STEWART COPELAND

I really love many quotes, but this one I just find it, make me feel so excited. It shake my heart!

[quote]"As a singer there isn't anybody in the world who could do a better job than Sting. He's in tune and he's got a great rhythmic feel. He was born with that voice, but he uses it so well too. And I've got a definite telepathy with his bass playing." - Stewart[/quote]

Police's pals forever and ever... :arrow:

Keep On Trucking :!:

Not quite a quote but I really like it !! :lol:

Interviewer: When did you realize it wasn't a sabbatical?

Stewart: I haven't.

... I'm sort of "the Zen art of group reformation."

Article appeared in a July 1997 issue of Rolling Stone magazine

Awww, that is awesome.

From the recent NYTimes article (in the Links section, but probably behind a subscription firewall now):

[quote]“When we arrived here in Vancouver, we had big musical problems. And we didn’t resolve them by shouting at each other, by getting angry at each other, by power plays, by any of that stuff. We resolved our musical issues by comity. The music was sick, and we had to use our social bond to get through and try different solutions to the musical problems.

“It sounds cool that angst, sturm and drang, produces music with fire. No. We’re going to get to fire by love. Because we love each other.”[/quote]

as a consatntly frustrated drummer, this is the most memorable for me:

'They're easy to play...drums are really easy. It's a joke.'

" A paradigm of the cosmos" Stewart (interviewed by Jools Holland)

by **GinaSuperCat** on 27 Feb 2007 23:18

Haha Marshmallow Jones, that's one of my faves too...you can tell that Jools is thinking the same sentiment when he gives the drums a go after being enlightened by Stewart

Stewart, From 2000 Revolver interview: "That was our basic policy anyway. Always has been. Throw out Sting's arrangement, keep his lyrics and the song."

"Hey Andy, what do you throw a drowning guitarist? His amp!"

Sting, from lore, "now about those drum parts..."

I can't remember the exact wording, but the bit about conquering the world and enslaving our children works for me.

Yeah, something about raping and pillaging their way across land, burning down villages, enslaving children, eating kings/queens etc...
Actually, if you follow reports from Billboard about how the tour's doing so far w/ticket sales and such, apparently Stewart's not really that far off from the truth w/that statement...
What a time to be a Police fan!!! Ahhh.....

"I've used cocaine before because it was the only thing that would get me on the stage. I think that's a justifiable use of a chemical."
--Sting in L'Historia d'Bandito

So do I, Sting, so do I.

"Someday they'll be teaching classes about me in college"-
SC on the Today show

Ok, I have no idea what the actual quote was or if it was on the
Today show or on Good Morning America.

That is true. I used many SC/Kinetic Kid examples in my prep classes...

Next semester I will teach in college and for sure I will use Kinetic Kid examples...

My son made a final text for a class, and the theme was The music from Stewart Copeland.

KK is a nowadays school theme, prep theme, and will be next semester college theme... :wink:

Lost in a labarynthine succession of link-clicking and having forgotten what I was looking for, I unwittingly found a hysterical Stewart-ism I hadn't heard before...and perhaps answering many questions about whether Stewart will go blonde for this tour...

"I stopped bleaching my hair 20 years ago but now it's bleaching itself"

[/quote]

That is true.

When Grammys presentation happened, one of my exstudents told me the next day- Hey teacher, did you saw at grammys your blonde dummer...

I said; For sure I was looking at his happiness and I was so happy too... :mrgreen:

INTERVIEWER: Since you have gone on to many different careers since The Police, looking back, is there anything that you would have done differently, along the way, or even from your very beginning in the music industry?

STEWART: I would've been nicer to Sting, I think.
