@jacksonbiscuit I don't think he does on the record, but I know there is some live vid out there of him playing various songs on fretless.... It's just not nice that he does that! :-)

@sonicfrogdotnet doesn't he play a fretless bass too lol? I'm trying to improve my chops by learning and singing Police bass, and it's tough as hell!

@sonicfrogdotnet Sting is by far the sexiest bassist I've EVER known...hot damn!

Andy Summers is one of the most underrated guitar players of rock n roll. The greatest Minimalist guitar player in my opinion. He plays nothing more or less than what is exactly needed for a particular phrase. If he needs to play fill in with a lot of notes, he does it. If the phrase calls for long, bended notes, he does it, and perfectly. The Police sound like there are a lot more instruments than a 3-piece band, and Andy is responsible for that. Synthesizer, horns? No, that's Andy on guitar.

Life in fast-forward (at 2:32). The other day, I heard this young cat say, "Maybe God should clobber the earth with a fastball from outer space, and wipe out humanity, and then give it all back to the Thunder Lizards -- they didn't screw each over for a percentage." Frustration -- people -- frustration. "Yeah,'" I told him, "'life used to hold much promise -- much optimism. That was pretty much how life was in the early 1960s."

Where in hell did most of the money go that was slated for Haiti (following the earthquake of Jan. 12, 2010)? Talk about "too many cameras and not enough food" (or shelter, or medicine, et al). Where is the UN in situation such as that?

I'm a bass player, and just as a bassist, Sting gets great respect within the bass community. He is deceptively good. Yes, the bass line is pretty repetitive...But that is not the whole of it. Try playing this line and singing the lyrics at the same time... Nightmarish!!!!! It is DAMNED Hard not to trip up on the bass line while sing these disjointed lyrics. So many of his songs are like that!
PS. I'm doing a Police Tribute band, and this is one of my greatest challenges!
