Even though I like alot of Police music it's ridiculous that SIX THOUSAND ONE HUNDRED AND THREE people have looked at this thread. What the fuck!!!!!!!! They're NOT THAT good. Especially after seeing that crap performance on the Grammy's...Geez.
 
Somebody didn't eat his Wheaties this morning :huh:

I've decided to hold out until the fall to see them. Money is a little tight for me, and I don't want to spend $95 until I know they'll be worth it.

Well, you've helped to make it SIX THOUSAND ONE HUNDRED AND FOUR!!!! Over 10 Thousand looked at the first thread, which flipped the counter. The 4 million+ people who will see this tour, including the 80,500 people in Paris who scooped all the tickets for Stade De France Stadium in under 90 minutes have a different opinion than you on the matter! The tour will outgross U2's Vertigo Tour and would probably be the highest grossing tour in history by early 2008 if the Stones had not decided to extend their never ending "Bigger Bang Tour" this summer. Its projected that the Police tour will gross $400 million dollars by the Spring of 2008!

I just looked at it three times in your honor.

I'm looking forward to The Police almost as much as U2. Two differences though for me. First, U2 tours consistantly, The Police do not and I doubt they will again after this tour. So it does make the whole Police reuniting part exciting. Second, U2 I try to see as many times as I can on each tour. One time should be sufficient for me with The Police. Still, its going to be a great show, I cant wait!

I'd be interested to see who you think is GOOD. I'm sure we would be able to crap on your favorites.

Let's not get our panties in a wad :shifty:

Now stop a second, and let's take a look at this mathematically...

If you notice on average (but not exact), the number of views is approximately 10 times more than the actual posts. That's true for most threads. I like many people will read the thread 10 times before posting a reply. Now that's average since some will be totally into the conversation, that's reply with every view [which could be the same people over and over but in order to see the latest replies you have to refresh the screen and so when you do that it adds another viewer to the counter], and others may not reply at all, just read it.

So what I'm saying is that 6,000+ different people could not have possibly been on here.

His profile says this....

R.E.M., Neil Young, The Who, Billie Holiday, Louis Armstrong, Buck 65, The Gunshy, Drive By Truckers, The Church, Negativland, Beatles

If you read his reply again, it does say that he likes Police's music, it's just that he doesn't think that they are that popular. But I've already explained the Viewer vs. Reply situation. He just doesn't understand how message boards work.

I think he has clearly misunderstood their popularity to a lot of people and the fact they haven't toured in 24 years.
 
OK, for those folks who aren't Police paying members, here's what's on the 2 videos...


On the first video they are practicing Roxanne and Every Little Thing.

On the second video they are practicing Every Breath You Take. Here's what they say while ragging on Andy (no pun intended)........

[They stop in the middle of the song]

Stewart: Did you really play our biggest hit on that white Stratocaster?

Andy: It was played on a red Stratocaster.

Stewart: I should think so.

Andy: Which is being reproduced.

Sting: Well, I'm not, I'm not working then. I can't, I can't work with that white thing.

Andy: It sounds good.

Sting: No. I don't care. It's the wrong color. OK. Have a paint job by tomorrow.


:lmao:

Sorry Andy, I think the guys were right. It does sound a little bit different. There is a bit of difference in the tone.

Well......all righty then.

I'll make sure I put a warning label on it next time that says...

"This post is for everyone to read except for U2Fanatic4ever."


Trust me, they were just banging around and talking music talk...pretty boring for some folks. I just thought the banter between them was the best part and thought I'd share it. I wasn't in any way shape or form trying to torture you.

:huh:

I know you meant well it just came across the wrong way to me.. I don't know how to describe it..

I was being sarcastic by the way.. hence the "sarcastic mode" phrase..

Sorry.. but it is frustrating to me that we non paying members don't have access to that stuff. 100 dollars is just insane to me to pay for membership of any fan club..even if it was U2.. I seriously would not do it..
 
Hershey looks like the place to get good available seats. I can pull up 4 seats together in the 10th row. Not sure I want to drive 2-3 hours each way there though.
 
OK y'all....I don't know if this is true or not, but this story is floating around Police's message board and Stewart's message board, but originated from some nonofficial Sting board. Some are saying it might be an April Fool's joke...so who knows. I haven't seen it anywhere in the news.

Anywho, here it is...........


Sting calls the Police

Sting had to call the real Police today, as his famous fender Precision Jazzbass has been stolen.
According to a hungarian journalist, who was there "by chance", the bass was on airport transit, and was stolen in the luggage arrival in Milan Malpensa airport.
Billy Francis, Sting "right arm", said later to the reporter that a ransom had been asked !
Sting may be very annoyed with this "rapt" as this bass has been following him for years, and as he rehearsed with the Police with this fetish instrument.
Let's hope he will get it back very soon.

I grew up about 10 miles from there. Feel free to PM me for information about the area.

It's interesting--Hershey usually gets quite a few concerts every summer, between the stadium and the smaller amphitheater behind it, but there are only two announced so far. I'm wondering if they used up most of their budget to bring in the Police. It's a shame if they did, because I doubt it will be a sell-out, not when they're also playing Philadelphia.

News!!! And sorry...there will be no U2...oh well...they better be working hard on that new album then!


USA Live Earth Revealed: Tickets for the 7/7/07 Concert to Combat Global Warming Go on Sale April 16...

The Police are among the bands playing at Giant's Stadium, New York on July 7.
Organizers today announced sixteen of the headliners who will perform at the U.S. leg of the 7-continent, 24-hour Live Earth concerts on 7/7/07. The concert will be held at Giants Stadium in New Jersey, Live Earth Founder and Executive Producer Kevin Wall said. Tickets for the show go on sale Monday, April 16 at 10 a.m. EDT.

"Capping Live Earth with a blockbuster show like this will ensure we meet our challenge of building a mass audience to combat global warming," Wall said. "Live Earth will be a monumental event both in terms of entertainment and in turning the tide against global warming."

The global concert on 7/7/07 will begin in Sydney and continue across all 7 continents, concluding with the U.S. show.

"We hope the energy created by Live Earth will jump start a massive public education effort," Live Earth Co-Chair Vice President Al Gore said. "Live Earth will help us reach a tipping point that's needed to move corporations and governments to take decisive action to solve the climate crisis."

The U.S. show will feature live on stage:

Kanye West

Live Earth is a monumental music event that will bring together more than 2 billion people to combat the climate crisis. Live Earth's 24 hours of music across 7 continents will deliver a call to action and the solutions needed to answer the call. Live Earth marks the beginning of a multi-year campaign led by The Alliance for Climate Protection to move individuals, corporations and governments to take action.

Earlier today, Wall announced that the following artists will perform at the London leg of Live Earth at Wembley Stadium:

Beastie Boys

Exclusive online media partner MSN is helping Live Earth reach people in every corner of the globe. The concerts will be streamed live on 7/7/07 at LiveEarth.MSN.com. MSN's 39 localized web portals worldwide attract 465 million monthly users. The concerts will be broadcast on the NBC Network in the U.S. and on more than 120 networks around the world.

Wall also announced that smart car, Stonyfield Farm and Pepsi have joined Live Earth as corporate partners. In addition to working with Live Earth to create corporate efforts to combat global warming, this growing list of partners will help ensure a mass audience for Live Earth is reached. These efforts will be detailed at a later date.

Wall also announced today that Live Earth will stage concerts at Sydney's Aussie Stadium; Rio de Janeiro's Copacabana Beach; Johannesburg's Cradle of Human Kind; Tokyo's Tokyo Stadium and the Steps of the Oriental Pearl Tower in Shanghai.

Live Earth is produced by Control Room, of which Kevin Wall is the CEO. Control Room has produced and distributed more than 60 concerts since its founding in 2005 featuring Beyonce, Madonna, Green Day and the Rolling Stones, among others.
