Copeland is a fantastic and entertaining raconteur. Often self-deprecating, always amusing, he cannot however hide his steely professionalism and driven attention to detail. His success during and after the Police speaks to this, yet his good humour, energy, intelligence and pure charisma shine through. He is a joy to listen to in his music and his interviews/documentaries. A true gentleman. xx SF
Sting might have been the voice of the band, but this guy is really the mouth of the band. Brilliant conversation: insightful, witty, charming, entertaining and deep. As good an entertainer as a drummer.
Very gracious of him to answer all these questions. He was a pioneer of sorts, using techniques that aren't generally used in rock music to astounding effect.
If anyone is still reading this... Zenyatta Mondatta was my first rock album- what a cool album. I remember the profanity on the drum skins in the album sleeve photo. I thought it was funny back then. Stuart mentions El Duche- I think he's referring to Sting.
the fact that they stayed as a band for the 7 years is really astounding. you had a really unique situation of Sting's Ego and Copeland's it's my band attitude (due to his brother) constantly clashing. Andy was the glue that made the sound complete, without any of the the three nothing would have worked. Sting's solo work is generic compared to his work with the Police, fantastic all the same, but not at the same level.
Excellent, thanks for posting this. For those that haven't heard the derangements that are spoken about, they are not hard to track down, and are well worth the effort. Walking in your Footsteps in particular.
I've never heard of this film. Has anyone seen it? And what was "Walking on the Moon" used for? I couldn't hear the rest of the question because Stewart jumped on it.

It was Stewart's band, not Sting's. He hired the other two, and called the shots for quite a while.
I'm not a drummer, but this guy is AWESOME. The Police was his feel and groove. Without him, Sting's tunes are like stale bread.
Internet now No, you're completely wrong!

Mr Copeland, I’m forever a fan.

Thaaaanks for the upload
I've replayed 9:20 over and over and it's still funny!
They must be comeback now on 2018 or maybe 2019 because sting is touring with shaggy and andy is making a tour with a police style band tribute
I'm guessing that last beep at the end was your phone saying "Battery 0%. Powering off"
I think the image on the Shroud of Turin is Stuart Copeland.
Andy did say Stewart referred to it as The Brand, not the Band.
The drummers works (plays to) the singer. SC
I've never heard of this film. Has anyone seen it? And what was "Walking on the Moon" used for? I couldn't hear the rest of the question because Stewart jumped on it.
Serai3 It’s a great documentary if you’re a fan of the band. It’s a sloppy doc if you’re not.
1:42 😂
any written transciption about this interview please? I don't understand english conversations by ear good enough :)
tiluriso 😊
Neil Peart!
WAY to much talking and not enough drumming . This guy from a CIA family talks and talks and talks . Good thing he played drums spies dont TALK .
ha, ha, haaaaaa. true
I much prefer this Copeland as compared to the cheesy, self indulgent, hyperbolized Copeland.
