Nice interview! I found the following especially interesting: ____________________________________________________________ ANDY SAID ( IN GUITAR PLAYER MAGAZINE) THE OBVIOUS THING TO DO AT THE END WOULD BE MAKE ANOTHER ALBUM AND THEN TOUR AGAIN. ARE YOU ON BOARD WITH THAT CONCEPT? S.C.: No. AFTER THIS TOUR, THAT'S IT S.C.: Yeah. And really I'm saying that because that's just the mindset. With the Police it's an all-consuming monster. By March, which I think is when we're planning on finishing up, ask me again. But for the moment I am enjoying the prospect of this year because it's just a year. If Sting comes up with new songs and we do an album, check with me on the day that happens. Right now, I'm just looking forward to this year and the fact that it's only a year means that I can enjoy it a lot more. I have a family, I have a life. I'm a composer, I have symphonies to write. I'm really enjoying this drum thing, and I'm enjoying the hell out of playing with Andy and Sting. All this coddling is kind of amusing. Those audiences, well, I don't know yet, but I'm hoping that's going to be a lot of fun too. It's going to be a blast for one year. ____________________________________________________________ Of the three of them, I had always assumed that Stewart was the one who missed the band the most. Probably because, of the three of them, his playing sounds the most like it did back in the day (at least to my ears). Andy, although he clearly holds the band in high regard (read the opening of this article to see what I mean: http://www.scarlet.nl/~gugten/article11.html), has also said that it (pop music) is somewhat dated for him and though it's a part of his career, it doesn't represent what he's doing today. If I remember correctly, he says pretty much that in preface of the Police tracks he demonstrates on his recent DVD (actually a re-release of a mid-90's VHS). - Mitch sockii wrote:
