Franck B underrated because he doesn’t play at a million miles per hour. But there’s more to drumming than that. There’s the subtlety and timing and how it integrates with the rest of the music.
It was mentioned by someone else...I second the request to listen to Men at Work, specifically "Overkill" check out an unplugged version that Colin Hay(not sure that's his correct last name) did more recently
And that's the way it should be. I'm a 63-year-old white guy and I can't get my head around trying to understand why people judge others by race. Truth is there is one race - the human race - and it is diversity that makes is beautiful.
The drummer is an American named Stewart Copeland, and you're right about his role. He's a great drummer, and has long been ranked in the top 10 best of all time near Neil Peart of Rush and John Bonham of Zeppelin.
Copeland is light years ahead of Bonham. You can't even put them in the same universe. Bonham was a hard rock/blues guy. Simple. Copeland could play any style he wants, and better the best of each style.
@@michaelblaydes6037 Didn't mean to wade into a debate. I didn't say it was my ranking which agrees with you. That's just what you find in the music mags, and it's a way to compare Copeland to some that Jamel already knows are good. Bill Bruford and Ginger Baker should be in the rankings too, but are usually left out.
They all are great. And they all were influenced by the true greats and those are the jazz cats. Too many 2 mention but from big band,swing, hard bop, bop, free bop,modal and fusion the jazz drummers set the template!!!!. I will say Copeland along with the greatest in my mind Tony Williams have the most unique sound to their drum sounds.
Bill Bruford is the single greatest drummer of all time, hands down. Not meant to debate you, just tired of people overrating John Bonham. Many cite him as the greatest of all time, which is absurd. I love Zeppelin and Bonham was a huge part of their greatness, and he was a bad-ass drummer, but he was limited. And Copeland is one of the most underrated. Peart, on the other hand, pretty much gets the credit he deserved. He was one of the greatest, and is often considered so.
He's an incredible musician, singer, songwriter and musical historian... A few years ago I saw a special where he was singing and playing medieval songs from the era... Incredible stuff!
@@kathynicholson103 It's him, but I'm pretty sure it's a pick and not slapping. I've never seen him slap, and both the note choice and the tone sound more like a pick.
Definitely!! Rick is a treasure. His appreciation for music is inspiring! ANY song he does in his WMTSG that you know/love will make you love it even more! It’s like listening to a song for the first time again!
There is a special place in my heart for Sting and The Police. These songs have been a part of my life for so many years. I'm so glad you're checking them out. Keep going! :)
This song came out when i was in high school. I was a total metal head. That's all I listened to. Nothing else. I heard this song and I was done. Greatness is greatness. These 3 guys are greatness. They really introduced me to other music at the time. I could bang my head to Metallica and The Police. My head was banging through that chorus. Ya baby!
Drums: Stewart Copeland, the American in the band. His dad Miles Copeland was a big-time spook and one of the founding officers of the CIA. He was mostly stationed in London and that's how Stewart met the other two lads.
Neil Peart and this drummer(Stewart Copeland) became really good friends over the last decade or so. Two of my main influences on the drums. Thanks for everything guys!!!
Stewart Copeland is an amazing drummer. The Police were just 3 amazingly talented guys who made incredible music stripped down to its basic components. So cool to see you enjoying them, man.
Jamel: Look at all the fun they are having, interacting with the people. Remember: At the time they were in their late 20's and making MILLIONS! I'd do a happy dance too.
Barbara Saracini Because the OP was talking about how much fun they were having & I was thinking of Andy Summers when he wrote about how they weren’t getting along during this shoot. It’s not all dancing, getting along with the locals & making money. You still have to work with people you can’t stand & that’s never any fun.
@@susanmaggiora4800 Oh, it went all ways. Andy and Stewart had the bands first fist fight, if I remember correctly. And Stewart's time keeping inability drove both Andy and Sting up the wall.
Gabriel Hoffman No, Stewart seems like a bit of a dick too. And I’m sure Andy was no picnic either. The Police were just a case of 3 guys who made great music together, but personality wise, they were oil, vinegar & water.
Speaking of Stewart Copeland, he also wrote one of the coolest, most badass TV themes of the 80's - he wrote the opening theme of the original TV-show "The Equalizer". And it's *perfect.*
Stewart Copeland is the drummer, he is also the drummer in Oysterhead, with Les Claypool (Primus) and Trey Anastasio (Phish). I know you've done some Oysterhead reviews, so now you know
@@Sco3000 Probably easier to get into more "Pop" Phish like Down With Disease, Julius, Free, Sample in a Jar... Its Ice might be a cannonball into the deep end
@@asherthinks3158 It's not like I suggested Fluffhead or Reba. It's Ice has great momentum and is interesting to listen to. Plus the bass line will pull him in instantly.
I can see ur into this 80s vibe you HAVE to react to Men at work - “Down Under“ Thats their most famous song but they have soo many other amazing songs youd like em
"Walking On the Moon" is another of their songs with a pretty obvious island vibe. And Stewart Copeland, the drummer, is a well-respected musician. Good ear.
Well put my friend. Your honesty brings this fifty-one year old great appreciation for what I thought was long gone... These reaction videos (yours among only a few), have really brought great music back to life... Thanks!! ✌
Love this song! In 82' had a wonderful boyfriend have the DJ dedicate this song to me. He's gone but damn, I still turn the volume up nice and loud when I hear it play!
The great Stewart Copeland...born in good ol' Alexandria VA on July 16...we share that in common...he's one of the greatest of all time on the drums!!! SO much flavor in the ear candy
Jamel, my biggest thrill is seeing these songs through new eyes and ears, since my kids are grown. i don't have a time an genre i can turn to as i have always been a rabid music consumer. My first love was the Jackson 5ive, but i love all the Jazz Greats, Blues Legends, R&B Masters, Pop Stars, Rock Bands...i am pressed to think of one genre i am not immersed in....well, i am not as well versed in World Music as i could be, but i am always finding more...i just wish there was a mainstream style i had not heard until now. i kinda envy your ability to experience this as if it came out now. Be Well, My Friend-Stay Healthy, -trout
This is why I love your channel. Heartfelt reactions, remembering bits of songs from your work or from your youth. It’s great to live vicariously thru your eyes and ears and remember theses times of my youth. What sets you apart is truly the diversity in the genres of musical rabbit holes you are willing to dive down. Rock music truly is the most diverse overarching genre with many sub genres... love it all.
We appreciate you too Quick story. I went home and got with a few guys from high school I brought your CZcams up and said watch this guy react to our music from 35 years ago They said why in thee hell would we want to watch that. 6 hours, and many many cases of beer later... they loved you. Thank you for thst night of laughs and music. We loved the van halen. Just wish you could have done the older and deeper cuts. :) Thanks again!
we're in lockdown here in Scotland, have been for 3 weeks. I awoke at 4am, made some coffee and then thought.....I'm going online to check what Jamel is upto......aaaaah never lets me down ! This is perfect man !
I loves Stewars chops and high plays perfectly withing the constraints of the band well still adding spice withing the pocket.One of my all time favorite drummers .
Stuart Copeland is the drummer. The Dude is Locked In. Listen to “Walking on the Moon” - also Police. Copeland lays down a haunting tension between triplets and four on the floor; it’ll get in your head and you’ll never get it out. Insane.
Stewart Copeland is the drummer. 4th child of Miles Copeland II who along with George H W Bush was one of the founding members of the CIA. Stewart is American but was raised in Lebanon.
I love your reaction when you know the song, and just realized THIS is THAT song! And your so excited that your gonna hear it. You remind me of a kid on Christmas morning! You make me smile! Keep up the great work! 👍
Me "I" was 22 years old me and my brother would've gone to all the FREE NELSON MANDELA CONCERTS in the 1970s. I have great memories. Thank you for downloading on CZcams.
The members of "The Police": Sting: Lead vocals,bass and Keyboards Andy Summers: guitars and background vocals Stewart Copeland: Drums and background vocals
Yeah! The Police is the bomb, and this is one of my favorite songs.😍 I'm glad you like this jam!! "It's a big enough umbrella But it's always me that ends up getting wet."🎵🎵 Stewart Copeland is the drummer, he's bad 4 real!😍 I'm so happy I found this channel, and a young man that likes and appreciates my type of music, see ya soon, on the next video.🙂🎵
Beautiful track. All the jazzy changes, the calypso chorus, Stings voice and vocal arrangements, Stewart murdering. and the ending is incredible. I love them so much. Do "Bed's Too Big" "Secret Journey" "Once Upon A Daydream" Listen to the live stuff. SICK! I got a whole damn list on my channel. I've been rocking them for decades!
I'm a big fan of The Police and it's a real pleasure to watch you hearing these songs through for the first time. It gives me a new appreciation for them!
The outside scenes were in Monsterratt in the Caribbean. The steel drums are the national instrument of Trinidad and Tobago, and were featured in many songs in the 70's and 80's.
Too bad a volcano later erupted and destroyed the village where they filmed the outdoor sections of the video. A real shame. Feel so bad for those people.
This is one of my favorite songs. A beautiful song. It's from my childhood. So that makes it super special. It was my sister's song ( RIP😢). THANKS FOR PLAYING IT.
The Police were HUGE in the late 70's and early 80's - four number 1 albums in a row! They sold over 75 million records. They recorded most of this album at AIR Studios in Montserrat in the Caribbean. Pretty sure that's where this video was shot. You're not wrong about Stewart Copeland - he's one of the best drummers ever. There are a lot of really good rock drummers but there are 3 that stand out, IMHO: Bill Bruford (Yes, King Crimson - my favorite), Niel Peart, and Stewart Copeland. If you expand that to four, I'd add John Bonham next. Look forward to more Police! Thanks! Peace from SF
Stewart Copeland is one of the best drummers of all time
Franck B highly underrated.
Franck B highly underrated.
Stewart F’ing Copeland is god dang living legend
You got that right, brother!
Franck B underrated because he doesn’t play at a million miles per hour. But there’s more to drumming than that. There’s the subtlety and timing and how it integrates with the rest of the music.
Brother you HAVE to react to “Spirits in the Material World!” and “Wrapped around your finger” by the police they are awesome songs
And Walking on the Moon, and Invisible Sun ...
Yes! Two of my favorites!
Yes and yes!
suggested Spirits on the last video!
Yes!!! Spirits in the Material World a must!
Danced to this song with my husband the night I met him. Married 35 years. Takes me back to an exact moment and spot on planet Earth.
Music is a timeline you can save a memory in. For sure.
Love this story!
Stewart Copeland one of the most underrated drummers in my eyes.
Stewart Copeland always appears on those "best drummers of all time" lists, and for good reason. He's an incredible drummer.
It was mentioned by someone else...I second the request to listen to Men at Work, specifically "Overkill" check out an unplugged version that Colin Hay(not sure that's his correct last name) did more recently
Always so in the pocket!
check out some oysterhead
He's almost as good as the drummer for Bo Donaldson and the Heywoods.
Dude you always get all mushy when you see different races getting along. It’s lovely to witness. Keep it up man
#unity
Yeah I am that way too - I really am, I cannot stop getting so excited about all these young BLACK kids reacting to OUR music. Joy.
Good classic music will always cross every nationality.
Ronette Pampaian Music is universal. Prince taught me that. God I miss him💜💜💜💜🎸🎸🎸🎸
And that's the way it should be. I'm a 63-year-old white guy and I can't get my head around trying to understand why people judge others by race. Truth is there is one race - the human race - and it is diversity that makes is beautiful.
me too
"It's a big enough umbrella, but it's always me that ends up getting wet" is probably one of the best lines Sting ever wrote...
Agreed
So good, he used it in two songs!
Nobody sounds like The Police. Unique, original, talented and so special. ❤
King of pain is a good one.
Hear, hear!
"King Of Pain" and "Invisible Sun", my top 2 Police songs, both incredibly underrated.
The lyrics are incredible
The drummer is an American named Stewart Copeland, and you're right about his role. He's a great drummer, and has long been ranked in the top 10 best of all time near Neil Peart of Rush and John Bonham of Zeppelin.
Personally I think I actually prefer him to Neil and John. They're all amazing of course just with someone different styles.

Stewart Copeland is just amazing drummer. He flows like a river. Makes it looks easy. I love this man's drumming
Lead vocals and bass, Sting; Guitar, Andy Summers and the beast on the drums, Stewart Copeland. One of the best Police songs ever. Thanks for posting.
There's a ton of people out that don't know that Sting is a hell of a bass player.
One of the Wailers (Bob Marley's band; I can't remember which one) called Sting the greatest reggae bass player of all time.
Ron Hillier definitely a great bassist
Was that him slapping it on"When the World is Runnin Down"?
He's an incredible musician, singer, songwriter and musical historian... A few years ago I saw a special where he was singing and playing medieval songs from the era... Incredible stuff!
@@kathynicholson103 It's him, but I'm pretty sure it's a pick and not slapping. I've never seen him slap, and both the note choice and the tone sound more like a pick.
As I said before: Stewart Copeland IS everything!
facts
Agreed!
Just ask Stewart....😜😂😂
Vinnie & Omar ain't no slouches either! Sting has always had the best drummers around.
@@Fiveandime Stewart Copeland is the G.O.A.T.!
true
Stewart Copeland is the man. Perfect Drummer. The Engine of the Band.
MrAitraining and Sting was the fuel the engine ran on. All the members are incredible musicians in their own rights but Sting is a pure genius.
...and the guy who formed the band.
Walking On the Moon!
Stewart Copeland. A MASTER at the kit. Multiple rhythms going on at the same time.
"spirits in the material world" by The Police!!!!!
Check out The Police - Synchronicity II
Delicate Gee I think this tune is their best. I also love Neal Schon and Arnel Pineda’s cover of it
Yes!
I second this
Yes!
Hell Yes!
A jazz bassist, a professional guitar player and a drummer raised in the Middle East. It don't get no cooler than that.
So love this song. Stewart on the drums, HOLY SHIT! AMAZING! Love the whole vibe and energy of the video..
Rick Beato does an awesome ‘what makes this song great’ for this
S G Yes! Highly recommend everyone that loves music checking out his channel.
Definitely!!
Rick is a treasure. His appreciation for music is inspiring! ANY song he does in his WMTSG that you know/love will make you love it even more! It’s like listening to a song for the first time again!
There is a special place in my heart for Sting and The Police. These songs have been a part of my life for so many years. I'm so glad you're checking them out. Keep going! :)
I always had a place in my heart for Stewart Copeland and the Police.
Sting: Oh I tried before to tell her...
Brother J: OH HELL NO! 🤯
Priceless. 😀
“Driven to Tears”, “Walking On The Moon”, and “When The World Is Running Down You Make The Best Of What’s Still Around.”
Absolutely Driven to Tears! That is a great drumming song. Trying to mimic Stewart Copeland's right hand on the ride and bell is tough.
3rd request. Driven to Tears!
Definitely need a “Driven to Tears” reaction.
Add *"Voices In My Head"* to that list...
Check out ' Walking on the Moon ' , King of Pain , When the World is Running Down ...... and a somewhat hidden jazzy gem , Murder by Numbers
Jerry Petrillo murder by numbers is one of my favorites!!!!
I'd add 'Spirits in the Material World' as well. :)
Ooh yes, Murder By Numbers.. love it
Synchronicity II is great too!
Jerry Petrillo that’s a must see.....✌🏻
This song came out when i was in high school. I was a total metal head. That's all I listened to. Nothing else. I heard this song and I was done. Greatness is greatness. These 3 guys are greatness. They really introduced me to other music at the time. I could bang my head to Metallica and The Police. My head was banging through that chorus. Ya baby!
Yep, my metal bros gave me serious shit over this.
I'm a metalhead now, I still believe metal is the most dynamic genre with SO many different sounds crammed into it.
One of the greatest feel good songs of all time, love your reaction man
"Those drums were everything." YES!! Stewart Copeland is the GOAT.
Drums: Stewart Copeland, the American in the band. His dad Miles Copeland was a big-time spook and one of the founding officers of the CIA. He was mostly stationed in London and that's how Stewart met the other two lads.
Their record company was IRS and their booking agent was FBI. Pretty funny.
@@themoviedealers The Police were on A&M.
Didn’t know that, nice one 👍🏾
Miles was his brother, and president of IRS records. They grew up back and forth between Beirut and London, as their dad was a spy.
Miles is his brother
I just like the way they "E-Oh".
Andy Summers is one of the best guitarist around. So modest and highly underrated. My all time favourite band, hands down.
Neil peart and Stewart Copeland two of the best drummers in the world and my favorites 😃
Try “Englishman in New York” by sting. It’s got some fantastic sax in it.
scuttle77 one of my absolute faves! That sax: amazing!!!!❤️
The great Bradford Marsalis
That is definitely one of their top 20
scuttle77 omg excellent.....😀
ooooo that sax gives be goosebumps
Glad you're digging the dynamic trio. They were really something else. And YES, Stewart Copeland is drummer Royalty, for sure. Peace, mate!
Yes. The Police. One of my favorite bands of the 80s. Sting on vocals 🔥🔥🔥
Neil Peart and this drummer(Stewart Copeland) became really good friends over the last decade or so. Two of my main influences on the drums. Thanks for everything guys!!!
As a kid I wanted to be half as cool as Stewart Copeland the drummer, I still do.
Yep, my first kit as a kid. I wanted to be Stuart!
Always loved it when they were on Top of the Pops. Never knew what Stewart was going to use instead of drums that week
He's still cool.
@@j.kevvideoproductions.6463 and I'm still not lol
Stewart Copeland is an amazing drummer. The Police were just 3 amazingly talented guys who made incredible music stripped down to its basic components. So cool to see you enjoying them, man.
A few of their best...
“Driven To Tears”
“When The World Is Running Down..”
“So Lonely”
facts
So true!
Driven to Tears! Yes!
Yes!!!
"Driven to tears" INTO "when the world is running down". Back to back is the best. Like the LP. Perfect flow.
Sting always had an orchestral feel to every tune he wrote whether simple or complex. A true artist.
It’s so great watching you realize you’ve heard this in the background of your life....but then you get to really listen. I think it’s great
Jamel: Look at all the fun they are having, interacting with the people.
Remember: At the time they were in their late 20's and making MILLIONS! I'd do a happy dance too.
Nemo But they were already starting to hate each other (well, mostly Sting), even at this point.

I can see ur into this 80s vibe you HAVE to react to Men at work - “Down Under“ Thats their most famous song but they have soo many other amazing songs youd like em
and Overkill
And who can it be now
My favorite was always Down By The Sea.
Top band
Yonnies in the wind - atmospheric 👍
"Walking On the Moon" is another of their songs with a pretty obvious island vibe.
And Stewart Copeland, the drummer, is a well-respected musician. Good ear.
The first time I heard this song on the radio when it came out, I thought, "Every little bit of this is MAGIC!" It remains my fave song by The Police.
Stewart Copeland on the drums!
Well put my friend. Your honesty brings this fifty-one year old great appreciation for what I thought was long gone...
These reaction videos (yours among only a few), have really brought great music back to life... Thanks!! ✌
As a 50 year old, I second that!
"Do I have to tell the story of a thousand rainy days since we first met? It's a big enough umbrella, but it's always me that ends up getting wet..."
Love this song! In 82' had a wonderful boyfriend have the DJ dedicate this song to me. He's gone but damn, I still turn the volume up nice and loud when I hear it play!
Same happened to me!
Stewart Copeland is the Drummer, He's one of, if not the hardest hitting drummer out there!! One of the Greatest!!
"synchronicity 2" is one of my faves.
My favorite drummer - so very musical. And ALWAYS deep in the pocket. Walking on the moon drum fills just haunt me.
The great Stewart Copeland...born in good ol' Alexandria VA on July 16...we share that in common...he's one of the greatest of all time on the drums!!! SO much flavor in the ear candy

"Can't Stand Losing You" and "King of Pain" are two of my favorites from the Police.
Such energy and joy. They so enjoyed themselves.
Stewart Copeland is one of my top 5 drummers I have been fortunate to see play live. I got to see The Police a long time ago in the early 80's.
This is why I love your channel. Heartfelt reactions, remembering bits of songs from your work or from your youth. It’s great to live vicariously thru your eyes and ears and remember theses times of my youth.

Quick story. I went home and got with a few guys from high school
I brought your CZcams up and said watch this guy react to our music from 35 years ago
They said why in thee hell would we want to watch that.
6 hours, and many many cases of beer later... they loved you.
Thank you for thst night of laughs and music.
We loved the van halen. Just wish you could have done the older and deeper cuts. :)
Thanks again!
thump weitzel that’s an awesome story!!!
@@lindaslattery8341 they can't wait for the next get together to do it again.

I loves Stewars chops and high plays perfectly withing the constraints of the band well still adding spice withing the pocket.One of my all time favorite drummers .
This is my Jam for life! Stewart Copeland's drums get my feet moving.
For those who might know, the bass line is in lydian mode. Sting's genius on display.
But the synthesizer pattern sounds to me like a Mannheim Steamroller pattern
Stuart Copeland is the drummer. The Dude is Locked In.
Listen to “Walking on the Moon” - also Police.
Copeland lays down a haunting tension between triplets and four on the floor; it’ll get in your head and you’ll never get it out. Insane.
Stewart Copeland is an amazing Drummer! They are an amazing group as a whole but each as an individual is so incredibly talented individual.
I agree with you about having an "Old Soul" my wife and I are the same, that's why we like watching your reviews and the music.
I mentioned "Driven to Tears" by the Police and since you like the regge flavor, well, YOU MUST CHECK IT OUT NOW🛎🛎
Yes, a perfect example.
Yes. Driven to tears/ when the world is running down
That one and also
*"Voices In My Head"* is a great track. But the whole *Zenyatta Mondatta* Lp is stellar...
I like the version off the Bring on the Night album where they jazzed it up.
Oh my God yes my favorite
Stewart Copeland is the drummer. 4th child of Miles Copeland II who along with George H W Bush was one of the founding members of the CIA. Stewart is American but was raised in Lebanon.
When I watched this video I can't help feeling like something beautiful is about to happen in the world of music.
Always loved this song. Loved "King of Pain," too.
I love your reaction when you know the song, and just realized THIS is THAT song! And your so excited that your gonna hear it. You remind me of a kid on Christmas morning! You make me smile! Keep up the great work! 👍
Brother, you have no idea how happy it makes me you love the music of my favorite band...
Me "I" was 22 years old me and my brother would've
gone to all the FREE NELSON MANDELA CONCERTS in the 1970s. I have great memories. Thank you for downloading on CZcams.
there IS be a Rick Beato ‘what makes this song great’ on CZcams. I remember being impressed. (EPISODE 2)
I love the look on your face when you realise you know a song!!!
I just cannot get enough of my man's reaction to this song and video. I've been rewatching this every day for 2 weeks now. Love it!
This band was my son's very first concert, in July 2008, on their farewell tour. My son was 12 and loved The Police, and at 23, he still does.
The members of "The Police":
Sting: Lead vocals,bass and Keyboards
Andy Summers: guitars and background vocals
Stewart Copeland: Drums and background vocals
Those 3 were magical.
Yeah! The Police is the bomb, and this is one of my favorite songs.😍
I'm glad you like this jam!!
"It's a big enough umbrella But it's always me that ends up getting wet."🎵🎵
Stewart Copeland is the drummer, he's bad 4 real!😍
I'm so happy I found this channel, and a young man that likes and appreciates my type of music, see ya soon, on the next video.🙂🎵
Driven To Tears one of the best Police songs
This is Stewart's best drum work in my opinion. Absolutely incredible.
I hope this leads you to two bands called The Specials and Madness.
Ghost Town by The Specials and Our House by Madness.
Message to you Rudy.💛
@@megandavies8590 absolutely. Prefer the original though 👍❤️
Ghost Town is one of my all time favourite songs. I spent a long time in town that radically declined and it's heartbreaking going back to visit.
I am dying for someone to react to “Free Nelson Mandela” by the Special AKA
Beautiful track. All the jazzy changes, the calypso chorus, Stings voice and vocal arrangements, Stewart murdering. and the ending is incredible. I love them so much. Do "Bed's Too Big" "Secret Journey" "Once Upon A Daydream" Listen to the live stuff. SICK! I got a whole damn list on my channel. I've been rocking them for decades!
I'm a big fan of The Police and it's a real pleasure to watch you hearing these songs through for the first time. It gives me a new appreciation for them!
WRAPPED AROUND YOUR FINGER by them is so gorgeous, if you want to give it a listen. Sting is such a great, metaphorical writer... very smart man.
They recorded this whole album on The Caribbean Island of Montserrat. They are singing for the people there.
Wasn't this song or the mixing done at Le Studio in Quebec?
George Martin’s studio - lost with the village in a major volcanic explosion
@@audiotomb Destroyed by Hurricane Hugo in 1989, not a volcano.
You should listen to their song “walking on the moon” one of the most reggae tracks in their discography. God bless and happy easter.
the counterpoint is impressive. played this live and sang it
I love that they always look like they are having FUN in their videos. You can tell they love what they do and dont take themselves too seriously.
The outside scenes were in Monsterratt in the Caribbean. The steel drums are the national instrument of Trinidad and Tobago, and were featured in many songs in the 70's and 80's.
Too bad a volcano later erupted and destroyed the village where they filmed the outdoor sections of the video. A real shame. Feel so bad for those people.
Stewart Copeland on drums, both Stewart and Sting admitted that they had massive fights whilst the band was going, but they are still best friends
This is one of my favorite songs. A beautiful song. It's from my childhood. So that makes it super special. It was my sister's song ( RIP😢). THANKS FOR PLAYING IT.
Watching your reactions is EPIC! The Police touring for the Synchronicity was my first rock concert, nothing has ever topped that experience.
"Driven to tears / into "when the world is running down" is a great back to back in one flow listen.
Sting plays a role in the 1980's movie Dune. Plays one of the bad dudes.
classic movie! a must see
The world needs so much more of this....
The Police were HUGE in the late 70's and early 80's - four number 1 albums in a row! They sold over 75 million records. They recorded most of this album at AIR Studios in Montserrat in the Caribbean. Pretty sure that's where this video was shot. You're not wrong about Stewart Copeland - he's one of the best drummers ever. There are a lot of really good rock drummers but there are 3 that stand out, IMHO: Bill Bruford (Yes, King Crimson - my favorite), Niel Peart, and Stewart Copeland. If you expand that to four, I'd add John Bonham next. Look forward to more Police! Thanks!
