    I remember a concert of The Police and when Sting was going to start "So lonely", he yelled at the public: "I feel... I feel... I feel.......... So lonely". And you can hear in the background Stuart saying "I wonder why"

      Andy is actually a lot older than the other two... I'd be honored if some Sting fans would take a listen to my acoustic piano & vocal performances of ENGLISHMAN IN NEW YORK and WHY SHOULD I CRY FOR YOU in tribute to the master of lyricism & composition. Live acoustic with no autotune. Peace & stay safe.

    I think Trudy (Sting's wife) said it best. Sting and Stewart are brothers and they fight like brothers. Both are incredibly talented, incredibly driven and incredibly headstrong to get what they want. Knowing this, the question isn't "why did they fight?" but "why they didn't fight more than they did?". I think the answer is they are brothers and they love and respect one another like brothers.

    Sting and Stewart have always been buddies.. Stewart always pushes Sting out of his comfort zone in a playful witty way. And I always see that Sting loves him for it... He is always grinning when around Stewart.. Yes Sting has an ego. but I've never seen Sting angry or mean to anyone. He's just cocky and I don't see anything wrong with that.. people are just salty because Sting went solo.. but he did that because he is a control freak and needs the control to keep him from stressing. Andy is more of the grouchy bear personality wise.. but they all love each other as brothers.. even when they broke up they would still visit each other..

      When Stings Dream of The Blue Turtles came out I was vacationing in London with my mother and sister, and watched on TV as Sting yells "what key is it in" I believe that single rpomotoed was Fortress around your Heart, then he just plays it. Watching Sting like that I knew I had to buy that album and I bought it and still have it. I have half the Police singles, mosty for the B-sides and I even got Landlord for 15UKP some 10-20 years ago from a very small shop in Hanway Street on another visit to London. (now extinct. tim decided to stop in 2012 having had the shop in the same spot since 1979).
      Even having all albums on both cassette and vinyl I still bought the 4CD box set and even won two auctions on eBay to obtain the only two Police albums ever released in prerecorded open reel tape. So when I found the greatest hits Super Audio CD I naturally bought it but that one I do not have a player for.. Why? I buy because I love the music. I bought two LaserDisc videos with Police some years ago and still haven't found a player for them. Perhaps I should add 8-tracks to my collection as well. I did not get to see them on the anniversary tour in 2007/2008 because of work and bad timing. There are songs and versions of them that are not in the box set. it is not the difinitive studio song collection, but we're talking japanese b-sides so you'll be alright with the 4CD box set, if you can find a decent priced copy that is. All the important songs you remember are there.

      You both right on this, they all need each other to find success. In then end all of them 3 were like asking from recognition from others members. I think they do, but in the same time I think singer ego (who is at the same time lyricist, main composer, bassist and really talented singer) can't admit that he did bring a part of genius material, in Police songs, but the most of it.
      Ofc Sting is ultra talented, but what the 2 others bring is unmatched by any other musicians, because its not about being the best bass drummers in the world or best guitarist, it's being the best drummer or guitarist for Stings songs, and on that very matter, they both are unmatched on this exact part.
      Sting made a real good solo career, he made very good songs, but it has not the level of quality than any "hit song" from Police.

      @@Grayham4 Sting was the police. He's proven his talent over the decades "ten Summoner's tales" one of my favorites. Last song "Nothing 'Bout me" tells everything you need to know about him.. Copeland was the founder of the Police and he feels entitled to be #1 and he's jealous of Stings success as he became the face of the Police and Copeland wanted to be the face of the Police. Just my personal opinion.

    Trios are an odd sort of band to be in. In most other bands I've been in, usually quartets, members tend to sort of pair off and hangout in twos. Usually the bass player and drummer tend to hangout together and the singer and lead guitarist hangout together, or some variation on that. Its like everybody's got their buddy in the band who they naturally gravitate towards... But that balance isn't there in a trio, and I've often found that trios tend to end up with two members constantly at each others throats, with one in the middle trying to keep the peace.

    Stewart Copeland , in my humble opinion is the most badass percussionists/drummer of the past 40 years….at least. Nobody in relative modern day holds a candle to his absolute wildfire syncopated rhythms, crazy intricate cymbal and h hat technique. Many bands do have very good, and great drummers, but Stu’s got a lot more abilities than just rockin a beat for a band to play with.
    Andy is legend class as well, but I play horns and drums, so my opinion is for someone more knowledgeable. But all you have to do is listen.
    And Sting. Well, he has one name so that speaks for itself.
