I couldn't have enjoyed making this video more! Thanks Leo for persuading me to shred in my own style! x
Mary Spender both did it great, i hope u keep doing covers together. Love it!
Totally enjoyed this! Subbing to your channel as well, after watching this. :)
Well done!
It was great to hear you let loose a little more. I dig your usual style too. Your vocals worked well together
Jees Mary, you gave me a Major case of the Goosebumps! Class!
🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏
Sultans of Metal?
Heck yeah! My dad's favorite band
Oh Yess Leo and Mary! Great version!! Swinging Metal on friday evening. Me like it :) !!
Frog Leap Studios ...yes u are...
Masters of metal
Need that alliteration
Leo. Ok.
I love how Mary just rolls her eyes at the overly used chorus effect on Leo's vocals and she just laying down her perfect, almost dry vocal.
Just brilliant
This remains my absolute favorite Leo metal cover of all time. Something about the original song, the composition, Mary shredding the banjo, and the harmony of the two singing does it for me more than any other Leo cover, which says a ton because damn near every song he does is perfect.
agreed! i think the duet aspect really nailed it. i think this came out so well because the original song just has so much meat on it's bones that it gave him a lot to work with. Leo's guitar riff is killer! awesome take on the original!
This is the one that got me hooked on Leo's music a few years ago. I just keep coming back to watch the video.
This was my first exposure to Frog Leap Studios. Didn't come out of the other end of the rabbit hole for 4 hours.
Me too. Been hooked ever since
Same. First one I stumbled across. Couldn't get enough of his Frog Leap Studio stuff. Follow both him and Mary now. I too... keep coming back to this song.
Allow to join the club.
Just another fans in the room here 🥂
Lol....same!
I’m seventy years old and I cannot stop watching and listening to you two. You both have such entertaining sites and are the nexus of musical recording/fun/creative stuff. Thanks and keep it up!
I'm seven years old and i like it too
Im up in age too ,this ROCKS!!
The same happens to me. I'm 56. I listen to the song at least once a week. Every time youtube shows me I want to see them again. They are very entertaining and musically it is very well achieved.
Man your a legend
*throws horns*
Thank you Mary and Leo for this amazing version of "Sultans of Swing", it's great !!!!!!
And here I am, back again on New Year's Eve 2023 STILL saying this is one of the all time greatest things I have ever heard!! ❤❤❤
2024 and still loving it ❤
Ainthatthetruth. ;)
Nikki(Hailey)'s theme song -
for 2/24/24. .. Just substitute:
"Charleston" for 'London Town,'
"Michael" for 'Harry', "Nikki Hailey"
for 'guitar George,' of course, and
"Lies" for 'Swing.' :-))
Back again in April 2024, just love this video even at 75!
Does anyone else besides me still watch this at least once a week? I STILL LOVE IT!
I do. I love him
Just watched it again. It's one of my favorite versions of one of my favorite songs.
Constantly! It's my favorite cover that Leo has released. I'm a big fan of the original but Leo and Mary's take on it is outstanding!
same here
Twice today 😃
He's hysterical. She's adorable. And they're both really talented. #LoveThis
Absolutely she's adorable
Incredible how their styles and voices blend so well, was not expecting to love this so much.
Mary and Leo are legends, full stop.
I'm always amazed by Leo's range of skills.
Vocals rythum guitar Bass guitar drums video and sound editing 😮
Let's not forget the comedy 😊
No surprise your own style is both beautiful and stylish 😅
Don't forget puppeteering! 😆
I am 55. When I first heard this song, I was 14. It was on the radio in the car, when my father picked me up from school late in the afternoon, and I was so mesmerized that I asked him to sit and wait, when we were already home, because the song was still going on. So, you can imagine, what Sultans of Swing meant and still means to me. Unfortunatley, it also made me quit playing the guitar for a while, because somebody had already created what I had always had in my mind somewhere and which was just perfect.
All that being said, I love, absolutely LOVE your version of this song. It is so unique, such a fresh take and still full of respect for the original, and also done with great singing and great playing. Very, very well done.
I am 70, and I love this soo much! Both of you guys are perfect!
Thanks for doing these. Take care!
you guys would be the greatest dad and greatdad!
Yeah i first listened to this, hope of deliverance and sweet dreams when i was in my dad's car about ten years ago when i would go to the kindergarten. The three of them were on this one cd and my father would play them all the time. Have a good day man
I was 19, now im 56, and it still as good. Quality never dies
Mary's voice is so smokey smooth, it compliments this sing so amazingly. And her solo is incredible! Kudos
My personal favorite of all your covers. The problem is that I’m 65 years old and don’t have anybody to share it with.
we are all sharing it with you Buddy
We are sharing it with you!
I'm 67, listen to metal every day. I'm right here with ya, Buddy!
63 and I am here!
I'm only 29. I'm here jamming with you
This never gets old. Mary Spender's voice is sooooo smooth.
I bet I have watch this 100 times since it was released! I love it! Thank you it makes me happy! 😃
4 years later and this is still my favorite cover from Leo
Same. His production and Mary's singing.
You too, huh???.....................
Yep! From Ukraine! 🇺🇦
SAME!
@@_PretenderSlava Sean Penn 😂
This song means so much to me, My grandpa, George Swarner. Played in an old jazz band and adored music more than anything. In fact, his close friends called him "Guitar George" and he loved this song more than anything. It was the first time I got to connect to my Grandpa as he and I were both Dire Straits fans. Then I shared this song with him, and he wrote me with enthusiasm. Little did I know that Mary and Leo's Sultan's of Swing would be the last song he'd ever hear again. Shortly after hearing this song he sadly passed away but not before he let me know that this was one of his favorite musical experiences ever. Thanks Mary and Leo.
Sorry about your loss - but man - what an awesome legacy being able to share this with him.
Damn... now that is a story
RIP Guitar George. I bet you knew all the chords.
Wonderful story
Sorry about your loss but at least he got to minic a first time experience as a last time experience for you. R.I.P. "Guitar George"
Hats off to both Leo and Mary 🎩 ❤❤❤
I know I'm late to the party on this one, but total enjoyment.... it makes rock, smile, and laugh.... what a hoot..... Love their voices.... Well done!
Partygoers never arrive too late or too early
.
🎉🎉🎉
I love how Leo's hardcore growl and gitar solos are balanced with Mary's sweet vocal and play style. Contrast, nuff said... After 3 years, still my favourite
Indded, it's like when you are cooking and a frie d suggest to and something new that you never tried. At first you think. Naaaaa, that will not work. Though, once you do it just the best. This so the vocal, style mix feels here.
@@haroldasraz I probably have listened to this song 30 times. Whenever it show up on my list I watch it!
@Daniel Glover - yup, me too.
I love both the original and this, for that exact reason, the two play off of each other so well it just brings something extra and new to the whole art. Depth makes great music
This goes under:
"Things I didn't ask for but didn't know I needed"
Mary you are hero level, your finger pick bluesy style rocks. I'm grateful to be able to hear and watch your awesomeness
There has never been a better cover of this song.
I'm constantly coming back to listen this song, for years now. It's amazing.
By far you my friend have the greatest TH-cam profile name in TH-cam history. Cheers to you!
@@riffjohnson22 thanks, many people don't know whose name I chose for my profile.
@@tylerdurden9161 I dont talk about it
@@dalecurran1343 talk about what?😉🤫🤐
nice name
I'm an old fan of "Dire Straits" and musician. This is the best cover of "Sultans of Swing" I've ever seen. You guys have a good taste.
Try Monte Montgomery's version.
@@paulshannon7303 I watched the live version. Plays not bad. But his version is generally worse than this studio work by Leo and Mary. Objectively, these two versions cannot be compared.
@@GasconS68 Correct. They kind of, well, suck, at live playing.
I was newly dubbed "Macaroni " by my fellow students in 1978 when I had done "something cool" on a field-trip to the nearby university museum. In 1978, being a macaroni was a grand thing. I have always associated this song with my rebellious (and just) actions that day and I am pleased that you two have made the song more orchestral by applying a thick coating of metal.......Bravo!¡!!🎉🎉🎉🎉
5 years later....
Still my favorite re-arrangement of the iconic Sultans of Swing 😂
This is hands down the best non-Knopfler version of this song I have ever heard. And the video was so well done by both artists.
No question well done
You should check out the version by Miguel Montalban: insane. Especially the "Live And Loud Vienna" performance.
The best version off that song😂😂
@@TimMer1981 And that was a good suggestion. Thanks :-)
I love "Sultans of Swing" very much, but it was this performance of the song that just "blew my brain" for me. Thank you so much Leo and Mary
5 Years later. This is still my favorite version of this song.
Absolutely incredible. Even by your standards Leo. One of your best ever.
Mary killed it need more collaborations with mary
This is possibly the very best cover of any song I've ever heard
I have to agree! I do not like covers (remakes) unless it is as good or better than the original. Guns and Roses did a great job with "Live and Let Die" (and I am a huge Beatles fan). They also hit it outta the park with Bob Dylans "Knockin On Heaven's Door". Now Metallica, who I love, did NOT do Bob Seager's "Turn The Page" any justice. This rendition of "Sultans Of Swing" was FANTASTIC! I believe Mark Knofler himself would be impressed. I just happened upon this video less than a year ago and was completely blown away by it and I show it to anyone old enough to know the original by Dire Straits. Great job Mary and Leo!
Moi j'aime pas il y à bien mieux mais bon !!
Listen to HSAS cover Whiter shade of pale. Up there as well. Sammy Hagar, Neil Schon and crew
@@tracierathbun7686live and let die is Paul McCartney and Wings from
1973. The last Beatles album was 1970. So it’s not a Beatles song, but a McCartney solo song.
Still watching 5 years later and this is still awesome. Love watching this from time to time.
4 years later and this is still one of my favorite things in all of YT. Thanks you two.
Same here.
As an 73 year old, old fart DFH I was never really into metal. Then the TH-cam algorithm sent me here.
These kids are alright.
You're pretty all right, too, pal!
The Who agree.
Try Gojira
I'm 67, and anytime I want to get pumped up, this is what I listen to! Kudos!!!
I'm a 72 year old guitarist who loves this rendition! Rock on & wave on!
I keep coming back to watch this one. Amazing!
I come back to this every couple of weeks when I get bored of all the wannabees on YT.
Maybe I'm biased because Leo is a well known legend here in Norway and Mary is one of Bristols finest musicians so you already know that the collaboration would be dynamite, but I bet no one had any idea that it would be this good.
As a huge Dire Straits fan I was a bit apprehensive of a metal version of one of the greatest songs of all time, but that was truly excellent
Matthew Fraser agreed
Matthew Fraser she rolled her eyes for the die hard dires
Matthew Fraser • Exact same thought here. It was fun, though.
Yep.
same here! As a huge Dire Straits enthusiast I was a bit afraid that this turned into a stinker, but I was positively surprised. Nice adaption!
As as HUGE DIRE STRAITS FAN wasn't sure how I felt about this version.... but I must say... you kept true to the songs roots and put your own spin on it... BRAVO!
Leo jumps around like a frog on LSD, while Mary stands totally cool and relaxed and plays the same parts... iconic cover!
There are a lot of versions and cover of this legendary song, but this one is awesome! A real metal version.
Her voice is like honey. So smooth, so rich. I love it.
Mary & Leo- I'm 73 yrs. old and never liked Metal, but this is great- I've played it for many people and we agree this is phenominal- best video yet.
I’m 43, and I’ve always been a metal head, but I have always loved classic rock as well. The union of these two art forms is why I love Leo’s music. That and he can take music I never liked and make it scream.😁
I show this to people because having fun with music is so important. You can learn music fundamentals so you can play with anybody. Love❤ Mary continue your musical journey!
Wow, just came across this by accident.... bloody brilliant 👏
Mary’s voice is a perfect compliment to Leo’s metal voice.
Sultans of Swing is one of the best rock songs EVER Written and this was the best remake EVER! I listen to both versions over and over! Bravo!!!
After all those years i still stop by every now and then to listen to this song. It is absolutely great. The mixture of your styles is amazing. Maybe you will do another song some day.
One of the best cover versions ever made. Fucking love this.
I love that Leo never dissapoints, he's so talented
Song has smashing on the floor
This is still one of the top collaborations I've ever seen. Your two voices blend so well.
I love this song (the original) and I love your version of it even more. Every now and then it pops up on my TH-cam feed…………so I play it again and again, full volume! “I LOVE IT!” I’m sixty years old and cant get enough of it. Thank you.
Leo your a uncovered gem I've come across. That circus you have playing in that head banging brain is f.....n amazing. You must he a alien with eyes like that. Please do all covers of every rock song on this earth. You interpret ate music in a unmatchable genius. Thank you!
P.s my family wanna disown me. Rock on man
You have blown the roof off with this version. I have never been a metal fan, but was just looking out of curiosity and was really impressed well done you guys from a 70 year old who loves Dire Straits
EVERYTHING about this is perfect! Apart from his artistry, the technical ability of this guy is off the chart. No ones music sounds this good on youtube.
Fantastic cover, Mary, Leo was phenomenal!! But I can't get the version of you n' Josh out of my head, dozens of plays,
I still LOVE what you two laid down that day. Wishing you great health and a creative 2024...
40 million views 👏👏👏congratulations Mary 👏👏👏🥂
This one never gets old. Time for another guest appearance by Mary?
Yep
This is the greatest gift to mankind. Mary is awesome and together with Leo they are great
Leo has quickly won my ears. Such awesome singing and playing
Beautiful instruments. Especially that natural finished one with the frog! Gorgeous
Can’t believe it’s been three years since I first heard this one. It’s still fresh as fuck.
Yeah.. ..
my last fuck was 3 years ago. Feels very fresh 😉😄😛🎸
Yup. Time flies, that’s for sure. Seems like it gets worse the older you get as well. Nowadays it seems just like it’s bloody Christmas once a week.
Great. Now make more. Don't ucking stop 👌💪
This song was how I discovered Leo. I like almost everything he does but I still believe this is his best song. It's hard to believe it has been three years since he put this out.
@@Principaledpragmatist that feeling when you discover a new great artist. Priceless!
Leo. I grew up to this music. I loved DS I loved Toto I loved Survivor and all of the rest. I loved them because MTV and Much Music said I had to. I had these songs engraned in my memory maybe not because I love them but because I heard them all of the time. Now I'm 49 years old and I dance in my kitchen to them because you've fattened them up and made them into songs I absolutely love!! Young man, you are a terrific musician and a fantastic recording artist. I hear every note that you ramp up and every not your shush down and I assure you.... they are all at precisely the right times. You are to recording what Amy Winehouse was to singing. YOu just know when. I don't really understand you..... you're far too young to be this good but I'm thankful for what you do and I so appreciate you're talent.
Thank you for making my music into something I can now not just like, but something I can l0ve. Mary Spender....... Also way too young to be this good!!!
Música top e versão sensacional, parabéns ❤❤
This song is my my youth, this song is comfort, this cover is me. Thank you young people for this rendition
I have been listening to music all my life , now 69 yrs old, and all I can say that was absolutely brilliant...
I'm 56 and I agree! And finally after all these years, my trauma from teenage exposure to those disco songs in the '70's is HEALED! (From Leo's metal covers of them.) LOL
Ditto
I fully agree that this is fantastic music. Well done Leo, Stine, Mary, Hannah and all the other musos from a 64 year old.........
Legen-daryyy!!
really russ.... i neither want to vote this up or down.. so that's where it remains... in purgatory
Being life long Dire Straits fan ... I must say " It's BRILLIANT!!!
@Axel Foley well said!!
you nailed it man & yes they nailed too.
One of my favorite covers of all time. You guys are amazing together.
Love this version. It’s so refreshing and different. Great collab.
i honestly dont think i have ever seen anybody enjoy what they do more than Leo
Leo is on drugs for sure
@@micahthomas2908 This comment is a little stupid. People can know great joy without drugs. Open your mind a little bit to how awesome things can be. Life can be full of joy for its own sake, you don't always need drugs to be a happy person.
Haha, I was just kidding bro. I don't even do drugs. He is just a little crazy 😂. I think crazy people are awesome
@@micahthomas2908 You don't put together that kind of music/Video package while "on drugs". There is too much actual skill involved.
There are so few covers of this song that I enjoy. Most of them should never have been made at all. But this is a legitimately original take, with a clever arrangement, done perfectly. Amazing stuff guys.
This is one of those beauties you stumble on and wonder how the hell you've never found it before... Amazing.
yeah I just found this a couple days ago as well. now just going through the rest of them. Good stuff!
Remains me of Lynott
You're going to keep coming back to it, too.
Hogdeath I felt the same after I saw this.
One of the best covers ever made
This is my favorite cover ever. This is the best cover.
Holy shit! I love the original, but am always blown away when I find a good cover. Your spin on this is absolutely incredible, man. Well done. Wish I had seen it years ago.
Leo is funny, and Mary sings like an angel with a relaxed attitude!!!! I love this song!!!! I love that the sound is so great and tight!!!!!
I love Mary's vocals. I like when women can sing low. And this whole thing is really well done!
i agree im not a fan of squeaky female voices
I 💖 seeing an attractive woman w/ a guitar in her hands, and I love it even MORE when she knows how to use it.🤟⚡🔥
One of my favorite parts is 3:57.
Ditto on the low female singing voice. My wife is a Mezzo Soprano. Her low range is awesome - under appreciated in the music world.
And then some!
I was listening both. Still the best combination for me! Rock everything!
I must have listened to this video 100 times. This is the best cover of a song ever.
Mary's smooth voice is the perfect blend with leo's metal vocals.
Absolutely!
Agreed, impressive production all the way around.
The most extraordinary cover of the Sultans of Swing I've ever listened to.... Goosebumps all over.....
Ok bud, settle down lolol
Still coming back to this video six years later. One of my all-time favorite songs converted to my favorite genre. Sooo good.
This cover is and will always be the No 1 from you Leo!
Ta hand om dig!
This just highlights what a masterpiece Sultans of Swing truly is.
Mark Knopfler AND Leo, with Mary’s beautiful vocals - this is a definite win
Best cover I’ve ever heard. the contrast between the two artists is magical. Its perfection
The more I watch this video the more I like it. It's perfect. Thanks guys!
I love musics from Leo but I really falling in love with the voice of Mary Spender. She is also great, I ❤ her voice
This was 4 years ago.. she's not the same anymore unfortunately
@@rndmfella1874 been a tough couple o years fella, dont think many of us are the same :/ 🍻
@@rndmfella1874 Why ???
This really is a great version. I can't stop watching this video. As great as Leo is, it seems that adding Mary Spender to anything just makes it even better.
Yes, I am replying to myself, cause i am back again, for more and more. I absolutely love this version.
Amongst a slew of other things the subtle vocal harmonies in the background keep me coming back again and again. 41,000,000 views sez I'm not the only one.
What amazing collaboration of one of my favorite songs!
This is by far my favorite cover in at least ten years. Totally made this song their own. At the same time performing a really good representation of the original's solo. It was a masterful solo now and in its own time.
You might like also what the player grabbed there as an other aspect of the piece : th-cam.com/video/FMeg-hndipY/w-d-xo.html but you're right, Leo and Mary are pure bombs here in their field.
What is absolutely great about this that although metalized one can recognize this as a Dire Straits song immidiately.
I guess I have seen this hundreds of times but it keeps getting better and better.
I keep coming back to this clip and always will because it is just one of the best ever. Good luck Mary and Leo great work.
Every guest coming through the frog leap doors are so talented, and sound so good with Leo. I enjoy all the frog leap videos so much!
It's so much fun even 3 years later - still my favourite version of this great song! Fun fact: This is where I discovered Mary Spender! 🤣
Love ya
It's where I found her music as well and wow is she a amazing musician
Me too.
Absolutely freakin awesome!!
Ive got to visit this place of musical serenity! So many gems coming out of this place!
