Sting clashes with Stewart Copeland

[victoza]

Fun Fact: The Police always rehearsed in black and white, but performed their concerts in color.

No one fires Stuart Copeland and is ever taken seriously again.

As soon as Sting said that all Stewart could think was, "I'm going to put that bass drum on 3"

I watched this documentary, twice on You Tube. The clashes between Sting and Stewart were unavoidable. They're two music geniuses with strong characters and strong opinions.

Met Stewart at a Gavin Convention in San Francisco. I am a drummer, and it was so refreshing talking drumming with him. A great guy. He also was treating fans with the utmost respect.

Can we please get Andy in the discussion?

Andy….Fuck that.🤣🤣🤣💪👍🥃🎸

[angelotro]

I imagine Sting making the request that they "practice in black & white".😅

[apollocreed]

If Copeland gives you the perplexed look at any point, you are 100% wrong. He gave Sting at least 5 of those looks. Without Copeland, Gordon would never have made it.

Stewart is the goat, Sting. Not only is he one of the most influential drummers ever and my favorite drummer, he composed the score for my favorite childhood game, Spyro the Dragon. Im siding w him over Sting any day lol.🥁🐉🤓

[jeremyst.romain]

Stewart copleland is one of best drummers ever

Copeland should have just handed Sting the sticks and said show me exactly what you want.

[GregoryDuckworth-db]

Stewart's like "you want a f**king bass drum? Out of all the possibilities I can do!"

[PaulMarkwick]

‘Bandleader mentality’ usually known arrogance!

[wilfig]

I waited patiently for decades to see this reunion tour, all the while thinking they could break up at any moment. I was so nervous about the show being canceled, until I heard the crack of Stewart's snare flams into Message In A Bottle, that I believed the show was actually going to happen! LOL!

And it was awesome.

Sting is a genius songwriter/musician. Copland is an amazing drummer. The police would not be the police without either one of them.

[Mr.Sidenote]

If this is a clash, I owe the girl at the drive-thru an apology.

[kennyhamilton]

The Police never would have existed / would of made it without Stewart...

[shanehayes]

I was literally IN THE ROOM at the time. Was amazing!!!

[Winston_Smith-]

Sting is a self made man who worships his creator

[dougyoung]

Working out parts with band mates ain't always a bed of roses but that's collaboration. Can't argue with the success of this band.
