Vinnie out with 60 year-old bass player

[deseipel]

Copeland was definitely an exciting drummer in his time, but it was obvious to me that he wanted to be noticed more than he wanted to contribute a strong foundation. And from what was evident of The Police Reunion Tour, Stewart Copeland hasn't evolved much as a player. He still exudes such an adolescent attitude and yet can no longer compensate for that with powerhouse banging on the drums anymore.

Just watch how Sting reacted to this particular display of amateurish drumming:

It's hard to tell the context of that clip; that's one complicated relationship they have there. It's funny how both Sting and Stewart both act like kids arguing. Both of their attitudes are amatuerish imo. it's passive aggressive and disrespectful. There are better ways of communicating.

WHAT!?!?!?!?! Oh....my....God...

I could watch and/or listen to every version of this song with Vinnie on it for the rest of my life. What will he do next?

I guess he's still not playing with passion on this tour. Sounds like he's going for it here!
