New version of Stan Bush's 'The Touch', and concert DVD

[Vector Sigma 13]

If people had never heard the original and listened to the song without the clip they would probably say

"gee wizz bro- that sounds kinda sweet mmmaaaaattteee!"

I like it.

Love it! Screw Linkin Park, this song needs to be in TF3

I told Stan at Botcon, that this new version sounded more like a Bond opening credits theme now... and after a few moments of him playing it through his head, he agreed. (I could see him thinking something about its new potential...)

I usually like reworkings of 80's songs. but this is..not...good.

I'd much rather see the Glee kids do the Touch rather than this.

Yeah... I like this less than the first version with the creepy rap guy. At least that made me laugh. This made me curl up in the foetal position and rock back and forth in a corner covering my ears. Why Stan, why?

I agree, in the absence of tryhard rap and smiley guitar guy now we're just left with emo stan. Which is just sad.

Hahaha that would be golden

Such mixed feedback! I personally loved it, but I think as a musician it's easier to enjoy a song for what it is rather than where it came from or what it is representing. Like VS13 said, if we were all hearing this for the first time, I think the negative feedback would be reduced, but many are overshadowing the song with an unfair expectation of being as good as the original without being exactly the same. It is a remake, not a cover version.

[Bartrim]

I can understand why people enjoyed it, personally I didn't.

I like it! Haven't heard the version with the rap (nor wish to?!),but this version brings the song up to date and would be great in TF3! I like the different vocal phrasing,the song has had quite a makeover!
...As far as the originals(the touch,dare)-when i was little i put a tape recorder in front of the t.v while watching the cartoon movie on video and taped these songs to listen to;complete with movie dialogue over them!
