Awesome Tom Petty

Leo Moracchioli pays tribute to the late, great Tom Petty with a fantastic cover version of his 1989 classic Free Fallin‘. It starts out as a smooth take on the original, then gets bathed in Leo’s crispy, crunchy metal coating.

It’s been a rough week, and the loss of one of rock and roll’s greatest makes us even sadder. Let us celebrate the life and talent of Tom Petty through some of his many hit songs, then say farewell with his cover of While My Guitar Gently Weeps, accompanied by Prince.

For his new Tonight Show segment First Drafts of Rock, Jimmy Fallon is joined by Kevin Bacon to sing what were the original lyrics to Tom Petty’s 1989 hit Free Fallin’, a song about a girl who really, really, really, really, loves horses.
