Rick’s working a long Parent Trap angle to reunite The Police 😂
yeah
I support this whole idea. 😁
Ha. Ha ha ha!
Oh they definitely see it. LOL
Hahaha 😂
Copeland, Summers & Sting are all musical geniuses. The Police are timeless!
Pub band. All the songs sounded the same.
That’s probably how music sounds to nonmusical people 😂
I agree completely. Fantastic apart, magical together.
@@mv9787 no to people with musical taste. So boring. Like listening to status quo.
@@michaelburgess7242 right, because Miss Gradenko is essentially Deathwish with different lyrics
My favorite, contrarian, grumpy, foulmouthed drummer. G-D Bless you Stewart!
God bless you too
G-D ????????????????? Why?
@@AlWorth9738He didn't want to get called antisemetic or islamophobic. Sad times :(
Had a drum lesson from Stewart once 😎
gotta censor that mass murderer in todays age@@AlWorth9738
How I have grown to really enjoy listening to Stewart Copeland interviews
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.
1964 in the house too
77 too...got a late start!😂😂😂❤❤❤
I was 12 in 1978! Same story. The Police opened my ears to music. Still love it.
I was 14 in 78. Right there with you.
@@gabrielbotsford791 Never too late!
Stewart is always fun to listen to in an interview. He is such a great wordsmith.
Yes, a wordsmith who ironically didn’t care much about lyrics.😂 I could listen to his stories all day long.
@@xerxesalmighty9444 he's a good storyteller, but some things I take with a grain of salt.
I was very surprised to hear he did not care for the lyrics of the songs.
Stewart is a hoot, always liked his attitude.
I love that this clip has him ending on "... and it kind of did". Fesses up.
I love that Stewart has no filter. Great interview!!!
I will always have the utmost respect for this man because of his composing of the Spyro the Dragon soundtrack. Literally the sound of my childhood.
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.
Simply a genius drummer. So distinct, such grove and great tone.
Why do you say that? And how can I be like him?
Copeland is so animated, like his rhythms! Would have loved to have been a fly on the wall of that bus!
This is gonna have to be good. Steward is so much fun to listen to!
I never get tired of it. He talks plainly and like he doesn't give a F. Can't help but like the guy...
Steward?
Interview is already up
Interesting are the dynamics of a trio. This band had 3 strong personalities and man did they make a mark on popular music.
I think Every Breath You Take is one of the greatest songs ever written. Perfection.
I'm ok with never hearing it again. I think 14 million times is quite enough for one lifetime. 😉
Why do you think it's great? It is subjective to some extent. I'm not sure how I feel about it.
@@leif1075 Fun to play. Great chord progression. Compelling lyrics. In the top 100 of songs of all time.
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”.
I love the stories the artists tell almost more than the music itself.
Have a new respect for Stewart Copeland and understanding of him after listening to this interview. Well done, Rick B.
“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.
Dude looks like a super intellect, yet managed to not know police lyrics for 4 decades, while I even did without even liking police, while i love his works since I watched the movie rumble fish.
Thats Probably the weirdest thing I would expect from a dude like him.
Stewart Copland performed the BEST drum fill in pop music history toward the end of ‘Every Little Thing She Does is Magic’. It is beyond beautiful, powerful, elegant,… just indescribably amazing….
I know the fill...mostly snare....and fit perfectly
Badabada--badabadabap-bada!!!
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.
Imagine being on tour with this guy 🤣
Paul and Sting talking bass on a tour bus? Legendary!
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)
Good shout!
Except he can't memorize drumming.
@@user-qr8ki8ue4i Does not want to!
Stewart and Neil were quite close later in life, so I think Alex and Ged would be open to playing with him someday.
You're not wrong.
Synchronicity I at 1;29, the absolute PERFECTION of the mastery of the "non fill".
It was the first album I ever bought with my own money. I will always feel this album is perfect.
Stewart is such a cool cat. I would love to just sit and drink a beer with him while he talks about anything music.
Fan...for sure...what a guy...unique talent...
Finally, the interview I was waiting for!
Rick, this is so awesome! Love these interviews!
Stewart should be near the top of the list as one of the greatest drummers.
He's #10 on the Rolling Stone 100 Greatest Drummers of All Time list...but, here's the thing. Numbers 1-9 are all dead; so, that makes Copeland the greatest drummer alive. Next greatest, still living: Ringo Starr, #14.
He is!
Stewart Copeland composed the entire soundtrack for the original Spyro the Dragon game on the PS1. The man is a legend!
Well, his least favourite song, wrapped around my finger, is my absolute favourite. Life this song is incredible, Copeland shows his fantastic skills, unbelievable that 3 guys can make such a life performance
Love that song as well.
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.
Yup. Count 7 measures then listen to for hints to a change of section; repeat.
The best Host.
The best Interview.
The best Drummer.
Rick's series of interviews will be
historical in 20, 40, 60 years time.
History taking place right before
our eyes. Let's keep our eyes open.
The King of UA-cam: Rick.
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.
Great interview
I just saw Stewart in Dallas with the SMU music students. Bad ass show. Great stories. Renewed my love for the Police.
Stewart seems to still have an animus toward Mr Sting! lol. Great drummer.
Love the Zappa ref..
he's a bitter SOB
This was just great. I grew up with the Police and this guy has the most distinctive technique. One of the best Anglo American collaborations ever.
The video for ELTSDIM is one of the sweetest things from pop music in the 1980s.
Always a cool ride Rick.
Great stuff Keep on the great content
Hey Rick Beato, "Awesome Sauce" little question and answer session with the COPE!
For this, I have subscribed to the Rick Beato 2 channel.
Great storyteller..and a genius ❤
Great stuff here Rick!
Damn, he's a good storyteller.
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.
Eminem said anything can be rhymed. They told him, "Not orange."
......
Hold my beer.
"Oranges, peach, pears, plums, syringes *VRRM VRRM*"
Genius learning example if anything, one is watching. 🙌👍
How is that?
Fascinating!
what a career! all those amazing songs AND the Back To The Future series!
Love the bugle and pedals on the desk shelf
Let’s not forget that Ste’ is a genius too. My all time favorite drummer.
Copeland's drumming was always mind blowing to me.
Great storytelling!
Lovely honest guy
I could listen for hours how musical artists created all their stuff. I must be a huge geek
Amazing drummer
And that's how you create magical Musical Genius. Band Chemistry and not by sending tracks over the internet.
Working all together. That's how it's done and that's how it remains CLASSIC.....Luv the stories Stewart and younspit out words just like I talk 😛👍🏻👍🏻
Stewart literally is a living genius!
Great interview, I had no idea Stewart was so funny!
Stewart is awesome!
Love Stewart Copeland.
Sorry Rick, didn’t know about this one : subscribed now! LOVING this chat!!!!!
Haven’t watched the whole interview, but hope someone brought up Oysterhead, his collab with Les Claypool and Trey Anastasio
I could listen to Mr Copeland all day long.
Copeland had unlimited energy on stage!
excellent and lovely
Legend
I love Sting and Stewart's chemistry. Friends, fight like family etc. but we got the best of it.
