ZZ and the Police

So what rock concerts are a must this summer? What about The Police, what an amazing comeback.. and what do The Police have to say about it?

“In my humble opinion, ‘Every Breath You Take’ is Sting’s best song with the worst arrangement. I think Sting could have had any other group do this song and it would have been better than our version - except for Andy’s brilliant guitar part. Basically, there’s an utter lack of groove. It’s a totally wasted opportunity for our band. Even though we made gazillions off of it, and it’s the biggest hit we ever had, when I listen to this recording, I think ‘God, what a bunch of assholes we were!’ - Stewart

man…

And then there’s ZZ Top, one of the best boogie bands of all time…

Did you know that Paula Abdul worked with ZZ Top on their ‘dance’ moves? Seems very strange, but apparently they needed work on their stage presence, and Paula is by trade a choreographer. The vague inuendo about her following the Milli Vanilli scandal would not seem to make her the optimum candidate for working with a traditional band like ZZ, but who knows. Seeing Eric Burdon perform makes one really wonder how old is too old to really rock, but then he was probably too old when he was with the Animals when you get right down to it. And then theres John Kay, who performs the old Steppenwolf songs better than they were done originally (ok thats not saying all that much).
