The drummer, Stuart Copeland started this band. He is one of the most sophisticatedly skilled drummers ever. You should look down that rabbit hole. So cool! 😎🙌
I think Andy may had been the oldest in the band? In the 60's he played in Dantalian's Chariot who played in the same circles as Pink Floyd early on and then with Soft Machine who played mostly fusion and after that Eric Burden and the Animals.
Especially "Don't Box Me In" (From the movie "The Outsiders")
Stuart collaborated with Wall of Voodoo front-man Stan Ridgeway on that one
He also wrote the music for The Equalizer tv show
@@tommack9395 Read Andy's book - _One Train Later._
One of the best baselines ever! Check out DEMOLITION MAN. ❤
Stewart Copeland should be on everyone’s best drummer list.
Except Sting's best drummer list LOL. They were constantly at one another because Sting felt that Copeland couldn't keep steady time to save his life, and later Police shows you could see them going at one another. Not sure they ever really settled it but both appear to laugh about it today. Just don't expect to see another Police reunion. Ever. Personally, I love Copeland's drumming and I don't get what Sting was going on about...
The REAL Equalizer!
You can find a photo online of how Stewart Copeland customised his drumkit towards the end - he took his four toms and put black insulating tape on them reading "F*** OFF YOU C***" (without the stars) to express his hatred of Sting
For me IMO I don’t know bout anybody else Stewart and Larry of U2 are my best drummers on my list
@@jeffredd9965. I see what you did.
Great Reaction! Now you should do their "Don't Stand So Close To Me", one of their signature songs.
"Synchronicity" and "Synchronicity II" are also amazing Police songs.
Absolutely, and "Canary in a Coalmine" too.
Also, "The Bed's too big without you."
Stuart Copeland was the real force behind this outfit. He was a transformational talent and one of the best drummers out there.
Stewart was the unapologetic attitude of the group, Sting was adult contemporary pretending to be a Punk. Andy is a pure professional and master🎸
Yes, Stewart is fantastic. Saw The Police on the 1982 Ghost in the Machine tour. It was certainly a highlight concert during my high school years.
Copeland is an amazing musician. On the off chance you haven't seen it, search here on UA-cam for videos he's done with all sorts of other musicians at The Grove. My favorite is "A Little More Noise" with some guy named....Neil Peart I think it is....on drums. Copeland is on guitar.
His father was in The CIA!
My drum teacher made me listen to him around 40yrs ago… Amazingly versatile 👏🏽👏🏽
Stewart Copeland sounds like three drummers. He's a percussion genius !
Jay & Amber, You'll love their "So Lonely", "Synchronicity II" and "The Beds To Big Without You" !!!!
'So Lonely' is their best song!
"King of Pain" is another awesome one.
One of my favorite 4 chord songs.
Bed's too big is an excellent suggestion!
@bjdefilippo447 thank you!
When this came out, England was going thru a huge SKA revival thanks to 2-Tone Records. This obviously influenced bands like The Police. That doesn't take away how big of sound these 3 guys could make or how Stings song writing always kicked things up a notch!! Brilliant!
I'm no expert on Carribean sounds but this does sound ska to me although I had no idea what that was when I 1st heard this in the early 80's.
Because there was a lot of immigration to the UK from the Caribbean in the 50s and 60s, the British music scene was massively influenced by this culture. Growing up in London in the 70s and 80s, we were completely immersed in reggae and ska.
Ska influenced The Police exactly zero percent. On their first two albums they were either punk, or reggae, or both. But never once ska.
This is from 1978, 2-Tone didn't take off until 1979. I'd say reggae was the influence as the genre led by Bob Marley had become huge and The Police weren't the only band influenced as in 1977 The Clash covered Police and Thieves
and even a mainstream act like 10CC had a go at reggae in 1978 with one of the biggest hits of the period with Dreadlock Holiday.
We had a band from near me who released one of the best albums of 1980, UB40s Signing Off album...people forget how good a reggae band they were before they started doing all that commercial crap.
@@ivanjulian2532 THEE Ivan Julian? Guitarist with the Voidoids? ROCK!!! In any case, Sting IS wearing an (English) Beat tshirt in the video for "Don't Stand So Close to Me", so he was into or at least very aware of the 2-Tone ska scene by their 3rd album, and he HAD to have been aware of it before then, as those bands made national news. All of this happened in the space of the same 2-3 years.
"...but I'm too full to swallow my pride."
I love that line. One of my all-time favorite lyrics from a Police song.
Great video, guys!🎵🎶
You can pick the genres without a problem now and what is impressive is the musical knowledge you have acquired. You guys have come on a hell of a journey and we appreciate the respect you show our music.
They keep saying reggae where they should be saying ska.
@@gregclarke2183 Doesn't ska have a reggae sound with a horn section? Like the Mighty Mighty Bosstones and Reel Big Fish maybe an early No Doubt come to mind for me I think of ska, but it could also be in the tempo of the guitars I'm not sure.
@@rattnroll84 horns aren’t necessary. And, yes, it’s mostly, but not strictly, about tempo.
Reggae is more than just “slow ska”, but shares many things, since reggae was created by ska musicians.
Listen to the Slackers…they’re a fantastic NYC ska band, who’ve been playing since the early 90’s.
My fav band are Canadian ska legends, the Planet Smashers.
RBF and the Bosstones are great too.
And if you want ska/punk, Goldfinger are imo the best.
Quit splitting hairs. At least Jay didn't call it soft Rock or something goofy like he tends to do
@@andrew348 it’s not about splitting hairs…it’s about me asking and begging them to listen to ska for well over a year (probably closer to 2).
Ska has been around since the late 50’s, and has influenced much. Most of what people think is “like reggae” is actually ska. And there are great ska bands all over the world.
I’m just trying to get more people to listen to the type of music that I love the most.
its great watching you guys get into the genre changes in songs. the reggae vibe was huge in england in the late 70s. the specials 'a message to you rudy'. madness 'baggy trousers', 'night boat to cairo' and amber gets her horns in the song 'one step beyond' ✌️
A message to you Rudy, and One Step Beyond are both ska covers of ska songs from the 60’s.
All reggae is ska, but not all ska is reggae.
The Clash did a copy of Police and Thieves on their debut album. Stiff little Fingers did Johnny Was on their debut Album.
Bob Marley did a song called punky reggae party as well.
@@twatinahatsmith7428 did you know that Bob Marley started out with ska music?
Then he, and others, used the basics of ska, to create reggae, rocksteady, and dub.
@gregclarke2183 I was aware of the fact, but at the same time not aware of his influence of it, thank you.
It did start getting popular with punk/new wave fans. The Police definitely took some influence.
@@twatinahatsmith7428 absolutely, the Police have a ska influence.
Punk and ska have been intertwined since their beginnings, due to the similar stance against “the man”.
Though ska is more about racial (and general) equality, where punk is more about “eat the rich” and F the system.
Sting "FORTRESS AROUND YOUR HEART" ("option two" is the best video-quality version). This is my FAVORITE song of his ever. Sting even said it's his favorite of all he's done. ❤❤❤
Yes!!!
Mine too!
Agree!
Great reaction to their song off their first album. I'm surprised that you haven't reacted to many Sting solo songs like "If You Love Somebody, Set Them Free", "Fortress Around Your Heart", "The Seventh Wave", "All This Time", and Grammy winning "If I Ever Lose My Faith In You". Thanks.😎
"Fortress Around Your Heart" is a fantastic choice.
"Fortress around your heart" is AMAZING!!! Sting even said it's his favorite he's done. ❤❤❤
“Fortress Around Your Heart” is an absolutely beautiful song! “The Soul Cages” is great as well.
All turntable enthusiasts should use this song as a stereo tester. As well as " maureen" by Sade, "right next door because of me"by Robert Cray and " elegant gypsy" by AL Dimeola
Stuart Copeland was the driving force behind The Police. He is a student of world percussion and rhythms, middle eastern, native american and island styles. It really made their sound so interesting.
One of the coolest bands ever - Time to hear "Don't Stand So Close to Me" and Synchronicity II.
Police had such a unique sound for the late 70’s early 80’s. All three were incredibly talented musicians, but the drummer Stewart Copland is part of the (my) Holy Trinity of drummers of that day and age, being Stewart Copeland, John Bonham (Led Zep) and Neil Peart (Rush), in no particular order.
Dude! You took the words right out of my mouth!!!
Short, strong list. NICE👍
I’m so lucky I lived in a time that Sting and The Police were making music.
As you dig further into the catalog of the Police, you will find more golden gems.
DEMOLITION MAN,
INVISIBLE SUN,
WHEN THE WORLD IS RUNNING DOWN, YOU MAKE THE BEST OF WHAT'S STILL AROUND,
CANARY IN A COALMINE.
The influence of Reggae was more noticeable on their first three studio albums, as is the influence of jazz that Sting loves so dearly.
On his solo recordings, like his first single IF YOU LOVE SOMEBODY SET THEM FREE, it sets his imagination aflight without the constraints of the band he left behind.
BE STILL MY BEATING HEART,
COWBOY SONG,
WHEN WE DANCED,
and my personal favorite from the Lethal Weapon 3 soundtrack
IT'S PROBABLY ME, with Eric Clapton, Michael Kamen, and David Sanborn reflecting Sting at the top of his game. His years serving the Police force were amazing. But moving on from the band was necessary for him in order to create without restraint music more sophisticated to nourish and satisfy not only himself but his audience. Enjoy
Definitely WHEN THE WORLD IS RUNNING DOWN, YOU MAKE THE BEST OF WHAT'S STILL AROUND
@@willstonexxx Lol, I only picked "Driven to Tears" because I didn't want to type that whole title. But it's a close call either way, IMO.
And I don't see enough reccs for "Murder by Numbers" which makes me sad.
@@Jessica_Roth I copy and pasted it from the comment above!
oh man, I have not listened to Demolition Man in years, gonna crank it to 11 after this video :)
I have to disagree here. As Noel Gallagher once said, The Police were more of a singles band than an album band. And I have to agree.
A lot of their songs sounded the same and they’ve been overplayed over the years to the point where a lot of people are sick of hearing them.
Which is unfortunate because in moderation they’ve recorded some good songs.
I remember buying every album the Police put out and marveling at the quantum leaps they made musically from album to album. I hadn't heard anything like that since the Beatles growth. As an aside, the very first record I ever bought with my own hard earned allowance was Meet the Beatles lol.
Really? Every album sounded the same to me. That’s why they are a more of a Best Of… band than an album band.
Their first album was flawless. Thanks for giving the other band members the credit they deserve
The Police are one of those few bands that don't have a bad album. Mind you, they broke up before they had a chance to.
The Police are always amazing!!You guys ALWAYS make me smile!! Thank you!!
Bring on the Night is the ultimate Police song. Highlights all of their strenghts. Stings vocal and cool bass riffs, Andy's nifty arpeggio and up shift to bright reggae and of course Stewarts' subtle high hat trickery and intricate drumming...all together its the quintessential Police track.
Great film.
For your next Sting solo reaction.. I would love it to be "Fortress Around Your Heart". It was his first solo single and it was incredibly awesome 💯
May I suggest The Beat, one of Sting’s favourite bands from their time..Drowning, Mirror In The Bathroom, Save It For Later, can’t get used to losing you ❤
My favourite ska band! 😍❤️
Saw The Police in 1982....I was 16.... wish it was 1982 again.
Three very accomplished musicians who came together for a short time and made five amazing albums. They grew with each one. Give a listen to Voices Inside My Head, Invisible Sun, Walking In Your Footsteps, King Of Pain and Tea In The Sahara when you are ready. You might also like Murder By Numbers which was added to the Synchronicity album when they put out the CD.
As a young teenager at the height of The Police's stardom (early 80s), I was so amazed that just 3 guys could produce this sound! Just amazing and gifted musicians!!!!
Great track from Outlandos D'Amour. When I bought that album in 1978, I played it to death. I still have it and still play it to this day.
The classic! First album, with the heavy reggae influence. And love those lyrics!
More Police? Heck yeah! They only had five albums, but five masterpieces. In order
Outlandos d' Amour (1978) "Next to You"
Regatta de Blanc (1979) "Bed's Too Big Without You"
Zenyatta Mondatta (1980) "Driven to Tears"
Ghost in the Machine (1981) "Invisible Sun"
Synchronicity (1983) "Synchronicity II"
My choice would be either "Next to You" or "Synchronicity II", but they're all good.
I have always the vocal harmonies at the end of this song! Hard not to pick a harmony and join in every time I hear it.
I love The Police and this song is amazing! ❤
In my opinion, Synchronicity II is their most complex song with incredibly intelligent lyrics. I love other songs more but it the song is a The Police masterpiece.
I was 9 when I heard this song and loved it! It might still be my favourite Police song even though there’s a lot of competition. Love seeing you two chair grooving ❤️
I literally grew up with the Police albums of the 80s - on vinyl - and listening back now to this one, something that comes up for me is of course the fact that Stewart Copeland is one of the best rock drummers in history. PERIOD. But on this song Sting's bass playing is often overlooked - just phenomenal. Oh yeah - and of course they're funky....
The Police! Heavy ska and reaggae influences. Great band and catalog. Lot of punky bands had reagge influences especially in their drum beats, jumpy lead guitar, and bass guitars.. In the UK, many punk bands and reggae/ska bands hung out at same underground clubs and infused influences on each other. In those days, reaggae, ska and punk was kind of underground. So they would book venues together at underground clubs, shared the same audience over time. Thats where you get a lot of ska punk from. The Clash is similar to The Police.
You have to remember, lot of Carribbeans migrated to the UK at the time. Bringing over their music.
The Police and The Cars got me believing in rock music again in the 80's ..there was some doubt for me after the Brilliant 70's.
There's a reason Stewart Copeland and Neil Peart admired each other.
One of the best sentences in a song - "and you'll be sorry when I am dead, and all that guilt will be on your head!"
I love this, there's one song from this period of the police I haven't seen your reaction yet "The Beds Too Big Without You." Every time my wife was out of town "the beds too big without you" song pops into my head.
As suggested in the comments, you should definitely listen to Walking on the Moon (from the Reggatta de Blanc album). Fun song, great guitar, and some of the most incredible hi-hat playing ever!
They used the instrumental break or B - part as a launching pad for long live improvisations, which eventually became the title song of the next album, "Reggatta De Blanc".
Clicked on notification bell and RSR's got this song- which I've always held very dear. And now even more than ever as several hours ago my dad died. Appreciate the selection and peace to all and to all of your loved ones.
Thank you for featuring another brilliant song by The Police! For some amazing Stewart Copeland solo drum work, I suggest “ Don’t Box Me In” with Stan Ridgeway. Copeland scored it for the movie “Rumble Fish.”
I remember how this sound of mixing Reggae and Rock was a nuclear blast in the music world. A lot of bands copped that sound...even RUSH did!! But to be truthful RUSH did it first at the end of "Spirit Of The Radio", but it was a small bit. The Police made it just ONE key factor to their sound...
One of my top 3 songs by The Police. Their first 3 albums are the best!
this is an excellent song- well done you two, looking forward to 500K soon
One of my favorites from them. Thank you. Stuart Copeland is so good, so good at drums.
Regards!!!
Great pick. One of my favourite bands ever! ❤🇦🇷
Out of all the great songs The Police have in their catalog my favorite song is ( Ring Around My Finger)
I recommend that you hear Sting's "Brand New Day" from 1999 (about 20 years after we first heard him). I go back to it over and over again after all these years. And, oh yeah, that is Stevie Wonder on the harmonica and he sounds great.
Two of my favourite song by sting is They Dance Alone and I was Brought to my senses, i grew up listening to sting introduced hy my dad and i fell in love w his music even until now
I love Stewart Copeland's work as Producer on the Primus album "Antipop" especially for the song "Dirty Drowning Man", which also gives me a kind of Police vibe with the sound of the bass, guitars, and drumming.
Love It, and Hope to See Lots More of The Police and/or Sting! I've seen You Guys are getting closer & closer to 500k! Great Reaction, like usual, You Guys! :)
One of my all-time favorite songs from Police. Have the album....play it a lot.😊
Reggae dominated The Police's early work so-much-so that they called they're style of music white reggae. One of their early albums was called "Reggatta de Blanc".
Musically this was always my fav Police song. And yes, they started as a reggae punk band. Copeland is such a genius with his drum rhythms - in every song! Most underrated drummer ever.
Every little thing she does is magic, walking in your footsteps, so much to choose from. One of the bands that shaped the childhood of the 80s generation
I bought this as a double A side 45, with Roxanne on the other side in about 1981. 2 classics.
So great. Great band, great song. A definite favorite Police tune for me. My Dad loved them when he saw them with me in 1980. 💜💜💜
One of the most popular ska bands ever. You should listen to The Specials... a band Copeland was influenced heavily by (Pressure Drop, You're Wondering now).
Check out their hit "Synchronicity II".
One of the most incredible drummers ever.
My favourite line is"and your brother's gonna kill me and he's 6 feet 10".!!
Stewart Copeland is a very interesting guy. He is an American, but he grew up in Egypt and Lebanon -- where his father was a spy for the OSS and CIA. Then, later, his family moved to London. His father, Miles Copeland Jr., was originally in the OSS but became one of the first members of the CIA. Stewart's brother, Miles Copeland III was a music executive, who founded the record label IRS Records (which became The Police's label), and was also the band's manager. Stewart's other brother, Ian Copeland was a music booking agent, who also worked with The Police.
Thanks guys! Hey someone in a similar vein to the Police (at least in their sentiments) are Split Enz. Be great to see you react to one of their songs. "Dirty Creature" and "One Step Ahead" are both pretty cool. But pick a track, any track. Can't go wrong.
One of my favorite songs, by my favorite band. Stewart Copeland is the GOAT.
These two should get a degree for what they've learnt about past music. Amber's knowledge is impressive.
Haha, Sting with his oversized Harry Potter glasses. Synchronicity 2, King Of Pain, Invisible Sun, Don't Stand So Close To Me, are a few more to react to.
Most drummers either open or close the hi-hat. Stewart has the ability to show a 1000 different variations of open/ close shimmer and different stick volumes
Great song, plus that whole album is great.
Stuart Copeland is a drum god to many drummers and fans. Andy Summers is an excellent riff meister who has been playing guitar since the 60s.
Amber & Jay, yes 👍 definitely u guys need to do more Police 👮♂ Music 🎶 videos. Sting 🦂 is the lead singer 👩🎤 of the Police 👮♂. Here R some videos that U guys have to react. 3)Don't Stand So Close To Me; 4)So Lonely; 5)De Do Do Do, De Da Da Da; 7)King 👑 Of Pain; 8)Spirits In The Material World 🌍; 9)Synchronicity II; 10)Invisible Sun ☀; 11) When the World 🌍 Is Running 🏃♀ Down 👎 You Make the Best of What's Still Around; 12)Wrapped Around Your Fingers (My Favorite Police 👮♂ Song That U Guys Need To React.). Sting also went n had a solo career. Here R his hits. 1)Desert Rose; 2)All This Time; 3)Englishman In New York; 4)The Dance Alone (Cueca Solo); 5)Love Is The Seventh Wave; 6)Brand New Day; 7)Children's Crusade; 8)Russians; 9)If You Love Somebody Set Them Free; 10)Little Wing (Live) Sting was singing in Spanish; 11)Fortress Around Your Heart; 12)We Work The Black Seam Together; 13)Por Su Amor featuring a guy name Kurt; 14)We'll Be Together; 15)If I Ever Lose My Faith In You; 16)When We Dance.

This is such a fantastic yet vastly underrated song!! I've always loved it and from back then to now - it has remained in my top 7 or 8 Police songs!!
Amber and J ... I'm so so glad you reacted to this awesome tune!! Thank you ❤
@RobSquadReactions
Another great track which is overlooked is “beds too big without you” killer bass line. Keep up the good work guys 👍
Message In The Bottle live version Stewart Copeland !!!!!!
Once heard a DJ say "Three mad music professors ... Call The Police ...these guys are dangerously cool."
This and Roxanne were banned by the BBC in the UK. This because of singing about suicide. In the end both were big hits in the UK charts.
This is actually my favorite by them.
In that era the Brits were heavy into Reggae and the 2nd wave/Ska music. English Beat, The Specials and even the Clash (not on American radio though) had a lots of those beats.
At this time, multicultural Britain was seeing the influence on music of bands from multicultural neighbourhoods.
The Police , UB40, Elvis Costello and The Two Tone movement ( The Specials, The Beat, Bad Manners, The Selector, The Bodysnatchers & Madness . )
My favorite Police song.
You guys slowly are growing on me i love your style🎉❤ great reaction!
The police was such an amazing influential band. I saw Sting solo but wished I could have seen the police.
You should react to Synchronicity I and II and When The World Is Running Down.
You gotta react to their more harder stuff like DRIVEN TO TEARS, SYNCHRONICITY I & II. These guys could do it all.
this is one favorite groups from the eighties sting one best to ever here to play on stage miss this sounds and time is was mind blowing time you had be around then to feel and know i mean.
The story goes that after Zenyatta Mondatta's release someone gave Sting a copy of Men at Work's "Who Can It Be Now" pointing out the obvious similarities toThe Police. Sting, clever boy he is, said "ok...enough of that" and gradually eliminated reggae from their sound. Ghost In the Machine has just a touch of Caribbean rhythms on a couple of the songs , and Synchronicity has none!
Amazingly so, Rush were listening to a lot of The Police at the time and both Permanent Waves "Spirit of Radio" and Moving Pictures "Vital Signs" show the reggae influence of the Police.
Thanks for giving props to Andy Summers!
Another great song with amazing instrumental arrangements and VERY dark lyrics is Murder by Numbers!!
I like the Police's "CANARY IN A COAL MINE" from 1980. Not sure if anyone else even remembers that one.
Great song by The Police!
Don’t worry you will have 500k this week and you will go on to make 1 million before too long. You are such a sweet couple who deserve everything you can get. Have a blessed day!!!🙏
This was their second single, after Roxanne. Their first 2 albums had a lot of reggae tinged songs. Their second album is called Reggata de Blanc, a corruption of "White Reggae". If you want to hear them do R&B, check out When the World Is Running Down You Make The Best Of What's Still Around.
Sting, Stuart and Andy…. The Police more please, much more!!
The police was the first album I ever bought. You guys should try Ian Dury and The Blockheads for something different.
Great suggestion! They should react to "Sex & Drugs & Rock & Roll"
They have reviewed Ian Dury
I have heard this song played hundreds of times on the radio, maybe thousands of times, but only now, and maybe because I'm wearing headphones and paying attention rather than just hearing it against the noise of the car and traffic, only now am I hearing chords that I didn't expect. This is way more complex than I realized. I would love it if someone could point me to someone, like Rick Beato or that ilk, who's done a breakdown of this song, because now I'm really curious as to what chords and progressions I'm listening to here.
My brother is a professional musician, I am not. The pro musicians that I’ve known all agree that the drummer can make or break you as a band. The police are the perfect example of 2 fairly talented guys coming together with a musical genius. The amount of music that Stuart Copeland has written and continues to compose is astounding.
The telephone is ringing... is that my mother on the phone? MOTHER!!!!!
They used to play the chorus of this song at the arena when the final buzzer sounded at an Orlando Magog loss.
The Police "DON'T STAND SO CLOSE TO ME"
There is only one best drummer ever, Neil Peart, but after him there are about 5 or 6 others that I would say are all tied for 2nd. Stewart Copeland is one of them. He has so much creativity and variety in his style.
I disagree.
