Some of it was I agree.
One of my pet hates is when they refer to them as "Sting and the Police"
Andy Summers and Stewart Copeland were fucken talented mo fo's who deserve much more than that.
EDIT. New system too confusing and I have fucked this up, this reply was meant for the music thread.....

@MN5 I don't know if 'he sold out' (I don't buy the selling out line, musicians can do what they want in my book) but I just don't like his music after The Police. Made worse by being stuck in someone else's car for a trip to Auckland and all they had was Sting's Greatest Hits (solo only). I was hoping to be Marvin in Pulp Fiction on that trip.

BTW, according to the management Toto members have collectively played on over 5000 (!) albums with total sales of more than half a billion.
Not only the artists you mentioned, but Jeff Porcaro played drums on Pink Floyd's "Mother" as Nick Mason couldn't master the time signature changes, the soundtrack for the movie "Dune" is by Toto to name a few other lesser known credits.
Toto are more than just the hits and have an extensive catalogue. Their last album XIV released last year is bloody good. Anyone who is a fan and didn't see them in Auckland in 2008 missed an awesome gig.

Fuck how embarrassing for Mason ! He's not someone I think of in the Bonham/Paice/Moon/Baker echelon but still......

Ken Kubiak passed away this weekend after a long battle with cancer and kidney failure. He's the one in the suit from this Francis Sect video from the late 80's

Bloody good song this one despite being a bunch of Australians playing twangy acoustic rock I usually can't stand and the fact that the lead singer looks identical to David Warner. I really dig this song and another one they do, this is a great one to sing along to loudly in the car and embarrass the shit out of the kids.

@Tim An excellent choice and my favourite song off 1984. VH is my fav band too (hence my avatar).
You don't happen to know an Aussie guy called Andrew who is a pretty dedicated guitarist? He followed them right around their only tour in these parts with Cherone. Lives in Sydney. Nearly fainted when he got to meet Eddie pre-show.
Can play, too.

@NTA It was 1998 so my memory might be failing me, but IIRC there was a Andrew/Andy in our NZ/Aust/USA group that followed VH on their Australasian tour. I haven't had any contact with those guys in quite a few years though.
We were given free tickets and a VIP pass so were able to go to soundchecks and were lucky enough to be granted access to VH's 2 full reherasals in Wellington before the opening gig. Good times.
@Tim We met the band on numerous occasions on that tour and bought each of them an AB jersey as a momento of the tour and a thank you gift. I took that photo of Eddie wearing his AB jersey backstage in Wellington. Michael Anthony wore his during the encore of both NZ concerts.
