The drummer, Stewart Copeland, is considered one of the top and most influential drummers of his generation.
Incredibly SKILLED at his craft!! 🙌
He totally is!!!!
Stuart Copeland is my absolute favourite drummer of all time.
Also wrote expletives on his drum skins to stop overhead videos be shot. He didn't want his technical abilities dissected.!!!
For those interested, Rick Beato just released a very good interview with him.
The Police have a lot of hits. I'd recommend; So Lonely, Walking on the Moon, Don't Stand So Close to Me, Synchronicity II, Every Little Thing She Does is Magic.
Can't Stand Losing You, and its cover by Steel Pulse
Don’t Stand So Close To Me is so good
You have to include Roxanne as well. It is in Losing it after all. And it is Roxanne.
How do you leave Roxanne off this list lol 😂
Song to react to… Brand New Day by Sting
"Every breath you take" and "Roxanne" also good.
The jazz version of Roxanne by Sting ♥ my favorite version
Roxanne ❤
I feel another rabbit hole forming 😊. I grew up listening to the Police, joy Division, scritty politi to name a few happy days. 🙏❤️
Whenever you listen to the Police, pay attention to the drummer. No one works the cymbals and snare quite like that guy.
The best drumming ever
Black P. You will recognize “Every Breath You Take,” because Diddy used the sample. Other than that, every single they released is fire!
And diddy is paying sting millions upon millions, This every year because of it
Every song from the 70's and 80's is stolen, sampled, copied in today's music. Is sampling music a talent???
"Sample" lol plagiarism more like.
@@KozueMegami well, yeah! As long as he is paying Sting to use it then it’s okay. Artists do that all the time. Heck, The Verve hardly makes a penny off their biggest song due to using the better part of a Rolling Stones song with their permission.
@@mattsmith5609 if you get permission from the artist, or if you keep the sample short enough, it would not be considered stealing. There are many artists that are very talented with the use of samples. Ren, himself, uses samples at times and they are so beautifully incorporated into his song that you barely realize they are part of another song.
Let's not forget that the silly drummer, Stewart Copeland, is a real beast at the drums (Top10/100 - Rolling Stone Magazine) and has composed a lot music/soundtracks for well known movies after the unfortunate breakup of The Police ...
Nice reaction as well!
and now composing Operas. Copeland is a beast!
He’s a top guy. He’s just done an incredible interview with Rick Beato, it’s here on UA-cam. Rick has interviewed all 3 members of The Police in the last few months.
As much as I agree and love Copeland and The Police as a band, let's not use Rolling Stone as a parameter.
So many gems to choose from, 'Roxanne', 'Walking on the Moon', 'Wrapped around your finger', 'Every breath you take', Don't stand too close to me" to name a few.
I will die on the hill that GenX still grew up with the most diverse and greatest music ever. My playlist round the time this was dropped and added to it.........Van Halen, Men At Work, ACDC, Afrikka Bambatta, Public Enemy, Depeche Mode, The Cure, Circle Jerks, Suicidal Tendencies, Jodie Fosters Army aka JFA, Minor Threat. Yep that was my playlist around this time frame. I've always loved all the music of GenX.
Totally agree. I was into late 60s stuff like Iron Butterfly. classic rock 70's, hair metal, 80's pop. I could be listening to Metallica or Culture Club. The music was so diverse.
Yes! So true!!
Dont worry buddy, pretty much all older people die on the hill that the music of their generation was the greatest ever. its like a natural law, that only few are able to break.
not to mention Genx brought you everything from W.A.S.P. to Keith Sweat. Biggie and Pac, both gone way too soon. Not boomers or Millennials, they are GenX. Corey Taylor from Slipknot and Stone Sour....GenX. Maynard James Keenan from Tool, Puscifer, Perfect Circle...GenX.@@smilie-pm9gb
Love me some 80s music I a Big Van Halen Fan !!!! RIP. Eddie!!!!
Ooh....The Police....you have my attention! 🔥
ONLY 70s Police 4 me thnx . Same 4 Toto. Blondie .Areosmith. van Halen. Queen Acdc ,SuperTramp, Styx The 70s BABY,
The Police are an amazing band. I grew up listening to them. Every single they released was fire. Sting has a fantastically mellifluous voice, but Stuart Copeland’s drumming is truly genius he writes and composes brilliant music for movies too. Andy Summers is a very original guitar player who has a great deal of emotion in his way of playing, whilst keeping the punkiness in his style. Most people know tracks from the Outlandos D’Amour and Reggatta De Blanc albums, but my favourite album is Ghost In The Machine specifically the track Spirits In The Material World. My favourite single is Roxanne and this track Message In A Bottle.
By the time the Police released Every Breath You Take they were one of the biggest bands in the world, selling out stadiums globally. This was off their second album when they were still a punk/reggae/new wave fusion. LOVED this period of the band.
They were the biggest band period my man- they were the Beatles of 1980s. They had the biggest tour till that time… Synchroncity was a massive successful album and tour
You should check out some Two Tone (UK Ska, fusion of post-punk british music and Jamaican Ska) from the late 70s, a band to checkout is 'The Specials' and song suggestions 'Gangsters', 'A Message to You, Rudy', 'Too Much to Young' and 'Ghost Town'. You can hear the The Special influences in some of Ren's music. The Police and The Clash where around the same time when they started :)
Absolutely. The Specials. RIP Terry.
The beat too.
100% I love the Specials! I was born during their heyday, so I didn't 'discover' them until much later in life, but once I caught on, they became one of my all-time favorite groups. I was also fortunate enough to see their reunion tours after I'd already become a huge fan. They didn't disappoint live either. There are so many great tracks to choose from! Ghost Town, Do Nothing, It's Later Than You Think, Blank Expression, A Message To You Rudy, Too Much Too Young, Doesn't Make It Alright, You're Wondering Now... They are not only ska gods but just great musicians regardless. I highly recommend them.
The Selecter "Too much pressure ", "On my radio"
The drummer flat out says they took from The Specials as they were big fans. I think it was during an interview with Elvis Costello.
Interesting fact about them; Sting was the band’s song writer. Sting is so talented that he would create these songs by himself, play the bass, guitar and drums as well as sing the songs, record them, then hold on to them until the band was ready to drop another album. Stew said he would hear Sting’s recordings and be like, “he didn’t even need us. By the time Andy and I heard the song it was already good enough to release”. Of course Sting didn’t do that and re-recorded his songs with the band until he was ready to leave them and become a solo artist… and history has shown just how successful he became on his own. The guy is like a musical freak of nature. SOOO talented
Punk+reggae=The Police
+jazz
It’s called “Ska”.
Ska
Not punk.
@@georgeglasser8220 haha
Stewart is the wizard
His hi hat work is second to none
King of pain, hauntingly beautiful.
"Every Breath You Take" their biggest hit or Synchronicity 2 is also an epic track worth listening to.
The most played on song to date with 15 million+ plays… It is one of the biggest streaming legacy song on Spotify and with over 1 billion views on UA-cam
Amazing 3 piece band. Stewart Copeland is the drummer and he is one of the best ever. He's does a lot of composing now. Sting playing bass and singing...that ain't easy. And Andy Summers, great guitarist. All so accomplished. You really should listen to more of their stuff - they were highly influenced by Reggae and you can hear it in a lot of their early songs. Their biggest hit is Every Breath You Take but I would definitely not start there. Don't Stand So Close to Me, Walking on the Moon, Roxanne are just the 1st three I'd suggest for you. Then moving onto to some of their "later" stuff like Synchronicity. IT's a great band to discover and I'm a little jealous that you get to hear all for the first time :) Have fun!
Saw Sting back in college when he was touring for his first solo album. One of the best live shows I’ve ever seen. Non stop energy for 2 hours straight. And Mister Mister opened the show.
Fyi, the drummer is Stewart Copeland. He's also an amazing composer for movie soundtracks, including "Wall Street" and "Rumble Fish"
I bought a bunch of 80s soundtracks this week, and he’s got a song on the Texas Chainsaw Massacre 2 soundtrack. It’s also featured on the blu-ray menu somewhere on the new 4K release.
@gvehar he also did the soundtrack for the 1990 Charlie Sheen Emilio Estavez action comedy "Men At Work"
I saw that when I was looking at the other soundtracks! I didn’t buy it though as I don’t remember the soundtrack to that one very much. Let’s not forget he also went solo under the alias Klark Kent. I always liked his song Don’t Care.
Do you think Cobain got Smells Like Teen Spirit riff from Rumblefish? The music in Dennis Hopper’s first scene….
@@rognroll2786 I think he got smells like teen spirit from more than a feeling
5 albums from The Police (75 million in sales)...The bassist, Sting, is on of the best song writers. All three members are amazing. Rick Beato interviewed them one at a time. GREAT in depth info to The Police.
YESSS!!!! I love this band. Hit these ones. Walking On the Moon, So Lonely and Bring On the Night.
Synchronicity II is probably my favorite song, but then I'm always happy to hear Every Little Thing She Does is Magic. And there's a dozen other songs in between. 😊
Much love from Maine and keep doin what ya do ❤
Stewart Copeland ( the drummer who is american ) founded and named the band , probably inspired by his brother Miles III ( who became their manager ) and his father Miles who was a CIA agent."message in a bottle" was their first hit in Europe , back in 1980 and was from their 2nd LP "Reggata de Blanc" released in 1979 ; hits like "Roxanne" , "can't stand losing you" or "so lonely" hit the charts afterward although they were re-issued from their first LP "Outlandos d'Amour" in 1978
Miles started a record label didn’t he.
@@fayesouthall6604yep "IRS Records"
All 3 artists in The Police, Andy, Stewart and Sting are master class musicians in their own right, combined in this jammin band was extraordinary. They were HUGE in my late teens high-school and college. I even saw Sting's Dream of the Blue Turtles Tour. Awesomeness
Sting, Stewart, Andy, The Police, there will never be another band like them!!! So talented, all three of them! ROAXNE was their 1st Biggest Hit! Funny it was released and didn’t do much, a year/two later it was reintroduced and it went to the top of the charts.
The green room in the video is in "The Glasgow Apollo" in Scotland. I was at the gig and my twin worked as the Manager of the TV Station restaurant manger in "The Scottish Television Studios" across from the venue. I still have the signed pic of Sting which he gave to my Twin signed by Sting, Andy and Stewart.
The police were one of the biggest bands ever- they ruled the 80s
And where very good in the 70s ,DONT 4 GET
one of the best drummers of all time Stuart copeland his snare pops like no other.. and his style is unique....
I’d have to agree with most Wrapped around your finger or Don’t stand so close are also great songs
45 years old!!!!! 1979. We had good stuff. I think their first big song was "Roxeanne". They were totally unique. No one sounded like them. I know you have to know "Every Breath You Take" it's timeless, from 1983. Video is black and white, Diddy sampled it, but The Police are a classic early 80s rock/post punk band.
Brilliant band. Copeland 's drumming is awesome.
They blew up as a pop, radio, MTV band. Such interesting influences: jazz (Sting’s roots), Ska (Copeland’s beat), guitar riffs (Summers’ many adds). They reached across to alternative, rock crowds, too. And, as a three piece, had a huge sound for arenas.
I had a cassette player in my car way back in the day, and I would blast the Police (and other mix tapes) when I hit the road to see America on my first vacation as an 18 year old adult. One of the (many) best times of my life!
The Police are Legendary. ❤ i Love Stewart Copeland on them Drums!💪🏽
So glad you did this one, I’m 24, portuguese, and my dad always showed me The Police and Sting while growing up, these are really special ❤️
Your dad is passing on his musical interest to you 🥰 very sweet
This music brings back such great memories. In the mid 80's I met a boy from another town while our families were on summer vacation. All year we mailed a cassette tape back and forth thru the snail mail and each one of us would add recordings to it. It was loaded with songs from the Police.
Can't Go Wrong With The Police, Pure Quality In Abundance .
ALL THREE of these guys are JUST MASTERFUL at their craft!! ...and, I think you HAVE to be when you only have three people in your band!! Sting's vocals and bass....Andy' Summers guitar riffs...and, Stewart Copeland's FANTASTIC drumming....this band was FIRE!!! ...and, I still don't know any other band that has their sound, really.....ENJOY, BP!!! :) HUGS!
This was always one of my favorites thanks for reacting 🕊💙🕊💙
Stewart Copeland is one of the most skilled drummers of all time. 🙌
Roxanne, Every breath you take, walking on the moon and so many others. Honestly I love all their songs. I would listen to their albums without ever skipping a song.
You MUST know some songs by The Police. You know. LOLOL
I LOVE Sting since I was a kid. My mom listened to The Police and Sting and I just fell in love with him. He really is music genius.
This whole album, Regatta De Blanc is awesome.
Fun facv is also that as Sting is English, Steward Copeland this one of the best drummers ever AND ALSO PLAYING DRUMS IN THIS 'TRADITIONAL WAY', IS FROM USA AND HE WAS THE ONE WHO WANTED TO FIND OTHER MEMBERS AND FOUND STING as Steward wanted to form a different kind of rock band. And their first hit 'Roxanne' surely was something new and as the main melody may sound quite simple, that song evolves to the last second.
I don't just appreciate your take but I'm 60. Your take on this took me to the next level! I've always loved it but you made me realize why! Thank you.
Stewart Copeland is a god! It was filmed at The Lyceum in London, a 200 year theatre which became a big gig and club venue in the 70s and 80s, now the London theatre home of The Lion King, the musical. The Police song 'Every Little Thing She Does Is Magic' is always worth a watch/listen. Stewart Copeland is a god in that one too!
Their first hit was "Roxanne" in 1978. Eddie Murphy was singing it in 48 Hrs.
I love seeing people reacting to music outside of their comfort zones and experiencing more than just what they are used to. I am lucky in that I grew up in different parts of the country with many different friends with different tastes in music. I grew up in Texas and was exposed to country, grew up in Washington at the height of grunge, grew up in a Christian household that (at the house) was only exposed to either Christian music or Oldies (50s-70s), grew up in the 80s listening to timeless songs from that decade. All music should be experienced and celebrated. Keep up the wonderful work.
Another to check out is Paulo Nutini - Iron Sky Amazing song with a real message.
Was able to see them live on the Synchronicity Tour around 1985. Love their music. I had a cool 10th grade English teacher, Mr. Appleton. He let us study the lyrics to many of their Synchronicity album songs in class. Epic!!
Great to see you diving into one of Ren's heavier influences - they are great, but Sting is a living legend
another classic Police song is "Walking on the moon" definitely worth hearing to see how Reggae creeps into the music and another enriching Ren puzzle-piece :)
Most rappers don't like listening to the Police much. BP breaking the mold. 😂
Love your music journey and here for it. Keep rocking and rapping!
This is from their 2nd album. Their first hit was probably 'Roxanne', but they have a string of hits. You'll probably recognise 'Every Breath You Take' from it being sampled by Puff Daddy.
A lot of different sounds in their songs ranging from punk to rock, and love to incorporate reggae in there too throughout their existence.
In my opinion one of the greatest songs of all time. Religiously listened to this when was young. That bass is epic.
This song shows how The Police are the masters of repeating at the end of songs.
I can listen to them ending a song for another minute or five. Such skilled musicians. Each repetition is so different!
🎧 💓 🎶
The Police are one of the Best bands Ever. Deal with it
And from the late 70s like this song
Number 1 for them in Britain, after quite a tough period trying to get attention. Kind of lumped in with post-punk or even the ska movement, despite not coming from that background at all. Guitarist Andy Summers was essentially a jazzer from the 1960s finding fame after some years. In a short period of time they seemed to become the biggest act in Britain and then the world.
Im from 83 so i was young but my dad played The police's songs and it one of the bands that have stuck with me and bring back so many memorry's.
WALKING ON THE MOON is another fantastic one by them.
Was lucky enough to see their reunion tour about 20 years ago. My first ever rock concert. Remember being amazed how three guys could totally enthral a stadium full of people. The drummer played a contraption made of hanging bottles and other stuff (hope I remember this right), for "Caravan" I think - it was magical.
This song made such an impact upon its release. Nothing like it had been heard before.
“Roxanne” was their first big song (It wasn't their first single, but it was the song that got them really well known), and in the same year (1978) they released "Can't stand losing you", which was another really popular, big song by them. It's hard to actually say what their biggest song was, they had so many massive ones, but those 2 will def be on anyone's list of big Police tunes.
Personally I really love "Walking on the Moon"
The Police were amazing, a huge part of my younger years.
Eddie Murphy "48hrs" "Roxanne" Police Classic
Wow this takes me back ❤Thanks B.P
isn't it wonderful? Same here. I'm fifteen all over again - Thanks B.P.
I'm sure you're familiar with "I'll be missing you" by Puff, Faith Evans, 112; that song samples "Every Breath You Take" by The Police. I've listened to The Police for years but till now didn't realize how much you can hear the inspiration in Ren's style. Keep up the great content BP.
hi, it says you commented 15h ago. to me it was published 1h ago! what is your spell? adrian c from germany
@@AC-dn7yqsubscribers get early access
Walking on the moon is my favourite and Roxanne
We might as well be living on another planet now when you compare mainstream music today with the past, we are now a different species.
I loved these growing up. Quadraphinia was on our video recorders for years. My mum brought me up dancing around the house to ska, rock, reggae, soul, Motown. Our home was built around good tunes 👌🏻
'Roxanne' was there first big song after being re-issued in 1979 reached No.12 in the UK charts, but 'Message in a Bottle' was their first UK chart No.1
WALKING ON THE MOON
Favorite song of all time. Message is up there and Regatta has perhaps their best ones too. Love The Police. Stewart Copleand is god
HUGE catalogue
Roxanne one of the first big hits
Don't Stand So Close to Me
Every Little Thing She Does is Magic
Synchronicity 1 and 2
Every Breath You Take
Wrapped Around Your Finger
(this last one is where you can really tell Sting used to be an English teacher... who else would reference the Scylla and Charybdis in a rock and roll song?)
The name was because they came up in a punk rock scene. Other popular punk band names that look great on a flyer: "Free Beer", TBA, and "Millions of Dead Cops".
Yes its a f... to authority, no love for the state, because its absolutely not ok to love a state, especially not nato-states...
If you listen to Roxanne, you can hear the influence on Ren's vocal technique in Screech's Tale when he sings the line "Screech, dear boy, WHERE DID HE GO?" ❤
I was lucky enough to see The Police 3 times here in Australia. The first two times at a average sized venue. The third and last time was an outdoor arena style venue on their farewell tour in 1983. It was an all day event with 6 other support acts.
I love you too react to Roxanne which I would say was their breakout song. Possibly their biggest hit that you may even recognise is Don't Stand So Close To Me. But that's one of many hits the Police had in their fairly short existence as a band.
Saw the Police live in New Zealand in the 70s. Absolutely epic.
Sting really was a teacher and apparently this song is based on his personal experience. The shirt he is wearing is 'The Beat' an English Ska band from the early 80s. You could check out 'Save it for Later' and 'Mirror in the Bathroom'.
Probably the best pop/rock band of all time imho. They really fill their own niche though because what are they? Pop? Rock? Punk? Reggae? World Beat? Sounds as fresh and unique today as it did when I first heard them. The Doors and Sublime are another two bands that capture that uniqueness, obviously very different bands, but all carved out their own little patch of ground I would say.
Every Breath You Take is an obvious suggestion but I won’t say why, I will leave that for you to experience when you listen to it and another suggestion is Roxanne as it’s the one Ren references in Losing It
I agree. I was also kicking up my heels in those days and "Roxanne" and "Every Breath you take" are the songs that made an American girl fall in love with an English band. I've followed Sting ever since and never been disappointed.
This the best band that put Rock and Reggie together so well
When I saw The Police in an open air concert in 1980, hundreds of plastic bottles where thrown in the air during this song, it was magical!
Absolutely they were on the come up. By the end to the 80s they were selling out everywhere. Their last album Synchronicity was one of the biggest selling albums of the decade.
Back in the day The Police were one of my Top 5 bands. I still have a resentment from Sting breaking up the band, there was no reason other than ego. The Police were a great band.
sting voice its the "reggae and Dub beat voice"... unique band. Believe me broh
OMG... I remember pogoing to this at my high school dance back in 79... Timeless
The Police are great. Brings back tons of memories.
Loved the police back in the day. Their first big song and my favourite song is Roxanne!
Such a great tune. Drummer is phenomenal!!!
Great tune to work out to.
Dude they have two dozen hits... Enjoy the journey!
The Police were my band, since 1978 as a music loving 15 year old ❤🎶
Classic! So good! I guess their biggest song would be “Every Breath You Take” or “Roxanne” I also like “King of Pain”. Thanks BP!❤️🔥✌🏻🫶🏻
Three piece of amazement. So much sound from only three dudes...
Roxanne...huge personal fav.from The Police
And he'll benefit from getting the reference in Ren's "Losing it"
I love this band !!!! There are a lot of these dudes songs you have got to check out !!
The Police ARE fire! You are correct. Always love hearing their musical creations. Thank you!
I am loving your discovery of all our great music!
You HAVE to listen to more of The Police. They were serious musicians, and the drummer is a hugely respected top drummer and composer. Then take a listen to some of Sting’s music as it is superb and so varied. His solo album Dream of the Blue Turtles is seriously different in styles and is fantastic. I have all the music both Police & Sting. He’s a storyteller writer. Some of his songs really go on a journey..
Three gifted musicians who produced so many iconic songs, whereas most bands don't have one
I love this song. Guitar hero bass life always.
One of my all time favorite bands. And as many have said, pay attention to Stewart Copeland’s masterful drumming. He’s one of my biggest influences on the drums 👍🏻
Sting is also an actor, he was in the original 1984 film Dune! Playing the lead character Feyd-Rautha Harkonnen. Sting didn't really want to be in Dune. He did not have blockbuster sci-fi acting ambitions, but was coaxed into the role by David Lynch, who had seen him in Brimstone and Treacle. “I'm doing Dune because of David Lynch and for no other reason,” Sting told Rolling Stone in a 1983 interview.
Yeah about that acting thing... perhaps he should not have done that movie 🤣
