THE POLICE "EVERY BREATH YOU TAKE" REACTION | Asia and BJ 

Double bass

@@cryptoholica72 Exactly: Gordon. The largest, bass member in family of violins, grandpa of fretless bass guitars.

@@Flatallica Yes, Double bass

Ja,...Stand-up Bass ist another term used by western culture (mostly das Americans only) when referring to a Double Bass. :-) Das second most used term for a Double Bass ist Violin Bass because it ist member of das Violin family stringed instruments. FYI...For anyone not aware? Guitars (electric, acoustic, bass, banjo, etc.) are members of das stringed instrument family,...but das Violin stringed family (violin, viola, cello, double bass, harp) are their own family grouping of stringed instruments separate from das now much larger stringed family. Why? Because these family groupings were established by das people who invented, constructed, played, und named most of these musical instruments. I've played Violin since age 8, Cello at age 10, und I'm not sure why whoever made such choices of stringed instrument grouping, but they are in stone. :-) Have a fun day. Auf Wiedersehen aus Wiesbaden :-)

@@ivankaleoniefuchs333 Thanks for this detailed explanation!

My daughter heard it for the first time and said "that's the stalkers anthem."

What do you expect from a society that made the book 50 Shades of Grey a worldwide best seller?

When an obsessive stalkers attention is wanted by the recipient, women call it "victory".

he wrote this song about when he divorced..

This song is about the government watching and controlling everything we do. This used to be well known, but apparently Sting's politics have caught up to him and he's no longer comfortable with it.

Ja, Stand-up Bass ist another term used by western culture (das Americans mostly) when referring to a Double Bass :-) Have a fun day und be safe. Auf Wiedersehen aus Wiesbaden :-)

@@ivankaleoniefuchs333 And pretty much only in the context of jazz or pop music. In classical, Americans call it the double bass.

Double bass, Slap bass!👍

The 70s say,..You are more than welcome. Too bad the 80s was pretty much garbage. Rip offs of 70s bands like the Police. it was the 80s only hope unless you like ca/rap which was the dominant Genre of the 80s. was their style.

@@kenperk9854 have a great day!

Yes,we were blessed 🙏🙏😊

@@kenperk9854 tell me you're a miserable boomer without telling me you're a miserable boomer.

I agree, we were spoiled with so much legendary talent!

It's like eating someone else's cooking and getting fat.

😂

Gotta love Keith! No lies detected in his comment though.

He was being sarcastic.

Sampling is just another word for ripping off someone else’s music.

P Diddy still pays Sting money for sampling this song without permission

That’s Asia on the channel intro, too!❤

Great, yeah. Not so sure about the overlooked part. He's pretty well recognized. Amazing that only the three of them made a really complete sound.

Copeland is one of the greatest drummers of all time. Just listen to him. He doesn't dominate, he has no need to, he knows he has skills.

Sting is also the primary songwriter--don't forget that

Can be BIGGER than the cello, like THIS one!

Want to see some rockin' cellos? Watch Apocalyptica.

Ja,...Stand-up Bass ist another term used by western culture (mostly das Americans only) when referring to a Double Bass. :-) However das second most common term for a Double Bass ist Violin Bass because it ist member of das Violin family stringed instruments. Cello ist a joining of Violin und Double Bass with of course their main differences of size und range of sound tone (strings). Das word Cello ist Italian meaning "small Double Bass". Ja, you are correct about Pizzicato und Staccato of course, but to mention a Cello can be played Pizzicato (plucked), und a Double Bass can be played Arco (bowed). A Double Bass sounds quite good when it ist bowed, it sounds similar to Cello that has been drinking too much bier (intoxicated Cello)...giggles I have a Russian friend who can bow electric guitar sounding exceptionally awesome. :-) I'm quite happy to see many of das Violin Stringed instruments finally get "plugged in". Das Double Bass und it's electric evolution ist much apart of current Rock music as "all" other stringed, horn, & percussion instruments have become. Rock music's many evolution uses every known instrument, every known chord progression, every playing technique that includes all other genre of music, und has always expressed such wonderful story-telling. Rock symphony ist Rock music's newest evolution. FYI...For anyone who may not be aware? Guitars (electric, acoustic, bass, banjo, ukulele, etc.) are members of das stringed instrument family, but das Violin stringed family (violin, viola, cello, double bass, harp) are their own family of stringed instruments separate from das now much larger stringed family. Why? Because these family groupings were established by das people who invented, constructed, played, und named most of these musical instruments? I've played Violin since age 8, Cello at age 10, und I'm not sure why whoever made such choices of family grouping either. :-) I certainly would not wish to pay das lunch cost for someone who could hold a Cello or Double Bass to their chin while bowing it...giggles It ist possibly a historical timeline thing, though different types of "guitar" have existed since at least das Medieval Period, so that doesn't quite fit either. Possibly someone has enough interest to gather research und post it here. I have chores in das stables that need tending before it ist late...gotta go. :-) Have a fun day. Be safe. Auf Wiedersehen aus Wiesbaden :-)

Man, I haven't heard Russians in a minute. Great song!

Great show. I think Joan Jett opened for them....

This made me lol...ahahahah... Stalker's Anthem. You're not wrong.

Duran Duran similar to The Police...? No offense but in what world? Except for the fact that both band were British I don't see any similarities in terms of style and overall artistic approach.

@@urivan9613 Sting is British, Andy Summers is American, and third member is French.

At one job I worked, this was the theme of all the supervisors

❤️

Great Reaction and if you want a REAL classic that you may not of heard of then "Al Stewart-Year Of The Cat" is for you and listen to the words as they depict a love song in Northern Africa but try not to pause that one much as it is a beautifully flowing song and you will miss much by pausing this masterpiece. Enjoy :)

... and Canary in a Coal Mine

@@muratomar6502 Oooooh, good call

The stand up base us usually played with a bow in classical orchestras. Jazz groups, swing jazz combos started plucking the strings to give it a more percussive sound. The electric base guitar is plucked as well.

I agree

Is he not good anymore? He isn't dead, is he? 😳

UMM NO !

I played the bass fiddle both ways picking and using a bow in an orchestra from 4th grade to 10th.

@@willardwooten9582 well a bass fiddle ain't a cello
