Dave Mustaine criticizes Sting

[Augrills]

Sting is actually Mustaine’s favorite musician. That’s the nicest thing he’s ever said about anyone

[DannyMcCaffrey]

He’s not criticizing Sting he’s relating to him, and criticizing us, the listener.

[michaelmaloskyjr]

That was the most lukewarm "criticism" Mustaine ever gave (usually very outspoken); He's basically acknowledging how much he begrudgingly admires Sting and can only find a nitpick with Sting's sometimes ponderous lyrics.
My double CD of "Bring on the Night" remains one of three items I'm rescuing from a fire.

Says the guy who wrote, “Hello, Me, it’s Me again…” 😂

[alfiegaishauser]

The Police were the biggest band in the early 80s and one of the biggest of the decade. Sting is one of the goats. You have an amazing metal band Dave but when it’s comes to songwriting Stings another universe to you

[gerritpeacock]

Synchronicity is an awesome song and well written. I'm not a big fan of Sting but his writing blows Dave M off the map.

[vincentoconnor]

Andy Summers is a more creative guitarist than Dave Mustaine

[marinamattioli]

That Song Is called Synchronicity and It Is One of the best things Police wrote imho. Period.

[kiddynamite]

I bet Sting didn't know him when they met? What Sting did with the Police was incredible. He was right at the end with the Police:, but that is Synchronicity. A great mf tune!

[iangarner]

Synchronicity 2 is an absolute banger of a track . He says it's really sophisticated but in the same song it says "we have to shout above the din of our Rice Krispies" lol it's really not that pretentious.

Sting is the most thought provoking musicians I can think of. He’s a lyrical genius and in my opinion the greatest all round pop/rock artist ever. If not the best to ever do it, definitely in the top 5. He can write profound lyrics, compose incredible pieces, and play multiple instruments with tremendous skill. The man transcends all genres and has literally carved out one of his own that only he can do so well. For anyone who questions his lyrical ability, have a listen to “Book of my Life” from Sacred Love.

Dave’s biggest talent is shit talking other people and blaming them for his problems

[boblawblaw]

Dave a genuinely sad man. Why criticize Sting. If you don’t like it, then keep quiet. I’ve never seen Dave praise someone. He’s in a permanent bad mood

[Notonmywatch]

Getting kicked out of Metallica made his ego angry

[beauthenchez]

Sting surpasses anything Dave has ever dreamt of trying to achieve.

[declanlune]

Holy fuck why do people even like this guy?!?!

[deesee]

“Made my drive shaft crank, made my pistons bulge, made my ball bearing melt from the heat” - lyrical genius Mustaine

[ralphchaunceyst.]

Thanks for reminding me how good that song was Dave.

[brbrdeng]

Mustaine wishes he was half the singer and half the songwriter that Sting is

[vincentgiordano]

Sting also wrote " do-do-do da -da -da da!
