I suppose those are the members of the Police and you think it's a good look to show off your intimate knowledge of the band to the point that you pretend to be on a first name basis with them, correct? I didn't bother googling to check since I don't care enough.
@@juliebraden6911 the badge of honor of (presumably) someone who grew up taking for granted the ability to easily acquire information is to avoid doing so as much as possible. Almost as though to say, “Just because I happen to be a digital native doesn’t mean that it has an effect on me.” I agree that you should learn about the Founding Father’s before delving into pop bands from the late 1970s. ☄️
That is not a Wah Wah pedal that is a Wah envelope (an on / off guitar pedal) like the Edie Brickel song (What I am)... Equally as ground breaking. .:)
Being born in 1970, The Police were one of my top three favorite bands/ musicians (Bowie and Gabriel being the other two). This was one of my favorites from The Police because of the ambience it has. This cover so beautifully captures and builds upon the songs innate flow. Great job. New subscriber!!
Great tune, cool rendition with a slight jam-band vibe. I was trying to figure out where the chord vamp was coming from, a hidden keyboard player or bad camera work? And then ah-ha!, the bass player was playing it with his right foot.
"Walking on the Moon" isn't a "rock" tune, it's a reggae song. Check out some reggae-flavored cover songs by David Lindley and ElRayo-X, some famous and some less-known, there are plenty of them to be found on TH-cam. "Quarter of a Man" easily makes my top ten list of best songs ever written.
@@brendamilloy2557 , I got to see Lindley play a bunch of times, both with a band and doing solo or duet gigs, but interestingly enough I never saw him play banjo even though he was a very accomplished banjo player. I loved his Oud, Bouzouki, Violin and Saz playing, not to mention the screaming lap-steel slide guitar (hearing lap steel through a Dumble amp at a distance of 10 feet is a life-changing experience!). I got to meet and talk to him at a gig; had two teenagers with me, so we all got to check out his instruments, and the boys went home with guitar picks, drumsticks and autographs!
Great tune and great rendition !! For those who weren't there then, this song and Roxanne were the two tunes that got the Police on the radio and got their career rolling. Kudos to all 3 of y'all, but especially to the bass player who also holds down the keyboard part with his feet ~~~~~~
I had my back to the computer. Wow, what am I hearing? Not a big Banjo fan but this is absolutley unique and beautiful. Great job guys! It's actually addictive! ❤🔥💯
Yowza! Heading down to Venice Beach right now to get some extra mushrooms for my burger for lunch and my pizza for tonight and a late night snack..... I'm going to be listening to these guys till the morning comes...😵💫
Born Humboldt. Raised hillbilly in the Ozarks. Finished as a surfer. This combines one of my all time favorite bands with the sound I grew up with. Thank you.
Aparte de ser bajos, desde ahí intriga, no pierde la esencia rege hermanada con armonías jazz e incrementa la intención comunicativa y emocional de police, está chingona esta banda y versión🙂👍😉me atrapó, felicidades, y el arreglo es único😃😇
Space age bluegrass music 🎶 this is original WORLD 🌎 CLASS MUSOS 2023 Thu 5 oct listening to my new favourite band big fan 🥝🇳🇿👍🏽👍🏽 can’t wait to listen to more of your songs FMS🎨work😎
You guys are all monsters and your interpretation of the parts is excellent, but as a drummer I have to say that the way y'all's badrummer captured the essence of Copeland's original drum part is pretty remarkable. The whole thing is just fantastic.
So cool! Love the creative trio of banjo instruments. Including a Bass banjo and percussion banjo, like Futureman from Bella Fleck. Thanks very much for sharing, and best wishes for your future success/fun with music 🎶🌎☮❤🔥
@@JB-ti7bl , Thanks very much for pointing that out. I can guess that it is a MIDI controller/keyboard for the feet. Kind of like the kind you see on a church organ, except smaller. Really clever, and makes me love this group even more 🎶🎹❤
Please explain the percussion, slash banjo, slash whatever thing. Was that created out of your imagination, or would Guitar Center have on in some dusty, forgotten corner?
Thanks Skip! It’s a Studiologic mp-113 midi foot controller, running into an Apple laptop. The software it is running is called MainStage, which has endless possibilities for sounds and customization. Glad you enjoy the music!
Wow! Never woulda thunk it - but this reworking is impressive! Classic song, of course, and being fairly basic in chord structure, gives lots of room for the band members each to shine! I'll be listening / watching to more 🙂
Who is playing the rhythm guitar on this? i hear it but don't see anyone playing it. Playing live with a recorded guitar background track? (I now see the bass player with the midi board at his feet) This is legendary, great work!
as always... the best GEMS hidden on YT are the ones with so few abo's... Great great interpretation of this classic song!! Thanks for uploading and keep up the good work, you guys. All the best from Berlin, Germany P.S.: Didn't even knew there was such thing as a bass-banjo... AMAZING
What a different sound at around 4:00+.....a Wa Wa sound...I've heard something similiar before, I can't remember where or from what instrument.....Neat Sound!
Dude I'm freaking out..... The bass/banjo player is playing keyboard chords with his foot n what the hell kind of banjo sitar drum thing is that? These are 3 coolest guys on the fucking planet...... I feel like you gotta be a musician to know how truly bad ass this really is. Plus dudes running delay n modulation on a freakin banjo..... My Mind is blown
We fully endorse this lunacy, viva la Banjo Revolution!
I hope Sting, Andy & Stewart have heard this.
Why. Ly

You mean Gordon, Andy and Stewart?

@@ThursonJamesgood ol Gordy 😂😂
I LOVE it ❤
This is freakin' amazing! Great job guys, just brilliant ❤🔥
Thanks so much!
@@foggymountainspaceship It is my pleasure
Shades of Edie Brickell and the New Bohemians.
Love it.
Wow, I didn't notice that, but dang you are right!
I have never seen more done with less
Brilliant
I loved it
Thank you TH-cam algorithms for introducing me to to this! Foggy Mountain Spaceship, I'm now your biggest #1 fan! This freakin' rocks!
Awesome, welcome aboard!
Same here!
Nice Cup of Coffee. Good Sunday 🌄. Blessed Day.
Banjo with wah-wah! I say yes! Best thing that ever happened for a banjo, next to outright theft or fire!
You might want to check out Bella Fleck and the Flecktones. Bella is the Pat Metheny of the banjo.

Edie Brickell and the New Bohemians back in the day.
That is not a Wah Wah pedal that is a Wah envelope (an on / off guitar pedal) like the Edie Brickel song (What I am)... Equally as ground breaking. .:)
Always trying to get the tone of a banjo with a wah coming out of a boxcar
Awesome! 👏👏👏 that’s one of my favorite Police songs. You guys did a really great rendition!
excellent! I think Jerry would have dug this. Highest compliment I can give.
who the phuck is Jerry ?
Originally thought this was a stripped down Flektones trip.
Awesome!
I hear Jerry Garcia being channeled through that banjo. ❤. Great stuff guys
So good without Sting repeating the chorus 7000 times!

1969 vintage here and I'm right there with ya
Who's gonna be the oldest person to respond to this? 1964 model right here.
And yeah, I love the police original version, and these guys did a great job capturing it in a really fun way.
@@theobserver9131Hello kids. ;) From 1955. I love this track, still do. From Hungary, Budapest. 🥰
Weirdly wonderful in wonky ways!
Thank you!
Great tune, cool rendition with a slight jam-band vibe. I was trying to figure out where the chord vamp was coming from, a hidden keyboard player or bad camera work? And then ah-ha!, the bass player was playing it with his right foot.
This is the second one I’ve watched. The drummer has a _real_ deft-drummer’s kick foot. VERY surprising in a novelty outfit like this. I love it. 🤩
Wow, what a great rendition & I love your background visuals + fabulous banjo playing.
Thanks so much!
@@foggymountainspaceship This is crazy cool! Y’all are fantastic musicians, thank you so much for this!
Class
Thanks!
Outstanding
Amazing how well so many rock tunes translate into bluegrass/roots music so well! Awesome version here!
Playing a Banjo does not a "Bluegrass" Tune make. As lovely as this performance was, it had very little do do with "roots" music. Just sayin'.
"Walking on the Moon" isn't a "rock" tune, it's a reggae song. Check out some reggae-flavored cover songs by David Lindley and ElRayo-X, some famous and some less-known, there are plenty of them to be found on TH-cam. "Quarter of a Man" easily makes my top ten list of best songs ever written.

I'm very familiar with the esteemed Mr. Lindley, having been a Jackson Browne fan all these years.
@@brendamilloy2557 , I got to see Lindley play a bunch of times, both with a band and doing solo or duet gigs, but interestingly enough I never saw him play banjo even though he was a very accomplished banjo player.

@@goodun2974
Yup, I too have seen "the wonder that is Lindley!" live!
Yay ! more reggae influenced / pop / bluegrass noodling please FMS geezers !
Thanks for participating!
what a surprisingly full tone from that tiny cymbal!
The percussionist dude has my jaw on the floor. I've never seen anything like it
Great tune and great rendition !!
For those who weren't there then, this song and Roxanne were the two tunes that got the Police on the radio
and got their career rolling.
Kudos to all 3 of y'all, but especially to the bass player who also holds down the keyboard part with his feet ~~~~~~
WoW his toes must be crazy tired by the end of the day.
First there was the Shuitar and now we have the Banjotron Acoustikit 2000™ ! I like where this is going.
Added this to my rare country song list I like.
I had my back to the computer. Wow, what am I hearing? Not a big Banjo fan but this is absolutley unique and beautiful. Great job guys!
It's actually addictive!
❤🔥💯
Incredible great drum sounds it all sounded great together love the effects in the base was to cool
Love this!
Well if that ain't the freshest thing! I'm loving it
Yowza! Heading down to Venice Beach right now to get some extra mushrooms for my burger for lunch and my pizza for tonight and a late night snack..... I'm going to be listening to these guys till the morning comes...😵💫

Ok, first time ever hearing a banjo with distortion. 😮
That worked so well. Great rendition of this song.

These guys are amazing - with the added bonus that I laughed my ass off at their serious expressions!
Thanks for listening!
Hell yeah that's was bad ass. I need alot more of that.

Thank you!
Gentlemen, that was fucking sweet.
Side note: I don't think I've ever seen a bass banjo(?) before. Cool.
Wow, that was very unique!!
Thanks!
Interesting take on one of my favorite songs…. Pretty cool actually
holy ship!? is that Kyle Kinane playing a banjo with a drum set on it!?
Loved it!
Thank you!
Killer arrangement and performance. Well done!

Wow Pancho. This is great. Quite the drum kit!

Thanks so much!
It took me a while to figure out where the rhythm guitar sound was coming from. Then I saw the bassist tapping his foot on something.
@@JB-ti7bl , Thanks very much for pointing that out.
I can guess that it is a MIDI controller/keyboard for the feet.
Kind of like the kind you see on a church organ, except smaller.
Really clever, and makes me love this group even more 🎶🎹❤

Love that bluegrass style.
Cosmic banjo! 🎉
love it .... that bass player is doing it all... wow... very talented.. what is he using for the keyboard sounds
Thanks Skip! It’s a Studiologic mp-113 midi foot controller, running into an Apple laptop. The software it is running is called MainStage, which has endless possibilities for sounds and customization. Glad you enjoy the music!
You did it! You captured it! Good job,
Listening for the first time ☺️ love it! 👍🎶🤘
Thank you so much for a great rendition of one of the few 👮 songs I like
Stellar performance. The envelope filter was so key.
Great Tapestry! Reminded at beginning of early Rush with Caribbean bouquet and relaxing finish.
Beautiful!
Wholly Flerking Schnit that was INCREDIBLE!!!!
WOW!
Wow! Never woulda thunk it - but this reworking is impressive! Classic song, of course, and being fairly basic in chord structure, gives lots of room for the band members each to shine! I'll be listening / watching to more 🙂

You somehow completely recreated the song while still capturing it's original vibe perfectly.
Not an easy thing to do do.
Loved it.
Excellent!
