Sting's new video...

Yea, that would be absolutely great, but....I fear you're right, what with Copeland doing the Oysterhead thing.

I saw an interview he did and he said that the whole idea about the Police getting back together is now out of his head. He seems very satisfied working with Claypool and Anastasio - who wouldn't!

But yes, hope springs eternal. One day maybe.....

 

I think it's Sting's passive-aggressive way of signaling to the other members that he wants to get back together. I don't think Andy would mind; his musical tastes and Sting's seem to be converging. Most of the animosity in the band was between Sting and Stewart, so that relationship has to be approached delicately...hence the T-shirt.

 

The latter I think, at least that's the vibe that I got from the interviews on the "Police Live" video that came out a few years ago. Though they do get along better now, particularly Sting and Summers, as Sting has made many appearances on Summers' fantastic jazz albums over the years, both singing and playing bass.

 

man...i love that version of "Round Midnight" on Summer's album...is it Green Chimneys?

 

I think if anything happens, Summers will have to be the person that brings it together. He has played with Stewart fairly recently, and had Sting on his CD.

[I put this here because sting is technically a bassist...

And a damn good one at that, IMO. While it would be nice to hear the outcome of a reunion, I'm enjoying Sting's solo work immensely and so if it doesn't happen it's no biggie to me.

I would be far more excited to see Sting team up with various other artist on various collaborations.

Of course no one would sign them! No one would sign U2, The Police, Madonna, Paul Simon, Elton John, Mozart, Beethoven, etc. either!

 

sting looks funny when he plays

 

...and your point is?

 

He looks even funnier when he's not playing. Ever see that bit he does when he folds his hands across his chest and tucks his hands into his armpits?

Odd.
