If you're not a musician, you'll never understand just how hard it is to reproduce a song EXACTLY like the original!! This is a PERFECT EXAMPLE of how to do it!! Every little thing they do is MAGIC!!
@petergray35945 ай бұрын
The other danger is playing it better. The original recording was cobbled together with Stings demo of the song. In the studio they were not able to create the track themselves. This is what the song would have sounded like if they had.

Beyond exceptional. I’ve listened for decades concentrating on Copeland’s crack of the snare, the flams, the cuts, the fills and his unequalled musicality, I’ve come away cold when others have tried. Ryan nails this solid. What a joy to listen to this.

I've been a HUGE fan of The Police since the very beginning., and I gotta say this cover may be a tiny bit better than the original; if that's possible! I'm blown away! Vocals- great. Piano- note perfect. Bass- fabulous. Keyboard- thumbs up. And Drums... wow! Ryan did his homework using the traditional grip, also offering a note perfect performance while making sure to really drive the tempo by playing slightly in front of the band just like Copeland so often does. Bravo!!
@EssTooBee Жыл бұрын
I noticed the traditional grip too! Now I need to go back through prior videos to see if Ryan ever plays that way sometimes or if it was just for this. I'm sure it would be hard to match Copeland's sound with matched grip.
@ischmidt Жыл бұрын
Un-fracking-believable. Ryan's always solid on the drums, but this was next level! Plus Derrick on the awesome fretless bass, Austin was killer on the piano, and I don't know how many voices Vandee can do but they're all amazing.

In the fall of 1981 I was in Germany and a couple of friends of mine met Stewart Copeland in our Hotel lobby and he invited them to their concert that night. It in turned into about 6 of us going with back stage passes. I remember they played this song and announced it as they're about to be released single off their new album Ghost in the machine. When I first heard it I thought I had heard it before just loved it from the first time. After the show Sting asked me what I thought of it and I said I thought I had heard it before and he said that's good. My only brush with rock and roll stars in my 65 years. Have to say they were all very nice to a bunch of early twenty something yanks in a foreign land and they deserved the fame and fortune that came their way over the next few years.
