  7. Have you heard his death metal version of "I'm a Pink Toothbrush"? Pretty hardcore.

    Went to see REM at the Rose Bowl Hampshire cricket ground. The first and only concert before the venue were moaned off the map by the locals. ( but I think an REM concert from a distance can sound like a rich American moaning too) Michael Stipe retired shortly after.

  10. Saw a bit of an interview years ago. He said he was embarrassed when they asked about The Police.
     
  11. Maybe it’s just because I don’t like him :thinking:

  12. He's a good lad and an immensely talented fellow (still) :thumbsup:

    I'd imagine he gets extremely bored when folk ask him about a band he was in 30 years ago.

    Shouldn't really get bored about the thing that gave you the fame in the first place.

    Zed Gradually getting grumpier

    Maybe, but he's embarrassingly egotistical. Have you seen the interview with a chap he bounces ideas off? i.e. nicks his ideas? The poor fellow is almost bowing and scraping to Stings amazing genius (barf). Truly cringeworthy but one has to conclude this is a required part of working with Sting.

  15. I think you may be fantasising. You certainly won't be getting a Christmas card from Mr Sumner this year.

    Of course he’s egotistical. That’s why front men become front men :D

  17. I saw them in 1985 supporting U2, you only knew they were playing a new song because every 2 minutes it was "1, 2, 3, 4!"

    Suffice to say they were brilliant:thumbsup:

  18. Indeed. Needs a but of gumption to stand up the front. Not a job for wallflowers.

    At least he's moved on over the years, unlike many, who really should be on a nice Saga holiday.

    I can’t think of any specifically. I’m trying to see bands I like before their members die off. Glad I saw Fleetwood Mac a few years ago before my fave Christine McVie died. Sadly I didn’t get to see the Rolling Stones with Charlie Watts but saw the rest last year after he’d died.
