Tim commerford out of RATM (he also looks tough with his made tatoo) and Leslie Claypool out of Primus who has a really chunky sound.

Yeah well Sting plays Bass and sings and piano and write all the damn music and has massivly, MASSIVELY, complex ideas going on in his song. The time sig shifts in "Big Lie" alluding to the fact he thinks religeon is bull**** is amazing. And he did that just with time signatures.

Boo Boo, I find you to be competent and to always have something informed and interesting to add or say, but to review sting the way you did clearly illustrates a lack of knowledge on his work. First of all, the bass work in Roxanne alone (a song I mention based on its umbiquity) should launch him into the ****ing stratosphere.

We are all entitled to our mistakes I suppose.

I guess so, i have heard some of his Police stuff, Roxanne is a great song, i love the bass on there myself, i wasn't saying he wasn't a very good bass player, he most certainly is, hes just not what you would call a extreamly technicaly skilled bassist, at least not like Billy Sheenan is, though i really dont care for sheenan, hes damn good and all and is one of the few bassists i have heard who can do crazy shread solos on bass, though i never see the purpose of doing crazy shred solos on bass guitar.
