While normal rock and popular singers are capable of getting on stage with three or four guys and rocking the house, Sting plays with hundreds of backup musicians...

Yet he couldn't get along with the other two people in his band longer than about five years.

He is a bassist without rhythm...

He has a rhythm. The same slow, droning rhythm for every song. I think "Synchronicity II" is the only song he wrote that has a tempo faster than "coma." And even it has the same rhythm, just sped up a little.

You didn't even touch on his massive ego. The guy makes Bono seem downright humble. Only unlike Sting, at least Bono has something he can brag about.

Poor sad twain. Spending his time attacking Hall & Oates and Whitney Houston. Your desperation is showing.I don't get why he's picking such little fish when there are HUGE NAMES pumping MILLIONS OF ALBUMS out of America that are full of UTTER SHIT. I have no idea, so I'm only asking - Is the British so out of touch that Whitney Houston and Hall & Oates really that popular over there? Have ( ... )

I thought the Paul McCartney comment addressed the massive ego thing.

And, yeah, Twain is going for easy shit.

It's harder to attack The Clash than Whitney Fucking Houston.

But, whatever, he does it well.

I'll give him that. I just wonder if he's trying to subtly build up to the big guns while you're bringing them out from the start.

Also, I thought you referenced Paul McCartney because he was lame, hence the "too radical and edgy" comment.

Of course the obvious explanation is that Twain has realized that American music is better than UK music and just doesn't want to admit it.

Sting post = good. If you've never heard a Nickelback song, count yourself blessed. I was entering college as their first album came out in 2000-2001; as a member of their target audience, I was regularly and thoroughly assaulted by their musical point of view, through no fault of my own. I thought their first single was acceptably catchy if under the influence. What followed was a horror.

even better/worse: Sting has now started playing the lute and doing mediaeval music!
