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 UA-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 ~~~~~~
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.
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
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?
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! ❤🔥💯
Definitely a before and after Covid for me. You guys were there.. and are now. Fantastic performance! Merry Chistmas and Best Wishes for a No WW3 New Year!
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.
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😃😇
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 🙂
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😎
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!
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!
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!
what type of banjo is the percussionist using? I've seen some of your other videos where it just looks to be a 5 string but I've never seen a neck like that before. great music x The sound of the banjo is so often typecast and i think you guys demonstrate so well its versatility, cheers
We fully endorse this lunacy, viva la Banjo Revolution!
I hope Sting, Andy & Stewart have heard this.
Why. Ly

Thank you UA-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!
This is freakin' amazing! Great job guys, just brilliant ❤🔥
Thanks so much!
@@foggymountainspaceship It is my pleasure
I have never seen more done with less
Brilliant
I loved it
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.

Always trying to get the tone of a banjo with a wah coming out of a boxcar

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. 🥰
Shades of Edie Brickell and the New Bohemians.
Love it.
Wow, I didn't notice that, but dang you are right!
Awesome! 👏👏👏 that’s one of my favorite Police songs. You guys did a really great rendition!
Originally thought this was a stripped down Flektones trip.
Awesome!
So good without Sting repeating the chorus 7000 times!
I hear Jerry Garcia being channeled through that banjo. ❤. Great stuff guys
Nice Cup of Coffee. Good Sunday 🌄. Blessed Day.
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!
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.
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 UA-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.

Yup, I too have seen "the wonder that is Lindley!" live!
excellent! I think Jerry would have dug this. Highest compliment I can give.
who the phuck is Jerry ?
I LOVE it ❤
Gentlemen, that was fucking sweet.
Side note: I don't think I've ever seen a bass banjo(?) before. Cool.
Added this to my rare country song list I like.
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. 🤩
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.
Weirdly wonderful in wonky ways!
Thank you!
Yay ! more reggae influenced / pop / bluegrass noodling please FMS geezers !
Thanks for participating!
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...😵💫
Wow. Thought it was a different ‘walking on the moon’ but was pleased it wasn’t! How cool! Thanks!
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.
Well if that ain't the freshest thing! I'm loving it
Cosmic banjo! 🎉
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
Thanks for listening!
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
im really glad i clicked on this damn that was cool!!! the percussionist is just nuts good!! all of you are.
Very enjoyable. I'm really enjoying watching your videos repeatedly and increasingly impressed with Chris' Acoustikit.
Wow Pancho. This is great. Quite the drum kit!
Incredible great drum sounds it all sounded great together love the effects in the base was to cool
These guys are amazing - with the added bonus that I laughed my ass off at their serious expressions!
Thanks for listening!
Outstanding
Thank you so much for a great rendition of one of the few 👮 songs I like
First there was the Shuitar and now we have the Banjotron Acoustikit 2000™ ! I like where this is going.
Wow, that was very unique!!
Thanks!
Hell yeah that's was bad ass. I need alot more of that.
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
🎶🌎☮❤🔥
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 🎶🎹❤

Sounds very good 👍
I'm glad youtube figured I would like this. Sounded so good. you guys are great
Great Tapestry! Reminded at beginning of early Rush with Caribbean bouquet and relaxing finish.
Beautiful!

Love the adapter on the banjo . Cool. Very good sound
Thank you!
Ok, first time ever hearing a banjo with distortion. 😮
That worked so well. Great rendition of this song.
Love that bluegrass style.
Love this!
THE art work just gorgeous. 4:31
Just like Dead South. Bringing bluegrass to mainstream even louder !
Creativity knows no boundaries. You crossed the border.😎
