Peter Buck & Michael Stipe (R.E.M.) 1983 Interview

[LeeB9999]

Look how skinny Buck is. He is bloated now.

[bernlin2000]

Lol...don't become too professional: you can see they had a very healthy attitude at that age, although Mike was INCREDIBLY introverted at that stage in their career. He's barely holding himself up, looks like he needs a nap :-P

Cool video, I remember when Michael Stipe had hair. Back in the early days the hair was long, curly, and always down over one eye. Good times.

What did Pete do to his hand? They definitely look unshowered and hungover. Michael and Peter used to go out in dresses and make-up pre REM I would have killed to see that! You can see Pete is wearing eyeliner here.

Well done Dianne! Cool! Michael Stipe looks like he noteven old enough to buy cigaretttes (and I mean back then when the age to buy was maybe 16).

[idanl5]

they remind me of kurt and krist here..

Peter is everything I would look for in a guitar player. Terrific player, excellent songwriter, and doesn't feel the need to ruin songs with drawn out extemporaneous solo's that not only add nothing to the song, but take away from it's emotional, artistic, or intellectual content. Also, he does an awesome jump-kick!

Mpls!!

[frostipagan]

Peter is the man.

And listen to Michael say "Nebrayska!" LOL.

[frostipagan]

Peter is the man.

[rasavilasini]

Michael with the 80's socks over his jeans! awesome!

[fred6059]

Yes I read a lot about the guys. My name should be 'BillBerryFanatic'.

@fred6059 You're right, Peter does have some eyeliner on :~)

[fred6059]

Peter Eugene Lawrence Buck.  Bet most people don' t know he has 2 middle names.

[PeterBuckRocks]

@fred6059 Cool, I wasn't aware of that! :~)

[fred6059]

Peter is wearing eye liner

[PeterBuckRocks]

@fred6059 Yes, we've been fortunate that REM has stayed together all these years :~)

[codern]

@fred6059 i think they are also feeling gravity's pull

[fred6059]

I'm so young I'm so gd young.....

[PeterBuckRocks]

@fred6059

Michael would have been 23 in this interview :~)

[fred6059]

When I was young and full of grace

[CrazyCat9898]

[PeterBuckRocks]
