He's also a pretty good actor. Check out "Down by Law". A most excellent film.

You will see that Down by law is a great vehicle for his style.
Check out "Coffee & Cigarettes" too... He's in that and another great film.

Tht rocks man.
I have never seen him play. It is one thing that I am going to make sure to do before its to late. I also have always wanted to see Les Claypool play live and I finally got to see him about 2 weeks ago in Ventura, CA
Do you guys listen to Primus or Les Claypool?
Les is a big Tom Waits fan and friend

I'm big into Pat Metheney, and when I want to simplify, I turn to John Prine or perhaps Leo Kottke.
I'll give those you listed a listen tho...

Anyone ever seen Mystery Men, i'm pretty sure Tom Waits was in that, he influenced James Hetfield

Tom waits has influenced many many respected musicians.

I like almost all of Jim Jarmusch's movies, Coffee & Cigarettes was actually my least favorite though. Stranger Than Paradise, Down by Law, Mystery Train, Night on Earth, Dead Man... My favorite has to be Ghost Dog, that movie rocks

I love every single one of his albums. I listen to his music just about every day.
My favorite albums are Bone Machine and Nighthawks at the Diner.
