      It's cause he /All of them, Absolutely NAILED IT. If I ever do covers, I go for the album versions. (was in a radiohead tribute band, stand-up drums and lead vocals ..and we all listened) .. SO RAD this guy understands WHY a song is awesome in the first place. Don't get me wrong.. Jeff Buckley's cover of "Hallelujah" is one of the 8 wonders of the world.. but those are Somewhat rare. This blew absolutely my mind. Go Cap'n Styles! (SIgned, nowAFan...DotCom ;)

      I turned 13 in 1990, so my youth was the 80's. I was lucky to have Mtv for most of the 80's and I love this tune. The video is great. Another good one was "Big Time". Hell, I'm gonna watch it right now!

      I do not. Who would care for a copy which is doomed to fail compared to the original. WHo would go hear a xerox ? I want to hear artists put their musical vision in their cover, take risks, propose another reading. When Judas Priest covers Diamond and Rust, it is their own version. When Toris Amos covers Smells Like Teen Spirit, it doesn't in anyway ressembles the original.

    • @gfailen
      @gfailen Před 4 lety +14

      In my opinion, this is a 95% copy, and I would’ve prefered either a 99 % (100 % is of course impossible), or a cover. This recreation seems to be in the middle. Well executed, but in the middle. Also, some of the groove is missing.

      @AnyoneCanSee Před 4 lety +1

      Well, Gabriel obviously had to sign off on agreeing for him to do the cover version. For me, it is way too close to the original. If you are going to completely copy a song note for note, I don't really understand the point in doing it. But if it makes him and his fans happy and he has Gabriel's blessing I guess it doesn't matter what I think.

    Wow, I saw Peter Gabriel in 87’ in upstate New York for the debut of his So album. Harry Styles performed such a fantastic remake. Bravo.

    • @brightymcbrightface
      @brightymcbrightface Před 4 lety

      what? where's the "tribute"?
      it's not even a "cover"
      it's a mimicry
      it's a computer generated copy
      may as well have watched Stern tap "play" on an iPhone

      Well you can also, listen to his solo stuff, he draws influence from these artists, check out his first album and his second fine line, and by the way it was so good that u liked this cover cheers😁
