Michael Stipe Beautiful Day

[chana487]

Me encantan!!,

U are great 2!!

[codern]

anyone know what year this was?

[johnnyforjohnny]

Very sweet. Michael and Bono's friendship is genuine and deep, and it's touching to see a real great "fan out" to one of his contemporaries.

[Burncourtable]

Very very cool.

[jfdhjgdh2010]

Michael Stipe is an ugly bald monkey. He's a fag too.

[fred6059]

It's always funny to see him away from Mike and Peter

[XxxEstafxxX]

R.E.M. AND U2 ARE THE BEST BAND OF ALL TIME.

R.E.M. Y U2 SON LAS MEJORES BANDAS DE TODO LOS TIEMPOS.

[SolowBoy]

I literally jumped for joy when Michael mentioned Neutral Milk Hotel!!! Your the man Michael!!! :D

[longlegged]

I wish he would hang less with people like Bobo

[codern]

@longlegged i agree

[Klaymator97]

What is this from?

[Olivelil]

How cool is that??? Michael is so great!!

[76niro]

Bono and Stipe...." The last of the rock stars..." God bless them both!!

[rotcbrad]

I'm sorry, but is this the same Michael Stipe that bitches up a storm about global warming? Nice private jet. Love the music but put up or shut up please. His carbon footprint must look like something from the jurassic period.

I still think he's a really nice guy who makes great music and what I wouldn't give to have been on that plane but . . . come on dude, really.

[TheKebmeister]

@rotcbrad It's not that I seriously disagree with you. I see your point, but.....what would you do if you were sitting on a 767 next to Stipe???? He has to travel private.

[Val1020]

A fan is a fan is a fan....

[MissNotion]

Keep moving, Michael, keep moving! :) Adorable artist <3 :)

[iamthischarmingman]

He is the one I love!

[margaritacarne]

Michael Stipe es la vida.

[picklesjon]

The "other guy" is Mario Batali is a famous Italian chef!

[ToulacAxeHand]

Two fantastic showmen.

One in a dressing gown, and one with no hair.

Love you Michael!

[lovez2eat]

oh i love youtube...where else could i find such interesting videos like that?

i love michael stipe and rem's music, and the way he acts and speaks makes me believe he's a very nice guy

[pcboxtox]

"i wish i'd written it".......great man...

[sarastipe]

did you notice Michael talking to the pilots?? he is a gentleman.... this is why I would like to know him, most of all: he must be such a lovely person... this is what I believe.

[remnrone]

agreed, sarastipe. he seems a fantastic person

[isisaavedra]

Michael looks like any other fan listening U2, I love you Michael Stipe!!

[the1mills]

since when were batali and stipe friends?

[naitch4life]

i think this was from the sundance channel show iconoclast

[ILoveMikeyStipey]

Whos the guy with him?

[vajack35]

Mario Batali - he is a famous chef

[ILoveMikeyStipey]

Thanks, i watched it because Michael Stipe was in it but i didn't know who the other guy was.

[u23421]

No comparisions but i always thouht that U2 and REM were kind of Stones and Beatles for ours generation. I mean, they were the bands up there over the rest from 80´s to now. And watch how get on with each others is thrilling. I will always love Bono, Edge, Larry, Adan, Michael, Peter, Mike and Bill

[nueve08]

Totally with you on that... U2 and R.E.M. have always been the BANDS to listen to and to have them as a reference for other ones. But I think I totally would include on that 80´s list The Cure, The Smiths and Depeche Mode

[u23421]

You´re right! Fukin´great bands! The Police, Clash, Talking Heads too. I just named U2 and R.E.M. coz´ they are here and also i think they are the best. BTW The 60´s were great but the 80´s were when i´ve become a listener thank to a lot of amazing artist. I can´t compare it with nothing from 90´s till now.

[nueve08]

From the 90´s I would only mention Radiohead, The Smashing Pumpkins. Live, The Cranberries and Oasis as the bands that made the decade worth it.. musically speaking... James is also a great band that hasn't been recognize as it should

[u23421]

Yeah, Nirvana too. But the best moments of all them can´t be compared with the achievements of Cure or Smiths. Radiohead? A very good band but not a great band. None of them

[KerreyTheBitterSugar]

Michael is cutest, the most beautiful,funny and greatest frontman ever! ^^

[DMMP28]

Agreed.

[ILoveMikeyStipey]

SO right! he cracks me up!

[HacjienceYukona]

He was so ecstatic during Beautiful Day. That was one of the most wonderful things I've seen accompanying that song, beyond all the doves and lights and sounds. Stipe really connects with the song on a fundamental level, that joy...beautiful.

[gothrock88]

Really amazing, thanx for posting this :-) XX

[aperias]

This is from a Sundance Channel, Iconoclasts episode. It was fabulous!

[sydbarrett5]

Neutral Milk Hotel are amazing

[prancegoatprance]

Is this from a dvd? I wanna see more... micheal stipe is the best!

[macfan9000]

man, batalli and his orange shoes.. gotta love it :D Thats so cool that they went to go see bono!!

[CrazyCat9898]

I like this video, and I like U 2. It`s great to see michael on concert.

[cconchelos]

That is so cute seeing how excited Michael Stipe gets at the concert.. that he is still such a fan of music. Made me smile :) I think they both seemed bored with With or Without you, like the rest of us :)

[jeswes4u]

I noticed that too.

His eyes were wide opened and he couldn't stop staring.

I love Michael.

[AninhaV]

Michael is great! And Beautiful Day is such a wonderful song, love this!

[REMkicksStipe]

Love this video. Michael is soo cool.

[noizycat]

now that´s cool, that´s how he must see us fans XD

thanks for uploading :)

[starrynight3]

watching michael enjoy this song is great to see him in this way, it's like how we feel watching him

[HyperMushrooms]

3 of my favorite things: U2, Michael Stipe, and Mario Batali!

[prb85]

he looks like Hunter S Thompson with the shades and bald head

[kiberda]

Such beautiful person like Michael will save this dirty World

[MrsStipe]

love him

[shinyhappy12]

how beautiful is michael rockin' to U2?

[XX667XX]

i want my money back

[soundofthenorth]

that's not Stipe its Moby!!! ha ha

[SusieSpinkle]

nope it's michael stipe

[krron3]

is Stipe dude :)

[musicenthusiast86]

Even though I really would like to meet Stipe because I think he is an amazing musician I think I would be too star struck to show any emotion. I'm the only person I know that goes to concerts and doesn't go nuts. Instead I just sit there while watching and listening in awe.

[exportation]

Agreed 110%

[geoffwode1]

To be honest he seems a bit of a cunt.

[massivebeatzz]

for those of u who dont know - MARIO BATALI is a restaurant operator and famous chef in Los Angeles, of italian descent... he also has a great pasta sauce on the market i really like, at trader joe's it's avail for $2.49... ahahah.... well his reataurants in LA are authentic italian..funny to see him involved in this...

[Thaltani]

I am just in love with that man ever since I was 14.

[slikkwon]

he looks like bill murray

[TheUltimate213]

Michael Stipe is the man.

[Jedlmind]

Mike cannot dance... One would think he would have some rhythm.....

[krysthopher]

Michael, sos re groso.

[madreamax9]

I wish r.e.m. sings all u2's great songs. This is a precious video for a fan like me. Thanks for upload!

[sahim09]

sometimes i dont believe all that songs i know from R.E.M. were sung by Michael Stipe . he is so simple man ! and a genius in singing. but i wonder why i never saw him with a guitar on his hands . Have you seen ?

[REMfanNo1]

michael plays guitar in song Im Not Over You...on youtube are some videos..

[BucksStudent]

He's once claimed to have been playing guitar since he was very young... Of course the dumber Stipe freaks like to argue about that.

[blondesailorri]

I LOVE YOU MICHAEL!!!!!!!!!!!!

[sahim09]

about he only listen to himself, means that he is a internally driven person (it means that if you say bad or good about him), it doesnt affect him .

But, with a sincere appreciation from my part is that Michael Stipe is a great man on this planet . I think he has a golden heart for people . Thanks my Guru Michael Stipe.

[stipe07]

michael is my guru... a big mistery in my life... an example to my dreams! is music provides me the light I cannot resist!!! I love you michael...

[carjaxxx]

I think Michael Stipe once made the comment to not listen to ANYONEs advice and just to listen to yourself. Ok, I didn't write that in proper English, but I know what he means and it's awesome advice.

[salvafiat]

los mejores Michael & Bono.

[terra8net]

michael works hard for a free world..

thx & best wishes

terra aid networks

[sadtomatogirl]

michael got him neutral milk hotel. that's awesome. they are the best band on this planet. and other planets.

[herrokiiitty]

Am I the only one that wants to BE Michael? I'm jealous of him. :D

[sisypheansearch]

i luv interviews/clips like this, so natural & honest. & i luv how stipe loves 2 dance, his style of wild abandonment w/ no fears of looking like elaine from seinfeld :)

[Antipostmodern]

Bertisfan that is such blinkered rubbish.

You do not have to like Bono, but U2 are easily one of the best bands ever, and Bono is the best front man to a rock band ever, to deny it just shows how hate has blinded you.

[AdArmand]

i wish Stipe could adopt me.

[mfutts]

mario's a good singer...

[MusicBox1986]

REM & U2 are fucking awesome!!!!! Thanx 4 the video!!!!!

[Panzersnitchel]

THIS SUCKS!!!

[Doomhotdog]

Stipe is the best dancer ever

[BeginXtheXBegin]

I love the way Micheal says "Yeah" at 55 seconds. Random thing to like about this video, but, oh well. Great video, thanks for posting.

[byronbee]

thanx 4 posting this! a gr8 insight into one of my all time favourite vocalists.

[bertisfan]

Bono is a grade A wanker who is so full of his own bullshit. Michael Stipe and REM are amazing. Stipe is by a mile the nicest person in rock. His band are the greatest in the world, fuck U2

[thirtythreeandthird]

I love you.

[thehibtones]

It's true to some extent, but they did put out some excellent records, Achtung Baby, for instance, a lot like fables of the reconstruction, it takes itself on and becomes its own entity. Anyway who gives a fuck.

[zeppeybabey]

Hahahaha Stipey's dancing from the 3min mark onwards.. had me in tears!! ROFLMAO

[elbartostrikes]

For anybody wandering (I saw somebody asking about this on another board) Edge says to Batali "Did you like the italian?" meaning the part in italian from 'Miss Sarajevo' that Bono sings himself. Batali, being italian-american, assures him Bono was great. Then Bono, overhearing the conversation, repeats the word "il fiume" from the lyrics.

[elbartostrikes]

Anybody knows where to find the full episode of "Iconoclasts" ? I don't have sundance channel and I've been wanting to see these shows so bad! Looked eveywhere, no way to find them. This is a great bit by the way.

[powerplants]

michael stipe has never been so uncool

[REMnut12]

Is the rest of this show available? :)

[irish8300]

great michael...U2 are the best group in the world

[kll510]

LOL Talk about an odd couple. That's cool though.

[dave1999artwork]

Is that fat guy his boyfriend?

[richardzimmermann]

that's a cool video

[vjwalleum]

et le gars il offre "in the aeroplane over sea" à Batali

la sse-cla

[starbuckjunkee]

What great footage! I love to see it when musicians enjoy watching and are fans of other musicians. Michael appears to be having a wonderful time!

[MusicBox1986]

The IRON CHEF! (Iron Chef america)

[ChofiSpain]

Who is Mario Batali????

[whereisevan]

Since when have Michael Stipe and Mario Batali been friends? That's random.

[whereisevan]

I see Michael hanging out at Babbo (one of Batali's restaurants)in Manhattan all the time.

[BeginXtheXBegin]

Yeah it is, lol.

[eameschair]

This is from the Sundance channel's "Iconoclasts" program where Michael & Mario comment on each other.

[johngolby]

One of the best things I've seen of/on Michael Stipe - a really cool posting. They should have put this on one of their DVD's. Great stuff & thank you. johngolby

[mysteriousrabbit]

Thank you for posting this.

[SamaraNoronha]

Michael is a sweet thing....Its nice to see how friendly he is, he is lovely and you can easily see the sincerity in his eyes............cool video

[claytonsmithoftc]

This is really great! Was is it from?

[Lilian6]

No me canso de ver este vídeo: Michael guapooooo!!! XDD (sin embargo Bono con el albornoz me da un poco de miedo U_U)

[kujaba]

i love it !
