I dunno where I hear it but he doesnt remember the lyrics too well. Even during concerts he'll have the lyrics on stage with him on the floor or something just incase. I dont care, they still rock! R.E.M. FOREVER!!!!
It's so great that they're revisiting their classic sound for this song. Sort of Life's Rich Pageant era, it's a bit like I Believe or something like that.
I always prefer their rockier albums (although UP is also brilliant in a different way)

All you sad and lost apostles
Hum my name and flare their nostils
Chocking on the bones you toss to them
I'm not one to sit and spin but
Living well's the best revenge
Baby I am calling you on that...

the reason stipe was reading the lyrics was because that show was the rehearsal before they released the album it actually wasnt a concert

Bill Rieflin is a fantastic drummer- great assistance to the band. Check out that fill at 2:11- inspiring stuff!

The "new" Bill is an amazing drummer... figuring that he was the live drummer for Ministry... This is probably a cake gig for him.

Hmm, they do an extra chorus in this version. I can see why they ditched it for the album.

Only the bit at the end of the chorus is catchy when the harmony kicks in - hopefully the vocal for the verse is better on the album.
