well,
I was born in 1966..
so my first connection with the Police was when I was 13...
I remember to see Sting on German tv with Eberhard Schoener...
I´d like his voice but I didn´t like the music he made as that time...
then everybody told me about the Police...
I was a Beatles/Rolling Stones fan at that time...
that means I wasn´t very excited about any new bands... LOL
but I had to hear the Police records...
and it was still magic...
it was the first time I ever began to listen to the drums...guitar,
and to the bass... and how it was all connected...
I began to collect all of their vinyls at that time...
After they split up I felt bad...
their music was a part of my life...
I bought Sting´s albums as a substitute...
and he made some good work I think...
but he never had the same power and energy like he had with Andy and Stewart...
it´s the same like the Beatles...
Lennon / Harrison /McCartney were never as good alone as they were together...
a band is more than it´s members...
