He's an incredible storyteller

It's validating to know that when you're 14, which I was in 1978, and you immediately latch on to the Police and they are instantly your favorite band, then years later you realize that you nailed it from the start as them being one of the best ever.

Well.....he is filtering here and there with punctuated silences and rephrasing in his mind (you can hear and see this as a drummer) .... perhaps because his kids might be watching; who knows....

Simply a genius drummer. So distinct, such grove and great tone.

So many broken PS controllers. So many furious moments. Spyro was my one and only gaming experience. I went perfectionist on 1, 2 and 3. Refused to level up until I had 100% on a level. And then I hung up my guns. Once in awhile my wife will ask me if I want to play a game with her. And I remind her of Spyro. And she stops asking.

Copeland is so animated, like his rhythms! Would have loved to have been a fly on the wall of that bus!

I hate it. SO many great Police songs an that dirge is the one that keeps getting played. You get the point of the song in about five seconds, but then it repeats itself, SLOWLY and ponderously, for the next hour .It occupies the exact place in my brain as does “Nothing Compares 2 U”.

Have a new respect for Stewart Copeland and understanding of him after listening to this interview. Well done, Rick B.

I love the stories the artists tell almost more than the music itself.

“Walk Like an Egyptian” was released only due to the insistence of Miles Copeland.

I love this guy, he is so funny and down to earth! And one of the best drummers in the world!

Copeland is a master at floating a narrative and owning his shit. Intense dude. Gifted musician.

Came here to say the same. Drumming on this song is some of my favorite drumming in any song. Ever.

Wow, lucky you to interview Stewart Copeland! If I could, I would talk to him all day and beyond. He has so many great stories and ideas.

Watched the whole interview, this bit makes me want to watch it again ❤🧡💛

I was always more of a punk drummer but if If I decides to play drums in my life was because of Stewart. His image playing at the Synchronicity Concert in Atlanta 1983 changed my life in that aspect. His look concentrated in the sound of bass was incredible. At the same time his incredible speed to play things that I would never learn to play. Stewart is a legend

He's a great interview, and Every Little Thing is a definite classic in my life. Such a great song as I was entering adolescence, what happy memories!

Rick I love how your intermission regarding subscribers is concise and fair. I subscribed to both channels after realizing I wasn’t, your vids fill my feed regardless cause it’s the best shit to watch

A seriously gifted drummer, bang crash, boom tick tick tick

That wrapped around your finger tangent is wild. Can’t believe he didn’t like it, that song feels so great. Especially with regards to how much that became his feature on the 07 tour

The pinnacle of humility, Stewart Copeland, calling another "genius". Not that I do not agree that Sting (aka Gordon Sumner) is a genius, but all three of these musicians were geniuses in their own right and Stewart Copeland's percussionist contributions to The Police was part of what made them so BIG, not to mention all of the incredible compositions that Stewart Copeland has given us. Thank you Stewart Copeland for having such a huge impact musically for me and so many others, since the music we listen to is the soundtrack to our lives.

One of my favorite all time drummers. When you can be understated, and friggin awesome at the same time. Not many drummers could pull that off.

Paul and Sting talking bass on a tour bus? Legendary!

Imagine being on tour with this guy 🤣

Andy had a huge influence on my playing, the way he used cool, unusual chord voicings while leaving plenty of room for the bass, drums and vocals.

Just had a thought... Stew would be GREAT on tour with Alex and Geddy! (Not calling it Rush)

I know, I was surprised but he says efff you about the lyrics at the end when it says "when you find your servant is your master" a little jab at Sting there.

In Sting's "Lose My Faith in You" the first chorus is good, the second chorus is great, but that final chorus is phenomenal.

Fully subscribed to both channels, Rick... just because your interviews are so in depth and above and beyond the simple questions disc jockeys used to ask.

The genius of Stuart's drum playing on all albums is unique it grabs you and sounds completely different to any other of the great drummers hes certainly not just sitting there banging stuff and you add that to stings genius writing ability who's also so distinctive when singing success was bound to happen at some point and then adding an accomplished guitarist like Andy with his ability and not a poser who wants to dominate the limelight, theres no wonder they became the biggest band in the world between 1979 to 1984 So happy these 3 talented individuals met!

I really enjoy your videos Rick. You always get great musicians as guests. I am a huge Stewart Copeland fan and enjoy his Police stories. Thank you Stewart and Rick for the video.

I can totally relate to him not having any idea what the lyrics were and he is just doing his drum parts.

Stewart, my friend, Wrapped Around Your Finger has an argument for greatest rock song ever written. It's absolutely incredible. If someone wanted to put it #1, I'd have no argument against it.

Great stuff from Stewart as always. Well done Rick !

Fantastic interview!

Bravo! awesome candor.

Great interview.. I was and will always be a committed Queen fan and was lucking enough to see them live many times in the 70s and 80s. However, in 2008 I saw the Police at Hyde Park and it was the BEST concert I have ever seen. Took me back to my youth, loved every single song. Would love to see them again.

Didn't know I wasn't subscribed to this channel. Subscribed!

three incredible guys - wow!!!

"Wrapped around your finger" was their finest work

They were all fantastic musicians. I'm glad I got to see the Police at the height of the band's fame. Rochester, NY, Summer of 1983 at now long demolished Aquinas (Hollander) Stadium. I remember winning tickets to the Synchronicity tour after naming the song question from a local radio station of the Hollies, "He Ain't Heavy, He's My Brother." Concert line-up - The Flock of Seagulls, The Fixx, and the Police. First song of the Police, "King Of Pain," Sting on Bass, a back-up musician on key boards behind him attempting to play the opening chords to King of Pain, but is doing the wrong chords.. Sting, quite irritated, walks back, bends over the keyboard and shows the player how to play the correct chords. Anyway, a fantastic outdoor, afternoon concert. But my one take away was that funny opening moment with "King Of Pain."😃

Sting is so great at both music and lyrics it is astounding, yet he is rarely noted for it. I think most people dont realize just how talented he is for whatever reason.

I could listen to Stewart talk all day long. Fascinating chap.

This is one of the best interviews. Being a musician myself.

Ok. I have never really heard him speak before this and he is AWESOME!

Truly a 'how the sausage is made' tale - one of my favorite songs that is so upbeat was born with so much discord and randomness! Great story! I'll still forever hear positivity and whimsy in that tune, though it was apparently tempered by contention.

I just saw Stewart in Dallas with the SMU music students. Bad ass show. Great stories. Renewed my love for the Police.

Didnt know this channel existed until today. Subscribed!!!

This is the best. Rick Beato so great that you do all those interviews with all those fantastic musicians that we all love. Without Mr Copeland there would be no The Police. He could se a talent and he was a talent himself. I love copelands playing and karisma when he plays the drums. On of my big heroes. But you need on more to interview and that is Mr Henry Padovani. He was a part of this fantastic trio when it all began. I love your channel. Jimmy

Such a brilliant discussion...Magic all the way

The comment about Sting searching for a rhyme for magic reminds me of an interview I read with him in Musician magazine decades ago where the interviewer was surprised to see a rhyming dictionary in Sting's possession.
