Members I stink at bass Posted June 1, 2005 Members Posted June 1, 2005 I was a HUGE Police fan back in the 80's, but this performance by Sting SUCKS! Sting
Members NeonVomit Posted June 1, 2005 Members Posted June 1, 2005 He sucks so much that he doesn't even support Firefox
Members Mudbass Posted June 1, 2005 Members Posted June 1, 2005 {censored}, I ain't installing no AOL Media Player just to so I can see Sting suck.

Believe me................you aren't missing anything. He's not in tune or in beat. One of the worst performances I've ever seen by an established musician.

Members I stink at bass Posted June 1, 2005 Author Members Posted June 1, 2005 Personally, I LOVE AOL. I've been a member since 1994, and I've NEVER had an compatibility issue. Plus, when you own a small business, you get a corporate access plan, which is unbeatable.
Members Jonny Five Posted June 1, 2005 Members Posted June 1, 2005 Originally posted by King Kashue No, he cannot be forgiven...This single performance firmly establishes that he sucks in every possible way... Moreso than lug?
Members King Kashue Posted June 1, 2005 Members Posted June 1, 2005 Originally posted by Jonny Five Moreso than lug? You're new here, so I'll chalk your blasphemy up to inexperience... No, none suck more than Lug...In fact, it is the sole duty of an entire team of physicists at NASA to attempt to quantify Lug's suck, since the only thing in the universe that even approaches Lug's suck are black holes (and even they pale in comparison)...
Members no-logic Posted June 1, 2005 Members Posted June 1, 2005 Sting sucks......al the way to the bank.
Members shelbass Posted June 1, 2005 Members Posted June 1, 2005 Henry Rollins has always had a very low opinion of him.

I can't stand his style. The other day, I picked up his signature p bass in my local guitar store and it sounded like utter {censored}e. It was muddy, it had terrible electrical hum, and it wasn't that comfortable to play.

AOL drivers are notorious for taking over a PC, they replace waaaaaaaaaay too many default drivers. Ask any IT person how many PCs they had to fix because AOL drivers caused the system to crash all the time and break applications. Now AOL writes to your boot sector. That's a no-no, off limits, cardinal sin - NO ONE should mess with the boot sector just to install applications. Turbotax did this a couple of years ago and there was a mass exodus of customers.

They are bastages that should be busted down a peg or two.
Members timmerz Posted June 1, 2005 Members Posted June 1, 2005 No, Sting doesn't suck. I'm not sure what video you guys are referring to, since I also will not be downloading a proprietary player just to watch one video, but I've seen Sting in all of his metamorpheses, and I admire him all the way. A consumate musician.
Members B-Bottom Posted June 1, 2005 Members Posted June 1, 2005 I put Sting and the Police up there with U2 as another musician(s) that I just don't understand how they got popular, and continue to be so. Even Brian Peppers agrees
Members tdempsey Posted June 1, 2005 Members Posted June 1, 2005 you're entitled to your opinion, but you are wrong last year i saw sting & annie lennox, and dubbed it the best concert I've ever seen (before it was even over) and i've seen many greats. he is a true star, renaissance man - and no, I'm not loading some dopey AOL video viewer just for this.

Originally posted by basshunter, and you all better listen up this time dammit!!!!!!!! I feel I need to clarify. Trust me, EVERYTHING is worng with lug's playing. He is the King Of Suck. The briefest of exposures to his MP3s has been known to turn animals off their feed, cause grown men to weep like new-borns, is suspected to have effected the mortality rates of the armadillo, and has left mikgag with a turkey baster permanently lodged in his brain. Heed the warning, do NOT listen to lug's playing...You have been warned.
Members beam Posted June 1, 2005 Members Posted June 1, 2005 I'm at work, and this machine is getting re-imaged soon anyhow, so I installed the plug-in His playing seemed to be off on purpose. It just sounded out-of-phase with the song. Liked the tone though.
Members nicebigstrings Posted June 1, 2005 Members Posted June 1, 2005 Yeah, I'll be passing on this. I'll never infect another machine with AOL. Well maybe the man was having an off night or whoever recorded it was out to lunch, but I'll never take "Sting sucks" as a definitive statement. I'll go with Sting sucks THESE days. His solo material pales in comparison to the Police. I gave him up for dead years ago when he started strumming a nylon string acoustic and had someone else do the bass playing. But those five Police albums have stood he test of time, all of them were brilliant creations. Too bad about the blow and the egos, there was still alot of potential in that band. The other thing that bugs me is that the Police worked with so much space and sparseness in their music and I love that reductivist approach, but Sting has lost all that. Now his tunes are thick with many instruments and arranged to within an inch of their life. 'Walking on the Moon' was a long time ago it seems. Pity. He's bigger than ever and plays the Oscars every year, but he's a spent force IMO.
