Mike Mills, Bill Berry, Michael Stipe and Peter Buck. The gang is all here! I recorded this on my VCR in the mid-1990's. I forgot until I watched this recently what a kick-ass drummer Bill Berry was before he left the band. This video is from MTV. I make no claims to the copyright.
any clip of the video vanguard award they were talking about? that would be great. thanx anyway!

@tinyelvis10 I second that. I think it's REM's last great album.

This back when MTV had a HUGE love affair with R.E.M. They won all those awards in 1991 so MTV invited them back for the VMAs each year until 1996. Oddly, after 1996, MTV hardly ever played any R.E.M. at all.

Man, I remember watching these VMAs. I was a huge, huge REM fan in high school, but was really let down by Monster. Thought it was kind if a desperate attempt to sound harder and more relevant in the grungy 90s. New Adventures, however, while also a bit of a rocker, is an incredible album. It kind of gets lost in the shuffle when discussing REM's better pieces of work. This was my first time hearing Wake Up Bomb, and was amazed.
