Thanks for adding me to your friends list, although I am sure a LOT of time has passed since that time. I am adding you to mine as well as joining the music group you suggested. Thanks again.

Nick Cave would win. I can't believe this is even a question. Tom Waits is an 82 year old actor who releases the same caricature of an album three times a year. What makes him seem like he could fight? And Nick Cave fans would cut Tom Waits fans to ribbons.

How is Cave's body of work any different? Answer: no different. They are both caricatures, please. Also, how does being mouthy about killing people mean shit about fighting in real life (see Dazig getting his troll ass kicked by a fat fuck with a wild swing as example). Cave hasn't done a damned thing in real life, all talk/no action (in his "prime" he was just a wimpy little skinny junky who, like his fans, reclaimed his feelings of lost power via his violent cartoonish lyrics). Those little beanpole pussy Cave fans wouldn't have a prayer, stop kidding yourself. That's the problem with you wacky kids today, you think that just because you can talk shit and "have no fear" that you can do damage, BA! HUMBUG!

well, they're both cartoons, albeit cool cartoons.
i think it would be tom waits, as he's bigger, and he's probably hanging out with some hardass carnies who'd be willing to help hi out.

Brilliant question. I'm going to say that Tom Waits would win. Yeah, Nick Cave is figuratively more of a fighter, and he does have the height advantage, but if you've seen him recently, he's not quite as dextrous as he used to be. When he tries to do his usual stage antics, he looks pathetically geriatric. His roundhouse kick has seen its last days. Since Tom's a bit stockier, he could probably strike a little harder, and he wouldn't rely on strange acrobatics to save him. Plus he would probably use some kind of strange weapon, like a blackjack or a switchblade.

But I don't really want either one of them to get hurt. Maybe the better question would be, "Should Nick Cave and Tom Waits register for a same-sex marriage and adopt several daughters and advance good music and feminism all at once?"

If we're going by their sort of IMAGE vs IMAGE then yeah, Waits is a chain smoking alcoholic hobo, but then Cave is a weedy, psychotic heroin addict.

Waits has my vote.

youre all wrong. nick cave is tall and lanky. tom waits has GRAVITY on his side, dammit. and enough seasoned backup musicians to scare the hell out of any pasty australian! the real question is: what in the hell would they possibly be fighting over?
