Headline: Sting is Stung by Police!
Sting is stingy.
If they ever lose their faith in Sting
He played in Neil sedakas traveling band. He was making good money, Neil wanted him To stay instead of joining with stewart and sting.
It was rough going until they started making money..
Stewart's brother was their manager.. that didn't help with reactions, but he never really said anything good bad about him.
As for sting and stewart...
the book opens with them in their own hotel rooms, delivered by helicopter and barely being able to look at each other.. their biggest stadium gig of their lives..
and yes, he does say sting would re arrange songs after the recording, or make a recording and tell them what to play.
If you listen to Stewart play on songs like " everything she does" he is just rushing thru the song. He is quoted as saying, he went into the studio and was told to play along.. he heard the song once and seriously I qoute " i said fck it and just wanted to get out of there, laid it in one take".
sting is ver6 charismatic, stewrat saw that, he didn't know sting was overly controlling, didn't let them.or wouldn't record their songs, and would re arrange songs after every one went home or re record after everyone left.. Andy is a phenomenal guitar player, he can play anything, stewart never plays a drum part the exact way twice. Both are top world players.
Good post. I’m going to get the book.
I never understood the fascination with The Police. Songs like A doo doo doo a da da da and SOS. And Sting always seemed like a self righteous piece of dung. So I hope those two rake him over the coals.

If he’s really that bad, perhaps the three best words that best describe him are as follows, and I quote: Sting! Stang! Stung!
The Repeats
Just imagine, Sting is getting money for writing a song that goes, de do do do, de da da da is all I want to say to you.
Don’t stand so close to me.
I saw them along with some other bands at a stadium in 1982. It was called The Police Picnic. Overall excellent show.
Is Sting still wearing lens-less glasses so he’ll look smart?
Don’t share, hold onto it and take it to heaven with you. Jesus loves unshared blessings.
In the end, they are material minded spirits in a material world...
Taking their own advice ..when the world is running down you make the best of what’s still around.
