STEWART COPELAND

Ok so which song do you all think that gigantic gong could possibly be used on? Bohemian Rhapsody? Jungle Boogie? Well, yeah, but what what about Police songs?!?!?

My thoughts:

Bring on the Night

Beds Too Big w/o You

Walking on the Moon

Invisible Sun

Secret Journey

Darkness

Synchronicity II

Wrapped Around Your Finger

Tea in the Sahara

I Burn for You

c'mon, this is an easy one. it's for the very last note of Footsteps, before stew makes his way back to the kit.

Walking in Your Footsteps

JUNGLE BOOGIE! JUNGLE BOOGIE! That would be killer.

Otherwise, I vote that the gong is for commentary since SC's mouth will be busy singing.

Der. Don't know why I didn't include the obvious!

Although- I didn't see the percussive set up he used during the Synchronicity tour. I'd assume as well that he'd play it the same way- with mallets on bells and congas, but considering I haven't seen them in any pics or videos so far I'm not so sure.

They DID say they were doing things differently this time.
Perhaps,

<goooooongggggg>

You don't have to put on the red light

<gooooooonggggg>

It's a thought

The gong is kinda Spinal Tap-py, don't ya think? Maybe they are gonna do some "new" music like Stonehenge or Hell Hole.

Rack of percussion goodies makes me happy...MEOW!

Heh, maybe he'd break out a tribute to Bonzo <grin>

Or "Truth Hits Everybody"...just to punctuate how like the truth with be hitting, mimicing the shockwaves...

Truth Hits Everybody
<dong!>
Truth Hits Everone, whoa-hoa
<dong!>

I just couldn't resist making a remark on this one..........I'm going with Spinal Tap's "Big Bottom" with the big honkin' gong!
Didn't Bonzo have some freakin' huge gong that had flames coming off the thing in "The Song Remains The Same"
Police song(s)....hmmm....how about Every Breath?
I'm thinking Walking In Your Footsteps or even Tea In The Sahara.

Side bar: Spent an afternoon up Cypress Bowl (one of our local ski hills) with buddy who had a huge china/crash cymbal that we slid down the hill on! This gong could make an excellent toboggan!

I figured out the whole gong thing......

The gong is on stage to conceal the floating pig!!

Is it true that every time Stewart bangs his gong, a groupie . . . uh, never mind.

"I got a fever, and the only prescription... is more GONG!"

I say Secret Journey... just stick a mic really close, like an inch away from the gong and lightly tap it with a mallet... you'll see what I mean...
