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

[Tallestblue]

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.

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

[Gutsman Heavy]

I like

[Ode to a Grasshopper]

NOOOO! Bring back Smiley!

Instruments of Destruction was so much better anyway...

Nah he shouldn't have tampered with a classic. The original "The touch" was an 80's masterpiece and will forever be remembered in the books of history as one of the greatest movie themes of all time. You all remember how awesome the music video clip was...with Stans crazy long hair waving back and forth.

I reckon it would be gold if Bay used the original song in the final credits. Twood be a hit with the fans!
