[dhosze12]

genius and creative thats how i define this band.

[cugamer]

For this masterpiece, for a hundred other masterpieces, for the activism, for the dreams, for the innovation, for thirty one years of genius, for all of that we are indebted to R.E.M.

Thanks for everything guys.

[guitarfan89]

[suseJelbatalfnI]

I'm glad YouTube is smart enough to redirect "elephant up the stairs" - I can never remember the name of this song.

[TheScoopDogy]

Duh, Winning!



[nivineakadeath]

@TheScoopDogy loooooooooooool

[avamp69]

I love the people in the crowd!

[alley2807]

I think REM is a great group I just love their songs and they are very personable. They did not let the fame og to their heads.

[MelvinCD7]

Wow.. that is a beautiful song... i love it!

[DH12C]

[tragicallysean]

Whats that Orange line for, I thought he had a uni at first

[scottshu975]

still miss you, Andy.

[TheFunctionsMusic]

great song oerosnally one of my faves but ermm what is with teh orange mono?

[StinkiwinkiPoo]

dontknow but i like more the album version. and i like it to hear that song formy own

[kurtcourtney67]

best REM song ever in my opinion.

[Xamplexp]

I'd say REM is an alternative band. During most of the 80's they were known only for some people. They have a couple of hits (Losing my Religion, Everybody Hurts and some others) but they aren't play in the radio as some other artists (pop artists). So still today they are an alternative band :)

[StinkiwinkiPoo]

@Xamplexp thats becaus erem is not a commercial band like much others.and  they are no fake, they mean what they sing

[CutterScene]

Hats of ! Their lyrics manage to convey genuine emotions and trains of thought, just about everyday joys and sorrows, the way we ought to reflect about our human condition, respectfullbess, and society's flaws, levitate above dicisive mental borders and make it through. Although not a grand alternative rock band like them, try "Lifehouse" too.

[StinkiwinkiPoo]

@CutterScene okay. i only know i hear them since im a young kid^^ and the crazy thing is that i hear the new songs before i ever heard the old songs.....

Dont know about "lifehpouse" but i will search something from them here on YOUTUBE ty. greats from germany

[zoomustard]

Great music is great music and it can break down any barrier the music industry wants to erect. REM did it. So did The Cars, although they became a pop music machine. For purity, REM is hard to top after 30 years. I hope the same holds true for Son Volt.

[totaly2cooltiff]

I was going to say that this is Eoin's Fave song but someone beat me here. =( Bummer. Not a bad song though. (Not like artemis's fave :P) I Still Have'nt Found What I'm Looking For isn't bad either. =D

[slapshawt]

Instead of putting R.E.M. in the genre 'pop rock' put them into the genre 'amazing!'

Cause it doesn't matter what genre they are they'll always be that.

[dp100]

really? i always considered them alternative haha

[sammyleal]

Otima musica!!

[pantalaemon]

damn, i usually hate pop, and even though this is a pretty rocky pop band, if you can follow me :P, this is against my usual taste.

but i did grow up with this. love it.

[bonertron34]

I dunno I kind of respect pop from the 70's and 80's. Anyways, how is this pop? REM never gets radio time anymore, and most people don't know anything about them other than Losing My Religion and maybe one other song. I'd classify this as music.

[ricflairfan5]

it was in wiesabaden germany in 2003

[killratoss]

that looked like a kick ass concert i wonder where it was

[guitom222]

AWESOME!!

[MeAndMyLittleVoices]

This is Artemis Fowl's author Eoin Colfer's favorite song! O_O

[CaptainPrice14]

i thank grandma for getting me into this band

[kkwillsaveus]

[dbarberad]

I´ve heard many of their songs, I´m a fan of REM, and this song is my favourite, It´s only my opinion.

[gruhaf]

@dbarberad not only yours

[8scatterbrain8]

@dbarberad I don't really love REM, but this song...

[britestube]

@dbarberad yeah you are right, but then when it comes to REM songs how can anyone be wrong?

[EireneOtrera]

What's with the drawn on unibrow?

[Molocoplus7]

i love rem

[stevets01]

Michael needs to stop writing in lyrics about sleeves into the songs...

[Theratkidisarat]

You can never get bored of classic REM like this.

[saismful]

i am a rem fan because of the songs they made if you are a good listener of music you will like their songs for all times to come

[Hateyerface]

I always thought he was saying, I'm looking for answers from the grave.

[landrover150]

Me too! I thought it was that for years until recently I looked up the lyrics!

[vegetablemagnetism]

No I'm not imagining it. Peter Buck is starting to look like Stephen Fry.

[ryumitch1]

at 2:55 it looks like he knock the cymbal with his head, i loled :P

[stevets01]

Peter is awesome lol

[dbarberad]

Simply the best song of REM

[GlueyPorch]

You mustn't have heard many of their songs if you think this is the best

[Passarella01]

Simply.............Magnific.

[bentenx]

What a great band.

[vvmiss]

fantastici...

[mot726]

[PapiBrave]

[magpiefabric]

I'm looking for answers fromthe great beyond.

[SheBPadfoot]

I liked the music video a whole lot better.

DARN YOU WMG!!!!!!!!!!!!

[danbit5]

hows the guy with a smily face in the audience i wanna shake his hand lol

[jjmcduff]

2 words - kick ass!!!

[keitaro2582]

I see what you mean. What happen with the actual videos? They were there a few months ago.

[cboy704]

Warner Music Group happened, they pulled all of their music videos and any amature videos stating "we don't need free advertising." Basically they are mad that they aren't getting their $0.34 per song per time it's being listened too (royalties).

They don't have the rights to Live songs though so those can still be played (live performances belong to the band & or the venue, i.e. if they performed on Letterman or the Tonight Show).

It sucks but they don't care..."what customer service?"

[thhhegame33]

where are the actual videos? dont get me wrong this rocks, but....

[littlemorella]

ONE OF MY FAVS! GREAT LYRICS!

[danumber32]

gotta love this song :D

[Dotario147]

Love the shirt, Peter.

[simusfr]

I find this live version way better than the studio recording ...

[KR4Prez]

yeah i agree the one on REM live is great too

[robobject]

WAKE UP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[minchmad]

great song

[Crabpeopleseb]

Great song, just not sure about his dancing...

[minchmad]

Yes his dancing is questionable.

[KR4Prez]

lmao one of my favorite things about ol' stipey has always been his dancing. yeah by normal standards its not good dancing but its quirky, honest and entertaining to watch....and a little gay

[lvetk]

Got to agree with u KR4Prez, I really LOVE his moves, it seems all so natural. Their music always makes me dance like a moron but sure it feels right because you just throw out all your energy!

[fccffccf]

Look in his eyes at 3:16. I just love this guy =)

[danivitoriabeto]

Maravilhoso....amo r.e.m
