This is a story the guys in the Police like to tell, but it’s almost certainly not true. There’s no other piano on the album, so what microphones pick this up? The vocal mic? Doesn’t sound like it. And it doesn’t make any sense that he would sit down just a couple of seconds before the vocal start. The drum mics? The drums were in a booth on the other side of the room. It’s a cute story, it’s almost certainly not true.
Vocal mic. The piano sits in the same room where he sang the vocals. Sounds very believable. Stuff like that happens in studios a lot, but usually they don’t keep those mistakes on the album.
Many studios had pianos in them back then, whether or not a band used it on a record. What I hear in the intro sounds exactly as described. It sounds random and unintentional
That’s not Sting
It must be stung
@@joe1205 Sting in the past tense? LMAO
Is it included on sheet music and stuff? And if so how is it transcribed?!
Looking for the “A demolished” chord transcription? Here it is: „A🧨” 😉
at first I thought maybe he farted a perfect Adim chord
A demolished 😂
Adem, got it!
I laughed so hard at this
Sure was 😂
Cdem7 when?
I’m gonna need a transcription.

The laughter is also not natural at all

Of course we know!!! Typical Sting so of course it sounds good.
But it fits perfectly
Despite the record company’s urging, Sting refused to play the arse chord on all the other songs.
Recordings ARE NOT MUSIC
Why?
@@CasiMediocre Because people do not believe recordings are music.
You ok?
And the only time Sting has ever laughed 😅
Perfect ❤
😂😂😂
Bull
Shut up
That vocal delivery on the word “bum” is everything.
It actually went with the song kind of. Lol.
Nowadays, something like that would, at the very least, be digitally erased in software — if not replaced with a pitch-corrected “perfect” chord. 😢
