Well done A&E
by Jeremy . 24 Nov '01

24 Nov '01

Hey Folks, I must commend A&E for what they captured from their week in Tuscany. So much of that show was what I really wanted to see, lots of relevent commentary, lots of nice rehearsals and pre-shop clips, not too much creedence given to the horrible part of the day, and a nice edit of the concert. I am not sure if the people at A&E were specifically fans before that, but as a long time fan, I think they did a wondeful job well done A&E Jer _________________________________________________________________ Get your FREE download of MSN Explorer at http://explorer.msn.com/intl.asp

A&E from Maggie
by Bill White 24 Nov '01

24 Nov '01

Trying this from home....sometimes it doesn't work. The A&E behind the scenes stuff is spectacular. Don't miss it! Janice Pendarvis is my new hero. You'll see why at the end of the behind the scenes portion. Don't want to spoil too much, but you'll see several songs from the Sept. 10 dress rehearsal that didn't make it on the CD or webcast. Hey, I love both Stewart and Sting, and even better together! (with a little Andy thrown in - no that's not a comment about his height!) There are so few of us around any more (I've learned lately just how large some fan groups are - U2, Dave Mathews, etc). Let's just all agree to disagree and go listen to our favorite album - WHICHEVER one that may be. Maggie Who is once again very happy that her husband really wanted a satelite dish. I can watch on east coast time!

ENOUGH ALREADY ! Please take this offline guys.

It's not like he is sequencing every song. Like the Police, he uses it on selective songs. I hope you are aware there is sequenced music on Oyeterhead's album as well. The background music on the web site is looped sequenced music! Sting's latest album is a live album, his first in 15 bloody years... and instead of taking the easy route out of releasing one of the numerous shows they recorded, he gave us something much better with new arrangements.

Re: [Police] Favorite Sting Drummers
by Jeremy . 24 Nov '01

24 Nov '01

Hello Mate, As a drummer myself, who grew up inspired by Stewarts drumming, I would say that for originality, I would choose Stu First. 1) Stewart Copeland - originality wins him first place 2) Abe Laborial Jnr - Most of you will not have seen him play with Sting yet, but the man is amazing to listen too. He seems to have the chops for all styles, and seems to have a much stronger grasp on the BND material than Manu has after a whole tour. 3) Vinne - I personally love Vinnie's playing, much for the same reasons as Abe's. I think most players would struggle to pick Vinnie or Abe out of a recording that they didnt know who was playing. I would not say that either of them have a distinctive sound, just very solid players. 4. Omar - The man clearly has a talent, and probably has more raw talent than most players on this list, but he didnt feel that connected tothe music as the others did. 5. On the NLTS tour, both Jean Pual Ciccarelli and JT Lewis were both pretty decent, but nothing amazing. 5.1. I dont have Manu on the list, but the only reason that I dont is that I found his playing with Sting to be very plain, restrained and he struggles to play certain styles. I am not sure the reason for this, because if you listen to Peter Gabriels Secret World Live Concert, I though his playing was for the most part wonderful, both Solsbury Hill and Across the River were standout for me. Someone earlir commented on Manu always using the click track, this isnt his fault, this is just so that he can stay aligned with the constant use of sequencers on the bnd tour, he can hardly be faulted for this.

DTS question
by BBredice＠aol.com 23 Nov '01

23 Nov '01

I know you need a special receiver with 5.1 and the extra speakers and all that to truly experience the DTS version of the Every Breath You Take cd, but do you need a special cd player, or will any one on the market, or my 10 year old one for that matter do just fine?
