@@luciogaspar4064 I don't think so man, I think at 2:36 John was about to solo but had a gear malfunction. You can see his guitar technician come over and fix the issue. He later on goes to smoothly blend the solo over Kanye's voice at the end. Musicianship at its best.
@@jimi272 you're correct that its not always that way - but in this case it absolutely is a relic. That's the BK1 - lots of videos out there about why JM had it made that way.
Nah, not on this. The police in the hood aren't evil. They meet evil on it's level and defend the innocent law abiding folks in the hood who are scared to walk the streets because of dopeheads, dopeboys and gangbangin dudes who all look to prey on the innocent hard working folks that are just trying to survive in the hellhole known as the hood. If you gone tell it, tell it like it is and not how you perceive it because you hate the police. Cold Truth.
John just told the story of performing this song on Andy Cohen's online radio show with much reverence for Andy Summers, who taught him the secret guitar harmony in the dressing room on acoustic guitars. On a personal note, in 2008 I traveled to London to see John Mayer play with Clapton and Sheryl Crow and Jason Mraz with The Police the next night in Hyde Park. Trip of a lifetime seeing London and Paris.
Mayer added some brilliant touch’s to this Classic Police song. I was impressed and could hear his playing in my earbuds. Great Player and talent! And I’m an Andy Summers fan mainly but he definitely added some extra musicality to this track! KW? I’m not a Rap fan so that’s all I’ll say. 😎👏🏻🎸
Yeah because your a Boomer who doesn't understand Kanye, he created some of the best Hip Hop from 04' to 16 all changing within that time period aswell
@@LeadBeatPinkit doesn't matter at all if you're a boomer or not, if you only know a bit of what music is about you'll understand that Ye fucking sucks ass my guy
@@LeadBeatPink I ain’t a boomer. It was different to see Kanye in this for sure. I liked it. But you can see the difference between musicians and rappers. Totally different. Makes the rappers look a little off.
@@athfdrizzle calling kanye west just a “rapper” is probably the craziest thing i’ve seen on this app today. should really put in some research before commenting about stuff you know little about
I’m not gonna lie this is probably one of my favorite live collabs even if Kanye is in this. But Damn I gotta say, sting is still singing like a boss even at this age.
John Mayer added some tasty, jazzy licks on top of this song that I really enjoyed like a cherry 🍒 on top of a Chocolate Sundae! Sweet! He’s more talented than I thought! And playing next to Andy Summers is no joke! Summers is a master of the guitar 🎸! 👏🏻😎
Elliott Michaels, I cant speak for anyone’s preference but my own. And I wouldn’t dare speak as if I know what The Police felt about it. I can however theorize that, it’s possible, if they had to do it over, they would stick with the one guy they invited who could compliment, and pass on the random shouty guy.
Kw just killed the vibe of this song, I play guitar and I was playing along and kw shows up trying to add Adlibs to the song and just messed it up and not even keeping note in song
Love how Kanye showed up, screamed yeah and uh because he came on to early, said 4 lines (2 of which were repeated) then continues to scream yeah and uh until the songs over… why was he there again?😅
can we trade a John Mayer guitar solo for Kanye's rap? not trying to insult, I just don't think he was a good addition to this song "put your hands in the air??
hahah yes, but that doesn’t mean that is a bad artist, he is one of the best producer and artist of the history. it’s just that rock and rap don’t go together
Never wouldve thought I wouldve seen Police, John Mayer and Kanye together
it's like the old Sesame Street game "one of these three is not like the others!"
And I was violently hoping for that we would have to. Jesus.. he sucks.
One of the rare moments where the harmony is actually played live lol
Yes! It sounded so damned good! Those guitars were in perfect sync! 🎉
“What is this, a crossover episode?”
If you know, you know
Bojackkkkk
0:31 I’m really curious why Sting claps his hands like an alien (a legal alien)
Are you sure because it’s no fun being an illegal alien! NO NO NO ITS NO FUUN BEING AN ILLEGAL ALIEN!
This is what I came for 😂
One should learn from John Mayer on how to play in a band. This guy is a real musician!!!
Sonal Kuruvilla sadly, hes an asshole human
Detlef Davis
No he isn't. There's just your excuse to hate on him. He's actually down to earth.
Detlef Davis do you know him personally?
EvaLolaCookie Arellano Met him 2x and he’s a great guy - totally misunderstood
Andy Summers was my choice.
Wish john would hav solo'd on this. Cool how he just chills on the rhythm, cool guy.
he has one, it starts at 5:01, but kanye was shouting over it
@@luciogaspar4064 I don't think so man, I think at 2:36 John was about to solo but had a gear malfunction. You can see his guitar technician come over and fix the issue. He later on goes to smoothly blend the solo over Kanye's voice at the end. Musicianship at its best.
He definitely play out the song with some cool lead lines.
Mom: Take your brother with you
Me: ok...
did u take him
He still plays that bass at his concerts - love it. John, too, has this beat up guitar, shows the love.
That’s a relic guitar, which means it looks like this since day one.
@@zyns3045 not necessary... my reliced guitars actually got their own relic over time by playing it more....
@@jimi272 you're correct that its not always that way - but in this case it absolutely is a relic. That's the BK1 - lots of videos out there about why JM had it made that way.
@@timzolandz1843 you don’t get it. Even with relics, over time, the more you play it, it gets more reliced. Means the factory relic is just a start.
That thing will be worth a shit ton if it ever reaches the auction house.
John Mayer added some very tasty licks near the back end of the tune. Definitely his signature sound!!
"The only good Police in the hood"
Kanye speaking facts
Nah, not on this.
The police in the hood aren't evil.
They meet evil on it's level and defend the innocent law abiding folks in the hood who are scared to walk the streets because of dopeheads, dopeboys and gangbangin dudes who all look to prey on the innocent hard working folks that are just trying to survive in the hellhole known as the hood.

That was 1st new thing I noticed.
Sweet harmony.
I love that - it's so buried within the mix that even John Mayer needs an inside tip. Thanks so much for sharing!
If you listen closely they’re actually playing the harmony guitar part as well, which is how the song was originally recorded
They’re trying, it was way out of tune at one point
3:09
Copeland can't believe, what's going on...
IM DYING HAHAHAHA I NOTICED IT TOO
Look at his face
West is the complete fuckwit that's why
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Kanye be like “I’m about to make the Police famous”
I laughed so hard at this.
He's thoroughly mistaken ...
they already were dumbass

6:46 John Mayer just got swooshed xD
'Kainye West' lol
True musicians on stage. And Kanye.
Kanye is not only a musician he is an artist.
And the biggest rockstar alive.
U dumb asf boy 😂 kanye the goat
@@AkidaToritamayou might need to extend your vocabulary a bit bud
The guitar harmony!
The 1st time i saw this I thought Kanye was such a joke on here but yo "we gonna elect John for Mayer" was pretty hot can't lie, sorry Ye.
Mikki Pulli 🙌🏼
It goes hard
Nightmare blunt rotation
I was there. Pretty amazing.
the scenography behind the stage made with car tires! wonderful
I'm seeing Sting live next year and this one is top of my dream setllst for that gig
John can sing this so well in his album any given Thursday and now he only plays guitar.
Wrong hunh
@@maryjozwiak6555 what do you mean?
@@daniquevaneijk1863 I only meant they might have showed him playing a little more.
Most epic live performance
The police never sounded so good 👍 Amazing 👏 😍 🙌 👌 😀 😉 actuall instruments real talent.
For anyone looking for the John Mayer harmony 1:40
grandismo concierto saludos from mexico city.
Super dope.
I love how at 6:45 the drummer and John Mayer are horsing around behind Sting😂😂
The Police, no habrá otro igual. Saludos desde Lima, Perú
With Kanye on stage, you better send out an SOS...
This comment is underrated
You bet!
damn.
He’s ducking awful!
Jajajajajajajajajajajajajaja the, best comment in the best moment!
Mantab. . Dapet banget tuh Roh nya.... Kanye West..... Backing vocal nya Jhon Mayer.... Makin terpekejing ...aksi panggung nya
what's up with this crowd? this shit is
🔥
John Mayer can pretty much play anything.
Kayne west is crap lol 😆
@@dianemason9092 yea right, that's why Sting was holding his hand up at the end...
How to reck a jam session
Kanye totally rapped this classic... Props to John Mayer's technician, you can se Mayer's face like "Oh shit"
John Mayer loves Kanye though. they even made a song together
Legend 🙏🙏🤘🏿🔥🤘🏿
What a collab of top of the line artists jamming together. It's the bomb! They blew the roof off the mutha'💣💣💣
Oh John ... just perfect

kanye made it better cope and seethe
@@HaloCollective I thought Kanye did good tho….
@@theswig2339 No, he didn't ad anything of value to the song and almost fucked it up.
This was absolutely brilliant until Kanye started with his nonsensical shouting.
@@theswig2339he's just a hater, leave him be, under every comment he's just being a stan all over people.
Get this guy a metronome
get ur mom an iron lung
Dis why ye da goat
Che ritmo bravi grandi

This is freaking awesome. Don't know what everyone is complaining about.
You must b deaf!
スティング朝からも、サイコー
Mayer and the police rocking it out:🙌🙌🙌✨
Kanye rapping :🥴🥴🥲💀
This was so exhilarating!
From 2007...just before everyone and their mother brought cell phones to live events.
Cell phones ruined the world for me
Such amazing multi-generational talent talent on that stage and also Mr. West.
Shut up
And we can save the world!!!
The Police is great as usual but I never knew this collaboration existed lol
“Put your hands in the air like you just don’t care” Really???
kanye loves those fast tempo songs. look up kanye take on me. he dances to that at his concert.
what the hell kanye was doing???? with THE POLICE
right
doin dope shit Bc his life is dope
Being a sellout.
Ruining a great song.
Helping out for a cause he believed in!

Don’t believe what I saw. 4 musical legends in a sublime groove, and a guy who wouldn’t quit shouting over them.
Kanye west is the greatest musician on that stage
Dagreat Papurro, anything is possible. Quite unfortunate that, on this day, he just stood in the way of great music.
Michael Smith I agree
But you know what? It worked perfectly! I am not a fan of West by any means, but this time he added just what was needed ... and the Police knew it!
Elliott Michaels, I cant speak for anyone’s preference but my own. And I wouldn’t dare speak as if I know what The Police felt about it.
I can however theorize that, it’s possible, if they had to do it over, they would stick with the one guy they invited who could compliment, and pass on the random shouty guy.
it's so wild The Police reformed for like two years, what a fever dream that period was
Oh mmmyyy john mayer!!!
So Kanye is just there to say "uh"
Maybe the nitwit should have actually learned the song before going out there.
@@86FxBdyCpe lol like Sting would let him perform if he had no idea what the songs structure was
4:33 Yes message in a bottle Kanye,we heard him too
You think if you said it they could hear it all the way from ur moms basement
❤
The Police still patted Kanye down right after cuz he was doin 55 in a 54
Thats Jay Z lmao
Perfection and then Kanye appeared.
made it better tbh
@@Happylink75I disagree
@@ash_530i womp womp
It was a dream combination until Kanye showed up.
Am I the only one who notices the voice crack on 1:03
Cmon. Sting is old. He deserves a voice crack or two
I did too and was surprised, he is usually flawless. I can hear though that he is struggling a bit in general.
Uau!!!!!
John Mayer (to this day) cannot believe he was on stage with Andy Summers
"This is message in a butthole" LMAO XXDDDDDDDD
How are you not top comment.
A hundred million buttholes, washed upon the shore.
:)
Stop
this sounds like putting the ketch up salse on a Pizza cooked in Napoli

Love how Kanye showed up, screamed yeah and uh because he came on to early, said 4 lines (2 of which were repeated) then continues to scream yeah and uh until the songs over… why was he there again?😅
Right? He was totally unnecessary
I can only see South Park Kanye. Thank you Matt & Trey!
This video is like a live manual for "Dad dancing"
Funniest thing I’ve seen in weeks
There are times that Sting looks like he wants to give Kanye a thumping. If he did, music history would have played out differently.
Sting and Stink singing together! 😂
can we trade a John Mayer guitar solo for Kanye's rap? not trying to insult, I just don't think he was a good addition to this song "put your hands in the air??
don't you mean trade a rap for john mayers solo
Indeed, we do need new leaders to follow, let's get rid of everybody
Rap doesnt belong with this genuine music. Its like a kid came up on stage and everyone was too polite to ask him to leave.
hahah yes, but that doesn’t mean that is a bad artist, he is one of the best producer and artist of the history. it’s just that rock and rap don’t go together
@@marselo8111 yeah its like putting ketchup in a milkshake, just doesnt go. Its fine on its own and has its place elsewhere.
Yea yea yea yea yea yea yea yea yea
Was this before or after the kick off of the farewell tour in Vancouver?
I didn’t mind it at all.
How Kanye West destroyed it all. Period.
This version is so sanitised compared to the 80s versions
👍💋❤️
6:46 lmao
I DONT BELIVE WHAT I SAW
JM and Ye won sweepstakes contest to show up to this
Kanye is so out of place in this. 😂
Holy cow!!! what was Yeezy doing there???
Imagine how unlucky you have to be for Kanye West to land on your song
Ew Kanye west hater
Yeah its bad ..he sound like crAp 🤣
Kanye totally free styling.
He should be freestyling right off the stage lol
Licksnya John Mayer gilak , lagunya jadi cantik banget
