Hey
Michelle,
What
was that line that Frank n Furter uttered in the Rocky Horror picture
show.....?
Oh
Yeah.....
"Antici....................................................................................................pation"
Hey
try being me for about 20mins. I get to read all about everybody attending all
these shows all over the US and Europe, and not once has the great Land Down
Under been even mentioned in dispatches.
Sheesh
- when are we going to get a look in on the big reunion event.
Sigh!
I'll get back in my box now......
Cheers
from down here!
Yeah,
Stewart. Try being me right now. I wish I felt normal after a 20 minute
shower. The anticipation is truly getting to me and it's just plain ridiculous
that I've allowed myself to get this way.
He's right about we
"not normal" people wanting a different show, but really, we're not stupid,
Sting IS in the band. That's just not his style, and if they do do something
like that, then that's just a cherry on top of the reunion. I'm not expecting
it, but will be pleasantly surprised if Stewart gets his way.
Now I
swore I'd stay off the boards as reading more is just making the insomnia/lack
of appetite worse. I can't even listen to music now and enjoy it! What I
really need is someone to slap me back down to earth--- It's just a band for
goodness sake (ha, it's not working on me, but I'm trying!)
Great
little article, Will, thanks for sending it.

He
may not be able to convince his bandmates, but Police drummer Stewart
Copeland wants "the rules to be completely different" for the reunited trio
at its upcoming Bonnaroo performance, including possible guest appearances
from other artists. The group's first reunion show is Sunday (May 27) in
Vancouver; it will headline Bonnaroo on June 16 in Manchester,
Tenn.
"When the stakes are really high, we always come out of the box
swinging," Copeland said of high-profile gigs like Bonnaroo during a
conference call with journalists today. "Sting and [guitarist] Andy
[Summers] are two guys who just don't back down. The bigger the prize, the
harder they fight."
That said, Copeland is trying to help Sting and
Summers understand that the hardcore Police fans will be coming to more than
one show on the reunion tour, and, as such, will be expecting the set list
to change regularly.
"We've got a fairly rehearsed set," he said.
"[But] those people who bought most of the tickets for most of the shows are
not normal people. They're like the people who bought all the Oysterhead
tickets because of Trey [Anastasio]. Those type of people, I think, buy more
than one show. I'm trying to get that through to my buddies so that we
change it up a little bit."
Copeland admits it will take him awhile
to get used to playing in front of such large crowds. "The kinetic ritual of
it is really startling," he said. "If you're at the focal point of all that
return energy, that kind of makes your heart pump a little faster. It takes
about two hours after the show for your heart rate to return to normal. I
have to stand under a cold shower for 20 minutes before returning to a
normal humanity."
