"Don't stand... Don't stand so... Don't stand so close to
me!!!! Don't stand... Don't stand so... Don't stand so close
to me!!!!"

For any Police fans here, have you ever really payed close
attention to Stings bass playing? I think it's fantastic
personally... like on Every Breath You Take, the bass makes
the song for me... simple, but very effective playing it
is...

yeah his bass playing was pretty cool but Andy Summers
haunting guitars and Stewart Copeland amazing syncopated
rhythms were an equally essentail ingredient..without
them..you have well..Sting..most of whose last decade's
worth of stuff..sucks crap through a straw..

Do you people also hate PUFF DADDY for taking advantage of
some one dieing and making a STUPID remix about it, and on
top of that make money in the end! arrgghhh!! You ruined
the police song.

I HATE STING!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
i hate his whiney voice, i hate his mediocre bass playing
(could you actually add some bass to your bass playing) and
his stupid lyrics that smack of a lack of talent....

MESSAGE IN A BOTTLE! MESSAGE IN A BOTTLE!!!!

yeah, I remember driving with my brother one time, and he
had the police playing, and I thought the lyrics were quite
lame... but I kinda like them now... they're quirky...

sting's lyrics have always sucked.. and still suck.. but
he's a good musician.. I went to see him lvie.. and he put
quite a good show.. with a lot of great musicians.

The bassline from Walking on the moon is class. They had
some great pop songs. I just wish Sting would now fuck off
and die.

the police were cool... the way they mixed in reggae and
stuff was cool... I still think some of Stings solo stuff is
great... so come on, bring on the bashing!!! :)

'Fields of Barley' is classy
IMO and I saw them on TOTP live and they were very good

"Mother" off Synchronicity is the worst song ever recorded.

It breaks the album even more then Ventolin does.

Police was always sort of calculated and cynical, Sting knew
what he was doing, taking bits from punk, reggae, and "new
wave" style... but was a decent pop songwriter. Sting was
talented, but his ego went way, way, way out of control, ate
him up...his solo stuff is unlistenable IMO... at least his
acting career dies

at first i thought Sting was lame in Dune, but then i
realized that was prob exactly what Lynch wanted, a way too
cool looking/acting arrogant person with absolutely no
substance or sincerity = Sting
