retrorod Posted September 10, 2011 Share Posted September 10, 2011 I realise his talent and respect it. But, he is not my 'cup of tea'... That being said, I did not listen to the video..(it may sound good to me)...but I did not listen. Rod Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MapleManiac Posted September 10, 2011 Share Posted September 10, 2011 So boring. Sting needs to remember he got famous singing like a girl about a hooker. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BT Bob Posted September 10, 2011 Share Posted September 10, 2011 Sting needs to remember he got famous singing like a girl about a hooker. He's not the first, and won't be the last. Also, he's never been one to stand still - not afraid to try different things. Admittedly they don't always come off. Have to admit to being a fan - I was of The Police (especially live) and have been of Sting since they split. The early stuff is, IMO, outstanding. I've seen him a couple of time live and been more than impressed on both occasions. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BigKahune Posted September 10, 2011 Share Posted September 10, 2011 . Nice rendition of Shape of My Heart. Sting has a huge global fan base, including me. B) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
E-minor7 Posted September 10, 2011 Share Posted September 10, 2011 My younger brother always kept me close to the Police/Sting U2 fires. And I like both acts alright. This particular Sting tune however, is among my favorites. I find it absolutely eminent. Very well crafted and still rolling easy as a mountain stream. The 'hotel-room version' here lifts it up. Amazing what this little parlour guitar can do in the hands of excellent Dominic Miller – Ian Anderson knew for years. Sweet Child in Time – A black shining cornerstone in early '70ties rock (which means rock as a whole)*. They stole it from the Californian band It's Beautiful Day, , , did you know that. . . And did you 'musical ears' out there ever notice the similarity between Child in Time and the Police song Walking on The Moon. Funny coincidence – same notes, different phrasing. *I admit to be among the 100.000's that sat stoned on the floor in the multi-colored lights of the teenage temples, totally blown away by tracks like this. People became gods and saints in these situations – some flew to Saturn and Mars, a few never came back – others simply went insane. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

zombywoof Posted September 11, 2011 Share Posted September 11, 2011 Ever time I hear Sting or Bono this tribute to Don Henley comes to mind. If I recall both get a mention in the recorded version. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

retrorod Posted September 12, 2011 Share Posted September 12, 2011 Sting is a 'Whiner' singer and besides that a 'mediocre' bass player! He has NO PURPOSE on a Gibson acoustic forum.....NONE at ALL... IMHO....OF COURSE... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vincentw Posted September 12, 2011 Share Posted September 12, 2011 not much love for Sting here. I don't hear him pushing his voice the way Bono does. Bono could hit these notes at 7am. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
