Oh Bravo! I'm not even going to ask how you did the drums.  Fantastic cover, the whole thing is fabulous. Smashing!

Drums are beta Monkey drum loops, hard funk interestingly :-) They seem to fit the best.
I first tried the 175bpm, but that was way too fast, and I could keep up with the guitar part in time, so settled for 150 bpm, the original varies between 150 and 160 and so varies quite a lot! The problem with loops is that you can't really move the beat (technically you can, but it screws up the sound somewhat, so I leave the loops alone BPW wise). Bass and guitars are through COSM amps on the BR1600

Really fantastic cover! Brilliant job on each way - very "Police" tones on guitar!

Loved the vocal, as well! Welcome, Ashley!

Wow - quick off the mark and very slick indeed. Not an easy one to do guitar-wise or vocally, but it's been brilliantly (and coolly) done. The guitar tones and playing are outstanding.

Sets the fest bar very high!

Damn that Ashley can sing, mind.

Brilliant version, brought it right up to date.  Get a record deal and get this released, it's a surefire hit.

One of my favorites too, I had the 7" back in the day (on blue vinyl if I remember right, or was that Can't Stand Losing?).  No matter.

Everything sounds great!  A very enjoyable listen and really well done with lots of attention to details.

But I swear, I used to absolutely excel at being young and stupid.
