It is an exercise in adolescence to compare greats. One is not better than the other. It is simply your opinion that separates them. Besides, why don't I hear anyone saying that Dennis Chambers is the greatest drummer that god ever put breath into? That is, in my humble opinion (which is worth no more than anyone else's!)
As to the Drummer and comments made regarding Vinne Colaiuta, This guy is an artist in his OWN right, but if you had to sum it up it one phrase, his playing, this is what could be said. . . .
It is as if Steve Gadd and Vinnie Colaiuta had a BABY and this guy popped out on a DRUM throne!
It's like saying who is better; Joe Satriani or Steve Vai. Interesting to note though that in the Drummers Voting a few years ago (i think) Best All rounder - Colauita -1 Carlock -2. Not sure what recent results are. I don't care, all fantastic and makes me smile nevertheless.
Does anyone have the "next to you-live clip" from a show in september 2006 with josh freese on drums? Can´t find it anymore...it was amazing. Please put it up again....
The man Sting is a legend on his own merits whether with Police or Solo. If you hear his music in the past 30 yrs one will be able to easily deduce that this man is a living genius. Ive enjoyed his music immensely all throughout his career. I consider myself fortunate to have followed his music through the years and yes it has been thoroughly pleasurable. I'm a die hard fan. Copeland and Summers were talented but the driving force behind the creativity of music and lyrics was mostly Sting.
no, no, no, Sting was suffering fillin theaters as a solo, he had to share the bill w/other strugglin singers to fill amphitheaters. The biggest mistake was recording duos w/that black girl...(french Name). He couldnt find his sound anymore since 1994 and had no choice but to reunite w/his partnes who actually made the sound.
Hi Leute! Habe hier gestern was von dem "Sign Up Code" FUNTIME auf Cakepoker com gelesen und mich erfolgreich registriert! Funktioniert dieser auch woanders und gibt es dort auch den Bonus von 500 Dollar? Bitte um schnelle Hilfe, da ich weiß, dass diese Codes meistens nur kurz gültig sind! Danke, Mark
LOL even after 20 years ppl argue about who "was" the police.
Yes, Sting was the Singer and main Songwriter (especially in the later years) and wrote nearly all of their awesome songs. But that doen't change the fact that all of his solo work is TOTAL CRAP compared to the police.
i think keith plays the best with sting right up there with vinnie. Vinnie was let free to do what he wanted as well where im sure keith had to be the humble kid coming in to pay homage and he did while still being keith. Keith is exciting and thats what sting needs. Manu is great Abe is great but sometimes their sound doesnt fit with sting. i thought keith sounded great with sting. :)
i know he cant be the same man as he was and sing and play in the same style he did in the police in 1983 but it just doesnt do justice to the song, same as those terrible sting reggae versions of spirits in the material world and invisible song, just dont go there
you're pretty hard to please if you dont think this performance is good. he recorded this originally about 20 years ago and his voice is identical to what it was then.
Policegirl & Paramchi- these are the kinda comments i'd expect on Pat Metheny's website-very high, intellectual conversations. I wonder if POLLSTAR is B.S.'n everyone about a possible Police reunion? Sting has always insisted a big fat no. And speaking of Stewart Copeland- he did a couple of CD's w/ Stanley Clarke & a female vocalist named Deborah Holland- they called it Animal Logic!
Picture The Police with a different drummer...still sort of works. Picture The Police with a different guitar player...sort of works. Now picture The Police with a different songwriter/singer/bass player...DOESN'T WORK!
What did Andy and Stewart contribute? "Is that my mother on the phone?" and "Ms, Gradenko"??? Is that music?? It was an act of charity for Sting to allow that noise to be included on a Police record.
Is anybody alive in here? What kind of nonsense is that? And that stupid inflatable sex toy song...would you be my girl...what was Sting thinking - allowing that rubbish to be on his records? STING WAS THE POLICE AND YOU ARE THE IDIOT BECAUSE I NEVER GOT PERSONAL UNTIL YOU DID. Goodnight. Thuggette.
What do you think Sting-their dad or what?! He didn't have to "allow" Andy and Stewart to put some songs of their own in albums... And it isn't "his records"! THEY ARE POLICE! A group! In a group there are usually more than one people.
What do you don't understand?!
P.S I think,I'm not the only one who likes that song.
Paramchi I assume you are not a musician hence your fucking retard comment.
The Police would not be the police without Copland. You are telling me that if the drummer for Bon Jovi played with Sting the end result would be the grooves you have on Roxxane? Or even this song?
Uh...if I am an idiot, then what are you? Huh? Steward Copeland would be nothing but a barrel-hitting thug if it wasn't for Sting who WROTE ROXANNE! If it wasn't for Sting, Roxanne would be NOTHING BUT DRUMS! WHAT DO YOU SAY TO THAT MISTER SMARTY-PANTS? HUH???
Talk about one of the most vapid comments I have seen here on Youtube.
You know I read your comment a few times and all I can do is laugh. It's like you speak German and you are trying to talk to me in English but you use all the wrong words because you don't quite know what they mean.
I am Sting and I love looking at myself. I just told that to the press to paint a picture of humility. It's like a storefront. I'm running a hardware store here and I have to have a nice storefront!
Sting always acted like a spoiled brat,let's wait for the new documentary to unfold many personalities....the best Sting solo work is Nothing like the Sun...
Yes that true stewart is alright but a little dumb when he was younger, and andy was a waste of space sting can leave a band that was not going to evolve and thats what was going to happen. The police met their climax because one band member(sting) was the entire brains of the operation. I hate people that like the police and not sting so they blame it on sting blah blah WITHOUT STING there is no police. So everyone woud rather have a kiss band that plays 30 year old songs and does nothing new
Oh,that's just bulshit.All of them were(and still are) very good musicians,Stings is not the only talented. And most certanly-he was NOT the brains of band. No way. Stewart created the band,for your information. So,this means-no Stewart-no Police. Andy has also to do lot with "Every breath you take" and "Message in the bottle",where you can really hear his guitar.
Yes,I like Police,but not Sting. He was the one why this is perfect group broke up,not Andy and not Stewart.
Who composed ALL The Police's greatest hits?? Sting. I think that if anyone had the right to break up the band, it was him. Moreover, the results of Sting's solo career are too good to wish he hadn't started it. So let us enjoy what this amazing musician has still to show us. Great song by the way.
Bah, maybe The Police should have packed it in, but maybe two albums later, even if they peaked after Synchronicity. Look at it this way: The 'Mats peaked with Let It Be and Husker Du peaked with Flip Your Wig, but both bands each put out two amazing albums afterward. (The 'Mats, of course, went on to make two more horrendous albums.) You get my drift here.
Couldn't agree more. Although Syncronicity would be hard to top, it would have been nice to see where the band would have gone in the following years. I do find it hard to complain about the music Sting has made since the Police though.
" love this song " great clip ... !
