Rapper FIRST time REACTION to The Police - Message In A Bottle! FIRE!

[@flor9389]

The drummer, Stewart Copeland, is considered one of the top and most influential drummers of his generation.

[@user-or1ye3iz6d]

Incredibly SKILLED at his craft!! 🙌

[@lisajohnson521]

He totally is!!!!

[@stevemisog]

Stuart Copeland is my absolute favourite drummer of all time.

I will die on the hill that GenX still grew up with the most diverse and greatest music ever.

Yep that was my playlist around this time frame. I've always loved all the music of GenX.

[@kennethbartlett4302]

Totally agree. I was into late 60s stuff like Iron Butterfly. classic rock 70's, hair metal, 80's pop. I could be listening to Metallica or Culture Club. The music was so diverse.

Let's not forget that the silly drummer, Stewart Copeland, is a real beast at the drums (Top10/100 - Rolling Stone Magazine) and has composed a lot music/soundtracks for well known movies after the unfortunate breakup of The Police ... Nice reaction as well!

As much as I agree and love Copeland and The Police as a band, let's not use Rolling Stone as a parameter.

"Sample" lol plagiarism more like.

[@iancollins65]

@@KozueMegami well, yeah! As long as he is paying Sting to use it then it’s okay. Artists do that all the time. Heck, The Verve hardly makes a penny off their biggest song due to using the better part of a Rolling Stones song with their permission.

[@iancollins65]

@@mattsmith5609 if you get permission from the artist, or if you keep the sample short enough, it would not be considered stealing. There are many artists that are very talented with the use of samples. Ren, himself, uses samples at times and they are so beautifully incorporated into his song that you barely realize they are part of another song.

[@bethstratton3391]

The Police are an amazing band. I grew up listening to them. Every single they released was fire. Sting has a fantastically mellifluous voice, but Stuart Copeland’s drumming is truly genius he writes and composes brilliant music for movies too. Andy Summers is a very original guitar player who has a great deal of emotion in his way of playing, whilst keeping the punkiness in his style. Most people know tracks from the Outlandos D’Amour and Reggatta De Blanc albums, but my favourite album is Ghost In The Machine specifically the track Spirits In The Material World. My favourite single is Roxanne and this track Message In A Bottle.

[@djm0111]

By the time the Police released Every Breath You Take they were one of the biggest bands in the world, selling out stadiums globally. This was off their second album when they were still a punk/reggae/new wave fusion. LOVED this period of the band.

[@barmalgran4154]

They were the biggest band period my man- they were the Beatles of 1980s. They had the biggest tour till that time… Synchroncity was a massive successful album and tour

[@derekcartner4826]

"Every Breath You Take" their biggest hit or Synchronicity 2 is also an epic track worth listening to.

[@barmalgran4154]

The most played on song to date with 15 million+ plays… It is one of the biggest streaming legacy song on Spotify and with over 1 billion views on KZbin

[@abidababida7096]

Interesting fact about them; Sting was the band’s song writer. Sting is so talented that he would create these songs by himself, play the bass, guitar and drums as well as sing the songs, record them, then hold on to them until the band was ready to drop another album. Stew said he would hear Sting’s recordings and be like, “he didn’t even need us. By the time Andy and I heard the song it was already good enough to release”. Of course Sting didn’t do that and re-recorded his songs with the band until he was ready to leave them and become a solo artist… and history has shown just how successful he became on his own. The guy is like a musical freak of nature. SOOO talented

[@RightReverendMatt]

Andy Summer, one of the New Wave’s most underrated yet influential guitarists, taught Sting how to harmonize and configure the musical space. Andy is a jazz player and 10 years older than Stewart or Sting. Sting is obviously the main composer and a genius at that, not to mention extraordinary lyricist, vocalist, and bass player. But a fully formed pre-Police Sting is urban legend. Andy Summer guided and arranged Sting’s genius into the brilliant catalogue that is The Police. Stewart Copeland, like Ringo Starr, played most of those songs in one or two takes. There is no way Sting ever played drums remotely as creatively or originally as Copeland. Copeland is considered to be one of the five greatest rock drummers of all time. Though Sting went on to have several hits after pursuing his own thing, barely any of his solo work even remotely compares to his work with The Police. Not the energy, the spark, the originality, nor the effect. That’s because The Police are one of the greatest rock bands in history. Great as he is, Paul McCartney made the same mistake. It’s never the individual. It’s the band. The group. What that group of exceptional musicians who were The Police created in the late seventies and early eighties, and the reach and influence they achieved, will never be repeated. Even when they can hardly be in the same room together anymore, when a group of musicians commit to their music and ignite the spark, it’s magical and the result of their work is always greater than the sum of the bands parts.

5 albums from The Police (75 million in sales)...The bassist, Sting, is on of the best song writers. All three members are amazing. Rick Beato interviewed them one at a time. GREAT in depth info to The Police.

[@Mogogirl1967]

Amazing 3 piece band. Stewart Copeland is the drummer and he is one of the best ever. He's does a lot of composing now. Sting playing bass and singing...that ain't easy. And Andy Summers, great guitarist. All so accomplished. You really should listen to more of their stuff - they were highly influenced by Reggae and you can hear it in a lot of their early songs. Their biggest hit is Every Breath You Take but I would definitely not start there. Don't Stand So Close to Me, Walking on the Moon, Roxanne are just the 1st three I'd suggest for you. Then moving onto to some of their "later" stuff like Synchronicity. IT's a great band to discover and I'm a little jealous that you get to hear all for the first time :) Have fun!

[@Erol_808]

You should check out some Two Tone (UK Ska, fusion of post-punk british music and Jamaican Ska) from the late 70s, a band to checkout is 'The Specials' and song suggestions 'Gangsters', 'A Message to You, Rudy', 'Too Much to Young' and 'Ghost Town'. You can hear the The Special influences in some of Ren's music. The Police and The Clash where around the same time when they started :)

[@gogglebox2427]

Absolutely. The Specials. RIP Terry.

[@RichardFedczuk]

The beat too.

[@timothyhester9313]

100% I love the Specials! I was born during their heyday, so I didn't 'discover' them until much later in life, but once I caught on, they became one of my all-time favorite groups. I was also fortunate enough to see their reunion tours after I'd already become a huge fan. They didn't disappoint live either. There are so many great tracks to choose from! Ghost Town, Do Nothing, It's Later Than You Think, Blank Expression, A Message To You Rudy, Too Much Too Young, Doesn't Make It Alright, You're Wondering Now... They are not only ska gods but just great musicians regardless. I highly recommend them.

Stewart Copeland ( the drummer who is american ) founded and named the band , probably inspired by his brother Miles III ( who became their manager ) and his father Miles who was a CIA agent."message in a bottle" was their first hit in Europe , back in 1980 and was from their 2nd LP "Reggata de Blanc" released in 1979 ; hits like "Roxanne" , "can't stand losing you" or "so lonely" hit the charts afterward although they were re-issued from their first LP "Outlandos d'Amour" in 1978

Saw Sting back in college when he was touring for his first solo album. One of the best live shows I’ve ever seen. Non stop energy for 2 hours straight. And Mister Mister opened the show.

[@bradbailey1893]

They blew up as a pop, radio, MTV band. Such interesting influences: jazz (Sting’s roots), Ska (Copeland’s beat), guitar riffs (Summers’ many adds). They reached across to alternative, rock crowds, too. And, as a three piece, had a huge sound for arenas.

All 3 artists in The Police, Andy, Stewart and Sting are master class musicians in their own right, combined in this jammin band was extraordinary. They were HUGE in my late teens high-school and college. I even saw Sting's Dream of the Blue Turtles Tour. Awesomeness

[@rhphotocdn]

Sting, Stewart, Andy, The Police, there will never be another band like them!!! So talented, all three of them! ROAXNE was their 1st Biggest Hit! Funny it was released and didn’t do much, a year/two later it was reintroduced and it went to the top of the charts.

This music brings back such great memories. In the mid 80's I met a boy from another town while our families were on summer vacation. All year we mailed a cassette tape back and forth thru the snail mail and each one of us would add recordings to it. It was loaded with songs from the Police.

[@toddylu6869]

Was able to see them live on the Synchronicity Tour around 1985. Love their music. I had a cool 10th grade English teacher, Mr. Appleton. He let us study the lyrics to many of their Synchronicity album songs in class. Epic!!

Fyi, the drummer is Stewart Copeland. He's also an amazing composer for movie soundtracks, including "Wall Street" and "Rumble Fish"

I bought a bunch of 80s soundtracks this week, and he’s got a song on the Texas Chainsaw Massacre 2 soundtrack. It’s also featured on the blu-ray menu somewhere on the new 4K release.

I am lucky in that I grew up in different parts of the country with many different friends with different tastes in music. I grew up in Texas and was exposed to country, grew up in Washington at the height of grunge, grew up in a Christian household that (at the house) was only exposed to either Christian music or Oldies (50s-70s), grew up in the 80s listening to timeless songs from that decade. All music should be experienced and celebrated. Keep up the wonderful work.

[@MarkoMakela-kk7qf]

Fun facv is also that as Sting is English, Steward Copeland this one of the best drummers ever AND ALSO PLAYING DRUMS IN THIS 'TRADITIONAL WAY', IS FROM USA AND HE WAS THE ONE WHO WANTED TO FIND OTHER MEMBERS AND FOUND STING as Steward wanted to form a different kind of rock band. And their first hit 'Roxanne' surely was something new and as the main melody may sound quite simple, that song evolves to the last second.

[@fakkel321]

Im from 83 so i was young but my dad played The police's songs and it one of the bands that have stuck with me and bring back so many memorry's.

[@survivalrush]

“Roxanne” was their first big song (It wasn't their first single, but it was the song that got them really well known), and in the same year (1978) they released "Can't stand losing you", which was another really popular, big song by them. It's hard to actually say what their biggest song was, they had so many massive ones, but those 2 will def be on anyone's list of big Police tunes. Personally I really love "Walking on the Moon"

[@Wilss]

This is from their 2nd album. Their first hit was probably 'Roxanne', but they have a string of hits. You'll probably recognise 'Every Breath You Take' from it being sampled by Puff Daddy. A lot of different sounds in their songs ranging from punk to rock, and love to incorporate reggae in there too throughout their existence.

Stewart Copeland is one of the most skilled drummers of all time. 🙌

There was a The Police album (possibly a greatest hits album) in the collection of CDs my dad would pack in the car whenever we went on summer holiday to the south of france. So this song just transports me back to the summers of my youth and its incredibly comforting and nostalgic. Even as an adult now, I love The Police.
