This must be the best channel of it's type! Keep it up lads, superb!

Great video and a nice bunch of gents. I remember some time in the 70s going to a gig by the American band Spirit (great band, by the way). They were supported by the halfway-interesting-but-not-much Alternative TV and at the bottom of the bill was The Police. The Police line-up at the time was Stewart Copeland, Sting, Andy Summers and Henry Padovani. They were so mind-bogglingly tedious that everyone talked all the way through their performance and I didn’t realise who I’d seen until a few months later, when they were suddenly famous.

'Visions Of The Night' is one of my favourite Police songs, I always put it on the pub jukebox rather than the 'A' side Walking On The Moon.

Cookie - legend, grounded, no crap and brilliant drummer ✊

When was this recorded?

Thanks guys. That really flowed, the danger with three artists around the same table is ego and talking over each other. This was three guys that don’t need to prove anything anymore, who are genuinely interested in what each other have to stay. I hope you guys invite Stewart back to continue the deep dive into how the Police’s fortunes changed after those elusive golden songs came along.

very nice listen! Stewart is remarkable indeed. thxs!

Where's his "I HATE PINK FLOYD" t-shirt? :P

We always called Def Leppard 'Hard Rock' in the 80's.

In "Don't Stand so close to me" the pretentious couplet "Just like the old man in That book by Nabokov" sounds less cringe if one amends it to: "Just like the old man in That book by Nahhhh! F*ck off!"

33:32 is one of my favourite bits of this interview 🙂

What a fantastic interview ❤

Really enjoyed listening to the chat. Thanks chaps

There would be no The Police without Gong. Listen to more Gong! Also, Mike Howlett is a phenomenal bass player in his own right!

Been watching The Police reunion tour gigs from 2007/08 on youtube , they were on fire on that tour , great stuff.

congrats! a very interesting dialogue, with a very special musician. Greetings from Romania!

This was so good. thanks.

Never really cared much for the Police, but Stewart is such a laugh. Great guy.

Pratt plays all over the place

Three music LEGENDS in genuine conversation... We KNOW Gary Kemp from 'Spandau' and Stu Copeland from 'Police' but ACTUALLY Guy Pratt has POSSIBLY had the more varied career... I LOVED this conversation... (Three blokes who know the 'gig', ne'r an 'EGO' in sight, just equals a-talking...) Loved EVERY SECOND of this... xx SF (BTW, Gaz Kemp was AMAZING in 'Killing Zoe'!!!!!)

Say the meek shall inherit the earth how long will you keep it sow a harvest but what's it worth with no one left to keep it

This feels like a Sting interview without Sting needing to be present.

Simply one of the very best! ❤

The Ustinov of the New Wave, top bloke, fantastic musician and the reason I started playing drums. Could listen to Stu all day. See if you can get Andy on guys. Cheers!

Mark Knopfler, a beautiful person, an exceptional person. In decades we will talk about it again. He is certainly the greatest pop rock guitarist of the 20th century. Exceptional author, composer and performer. “Brother in arms, Sultan of swing, Money for nothing”, there are so many exceptional things by Mark Knopfler!

MK, what a great guitarist musician and human being

I've found this channel twice now, spandau Ballet & Pink Floyd's first reserve(I bought your book)! First talking to Steve Jones and now a genuine Copeland! I've now Liked & Subscribed, Don't You Dare Let Me Down Guys....or Garys!

Great interview with one of the worlds greatest drummers who happened to be in one of the worlds greatest 3 piece bands.

I love Cookie, if you want an honest spit & sawdust account of the Pistols at that time he’s pretty much your man. A humble decent honest guy, who actually was pretty much the perfect drummer for the Pistols. I saw John back in May & loved it apart from his unnecessary trashing of his former band members! Steve & Paul proper old skool geezers! 👍😉

I love your channel and I am the biggest Pink Floyd fan. I bought my first cassette in 1977 and it was Animals. I was then 13. I just released my first album and was wondering if you would do a review... Cheers

🙏 dudes

And don't forget, Gary was the mastermind songwriter. Without him, Spandau would not have had the hits...

Yes can't wait for Guy to bring up Derek Forbes to Jim Kerr 🤣

The book is great!! Had it out today.

I can´t stand Sting but I think Stewart is a real entertaining and funny guy - and a good drummer of course.

What a beautiful interview. 3 top musicians having a chat. Lovely.

I saw Def Leppard at the Northampton cricket pavilion. The support band was Witchfynde. I can't remember the y

I could just listen to Paul talk all day.

It’s a fantastic image. Captures the punk spirit in one iconic shot.

That was a fun and interesting interview. I bought the Stewart's Police Diaries book and even got my name printed in the back. As stated here those early days are really head spinning. Just shows its not only you have to have the talent but determination and a bit of luck as well to make it in the music industry.

I was a late starter with the Pistols, a school friend turned up at my house one day with a pile of albums and asked me did I want to buy 3 of them for £2 and I picked never mind the bollocks & the greatest rock n roll swindle , I can't remember the 3rd lol but as soon as I listened to them I was hooked ! I was 14 years old at the time and just learning guitar , my mother went nuts when she heard the language in bodies so I had to listen with my headphones on lol .

Great video boys. Stuart is such a great character. Always a great listen.

Brilliant drummer. Massive personality. Great interview. Thanks.

I could listen to Stewart all day long he’s so entertaining and interesting great interview

Guyyyy I love you dude ❤

great interview - but , for me - too many interruptions !

Paul Cook is one of the nicest guys you could ever meet, not even a hint of ego, Lydon could learn a lot from him.

Pratt needs to go. Distracting old man in the corner
