I'm in an 80's cover band. Let me explain something to all the non musicians that shout "fake" and shit like that. The 80's had very talented musicians, not like the fake shit you are used to today. One song we do by Depeche Mode has no less than 14 different keyboard parts in it. In order to reproduce this song live, we had to build a backing track to play along with. A lot of these songs from this era were like that. Even the original bands have to cut some corners to bring to you discriminating listeners the songs like you want to hear them. It's a lot of work, not that you'd understand. So, in a nutshell, LIGHTEN THE FUCK UP. You think it's easy, try it sometime. Always easier to hurt than to heal. Easier to destroy than to create. But know what you're talking about before you open your cock holsters!
Hey Vox, I totally get it. If you don't know anything about how music is made then it's easy to be critical. And 80's music had lots of layers, synth-specific to be sure. So you either had 17 people on stage or you sequenced some shit. I love 80's music as much as anyone- I am a mildly competent musician so I know what goes into actually making a song happen. As far as this video is concerned, the bass track sounds "live", or at least it is not the album version at all, but where is the bass player? Also, the drummer isn't doing shit. If I were him I'd be embarrased to pretend to be playing. Not sure why he was there or whom he was trying to convince. Rob Fisher is missing and it's a shame that he's gone but it looks like the two other guys are actually recreating his sounds live, so they've got than going for them. Cheers.
80s cover band are always cool!@ Anybody that can pull that off is a band I wanna see I hope you agree that Mick Taylor was the best guitarist the Stones ever had and even Keith agrees! His solo on "Time waits fo no one" is epic!
You are right Mattercat. I like your comment. I am a fan of this band and I love their songs but I'm not a deluded fan like some on these type of posts. At 6:40 the anchor guy says I swear to ya it sounded like we listening to a CD. That's because they were in effect. I'm a semi-professional guitarist, singer, drummer bass player and pianist. I use a DAW. It's digital of course. I used an analog reel to reel in my earlier years. I had my own band and played live for decades. The rhythm guitarist was playing, the singer was singing and probably playing his guitar and the keyboardist was playing. The guitarist was having a hard time playing on time with the track some times because it is hard to do perfectly because your playing with a machine. I don't enjoy playing with tracks except sometimes I do on my looper or my DAW to demonstrate a lead guitar solo. I don't have the same energy playing with a track and here the band doesn't have it's usual energy because you are confined to playing with a track. Their lack of energy is very noticeable. I guess that's the only economical way they could do it but I still don't like hearing it this way.
@@mcdonaldswarfare3 not his singing but his audience target os now different cuz no one wants to listen to a dude that looks like a lady hahaha and Fuck you bitch
Está é uma das belas bandas da década de 80, outra igual muito difícil, ótima performance sempre, lembro dessa faixa quando colocada pelo Mestre Julinho Mazzen no programa de rádio da Kiss FM Rute 66 LM Music - Grande energia - Parabéns a toda banda por ter nos dado tantas alegrias através de sua música, fica aqui um grande abraço e desejo de muita saúde a todos.
Nice to hear his live vocals. They were ahead of their time with keyboards and samples, unfortunately, not able to duplicate it live in the 80's. Still sounds good, vocals always reminded me of Paul McCartney, but please get a bass player!

I remember seeing them on Solid Gold in late 82'/early 83'(7th grade). Catchy song(s) and I thought the girl on the Promises Promises video was pretty hot 🔥.
There's real bass in the original recording-- they used a studio musician. It's a tricky bass line to play by the way. Thomas Dolby, who has been a solo synthpop performer for decades, has also hired bassists for original studio recordings.
Iam a musician (drummer) that was in the heart of the 80s and Iam almost 99% sure the guy playing drums isnt really playing the drums....its a drum machine & he's faking playing the drums (but its all good!)....other than that Naked Eyes sounds great!!
To go along with what The Vox said. The studio drums are the hardest to reproduce in a tv studio so I’m sure they went with a drum click track to keep the authenticity of the song. The rhythm track in their songs are all programmed tracks anyway.
"They're here, very exciting, we'll check in with them in a bit, but first...here are you winning lottery numbers." Who opened for you? The wining lottery numbers. Still, great song.
4:50 guys like mm mm mmmmh this a tasty beat im layin down. Wanted to see what this song would sound like live with real instruments and ended up finding gold this is fucky
poor Wyatt, looks like hes not use t doing early morning tv. Perhaps a stronger cup of coffee for him in the morning, or an early depart time at the local pub/stripbar at night?
RIP Rob Fisher, Naked Eyes not the same without you..
Yesssssss I swear I play “Always Something There to Remind me” every single day while driving that’s my joint right there! 🔥🔥😍😍🔥🔥
The best music British band with class . I’ll still today listen all there great music
Love these guys. Two of their best song. 80's forever!
Saludos desde Peru...Naked eyes forever!!!...rest in peace Rob Fisher

The Vox is so correct!
Today's artists cant compare and sadly, so many don't know it.
80s cover band are always cool!@
Anybody that can pull that off is a band I wanna see

The other member died... He sounds great live and good to see him again.

Rob fisher forever
So much going on in this song like good 80s music every instrument doing something original but blending and uniting together as one.
They didn't write this song but finally made it a hit after decades!
Peter Byrne and Rob Fisher wrote Promises Promises.
Yes they did write this song
Totally awesome. I remember it well!
Absolute gem thank you for this

God, I love these songs!
Chingonas rolas k época tan bonita los 80s
Love this band and fun tunes to sing at karaoke!
Its seems so weird to hear such masterpieces on a local news tv show such a down grade but they still are fire 🔥
Love the band, miss Rob ! It must really suck to have to play the same two songs though for every appearance, they had many other good songs.
They had several great songs!
Me gusta esta canción . Saludos desde Perú =)
My song my favorite song since 🇨🇴
Not the same without the Bass.
Promise Promise was my favorite.
Nice to hear his live vocals. They were ahead of their time with keyboards and samples, unfortunately, not able to duplicate it live in the 80's. Still sounds good, vocals always reminded me of Paul McCartney, but please get a bass player!
Brasil! Naked the best.
Únicos recuerdos de esta canción.
Just seen them in Los Angeles they still sound good .

hell yeah
Music keeps playing even if Peter isnt playing lol
Where is the bass player??🤔

Yeah is he phoning in?
2019 Naked Eyes should sell this song to "The Guardians of the Galaxy", haha, not joking
Iam a musician (drummer) that was in the heart of the 80s and Iam almost 99% sure the guy playing drums isnt really playing the drums....its a drum machine & he's faking playing the drums (but its all good!)....other than that Naked Eyes sounds great!!
He was not really faking, he was just playing lightly to a dominant drum track.
@@EarthtonesCymbals its a programmed drum machine ...if you really pay attention the beats are "looped" ...
exelente
It was great until it got cut off near the end of the second song.
Naked Eyes always!
To go along with what The Vox said. The studio drums are the hardest to reproduce in a tv studio so I’m sure they went with a drum click track to keep the authenticity of the song. The rhythm track in their songs are all programmed tracks anyway.
drummer is Not Drumming lol
The drummer is totally faking it
There were no drums in 80s music anyways, it was all machines and keyboard sounds
lol
@@EdLndrs12 Facts 💿
A laptop is needed to produce this multi layered sound, wow
uhhh do you hear bells?
7:51 “Always Something There To Remind Me”
"They're here, very exciting, we'll check in with them in a bit, but first...here are you winning lottery numbers." Who opened for you? The wining lottery numbers. Still, great song.
Good shi
the guitarist in the background looks amazingly like our new Calif governor,,,Gavin Newsom...
Is that true?
Wheres the bass player?
4:50 guys like mm mm mmmmh this a tasty beat im layin down. Wanted to see what this song would sound like live with real instruments and ended up finding gold this is fucky
and 6:30 gotta punctuate the fact that you're totally legit drumming is now done. Hosts all joking about how its totally not live.
October 24
No only Sandie shaw for me by far
poor Wyatt, looks like hes not use t doing early morning tv. Perhaps a stronger cup of coffee for him in the morning, or an early depart time at the local pub/stripbar at night?
1:25 and then 7:04 if you want to get right to it.
Great songs, but nothing here is "live"...
Jump to 2:42
If Mick Jagger would make pop...
Why is that drummer even there...? He isn't really playing because its electronic beats 🤣 awesome performance tho 👍
these songs were totaly electronics, only drum machine and kayboards
I just uploaded a drum cover to this song please check it out!! Ive done a bunch of tff and hall n oates too!
Drums???...lol
make that 7:50
Not so good live
Letting the "CD" and lead singer with no bassist playing! A TRUE DISAPPOINTMENT.....#FAKEPERFORMANCE#GOTSOLAZYWITHIT😔
