...I mean when the Police were originally still together, in the 1980's. When they did their "re-union" tour, they played their songs too slow...mainly because Sting is getting old now and he has changed his style. He doesn't sing as high and fast as he did back in the Police days.
No, this song is SUPPOSED to be played fast. The character in the song is alone and desperate. So the song is meant to have an edgy feel to it. In a lot of the covers I've heard, they play it too slow. This group actually played the song the way it was meant to be. Listen to the original Police version. And especially if you see videos of the Police playing it live, they play it very fast.
The Castaways are a great garage band from the Twin-Cities of Minneapolis/St. Paul, Minnesota who had a big national hit in the U.S.A. in 1965 with the garage-rock classic "Liar, Liar."
Excellent!!!! You guys rock! Nothing wrong with the tempo. Yeah It's faster than the original recording, but I've seen the Police do it up tempo. I'm a bass player, you guys work together really well, everything cooks!!!! I love watching a band working together, keep on rockin'!!!!
Except for being slightly under pitch, this guy's got Sting nailed. And the drummer...man, the best "Copeland" I've heard yet. Overall, the best Police tribute band I've ever heard.
holy shit!!!! u have fucking sting talent right there dude go on fucking american idol americas got talent u need to get bigger with a mimicry voice that spot on keep that up
you guys are way better than the police! I'd rather pay 50 dollars for you than for the police. Real nice job, go on like that! En to the singer: your voice is awesome!
I love this cover. We play this song in our band in Newcastle, England (where Sting is from) but I would really like to ask Cristiano what effects & settings he is using on this song.
ragazzi bravissimi...ho sentito tutti i video che avete messo online...complimenti a tutti ma soprattutto al batterista. Si vede che ha studiato molto i suoni di Copeland ed ha una grande tecnica!bravi
E' bello sentire che qualcuno ha ascoltato davvero con attenzione, rende giustizia a tutto il tempo impiegato per accordatura, scelta di pelli ed ore passate davanti al dvd del concerto di Atlanta :)
I know, it's so hard to keep the pace down when you're playing those songs, the adrenaline rushes fast! :p It's one of my faults, I tend to speed up the tempo when I play live gigs...
You're actually more accurate when you increase the tempo throughout this song because as Stewart himself admits, he rushes the tempos when playing live.
Pablo - mate you rock. Quality sound - love the splash - identical to Copelands!! Good work my friend!!
