Salut Philip,
The link works but only ads and old politic news.
A bientôt.

search on the website of Radio Monte Carlo, it should be somewhere.

By the way what is the source of what you say : MK about AS not being so relevant ?? many thanks

let people say what they want- the bottom line is that it's happening- any time you walk back into a situation that requires more then smiles and and a quick exit- you're going to be faced w/ a challenge. It's actually a great challenge both musically and historically- a legendary band going back on tour after twenty odd years- new material to boot- and the expectations couldn't be higher- but, let's face it, we wanted this to happen for so long; can't we just embrace the moment ... and Stewart Copeland kicks ass.
just a side: Manu is great on Soul Cages but Stewart Copeland kicks ass; by the way, did I mention that Stewart Copeland kicks ass; That should be the new T-Shirt: Stewart Copeland...kicks ass

Ouch! Can't remember exactly... It was a long time ago, I think in 1988 or 1989 and I have no idea in which magazine it was (I probably still have it, somewhere in the garage!). I don't think it was "Best" or "Rock N'Folk". At that time, there was another magazine which unfortunately didn't last long. But I forgot the name and I'm not sure it was this one.

What I clearly remember is that there was a part in the interview about his role as the new Sting's drummer. That Sting told Manu: "I'm gonna steal you to Peter [Gabriel]". Manu was telling the interviewer even if he liked the job he did with him, he prefered touring with Peter Gabriel and refused to tour with Sting.
He was questionned about The Police. He said he saw them several times, riding his "mobylette" ("moped" in english I believe?) to attend the concerts in Paris. He also added that he prefers what Sting was doing at that time, that it was superior.
Questionned about the fact Andy Summers was playing on the new Sting album (Nothing Like the Sund) he replied something like : "In The Police, and in many other rock bands, all the job was done by the bassist and the drummer". He wasn't impressed at all by Summers and had no consideration for him, that he could have been replaced by any other guitarist in The Police.
It was quite strange because it seemed he really had no respect for him... I remember questionning myself at that time, if he had any argument with summers to speak like that. But I'm not even sure they met in the studio!

This said, it is possible the journalist "arranged" the text and made Manu saying something he never did. Who knows! But I think it was in a serious magazine, so...

A plus !

A magazine where you check the info, you publish only serious authors/reporters and which has a very good editor-in-chief.

(Hmmmm...now it would be really easy to print up an "SC kicks ass shirt"...if Gio wouldn't get mad.

It would be unofficial of course.)

What graphic?

Props from me as well:

And I'm going to add that to the swag thread.

nice, because quite honestly- he does kick a@#

by **Philip** on 22 Mar 2007 19:17

philipc, very kind to trie a discussion. I had never heard about that between MK and AS.
By the way did anyone managed to listen to the interview ? It was really cool.

Anyways,
it really doesn't matter 'cuz the Police are were and always will be a force to be reckoned with, and Sting of all people knows it,
This tour goes way beyond 1 person, or band,
there is sooo much excitement the world over that the 3 Policemen will be swept up like they never have been,
and I predict this positive experience will do more than any previous problems, fights arguments whatever,

cuz as Peter Gabriel sang in "Biko"- you can blow out a candle, but you can't blow out a Fire, once the flames begin to catch, the Wind will take it Higher

Coming along for the ride?

Cheers!
