Hey, have to agree with you there. It seemed Sting and Stewart had the most tension out of the 3 and Andy stuck in the middle trying to the best he could in a bad situation. Awesome band.
@@mrbungle7586 yeah, all 3 very talented guys. Sting the despondent introvert, Stewart the energetic extrovert, Andy the moderator. All strong personalities in their own right.
@@josephtravers777 hey again., true and all 3 very driven. They each had a huge contribution to the band and if one had left I don't think the band would have been as successful. Wouldn't matter how good a musician was brought in to replace them, as the magic was the 3 of them. I saw them in the last Synchronicity concert at the showgrounds in 84 and again in Melbourne at the MCG in 2008.
You know....thats quite a Metaphor for what he did as the guitarist. The Police were primarily driven by Stewart's drums and Stings bass riffs and it was only as an adult I appreciated what Andy was doing holding them together by hitting the right notes at the right time. Andy is really a genius as a musician.
The deconstruction of this band is so fascinating to me. They literally got to the point where they couldn't stand being around each other. They were literally at the height of their success and then they imploded...
Here I see three coked up musicians playing at the top of their game but hating each others' guts every second of the day. One of them too lost inside of his own arse, another one too fed up of the first one, and the other one tired of them both and also of being between them both. The writing was SO ON THE WALL. Good that they sorted their chemical issues, patched things up and are on good terms now. At least socially, haha.
Sting genius.....Stewart.. Andy.....made sting......molded....sting....to.....write unbelievable songs...with help from Andy and Stewart.....with out them...sting...WOULD still be teaching
He was an athlete when not on the drums and played them like an athlete. A lot of good drummers look at it that way. Carter Beauford of Dave Matthews Band wore like Hockey jerseys and stuff. Always cool to see guys who prioritize comfort and practicality over an image.
I met Martha at Comisky Park in Chicago in 1983. I remember Sting singing "there's a little black spot on the sun...etc" and looking up at the cloudy sky. Joan Jett and band were pelted off the stage that day.
I fucking love and adore This album and era. But man was Sting an egotistical bastard during this era it’s annoying. Stewart is obviously at the end of his rope haha.
They look and sound so annoyed and fed up with each other. They sound so done. Sting must have been in anger during this interview. He just looks unconfortable and annoyed
They were so sick of everything by this point. When they were together, they acted like the 3 stooges, but they matured quite a bit in subsequent years after they separated. Just compare Sting's demeanor in this interview to the "Bring on the Night" film from 2 years later. They went out on top though as The Police. They could have easily kept going throughout the 80s, but they ended it all after they released Synchronicity, their most commercially successful album, and their last album. If their was ever a band to "go out on top" it was The Police. They sealed their legacy that way, and honestly it was the right move.
Sting truly showed his pompous a** with the whole Synchronicity concept. As a young coming of age high school into college student circa the release of Synchronicity I began to see the band I truly loved devolve into a trifle in the pseudo-brilliant mind of Sting. While there’s no denying he is a talented musician that is all he is. When he latched on to this abstruse pseudoscientific thralldom which is the Synchronicity album I knew the band as we all knew it was over. Sting has always had the highest opinion of himself as the centerpiece his own Narcissistic cosmology. You can see the effect of Sting’s insufferable pomp on the faces of Andy and Stewart. When I watched Andy Summers’s recent autobiographical documentary on the band and his life I’m glad he says what we all think about Sting. I nearly wretched watching Sting tutor his band mates on how to play songs they’d already released and played a zillion times at the rehearsals for the reunion tour. As if Copeland and Summers need Sting’s tutelage on how to play the songs. Sting has always fancied himself as music’s philosopher-poet. The man truly deserves himself. I don’t know how even he can stand himself. I had the misfortune of watching an Aussie tv network do a piece about Sting’s recent travels which of course ends up in NYC. In it, I nearly gagged as the overdubbed news reader uses the metaphor of the “Englishman in New York.” Isn’t there a way to deport this man to Saint Helena island so he can share in the banishment afforded Napoleon? How fitting such a pass would be. Sting’s forays into psychology, philosophy and geo-politics ( see the Russians track off Dream of the Blue Turtles) are an encyclopedia of his manias. The man seriously believes what he writes. I was no Sting hater. I thought he was a great frontman and Uber talented writer/musician, which he was. But he decided to give it all up for our sakes. He, for the benefit of all mankind, was our musical savior. He threw off the whole Police thing for the benefit of humanity. I once read his lyrics post-Police and couldn’t convince myself he was being serious. Was it all coy and cheeky? Nay, his works are a diary of his logorrhea (a malady much like diarrhea in visual and olfactory appeal , except that is an effusion from the hole under his nose). Can the man shut up? I doubt it. I’m fortunate in nearly having forgotten about his offences to the mind and soul, that is until I had to relive the entire unpleasant experience when I got re-interested in the old Police videos, documentaries etc.. I know many people will decry my post, but I’m not alone. Go ask Andy and Stewart. What’s ironic is that for all of the musical genius baggage Sting believes he carries for our sakes, it is really Stewart who is the true genius. Who else could be such an avid composer of musical scores, operas etc.? Sting could never pull this off because if he could have he would have, if only to demonstrate that anything Stewart can do Sting can do better. I’ll sign off ….
that was a lot....but you hit the nail on the head there bud! Sting's obsession with the limelight and not being a in a GROUP/ a team player...was their downfall me thinks
When The Police came out they were very refreshing compared to all the goofy bands and druggie bands that were around at the time and they still remained cool to be into.
2:52 - You can see how the band is falling apart when Stuart Copeland answers Martha's question and Sting totally contradicts him. It's like a big old "Fuck you Stew", but on MTV prime time. After that, Andy posits an answer to the question which can moderate the tension between Stu and Sting, yet all the while, Sting makes petulant, adolescent faces and Stu can't even bring himself to look in Sting's direction. Always thought Sting was a right prick and his own hubris broke up a very good thing for himself and the boys.
Every time like Stewart says something sting rolls his eyes love you sting but two words for you the police Stewart made the police you left at the hype of your ego love the police if I was Stewart I'd be pissed off at sting for leaving they still had a lot in them Andy Summers is great sting is Great but what an ego and I have Stewart Copeland drum stick have a picture with Andy Summers never meant sting
The police changed my musical youth from the first moment I knew about them! So its really hard to take in that they couldnt stand eachother. Same feeling as I had with fleetwood mac.
@@drea4195 Sting and Copeland both used sniff quite a lot up until around '82. I think Summers wasn't affected as he had been there and done it all in the sixties/ early seventies and was an older and wiser man.
Sting is such a pseudo snob. And he started dressing in costume. Can you imagine what their next tour would’ve looked like? I mean, that was never the police. They weren’t pretentious. Just Sting. The other two balanced him out - it created the perfect band.
gusmac78. No he's not . He's being himself and he's answering all the questions with sincerity. NOTE : Their squeezing this interview during their tour . They are tired.
Remember they were the police here; the chemistry didn't last long between them..., who knows maybe each member doesn't like how one another handles questions (ie. Guy sitting far off from Lead singer says: "ughhh, alot of bands sound like us!!!" then Lead singer says: "ummm, NO; we don't sound like anyone else!") [3:15] that's the kinda shi* that'll spilt bands up! Reason why so called 'Sting' became in his own...
I wonder if Martha Quinn looks back at this and is embarrassed by some of these questions, lol. "People are buying dictionaries...is that good?" She must've been nervous in front of his Sting-ness...curious as to who the copycat bands were though?
Sting is brilliant but he just yells, and has no vibrato. He often lost his voice because of that. When they played Austin on this tour, he was in fine voice, and they crushed it. Still my main musical/ bass hero!
I'm guessing you have a musical background as that is a very astute, technical comment and spot on correct. I read an interview with Sting when he was making the Blue Turtles album after being out of the spotlight for a while . He said that he often felt scared that his voice had been permanently damaged and it brought him to tears on occasion thinking his singing career may be over. I think he had some serious vocal coaching and voice therapy between '87 and '90 as he had a lot more depth to his voice from the Soul Cages onwards. He began to sing from the diaphragm a lot more rather than just the throat, which had caused him problems from about late '79.
By his own admission, he was an absolute twat at the time. He would pick fights over any and everything, ignore people, was reading a lot of occult/ satanic books and losing a lot of respect and friends. Trudie Styler threatened to leave him if he didn't get a grip and fly right on more than one occasion.
I don't recall many bands copying the sound of the police as a band actually. I mean - Andy's Roland AC120 and chorus and delay sound were pretty standard 80's guitar fare and Stewart was a legend and maybe Big Country and Simply minds drummers were influenced by his playing. So okay maybe a little bit....
Agree. Don't all bands that are popular at any one point in time usually have some common sound ? But right, I can't recall any other band sounding JUST like them at the time. Especially with Andy's unique guitar playing and Stewart's unique rythyms. This was an awful interview, I smell the arrogance and they don't act like they gave a shit. It was a great time for them to split while they were on top.
Dude, do you have any interviews of the guys from Stealers Wheelers? I've never subscribed to someone's channel before, but I want to subscribe to yours. How much does it cost and where do I send the check?
In some of the live footage Stuart Copeland is wearing an XTC T Shirt! Yes Sting comes across as a petulant toddler but to fair they all sound a bit arrogant.
Matt Markus not all of them, yes most of the hits, but Stewart made the band and found sting. And all three of them made what the police was, which is why they together were most successful compared to each of their single careers.
Even if he wrote all the songs, it is really funny that most of the stuff he recorded afterwards can't be heard without missing Copeland's drumming and Summers' guitar instead of the musicians of choice, even if we are speaking of Colaiuta calibre. IMHO, Sting honed his craft adjusted to zhe other two members, and it resonates until today.
This was Comisky Park. I remember it like it was yesterday. It was a great concert, also had Flock of Seagulls, Joan Jett, and Ministry on the bill. Joan Jett practically got booed off the stage.
@@rustykuntz94 This whole interview took place backstage at Shea. The guys are still wearing the same clothing they wore earlier in the day when Stewart broke Stings ribs
That doesn’t make him any less insufferable here. Interpretations of his behavior are very subjective though, I guess, so I understand where you’re coming from.
I remember seeing this broadcast in the 80s on MTV. Time flies…
I could swear it was Andy who hold them together all those years. Also love his kind of humor😂
he was the adult in the room
@@scottharrisohn6972 Yes, it wasn't until decades that 2 of the 3 of them grew up...
Andy is about 10 years older than Stewart and Sting.
Andy said in his memoir that things started going wrong with Ghost in the Machine-that is, Sting converting the Police into his “pop group.”
@@dogmart Yes and it's amazing that the three of them were able to make such an amazing album when they were at each other's throats lol
Any three people who spend almost 24 hours a day with each other will eventually hate each other. It’s not a band thing
Preach brother! 100% truth.
@@kevinwalker2072 they ended the band to retain the friendship
Thank god they broke up when they did. I’m forever grateful for that decision. I can still listen to them with great pride.
Precisely!
You could cut the tension, between Copeland and Sting, with a knife.
Three totally different personalities here. Andy is in the middle trying to keep it together.

Had forgotten that Copeland played in shorts exclusively.
He was an athlete when not on the drums and played them like an athlete. A lot of good drummers look at it that way. Carter Beauford of Dave Matthews Band wore like Hockey jerseys and stuff. Always cool to see guys who prioritize comfort and practicality over an image.
@@austin78993 Absolutely agree, comfort must come before fancy clothes and image.
three egotic talents with a special mention for Sting ----- the perfect chemistry for brilliant things before explosion
I recall hearing from Stewart in another interview that the Chicago concert was when they had finally had enough and called it quits.
Which concert? Day in the park, horizon? Amnesty show?
I met Martha at Comisky Park in Chicago in 1983. I remember Sting singing "there's a little black spot on the sun...etc" and looking up at the cloudy sky. Joan Jett and band were pelted off the stage that day.
