Principled Man Posted May 16, 2020 Share Posted May 16, 2020 I should be speaking in past tense. Stewart, you go right ahead and keep it in the present tense! Neil is eternal; he has no beginning and no end. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
driventotheedge Posted May 16, 2020 Share Posted May 16, 2020 Found his description of Neil's failing health towards the end sad but of course not surprising either. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lurkst Posted May 16, 2020 Author Share Posted May 16, 2020 Found his description of Neil's failing health towards the end sad but of course not surprising either. Yes a difficult read, but good to know that in spite of his illness he maintained his philosophy of filling each day to the max. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RUSHHEAD666 Posted May 16, 2020 Share Posted May 16, 2020 Copeland gives a good interview. My third favorite drummer on the Earth. I dragged my wife and little girls to the "Everybody Stares" movie with a Stewart Copeland Q & A after the flick. Amazing dude. Klerk Kant is a rare gem on Japanese cd.

My only concern would be his humility because it dampens his artillery. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rhyta Posted May 17, 2020 Share Posted May 17, 2020 Wonderful interview, he was funny and his remembrances of Neil were poignant and spot on. I loved the line "Neil, he gets behind the drums and commands the chariot for the duration." Yes The Police were one of my favorites and I thought it was cool that Stewart and Neil became friends. Still hard to believe Neil is gone :sigh: 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My only concern would be his humility because it dampens his artillery. Wait!!! 78!!! What???? Please explain!!!!! My only professional recording is a four track cd ep I did with my 23 nephew at the time.I brought in my recording and touring drum kit to record.I was excited to use my Stewart Copeland snare on the recording. It sounds like a f***ing gun shot on the record. I loved the sound!!! Don't tell me he dampens his snare sound. Then I'm fooled.I key tuned that snare to the highest level possible. It popped like a wild cherry on a hot summer night!!!! Dude, I grip it and rip it like Neil, but I would never wear gloves like Stewart. Ugh!!!I just love Stewart's use of high hat to splashes and crashes. I'm an octoban nut as well.I actually have a Stewart Copeland blue bell ride on my main kit at the house. I LOVE IT!!! Oh well. Dampen? WTF????? I am a drummer of 38 years. I've never understood the word "dampen" and how it applies to drumming. The louder the better in my book.

RUSHHEAD666 Posted May 22, 2020 Share Posted May 22, 2020 If John didn't play the drums on "In Through The Outdoor" that album would be better used for toilet paper in an outhouse! LOL!!!! John saves that pop record of poop!!!! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Arguably the two most influential drummers of the 20th century You could argue that but you’d have to insert ‘of their type’ to be anywhere close to winning that argument.

Rod in Toronto Posted May 23, 2020 Share Posted May 23, 2020 If John didn't play the drums on "In Through The Outdoor" that album would be better used for toilet paper in an outhouse! LOL!!!! John saves that pop record of poop!!!! Let's agree to disagree here...I love In Through the Out Door, man!!! The only possible weak link on the album for me is Hot Dog. Other than that, it's great. I still think one of those modern prog metal bands like Haken, Sons of Apollo or even Dream Theater could do an amazing cover of Carouselambra. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There are a few solid tunes on the record. Great record sleeve packaging. Very cool. But mostly that album is a commercial conundrum. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
