It sounds like Sting can't hit those high notes anymore.

I would say Vince is underrated, but the dude has like 25 grammys.

Yeah, Vince has been a gunslinger on guitar since the 70's and the Pure Prairie League. Check out the highlight DVDs from Clapton's Crossroads Festivals for some of his recent playing.

gee, Sting could play John Locke if they ever redo Lost.

Vince is a tremendous guitarist. He was once offered the second guitar spot in Dire Straits by Mark Knopfler but turned it down.

I watched the whole Crossroads episode and if I remember correctly, he mentioned that Knopfler was a guitarist that he really looked up to or something like that.
