No discredit to Sting. He was more than talented enough to have a great career by himself as we've seen. So talented. Voice, while playing intricate baselines, and incredible songwriting. But his ego couldn't handle that Copeland was better at his instrument than he was at anything he did. Summers was probably his equal. The most underrated guitarist of all time. It's a disgrace actually. Summers knowledge of music surpasses most if not all. Such a shame. The Police. These three were pure magic together.

First things first: I absolutely adore Stewart Copeland's drumming. Have done so through all the decades that I've known The Police. But whenever I look at the comments section of basically every single Police video here on KZbin I get the feeling that the majority of people are almost compulsively heaping praise on the man. And rightly so, that fella deserves the praise, don't get me wrong.. But so many people are very often ignoring Sting's and Summers' contribution to the band. I mean, think of Sting whatever you want but he wrote almost all of the songs they ever recorded (and I absolutely love Stewart's songs, especially on Reggatta), his bass lines are essential to the songs and his voice is, well, the voice of The Police. Without the amazing soundscapes Andy Summers created with his guitar, The Police wouldn't have been The Police. Not as we know and love them. Between the three of them they made this band, egos clashing and all. True, Copeland formed the band and had the good sense to get that bass playing and singing fella from Newcastle involved in it. So there's that. But once again: it was the three of them that created the inimitable energy and creative force that was The Police. Take one single guy out of the equation and you're left with nothing. At least not with The Police. Appreciate the contribution of each of them. Only together they were The Police. Only together they were one.

This was a brief reunion for the Amnesty International concert, after The Police had broken up in 1984. There was hope of a sixth studio album, but Stewart Copeland broke his collarbone, so it was shelved. Instead the band would not do anything of significance for another 20 years until announcing their 2007-2008 Reunion World Tour. I thankfully got to see them play in sold out show in Atlantic City on November 4th, 2007. Having grown up listening to their music but never seeing them live. This was an awesome experience.

What Copeland does with his left hand is really awesome: those sick sidestick strokes and his powerful traditional grip technique. Simply amazing.

I love the police. Admittedly i love the greatest hits record that came out in the 90s. Greatest Hits is the second greatest hits album by the Police, released in September 1992 by A&M Records. It is the band's second compilation album following Every Breath You Take: The Singles.

I'm 54, divorced 8 years ago and live by myself. Found myself sparking a nice J a few weeks back, blaring this from my rig, and dancing up a storm. Closed my eyes at times, and STG I was back then... My god what a great night it was, and what a great decade to be young.

Can’t remember for sure how long it had been but seems like this was maybe a year or two after The Police had officially disbanded. It was a HUGE deal when they came back together for 3 or 4 of these Amnesty concerts. I couldn’t believe it. I was thrilled to see them a few nights prior(I think) to this in Atlanta. It was the first of their mini reunion performances and a massively great surprise to me. I was a fan but had never had the chance to see them when they were still together. I’m pretty sure I found out via the radio on the way to the concert that The Police would be there. What a great memory.

Each member of The Police were vital to the band's success. Had *ANY* one of them left the band (not just Sting), then the band would have ended right there.
