Oh wow, Mike. How lucky for you. I would love to see him, them, each of them alone in an intimate environment like that. Have this feeling we won't have that chance for another 20 years when the frenzy dies down again! I hope you're able to get there too!

Andys HOF sound
by David Lucky 05 Jan '07

05 Jan '07

Andys book stopped at 1983 basically - after the Shea gig. I wanted more and at the book signing I went to he said he would see how it went to see if he would write more like a follow up edition for paperbook which might include more. He also mentioned perhaps voicing a audiobook version which I thought would be really cool too. Who knows though. David

Re: Andy's guitar sound from the HOF show
by omaha perez 05 Jan '07

05 Jan '07

I remember at the time, the lucky few who got into the show said that the guitar sounded even worse in person... it was suggested that Andy overdubbed the guitar for the telecast. Didn't Andy go missing right before they were supposed to hit the stage also? I suspect he may have had a couple too many drinks that night. He could normally play those songs in his sleep.

During rehearsal, Andy didn't sound "raw." They sounded like The Police. Then during the live show, Andy drifted and did his own thing. Then the harsh unPolice-like sound was compounded by the addition of "vocal" guests. ----- Original Message ----- From: police-bounces+fredberthelot=earthlink.net(a)mailman.xmission.com <police-bounces+fredberthelot=earthlink.net(a)mailman.xmission.com> To: police(a)mailman.xmission.com <police(a)mailman.xmission.com> Sent: Fri Jan 05 10:45:14 2007 Subject: Re: [Police] follow up the 1st few times i saw/heard the HOF session, I too was disappointed by andy's "sound". but i have learned to live with it - to the point that i actually like it now. i mean, think about it...he had no affects to manipulate...foot petals or any of that. so he was really playing "raw"... --- Tara and Bruce <tara.bruce(a)rogers.com> wrote: > I thought Andy's guitar sounded strange too.... > > Bruce in TO > > > ----- Original Message ----- > From: "David Lucky" <dlucky711(a)yahoo.com> > To: <police(a)mailman.xmission.com> > Sent: Friday, January 05, 2007 9:56 AM > Subject: [Police] follow up > > > > > > The potential news is exciting indeed.

The potential news is exciting indeed. So much more stuff has happened lately between the DVD, books etc. that it seems to be building. It seems to me when the Police got together for that HOF gig there was no build and no hype and it was kind of a letdown to me. Nobody even knew about it hardly. And VH1 didnt even show all the shongs they played - cut some of it! - and didnt hype it hardly which made me wonder whats up with that. Are the Police popularity waning in a big way or what. Speaking of the HOF gig and I love Andy but - is it just me or did Andy's guitar sound horrible. I was befuddled by the murky sound. Did anyone else listen to this or was it just me... I am assuming it was just a bad set up at the HOF and wouldnt normally happend but found it odd. David

Facts About The Police
by David 05 Jan '07

05 Jan '07

Here's one more: My grilfriend doesn't believe me when I tell her that The Police were the first -worldwide- supergroup. The Beatles really just ruled the US and Britain. So, I wondered if anyone knew any facts that put the Police up there as one of the most influential bands in history. It's my understanding that The Police were only the 2nd band to sell out Shea Stadium, after The Beatles. Is this true? Thanks! David [Man in a Suitcase]

More to fuel the flames

This was noted over at AUI this morning. Apparently Stingus.net had a brief message posted (overnight) stating: > From Stingus.net: > We received a 100% confirmation that the reunion tour will go ahead. > About 80 shows are planned, and full details are to be announced soon. > The UK and the USA are on the tourlist, with most likely other > countries to follow. > Source: StingUs of course! This was quickly removed. to be replaced with > From Stingus.net: > Some of you have noticed that we removed some hot news in the last few > hours. To clarify: this was upon specific request of the record > companies, not because it was not true. 0_0 I'm almost ready to believe... sockii

MESSAGE IN A BOTTLE (NEW CLASSIC ROCK MIX)

I know this is from the release "Every Breath You Take - The Classics"" I never bought it however as I could never hear the difference between this and the original. It's been a few years so maybe my recollection is fuzzy. Can anyone tell me the difference? Ross
