Thanks, man. I've been doing these interviews for 2.5 years now, and it's been a humbling and steep learning curve. First I transcribed them, which meant more work, but less need to be "in tune" with the interviewees - I could just fill in the blanks in the transcript when the conversation wasn't developing so well. When I started publishing the audio, I felt the need to have more "organic" interactions with the artists. That meant MORE research to know their work, and a bump in my English skills too. In my view, it has to sound like an informative conversation between two friends, if that makes any sense. I listen to the first interview I did and compare with this one with Stewart, and it's like water and wine. Most of the interviews I do are offered to our website by PR agencies, but I do pursue a few of them on my own - Simon Phillips, Hugh Syme, Tony Franklin and this one with Stewart were like that. When I do an interview that I pursued, I go the extra mile for it to come out better, and I think it shows, especially on this latest one. My next mission is to get one with Mr. Big's Eric Martin, purely because my daughter loves their songs so much and she wants me to tell him that. Let's see if we can get him on the phone! By the way, I sent the interview to Stewart's assistant, and in her own words, "Mr. Copeland is happy with the final result". He posted it on his official website:

Sign at protest "Reopen Pennslvania Give Me Liberty or Give me Death #We the peaple! :laughing guy: Next up the Clorox cocktails

I was at the dog park and there was a lady with two dogs. One was humping the other, so I shouted "Social distancing!"

Adrenalize was just trying to be Hysteria 2, but without Mutt Lange and didn't work at all for me....and I gave the album to a charity shop a few years back.

You forgot SABBATH! Shoot, you are right! I don't like Pink Floyd that much but I love Sabbath! I’m going to pretend I didn’t hear you say that about Pink Floyd because you are you. But I am noting it in my TRF log :P It will be on my permanent record! :P :P http://youtu.be/Y0cF2piwjYQ

Glad to hear that about Copeland. It did sound like he was enjoying himself. He spoke a lot and seemed pretty relaxed. To be honest, I had never heard more than a 5-10 minute interview with him before. And those interviews were always pretty serious and focused on the project he was working on at the time. This one had a little bit of everything. And that had to do with your research and your approach. :cheers:

As I've mentioned before, Jack Bruce and Ginger Baker always bickered, just like Sting and Stewart Copeland. The bass and drums are thundering, which probably causes thundering personalities for some. Eric Clapton and Andy Summers were always stuck in the middle. Whereas Geddy, Alex, and Neil got along.

While I agree with the sentiment, not all Karens are batshit crazy

Thank you, I needed this today! :heart: Plus husband came running from the other room- "Did I ever tell you about when I saw them in the 70'S?" Love the BOC! I saw them on 'The Black and Blue Tour' in '80 with Black Sabbath. Both Excellent bands, excellent music. I have "(Don't Fear) The Reaper" as my ''get UP'' alarm on my phone. Where was that show? I saw that show in Detroit at the Joe Louis Arena on 05 October 1980. I was there also! Still got my ticket stub!

I was oblivious to this initially. I found this article here, with mention that Kiefer Sutherland will be a part of the event. Sutherland was present at the Tribeca Film Festival for the premiere of Rush: Beyond The Lighted Stage. This archived article on Kiefer Sutherland from the Dec 2003 issue of American Way magazine here gives mention of his love for the band. On a side note, there was a special on CBC titled Heart of Gold: 30 Years of Canadian Pop Music which aired on Dec 12, 13, 14 in 1982. Donald Sutherland was narrator of the special, and Geddy Lee makes an appearance from the clip posted below. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NZkCajA_ghc

Alex still remembers the public performance concert that RUSH did when they were starting out, as noted here. Also check out this clip below, beginning at the 8:30 mark, in reference to the above. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=td9I54Lxyf4

ill check out Forevermore. Forevermore is a great album.

Karen is a creep who needs to stop chasing waterfalls.

I saw BOC open for Rush back in the day in the meantime, anyone care for a Lysol bong hit?

Open Secrets. Pretty much on repeat for days now.

On behalf of the administrators of The Rush Forum, I hereby present the 376th Solar Federalist badge to RushFanForever... RushFanForever, you have assumed control.... ...of The Rush Forum's Solar Federalist badge no. 376...Congratulations! Also, your badge has been added to the Hallowed Hall, and below is a mini-badge that you can add to your sig, if you wish. Congrats! :rush: :rush:

I'm not a drummer, but someone said that on this song Ginger plays every "phrase" different with no repeats. Is that true? They were a really good band . Too bad they were short-lived. Eric said that Ginger and Jack despised each other and made it impossible to continue. If I remember correctly, he also said they made a later attempt to reunite, but the same thing happened - Ginger and Jack at it all the time.

Which "Heavy Metal" tune do you prefer? The Red Rocker's? http://youtu.be/RWm7T-GgJnE ...OR... The Eagles' guitarist's? http://youtu.be/mewu2IxAlLw

Just recently, I discovered Spectacle: Elvis Costello with..., which was for two seasons. It appears that these past episodes are being uploaded on the Spectacle Elvis Costello YouTube Channel. The Police were on Season 1 in 2008, and it was a good watch. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8NaEWqDlqCY

Good! Now we're getting somewhere. Now, here's the start of the movie. I see snow! White snow! IbanezJem, you chose Paignton as the location. Isn't it a bit of a drawback that there's no snow here? This was a major setback. How could we possibly cross the river? Several hours of thought produced nothing. There was only one flask of coffee left when suddenly Mr Citizen spotted something. The sacred volcano Andu, which no man has seen before! :o From these glens and scars, the sound of the coot and the moorhen is seldom absent. Nature sits in stern mastery over these rocks and crags. The rush of the mountain stream, the bleat of the sheep, and the broad, clear Highland skies, reflected in tarn and loch... Here, in conditions of extreme secrecy, men are being trained for the British Army's first Kamikaze Regiment, the Queen's Own McKamikaze Highlanders. Your death will stand as a landmark in the continuing struggle to liberate Video Vertigo from the hands of the Sense O`Clock News Imperialist aggressors. Gentlemen, it's now quite apparent that the enemy are not only fighting this war on the cheap, but they're also not taking it seriously. Well, of course, warfare isn't all fun. It's all very well to laugh at the Military. The men of the Derbyshire Light Infantry entertain us with a precision display of bad temper. :codger: :codger: :codger: The battle raged long and hard, but as night fell Blackhawkrush overcame the Redwings. 6,000 copies of 'Tits and Bums' and 4,000 copies of 'Shower Sheila' were seized that day. The tide of Detroit porn was stemmed.

You forgot SABBATH! Shoot, you are right! I don't like Pink Floyd that much but I love Sabbath!

You'd have liked Ginger, he hates heavy metal! You should've gone to see him when you had a chance and see what you could've done to change his mind. :D-13:

You'd have liked Ginger, he hates heavy metal!

Both 'Let It Grow' by Eric Clapton and 'Sway' by The Rolling Stones; beginning on the outro have this crescendo build up of strings, which ends both songs on the fade out. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YpDlmop0uYU http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KIlVba5jtQE

Yeah I originally was going to post that one but thought to go for the studio version

Leon Russell or John Simon. I read on another forum that it was Leon Russell, but I can't find another reliable source that confirms it.

Actually I've changed my mind, I remember this one from Sammy. The early 80's was a good time for Hagar before he joined VH.

Stew and Neil should’ve been pals ages ago. 2 nerds.

That was an awesome interview, Rod! It was touching to hear Stewart talk about Neil without feeling the need to mention his passing. Friendship and music can never die, keep on rocking! :haz:

"I am now prog and proud!" :rfl: Someone put that on a t-shirt, I would wear that everywhere!

Just 13 minutes in and I'm loving this interview Rod! You're great, Stewart's great, the topics are great, it's all great! I'm learning so much and laughing straight through it!

I saw that, too!

my wife keeps yelling that at me too. it's really distracting. lol

I’d rather trust Dr Rosenpenis. %20https%3A//i.imgur.com/8gOX8mT.gif :laughing guy: Ever seen a spleen that large? No, not since breakfast. Trump is to Chandler Bing what Nickelback are to Pearl Jam. Leave sarcasm to the pros.

Knocks you off your feet

just f***ing vote. It's not THAT big of a deal :) Can't do it, sorry. :) Why? Because I don't know which one I like the best. Voting without knowing would be misrepresenting my opinion. Actually I doubt anyone here really cares about each others opinions enough to care! :) I care about my opinion enough to care that I don't misrepresent it. You're not testifying in a murder case! Entre, I hope you’re not like this when it comes to meals. You may starve to death one day!!! “Hmm...I’m not sure. Could go tacos. Could go burgers. Pizza too. Fish or chicken is always good. And then there’s curry. Oh man, I can’t decide.” :P

GnR - Appetite It's all about time and place for me.

If you choose not to decide, you still have made a choice...

Sad to see A Night At The Opera isn't winning 75, but Sheer Heart Attack is a decent consolation.
