekMogambo]

"kewl" looking forward to it~ heh heh guess I was "feeling my oats" w/that 1st comment~ you think it's true that JW has been the major (roadblock/blackballer) obstructor, or would that be a spoiler for the piece~!?? Ross Warner

[@murrayscott9546]

Warren. Nothing more needs to be said.

Y'know, for some songs, you can never have TOO many guitarists.

[@mattcrocker9508]

I saw him on Letterman what would be his last interview .. he had been diagnosed terminal and didn't have much time left . Dave ask if he had any advise he said yea "enjoy every sandwich" .... I think about that now and then and try to enjoy ... it all

[@donaldbiordi]

Warren's version of this song was the first time I heard this song until Bruce did his own version and I have to say, I love and miss Warren tremendously

[@suesjoy]

I always loved this song- - so I was shocked when I heard it on Springsteen’s new album! But now I understand the history. I miss Warren Zevon. I think this was my favorite of his.

[@fasteddie9867]

wow 40 years to the date! God bless you Warren!!

[@janiskerker]

Love him always, hope he's in heaven.

[@audiofella5066]

Three guitars PERFECT!!!!!!

[@dsauce223]

Hotline Bling has about ten million likes, this has 151. The world I live in doesn't make sense to me anymore. One thing is for sure, I got into Zevon too late. This guy was legendary.

[@mrbobevans]

I can think of only one guy who mentions gun(s) and shooting as much as Warren in his songs, and that guy is Marty Robbins. This concert is about 3 months from the genius, Marty Robbins' death. RIP to Warren and Marty - you don't know how much you are missed.

I LOVE Warren Zevon! I guess I should say loved. He wrote a song about one of my all time favorite baseball players, Bill Lee, but that's definitely not the only reason!!

[@krakatoa1200]

I still miss Warren, I was driving through Italy when I heard of his passing, My wife phoned the Hotel I was going to be staying at in Turin, I just broke down.

[@Ace_Hunter_lives]

I'd love to know more about this touring line-up. This show has got to be among the best concerts on KZbin, and yes I say that in part because it's a Zevon show...but...they sound PERFECT and they just just look so damn comfortable on stage playing together. Who is everyone? Did Zevon use these guys on the road a lot? Is there footage of any of these guys backing other folks? May all of us find something that brings us as much joy as the bass player and his phenomenal mullet appear to get from playing bass :)

[@bertvervoort7976]

I am not sure. But for his live Stand in the Fire tour/album he actually used a band that covered his music. Pretty cool

[@d.e.kocher814]

Fucking Beautiful!!!!!

[@timficker7649]

I've been playing guitar, bass, piano, mandolin & banjo (kind of shittilly (for the time being, I swear it!) But now that I make most of my bread bartending and playing music. It's only now that I'm in my thirties that I realize that Warren is BY FAR, WITH A GODDAMNED BULLET, HANDS DOWN MY FAVORITE AND BIGGEST INFLUENCE ON MY LIFE, and unfortunately my taste in fast women and strong drink. I love this man, R.I.P. That's not even to mention his relationship with David Letterman and more especially Paul Shaffer.

[@murrayscott9546]

I see a future for you.

[@warrenjones9665]

Love u Warren

[@artzontini7882]

Incredible!!!

[@rickswift675]

Warren left this planet far too early there was so much more he would have contributed to our lives. And as such a horrible illness too die from. Cancer has claimed far too many members of my family including my Mother when I was fourteen years old

REAL rAND r:THANKS WARREN

[@mikefowler2417]

I agree that it is a travesty he's not in the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame.

[@peterm3964]

Igor Stravinsky was an occasional visitor to the Zevon household , and would give lessons to a young Warren Zevon .

[@samrobbins6829]

You don't have to trash Springsteen to love Zevon, or vice versa. Different versions of Bruce's original idea, and both worthwhile. Zevon was certainly a loss much, much too soon.

[@murrayscott9546]

That's just the way it goes.

[@walliegirl2]

Nothing against Bruce. It is just that Warren and Marty Robbins are way better IMHO.

[@attygarland6909]

Is this tune somehow related to Aerosmith's "Janie's Got a Gun" ?

[@johnharrington11]

Love the tune. The guy playing the old Led Paul Junior is quite possibly the best player I've ever seen! Would love anyone to tell me more about what other projects he has worked on.

[@LedLawless]

+John Harrington That is most likely Waddy Wachtel.

[@pac401]

+John Harrington The guy playing the LP Jr. is Randy Brown and definitely not Waddy. He looks nothing like Waddy, and Waddy hasn't changed his look in 35 years.

[@washbrook45]

Randy Brown is on the right playing a regular les paul.(he's barely in this video) the lead guitarist that it keeps showing with the lp jr. is John Wood. and yes he's one of the greatest ever.

[@mwduck]

He also played Harm Rabb on "JAG."

[@mwduck]

As in "Here's Johnny . . ." from Johnny Strikes up the Band at this concert.

hes up there jammin with Joe strummer

The two musicians that Keith Richards regretted not playing with were Warren and Otis Redding. Keith always gets it.

What's the story here? He's in love with a drug addict and she turned on him?

[@maticstudios]

He fell in love with a woman and he thought she loved him, so they planned to run off together, but he is gunned down by her father while waiting for her. He was played by both of them as they ride off with his money.

[@badlandso73]

A lovely cover version of Bruce Springsteen's original.

[@williambement4166]

No it isn't. Zevon wrote this.

[@kurtd8456]

You mean Janey Needs a Shooter? Not the same song. The title did inspire WZ however, and BS helped him write Jeannie. www.rollingstone.com/music/music-lists/15-insanely-great-bruce-springsteen-songs-youve-never-heard-17760/janey-needs-a-shooter-1978-13491/

Ok, you probably know this story, we both wrote this song. And I'll tell you it's true....God created the world and the earth, the sky, the heavens and the creatures and the snakes and the seas and everything in six days, and on the seventh day he rested, but he got out for a little while in the afternoon.

[@maticstudios]

Vedder 1992 He rewrote it with suggestions from Springsteen, but Springsteen’s version is not the same as Warrens rewritten version. The melody was also rewritten.

[@maticstudios]

Read what I wrote

[@johncrimmins6314]

Springsteen would have given his ball to sound like this.

[@kindnessfirst9670]

And Zevon would like to have written this song. They were good friends and mutual admirers.

[@maticstudios]

TRUMP FOREVER Warren rewrote this song... the Springsteen version is unrecognizable.

[@justinstearns9723]

TRUMP FOREVER He did write this. Springsteen’s version was called Janie needs a shooter, and was totally different. Warren liked the title so much that he borrowed it, changed Janie to Jeannie and they wrote this version together.

[@BobCat623923]

@@justinstearns9723 True story

[@BobCat623923]

And now we finally get to hear what The Boss does with this song on his new album...does he rewrite it entirely, pay homage to Zevon's classic version, or re-record his own unreleased version from 77's Darkness outtakes.

[@ThommyofThenn]

:46 he forgets the lyrics lol

[@donwoodward8246]

No he didn't. That's how the song goes.

[@mwduck]

Lyrics, like the key signature, are merely a suggestion!

[@maticstudios]

That’s how the song goes, Warren almost never forgot lyrics, and on the rare occasion he did, he would throw in a pop culture reference.
