The Touch (Stan Bush Cover) - The Transformers Theme - Lords of the Trident

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
On May 2nd, during our "Drunken Quarantine Karaoke" livestream for COVID-19 relief, Patreon backer John Hoban from Duluth, MN pledged $99.99 to hear Fang sing "The Touch" by Stan Bush. The song was listed at $10. Overwhelmed by his generosity, as well as the generosity of many others during the stream, we wanted to do something fun to surprise John. Jason Ashcraft and Fang worked in secret to put this track and video together, and we hope you enjoy it!

GIGANTIC THANKS to Michael Goodrich of Hypnotic Audio for his help with drum programming and mixing, as well as Ted Whitten for mastering the track! Also big thanks to Nate Bjork for letting me borrow his dual keyboard stand!

• Fang - Vocals, Keys, Bass
• Jason Ashcraft - Rhythm Guitar
• Baron Taurean Helleshaar - Lead Guitar
• Michael Goodrich - Drums, Mixing
• Ted Whitten - Mastering
• Mary Sweeney - Camerawork

OH MY GOD YOU GUYS, STAN BUSH JUST RETWEETED THE VIDEO
THIS IS THE BEST DAY EVER

[onedaxster]

"Prime!"
"One shall stand, one shall fall."
"Why throw away your life so recklessly?"
"That's a question you should ask yourself, Megatron."
"No! I'll crush you with my bare hands!"

[directorscarlett]

"Megatron must be stopped, no matter the cost"

[eightballprime]

This makes a hardcore Optimus Prime fan smile bigger than you can imagine

[bewareofwil]

Saw Transformers in the theater. I had no idea what would happen, and was an uncontrollable sobbing mess for half of the movie. Not only with Optimus, but Wheeljack, Prowl, Ratchet, and my favorite, Ironhide. I still get a little choked up hearing this song. Banger of a cover.

[GuitarMAXMusic]

good! I think we need more Stan Bush covers!

[ssfbob]

This is the most 80's thing I've seen since David Hasselhoff did the Lone Survivor music video for Kung Fury.

[RDMacQ]

This is legit one of the best covers of this song I've ever heard.

[mrolfs]

While watching this video, I accidentally touched my cat. He's now a giant green tiger wearing armor and a saddle.

[artemartem]

I just now found this video today and I cannot watch it enough. A cover of a song is supposed to pay tribute to the original artist. Rarely does a cover not only do that but also take it to the next level. WELL FRICKING DONE!!!

[classicstar]

I had an absolute BLAST working on this with you guys!!!

[davemclaughlin]

It's 2022, and I cannot stop listening to this.

Truly well done.

"Megatron most be stopped, no matter the coust" 0:00

1:02 "Prime!" "One shall stand... One shall fall"

[Jacksmusicshack]

FANG DOES IT AGAIN THE WHOLE BAND DOES IT AGAIN!!!

[myscheesatoke]

Light our darkest hour

-Rodimus Prime

[dallassmith]

For the first time in my life I feel like - I'VE got the Touch - I'VE got the Power!

[yip-suneng]

Unicron: Listen to me! You cannot… destroy… my… destiny! Head: BOOM

[drewo.]

As a Transformers fan, and a Minnesotan… this unfathomably warms my heart!!! Probably my all time favorite cover of this song! 💙🚗🤖

[michealdetrick]

The original version gave me goosebumps and this version did too. Phenomenal

[Michael-ztwb]

You need to take these tapes to the record company!!
