The Stewart Copeland Interview

First Sting, then Andy, and now Stewart! You've done a great job here Rick, thank you!

I am 100% absolutely convinced that if Stewart was ever interviewed about hanging drywall, it would be THE most interesting conversation about drywall, ever. Great job, Rick!! Love your interviews.

Stewart talks like he plays the drums. Never a dull moment.

Stewart is the teacher in high school or professor in college that opened up your entire way of thinking he was so great. And you remember him forever.

Copeland is like 71 years old...it's incredible how youthful he is!

One of the best interviews of a musician ever. Stewart's personality is so conversation-friendly.

Rick Beato is without doubt THE best interviewer of musicians. Knowledgable, articulate, patient and friendly. No ego going on here just the desire to get the musician talking freely and interestingly about their craft. Stewart Copland is such an entertaining guy to listen to as well as being a terrific drummer and I am a fan for sure. Occasionally I had to pause and take a break for a cup of tea cos his energy levels are off the scale! Keep 'em coming Rick. Love your work.

Stewart Copeland one of the greatest drummers of all time! Exceptional person, entertaining, intelligent, great sense of humor and respectful. Amazing interview Mr.Beato🙌🏻

Dude is so genuine, no filter, I love it.

Imagine having Stewart Copeland in your band, not wanting his creative input and still producing the hits they did. A lot of brilliance in one band.

My musical hero since I was 10 years old in 1980. Had posters of him and his drum kits all over my room. I since became a pro touring drummer and it’s all because of this guy.

"The Police was like a Prada suit made out of razor blades" - Stewart Copeland

Rick, you’re a Godsend. The Police remain the most interesting and enigmatic band in music history. This series probably serves as the closing chapter in their story, and you helped them write it. On behalf of billions of Police fans, THANK YOU.

Stu (at 71!) is a live wire; never a dull moment as he soft sells his genius. As one of--if not "the"--greatest drummers of all time you pair him with Andy's genius and a songsmith like Sting and it was just lightning in a bottle. No surprise with that much genius in one space that it would only hold together so long. But how lucky we are that it did. And Rick, hats off to getting all The Police together as the first "band" in your 1-on-1 interviews. It was a masterclass in letting the interviewee talk and in moving them into new and fascinating places. Hearing each member's perspective was just... You've wondered where this channel should go? Don't change a thing!

Stewart was magnetic as could be in The Police and it’s even more fun to hear him interviewed in his later years. Sounds like a a great guy to be your friend to hang with on a regular basis.

This is probably the most revelatory interview on what it’s like to be in a band with a musical genius while all you want to do is play music and have fun .. 👍

Great interview. Stewart is still so youthful at 71. Fantastic energy and sense of humor.

So grateful you were able to interview all three members of The Police. Exceptional musicians and people.

I could listen to Stewart talk for hours. Passionate, full of energy, and really shows a self awareness about band dynamics and how egos can make things go sideways.

Man, Stewart Copeland is sooo entertaining. The part where is singing "jaazz chords" talking about Sting and Andy writing Murder By Numbers had me laughing out loud.
