I am not sure what mr. summers wants to tell us, but I myself don’t see it as an achievement on the police’s part that they disappeared after synchronicity and arise like the phoenix from the ashes a good 20 years later. I’d rather call it an accident, something that especially summers did not actually intend back then.
he himelf only recently said that they could have continued with a few more great records -> and that’s what U2 did anyway. apart from that no single U2 record is as weak as ghost in the machine (with all due respect to the few great tunes that the record contains).
I am happy police got back together, I am going to see them live in september; and andy summers is one of my top 4 guitar players.
he shouldn’t be telling himself bollocks like that though. U2 have worked their backs off the last 20 years, as a band, an experience that despite his great solo efforts summers certainly hasn’t achieved.

Andy will be wishing they hadn’t hung it up when they had when he realizes that playing songs that are 30 years old every night will make him feel as old as he is. Although, I don’t think he’s every year of the 64 he’s listed as being in the article.
U2 and the Stones had the nerve to carry on past the Joshua Tree and Exile On Main Street. Had they not, the world would have lost out on a lot of great music.
A fairer comparison would have been his band to Echo and the Bunnymen.

How does he know it was their hight point. They split over argumuents and fights. Sounds like a whole barrel of spite to me, a convenient truth. Nothing to do with reality!

The Police failed as a band, mostly because Sting is a selfish ass, and also because Stu Copeland would ride Sting like a little pony-boy and he couldn’t take it. Wankers!
In my opinion, Men at Work were just as good as the Police.
I saw the Synchronicity Tour, and it wasn’t all that, in fact it was rather boring. I don’t expect anything more from this money-grabbing reunion tour.
Sting should stick to Lute Music!

PS, we may not be blogging here, but we're still somewhat active on Twitter and daily links should still appear on this page.
The third set of results from the 2012 U2 Fan Survey is now available, and it takes us through your votes on U2's albums and songs. As a reminder, the survey was open from April 5th through April 30th. We received completed responses from 3,530 fans in 79 countries this year, both of which are down from 2010. We think that's likely due to the band […]
How would you like to have a wall in your house covered with perfectly framed U2 album cover art? You could just have your favorite U2 albums on the wall or, like me, you could go all the way and put every U2 album on display in order — like this: That’s one of the [...]This is a post from the @U2 blog.A Look at My U2 Framed Album Cover Wall (PHOTOS) […]
[Note: This essay appeared in the May 28, 2012, edition of TIME magazine.] It's become the go-to cliché of modern economics. Natural resources are a "curse." When a nation is over-reliant on one or two commodities like oil or precious minerals, corrupt government ministers and their dodgy associates hoard profits and taxes instead of properly […]
Bono made an appearance via video tonight at the Webby Awards, contributing to a tribute to Steve Jobs. A host of tech legends and celebrities each paid tribute to Jobs in five words or less, a Webby Awards tradition. It looks like Bono’s contribution was recorded within the past week, but that’s just a guess. [...]This is a post from the @U2 blog.Bono Pays […]
