Hey folks....but is there still a respect for such
a great band? Do we still have respect for the word THE POLICE?
I mean, it was an obvious joke from Toni....c'mon,
do you really believe there will be a tour of 80 dates or more??? Ok, if it will
happen, I will be the first to say that Sting probably got 'stung' by an animal
with letal drugs to change the mind of a human being...how stupid would be Sting
to do something like that?
For what I have understood in years of following
The Police, I would never think of a sillier move...another Police tour? Why
disintegrating such a wonderful story the band still respect?
One of the best move The Police did was to
'abandon' the group at that time, why should they ruin everything now? I know
there will be something special, I even know when the word will be official (but
I promised not to spread because there is no need now to spread something
unofficial), and I am totally shocked about 'the war of news' floating
around.
I do perfectly understand Stingus.net in trying to
give the news first, Karel is a good friend and he always gave precise
information about Sting before everyone else, even if in this occasion I would
be veeeeeery careful as we got a different issue....The Police is a 'slightly' different story...too many parties involved
got to find an agreement; Karel at Stingus.net got the right sources but the
problem is the project may change from one minute to the other until it will be
confirmed; I'm sure he will be one of the first to give the real news when it
will be the right time.
At the same time, all the news coming from whoever
are just doing the 'label' game....have you ever listened the word 'propaganda'?
A&M will release a great The Police box this year, as well as Around The
Word dvd (and I knew there would be a cd singles box set but it's not confirmed
yet)...all those 'news' about the Police are bringing the name again on every
newspaper, radios, magazine and webzines....what a 'free publicity for
A&M'....when the dvd will be released everybody will already know about
it...everyone will already have The Police name in mind...this is
called MARKETING...and we're all working for free for A&M in this
case....see how this list 'woke up' in a minute...if this list was a little
'sleeping' lately (and we are all die-hard fans), was the main public thinking
about The Police? The answer is NO; there are no books about The Police around,
the name of The Police was just about having the usual catalogue titles on the
shelves of the record stores, and when Sting tours, newspaper writes that Sting
was a member of The Police, that's all.
Said that, I'm glad the name is BIG again; Stewart
movie was a great move coming from his heart, and this lead Sting management to
open a door, due to the good response of the critics; there is a 'wonderful'
excuse this year to have Sting back on stage with Stewart and Andy, and
that's the 30th annyversary; I see the whole story as:
- Sting would love to be on stage with The Police,
but his career, his name and his ego do not allow him to do something that
the critics would name as nostalgia or even worst 'be back with The Police as
Sting's career falling down'; Sting is enough intellingent not to leave
them say something like this;
- Sting can come back on stage
with The Police only if there is a reason (an excuse I would say, and I do
perfectly understand it) that can avoid what said before, so that the medias
cannot pretend to say it's nostalgia or any other
reason;
- Hall Of Fame and 30 Anniversary are the perfect
'excuses'.
This is just my opinion; I sincerely don't know
what will happen, if they will tour, if they won't tour, if they will do a
special event...I know nothing...I just know when I will know but no more than
that.
Thanks for all your messages including my name, I
do really appreciate.
Ciao ciao
Giovanni
