[Politics] Sting

[dejavuatbtn]

I think Ray Davies is a fair bit more talented than him.

Indeed. IMO Ray Davies is one of the greatest songwriters and social lyricists we have ever had. Shame not more people today are aware of his talent.

Loved the Police and liked his early solo stuff. However, there's just something about his demeanor that irks. Below is a recent brilliant interview but it's only great because the interview intelligently draws the stuff out of Sting who looks really bored at first.

Just an aside - this interviewer Rick Beato has a great YouTube channel where he (amongst other things) intricately reviews songs, breaking them into their component parts and showing "what makes this song great".

 

[Green Cross Code Man]

Sting being interviewed by the Stotts is still the greatest interview ever.

Thanks for that, haven't seen that before, my wife and I are in stitches!

 

[Icy Gull]

Imagine a long haul flight with Sting sitting on one side of you and Bono on the other

 

[BN9 BHA]

Heads up,it's Sting night on BBC2 right now, celebrating one of if not the greatest musician to come out of the UK.

Probably another of your “how many can I catch threads” but I wouldn’t put Sting in my top ten greatest UK musicians.

 

[The Clamp]

Imagine a long haul flight with Sting sitting on one side of you and Bono on the other

Between a rockstar and a mard face.

Love this.

 

[Worried Man Blues]

First couple of Police albums great then slow decline, Sting pah!

 

[GREASED WEASEL]

I'd pay for a down grade

 

[BLOCK F]

Don’t like Sting’s music and never have done. In fact if he comes on the car radio, I change stations.
But, heyho each to their own. My sister in law loves him.

 

[WATFORD zero]

I always remember when the Police were playing, him and Stewart Copeland were always fighting and I put it down to the fact that Stewart Copeland was a spoilt loud American.

Nothing could be further from the truth, it was Sting that was the up himself ****

Yes, can’t imagine him putting up with Lennon and McCartney like Harrison did for all those years.

Yes I subscribe to it which was why I knew about this interview. It's very interesting whatever your taste in music and even for a terrible guitar player like me

 

[Lyndhurst 14]

I had the misfortune of seeing a play with Trudy Styler in it, pretty obvious that she only got the part because she was Sting's missus

 

[zefarelly]

Sting . . . 4th best member of the Police.

 

[KZNSeagull]

Gordon

is a moron

I'm sure if they read NSC and love The Beatles...

Anyhoo,

From the dew-soaked hedge creeps a crawly caterpillar

Or

De do do do de da da da is all I want to say to you

Hmmm. Ray or Sting, Sting or Ray, who is the better social lyricist?

 

[Tyrone Biggums]

Absolutely.

In vaguely unrelated news, there’s a bogan playing for the England rugby team, Biggums, what gives?

[Harry Wilson's tackle]

Talented yes but in my view certainly not in the top 5 most talented musicians to come from the UK.

Apparently he & his wife are also known to be extremely tight , taking the lightbulbs out from a multi million pound house they sold a few years ago in London .

A friend of mine met him a few years back in the Bahamas and said he was shitehouse.

Corrected for you

Decision, decisions.
