i grew up with the police, i hope they sounded better on stage, they sound shit, here on youtube, i know they can sound a hell of a lot better, bad sinc, i think is here, awful, download, not happy
i love the english language. jamaicans happen to speak it the best. nice ring to it. blessed jamaica. blessed aficans offboard upbroad. whatever . yo. our roots. trace 98 % of our dna.. it goes back to africa. this is where we come from. thank you sting. for embracing reggae.
Andy Summers is way more underrated than Stewart, any day. Everyone clearly knows how great Copeland is. But Andy Summer's use of minimalism in their music couldn't properly express how amazing he really is/was while Stewart just killin it throughout most of the songs.
Andy Summers is like Alex Lifeson--they're both great and so underrated. They're overshadowed by singing bass players and drummers who are all phenomenal. But both guitarists are every bit as important and part of their respective bands' sounds.
I don't know anything about drums; I didn't when I was 8 and I started listening to my dad's tape of Regatta De Blanc on my 80s yellow walkman. But I noticed Stewart's drumming. Even as a kid, I'd follow what he was doing, and noticed that it was creative, different to the "thud, thud" of other drummers. I know a lot of drummers now who say that Stewart Copeland is a great drummer, but I think that the amount of non-drummers who rate him and crucially notice him, is true testament to his talent.
@OhYouNastyMan u r right man.. i also know nothing about drums.. but one thing i did notice is that copeland play different kind of beat.. no one else play the drums like he did.. for this reason alone i rate him as the greatest drummer.. i dont care what everybody else had to say..
I love how much low end is in this version, SICK! You can really hear the rhythm section of Sting's bass and of course Stewie's tight beats, esp. that thunderous kick drum
Even near the end I really don't think they hated each other as much as people say they did. Sure there was tension, but all the fighting was about how the music should be played, nothing personal at all
i don't know if you are being sarcastic, I'm aware of the date in this vid, but the best moment of The Police were in the 80's. .. well at least for me
lucky was only able to see them twice but I still got to see them play bring on the night and they only played it less than 20 times on the reunion tour
@ottov65 I know what you mean I went to 11 shows!!! 2007 Hartford,CT 7/31 MSG 8/3, 10/31, 11/2 Boston, 11/11 2008 Honolulu, HI 2/16,17 Holmdel, NJ 8/3 Jones Beach, LI 8/4,5 MSG-Finale 8/7. What shows did you go to?
Which drummers have you known? I wouldn't say he is the greatest because I believe there will never be a "greatest" drummer in the world, but I do think he is worthy to be considered a god.
@Bossk89 Without a doubt the dude has the speed, skills and eyes to fucking know ahead atime what hes about to do before STING even knows. what agent, what a gent! powerhouse drummer to me. Hes pay attention man, he pays the fuck attention.
yes sir! if they still made bands like this i might get up and go to a show..but until then?? take a hint everyone, loud and not perfect is the best live gig....
I love that sound from Andy Summer he play very well.
