Whoever approved Kanye to being there should be fired it was awful it didn't fit whatsoever,,,, if it was that old show called The Gong Show what do you think would have happened
@@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.
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.
@@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.
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.
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.
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
@@AlbPerNilit 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
@@AlbPerNil 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
kanye might have not fit well into this mix, but not calling kanye a great musician is not fair. he is one of the greatest rapper/ producers of the last 20 years. this is coming from a rock fan
@@sausageandeggmcmuffin97 well I wouldn't know about that, but on the strength of this performance I think he should return his membership to the musician's union.
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 🎸! 👏🏻😎
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??
The most ridiculous sentenace I have ever read. You obviously know nothing about music and that is coming from someone who is not really a fan of Kanye West.
Imagine how Stewart's feeling, an accomplished jazz musician sat playing drums behind some guy making up lyrics as he goes and he gets payed 15x what Stewart gets.
@@shrezboi7152 No he is not. He is accomplished in a monetary sense but in art that means jack shit. His music is retarded at best and the target audience are ghetto retards who buy his music, hence the success. The fact that he was allowed to share the stage with The Police is an abomination. Get the fuck out.
@@MrAnubhabd bro you just made every Indian look bad with your remark. And the funniest bit of your comment is the ghetto remark cos most of his fans are White lmao. That's like me dismissing the Police as a bunch of cranky old boomers who scream in the mic and make music for fedora wearing entitled snobbish crybaby twats like you who probably have never been laid and complain about muh new generation. Genuinely go fuck yourself.
Kanye stumbling around the stage and mumbling with the adults brought me back to my 1 year old's first time joining in on the Christmas carols. "Isn't he cute?! You did real good, you little cutie pie!"
