Actual police because that horrible dick Sting isn't one of them.

the band police is way better than actual police

also sting is pretty dope

hey is that jimmy mcnulty in the second video he looks different

do you think stewart copeland has ever said, "yeah, i was a police..."??

Sorry man, I just hate the way the dude sings and I hate his bastard face as well.

That fascist pig in the second clip should have his fat ass fired. I've never seen a fat cop like that over here.

I've never seen a fat cop like that over here.

max is so balearic lately

the band police is way better than actual police nothing.

i voted police the band.

best songs as a band
When The World Is Running Down, You Make The Best Of What's Still Around
Voices Inside My Head

best thing they've done not as band = the 2 Eberhard Schoener albums. Video Magic & Video Flashback

haha that video was the big hot topic on all the local radio shows this morning, didn't actually see it until just now.

Voices Inside My Head is the only song that I really enjoy by them.

really the question of this poll is: which is more boring, hating sting or hating cops

afaic, hating sting/the police is PLAYYYYED

hating cops will never be not awesome though

max is ruling this thread so hard i love it

seriously though, the day youre like "wow i hate the cops LESS than i hate sting" is the day youre old and should just kill yourself

!!!(IRONY ALERT OLD PEOPLE)!!!

holy shit that video

i forgot what its like to have cops talk to you like that

I got thrown down by a SWAT team once!

well, ok it was small town cops in body armor

that video really made me wish youtube had been around in high school

my friend martin has like 16 videos of cops yelling at us for biking or skating

last time i took ecstasy i was in vegas and i took too much and was barfing every few minutes. any stimulus that was too strong made me barf. lights, smells, sounds. and this is vegas, so everything was too much stimuli. there was a video on loop in one of the casinos and it was playing a live sting concert. every time i heard it, i barfed.

It's true! I can't deny it. But, still I hold on to the hate I HAVE HATED STING AND THE POLICE SINCE 1978. Plus, I am old.

my friend martin has like 16 videos of cops yelling at us for biking or skating

all made last week.

someone photoshop a STOP SNITCHIN' shirt as STOP STINGIN'

Oh fuck I can't even watch that Bmore vid. That is upsetting.

Some cops yelled at @@ron and me like that last summer, for having our bikes down by the river. I was like "Srsly? I am a real person and a grown-up. You are a retard." But it's amazing, all they need to do is decide you're not a person and POOF you aren't one.

I got thrown down by a SWAT team once!

well, ok it was small town cops in body armor

THESE cops > Stewart Copeland

I think I was actually laughing as we rode out, b/c the escalation of threat went from 0-60 with no provocation and it was obviously a retarded put-on.

I have a pretty high degree of sympathy for most police and 2/3 of The Police

H88888 SPEED TRAPS

the band police is way better than actual police nothing

^^^^ top answer

(only slightly edging out the cars)

that cars answer was awful

i'd like to slug rick o'cassik (im not even going to google to find out how to spell it)!

but i'd rather bash sting about the head and nards with one of his fucking lutes....yeah, cun't, noones thought of using lutes before

dude are you scottish

my answer to this question would be complicated, i fear mockery

no no, go ahead

stewart copeland > actual police

actual police > andy summers > sting

i guess it's not that complicated

you like oysterhead, is what youre saying

i like 33% of oysterhead

Sister Double Happiness covering Dicks Hate The Police:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rbVUmiq86FY

can i ask a serious question? what exactly did sting do to engender so much hatred?

i mean i dont like love the guy but wtf is wrong with him? is he killing hip hop or something?

Dont Call Me De Dude Dude Dude De Dah Dah Dah

i just hate his fucking fat face

he wouldn't fucking cum that one time i jerked him off for money

dood que maybe youre thinking of someone else?? sting isnt fat, he does sex yoga and shit.

he refused to do sex yoga that one time i tried to jerk him off for money

sub-o'riordan lyrics, smug self-satisfaction without consistent/obvious sense of humor about himself, those AWFUL harmonies, etc

yeah what 69 said, esp. the sense of humor

he will turn your face to alabaster

lol the best part of that video at the end win the cop is that camera on if i find my self on yout...

lol not noticing that the kid 7 feet to your left is filming until its too late

hating sting is like hating bono

Fields of gold was awesome on vh1 before elementary school

i'll take bono any day over sting. this sounds like a job for a poll.

Sting wrote a vicious letter to the Voice once, enraged that they preferred "fucking Hasil Adkins" to him.

also he released a documentary film circa his first solo album showing his child being born.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4rk78eCIx4E

I don't prescribe to this point of view

bono is so much more hateable than sting

they could not take his pride.

I have a theory that people under 30 hate Sting because they didn't hear The Police first.

LOL I AM OVER 30

I am still under 30 by a bit

im under 30 and i dont hate sting

like the Police
fuck tha police

what the hell you guys, when did it turn to old home days around here. that fat b-more cop has since been suspended (according to the internet), fwiw. watching that video actually made my face go red; i hate u cops

Sting wrote a vicious letter to the Voice once, enraged that they preferred "fucking Hasil Adkins" to him

my favorite voice letter along w/the guy who wrote of pazz & jop "why don't they change the name to Asshole City and elect chuck eddy mayor"

http://bling47.com/images/products/101/FTP.jpg

when did it turn to old home days around here

so otm

were should i start w/sting's solo joints?

Bring On the Night double live album (seriously)

10 summoner's tales is the one that combines total fake-renaissance cheese with good solid songwriting and not-horrible arrangement the best

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rxXXQIVv-tM

oh c'mon max

do you guys just not get stoned anymore or what

you get stoned and listen to sting?????????

and it feels GREAT

shit ive entered the zone where i can no longer figure out if im being ironic or not. i do listen to sting when im high.

you're high right now aren't you? you're fucking high and listening to sting.

not yet! but the day is young

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-bxRewGi77k

(dont like this one as much as fields of gold)

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=x0dMBqtGtOU

^^
totally classic balearic, needs a studio remake (video also will make you want to hate sting)

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=doYNBHE8Yes

the lyrics tell a story!!!

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jQQax5AofV8

awful song but AMAZONG video for lols

you are high and googling and youtubeing the shit out of sting

i like the police album i have w/synths. i think its ghosts in the machine? "spirits in the material world" is my jam.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=l8XHnKSfjTs

obviously this is a total classic

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=q45sg06K4yI

que i am trying to win you over but you refuse to EMBRACE STING

p.s. i love stewart copeland too

Arthur Koestler's reaction to the album is said to have been muted. He knew little about the burgeoning New Wave scene, and said in an interview with the Paris Review (compiled later on in Writers At Work vol. Seven):

“Look at this. Did you ever see a magazine called the New Musical Express? It turns out there is a pop group called The Police — I don't know why they are called that, presumably to distinguish them from the punks — and they've made an album of my essay The Ghost in the Machine. I didn't know anything about it until my clipping agency sent me a review of the record.

in 5/4

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=56Y-qZQ_DTk

this song was basically written for radio stations called "magic" or "the wave"

(lol as though every sting song isnt)

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jNzK28eCdc8

^^^ great sting facial expressions on this

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5Mr_dth5jio

(great hip thrusting in that one too)

i like this max kid

i was already in favor of the police, but after this thread, i'm a total sting fan, thank you

he's way better than this sting

http://celebslam.buzznet.com/wp-content/uploads/2007/11/jerry-seinfeld-bee-movie.jpg

max, do you like the Blue Nile? wifee always asks me if i'm listening to sting when i listen to them

ok, that Bryan Adams, Rod Stewart, Sting was fucking gawdawful

lawl did you ever see the three musketeers movie that song is from?

checkin out blue nile stuff on youtube right now and digging it

I'm ahead of you mate, 45yrs this March and even though I was a 'Punk' and into the clash, pistols, buzzcocks etc. The Blue Nile have always had a special place above all. I'm sure my 4 and 2 year olds will be dancing around to them as well. Cheers James

just found Walk on Rooftops on a blog http://www.megaupload.com/?d=FN99CPME
sooo good.

and here's Hats http://www.megaupload.com/?d=EOCJ4W8H

you are a beautiful man jaxon!

brimstone & treacle

jax where u find those? i need pswrd

pass: http://jacyk70.blogspot.com

thx for the blue nile tip jax i am hella digging this--p-gabriel meets talk talk style quasi religious blunted hyperemotional OTT electronic madness.

i like sting alot too.

i knew youd have my back dood

Man all you hatas is mental! Max is wise you should listen to him!

'englishman in new york' is the shit

brimstone & treacle

love that soundtrack.

especially how "i burn for you" turns into a jam in the second half. the echo effect on stewart is awesome.

i just love the way englishman in ny has that one section where it jumps from sub-Sade Sting smooth 80s groove to jazz breakdown to 'Microphone Fiend'-style drumbreak and back

the first couple paragraphs to the lyrics for San Francisco Waitress by Eberhard Shoenberg sung by Sting are weirdly relevant to my life:

San Francisco*, July 27**
A 40 year-old accountant had lost his bid to collect 38 dollars in damages from a cocktail waitress
Who broke a date with him

Judge Richard Figoney ruled yesterday in small claims court against Tom Hosley
Who sought the money from Alison***

* where i live
** my birthday
*** wife's name

http://www.lyrics.de/songtext/eberhardaeschoenerj/sanaefranciscoaewaitressg_49a7f.html

the song is coming from inside yr life

max, have to ask. have you listened to solo david sylvian?

http://www.cnn.com/2008/CRIME/02/20/meth.ecstasy/index.html

I CANT FIND ANY

all i have heard is his track w/ ryuichi sakamoto, i think

"bamboo" i think its called hold on

"bamboo music" http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zabLaWq4pvU

sounds like a pretty similar vibe tho. i sent "rags to riches" to my girlfriend and she sent me an email back saying "you WOULD like this you fruit"

i guess sylvain and sakamoto have done more stuff together than that

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=x1YkHJJi-tc&feature=related

all this stuff feels like when you youre sort of drunk smoke a little bit and drink some cough syrup and are sort of cruising around in a semi-mystical kind of "oh wow" state

actually its all too emotional to just be stoned, its like when you do that while you are "going through some shit" too

i guess my being into this is sort of the logical conclusion of my dad being a huge peter gabriel fan

--- > IPPU DO < ---

anyone heard the Robert Fripp, Andy Summers album(s)? worth picking up? think they're usually cheap

the fripp/summers stuff ive heard is OK, my dad loves it but ive never been enough into it to pursue

Guy on platform playing 'roxanne' lady next to me sez 'gotta love new York!'. I do! I do!

Now on train she telling her date bout me 'I said that and she started laughin and I was like you go girl!'

Automatic thread bump. This poll is closing tomorrow.

more of a success than i ever dreamed

Automatic thread bump. This poll's results are now in.

seems my irrational hatred of sting got us nowhere here...

dudes is anyone else going to the Police / Elvis Costello concert?

I hope my legs don't break
