    Sting is scheduled to be performing in Delhi and Bangalore i early February. Mumbai was dropped out due to the high entertainment tax and crap like that :mad: So like, the prices for the tickets are like about 2000/-, 1500/- and 900/- each. YAY (Sarcastically)

    Sting?:shock: Only 2000? That's amazing!!! To see the great man and such a small price to be paid, i'd go bankrupt if it only meant that i would be able to see sting perform!!(heavy dose of sarcasm:p:)

    yeah well one friend of mine attended his concert in japan and said it was the most boring show he ever attended, u know why???


    because it seems he sounded like a CD!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    Ahh, i think that's an insult. I think he meant that it was like lip syncing:)

    Nah.. sting won't lip synch.. thats fer sure
    Probably, it was too borin... like, maybe he went on & on with songs and there was no entertaining ****... like an Indian classical rectial!

    P.S. That's no offense nor an insult!

    Nah dude, sounding like CD..... i meant that maybe he sounded like that, i wasnt saying that he would and Indian Classical Recitals rock:p:

    Bandbaaja Pronounced Band Baaaa Ja

    Well he did explain to me WHY he thought so
    Because he sounded like a studio arrangement
    no extempore stuff, no huge solos, no variations, except what has been rehearsed so well types.
    very serious show. not enjoyable while watching live - thats what he meant

    stings live acts are so cool.. last year they did it without a real drummer.. the drums came from pro tools tracks.. they were able to syncronize with backup tracks on synth bass and keyboards.. without doing karaokegiri.. only sting can achive that..
    plus it helps that he was one of the best piano players, one of the most resourcful keyboardplayer/arranger/producer.. and kick ass jazz bass player, back vocalists etc.

    I LOVE STING!!!!
    whatever he does
    even if he farts on stage, it will be some unique diminished 7th added 9th flattened 6th chord or something
