Not many bands back in the day played like they did ‼️ the Police were a phenomenal band , with a winning formula , fantastic drummer and guitarist, amazing vocals from a gorgeous singing bass player songwriter frontman . They hit the ground running . Brilliant band ❤

If a band - like The Police - sound better in concert than they do in the studio - that means they're talented !!

I remember driving to the Hartford Civic Center on the interstate and about a half mile out from the downtown exit were a couple of guys holding "I need Police concert tickets" signs for that night's concert. WTF? I had planned to buy a couple of tickets at the civic center from a scalper. Oh no, I wasn't missing this concert. Got my tickets. Paid dearly for them, lol.

What a truly original beat. When have you ever and since heard a beat like this in popular music? Muted snare, bass drum on the two and four. Reverb all over the kit. Very cool sound

@mancuniancandidatem Жыл бұрын

Stewart has described the similarities between Reggae and a rhythm Ballide (don't know how to spell it) that he was exposed to growing up in Beirut. The muted snare and high tuned Tom accents definitely have a middle Eastern hand drum vibe going on.

Like or hate sting , he wAs the face ,sex appeal, songwriter, singer. Frontman and to say otherwise shows your maturity level and musical intelligence.

gdub454 Stewart had his style for sure ! However the legendary studio drummer Vinnie colaiuta has some similarities with Stewart in their playing , both are very polyrhythmic drummers . It's no surprise Vinnie has been stings drummer for years on tour . Vinnie was frank Zappa's favorite drummer

backthan i was 11 years and the biggest police fan of all times. and as they entered the stage it was like birthday, x mas and making love all in one. this was a great concert- powerfull, experimental, harmonic, and all three in best conditions.back in those days something miraculous like this band just could happen, cause our minds/souls were still in the right places and not "translated" into digital grip of a puplic authority wich is designed by headfucked nobodies/nerds, at least ourselfs!!!
