Tuesday we're at Anfield, Wednesday we'll be driving to Belgium to open the main stage at Rock Werchter on Thursday afternoon, after which the van will head back to the UK while we fly out to Switzerland for this show, then hop back on another plane and hopefully get back just in time to play Wembley Saturday and Sunday nights. Then we're back off into Europe again for another two weeks. All starts to sound a bit daft when you type it all out like that doesn't it... Not daft, awesome, well done you! Hope you enjoy every minute of it. And please do share with pics where appropriate. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Going to be out for a full month but I think I'll just about cope. Sounds great, with the added bonus of meeting Eva Gardner (if she’s still playing bass for Pink).

We're actually on a strict no-drinks-no-drugs-no-fun rule for at least the first few weeks until we get into the rhythm of it. It's not a tour you can afford to mess up on so while we're a bit old and married for the party routine these days, we also don't want to go off on a bender through lack of excitement and end up screwing the proverbial goose.

I wouldn't be amazed if he wasn't that well known to anyone under 30 these days. I'm in my forties and when I was a kid Sting had left the Police and was doing his solo thing which was generally lumped in with the likes of Phil Collins and and Simply Red as being a bit naff in an AOR sort of way. That's not an opinion I shared, but I was definitely in the minority. There's probably at least a generation of young adults by now who's parents never listened to Sting or the Police and so have never really had their work brought to their attention.

Irregardless of Sting's continued popularity or lack thereof with the youth (and my personal feelings on his relative naffness...) it was just a 'nobody cares about bass players' joke. 🙂 I was originally playing bass on the tour until it was decided I was more useful on keyboards and guitars, so as I've mentioned it briefly in past threads this felt the more appropriate place to post. I'm not sure if we'll catch his set as we have an extremely tight schedule but although I'm not much of a fan would love to see him play in such a beautiful venue. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
