jazzhound Posted December 11, 2003 Report Posted December 11, 2003 I caught Sting on the billboard award show last night. The drummer was great. Who is he??? Quote
couw Posted December 11, 2003 Report Posted December 11, 2003 kinda young, kinda wild anyone out there can answer jazzhound's question while I keep RT contained? Quote
Joe G Posted December 11, 2003 Report Posted December 11, 2003 I went over to Sting.com (for the first time) to try to find the drummer's name. No good. It's all about Sting, and nothing about the band. Quote
Rooster_Ties Posted December 11, 2003 Report Posted December 11, 2003 It's all about Sting, and nothing about the band. Hasn't that pretty much been the problem for at least the past 10 years??? Quote
jazzbo Posted December 11, 2003 Report Posted December 11, 2003 Or even before, I remember twenty years ago seeing him on film shouting at a music video director and cameraman to "Keep the camera ON THE MONEY"! I saw the performance. My big impression was typical Sting lyrics and a big bass synth emphasis. . . . Didn't even NOTICE the drummer. Quote
SGUD missile Posted December 11, 2003 Report Posted December 11, 2003 Ddidn't see the show, but the last one I recall for the past several years was LA studio guy Vinnie Coliauta .. before that , it was Omar Hakim for a while .. and it doesn't matter if you get to hear their name ..thay ALL get paid quite well , fly and live first class, etc ..

Joe G Posted December 11, 2003 Report Posted December 11, 2003 According to Google: Drummer Keith Carlock, just off tour with Steely Dan, will be joining Sting on his upcoming tour... [i believe I read somewhere that Keith was the first drummer to play on every track of a Dan album (Everything Must Go), but don't quote me on that...] Keith has a new mailing list and which folks can sign up for and get the latest tour dates, stories from the road, info for drummers, Q/A, etc. It's a low-volume list, only updated when there's something cool to report... He'll be opening a website later this year too, with lots of audio, video & images. [if you sign up for the list, you'll get a note when the site opens.] Quote
AmirBagachelles Posted December 11, 2003 Report Posted December 11, 2003 Stewart Copeland, where is he now? Does he have a working band? I have two vinyl LPs of his that I recall playing a lot in the mid-80s. Quote
Jazzdog Posted December 11, 2003 Report Posted December 11, 2003 Stewart Copeland, where is he now? Does he have a working band? I have two vinyl LPs of his that I recall playing a lot in the mid-80s. He's the drummer with the 21st Century Doors! Quote
jazzypaul Posted December 12, 2003 Report Posted December 12, 2003 Stewart was playing with Trey Anastasio from Phish and Les Claypool from Primus in a shortlived band called Oysterhead. They were fun in small doses, but it was a classic three bigger than life egos style collaboration... Quote
jazzhound Posted December 12, 2003 Author Report Posted December 12, 2003 Sting on Leno tonite. Check out the drummer. Quote
7/4 Posted December 12, 2003 Report Posted December 12, 2003 Stewart Copeland, where is he now? Does he have a working band? I have two vinyl LPs of his that I recall playing a lot in the mid-80s. He's the drummer with the 21st Century Doors! Was. I don't think it worked out. Quote
Jazzdog Posted December 12, 2003 Report Posted December 12, 2003 Stewart was playing with Trey Anastasio from Phish and Les Claypool from Primus in a shortlived band called Oysterhead. They were fun in small doses, but it was a classic three bigger than life egos style collaboration... I think it was only destined to be a one off. Anastasio was on hiatus from Phish at the time and Les was in the throes of his Flying Frog Brigade days. Now that Les is back doing Primus full time, and Trey is back doing Phish part time and maintaining a solo career doesn't leave much hope for further collaborations. I saw Oysterhead in LA a few years back and it was such a treat standing as far away from Les and Trey (two of my idols!) as they were standing from each other and having Stewart just a few more yards back. Glad to see Stewart not doing the Doors thing though, probably a pretty nice earner for him all the same. Quote

David Williams Posted February 9, 2004 Report Posted February 9, 2004 I've seen Keith Carlock over here three times with Wayne Krantz; fantastic: funky, powerful, and a very tight partnership with Tim Lefebvre. Quote
