Lol. It looked like Sting was embarrassed that he was even a little bit responsible for that atrocity.

TTMOE is just weird like that. Idk if it's because he's from Sweden where you need to stay moving all the time if you don't want to freeze to death, or what. I went to one of his shows and he was constantly doing random shit like that as part of the show. The stupidest one was finger picking an open chord on a guitar in an open tuning for an exaggerated amount of time while he spun a chair around with his left hand before he sat down to play the rest of the song. Totally stupid gimmick, but his crowd seemed to eat it up, so whatever.

I just discovered Richard Cheese, everything this guy/band does is awesome!

Couple songs from Exit Eden popped up on my pandora the other day and really like them.
