R.E.M.’s Michael Stipe On MONSTER, Secrets To Music Success Without Corporate Compromises | MSNBC
I’ve never been this early to a video
Me neither, but I was looking for this one
What a great band they were the sound of my youth! Still listen to them often and miss them.
Lol Kanye West has a new rap gospel album coming out I’m so sorry… lol too funny
Thank you, R.E.M…thanks, Ari..that’s a keeper.
Monster is an under rated Gem and was a return to the brilliance of their early offerings.
REM’s the type of band you were so proud to “own” before they broke big, but continued to admire despite an occasional “Shiny happy people” clunker.
As a song by itself “shiny happy people” is nice and fun. just because it isn’t a “typical” REM song does not make it bad.
Here’s a truck stop instead of Saint Peter’s yeah yeah yeah yeah
Man on the moon.
I love this Ari! That you had freaking Michael Stipe and Mike Mills on your show! You transcend what it means to be a news reporter. To “quote Lonely Island… “Never stop Never stopping” Ari!!!
people might get old, but rock n roll never rusts
you keep your ouwn council and echew all of the standard “industry” polls, surveys etc…. stay in the garage.
can’t get there from here
Lovely!
Wow this is incredible. An actually meaningful conversation in a news format. This could be the wave of the future.
Still upset with myself that I missed their 1984 concert at my school. I was uptight and a too-serious student way back then. Love these guys.
REM has always been and always be one of my all time favorite bands.
I Love The One Song You Sing ,, The One I Love,,,,
TYT has new “members only” scam.
REM , was a great band . supernatural superserious , my fav by the band . Unfortunately was their last .
ART is not only that 🙂 😉
Thank you for sharing Ari and M & M of R.E.M
