The Police - Walking On The Moon (Live)

[@Matt-nm8pj]

can we all acknowledge, the greatness... of Mr. Stewart Copeland, on drums.

[@christocr]

Crazy good. The guy never plays the same thing twice yet manages to keep the beat rock solid. It's amazing, really.

[@markglover8299]

Yessir!!!

[@tamirshahin]

Stewart Copeland , every single beat is different , he added his own personal touch to every beat , yet he keeps the tempo , very original , he has an uncanny talent and genuine feel to the beat , all long being supersonic fast

[@gnagh]

Sounds like 2 drummers. It's not by accident that my 2 favorite bands of this era had great drummers. Clem Burke of Blondie and Stewart Copeland of the Police. They both give the drums quite a workout. It's the lead singer, Sting and Debra Harry, that grab all the headlines. But, it's the beat that makes it all possible! Notice, Debbie Harry may have dispensed w her lead guitarist, bassist and keyboard player (from the original late 70s/80s lineup), but she held onto Clem Burke.

The Glue of the Police. Even Sting knew during and after Podvani or whatever the Strontium 93 guitarist with Sting n Copeland name wise. Andy brings Soundscapes and Moods along with underrated Solo’s just the right length, when needed. Almost the same happened to Genesis like The Police with getting Hackett( with Collins joining around the same time ) with the same incredible results sound wise. Both on Guitar were the perfect needed ingredient at the time. Of course The Bands Histories were different, but Summers was that important. Love Andy and The Police 4-ever.

[@RSTI191]

He was too busy that drove Sting nuts

[@deanbritton4696]

Truly great bands demand tension. Sting knew Copeland was special. But Copeland ABSOLUTELY knew Sting was special. Sting was an incredible lyricist, had an iconoclastic melodic style, and an odd reedy almost conversational vocal style. He’d been a folk singer prior to Copeland recruiting him into the Police. Pairing that up with the disciplined and driving, almost hypnotic musicality of Copeland’s drumming changed rock music.

What people fail to grasp is that these guys were trained musicians with serious chops in a simple New Wave/Punk youthful amatures genre. It was really unfair cause these three experienced guys could blow other musicians away. The whole band was started by Copeland who is truly a genius.

[@richardanderson5424]

They did that and were at each other’s throats like in the old days. It would’ve been great if they’d done some new stuff but I very much doubt it will ever happen. The Madison Square Gardens was billed as their final performance. Sting said in the 90s you should never say never but I think that’s it now unless they do a few shows like they did for amnesty in the late 80s but I don’t think they will reform.

[@mariomessina1147]

At least they did get along better on the reunion tour , their musical chemistry was superb . I wished they would have done another album and one more tour . U live once and u don’t find musical relationships easily . One of the coolest things about the reunion was how they shook up arrangements and Andy was able to do many guitar solos . Originally on the recording he had his solos cut by sting . They were never excessive on the reunion tour but fit the arrangement

[@Auntkekebaby]

If you really listen, it's not just reggae, It never was. They have MAD influences. This is very jazzy and funky. It's spacious...just sick sick. Love them forever. The audience is dead. I would have been BOUNCING!

[@Axess-sv8nq]

@@twilightolga8958 - Well, I don't know about your luck. But, I'm definitely NOT a fan of new music coming out. Whenever I go to the doctor's office, they always have the radio station on in the waiting room that plays Top 40. It's actually annoying to listen to - all the auto-tuned singing and nonsense in the songs. Most of them don't even write their own songs! It's all very corporate.

[@twilightolga8958]

Axess2084 i know wht you mean. Whenever i am in a shop the radio will always be turned on and i’d hear the new songs. Man, i am not sure if i can even call them “songs” it’s like one stupid song repeated over and over again. Today’s songs are just so similar. There is no creativity. Plus most of the artists don’t even play real instruments they just use some soundtracks and sing someone’s else lyrics. Becausr most of them as you also said don’t even write their own songs. It’s sooo annoying. I really hope someday the rock era will return and there will be new cool bands and new rock styles. Now we still have metallica,green day,whitesnake,bon jovi,europe and so on and they still perform. But most of the bands and artists are gone. And when these old bands will also be gone for good the next generations probably won’t never heard of them. Most of the children my own age haven’t heard of them and they’re still performing. I’m kinda terrified what the music will become in the next years. After all music is becoming even worse from year to year. And my poor kids won’t ever go to a real concert. :(( it just sucks

[@TheLunarnotes]

I’ve pretty much ignored the police since I was about 5, 40 years ago! they were the first band I listened to on a Walkman and I remember laying in bed listening to them in awe. I’d always enjoy hearing them now and again on the radio, this is the first time since that I’ve actively sought out their stuff and started listening again. I remember when first hearing Nirvana years later, there was something about Cobain’s song writing, the way he looked, the chorus effects on the guitar, the Melodies, the bridges and repetition of lyrics instantly reminded me of The Police and still does, they were never mentioned as an influence but I think Sting is in there somewhere.

[@toomuchinformation]

Your experience of the Police is similar to mine, although I was a teenager when they first emerged. I forgot about them too; the 2007 reunion tour didn't register with me. But recently I've gone on a deep dive of their work and surprised myself with what I remembered from their first three albums. The big surprise is how good they were live with their extensive jams.

[@raulordonezgarcia]

[@ekkamailax]

If you listen on headphones you will hear that they added in a lot of post-production to stewart's drums. The kick drum is layered with a drum machine kick and subbass and so are some of the tom fills.

[@lonedrone]

I don't think so. The kick is very high in the mix though and of course he plays with a delay repeat on the snare, hihat and toms - a feature that is integral to this song, allowing him to play crazy triplets etc.

The Police were revolutionizing the world music scene at that time. So, in their transition era to their very peak of their success, we still can see how many people were in awe, don't really understand yet about the new music they heard, (although they liked it), which were very different compared to the kind of music they usually hear at around that time before The Police.
