This remains my absolute favorite Leo metal cover of all time. Something about the original song, the composition, Mary shredding the banjo, and the harmony of the two singing does it for me more than any other Leo cover, which says a ton because damn near every song he does is perfect.

@greghall5968 3 ай бұрын

agreed! i think the duet aspect really nailed it. i think this came out so well because the original song just has so much meat on it's bones that it gave him a lot to work with. Leo's guitar riff is killer! awesome take on the original!

I have to agree! I do not like covers (remakes) unless it is as good or better than the original. Guns and Roses did a great job with "Live and Let Die" (and I am a huge Beatles fan). They also hit it outta the park with Bob Dylans "Knockin On Heaven's Door". Now Metallica, who I love, did NOT do Bob Seager's "Turn The Page" any justice. This rendition of "Sultans Of Swing" was FANTASTIC! I believe Mark Knofler himself would be impressed. I just happened upon this video less than a year ago and was completely blown away by it and I show it to anyone old enough to know the original by Dire Straits. Great job Mary and Leo!

This song means so much to me, My grandpa, George Swarner. Played in an old jazz band and adored music more than anything. In fact, his close friends called him "Guitar George" and he loved this song more than anything. It was the first time I got to connect to my Grandpa as he and I were both Dire Straits fans. Then I shared this song with him, and he wrote me with enthusiasm. Little did I know that Mary and Leo's Sultan's of Swing would be the last song he'd ever hear again. Shortly after hearing this song he sadly passed away but not before he let me know that this was one of his favorite musical experiences ever. Thanks Mary and Leo.

I am 55. When I first heard this song, I was 14. It was on the radio in the car, when my father picked me up from school late in the afternoon, and I was so mesmerized that I asked him to sit and wait, when we were already home, because the song was still going on. So, you can imagine, what Sultans of Swing meant and still means to me. Unfortunatley, it also made me quit playing the guitar for a while, because somebody had already created what I had always had in my mind somewhere and which was just perfect. All that being said, I love, absolutely LOVE your version of this song. It is so unique, such a fresh take and still full of respect for the original, and also done with great singing and great playing. Very, very well done.

Now I'm 49 years old and I dance in my kitchen to them because you've fattened them up and made them into songs I absolutely love!! Young man, you are a terrific musician and a fantastic recording artist. I hear every note that you ramp up and every not your shush down and I assure you.... they are all at precisely the right times. You are to recording what Amy Winehouse was to singing.

Mary & Leo- I'm 73 yrs. old and never liked Metal, but this is great- I've played it for many people and we agree this is phenominal- best video yet.

@jeffdornan5122 3 жыл бұрын

I’m 43, and I’ve always been a metal head, but I have always loved classic rock as well. The union of these two art forms is why I love Leo’s music. That and he can take music I never liked and make it scream.😁

As a huge Dire Straits fan I was a bit apprehensive of a metal version of one of the greatest songs of all time, but that was truly excellent

Wow I actually needed this today... an old classic but given an epic boost that moves you in ways the original is too chill and too familiar to do anymore.

Fantastic cover, Mary, Leo was phenomenal!! But I can't get the version of you n' Josh out of my head, dozens of plays, I still LOVE what you two laid down that day. Wishing you great health and a creative 2024...

There are so few covers of this song that I enjoy. Most of them should never have been made at all. But this is a legitimately original take, with a clever arrangement, done perfectly. Amazing stuff guys.

When it comes to music like this it's Frog Leap Studios for me. He's already a great one man band. Adding Mary was gold.

@ yeah, lol. KZfaq already recommended it, but your input is more valuable than an algorithm of course. Left to the algorithm alone, I may never have discovered Frog Leap Studios. I spotted him a few times doing covers other people did. Normally not metal songs. I was quickly won over. Then using props like kids drums. Man. So awesome!

Mary, I got a Chrissie Hynde flashback with your side of this absolutely brilliant take on Mark Knophler and Dire Straights song. I'm 72 and saw the Pretenders in Santa Barbara (Way back when Dinosaurs ruled the earth) I hope I can see you both some day LIVE ! Santa Barbara seeks to be your audience ! Brilliant cover !
