naah, only sting really wanted to go solo. stewart still says to this day if sting says he wanted to reform the police he'd do it in a heartbeat. i think he saw them like brothers, he fucking hated sting's guts at times especially with his ego (the "fuck sting" fiasco on his cymbals is a prime example, as well as the fights that would break out between them before, during, and after shows) but it was like brothers. brothers fight all the time but you still love your brother, even as you're punching him.Zootlesque said:Anyway, was Sting's ego really the reason for the break-up?

All I can say in reply to that is the one song credited to Andy on Synchronicity was "Mother"... and to each his own, but I find the song to be total shite! Maybe Sting's songs WERE better.
I can't really offer an educated opinion, though - although I loved their music, most of their albums were released before I had much spending money. Sychronicity is the only Police album I ever owned.

macphisto23 said:The Police are awesome, but what do you mean Sting wrote the songs? Did he just come up with the melody? Or did he come up with the guitar riffs, and bass lines etc..? Or what does he do to write the songs?
Personally Sting has some great solo albums,
Soul Cages, Dream of the Blue Turtles , and Nothing Like The Sun, and 1 song off TST- "shape of my heart" everything past that has sucked, his music gets worse and worse every second.
