The New Police?

[Figs]

In the tradition of diet Van Halen, diet Doors, diet Thin Lizzy, and diet Queen.......


Anyone hear this rumour? I heard it on a radio station but couldn't find anything credible on the web.

This quote is from a cached Melodic Crock webpage, which was about all I could find....

-------------------------------------------------------------------------

Dubbed the New Police, Andy Summers and Stewart Copeland are in the midst of reforming two-thirds of the once supergroup with bassist/singer Tony Lewis from another popular trio, The Outfield. Over the years much has been written about the similarities of the two groups, especially Lewis' dead-ringer voice for former Police singer/bassist, Sting.

NOOOOOOOOOOOOO!

This shit with bands not fully reuniting is bullshit!

[Rikk]

If this rumor is true, I'm disgusted. I can also bet a million it's not. Hell, STING doesn't want to reform the band...but even he's sounded more positive about it than the other two.

Aww shit... this sucks...

It's probably not true, just wondering if anyone else heard anything...

Well, the voice would fit..... but not much else. The Outfield didn't really sound much like the Police.

But it's a MelodiCrock rumor so my bullshit detector is already going off

Guys -

Calm yourselves. There ain't no way this is true. None. Zip. Zilch. Maybe if they had said something like "dave matthews" will be fronting - or some huge modern name, but sting is still alive for starters, and WTF would Summers and Copeland want with a forgotten one-hit wonder like The Outfield???

Besides, I happen to know for a fact that Sumers and Copeland are working with the guy from the Hooters. AND IT FUCKIN' ROCKS!!!

And we danced!

And We Danced was good, but most fans and critics agree that Hey, All You Zombies where the band really found thier sound and revolutionized the recording industry and rock music.

Without the Hooters, you would've never had Nirvana, Pearl Jam, Beatles, Led Zeppelin, Dwight Yoakam, etc.

Summers and Copeland are LUCKY this guy was available and willing to take part and help out in creating the most authentic Police reunion possible.

Without Sting.

The Hooters 2 biggest hits were songs they didn't even sing on.

"Time After Time" (Cyndi Lauper)

"What If God Was One of Us" (Joan Osborne)

both written by Rob Hyman & Eric Bazillian of the Hooters. And I don't care what anybody says, I liked their first album. I think they should have stuck with the reggae thing that they did on "Zombies" and "Nervous Night". With both the Police and the Clash breaking up right around that time, there was an open market for "white guys who play reggae", and they fucked up big time by not cashing in. Yeah, there was UB40, but all they ever did was covers.

I thought P Diddy was the new singer of the police.

[CVHfan]

Well, I heard that it came from melodicrock.com. Most of it is bullshit. They said that David Coverdale would be the next lead singer for VH. We all know that didn't happen. Hopefully this "Police" reunion won't happen.

Beyond that I say, please make it stop. How many more shells of former bands must we endure. The Doors? Queen? Lynyrd Skynyrd? etc.

Stewart Copeland would never stoop that low.
