I absolutely love the original version as well as the alternative version. But this one hits me so deep, it's beautiful and haunting. Tom Petty saved my life so many lifes and right now, while I'm struggling again he's there again... Love to all of you
@@lowellcalavera6045 That is the point of the comment section. I heard this live at Bonnaroo and it was impressive. Fairly late in the evening if i remember correctly, but then again those are long days and sleep is short.
All due respect, I’ll take the alive, non-rebel Tom any day. All the footage that I’ve seen from the last tour clearly demonstrated he should have never been on the stage. I know he was stubborn to a fault, but I think everyone in his inner sanctum should’ve stepped in. There’s footage of him walking down the street days before he passed. It’s too sad to watch.
I still can’t believe this great man is gone. Everything he had ever written came from his heart and soul. I don’t just listen to his music, I feel it too.
tom was always a rebel from the day he started in the music business till he left this world way to soon. he never let the big guys tell him how to do his music or his shows. you got what you seen with him. one of the true greats in the music world and his loss will never be gotten over.
I say, and say again, with the sole exception of that guy from Hibbing, Minn., TP was America's greatest songwriter of the last half century. And he has left a void so big it could crush this town...#WildOne4Ever
Beautiful! I was born in Dixie on a Sunday morning and you bet I'm a rebel! Thanks for all the beautiful music Tom, it felt like you knew me...you knew us all and we'll never forget you!
My dad was born a rebel ... While managing to provide for his family and stay around when times were tough, he still fought the system in his own way and loved rebellious music ... Pity he wasn't familiar with TP, as he would have screamed along with the chorus of this one ! ... RIP Dad and Tom ... Wayne
I've always loved 'Rebels', but I'd never heard this live acoustic version. Just amazing! It really shows the song and the message in a new light! God, I miss Tom like crazy!
October 2, 2017.....not a good day. The atrocity in Las Vegas was bad enough. Hearing the news about Tom Petty passing was like the sucker gut-punch. Goodbye Tom. Thanks for the memories.
I logged on and saw the headline story of Vegas that day . I was horrified like everyone was. I noticed in small print on the right side of the MSN page that Tom had passed and I had that sucker gut-punch myself . It was a bad day .
Of all the things I fear and dread everyday in this life I never feared or dreaded losing Tom ...I guess thats why I am like I am ..I just cant imagine certain things and those certain things I can imagine rip my fucking heart out . 39 years since I first heard Tom and the Heart Breakers..thats a long time kids ..Yesterday to some of us . Do the best you can with what you have and dont back down or bend over for anyone . Tom had open arms to love and gave the finger to haters and stupid people...and gave us amazing music that communicated it all ..Just still hurtin . Miss You Tom Petty .
Same here, 1976 I heard him and was hooked,,,,and he just got better and better. And never thought we'd lose him so young. A kick in my gut is how I feel, still do.
This is one of my absolute favorite songs from Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers. It's like a dream if I hear this song. Thank you Tom, thank you Heartbreakers. Ich liebe seine Musik, und sie gibt mir extrem viel. All the best from Bavaria.
This has become one of my favourite songs of Tom's. I love it so much. The opening line "Honey don't walk out, I'm too drunk to follow" really moves me. :-(
Petty was a true Southern man, pride and all. His rebel song was about me and my kind. I feel it in my 67 year old Southern bones. My father a fine Southern man born in 1901 taught me the old ways-thus I was blessed.. to think like a man from the 1850's..
...life can be a blast ....and then so damn harsh ...bad enough for me losing TPetty....can't imagine being Mike Campbell and crew....they practically grew up together and have seen and been thru so much ....and one day ...bam ....no goodbyes or anything ....wow
Anyone that sings about the glorious South and especially Tom Petty is a hero in my opinion. So tired of hearing how prejudice everybody is in the south. Talk about prejudice don't even get me started. Lol.
Dreamt last night I was talking to Tom Petty and we were discussing the merits of steak and he said Texan steak is the best. And Bob Dylan was a few yards away maybe fixing a car.
A very big thank you from one video artist to another, thanks. My mothers family comes from the same area of Florida as Tom Petty, it feels like home to me.
Honey don't walk out, I'm too drunk to follow You know you won't feel this way tomorrow Well, maybe a little rough around the edges Or inside a little hollow, I get faced with some things, sometimes That are so hard to swallow, hey! (hey hey hey) I was born a rebel, down in Dixie (hey hey hey) On a Sunday morning Yeah with one foot in the grave And one foot on the pedal, I was born a rebel She picked me up in the mornin', and she paid all my tickets Then she screamed in the car She Left me out in the thicket Well I never would of dreamed That her heart was so wicked Yeah but I keep comin' back Cause it's so hard to kick it, hey, hey, hey (hey hey hey) I was born a rebel down in Dixie (hey hey hey) On a Sunday morning Yeah with one foot in the grave And one foot on the pedal, I was born a rebel Even before my father's father They called us all rebels While they burned our cornfields And left our cities leveled I can still feel the eyes of those blue-bellied devils Yeah, when I'm walking round at night Through the concrete and metal, hey, hey, hey I was born a rebel, down in Dixie On a Sunday morning Yeah with one foot in the grave And one foot on the pedal, I was born a rebel
