Paul's music is pretty mellow. Stings tunes are full of energy. It's a stadium tour and that makes for bad acoustics. This is a pass. Vinnie or no Vinnie. Wouldn't be able to hear all of his goodness. If sting is gonna play music from his latest album you will need a bed to sleep on. Paul Simons tu...

Maybe Chris is so damn talented that he's trying to level the playing field by making it more difficult for himself :) I personally think it's a fad/attitude that some of these guys are going for. plus some of these players strike the cymbal from the under/upward and over/downward swiping motion (De...
