4:10 Drums are getting a beating. lol
@kpl1228 never knew that
@Snotra better band live. REAL.
@tomsega EPIC FAIL.
the Police sounded fucking real.
I love Andy… but he cant sing at all the chorus on this song
Check all of your Old grey history…this was a 3 piece band…only the Jam come close…this was a new sound created by old combinations. We wait for the next Police, The Cure….The Jam.
si, el bataco era una bestia para darle a los parches, pese a que sting era el compositor de casi todo el material y todo eso, el sonido de police no sería único sin la genialidad del batero
When the Police were real….
@tomsega Lol…. I cant help agreeing….sort of raw sound I guess…. but yes, in comparison with ealier stuff by Focus, Captain Beefheart etc does sound a bit rough…
Have to say, if you listen to the other groups that come up when you search for The Old Grey Whistle Test, The Police sound like a small pub band.
Shit.
@raelraven2 Sting has just as much right as they do even though he’s not completely punk. The only reason he’s wearing those glasses is because he burned his eyes with hairspray.
They have some great hits but I never liked that reggae vibe from the music. But, overall I have to give it a thumbs up.
Good studio band, but otherwise….whateva!
Thank you, for keeping it.
This is a great song, but Sting posing as a punk rocker is a joke.
@erikinhawaii.Oh I do agree with you on that comment. S Copeland is a drumming master and king. Good call.
I’ve had The Police
Grew up with these guys, would be lost without em!

I am the face.
i was just a year and a few months old at this time. I really wish i was born earlier. The Police were such a great band (I later bought “synchronicity” in the late 80′s)
@3MC4 hey I wake up in the morning and put my pants on just like everyone else; one leg at a time. But what I do need is more cowbell…
@zacandtaylorrule Why ´haha´? They ARE nice B)
@erikinhawaii you solved it
