i rember being 15 years old at slane castle in ireland when rem played there in 1995,they opened with whats the frequency and followed with this.......blew every one away!!!
This is fantastic. Do you have also a video of Wichita Lineman from this concert, pressuming they have played it? I love the live version on the Bittersweet Me single.
Michael Stipe was at the same Fugazi show as me in 1991, haha - I heard thru the crowd he wasn't very nice.. but I guess he was just wantin to enjoy the show. Tough shit famous boy. Even tho I was never a fan.. can't deny this one.
When I saw them (way back when), many in the audience were wearing a black vest, just like the one that Peter Buck is wearing in this vid. I wonder if people still do the same.
Michael Stipe's voice sounding different will be deliberate. Each song on Monster was supposed to be a different character. For an album with a lot of heavy rock, Monster's a really deep album about sexuality, identity, envy and more.
all hail mike mills' shiny suits!

It's funny because this whole album is a parody of sorts of the 90's with this being the song that most typifies it

I saw them during this 1995 tour (Allstate) and they were awesome! Monster is their best album IMHO.

Courtney Love has repeatedly claimed that this song is about she and Kurt. I can see it.

Michael said that the song is about a groupie that used to show up at their shows. She had a crush on the band and had heavy eyeliner on.
