  • you're amazing, man ! :)

  • the 80's, best age of music

  • @1985woooman coudnt say it any better

  • I got most of the notes but some of them I missed thanks for posting this version I like it better than the original.

  • Guys, remember that this is a GAME, and if you really wanted the original bands, the company would have to pay so much money, your game would cost you $20 more to buy... would you pay more, or play the game with these vocalists?? Hmm???

  • this version is longer than the original, and i really do think its the police or maybe just sting

  • U play the RB version often.... this is a horrid cover.

  • @MarkPaulMcIntyre no it's not

  • @MarkPaulMcIntyre I know your comment is 2 year sold, but explain exactly how this cover sucks. It's an excellent cover and it sounds just like the original. If this wasnt written for GH you'd say it was awesome

  • eww this cover blows

    nothing even comes close to the original

  • @YanYan1337 no it doesn't

  • To let you know this song is a cover its not them because i have the song i know how they sing

  • this song is so awesome!

  • How is it a master recording if the solo at the end isn't on the Rockband version?

  • when i listen this song i remenber the serial killers i dont know why but i like so much this song

  • did you download this? the singer isn't singing along, if the singer isn't singing along, it means that the song was downloaded on the game...

  • No it's on the game, fourth section of songs. Best song too :)

  • yeah but the singer isn't following along with the lyrics, wtf?

  • Hmm I dunno then

  • Yes this is a cover - the guitar sounds very very close!

    JB

  • good song

  • this is a cover? it sounds very much like the original

  • no this is the master recording cuz it says as performed by not as made famous by in the beginning

  • Good cover of my favorite Police song.

  • Guitar Hero is freaking awesome.

  • Good song.

  • This is a really good cover. For those people who can't tell this cover from the real song, listen to the intro. In the original, it sounds like Sting is going "OOOHHH", while in this cover version, it sounds like the singer is going "YYEEAAHH".

  • yeah the cover is sting i thing

  • Its THE POLICE!!!

  • if this is a cover version, its a damn good one.

  • Wow, I gotta say, this is an awesome cover, the people who did this cover should be applauded, and you should too for doing an awesome job with it too.

  • Yea thats sting guys. listen for the edge in his voice, at around 1 minute in, and 1 minute 23, and 28 seconds. you can tell its him. just much later then this was originally written

  • Nvm i'm wrong. Guess i just havn't listened to the original in a long time.

    See what guitar hero does to you?

    i'm going back to my real guitar, and my real police for a while

  • I love the Police! They're my dad's favorite band....but this cover type thing is kinda weird.

  • But it's not bad by any means!

  • i dont think these somgs on encore were re-recorded by harmonix

  • No, the covers are "As Made Famous By".

    The original master tracks are "As Performed By".

  • are you telling me thats Sting, because it sounds like a very good cover to me.not Sting

  • It's one of the best covers, if not the best. That solo at the end kicks major ass and makes sure your interest doesn't fade.

  • Very impressive.

  • i thought he did a very good job of covering stings voice, and don't say that the cover sucks because it doesn't sound like the original. That's like saying that the clash's cover of i fought the law sucks because it doesn't sound like the original.

  • I'm a major police fan. The guy singing isn't "terrible" at all. Don't criticize him because he's not Sting- he did the job for GH and the song was captured well enough to have fun in the game

  • Only two songs on the 80s were master tracks. Electric Eye, and Because it's Midnite

  • no.....flock of seagulls also and probably one more

  • i thin i wanna rock was a cover 2

  • it was more of a rerecording done by twisted sister, and it sucked compared to the other original

  • how do you do it so fast

  • This is not the original song, i would know because i listen to them

  • WOw kick ass job!! i just got the game and I can't even beat that song on Hard yet:)...i have been renting the song for a week now..i love it!

  • the wammy bar sucks really bad

  • This is in no way possible the original Recording. Sting Does not hav a voice like that. The idiots at GH Hq made into a reall rocker song, which is not what Synchronicity 2 is.

  • Obviously, it's not the orginal song. All the songs on Guitar Hero are just covers. I assumed everyone knew that. I never thought they were the original songs. And yeah, I have to agree, whoever sang it was pretty bad. Sure, no one can sing it like Sting did, but still...

  • actually, not *all* the songs are covers. they do have a number of master tracks, starting in GH2, and continuing up to GH3, where the majority are master tracks. but most songs from the earlier GH's are "as performed by..." (meaning covers by studio musicians).

  • The voice work is simply terrible. This is definitely not the original song; listen to it; it's much better than this terrible cover.

  • how does it look slow? lol like you can do that... these people have no life

  • omg the voice for sting is horrible.

    they butchered it

  • no, WTF r u talking about, i have the original CD and it is not the same

  • "as performed by the police"... what else do you want me to tell you?

  • it means its originally played by the police. this and the original are different. I should know. I listen to them alot.

  • the red, blue, yellow remind me of the colours on the cover of synchronicity

  • Whatever dude... if you were any good you wouldn't have missed that note....

    :)

  • its not the guy playing thats why it says gameplay footage and the ign sign in the right corner

  • not him. notice the ign symble in the right corner.

  • Hey Whow your good you missed 3 notes highfive octupus 8 sent a comment i cant find it type in octupus8 and copy this and you can click one of his videos and add a very very mean measn comment about him i cant belive you beat play with me expert chao

  • its expert greggory1234567890 look right below his notes % thing at the end its say EXPERT

  • is this on hard because it looks slow

  • no, it's expert. There are a lot less chords on Hard.

  • besides, hard mode doesnt have solos like this

  • it "looks" slow

  • somebody watch and rate my videos plaese.

  • i love this song but its really eady. i always get 97 percent

  • I liked this song, it's a little boring in the game, you can get 100% on expert easily. and i have to agree gh 80's was a half assed job and im not sure about gh3 since activision took over it, more specific neversoft, who made such things as tony hawk downhill jam.

  • I love this song, but in the game...i don't like it.

  • the song has a good sound, just it kind of repeats too much so half way through the song the player gets bored, but the lyrics are pretty cool if you listen to them.

  • this isn't a fun song to play on gh at all. i think they should have put a song like "limelight" by rush or "finish what ya started" by van halen.

  • police is a greast band and your not a fan  of police so you suck

  • really?! wow gee thanks!! i've worked so hard to suck and i've finally reached my goal!! this could very well be the greatest day of my life!!!!! thanks for the great feeling man!!!!!

  • your welcom

  • Fantastic. Excellently played!

  • they couldnt do a better police song?

  • this is one of their better songs unless you want 'every little thing she does is magic' but i doubt thats very hard to play

  • look at the singer, he's not opening his mouth, hes just standing there doin his pose when there are no vocals.

  • Yes! Greatest Police song ever!

  • thank you

  • in philly lol

  • i just saw the police live =)

  • first off its not 70 bucks dumb asses, its 40 at best buy

  • this damn game didnt come out for xbox 360 :( pisses me off. now i cant play it :((((((((

  • Dont worry. I didnt think it was that good. Only 30 songs. Not worth 50 bucks.

  • awesome,i love the police

  • 2 things this game isnt worth buying and 2nd thing you can do this for free with your normal guitar hero 1 or 2 with a ps2 or xbox 360 with a mod chip so why pay 70 bucks for same game just diff songs?

  • if it has different songs, it makes it a different game. songs are the most important part1

  • I forgot this game cost 70 bucks and mod chips are like free in cereal boxes. Moron.

  • the game isnt 70 bucks, its 40 at best buy and 50 and eb games

  • rent it

  • i think its pretty lame how crowded house and the smiths aren't in it, bad song choice

  • OH man I would have loved to see this charming man or heaven knows i'm miserable now on there.

    But its probably impossible or really expensive to get the rights to the songs.

  • i know. this game is good, but it's the dissappointing that harmonix didnh't decide to put the song bad to the bone. that would be a great song for a guitar hero game

  • this game was a rip off

  • This is my favorite song in the game so far...i have played them all and this is the best...the game i'll admit wasn't the greatest and the price tag was a little high but it will tie me over til the new one comes out in october...and then its Rock Band...its a great time for music games.

  • dude this game rock got it yesterday already got the log :P

  • ok who the hell is that playing....because he's very good.

  • i would imagine like a tester or someone working on the game

  • Sluggo, I think he is an Admin on Scorehero. net (or . com, whatever)

  • y is every song in hyperspeed is the game automatically in hyperspeed?

  • i hope so that would reduce the whole conflict about it

  • i got the game today the game is like that its not hyperspeed thats normal speed lol

  • This guitar hero looks promising...

  • the video is from ign

    idiot

  • Congrats to the video poster, he knows how to steal videos form Slluggo. (Check the band name when the songs over, it's Sluggo)

  • the game made like that to keep you playing the whole song, so you dont get bored. im glad its harder

  • hahaha wow, ur just like that sllugo person, no life wut so ever

  • In giutar hero they make the songs alot harder than they really are. Actually in some parts your playing for two guitars and you dont know it until you have played on two players

  • No the parts you play in the game are the same ones as a lead guitar. This song really isn't that hard. Free Bird is a different story though. The real solo has 3 guitars.

  • i gota say all the covers and stuff on this version of guitar and very good just as good as guitar hero 1 quality

  • Anyone please have tabs for the intro? All tabs I've seen for them don't sound right..

  • I know the only tab I found has a really fucked up intro. I don't think the "gloomy" part is right either.

  • well ephraum check the tunning for the tabs

  • i play guitar and i thought that guitar hero was a game with nonsense, but it looks not easy so i'll try it. But it is expensive

  • Oh just for anyone who has a real guitar Snychronity II is an easy song to play on a real guitar. the only hard part is the end of the ain chorus/verse. I play guitar hero on expert so I love it just as much as you but if you want look up the tabs to this song.

  • am I the only one who thinks those look like giant zits?

  • Oh... I thought it was a mastertrack because it says "As performed by" In guitar hero 2 when it's a mastertrack it says that.

  • Actually Guitar Hero's main setlist didn't have master tracks. The bonus songs I'm not sure of. Oh and bigp shut up you are probably an Eagles fan who is jealous that the Giants have actually won 2 Superbowls, and if you are a Cowboys fan NEWS FLASH if you think Eli sucks I can't wait for Tony to blow on TO's.

  • Nah I'm a Dolphins fan. '72 Phins for life biatch!!!!!!!

  • whitey is a tard :D venues are all redone and its not a master track (the man must have no ears or eyes)

  • It says SYNCHRONICITY II as performed by The Police. But you're right giantboy, this isn't a master track. Dumbass. Giants fucking blow.

  • i dont even care if this is an expansion. this is going to be a great game.

  • What's up with the police and their YBO sustains at the end of their songs? those...bums.

  • Just so everyone knows. This is a mastertrack. (not a cover)

  • This sin't a master track. In the beginning of the video its says prefomed by. If it was a master track it wouldv'e said that on the side. Watch an I Ran video and you will see what I mean.

  • i could do that easy. not really he is really good

  • The guy playing is slluggo, he works for gamespy (a branch of ign). Hes freakin good too, if you dont believe look at his rank on scorehero or watch his other vids.

  • Wow! A guy from IGN can actually play GH without sucking? I'm speechless!

  • I'm not sure he's from IGN, actually... but if he is, I agree.

  • This sounds like the live version of the song. It's not somebody else singing it. It's Sting. I've been listening to him sing since the late 70's. Trust me it's him. Bloody good track and I can't wait to have a go at this.

  • Man, the police songs make it seem like an easy 100% until the end.

  • Seriously. This one especially.

  • this looks so fun,and the venues look great! cant wait till Jul 24!

  • what do you mean the venues look great? they're the same as guitar hero 2.

  • and yes the 80's were a far better era for music and more.

  • I never thought the game models in this game looked so bad.

  • ive watched most of these "sneak peeks" for the new guitarhero 80's game game and maybe its just the bad audio quality but the covers don't sound nearly as good as the first two games, expecially the singers...

    like the sting impersonator here sounds terrible

  • how come they don't put any boston songs on guitar hero? Walk On would be fun.

  • they did on the first guitar hero, it was more than a feeling =]

  • classic rock is my favorite type of music and i'm only 14. and yes, some of these bands i haven't heard of until guitar hero, but you can at least shut up about young kids not knowing stuff

  • "emo" will soon be a word in webster's dictionary.

  • I like synchronicity 1 better but 2 is ok too. The music video for this song is awesome how all the instruments are piled up like that.

  • Hey dcolt, don't be a dick. Guitar hero turns these bands that were amazing, with millions of albums sold for a reason, into these one-hit-wonders of modern day. I didn't mean no one who's young listens to the Police, but most people have only heard one song by them, or Rush, or Alice in Chains, or almost any other band on there.

  • I think you have just pigeon holed the entirety of todays youth, just so you could appear superior, i mean people 16 and under do listen to stuff other than Pop music as you so obviously assume.

  • when i was 10, i was listening to the police. i'm 14

  • i'm 14 and all the most of the music I listen to is from the 80s. I beieve music today has lost its heart and creativity. Most hits have samples of older Music (SOS- Tainted Love), Pump It- Misirlo). Yhough I do have to agree most of my classmates have no musical taste (Emo and "Hip Hop")Hip-Hop RIP 1979-1996

  • I've noticed that music has gotten a bit worse for wear recently in my generation. Kind of disheartening really when you look at what most musical achievements.

  • everybody knows who sings carry on my wayward son u assbag. just enjoy the fucking game u piece of shit.

  • See, this pisses me off. I'm glad that they're making this game, and i love guitar hero, but it takes these songs that people hadn't known about, and makes them these pop culture phenomenons. Very few people under the age of 18 had even heard of the police before guitar hero 2 came out. Now, everyone knows them as "the band who did message in a bottle on guitar hero". The same thing is going to happen with all the other bands.

  • Yeah Revolutionstereo, I understand what you're saying because I listen to The Police, REO Speedwagon, The Eagles, all the classic rock legends. Now, I'm 16 and I hate it when people refer to The Police as "the band who did message in a bottle on guitar hero" or when people don't know who sings Carry on Wayward Son even when they may go around just singing that one line, because almost always the bands referred to by one song have done so many better songs,give em a nice smackin'.

  • im only 15 and i knew about police before the game so suck my balls bitchface

  • actually if you knew anything about music, you would know that ALL of these songs are already incredibly popular, also the police are actually 80's pop and by you bringing up the topic of pop culture i can tell your just an angsty teen who is probably emo.

  • I especially hate it when kids ay my school (I'm 14) hear Every Breath You Take and say OMG its the P Diddy song. The same is happening to Rage Against the Machine.

  • I like how this topic brought a bunch of mongrels out of the wood-work to tear some people a new one by smashing their heads onto a keyboard. What is it about keyboards that attract fuckwits?

  • This song is great, BUT...there should have been a song by AC/DC, Metallica, Rush, U2 and Aerosmith...

  • they're gonna have songs from those bands in Guitar Hero 3 hopefully.

  • thx

  • i heard one thing about it releasing the 17th and another one saying the 24th.....which one is right?

  • 24th is right. the 17th is when it comes out but it doesnt hit "streets"(stores) until the 24th of this month

  • lol im in a Guitar Hero: Rock the 80s tournament the day it releases so im just going around checking to see what the songs are like (lol i know its kinda cheating because the contest is a site-reading contest)

  • There arent any bonus tracks in this game

  • Hey guys lets add random guitar solos in our songs!

  • The solo in the original is easy to play, and they like to make the things on expert harder to play.

  • this game is going to be awesome!!

  • that solo was so unexpecting lol

  • this game looks so easy. after completing everything else and then playing expert i could probably beat this game with all 5 stars in like a month. oh well. i'm gonna get it anyway!!!!!

  • Do you really think it's that simple? Wait 'til you get to the Frenzied Fretwork tier.

  • well here's the thing. i changed my mind after seeing the video of "Play With Me" so hopefully the bonus songs will be more challenging that this.

  • i dont think there are bonus songs

  • yes there is. "Because It's Midnite" by Limozeen has been confirmed to be on there. and its a bonus track.

  • no its not it is on there but not a bonus track

  • thats pretty good how long did it take you to do the solo at 4:38?

  • they need hyper speed on that game oh! MY! GOD! I NEED IT

  • To make it more challenging.

  • What the hell is the point of inserting big solos into the end of police songs for gh?

  • I wish they used the same guy who sang on message in a bottle for gh2. That guy did an awesome Sting.
