>=====Fabricio and Trini Obviously you guys aren't real musicians. Understand that Stewart has not played with Andy and Sting in 17 years; he goes to New York and has a distinct feeling in the back of his mind while he is there that this may be the last time he will play with his band. Therefore if he plays with so much emotion and puts too many fills in on such a simple song as EBYT I think the man not only has class and charisma but shows the world that he loves playing drums, being in the Police and jamming with the two people he made history. When you two had made history as Stewart did, then you can talk about playing with too much emotion. Otherwise don't make such crass remarks

Police article in GUITAR WORLD

Hi everyone here's the monthly link without any HOF connection: the April issue of the US magazine Guitar World has a long article about THE POLICE in it. It's about the '86 recordings and the struggle within the group at that time. Very interesting. Some nice photos, too. Dietmar

HoF
by Sweetmomb＠cs.com 18 Mar '03

18 Mar '03

Just a quick note about the actual HoF -- I was in Cleveland the day before the ceremony and they had all of ONE shirt that listed the 2003 inductees, in microscopic print, along with every other inductee to date. It was an ugly (imho) blue on blue. That was ALL they had, merchandise-wise. However, the display of recordings by the inductees was all in one little corner, but the Police had their own free-standing cardboard display rack in front of the other CD's! Also, no one has mentioned that VH-1 showed little teasers of the Police at every commercial break, regardless of who was being inducted at the time! And then to cut Message... well, it is truly unconscionable! I tried to go to the URL for VH-1 mail, and the site was shut down! I'll be going to their general site shortly to add my voice to most of yours! Keep the posts coming! I agree with the lister who said that the list was livelier than it had been in years and it's GREAT!!!!!! Holly

You people do not get it. First, the snare did break on EBYT but that song came after R and MIAB. He broke the snare on the 3rd song. Since he was excited to reform after so many years he played with such passion that the snare broke. Why is it that there are only a few who do not get this? This was the first and last time that they will play!! They also got into the Hall of Fame and if it had happened to me I would have played with the same intensity! I guess that if you are not a drummer you will never get it and before I start to get more emails about how Stewart was so bad because he broke a snare (<A HREF="mailto:FABRICIO_SILVA@NYMC.EDU">FABRICIO_SILVA(a)NYMC.EDU</A>) remember that this was the third song and that the first two were very intense for the drums. I guess if you do not play the drums, you will never get it. Happy St. Patrick's day, Sean

Does anyone have a .wav file of when Sting says at the end of a show "Thanks for coming, thanks for listening, we'll see you again"?

RIGHT ON TRINI! I DON'T WANT TO TAKE ANYTHING AWAY FROM STEW BECAUSE I CONSIDER HIM IN THE LEAGUE OF PEART, VAN HALEN, AND BONHAM, BUT THE TRUTH MUST BE TOLD. HE LET HIS EMOTIONS OVERRIDE THE NEEDS OF THE SONG. -----Original Message----- From: Trini [mailto:snsv@yahoo.com] Sent: Monday, March 17, 2003 8:32 PM To: Rhythmatist17(a)aol.com; police(a)mailman.xmission.com Subject: Re: [Police] Way to Go Stew It really is a blessing Sting does not hire drummers that break snare drums during Every Breath. It is also a testimony as to why Sting should no longer be in a band. Anyone knowing a bit about music understands that there are times you play in the pocket, allowing the song to breath instead of being an individualist distraction. Stewart was great during Roxanne but he overplayed on Every Breath so much so that he fucked up his snare. Andy was great on both songs! Rhythmatist17(a)aol.com wrote: SOMEDUDE, you are probably the smartest "dude" around. Stewart Copeland is not only the BEST FUCKING DRUMMER OF ALL TIME, he is still kind of a kid at heart. He looked like he was having the time of his life playing with those two, meanwhile "King of Shitheads", aka Sting, looked like he had somewhere else he wanted to be. Stewart gets to play with the likes of Trey Anastasio and Les Claypool letting a whole new generation realize the genius of his drumming. All sorts of new drummers, Taylor Hawkins and Chad Smith have listed Stewart and their biggest influence. SOMEDUDE you are totally right, Way to go Stew!!!!!! _______________________________________________ Police mailing list Police(a)mailman.xmission.com http://mailman.xmission.com/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/police _____ Do you Yahoo!?
