Sting?

[Quark]

So I'll mark you all down as "maybe" to watch his set then, yes?

One year at Glastonbury I returned to the tent after a long painful visit to the long drops the morning after a spicy fish curry.

Told Mrs Woffy my anus felt like it was on fire.

She said "ring sting".

To this day I have no idea how he could've helped.

Maybe he could have sung King of Pain.

I'm happy enough to go against the grain here and say I'd be chuffed if Sting played, would be awesome, The Police were class and have class tunes, place would be packed and singing away to every song. 

Message In A Bottle, Can't Stand Losing, Roxanne, Every Breath You Take, Walking On The Moon, Fields Of Gold, De Do Do Do De Da Da Da, I Hung My Head, Every Little Thing She Does Is Magic, So Lonely. 

That alone would blow the roof off.

 

Tbh, I might go. And....I wouldn't go to Maca ?

 

I blame my parents taste in music entirely for the above comment

Such a shame Sting became so hammy, and his voice is grating regardless. Some of the early Police stuff is pretty rocking. Great musicians. But its all been thrown into the "Sting" bucket of history.  He was a cracking bass player and Summers and Copeland were two of the best to ever do it.

I’m not saying Sting’s output is soft, but his reunion band are called The PCSO’s.

I'd happily see Sting. I'm hoping he plays.

[hfuhruhurr]

A few thousand of us, off our tits, singing Roxanne Eddie Murphy style.

[Watergirl]

I’d be happy with that. Would much prefer Sting to a pop diva or a rapper.

I’m up for that. A drunken walking on the moon dance ,  sounds good to me

For the love of all that is right and proper, fuck Sting. 

[Losing my hair]

Whoever would have thought that Sting would be as divisive as Stormzy.

I blame our mums, they're bound to know who sting is as well. 

I wouldn't mind a set if it was more police stuff than solo, but only if nowt else taking my fancy at the time.

His missus has to do that for hours on end

I could see Sting on the line up but not as a headliner. More like mid afternoon such as Paul Weller played

When did Weller play mid afternoon?

[Beerqueen]

I'm another one that would be there.  I know he's a tit now but I loved him back in the day.  But yeah would rather have full Police line up.

[Trout Mask Replica]

At the risk of going against the grain here I reckon an hour teatime slot for him on Pyramid would do nicely. 

A handful of his solo hits, a bunch of Police tunes. Yeah, actually I'd have a bit of that.

2007, slightly later than the old memory recalls....3rd top of the bill on the Pyramid on the Saturday. I remember waiting expectantly for any Jam songs....Think all we go was Modern World?, the final song of the set

I saw him around the same time at V.  I remember standing in the rain, I was cold, miserable and I said to him "play some Jam songs or I'm going to go".  He didn't.  So I did.

That is exactly how I felt. I waited and waited and waited on that cold miserable day and got one Jam song from my hero at the last. He felt he was moving on...I felt cheated ?

The funny thing is that now I actually think Paul Weller is great as a solo artist, really soulful, great vocals.  Now I would probably like his solo stuff.  But I would still prefer a proper Jam singalong.  Bouncing along to Down in the Tube Station at Midnight, Town Called Malice, Going Underground, Eton Rifles - perfect!

[H.M.V]

Nobody is arguing about a Police lineup. To be fair most would be well up for a bit of that. 

But it's the Sting thread so can we please let Woffstar and Kali get back to their just darling puns.
