1st !! 😄
STICK to it Stewart! 🥁🔊🎶👍☮️
Music is the gift that makes life worth living.☮️🎶
"I'm gonna go get the papers, get the papers."
Anything can be a musical instrument if you are brave enough.
The Police was Stuart's band. Just saying. I love him.
I saw Stewart in a cab last summer in NY. This is a very innovative, charming idea to incorporate animals
Stewart has lived a life and I love how he has embraced it, fully. Jealous, really.
Copeland is the man!! I went to my local record store for Stewart Copeland's The Rhythmatist but much to my disappointment it was unavailable. I am still hunting for it for the next couple of days!
Gold
Awesome 👏🏻 ❤❤❤❤
I thought I would miss CBS as I won’t watch it once Corbett is gone. After watching this episode of 60 minutes I realized that I won’t be missing anything. This was terrible. 😣.
Thought this was interesting
The best 👍👍
Stewart Copeland turns his studio into a library. I would have watched that.
Phenomenal gifted drummer, musician, and composer. Wild Concerto is more than a masterpiece, it’s life itself, and a clarion call to care, honor, and protect Mother Earth. Martyn Stewart devoted his life to recording those fragile sounds, and it was carved out in the rock of ages for him to connect with Stewart Copeland to bring them to musical life with music. It’s beyond despair, knowing that some of the animal sounds we heard, are already extinct… our priorities should be in doing what we can… every country united to save them.
Bring back the great Stewart Copeland 2017 opera The Invention of Morel!!!
I like the last quote… "I want to be the Jimi Hendrix of Timpani"!!! Could you imagine him setting those drum heads on fire? 🔥 It would one Hell of a finale!!! 😊
Somewhere, Sting is laughing his head off.
🔥🤘💖🐰🦄💖💯🤘🔥
Bravo, hopefully there are here to stay, and others where are they,?, and the voices answer: they are free they do what they want
In the late 70s longbarn skating rink was alive and well. The cafe that burned down use to have bands. I remember a band that was there playing de do do do de da da da
Do Andy Summers next!
Stewart Copeland is Brilliant 🥁
That scene with him playing in front of a pack of Lions was INSANE !!! I loved it. Oh & BTW, Good interview, seems like a lot of fun 🤩
I want that Gong!!!!!
Cool drum beat
Yes master ❤
Great example of a music loving musician. It’s all about the feeling not the fame.
There's a custom snare made in honor of him called the arrogant X. It's sounds like you would expect. 😊
Love Copeland. Great drummer!
He cracks up 😂
Dope !!!
A human rhythm machine!
Warren Smith has been the Hendrix of timpani for decades. Airto implemented a percussion table in his drum set up decades ago. In any case Stewart is a great creative drummer.
🤘
The GOAT
SUCCESSFUL ADHD IS AT PLAY/WORK!
How does Stuart do ALL this, AND still find time to be the Governor of the USA State of Oregon ? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EVwhs2syz8s
Stewart is a total badass. Love the Tama drums. Hate the Paiste cymbals
Very strange that they didn’t mention Andy Summers when they said, ‘he was in the band The Police along side Sting’
Like wtf
This guy sure doesn’t need coffee! 😊
Wonderful, Copeland is so full of life.
60 minutes walked right up to the shark but didn't jump
A genius
