Ahhh... the Sting we all know and love.

without me going on a rampage on Sting, seriously, does Sting really mean all this crap? How horrible it was to be with Andy and Stewart? How there is no chance in hell that he would reunite with them EVER again? I mean he has done this what a zillion times over the past 25 years

Can someone tell me please? a serious answer?

I want a bite of Mick's apple

what a shitbag hypocrite... no energy? fuck you sting... your rigid, unchanging setlist, coreographed audience banter and click tracks might have had just a little to do with that, don't you think? you can't own both sides of an argument, you creatively dried up piece of garbage.

Not very classy Sting-o!!! Hope he was referring to himself as without energy or key in the lack of motivation to create new music. Everyone who saw the reunion tour knows that Stewart had the energy of a supernova every night that far outshone the likes of Sting or drummers half his age. I think he was taken back that most of the recent A&E interview at Red Rocks was about The Police. Confirms in my mind that he thinks of the band as an "asset" to leverage for financial gain. Anyone else bored of Sting dissing the band that helped make him famous?

We should start a Police fan club called "Enthusiastic Consumers of The Asset"

We need a "like" button here on SC.net. In lieu of that, I "fan" razorboy!!

That's so funny, Nance... too much time on Facebook! I was looking for the like button too at RB's post

haha... i sort of lost it when reading that article this morning. i'd sort of reverted back to lurker status on the boards after the police thing wound down... i was worn down after battling sting people on the police boards, dealing with the unreasonable types who won't abide criticism of him no matter how much of a wank he is.

i just don't understand why he feels the need to trash the tour/the band/whatever. he was all to happy to walk away from it, so do it and shut up. better yet, create something NEW of WORTH... but we all know that isn't happening. i was a big fan of sting's after the police, but i think anyone with critical faculities and a functioning brain realizes that his last complete creative statement was the soul cages way back in '91. ever since then, he's been riding the gravy train, writing from his pocketbook rather than his heart or brain. his creative choices have been pretty "inspiring": victoria's secret exclusive CD, appearing onstage with the backstreet boys, cameo on ally mcbeal... i could go on and on. his solo career has declined... his last true solo record (sacred love) wasn't good, and touring it relegated him to the smaller hall circuit.

referring to the police as an "asset" makes me sick... makes me wish i could withdraw the thousands i spent to to thicken his wallet. he used the band to re-establish his place in the market, and now is touring again on the back of his past glories. still no new music, nothing left to say. pathetic.

as much as i had grown to dislike sting over the years, i felt like we were even-steven after tourzilla... he did me a solid by letting me see my favorite band again, allowing andy and stewart the opportunity to do what they do best again, but he's right back to scumbag status with me. what a cynical exercise... he had no intention of creating anything new with the band, and then to slam the reunion for that very reason is lower than low. he strung fans and band members along, never totally ruling out doing something new, knowing full well that fans and the band wanted it. he's a cold, calculating businessman with no soul and no barrel left to scrape. and he can fuck right off.

Sting is a manipulator. I want to know if Stewart and Andy will keep saying sweet things about him. I guess now they are feeling a bad taste in their mouths. I'm feeling cheated by the whole ThePolice.com thing. Enjoy the filthy richness, mortal.

WEll, I won't add the these rants that I very much "like". But after watching my boyfriends newly arrived 'Rush-Beyond Lighted Stage' DVD/extras w/ him last night, these statements of Sting's really do exacerbate his petty self-centeredness in contrast to three other guys who stood by each other in the face of various stylistic permutations, and during awful personal tragedy and circumstance.
Kinda' also has me understanding AndyS's tight-lippedness. I mean,to have such talents on the guitar and as a composer your ownself, but then consistently also have these adolescent statements/tantrums become what is most loudly reported.......
