So listening through these again, in retrospect I'm gonna admit that Zenyatta is better than Ghost. But Synchronicity is still superior to all.

Synchronicity > Zenyatta > Ghost > Reggatta > Outlandos

Are you just saying that now because you know it'll piss Big3 off?

I think he's an excellent bass player, I've learned that just because he doesnt play like Geddy Lee means he's lacking in the skill department

Well I've said prior, we're all free to be wrong.

Sting knows, and has always known, what not to play. As a Bass player he knows where he's needed and he's not worried about his penis shrinking if he doesn't get a solo.

Sting's someone, to me, who's always managed to hear and be in the groove. I get the idea that he doesn't care what instrument he's playing.

His basslines are simple but inventive, it's the driving force of their sound, gives it that reggae flavor and he has a great tone.

He IS a pretty capable player. And does let loose on some songs more than others especially the earlier albums.

That's...cool? I never said he was bad, he's just not like the greatest player in the universe

I mean does doing your job well makes you the greatest ever at it?

Oh for crying out loud that was a long time ago, opinions can change, get over it.

Actually I never knocked him as a bass player, I said that he and Michael Anthony were equal in abillity but looking back on that I think that statement was very very wrong after having heard more of Sting's material with The Police.

I just wanted you to know that I read it, and I saw it, and there was some fury.

Also, you're welcome.

Sting's a decent bass player. Not great or anything.
