Same old debate...I'm sure we all would love to see the band live again, we would of course see what most of the people won't be able to see and just got the 'surface' of all of that....with our 'Police/Sting/Andy/Stewart' knowledge, probably we would recognize all those 'little' things, we would breath the 'culture' of wat they did in the past....something that most of the critics probably won't see...you should consider that many media critics were just ten years old on the early Eighties, they didn't 'live' their times...fans could come back in time and get some culture just by taking part of forums, talking with other fans, understanding something that people working as journalist or media contacts in general couldn't get, reporting then something that would need much more 'culture' as I said. You also have to consider that a reunion tour is not only about 'fans', but is mainly about the 'guys' in the band and you know how important for an artist is to 'read' about what he does in the newspaper, read what critics write...this is a heavy heavy heavy responsability, it's not easy to 'survive' to such ignorant feedback you may have, and I can tell you that a reunion of THE POLICE could bring a flood of responses....I'm not sure Sting would be that happy to read something like 'ok, this is the Sting we want', or maybe 'what? The Police? They were big in the past, this is just a shadow of what they did'...or similar... As an artist you can just tell everybody 'fuck you, I do what I like and that's it'....but it's not even easy to say that... My opinion.

I'll take the tour! I've been saying it for years, and I'll say it again... Stewart and Andy can certainly play as great as ever but I don't think Sting has the material to make a strong Police album. I know I'm offending a lot of Sting fans when I say these things but he's just grown too middle of the road for me. I'll always prefer the fire of "young Sting" to what I now refer to as "Easy Listening Sting". A Police live show, however? I'm there!
