Hearing these songs on modern instruments makes you realize how badass 80s music actually was.

That break in Enjoy The Silence is a masterpiece.

[AtylaReisGuitar]

This Depeche Mode cover is the BEST VERSION of this song, serious, this is a masterpiece!

[annieains]

STILL watching this 2 years later. You guys are AWESOME! Each a wonderful musician in their own right but Ben....oh that voice and Mr drummer man you ARE the man! Respect!

[PS-kyco]

I will never stop listening to this masterpiece. When I have great mood I'm listening to it, when I have bad mood I'm listening to it, in the car, at home, when i'm working, when I'm alone and with my wife (she's a fan of it too). The medley has even played at our wedding. So clear, so cheerful, so passionate. Thank you, Martin and guys. You've made my life a bit better :)

I've watched this over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and and still LOVE it.

[alphacause]

Every single cover that makes up this mashup was outstanding, but that rendition of Depeche Mode's "Enjoy the Silence" was just on another level. You guys improved on the original in a way that Depeche Mode should be paying you guys royalties! Wow! That guitar solo, near the end, just elevated the song to musical ecstasy.

The drummer is killing it on every single video

[derekbeery]

The jam break in Enjoy the Silence gave me goosebumps.

[ermerstudio]

Absolute highlights were "The final countdown" and "Enjoy the silence." Masterful work. Brilliant. This is what it sounds like when everyone is in perfect sync and masters of their instruments.

[toddherklotz]

The bass player is an excellent singer. Impressive.

[AlineEdFis]

A true musical manifesto representing all those who left the 80s but the 80s didn't leave

[KingSardius]

This is one of the greatest music videos I have ever see. I cannot stop watching it since the first time I saw it about 2 years ago. Kudos to you guys!
