  • @superyoda2010 YOU SHUT YOUR WHORE MOUTH!

  • This is the national anthem of Romania.

  • awsome cover!!!

  • I am a HUGE Police fan (even going so far as to start a Police tribute band) and I can honestly say I like this version of Next To You better than the Police version.

  • Love it. Higher energy than the original.

  • Never knew this was a cover! Still badass nonetheless

  • My Favorite Band and ONE of My Favorite SONG!!!!

  • Stupid Footlocker commercial about the Wright brothers wearing sneakers! What the hell does that even mean?

  • man, I love this band, the best punk-rock band ever

  • It's Like The Police on steroids, love it!

  • @superyoda2010 Cunt

  • @superyoda2010 fuck you.

  • @superyoda2010 >"I like it"

    >"it's a really shit song"

  • @superyoda2010 your a dumbass.... fuck you

  • Sick cover, for sure. Sounds really true to the original while still having that Offspring touch. Still can't match that fury of Stewart Copeland's drumming, though.

  • - The Offspring has the ability to make many covers as good, if not BETTER, than the originals. Examples: This, and Sin City (and that's a fucking AC/DC song, the Offspring took it up a notch there).

  • @MarianoRyu Absolute rubbish. Stop writing trash.

  • @DropTheLeashUK - Stop trolling.

  • @MarianoRyu I would but you keep talking shite.

  • @DropTheLeashUK - You're the one who started it by saying The Offspring makes music for 15-year-olds. You're just looking to be an idiot, people have to remind you how much of an idiot you are. It's just that simple.

  • @MarianoRyu Why do people say things like "it's just that simple" as if it is a statement which proves their point? It doesn't mean anything. It's a pointless statement included just for effect and isn't a convincing way of rebuking someone's opinions. It isn't that simple; I commented as I don't know why anyone would listen to this over the original version and think The Offspring are overrated. If anyone needs reminding that they're an idiot it's you and that's why I have been talking to you.

  • @DropTheLeashUK - Suit yourself, you're the one who made an ass out of himself, not me. :p

  • @MarianoRyu Another vague, misguided retort.

  • @DropTheLeashUK - In case you didn't realize, you're the one who made the vague, misguided retort by saying "Absolute rubbish. Stop writing trash." to my initial comment, so don't blame me for hurting you by pointing out how idiotic you were.

  • @MarianoRyu Wide of the mark again. Quit trolling me mate.

  • @DropTheLeashUK - On the contrary, you quit trolling me.

  • @MarianoRyu Well stop talking rubbish then. You're opening yourself up to ridicule by making ludicrous assertions about music and lambasting people for having their own opinions.

  • @DropTheLeashUK - Isn't that what you were doing before I called you out? Amazing how that works.

  • @MarianoRyu Well I am making a good point which you have failed to address: Why is this better than the original? A band shouldn't be lauded for churning out a carbon copy of the original, they should be ridiculed. A pub band could turn up and play someone else's songs. All you've done is write rubbish permeated with phrase which sound good but aren't really making a point such as "it's just that simple" and "suit yourself".

  • @DropTheLeashUK - I failed to address your point? That's the first thing I did. This isn't a carbon copy of the original, it's even better. Same with Sin City by AC/DC, or I Wanna Be Sedated by the Ramones. The Offspring took it a level up the original, and this isn't even their original material (Which by the way is just as good. I'm a hardcore fan, I've got nearly every album to date).

  • @MarianoRyu How is it any better? You don't understand what you're talking about.

  • I like this version better then that of The Police.

  • just wanted to lol at this fellows comment, such irony: " If any of you fans of The Offspring are over 15 you need your head examining."

    i dont dig his voice much but this is a good cover

  • @marleySux Are you making fun of me?

  • You lot are thick. What a waste of time listening to this guff has been. I only did it for research for my blog. I hate The Offspring. It's kids music. If any of you fans of The Offspring are over 15 you need your head examining.

  • @DropTheLeashUK fuck you offspring is the shitt!!!

  • @dannyab3 As measured and convincing as that counter argument was, I'm going to have to stick to my original view - that Offspring is shite and 99 per cent of its fans are morons.

  • @DropTheLeashUK Actually the Offspring has very good music with some lyrics that are very meaningful. Some of their powerful songs are The kids aren't alright, Gone Away, and Gotta Get Away. Whether or not you like their style, they have talent and make real music.

  • @bandiit17 No

  • @DropTheLeashUK - You're a troll.

  • @MarianoRyu No...he has opinion...

  • @SkyLinkAirlines At least someone is sensible. What do make of this tune?

  • @DropTheLeashUK Love both versions :)

  • @MarianoRyu You're a self-righteous cunt.

  • @DropTheLeashUK - At least I'm not a troll. :D

  • its an awesome cover they didnt change anything at all

  • @ACMNesta13italia So why did they bother doing it then? Surely a good cover would be something that brought something new to the song? Why would anyone listen to this rather than the original?

  • \O/ excellent yes

  • This is actually a pretty good cover. I'm hardly ever impressed by covers, but this cover did manage to impress me. Good Job Offspring!

  • Muy buenooo.. The Offspring!!! The Best!!! 

  • prelepa. . . :)

  • Hell, I remember when the Police first dropped this track. These young'uns got on it with all kinds of piss and vinegar! THE definitive cover. Great job.

  • Not bad

  • Jesus fucking christ my ears orgasmed! I fucking love the police AND the offpsring, and this is an EXCELLENT cover. Just plain AMAZING. A tribute as well as a representation of their own style. Exactly the same yet nowhere close. This is the stuff I live for, to see more modern bands recognize what made music what it is. To reconnect with their roots. Just...I don't even know. Phenomenal.

  • wow..i hadn't heard this one before..AWESOME cover!!

  • holy crap to the stereo at the end. I prefer the police, but this is pretty good.

  • this is a great cover!

  • dont like the vocals

  • wow, police fans are so nice. sick to death of going on metal/hip-hop mashup videos, with metalheads whinging..."omg, you rooind it! fuck hiphop metulz rool!!" makes me sick. just enjoy the tunes.

    not a massive offspring fan but a great cover. fuckin' love the police.

  • @welshman16 Obviously these metal/hiphop hating kids have never heard of Anthrax's "I'm the Man"

    Some people just can't get it through their heads that a great cover isn't exactly the same as the original. But a tribute to the original as well as an expression of the song in the cover bands own style, which is something this cover did amazingly. So in the words of of somebody else I can see that likes music as much as I "just enjoy the tunes". Couldn't have said it better myself.

  • @094176 I'm The Man is fucking awesome. Also, they must not've heard some of KoRn's songs. Or Body Count either. I hate people that trash one genre of music just for the sake of it

  • especially as far as covers go, this is great, if I were in the Police, I'd be proud

  • yeah man that rocks! great cover! thanks offspring!

  • damm it, it may be.........i misspelled it but who cares i fancy my grammar aswell Lol

  • yeah, i like this cover too. the police one it may the original but this cover beats it to the punch! i love the offspring <3

  • i wish this has its own track on the greatest hits, instead of being tacked onto that terrible "the kids arent alright" remix. because this thoroughly deserves to be listened to :D

  • The Offspring the best band in the word.................The Offspring la mejor banda del mundo

  • This is a good cover!

  • better than the police

  • This is awesome! Have the Police passed a comment for this cover? Love to hear what they'd say about it :)

  • haha i had no idea this was a police cover! awesome!

  • The original is by Santana, that the Police covered.

    It is note for note to the SANTANA original.

  • LOL ... right.

  • @Bern938 Next To You is absolutely not a Santana cover. It was written by Sting in 1978.

  • @Bern938 Um, no.

  • @Bern938 Absolute rubbish. Haha

  • It's basically a note for note cover, but the Police just do the song better.

  • Yeah Offspring do have some good songs (I mean those of their own) but this covered version of Next To You sounds like shit to me. The Police's original is much, MUCH better. That Police harmony cannot be covered by anybody whatsoever. (but that's MY opinion, I respect others who like this)

  • I sent this song to my girl(she lives in Canada)

  • Meh cover IMO, I love the original, and this is alright in comparison.

  • ...Iol i found this bonus track on the album about 5 days ago. lol. lifetime fan of the offspring. i saw them live at the dc101 chili cookoff. hellz yeah!

  • this is an awesome song

  • This is great!

  • dude this version is pretty good, sounds almost like the original

  • I agree,it does sound like the original!!!

  • @tacuto much better than original..

  • this version is better

  • richtig!

  • КУЛЬНО!!!!!!!!!!!ВСЕ БЫ ОТДАЛ ТОЛЬКО ПОБЫВАТЬ ХОТЯ БЫ РАЗ НА КОНЦЕРТЕ!!!

  • shto?

  • all the angles in my heaven sound like dexter holland

    feel free to tell me if thats wierd skullgirl1027's friend

  • I most definitely LOVE IT. I love the way it sounds, and the way Dexter sings.

  • this is at the end of "can't get my head around you" you just have to wait through 1.5 minutes of silence. i thought my player had shut off then i started hearing this song. i love it

  • Good cover, but The Police is THE POLICE

    The Police is x100000 better than any actual band ;)

  • Good cover... but no man can outdo The Police.

  • luv this version better. me and my friend didn't know the song name and i was write! it was next to you and he thought it was what can i do?

  • cool

  • coolest police-cover EVER^^

    OFFSPRING OFFSPRING OFFSPRING HOOHOOHOO

  • I'm seeing them live tonight =D

    I gotta say this version is way better =)

    More ambitious in vocals and instruments

    I think Offspring is a better band, they have always been one of my top favorite bands but hey welcome to my generation.

    A band that sings stuff that means something.... in todays world its all Coprate Shit..... big boobs and green smoke and the hottest rig on the block!

  • a punk band (they were punk then anyway) slowing down a cover? that seems a little weird to me.

  • love police but this cover is great!

  • EXCELLENT COVER. I'm a huge Police fan and I'm sure if they heard this they'd be really proud of The Offspring!

  • u sux more =/

  • You're so right :)

  • XD!!!

    The Police is better than any band...

  • Comment removed

  • My still all time favorite band doing an excellent cover. They tend to do REALLY good jobs with any song they cover

  • I think there's pros and cons to both versions. Both are good though.

  • This is the best remake of this song in my opinion, KEEP ON ROCKIN OFFSPRING!

  • @MasterChef50 i agree man. Police still are better but damn they covered it great

  • Comment removed

  • No.

  • Very nice reference to a great song of a fantastic band. Well done!!

  • Wow, this is a really good cover. I'd say on par with the Police.

  • this is a good cover but aint got shit on the police

  • this is definitely one of my favorite songs by The Offspring, even though it's a cover

  • Not better than the original? That's a matter of opinion, everyone differs, i actually prefer this version to the original.

  • Haha,  as a matter of a fact im not a musician, thankfully i don't gotta be one to know what i like to hear, and neither does anyone else, and to me, the police version pales in comparison to this one, mainly cuz i don't like the singers voice in the police.

  • Instrumentally, great cover.

    Not digging the vocals as much, though.

  • You sir have restored my faith in humanity. Just because something is the original doesn't make it better. and it all really depends on people taste. it's ignorant for people to argue when they say somethings the best. you can't argue over an opinion.

  • Actually, it is a matter of opinion, asshat. I'm a musician, and there are things about each version that I prefer. Namely, the guitar solo and the instrumentals in this one, and the vocals in places I like better in the Police version. Saying that what you state is fact is incredibly asshattish. Please fuck off and die, thank you.

  • First of all, lrn2grmr.

    Secondly, I see that you have the pinnacle of sophistication in musical terms favorited in your video. Slipknot. Hurr hurr.

    The fact is that this is a cover. When you're talking about skill, you're talking about the band, not the song. There are VERY VERY few things different about this song, and the things that are different are very slight changes, like the way the singer's voice sounds etc. It's the SAME exact song structurally. Pull your head out of your ass.

  • bravo, finally someone that knows music is nothing but expression

  • So your opinion is that it isn't an opinion. No. That's not an opinion. You're just wrong. The fact is that this IS an opinion. And your opinion is that you are right in what you have about what other's opinions are. In truth, songs sound their own way. People have different tastes. In other words, different opinions. Your opinion, however, isn't an opinion. Which makes you an asshat. Good day sir. 8D

  • u need to work on your reading skills buddy. read my comment again and u will see why u are a fucking idiot.... concentrate.

  • Did... did you even read my post?

  • No doubt about that, if you're talking about the band. But you can't say that about the cover of this song. There is virtually no difference except for the vocal style.

  • Totally agree ;)

  • @Monsieurcourval Why do you care about what he thinks?

  • great cover. really excellent. As a lifelong fan of the police i think it does it justice. His voice is spot on and the guitar sound is there. The overall feel is there. These guys obviously grew up with the first 2 police albums (as I have since it was the first 2 ever given by my sister) and it shows..........stop criticising and just appreciate the good effort.

  • good cover ; a bit slow for me but the spirit of the song is here !

  • i hate the police and the way sting whines so this version is better for me.

  • haha, he DOES whine

  • The police is better!

  • wow, some of you are really stupid...nice cover but NOT better than the original!

  • dang theres no "OW!!!" in this

  • I'm addicted to this cover!

  • pretty awesome cover, not as good as sting, but awesome

  • nice police cover

  • All i want is to be next to you!

  • great cover. love this song

  • I love The Police, and this cover is EXCELLENT!!

    (I like Offspring too)

  • THe OFFspring IS THE BEST

    The cover is better than the original

    I LOVE IT

  • gr8 video, love the p[olice & the offspring

  • Better than the original. Dexter's Voice is suberb
