gr8 drummer.... but for fucks sake,he talks like a 14 yr old geek,with some shitty social skills. cold,& hyper-analytical. Sting,has no less an intelligent;yet,he has a warm human,poetic soul.
'underrated" in what universe are you living ! he's totally well known, well acclaimed and admired and adored and given the full street cred he so deserves. underrated by no one i'd say !
I love Stewart Copeland. Boundless energy and enthusiasm and a monster talent! It was his band. He laid so much of the groundwork. The Police were unique!
When I was about 23 or 24 years old... I had a drug addiction to 'Heroin'... I decided to go cold turkey to come off it... I had all 5 (at the time) albums, and listened to them for 3 agonizing days of hell!!... I really fell in love with their music... they got me through a really tough time... p.s. I didn't stop 'using' completely until I went to rehab at 30 years old... I love ALL their music!
I guess my current situation is unusual so a lot of times people don't understand. I've commented about some complications to do with trying to get off of daily narcotic pain meds to a prn 1-3 days a month. Those were really miserable physical and emotional experiences. at a lot to a lot of disapproval execpt where I stayed mostly and they felt it wasn't a big worry for me in the context of things...let her hike if she wants hahaa This is the part I don't think it's easy to relate to...a couple of months after being able to get an apt in name, I got into a car accident while waiting for a red light. It triggered a migraine that pretty much lasted over 8 years. However, I knew such relief is dangerous and promised to go off if I got better and I did out of nowhere this winter. So I asked officially (that is a big deal in our state legally ) to go off. What is now wrong is not a desire to continue taking the meds or even craving them unless I'm having pain. The intitial drop was so extreme I havent come back fully. Mentally...not like psychotic, more like MIA to reality. Then I took another last week, so it's been rough.
livedreamincolor I have used all types of drugs now, and can understand your plight. I myself find 'Narcotics' in any form, just makes me have much less anxiety and able to 'battle ' the day, in what ever way it happens... I mean shit happens! but 'using now, some form of substance... (funny, I don't find drinking (alcohol) good at all!) for over 40 years... I find my central nerve system 'shot' and need something to deal with 'day to day' BC.... I smoke pot at night... I am on 'suboxone' (32 migs a day).. and 2 valium a day... I used to be on 190 migs of methadone a day... found it a little too much! I am thinking of going back on 'done' as it takes away the anxiety and make the day easier to deal with. I know my partner needs about 30 migs of 'done to cope (she is also a long term user) I always wished I could manage my day 'stress free' without anything! but my chemical make up is one of an 'adddictive' personality. I think I can work out what I need and when I need it, without counselors advice these days! 0:)
May, 2017 Not only one of the finest drummer / Percussionist around, but an intelligent and articulate individual. He would be a pleasure to spend time with .
In my opinion, he is still the best drummer I have ever heard. I may be biased because I have always loved The Police. Yes, he's awesome...very intelligent and engaging. :)
Some of my favorite people are these musicians from 80's bands who were tech nerds in addition to being the most creative musicians ever. I LOVE Stewart, and Stan Ridgeway, and Mark Mothersbaugh, and Danny Elfman. I feel so lucky to be alive when they were figuring this all out!
I love watching Mr. Stewart Copeland give an interview, because he's so enthusiastic, and he's also very well spoken, and intelligent. Please keep the interviews coming and fyi, I really dug the Everyone Stares film.
The most sharp drummer ever , When the police play live , you think there are at least two drummers,, His best drumming was on message in the bottle,Driven to Tears and the Beds too big without you..
Over-dubs my chum. He over-dubbed a lot of drum tracks onto Message in a bottle, in an interview he said that he loves to watch drummers try and play all the parts live x
Sting would have NEVER made it without Copeland, and Summers interpretation. There's a lesson to be learned. Don't screw up a great thing! The Police was the band of the 80's
I love the way he describes the young guys in Phish and Primus - his work with them in Oysterhead was Legendary (I was lucky to see them several times) ! I sure hope they 'treated him nicely' lol
Stewart may be the best drummer in history that was such a well versed musician. Lots of drummers refuse the title of ‘musician’. I don’t know why… but they quite often do. But some would seem to find if undeniable & I’d imagine Stewart in no way would deny it. He’s not only dipped his toe in every genre & style of music, he’s excelled in them. I cannot even begin to quantify the respect I have for Stewart Copeland. His playing style is so amazing broad. There are touches of just about everything within it.
I have the movie on DVD..He's wrong you get a deeper sense of the band mates. Sting has an ego which extends to Memphis , to the UK. They are about their business.. You understand how the business was back then. How they toured in a station wagon. Behind the scenes into their lives moving up the ladder in America. Respect to Stewart to having the notion to documenting the experience.
TRIVIA: Though born in the U.S. (in Alexandria, VA), Stewart and his family moved to Egypt before he was six months old. It is this aspect which some biography pages about him mistakenly refer to his place of birth as Alexandria, Egypt. His father, Miles A. Copeland, Jr. (also father to manager Miles A. III and booking agent Ian Copeland - the latter of who died in 2006 of melanoma), had worked for the CIA.
IMO Stewart is the brains. Sting is the creative guy.Stewart is humble but will call bullshit to anyone............anyone, including icons or whatnot...like Sting. As to why the Police never reconvened.
Stewart and I are doppelgangers. My wife, brothers, sisters, and friends all agree. We are about the same age. We talk the same and have the same mannerisms. When I watch an interview with him it is almost spooky. Hell, I can barely tell us apart. If you saw me and talked to me you would agree. Even my girlfriend back in 1980 thought I was a dead-ringer for him at that age. If I met him today he would think I was a twin brother. We even went grey at the same time, it's odd.
Been a drummer since 1977... Peter Criss' drum solo on KISS ALIVE got me to be a drummer.. then from 1978 on..Neil Peart & Stewart Copeland were my MAIN drumming influences..
Stu, your memory is starting to fade :-P First there was the Amnesty tour, then the ill fated collarbone sessions. Then you played two songs at Sting's wedding 10 years later, and finally you reunited a further 10 years later. Got it straight now? :-D I can't believe 10 more years have passed since then.
***** Well, it is up to your dirty imagination to assume what would be in those films. If you noticed Stewart Copeland is doing a comparison btw. family and a rock band and continues to computer software.
This Jealous guy is the reason why The Police didn’t finish their Sixth studio album and why Sting decide to break-up the Group. It came out of nowhere and left where it came from .
Stewart's story is 1 long adventure. He is the youngest son of a Military (AMERICAN) family that traveled the world. Stew spent time in England, Saudi Arabia, Asia as a youth. He spent more time in England though than anywhere else, funny he has an American accent.
Also, Stewart's older brother is Miles Copeland, famous record executive & Manager of the Police. The Copeland brothers (Ian too) were all involved in the music industry.
Kind of disingenuous to say that The Police didn't fight a lot. If they're arguing, I seriously doubt Stewart is going to keep filming as he's in a middle of an argument. Second, the film only captures the the first half of their career.
It's a fun watch, but it there isn't much after the second album. Once Andy put out his documentary, I completely lost interest in this. Definitely only for die hards.
![Stewart Copeland - drumtalk [episode 36]](http://i.ytimg.com/vi/V1L4AyXXuic/mqdefault.jpg)
The best drummer ever. Sting was the face, Stewart was the soul.
Andy was the heart
Im still breaking my wrists, trying to play like this man. He´s the most underrated drummer ever!
Same for me, I want to play as well as him. But underrated? He's in the top 10 of the best drummers of all time, everybody knows that hahaha
***** have you listened to the entire police catalog and everything there is of them on video?
***** better now than never hahaha You should watch Walking on the Moon Live in Atlanta 1983, best drumming ever by far.
gr8 drummer....
but for fucks sake,he talks like a 14 yr old geek,with some shitty social skills. cold,& hyper-analytical. Sting,has no less an intelligent;yet,he has a warm human,poetic soul.

This is the best Stewart Copeland interview I’ve ever seen. Stewart is class.
I love Stewart Copeland. Boundless energy and enthusiasm and a monster talent! It was his band. He laid so much of the groundwork. The Police were unique!
He Is The GOAT.
his mannerisms are exactly the same as they were when he was in his 20's, it's funny how things like that do not change haha
This dude is a pioneer for drummers everywhere.
When I was about 23 or 24 years old... I had a drug addiction to 'Heroin'... I decided to go cold turkey to come off it... I had all 5 (at the time) albums, and listened to them for 3 agonizing days of hell!!... I really fell in love with their music... they got me through a really tough time... p.s.

omg I thought I deleted that vomit and was going to return when my writing was better ...you actually got throught that?
Stewart Copeland is just a legend.
Been saying he's my favorite drummer of all time forever. The Police are legendary and so is Copeland. Great interview!
May, 2017
Not only one of the finest drummer / Percussionist around, but an intelligent and articulate individual. He would be a pleasure to spend time with .
In my opinion, he is still the best drummer I have ever heard. I may be biased because I have always loved The Police. Yes, he's awesome...very intelligent and engaging. :)
lol I know. :)
I have him definitely in the top 5, perhaps as high as 2, but until he leaves this earth, don't forget Mr. Neil Peart.
Ron Beretta
neil has lost some of his game.stewart plays like he always has.hasnt aged much at all
buddy rich will always be the best
Stu Co is right up there in the top 4 i say too :)
Ron Beretta Don't forget Neil Peart Is a fan of Stewart Copeland!😋
Best part of the interview for me was: "It would've been unprofessional of me to leave my hotel room looking like I would be safe with children." lol
Some of my favorite people are these musicians from 80's bands who were tech nerds in addition to being the most creative musicians ever. I LOVE Stewart, and Stan Ridgeway, and Mark Mothersbaugh, and Danny Elfman. I feel so lucky to be alive when they were figuring this all out!
Police are 70's
I have always listened to Stew Copeland and Neil Peart.Both are just awesome!
They were both very good friends with one another as well, I can see why.
Best rock drummer
A real innovator
I had the pleasure of seeing him perform twice in one week !
The police wouldn’t have been the police without him
I love watching Mr. Stewart Copeland give an interview, because he's so enthusiastic, and he's also very well spoken, and intelligent. Please keep the interviews coming and fyi, I really dug the Everyone Stares film.
What I like about him is that he's so down to earth that he could make the Queen of England seem ordinary.
Fantastic and intelligent musician , also I think a good tutor of life
He's adorable. :)
THIS is the best interview I've ever heard with Stewart. so insightful. shame it's cut off abruptly, thanks for the upload. fantastic.
He's hilarious. Obviously bright too.
I appreciate the grown man Stewart Copeland who has perspective, gratefulness, and affection for his place in the entertainment firmament.
The most sharp drummer ever ,
When the police play live , you think there are at least two drummers,,
His best drumming was on message in the bottle,Driven to Tears and the Beds too big without you..

I sure hope they 'treated him nicely' lol
Dude is just a bad ass!
Awesome interview. Thank you
A great interview. Stewart is surprisingly articulate, engaging and funny to boot. I was seriously LOL @ 14:32-14:35
Dude's articulations are lazer point, speed of light and gather via centrifugal force of thought tpm.

Stewart originated the tube socks to the knee and daisy duke gym shorts look.

what a great guy. hyperattractive at all levels.

You always do good work Stewart from the Police to The Equalizer to solo projects it's all good
IMO Stewart is the brains. Sting is the creative guy.Stewart is humble but will call bullshit to anyone............anyone, including icons or whatnot...like Sting. As to why the Police never reconvened.
Don’t think it could have happed without Andy... they have both said that
As Klark Kent his album was fuckin' fantastic.

Great quote / tangent at 13:40
I love how at 5:17 he's got bullsh...at the tip of his toungue but his wizend self kicks in and adjusts to the context of the interview. :D
I understand he sings as well as he plays the drums.
Have you still got the raw / uncompressed video source?
I'm working on a documentary and would like chat further with you if so....
The Best‼️
I'll try again: Have you still got the raw / uncompressed video source?
I'm working on a documentary and would like chat further with you if so....
so cool
Stu, your memory is starting to fade :-P First there was the Amnesty tour, then the ill fated collarbone sessions. Then you played two songs at Sting's wedding 10 years later, and finally you reunited a further 10 years later. Got it straight now? :-D I can't believe 10 more years have passed since then.
Coolest dude ever...
When was this shot? He looks like he's in his 30's !!!
Why in the fuck does this only have 66k views?
Great Steward.👍
when was this interview done?
***** AUGUST 2006
vegastiki Thanks,not long before the reunion tour.
Is that a Casio calculator watch he's wearing?
Does anybody know anytjing about the film hes on about? Is there a movie about the police that i havent seen?
"Cant Stand Losing You" from 2015?
The Police Everyone Stare’s (2006)
Ha, classic moment at 17:50
was this before the reunion tour?
Yes.
Wait what movie is He talking about?
At the same time, those 8 mm films can last decades, not necessarily so with digital information on drives.
***** Well, it is up to your dirty imagination to assume what would be in those films. If you noticed Stewart Copeland is doing a comparison btw. family and a rock band and continues to computer software.
Copeland's aging very well. 62 years old?? Really?
He was in his 50s at this point, I believe. This was filmed in... 2006, I think. So, he was 54.
Yes, he is. He's very handsome, always has been.
I sold film to Andy in the early '80s.
Y'all were a college radio band.in the beginning.
Final Cut Pro....so sad
Yo, I've sent you a PM re: a doco about the Police I am making and am seeking your help re: this Copeland clip. Hope you get back to me.
stewart you are the best! you have to be you're mozart's uncle…me! bob!
wonder why he switched from ludwig to tama so early on
Tama was louder. Same reason he went from Formula 602s to Rude cymbals. Louder.
This Jealous guy is the reason why The Police didn’t finish their Sixth studio album and why Sting decide to break-up the Group.
It came out of nowhere and left where it came from .
nozpkr 00-04
oh he isn't british?
and he's actually from Virginia. How Ironic that the police are an English rock band
Gilberto Manhattan Ruiz because the polish are an english rock band, but Copeland is American.
yes Copeland is one of the best drummers of all time and one of my favorites. The others are Neil Peart, John Bonham, Larry Mullen jr, and Keith moon
Stewart's story is 1 long adventure. He is the youngest son of a Military (AMERICAN) family that traveled the world. Stew spent time in England, Saudi Arabia, Asia as a youth. He spent more time in England though than anywhere else, funny he has an American accent.

Batteria,con abete forse cromato.?
Kind of disingenuous to say that The Police didn't fight a lot. If they're arguing, I seriously doubt Stewart is going to keep filming as he's in a middle of an argument. Second, the film only captures the the first half of their career.
Is it me? or does Stewart and Barack Obama sound the same!
kad5001 They look the same too.
It's just you baggot
80s fan Last time I checked people used to have a sense of humor in the 80s.
Mottahead another baggot
80s fan Witty comment. Should feel proud of yourself.
It's a fun watch, but it there isn't much after the second album. Once Andy put out his documentary, I completely lost interest in this. Definitely only for die hards.
His dad was a spook I knew people who worked with and for the CIA
Police gentrified Reggae musi
hes a terrible drummer very over rated.
You must be high, deaf, know nothing about music or all three
@@zeramokeTruth hits everybody
Go Trump@Mr and Mr Smith
@Wid Eye I was joking i just wanted to see some reactions, i dream about copeland
Yo, I've sent you a PM re: a doco about the Police I am making and am seeking your help re: this Copeland clip. Hope you get back to me.
