it's okay, do you like margaritas?

How is life in Mars Ace pilot?

Im seeing them on 19th Oct in Cardiff. This is in my top 3 of their greatest tunes. I don't care that they have no backing band. No keyboards etc. That is fine by me. However if that is how Andy Summers is playing the verse I'm f**cking gutted! Sounds nasty. Also, by the way, I wish someone would get some balls and tell Sting he is not singing kareoke in the Adelphi club. Stop pissing around and sing it properly! I realise it's realistically not going to be the same, but come on now?

I wish they played this in Miami...

Andy's interpreting that keyboard line just fine. This is closer to the reggae feel that The Police are so fond of anyway.

This is a very special group. It's good to see them back on the scene again. Young musicians should take notes.

This is the way the song was originally written. It was to Andy's surprise that he should walk into the studio one day and hear that his guitar part was replaced with keys. I like the keys better, but I was happy to hear a version that may have been very similar to the original version. The Police put on an amazing show. These vids don't represent how well the audio was. It was excellent!

Despite Andy's amazing rendition of a creepy 80's synthesizer, it just doesn't cut it with me. Look, the song had keys in it, period. That's what drives the song is that chugging synth groove which for me, evokes the "spirit" in the song. They should at least have a back-up synth player, I mean the song Synchronicity has that amazing synth frill along w/countless other songs like wrapped around your finger. They (keys) would add dimension.

hey 4 those hu went ws it gr8?. . lyk amazin cus im seein em in twickenham in sept and wna no if im in 4 a gr8 sho!
