Asia & BJ, you'll love their “Spirits In The Material World”, “Everything She Does Is Magic” and “Synchronicity II” !!! Saw them in concert April 1982, great show!!!
I saw them the same year at the Police Picnic in Toronto with The Police, Talking Heads, The (English) Beat, Joan Jett & The Blackhearts, A Flock of Seagulls, & The Spoons. It was amazing. Tina Weymouth was very pregnant at that show and her bass sat on her baby bump, horizontal to the floor.
I saw them in 1983 in Wichita, Kansas with UB40 as the opening act. The Police where great and I enjoyed their show immensely. Unfortunately, the yokels here in Kansas were not appreciative of the more traditional reggae style music played by UB40. Very sad....
Yes, Sting was the lead singer. After Synchronicity he went solo. If you want to hear, in my opinion, his best political album, listen to anything from Dream Of A Blue Turtle. It was his first solo album.
Than and Nothing Like The Sun snd The Soul Cages are a perfect music trilogy, Sting at the height of his artistic powers. Went downhill very hard after that (Ten Somner's Tales is a decent album with fome really nice dongs but afters its utterly forgetable).
Sting is the lead singer of the Police and a solo artist as well. He's basically singing about how politicians and people in power will say anything (in other words, verbal sh-t) which turns out to be meaningless so that it sounds like "da do do do, da da da da". They use a lot of ska and Reggae beats.
The Police were huge in the UK and the US back then. Many great hits. I think the first one I remember was 'Message In A Bottle' and then it was 'Walking On The Moon'. They were so different that some of us didn't appreciate its genius at first, but then they went to No.1 in the charts. One of my favourite sounds of theirs was from a song that wasn't a big hit. Check out 'The Beds Too Big Without You' and pump up the volume. I love the sound of that one. Æx 🙏
A wicked pop song with some lyrics that grab u, part brutal, part vapid (on purpose) ....anyway, that guitar riff that backs the verses, andy summers’s guitar style is one of my favorite things in the world....this song is over 40 years old, & that style/sound of his guitar playing still sounds futuristic to me somehow.
The Police do do reggae beats a lot. They are 2 British guys, the drummer is American. Sting is the singer. You have reacted to their songs before...Roxanne being their 1st big hit about a lady of the night. They are a rock band...saw them at Madison Sq. Garden in the 80's and it's was one of the most energetic concerts I've ever been to. Everyone stayed on their feet pretty much to move to the music ( James Brown concerts had that effect too ..lol)
Asia is right on about the backbeat. Stewart Copeland the drummer was known for moving the backbeat either to the left or right, giving the police a different groove than straight pop. Thanks for doing this! It was fun hearing this old band from fresh ears!!
I was locked on Asia's face when sting sang about prophets, priests, and politicians you could sense she was feeling the words and the music and was getting the message. Great reaction!!! You really need to listen to Walking on the Moon.
This song rocks pass do a lot of song from The Police !! And if you ever play the games scattegories and the category is music and the letter is a D, this song will get you 8 points…lol
This was one of those songs, at the time it came out, that older adults just couldn't get, they were more focused on the title itself rather then the message it was trying to covey.
Sting (bass. vocals) and Andy Summers (guitar) are British. Percussionist (he's more than just a drummer) Stewart Copeland is American. They met in London.
Steward Copeland grew up in Beruit, and the UK among other places. His father worked for the CIA. Stewart’s brother Miles was also the president of IRS Records.
Saw The Police in Philadelphia back in 1983..... y'all would've loved the 80s.... yeah, I'm old, but at 56 I'm blessed..... great channel... you both always come through! 3+ years later I'm still waiting for Big Head Todd and The Monsters "Groove Thing".... Uncle Bobby wouldn't steer you wrong!
They had a few political-type songs, but sting’s writing specialty will always be love songs, pretty ones, or funky ones, or dark ones... yeah, they were political from time to time, a handful of times, they didnt over-do it tho. But, i know what Asia meant....if u hear all 5 albums tho, the percentage of “political” stuff is relatively pretty sparse .... they touched on a lot of subjects, but, sting is pretty obsessed with love songs & love triangles, and storytelling....some, like “synchronicity 2”, is more like societal observation/commentary than expressly political. A handful of songs were tho, no doubt, but they werent hyper-political, like The Clash could be.
Yes Sting is the lead singer and bass player or of The Police. Stewart Copeland the drummer started The Police and he’s the only American in the band. Andy the guitar player and Sting are the only British members.
Nice reaction. Yes, they're from England, yes that's Sting singing. And the genre is Ska. That rock Reggae feeling to it. The Band No Doubt also did a lot of Ska around the time they became popular. This song is everything you talked about. And Asia yes it was on the upbeat. You're not crazy. Doing some syncopations there. A talented bunch. They had a lot to say about a great many things. And the political reach to it all. Move along nothing to see here. In the 80's it was the dems who lead the charge to shut down free speech in the music industry. Yup, I know who would think that today. But it happened. You can still watch the congressional hearings about it. Which just means that politics just sucks everywhere to me. But we must try to vote for folks who will do the right thing. Finding one is the problem through all the lies and misdirection's. The news doesn't help. Part that no one is jamming their transmissions line in the song. Very well played by the police. Sting did some rather cool political songs on his own. Check out his solo stuff. Some very cool songs there too.
The greatest thing about The Police is that nobody sounds like The Police. Completely original, innovative and impossible to copy. The offbeat feel is created by the "backbeat" snare hit landing on the beat of 3 instead of 2 and 4 like typical pop music. Very reggae inspired.
Yes, Sting was a very good hockey player from Hungary. He was married 5 times. His fifth wife was none other than t.v.'s Roseanne. Sting was accidentally struck by a trash truck in Colombia and lost both arms. He later learned to play the trumpet with his feet. The drummer, Steve Carrel wrote all of their songs.
Sting (Gordon Sumner) and Andy Summers are both Brits (Andy used to play in the same clubs in the 60s as Clapton, the Beatles, and Jimmy Page) joined with the American Stewart Copeland to form the reggae/ska/pop band from 1977-1984.
BJ that delivery, LOL! Sting and Andy (lead guitar) are from the UK. Stewart (drummer) is from VA. Their sound is an infusion of Rock and Reggae. Asia, you're not wrong. The offbeat was a purposeful skill from Stewart. His drumming was slightly off rhythm.
For poitics from them check out Bombs away, Rehumanie yourself, Landlord and Invisible Sun which was a huge hit about the Troubles in Northern Ireland....inspired the Cranberries Zombie I am told.
Yeah too bad you weren't born around 1970 you could have experienced the United States when it was truly free. Freedom of speech used to be so wonderful, so free, free. Yeah I've got to edit oh, I forgot to say thanks for this I did enjoy it. I saw the police at William and Mary College right after I got assigned to Fort Eustis 1981.
@@jbjacobs9514 well it could have been worse, they could have been real soldiers. You know the high schoolers that were sent to Vietnam. And just like nowadays the punks that come in and start that shenanigans on campuses aren't even students, they are just hired thugs by the Democrats.
Asia you are spot on regarding the off beat, Stewart Copeland is the drummer and he was heavily influenced by African and reggae music, and a lot of The Police tunes are pushed by the upbeat, it’s one of the reasons their sound is so recognizable in western music.
Lol the Police sang about everything ! From it being a big enough umbrella to the cups and saucers in a conspiracy ! Dive deep something might crawl out the water !
Great review! as for Genre? I'd say, new-wave that blended reggae, jazz, funk, punk, and world music influences into a hook-laden pop-rock sound. I'd like to suggest these for future reactions guys. 'No time This Time' 'The Beds Too big Without you' and 'Does everyone Stare'
Um no. Not close. I LOVE LOVE LOVE The Police and even moreso Sting, but not even in the same stratosphere as the Beatles. I mean, come on. Look at the charts and the impact and the cultural change of The Beatles. Police were a drop in a bucket in comparison.
@@jbjacobs9514 that's why I said arguably. I find their style similar in it's relative simplicity, growing in self awareness lyrically while expanding the musical repertoire. They helped mainstream reggae in rock music, although they weren't the first in that. They had sold out stadiums full of screaming teenagers and tons of press. If every decade has one, I'm saying The Police were it for the 80s.
@@The_Kiosk I love them but they did not have the type of impact on society or the world that The Beatles did. As far as a decade, let alone in perpetuity, we know the impact the Beatles had and will have forever. The Police did not have that impact, certainly not for the entire 80s or anything like that. If you really think about it, the one "act" that OWNED the 80s, made people go out of their minds for the entire decade - changed people - was Madonna. Like her or hate her, she changed girls and she changed boys and she changed music, dance, and performing (and fashion). She owned the 80s. 83-90 you couldn't find anyone close to her in terms of world domination. For perpetuity maybe for bands, I go Eagles, Pink Floyd, Led Zeppelin, and while none stayed together long enough (except the Eagles maybe), they had a forever impact on the world. No one says Police who lived through that time.
Police were very stealthiest and under the radar sneaky political! Then Sting (Gordon Sumner) became extremely political - the most amazing and disturbing and beautiful song he has is Russians. It is "Russians love their children too" - it is about the back and forth nukes tug-o-war (Oppenheimer's little toy, he sings) between the U.S. and Russia.
Asia hit the nail on the head with her words about politicians who get your vote on a certain manifesto and then completely back-track and put it down to 'It's not quite the right time', or 'The situation has changed', or some such drivel!
Asia did not make "the face". You know what I'm talking about, chin dipped - eyes closed - full sweet smile that says "I love this!" I did notice the moment she caught those lyrics though. Good reaction!!
Probably not my favourite song by the Police , but they made many good songs. You were ring Sting was the lead singer with the Police until they broke up
IT'S JUST 3 GUYS, JUST LIKE RUSH AND CREAM AND SEVERAL OTHER GREAT ROCK BANDS 😊 YESSSSS BJ AND ASIA, STING'S THE LEADER! 😊 ( GORDON SUMNER ) ASIA'S SAYING THAT THE BAND IS VERYYYYY PROGGY, AND SHE'S RIGHT, GREAT PROG ROCK FOR SURE!
Asia the "offbeat" sound you hear is the Police and particularly their drummer is heavily influenced by reggae. While rock music has the emphasis on the 1st and 3rd beat, reggae has it's emphasis on the 2nd and 4th beat making it sound "Offbeat" and giving it it's uniqueness.
If you want to hear some Police Mash-up Remixes, check out the movie "Just Go With It". Is an Adam Sandler & Jennifer Aniston film. Or look for the soundtrack on You Tube.
Stewart Copeland on drums, the man, the myth, the legend.
I was just going to say the same thing. His drumming elevates the song.
Top 10 drummers of all time, yet still somehow underrated.
Absolutely. My ever favorite drummer.
whenever i see his name, all i hear is the equalizer theme tune.
Asia & BJ, you'll love their “Spirits In The Material World”, “Everything She Does Is Magic” and “Synchronicity II” !!!
Saw them in concert April 1982, great show!!!
I saw them the same year at the Police Picnic in Toronto with The Police, Talking Heads, The (English) Beat, Joan Jett & The Blackhearts, A Flock of Seagulls, & The Spoons.
It was amazing. Tina Weymouth was very pregnant at that show and her bass sat on her baby bump, horizontal to the floor.
I really love their album "Ghost In The Machine"
I saw them in 1983 in Wichita, Kansas with UB40 as the opening act. The Police where great and I enjoyed their show immensely. Unfortunately, the yokels here in Kansas were not appreciative of the more traditional reggae style music played by UB40. Very sad....
Yes, Sting was the lead singer. After Synchronicity he went solo.

Than and Nothing Like The Sun snd The Soul Cages are a perfect music trilogy, Sting at the height of his artistic powers. Went downhill very hard after that (Ten Somner's Tales is a decent album with fome really nice dongs but afters its utterly forgetable).
I just love the reggae sensibilities they bring to this record.
The Police are one of my all-time favorite bands!
Sting is the lead singer of the Police and a solo artist as well.

I love how y’all pay attention to every song y’all react to. Yet another great reaction!🤓🤠❤️
Y’all.
Nice. My favourite band of all time. All 3 are brilliant musicians, and every single album has a different feel. All songs are worth checking out.
BTW, Sting's "If I ever Lose my Faith in You". Jaw dropping.
Love you too.
The Police were huge in the UK and the US back then. Many great hits. I think the first one I remember was 'Message In A Bottle' and then it was 'Walking On The Moon'.

Yes Sir, Sting is with the Police. Big treasure trove of music with these guys. They evolved from their beginings.
I remember roller skating to this song in 1982. Good memories!
For two of their best vibes, checkout “Voices,” and “Walking On The Moon.”
Syncopated beat at the end.
I lovvvve The Police ❤️❤️❤️
"That was the Police with De do do do, De da da da their gibberish classic"...
Asia is right on about the backbeat. Stewart Copeland the drummer was known for moving the backbeat either to the left or right, giving the police a different groove than straight pop. Thanks for doing this! It was fun hearing this old band from fresh ears!!
One member of the Police is American, Stewart Copeland the drummer. Lots and lots of great songs from this trio.
I was at the "Ghost in the Machine" tour at MSG. A revelation. Copeland's drumming is up there!¡!!
I love it!!
I saw them a few days later in Hartford. Amazing show
Asia hit it. Stewart Copeland the American drummer was known for his unorthodox playing style. He's a top 10 all-time favorite drummer for me.
Roxanne, Every Little Thing She Does is Magic, Every Breath You Take, and Dont Stand So Close to Me just to start before Sting's solo career
Hi Asia & BJ♥I'm a Musician and they are one of my favorite bands with so many songs in their short career
I was locked on Asia's face when sting sang about prophets, priests, and politicians you could sense she was feeling the words and the music and was getting the message. Great reaction!!! You really need to listen to Walking on the Moon.
The Police are great! There are so many good songs. I saw them on this tour back in the day. Awesome concert. Keep going...you will enjoy them.
I think around that time they were constantly on tour for 3 and a half years!
Synchronicity is a superb album with fantastic bass from Sting.
This song rocks pass do a lot of song from The Police !! And if you ever play the games scattegories and the category is music and the letter is a D, this song will get you 8 points…lol
My band covered this in the mid 80s and it always brought the dancers out on the floor.
I saw The Police back in the days . And I also went to the reunion show Live At River Plate stadium 🏟️🤙🎸
Great band! Saw them in 84 with my sis in Van couver. Thanks guy's!😁🇨🇦🇨🇦🇨🇦
Our pleasure!
The Police.. “Canary in a Coalmine”!!!❤

Always loved this song
The police definitely had their own style
Love their sound. Absolutely amazing trio ❤️
They were huge when I was in college. “Sychronicity II” snaps me back to the 80’s.
Yes, Sting was a very good hockey player from Hungary. He was married 5 times. His fifth wife was none other than t.v.'s Roseanne. Sting was accidentally struck by a trash truck in Colombia and lost both arms. He later learned to play the trumpet with his feet.
The drummer, Steve Carrel wrote all of their songs.
Steward Copeland the drummer is from the United States and Andy Summers the guitarist and Sting (Gordon Sumner) are from the UK.
Sting is the lead singer of the Police and you’ve got the message correct!!! Also, they use Jamaican beats in all their songs.
Sting (Gordon Sumner) and Andy Summers are both Brits (Andy used to play in the same clubs in the 60s as Clapton, the Beatles, and Jimmy Page) joined with the American Stewart Copeland to form the reggae/ska/pop band from 1977-1984.
Sting's best album was his first solo album Soul Cages.
poets and priests and politicians ...have words to thank for their positions..
I just have to say I enjoy Asia's song now as I did over a year ago.Its really beautiful.❤
this song was played to me as a baby so yeah pretty touching. ingrained in my head
They're 1st big song that kind of put them on the map was "Roxanne" And Roxanne was a lady of the evening !
The only police officers I like like that / waiting for music to get back to this rawness !!!
The drummer is American, Sting and the guitarist are from England 🏴
I always liked this song. It's fun!
The Police is from England and Sting was the vocal.
The song WHEN THE WORLD IS RUNNING DOWN - YOU'RE THE BEST STILL AROUND/The Police
Love the Police. Outlandos D'amore was my Mom's favorite album. That and Steely Dan.
Or as they’re now known. Sting.
BJ that delivery, LOL! Sting and Andy (lead guitar) are from the UK. Stewart (drummer) is from VA. Their sound is an infusion of Rock and Reggae. Asia, you're not wrong. The offbeat was a purposeful skill from Stewart. His drumming was slightly off rhythm.
Invisible Sun which is my 2nd favorite song by the police was banned in England over radio. For political reasons
Great reaction. Listen to Fortress Around Your Heart by Sting.
I remember this song growing up!
Check out Sting singing Russians....very apt in todays world
For poitics from them check out Bombs away, Rehumanie yourself, Landlord and Invisible Sun which was a huge hit about the Troubles in Northern Ireland....inspired the Cranberries Zombie I am told.
The name came from the law enforcment backgound of the drummer's family... including, I heard, CIA. THE POLICE! :)
Love your channel! I would recommend you review invisible sun by the police. It’s a powerful song!
Regards to you both!
Sting has always been the only singer for the Police. BJ and Asia kick NALGAS !!!!!!!!!
This song is more relevant than ever
Correct, Sting started out with the Police.
Yeah too bad you weren't born around 1970 you could have experienced the United States when it was truly free. Freedom of speech used to be so wonderful, so free, free. Yeah I've got to edit oh, I forgot to say thanks for this I did enjoy it. I saw the police at William and Mary College right after I got assigned to Fort Eustis 1981.
Was it though? Ask the kids at Kent State? But certainly more than now. Just fewer brats.

Lyrics still relevant today!
Yes sting was the bass player of the group
Great Band
Love Stewart Copeland’s drumming
Let go back in time, and stay there...
This song was about the later upcoming Synchronicity
Asia and BJ, I hope you react to their Live Atlanta concert in 1982 (?). They are really good live.
Asia you are spot on regarding the off beat, Stewart Copeland is the drummer and he was heavily influenced by African and reggae music, and a lot of The Police tunes are pushed by the upbeat, it’s one of the reasons their sound is so recognizable in western music.
Yes, sir....Sting.
Lol the Police sang about everything ! From it being a big enough umbrella to the cups and saucers in a conspiracy !
Dive deep something might crawl out the water !
Great review! as for Genre? I'd say, new-wave that blended reggae, jazz, funk, punk, and world music influences into a hook-laden pop-rock sound. I'd like to suggest these for future reactions guys.
'No time This Time' 'The Beds Too big Without you' and 'Does everyone Stare'
BEFORE STING MOVED TO ITALY 🇮🇹 HE USE TO LIVE HERE IN NEW YORK. HE MOVED AROUND LIKE ANYBODY ELSE. NO BODYGUARD.
