Every video I've seen with Stewart has shown him to be enthusiastic and filled with joy. Seems like a really cool and down to earth dude, especially for having been such a rockstar.
Once bought drumskins,and the guy behind the counter said "Hello,mr.Stewart,can i help you?" And sure,it WAS him. He said i was there before him,so i paid and left, thinking "he might be famous(and very tall!),but he doesnt seem to be an a-hole!"😁 20 years later..Still think he isnt ,at all!!😉
Spirits In The Material World has been one of my favorite songs since I was a 6 year old kid back when it came out. That bass line mixed with the synthesizer rhythm patterns intertwining throughout the song is absolutely mesmerizing. A true classic.
@@HangsLopsided How is his voice these days? I know he never did any real vocal theatrics, so his singing should still be good. But he is getting up there in years as well.
I used to sell High Wnd Audio from 1978-2008 and Spirits in the Material World was one of my go to demo disks. The snap on Stewarts snare drum would tell me instantly if the speaker and associated electronics could resolve the attack and decay of transients. Stewart has always been one of my favorite percussionist/drummer.
Not AI though this is still really cool. The backing tracks that come installed on some keyboards are recordings of MIDI programmed in a DAW by musicians. I do like the idea of coming up with a groove or songs by using a backing track. There’s a lot you can do with time feel, harmony and melody which feel more natural to songwriters with a backing track.
@@just_ben1951 Not sure exactly what you”re describing but from your description that’s not Artificial Intelligence. They are backing tracksnow that use AI to generate musical responses to someone’s input but this was definitely not a thing in the early 80s. Backing tracks on some synths could be modified slightly with tempo controls, effects and transposition buttons but nothing like AI.
Everytime I see & hear Stewart Copeland, I always learn something mindblowing. Stewart has an uncanny ability to communicate with such next level intelligence that he could literally make even boring pamphlets seem earth shattering. His passion, drumming, creative mind & total individuality makes me want to listen to Stewart for hours. Copeland is by far my No1 ranked drummer next to Jeff Porcaro. If AI can become as good as Copeland, humanity is screwed. Spirits is such an awesome track & blew my mind when first hearing it on FOX FM. Seriously, I'm slightly hyperventilating even over the possibility that Rick managed to score an interview with Stewart as it's been on my wish list forever. God bless you both Rick & Stewart!
I agree with some of these comments.... That's not AI, a person comes up with all the demos and parts we hear in all the keyboards we've all used. It had to be programmed. But I do also believe it's all there for our inspiration and creation. 🤟
IMHO one of the best songs of all time, and one of my favorite songs of all time, from my favorite Police album. The complexity, the varying time signatures (seemingly) diverging then coming back together in and locking, Stewart's signature syncopation, was endlessly fascinating to me as a 14 year old in 1981, and still is today.
What makes a great drummer is the crazy stuff he/she comes up with - even if all the decent ones have playing chops. Stewart was driven to always be unique, original, always looking for something new and cool sometimes driving Sting crazy! But you almost want to give him the edge for The Police's success. Sting's post-Police music is good, but not so much for me, it's his Police stuff that still makes me want to put on Synchronicity or Ghost! The Police was a ready-made supergroup, they were all superstar caliber and Stewart was monstrous.
I would love to hear a McCartney interview! Just as long as McCartney doesn’t just regurgitate the same old stories he’s been telling for the last 20 years, about how we added a Moog flute lick to the start of strawberry fields etc etc etc 😂
Hey Rick. After seeing the interview with Andy. Which I love by the way. I was thinking, well the only missing member is Stewart Copeland. And here he is. With Michael McDonald I thought my luck is run out BUT an interview with Stewart. I seem to have a little bit left. 😜 Another one to look forward too. Yes yes yes. 🙏🏻
I remember seeing Stewart back in the seventies with Curved Air and Sonja Christina. At one gig in St Albans they were jamming on stage with Dutch band Trace when Andy Powell from Wishbone Ash joined them on stage, great concert.
I just watched the entire Rick Beato interview of Stewart. I couldn't put it down. Hilarious and excellent. It's 2am now. I'm glad that I don't have to fall asleep at the wheel on the way home from work later, especially since it's Friday now.😂😅🤣🥁
I was in a situation, like a very professional party, where a live band was playing, and I was sitting on a speaker right behind the drummer. I’m thinking, “this drummer is really good.” I put two and two together, and realize that I am literally 2 feet away from Stewart Copeland as he’s playing. Like sitting right over his shoulder. I could’ve grabbed his stick. Got to meet him after the music, he was nice enough but super famous, which is always weird. But that’s still a WOW moment I’ll never forget.
Casio did not have ghosting on those keys and they had a cool record function where you could smash the keys. It would only play back 1 note at a time in crazy sequences! Loved messing on them.
Spirits is a masterpiece recording. Sting’s bass line really adds to disguising the where the one is. Please talk about Voices Inside My Head. Another asskicking recording.
He did it... Rick has interviewed every member of The Police. ✊️
What about Henry Padovani?
Greatest band ever!
Have absolutely been waiting for this! And was thinking the same thing, pulled off the trifecta...
He must have done something illegal to accomplish this..I'm calling the police 😂
@@laschequeMerde!
Yes. Finally Stewart makes an appearance? Bravo Rick!
That interview is old.
@@svenwahnsinn734it certainly is not. It’s not even out yet
@@svenwahnsinn734 now that's a lazy troll! Bravo, sir!!!
That bassline is friggin incredible
Yes! That grabbed my attention when I first heard the song.
Sting is an extremely underrated bass player.
Amen....it grabs you.
I could listen to Stewart all day
yeah me too, he's good and interesting person
❤ yes me too, cool guy with great talent

DUUUUDE. Rick interviewed Stewart!?! Can't wait to see it!
😍😍
Didn’t interview, it was a conversation 😉
Saved the best for last. Holy Trinity is now complete. Rick has interviewed Sting, Andy, and now Stewart.
One of the greatest ever, and Stewart Copeland
Spirits In The Material World has been one of my favorite songs since I was a 6 year old kid back when it came out. That bass line mixed with the synthesizer rhythm patterns intertwining throughout the song is absolutely mesmerizing. A true classic.
Love Stewart. Love his personality, his energy, his talent, etc.
Stewart , Alex & Geddy should make an album .
Damn that would be unreal
And Sting should sing. Geddy on lead bass and some vocals.
@@HangsLopsided How is his voice these days? I know he never did any real vocal theatrics, so his singing should still be good. But he is getting up there in years as well.
Most legit idea ever
NO Geddy!
One of the finest drumer ever Mr. Copeland 🇲🇽✌😎

Interesting, that’s very cool. Stewart’s playing /drums have such a unique sound!
Very cool!

Yeah but what if backing track chords change based on piano keys that are pressed. That's what he's saying.

Absolutely one of the greatest drummers that ever lived.
I love Stewart.💛🥁
I would listen to someone from that world for as long as they wanted to talk. The stories!
Crazy. One of my favorite Police songs.
Really looking forward to the whole interview now…Stewart is music royalty in my house.

AI is going to annihilate creativity.
I think he means the Casio riffs would change based on what keys you pressed.
AAAIIIIIEEEEEEE!!!! Beato Talks to Mr. STEWART COPELAND! 😍😍😍😍😍😍!!!!!
Man, you interview all The Police. What a legend.
Stewart is the greatest combination of skill and personality in all of rock!
I had the small Casio that had the sampler on it. Got it my first year in college in 85.
I requested an interview with him some months back in the comments and loads of people seemed to concur. So glad this has happened 🥹
One of their greatest songs
All three intwrviews are simply amazing. Sting's is about music, Andy's is about story and Stewart's is a high functioning genius talking stuff...
The trifecta I’ve been waiting on
Can’t wait for this entire episode. Love Stewart!
This song contains one of the best snare sounds ever recorded.
"Spirits... " was inspired by noodling on a Casio? What a great story!
Wonderful, Rick has interviewed all 3 of The Police.
Yes, finally!
IMHO one of the best songs of all time, and one of my favorite songs of all time, from my favorite Police album. The complexity, the varying time signatures (seemingly) diverging then coming back together in and locking, Stewart's signature syncopation, was endlessly fascinating to me as a 14 year old in 1981, and still is today.

@@sisyphuscranerigging7792 100% agree
Stewart is absolutely the coolest dude...
Brilliant drummer/composer!
rick is interviewing everyone cant wait until the paul mccartney interview
I would love to hear a McCartney interview! Just as long as McCartney doesn’t just regurgitate the same old stories he’s been telling for the last 20 years, about how we added a Moog flute lick to the start of strawberry fields etc etc etc
😂
The trio is now complete!
Spirits in the material world, was a great album! One of my all time favorites. Synchronicity is also great.
It’s true. I remember those little keyboards. They were so much fun.
Stewart, wow, what a legend. Finally after Sting and Andy, thx, Rick
Now only Henry Padovani left.
Well whatever it was it came together good as gold. Darn fine dance music too.
Incredible album. Still sounds amazing.
Great song. It's sad that it's lyrics are still so relevant after _more than 40 years_ .
Release these interviews please!!
That’s the first album I ever bought ( in ‘82) and still my favorite 🤩
incredible band.
Hey Rick. After seeing the interview with Andy. Which I love by the way. I was thinking, well the only missing member is Stewart Copeland. And here he is.
With Michael McDonald I thought my luck is run out BUT an interview with Stewart. I seem to have a little bit left. 😜
Another one to look forward too. Yes yes yes. 🙏🏻
The Steward of the Beats
@@Dan_Pearson thank you. Has been corrected. 👍🏻
OK, so when will this interview drop Rick? You threw the bait out and we're hooked. 👍
My God ! So good to see Mr STEWARD COPELAND founder of The Police! He is one of the Best Drumers of all time !!!
He's such a wealth of knowledge when he behaves
I watched the entire interview was great really really great
I remember seeing Stewart back in the seventies with Curved Air and Sonja Christina. At one gig in St Albans they were jamming on stage with Dutch band Trace when Andy Powell from Wishbone Ash joined them on stage, great concert.
I was begging for this just a few weeks ago, and Rick delivered.
So humble.
Been waiting for this, so glad you finally got the full set
Yeah, that’s not AI.
One the best produced and sounding records EVER! Love it
I KNEW IT ! Sting, then Andy. I though that eventually you'd get to the shy member of The Police. Another great interview on the way. Can't wait.
Isn't the shy member is actually Andy?
Ha! ☕️
@@theempires5 Methinks he's being sarcastic :)
@@theempires5 it’s called sarcasm.
Shy, reserved, and totally laid back. Which is how he approached music.
Wow! All three! I can’t wait to watch this one! Congrats!
I’m so excited for this interview!
Wow! This will be un-missable 😃
I just watched the entire Rick Beato interview of Stewart. I couldn't put it down. Hilarious and excellent. It's 2am now. I'm glad that I don't have to fall asleep at the wheel on the way home from work later, especially since it's Friday now.😂😅🤣🥁
Was waiting for the 3rd interview!
I don't know but I remember hearing that song as a kid and loving it when Space I Invaders was popular on Atari. I still like it .
I was in a situation, like a very professional party, where a live band was playing, and I was sitting on a speaker right behind the drummer.
I’m thinking, “this drummer is really good.”
I put two and two together, and realize that I am literally 2 feet away from Stewart Copeland as he’s playing. Like sitting right over his shoulder. I could’ve grabbed his stick.
Got to meet him after the music, he was nice enough but super famous, which is always weird. But that’s still a WOW moment I’ll never forget.
If you ever interview the Police trio together you will be a Rock n’ RUclips God. And, if you do, bring security.
I've watched all three interviews and they're all pretty consistent. Thank you very much for putting these on the air
My favorite Police album
Incredible!
Ghost in a machine. May be my favorit Police album.
Awesome interview! Your de force for Rick! Bravo🙌🏻
I cannot believe we know have RICK BEATO interviews with every member of the police!!!!
So cool. 🤘
Great song
The drumming GOAT
Casio did not have ghosting on those keys and they had a cool record function where you could smash the keys. It would only play back 1 note at a time in crazy sequences! Loved messing on them.
My favorite police album
Wow! I still have one of those from the early 80’s.
I've been a rock drummer since the early '80's...and Copeland ranks as one of the top 10 drummers of all time...bee'lee dat'!!
Ohhh yeah!!!! Cannot wait to see this whole interview. Way to Go Rick!!
That whole album still kicks ass! Demolition Man is my favorite Police song.
Amazing 🤩
Stewart Copeland is a great drummer.
Cant wait!!
Ok, now let’s get Geddy and Alex on this channel.
Rush is a north american thing...Here in Europe they are almost unknown...The Police best band ever
I had that same wtf look as Rick... Love your channel Rick
Stewart! Woot!
Spirits is a masterpiece recording. Sting’s bass line really adds to disguising the where the one is.
Please talk about Voices Inside My Head. Another asskicking recording.
I SUSPECTED This drum beat's origins are not 100% human.
VINDICATED!!!!
I had one of those little Casio's but, never coaxed anything as good as Spirits out of it. Looking forward to this interview!
Rick, when can we see the full interview?
I wish I could have seen Stewart Copeland with the Detroit Symphony Orchestra last year.
Can’t wait to see it Rick! When does the interview drop?
I said about two months ago that he should interview Stewart. Ya dancer...
Look up Man in a Suitcase and De Doo Doo Da live in Essen. Peak Stewart!
And I think is their best song 😅
When is this dropping? ❤❤❤
Cannot wait for this!
