The Police since 1977 - the best british band ever!

[jackie2311]

@Istaba422 --- this song is a rare inedit accustic version of ·"Every little thing she does is magic" by The Police

[1LeNi5]

Yes i have to agree they were and still are the best band Stewart Copeland Rocks

[xterra43]

beautiful video, well done but the title is inaccurate - The Beatles were the best Brit band ever. :)

[Sirchcis]

isnt stewart born in american

[cloudchaser07]

@Sirchcis Born in virginia moved to egypt with his family. his father was a CIA agen. then he moved to Beirut lebanon where he attended American Community School there.

[jibberjabberman]

@meccaturbo lol again your full of it. uneducated? english isnt even my first language. how many languages do you speak? haha reading your comments and also realising your 40 years old makes me wonder what school you went to.

[meccaturbo]

Yes, you are uneducated, you retarded moron. You don't know anything about the Police, and to think that without Stewart/Andy they would be nothing, shows just how retarded you are. Go do some research, you stupid limey.

[jibberjabberman]

@meccaturbo i think you just made my point..

[meccaturbo]

The only point that was made is that you're an idiot and you have no knowledge of the Police, you dumb diddler.

[meccaturbo]

And with a name like jibberjabberman, it's obvious that you spew useless drivel on the internet.  Retarded moron, that's what you are.

[meccaturbo]

"British" band? Dude, only 2/3 of the Police are British, the other 1/3 is American...

[jibberjabberman]

@meccaturbo ? dont forget who wrote most of the songs

[meccaturbo]

If course I don't forget. They're still not a "british band". 1/3 of the police is american.

[jibberjabberman]

@meccaturbo haha sting IS the band!

[meccaturbo]

he's 1/3 of it, you retard. If it weren't for Stewart's incredible drumming and Andy's guitar, the Police would not be the Police. You can't just replace those two guys with any other musicians and have it sound like the Police.

[OptimusHide]

Don't ask me, only God knows why things are the way they are.

[JoshMufc101]

lol so he is not a loving god then. if he chooses people to be born in places where they won't belive in him.

[OptimusHide]

No, there are people all over the globe who believe in him, so your logic is fail.

[JoshMufc101]

yh and there's people all over the world who believe in allah & budda & there going to hell? so why would god make them be born their

[OptimusHide]

Well God didn't "make" them do anything, just like he didn't make you believe in him. People moved and latched on to their own things, God didn't force people to make up their own "gods" people chose to do so, you know a little thing called "Freewill" check it out!

[OptimusHide]

God isn't real? Based on what evidence, because you say so?? Because you're blind? What exactly?

[chizmo7]

Drummer is American

[chibiqueenie]

beautiful video!!!!!!!!! is one of my favorite bands with the beatles, queen and the rolling stones =D

i'm in love with stewart copeland and andy summers <3

god save the rock!!!!!!!! kisses and huges from Mexico

att: LILI HARRISON DEACON

[DiazdelVivar]

are you daughter of George Harrison???

[chibiqueenie]

hahahaha very funny ehhh?

[DiazdelVivar]

el se caso con una mexicana, todo puede ser no??

[Qequalshappiness]

best british band ever? try best band PERIOD.

[NotOrdinaryInGames]

The first version of the song or Sting's version?

[taylerjmontague]

STINGS VERSION

[NotOrdinaryInGames]

Then how the original one sounds like? You know, the one recorded before Outlandos D'Amor?

[wolfgar2]

This is a version Sting recorded prior to the Ghost in the Machine version. This version appeared on the album Strontium 90/Police Academy which featured some pre-official Police music live and recorded.

[NotOrdinaryInGames]

I have it!!! :)

[AgouraMo]

They are the best. Stewart Copeland is American however.

[Evitochka]

Sting&The Police and U2 are the best!

[bobbystar101]

U2 are a too undistinguished sound they sound like everyone else.

[Evitochka]

A lot of people and critics say U2 is the best rock band of our time.

[bobbystar101]

With those critics i disagree but yea its just opinion really so what I say probably isnt relevant to a lot of people.

[Evitochka]

but there aren't much left. police doesn't exist again.

[Evitochka]

those words aren't mine, though i agree, because they are great and a lot of bands have split

[luidheid]

i would say the second best. first is still the beatles

[bobbystar101]

The third has the be The Wurzels

[cokelalo]

if i like rock.... is for them. thanks the police you are the best forever!!

[StandTogetherForever]

Queen and the police are great

[theclinger]

Stuart does not look good in blond.

The Police- May the band rest in peace while the members live on.

[theclinger]

Never heard this version of the song before... huh.

[WarlordFeyd]

Unfortunately I missed them in this last concert they did May 24th 2008 in Glendale with Elvis Costello but they're still the greatest rock trio I've ever heard, live or otherwise-Mikey (PS: I've got some video on my channel that a girlfriend sent me of the concert this last May so check it out under my favorites!)

[Lucas0518]

dude the police kick ass, ya i agree the best brit band, and 1977 - 08 not 07 i saw them 3 days ago, sting sounds so good for bein like 51, and andy summers is 61 man he can still pound it out, when they are that old and sound like they did in 77 wow ya the best brit band ever!!!! rock on

[Sebastto]

mmm ok,i love the police,they were a great band, a great great band,but the bes british band ever?? no,definately no.

[WarlordFeyd]

The Police had to live up to very high expectations after the previous successes of Beatles, Rolling Stones, The Who, Led Zeppelin, et al.--I think considering what it took to bring them together and then swallowing their overall pride to reunite in 2007 I'd still call them my fave brit band!

[WarlordFeyd]

Jackie, I hope you realize that this is a great compilation/tribute you've made to The Police so whether comments become complimentary or derogatory just remember that your dedication to yourself counts!

[jackie2311]

Thanks! for your kind words

[wshs1b27]

this version is by Strontium 90, the band the trio was in w/ Mike Howlett. You can find the album on itunes for sure, thats where I got it. but other than that I'd assume you can get it else where, but I don't know. nice job!

[luminousgirl8]

Wow great job!

I love the version of Every Little Thing She Does is Magic!

I wonder...where can i get this version.....lol

[messageinabottle79]

It's Strontium 90(police + Mike Howlett). You can find it on iTunes. The name of the album is Police Academy. 2 police songs on their, visions of the night and magic. 3 O' clock will eventually become O my God. There are 3 live songs and 6 studio songs. Mike played the bass, same as Sting!

trev

[brittaamodt]

Wow. I didn't know Strontium 90 played "Every Little Thing." Because the song came out in '81 with GHOST. Wasn't Strontium together about '77 or so?

Cool version of ELTSHDIM.

[bodiezoffa]

Wow, is this some original version of the this song that he wrote during Last Exit or pre-police?

If so, I think Sting's Jazz inclination shows here. He is here as he would become after leaving the police.

[johnneedslove]

sting you won't stand the test of time. someone slap him please. but the first three records you had it g. guess you "grew up" ,....sad. i'm grossed out by him now outside of the first three. eeeeew, punch him someone

[Lucas0518]

shut up, he sounds like he did in 77 lol, i can tel that you havent seen them in concert

[U2fan11]

good job, I like the Stontium 90!

[davlod70]

The Police mania never die!!!! I went to the concert here in Italy and I gone crazy about the 3 guys on the run again. F##k o## the Tokio Hotel

[nbradley318]

Best British Band Ever. Also best not Britsh band ever.

[WarlordFeyd]

My favorite band ever-checkout my channel for added info!

[capricious71]

They're not as good as Led Zeppelin. :)

[nbradley318]

I put Zeppelin in a different category alltogether. Comparing the two would be an apples to oranges sort of thing to me. But, that said, I still prefer apples.

[Gracie1230]

i love this band soo much! :) <3 .

they really are amazing! thanks mate for putting this up! xxx

[jackie2311]

I love them too, thank you for wathching!..

[WarlordFeyd]

[jackie2311]

[jackie2311]

Thank you! u r most kind!

[jackie2311]

Indeed!... Thanks for posting!

[WarlordFeyd]

Not just the best British band (though some Beatles fans would dispute the claim LOL) but one of the greatest bands to ever play internationally worldwide!!--My favorite band ever also-check my channel ;-)

[Langoliers1995]

Great video, mate!

[jackie2311]

Thanks mate!

[jackie2311]

absolutely, and thank you!

[burn4you]

Mark Knopfler is not from Australia. Where do you get that?

[jackie2311]

Oh I do I do... LOVE THEM SO MUCH. Sharing such love maybe we should get married after all !!! Im 42, but who's counting?

[theozzyboi]

lol tht fukin idiot thought pink floyd were aussie and not english

[SpiritsinMatWorld]

The Song's call "Every Little Thing She Does is Magic", from the First band of their, call "Stronium 90". They're Stewart Copeland, Sting, Padovani + Andy Summers.

[mercuryjrc]

Stuff Pink Floyd, the police are the best band in the world ever!

[michanchito]

la mejor banda de rock de3 todos los tiempos The Police

[felixfelicis428]

they broke up while they were on top to retire with leisure. But they got bord i guess lol

[stinkysting]

I like this version of the song can anyone tell me any more about it - when is was recorded etc.

[felixfelicis428]

i thought pink floyd was australian and the police r totally bettr and then the cure and then the beatles

[cokelalo]

exactly,the police the best band of all times!!!

[felixfelicis428]

finally someone gets it. like evryone i talk to is like who the crap are the police and it gets really anoyin.

[theozzyboi]

haha u thought pink floyd were australian

[felixfelicis428]

i dont get how tats funny but the police r bettr much much much much much much much bettr

Pink Floyd sucks

[jackie2311]

You get REAL dude, find some PF videos and post over there , you have no business here!!

[NotAValidUsername]

This is a beautiful slideshow and brought a lump to my throat.

[2kl2klps]

Sting's version of ELTSDIM SUCKS. Otherwise, wonderful memories....

[felixfelicis428]

this version is good. Its just acoustic.

[merrilee53]

Thanks for posting this. I enjoyed it immensely, loved the interviews, pics, background song.

[oscargomezz]

THE BEST BAND EVER EVER EVER EVER EVER EVER. Period! I saw the live in Miami. I waited like 10 years to see them. Thanx

[felixfelicis428]

omg u lucky i wanted t see them soooooooo bad but i couldnt afford a ticket

[marceloper1971]

Legal, uma versão bossa de "Every Little Thing".

[VIUDOJOVEN]

para mi la mejor banda lejos,sin perder el respeto por los beatles.pero personalmente Police es lo máximo,pero,respeto a los que no lo creen asi.the best band police,you´re right.

[cokelalo]

totalmente de acuerdo!!!

[jackie2311]

Estamos de acuerdo!!!

[shore95]

its better than my slide show of them

[EllerySneed]

Wait a sec... the Beatles are the best at being the MOST OVERRATED band of all time! The people who shoot their mouths off about the Beatles know very little about musicianship. If you're comparing these bands by talent, there is no contest the POLICE win by a landslide. Anyone hear Paul McCartney's new dance song... I rest my case. =)

[felixfelicis428]

the police r bettr the beatles r third on my list it goes the police then the cure then the beatles then the psychadelic furs

[jackie2311]

I almos agree with your list... but my second place goes to Beatles, then Dire Starits, then the Cure...

[DanielThalen]

Aren't Dire Straits from Australia? I know Mark Knopler is.

[Evitochka]

Mark Knopfler and Sting come from North England, from cities which are situated on the bank of River Tyne. Mark was born in Newcastle. (I've even read that Sting comes from Newcastle, but actually, he was born in Wallsend)

[Eltroim]

uh.. overrated no. The Beatles appeared in the 60s with 60S MUSIC, 60s STYLE.

As much as i love the police, u cant just discredite the beatles like that.

[EllerySneed]

I can and did and it is of my opinion. I have no respect for John Lennon. The Beatles are COMPLETELY overrated no doubt about it. The Kinks on the other hand... that is a band worth talking about via the 60's.

[DiazdelVivar]

of course you're wrong!!!!!!! How cab you have no respect for John Lennon??? listen to his songs and then make an decent opinion

[EllerySneed]

I HAVE LISTENED TO HIS SONGS. I don't respect the man, he was a complete asshole, don't let your love of his quirky pop songs overshadow the fact he was a douchebag. =)

[EllerySneed]

I'm talking about John Lennon of course, total douchebag. I have nothing bad to say about the Police.

[DiazdelVivar]

douchebag, Lennon?? why?? the guy who killed him, He was an asshole and douchebag... and of course I don't understand him as I don't understand you... The Police and The Beatles made really good true music

[EllerySneed]

Lennon yes,... just cause he was killed didn't change his arrogant attitudes or ideas. The guy was a total douchebag unfortunately. It just goes to show when you think you're God, eventually you'll find out otherwise.

[DiazdelVivar]

he didn't think he was god... he talked about the ideas he believed... peace, love, whatever... who talk about that in these days??

[loucodu]

Best band ever!

[jackie2311]

I did in fact, I m fan of the beatles I own ALL their records.. but compared to the number of records released and the years of stardom POLICE accomplished more in less time...

[zontar69]

umm best british band ever? yah right! maybe you've heard of the beatles

[xensboy]

thanks. lovely for a police fan

[garythegod]

the first version of a song that Sting wrote in 77

[cokelalo]

mmmmmm ok mmmm aahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!!!!!! mejor los stones que a los beatles lo importante que el rock ingles es mejor.

[artekolor]

cokelalo...la mejor....pero despues de los stones...!!! lol :)

[cokelalo]

mis heroes,lejos la mejor banda rock de la historia.

[ollekeapeldoorn]

there can never be too much Sting

[johnnybeane]

Cool

[IndioFreak]

too much Sting... ugh

[georginaelizondo]

Isn´t it British-American band???
