- Stewart Copeland joined Rockonteurs for a face-to-face chat with Gary Kemp and Guy Pratt. Diving into the origins of The Police, his new book called ‘The Police Diaries’ - out now and his live tour of re-worked, new orchestrations of some of the band’s biggest hits, called ‘Deranged’. Stewart is the perfect Rockonteur, great stories from a truly great artist.
Rockonteurs is produced by Ben Jones for Gimme Sugar Productions.
The Police were a British rock band formed in London in 1977. For most of their history the band consisted of Sting (lead vocals, bass guitar, primary songwriter), Andy Summers (guitar) and Stewart Copeland (drums, percussion). The Police became globally popular in the late 1970s and early 1980s and are generally regarded as one of the first new-wave groups to achieve mainstream success, playing a style of rock influenced by punk, reggae, and jazz. They are also considered one of the leaders of the Second British Invasion of the United States.

Stewart Copeland is so listenable and a great drummer to boot
Yeah but these two guys (yeah! You two!) are boring.
He is. He is an astounding drummer. There's only a few even close to him these days. He has his jazz basics and manages to be a genius at all times. The Rhythmatist busy rhythmatizing...
Great drummer, good stories, decent guy. Never seen a bad interview w/ him. Nice one, Guys!
+1! Stuart as always charming, funny and entertainer.. To the hosts, learn to listen and don't interrupt guests with your non senses, also a little bit of research would help to conduct the interview.
@@talesfromthecosmicsky3878 Agree 100% - They knew nothing about Fallout 7" on Stewart's Illegal Records, never mentioned his appearance as Klark Kent on Top of the Pops w/ his 'band' all wearing masks, etc. - lazy, should do better!
@@Voidoid77and sting needs to get it together he looks awful 😮
I could listen to Stewart all day long he’s so entertaining and interesting great interview
Brilliant drummer. Massive personality. Great interview. Thanks.
Great video boys. Stuart is such a great character. Always a great listen.
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.
Great interview with one of the worlds greatest drummers who happened to be in one of the worlds greatest 3 piece bands.
Really enjoyed listening to the chat. Thanks chaps
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.
very nice listen! Stewart is remarkable indeed. thxs!
Stewart is always a great interview.Thanks again,you guys bring a lot of joy.
seems like the algorithm found you guys, may you rise high to Rick Beato-esque fame
Been watching The Police reunion tour gigs from 2007/08 on youtube , they were on fire on that tour , great stuff.
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!
That was great fun…love Stewart…rockonteurs is the best podcast around…thanks chaps!
You're all amazing, the stories just pure rock and roll. Thanks.
This feels like a Sting interview without Sting needing to be present.
This must be the best channel of it's type!
Keep it up lads, superb!
What a fantastic interview ❤
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.
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'!!!!!)
'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.
I lived on the same street as Stewart ….humble “dude”
Putting his own drums in the back of his car ….
Was This year's ago or more recently?
Well, 99% of us drummers do put them in our car... not remarkable
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!
Fabulous! Thank you.
There would be no The Police without Gong. Listen to more Gong! Also, Mike Howlett is a phenomenal bass player in his own right!
Guy mentioned Steve Lukather about 80s guitar solos, then jamming with Ringo. I saw them both at Ringo's gig on Tuesday in DC!
The book is great!! Had it out today.
Hilarious! Copeland should do stand up. Stingbo!
Never really cared much for the Police, but Stewart is such a laugh. Great guy.
Klark Kent!
Lost the original green vinyl drat
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
Very entertaining, and fascinating!
Wonderful! Thanks! Cheers!
Great chat guys.
Superb interview!
You’ll never convince me that “Don’t Stand So Close To Me” is not from Sting’s perspective.
Fantastic, thank you!
🙏 dudes
great interview - but , for me - too many interruptions !
True. The hosts tend to talk over Stewart. But hey, this is more like a pub chat than a BBC interview - and it's free - so suffer we must.
Hello internet! 😃
When was this recorded?
Yes can't wait for Guy to bring up Derek Forbes to Jim Kerr 🤣
Guy seems very jittery in this video. I've just seen him with David Gilmour in Brighton, on top form, very relaxed. Hope all is well. Great interview.
Cannot Waaaaiiiiitt!!!!
I can´t stand Sting but I think Stewart is a real entertaining and funny guy - and a good drummer of course.
The Rhythmatist himself!
Gary looks more like tin tin now😂. Great stuff though lads👍
Gary Kemp looks like he just landed from f.....king Pluto.
Copeland & Summers with their different playing styles & personalities brought a contrast to Sumner's, which gave a depth & edge to The Police, which Sumner's solo career has lacked a bit in my view. He made a mistake ditching the act, not commercially but artistically.
And don't forget, Gary was the mastermind songwriter. Without him, Spandau would not have had the hits...
any friend of the cia......,
Gary Kemp on some levels just doesn't seem to get it. Which is surprising
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!"
