chaypup Posted February 1, 2011 Share Posted February 1, 2011 [quote name='Grand Wazoo' post='1109278' date='Jan 31 2011, 12:02 PM']I dislike him too, and I have personal reasons for this, met him a couple of times, to do with charity events, but I won't discuss this further here, safe to say that to me he is a ****er and that all that fuzz he did in the 90's to save the amazon forest and the tribes there, was only a facade to attract attention to his stardom like status as it was fashionable at the time just like Bono tried to get into politics and all that. As a bass player I was disappointed seing him live at the height of his career, back in the late 80's at a Police concert in Rome, with a bass strapped on his neck but with a back up bass player playing real basslines, right behind him in the shadows.[/quote] I have to say that I was quite surprised at the amount of mahogany furniture in his dressing room when I was doing the load-ins and outs for The Police Not that surprised though that they asked for a police escort and for 10 miles of the M4 to be closed for them on the way out though.......as if anyone would care!
