There was a recent BP interview with Marcus where he said he'd bumped into Emilio and Rocco from TOP and they thanked him for the cover, they really dug it. The interviewer asked why he did it in the slap way and he said it was pointless trying to play it fingerstyle because Rocco had played all the notes that needed to be played...

He does a good job, but I'll take Rocco's version any day.

Same here... a song that definitely didn't need redoing.
