Is it reggae rock? I definitely can see where you'd get that idea from due to the vibe of it. 80's music was definitely some of the more creative times in music and had some unique sounds being utilized especially instruments like synths that aren't really used after that time period. Random comment just vibing and getting some thoughts out. I love reggae especially groups like Steel Pulse just wish it was more extensive since the only really notable reggae artist is mostly Bob Marley. Dancehall is also alright but the culture of it isn't the greatest and can be occasionally hateful but I've heard some dancehall that I've enjoyed. Kind of getting carried away so I'll just it here. Haha. Peace.
This British band rocked the charts in their day . Stewart Copeland played drums with magic brilliance. Andy Summer’s played precision riffs. Sting played bass and sand lead vocals . They ruled MTV. My little kids and I would dance around the house to this catchy regee beat …so cool you are listening to one of the most influential bands of its time . Still is . This is pure talent .
Did you get tired of them? Overexposure made me dislike lots of songs. But not by the Police. Except maybe Every Breath You Take. In USA, I keep finding great UK bands from this era. But I've gotten much deeper into harsh diy stuff like Napalm Death, CRASS, etc. Btw you know Klark Kent? Stewart Copeland's solo alias from the late 70's!
Stewart Copeland is one of the best and most influential drummers of all time. All three of these guys influenced generations of musicians and songwriters.
The Police are legendary, they were 'IT' in the 80s. Roxanne, Every Little Thing She Does is Magic, Don't Stand So Close to Me, Every Breath You Take ( You will definitely recognize this one, a famous rap song used almost all the music from it)
The drummer is Stewart Copeland. He is one of the greatest rock drummers of all time. Many people don't appreciate him because he isn't flashy, but he lays down a fat groove with his own style. His playing is often very complex but it's subtle, he doesn't try to take over. It's cool you picked up on what he was doing here. The later stuff from the Police is much more basic, but on those early records he cuts loose a lot more. He's a huge part of what makes them a great band and why nobody else sounds like them. Try their track Walking On The Moon & you'll see what I mean. His drum track is crazy & super cool. It totally makes the song.
Great video. Such a memorable guitar riff. Great Sting vocals while he is playing bass which I hear is really hard to do.. Also fun to see Stewart Copeland's brilliance on the drums. Thanks for a great reaction!
If you listen To The Reggatta Deblanc Album By The police in which this song comes from, Stuart Copeland is a fantastic drummer. NO TIME THIS TIME, REGATTA DEBLANC the title track, phenominal drumming.
The genius of Sting is that he made dark songs become big hits around the world. This song tackles depression and alcoholism- the call for help and despair. These songs made The Police one of the most iconic bands and one of the most revolutionary bands ever. The Police were the biggest band of 1980s and they had the biggest tour ever during that time.
Love that you recognize the brilliance of these musicians, especially the drummer, who is definitely the most technically interesting and sound of all of these incredible musicians.
Rico, keep going with more Police; it's a great rabbit hole to go down; "Voices Inside My Head" , " Can't Stand Losing You", "Driven To Tears"; SO many more. In High School, someone stole my Police Tee shirt along with my Pat Benatar one from my Locker; I'm still pissed 😂
maybe flys can smell food or sugar coming from your breath.mouth & nose and that attracts them. message in a bottle saying come save me sos(save our souls) is what you do if your stranded on an deserted island hoping a ship will pick it up and find you.in this case he feels alone(on his own desert island)and has put a messege out telling people how he feels hoping someone will save him.love him.he feels he's the only one who feels this way.but when he wakes the next day he finds there are lots of people who feel exactly the same and have also sent out the same message.now he knows he maybe lonely but he's not alone in feeling that.
It's easy to get lost in the interesting groove and rhythmic elements of this song and miss the lyrics, which are typically Sting - well written, deeper than typical pop
Wow I was your brother's age when this came out , i feel so old 😭 , both of you banging your heads to that is exactly what i did back then . This song will last forever . Great reaction guys
Wow I forgot this song. Awesome. Takes me back to my teenage years. Ooh there is a movie called (message in a bottle) awesome movie but no connected to the song I don’t think. Nice to see your bro joining in and you introducing him to the old greats. ❤️🥳
Another powerful message from another great band. I thought I'd suggest another new artist, if interested "Lonely Boy - Andrew Gold" another great storyteller. I enjoyed you guys' reaction and I think it's really smart of you to introduce your brother to the Classics. Knowledge is power and to expand you mind, broadens your wisdom to bigger things.
@@dragonflyparade8143 ah ok. Thx. I knew he could play guitar cuz of his duet he did with Brian Adams & Rod Stewart. But wasn't sure on when he was still in The Police.
Not the biggest fan of the police but glad I checked it out enjoyed it more then I thought I would was fun to revisit it and see someone else experience it. Quality 80's music. The other person is different than having your girlfriend on but he seems pretty cool and its always nice to get other people involved in the channel. Real beachy vibes, doesn't necessarily make me nostalgic but it definitely evokes certain emotions which are worthwhile. Can't remember how many of your videos Ive seen but I always enjoy coming back to your channel when I want to have a fresh experience with music that Ive listened to and enjoyed. Thanks for the content and peace.
I’ve been a fan and still have the Outlandos D’Amor, Zenyatta Mondatta and the other original vinyls stored away- With all that fanboy stuff aside- This single clip might be Stings greatest performance ever (he also performed “Roxanne” at this event) This rendition of Message In A Bottle is truly transcendent. Enjoy it Roxanne is equally amazing ua-cam.com/video/k6JNtEZwTLw/v-deo.html
recklezz, u ned more police in ur life my friend...epic, epic bamd, and Thee greatest,drummer of ALL time....stewart copeland is a monster, this song was pretty great stewart, but theres some songs just off the hook----- unbelievable------- there a young, black reactor out there who play;s drums, a really talented dude, and hes fallen in love with stewart copeland, stewart just has melted his face off....i love seeing modern kids who's misic is so focused on the beat, and bass, and electronic drums react to the old-school crazy genius drummer of the past, anyway, great stuff----and more police!
Your younger brother might not know about the older concept of a message on a bottle and throwing it in the ocean... Then it washes up somewhere else in the world in another beach and someone else finds it, opens the bottle and reads the message inside. That's what he was referring to. The young generation probably doesn't know of that older concept.
You can't guarantee that someone else has the same problem as you. Your problem could be unique. But you CAN guarantee that someone has a worse problem than you.
These guys ruled the 80 s with their reggae rock, check out Sting s solo work he’s a genius
check out a newer band called sticky fingers!!

Rico check out da do do do do, walking on the moon, murder by number, every little thing she does is magic, roxanne
I love The Police, growing up in the UK the police were huge, couldn't really go anywhere without hearing them. Great song!

Hear how Stewart Copeland on drums adds SO much , as does Clem Burke on all of Blondie's songs
You're right about Clem Burke, great drummer, impeccable fills...
Everything about this is amazing, from drums to a baseline to die for.
And a great bass line. Basically.
I love what everyone adds to the music, but the drums is what makes The Police really special for me.
More Police please! Great reaction and thanks for finally finding this music! Try “Roxanne” from them next!
Seen them ive 6 times and you're correct, Stewart Copeland is a monster drummer.
Stewart Copeland is one of the best and most influential drummers of all time. All three of these guys influenced generations of musicians and songwriters.

One of the best drummers ever
Man the drummer kills it. Cool song
I grew up listening to the Police because my parents were into them. I still listen to them to this day. I love the Reggae vibes in their songs.
“ Sending out an SOS “ is a serious earworm!! Lol great song and reaction, thanks guys!!
The police is a really cool group 🎶🎶👍. My favorite is probably. Roxanne.🤔
The stalker song "Every Breath You Take". Don't mistake it for a love song, like so many people did when playing it at their weddings, lol.
One of my favorites ..there's a message in the
Bottle.....if u listen...
The drummer is Stewart Copeland. He is one of the greatest rock drummers of all time. Many people don't appreciate him because he isn't flashy, but he lays down a fat groove with his own style.

This is such a relatable song about isolation. I remember when I first heard it and instantly fell in love with the guitar and drum patterns.
Songs about isolation and loneliness is what The Police did best. Remember the song Does everyone stare?
I love Andy Summers guitar parts in this song🔥🔥
Great video. Such a memorable guitar riff. Great Sting vocals while he is playing bass which I hear is really hard to do.. Also fun to see Stewart Copeland's brilliance on the drums. Thanks for a great reaction!
More Sting/Police please. There's so much greatness for young people to learn about.
The drummer killed it too ,fantastic, Stuart copeland.
Saw them at Shea Stadium in the 80's. they were AWESOME
you got it spot on, you think you are alone with your problem but you are not
More police....walking on the moon
..should be your next police song..
If you listen To The Reggatta Deblanc Album By The police in which this song comes from, Stuart Copeland is a fantastic drummer. NO TIME THIS TIME, REGATTA DEBLANC the title track, phenominal drumming.
42 years ago this September, I was 18, 30 000 people singing this chorus in a stadium, still gives me goosebumps.
YES! You felt the BEST part of the song as well; that teeny bit delayed bud da da dum drum part!!❤
As well as the songs others have mentioned, I think you’ll really like Syncronicity, Walking in Your Footsteps, If You Love Somebody
The Police are all amazing musicians, and Sting's lyrics often take a back seat, but damn, "seems I'm not alone in feeling alone" speaks volumes.
‘Love can mend your life but love can break your heart.’
The genius of Sting is that he made dark songs become big hits around the world. This song tackles depression and alcoholism- the call for help and despair. These songs made The Police one of the most iconic bands and one of the most revolutionary bands ever. The Police were the biggest band of 1980s and they had the biggest tour ever during that time.
Love that you recognize the brilliance of these musicians, especially the drummer, who is definitely the most technically interesting and sound of all of these incredible musicians.
Material World and Man on the moon are my two favorite songs by the Police though 🔥🔥👍🏼👍🏼
I wish they would sound like this again
No one before or since like The Police. Stewart Copeland is one of the best drummers around. In my top five of all time. Great job, Gentlemen.
Hard to believe STING was a school teacher
😱 😱 😱
#ThePolice

The Police can repeat the ending of a song dozens of times but switch up each time the way Sting sings it, Andy licks it, and Stewart hits it
🎧 💓 🎶
The Police killed it!
One of the first records I ever bought. Nostalgia, right there. Great reaction .
Stewart Copeland is a God in the rock drummer's pantheon! Complex drumming to be sure.
I'm with you on the flies, they totally know what they are doing 😕😁
maybe flys can smell food or sugar coming from your breath.mouth & nose and that attracts them.

Stuart Copeland is an incredible drummer. He's so tight on the beat, and his cymbal work is absolute fire. He's considered one of the best.
The Police are IMPOSSIBLE to touch, as a band!!! 💯💯💯💯😎
Single greatest trio of all time.
Wow I was your brother's age when this came out , i feel so old 😭 , both of you banging your heads to that is exactly what i did back then . This song will last forever . Great reaction guys
You would love, "Don't Stand So Close" by The Police. Sting was actually a teacher before The Police.
💜💫✌🏼🎵
Wow I forgot this song. Awesome. Takes me back to my teenage years.
Ooh there is a movie called (message in a bottle) awesome movie but no connected to the song I don’t think.
Nice to see your bro joining in and you introducing him to the old greats. ❤️🥳
Heavy Reggae influences
Thank you for allowing this song to play out. Nice review.
3:57 one of the very few times a young black man smiles when he hears The Police...
There’s also a great bass guitar on this.
You are a good big brother 🙂 My daughter was born in '05! Just a baby!🤗
It’s amazing you’re teaching the young about good music my brother
I take my hat off to you!
So many rap songs have been sampled w/guitar riffs sampled from this group
Another powerful message from another great band. I thought I'd suggest another new artist, if interested "Lonely Boy - Andrew Gold" another great storyteller. I enjoyed you guys' reaction and I think it's really smart of you to introduce your brother to the Classics. Knowledge is power and to expand you mind, broadens your wisdom to bigger things.
Check out the cover by Machine Head
Does anybody know if Sting played guitar while he was part of The Police? I know a couple of they're songs.
He played bass guitar.
@@dragonflyparade8143 ah ok. Thx. I knew he could play guitar cuz of his duet he did with Brian Adams & Rod Stewart. But wasn't sure on when he was still in The Police.
Perhaps my favorite Police song. (Its so hard to choose!)
Recomend
The Police - Roxane
This is 'upside-down' drumming. Playing 'on' beats where there would usually be 'off' beats. The Police had a great Reggae sound.
Saw em live in '81. Blew my fourteen year old mind.
Shout out to Andy Summers guitar player.
A true master
They are all great musicians by all accounts it’s only three of them
"plastic reggae" - John Lydon!!!!! 🤔😉
Check out Walking On The Moon
🔥
Not the biggest fan of the police but glad I checked it out enjoyed it more then I thought I would was fun to revisit it and see someone else experience it. Quality 80's music.

Stewart Copeland's drumming is the driver of the band.
👍👍👍👍
Stewart Copeland is one of the TOP most skilled drummers everrrr 🙌
The version on live. Is better than the studio version.
LOVE THE POLICE!!!
SO YEAH, THAT'S THE GUY A.K.A. ( STING ), THE LEADER AND LEAD VOCALIST OF THIS TERRIFICCCC 3 MAN ROCK BAND YOU GUYS! 😊
Can't understand why people want to defund the police. Great band back in the day, they earnt that money!
🤣🤣🤣🤣
Roxanne 🔥🔥
Saw Andy Summers when he was with Zoot Money
love it if they got back together again
Have you ever heard “Walking on the Moon” or “King of Pain?”
I’ve been a fan and still have the Outlandos D’Amor, Zenyatta Mondatta and the other original vinyls stored away-
With all that fanboy stuff aside-
This single clip might be Stings greatest performance ever (he also performed “Roxanne” at this event)
This rendition of Message In A Bottle is truly transcendent.
Enjoy it
Roxanne is equally amazing

Steward coppeland the best drummer
Flies look for food. If you've been eating they smell the food.
Great reaction man
What’s your favourite British group?
Your younger brother might not know about the older concept of a message on a bottle and throwing it in the ocean... Then it washes up somewhere else in the world in another beach and someone else finds it, opens the bottle and reads the message inside. That's what he was referring to. The young generation probably doesn't know of that older concept.
You gotta teach the kid to pay attention if He's going to review music.
☮️💙💙💙🔥😎
Kid game but would be interesting if some got it
You can't guarantee that someone else has the same problem as you. Your problem could be unique. But you CAN guarantee that someone has a worse problem than you.
