Fast forward to, after years of the the two bands having been good friends, when Peter must have been thanking Bono profusely for being one of the ones to testify on his behalf to save him from getting nailed for his drunken mid-flight shenanigans.
I once heard Peter (in a radio interview around 1987), when asked about U2, say "I can wrestle any one of them to the ground." Which I thought was funny as hell.
I have fond memories of R.E.M., so I hope my next remark is taken in the spirit in which it is meant. It always seems a bit silly to talk about not being so professional when you and your band keep showing up for the photo shoots, the video shoots, the interviews, the concert tours, and so on. There's nothing wrong with being professional.
Lol I went through that phase. Jeans were sold that fit tight at at the ankle made for wearing socks over. Kind of anti-bell bottom movement. Fun times! Of course while I was doing that my brother was wearing Parachute Pants and a red sleeveless shirt loaded with Zippers ala Chess King.
First of all, common for southern rockers to wear a little eye-liner. Elvis did it. Second, Buck says he likes rock to be unpretentious and here he cites U2's grandiose stage politics and the spectacle--but REM's shows became like this by 1989.
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.
WÓWWWW...its SÓÓÓÓÓÓÓÓÓÓÓÓ SPÉCIAL...1983...!! I finished school in 1984... but Robby then if you're younger than i (nót that it matters to me except that i'm not at my most beautiful anymore!!😆😆😆) you can't be Michael then... nó wónder you had'em play that other song to me tonight LOL!!!!!!!! about how i dissappointed you and i could've done múch bétter...hahahaha...i múst get song...it'll keep me láùghing for yéárs and évery time when my heart aches like now i can júst listen to my song...!!!!! 😆😆😆😆😆😆😆😆😆😆😆i mean i can't figure it out😯😯😯😂😂😂😂😂dón't wórry...Mikey is stíll my FÁVOURITE...!!!!!!!!!! I JÚST HÓPED you were hìm Robby because you álways sang me my FÁVOURITE song...you remember..? The one Michael sang about the one he left behind...you sang to me my love... i LÓVE LÓVE LÓVE LÓVE LÓVE LÓVE you Robby... éven though i'm DÚMB...!! 😮😮😮
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
Stipe in the early years acted camera shy and the rest of the band spoke quite a bit, but toward the end he was basic spokes man and the rest took back seat to him. Then once he was tired of it, just quit. Its so obvious Buck and Mills would still be loving it to play,(which they do as well as Bill Berry called the Minus5, but its went no where near recording or hits) but Stipe vowed he will sing again, but never with REM...
"I swear it's the most exuberant thing I've seen in about a year and a half!" Her earnestness is adorable.
I swear she was interviewing them in my Mom and Dad's basement with that classic wood panel look.
When I was young and full of grace
a rattlesnake
I like the slight dig from Peter at U2.

Micheal’s voice… I’m gonna pass out.
Everyone looked great back in the 80's. Of course time has been cruel to us all that grew up back then.
Peter is the man.
And listen to Michael say "Nebrayska!" LOL.
This one goes out to the one I love! 2 Legends!
Hola. Una gran alegría R.E.M. para el tiempo de ayer y de hoy con su talentosa música.
Michael here is totally me in any group setting or out in public. XD
reminds me kurt and kris from nirvana
nice U2 dig Peter, Wasn't that Bono who was a character witness at your air rage trail? LOL
I have fond memories of R.E.M.,
so I hope my next remark is taken in the spirit in which it is meant.

There's nothing wrong with being professional.
They took equal shares
Michael with the 80's socks over his jeans! awesome!

I'm so young I'm so gd young.....
You want to hear a real Jaw-juh accent, listen to Cindy Wilson of the B52's. It's classic.
I often wish TV still looked like this because you could tell yourself it would look better in real life but now it's the opposite

Eyeliner at that time in Montgomery AL was dramatic artsy and rebellious.

they were so young......
Peter is the man.
did they just get out of bed? ;) i don`t care, just great, so young and pretty...
Post-show, most likely.
Minneapolis... hmmm... well, with bands like Husker Du should not be that surprising...
husker du was awesome and the replacements
And...you know...Prince
Byron Benoit I think you missed the bob mould reference.

There are plenty of people from the south without southern accents.

Peter Eugene Lawrence Buck. Bet most people don' t know he has 2 middle names.
*ever eaten a garage door while the taxi meter is still walking by the fluorescent menagerie of cowlicks*
sexobscura oh yes those new battery powered werewolves, I drove one up to a satellite and ordered my walls, always put your walls in order, owoo
@fred6059 i think they are also feeling gravity's pull
What happened to Peter's hand?
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).
wh
why does Peter always talks so fast?
they remind me of kurt and krist here..
Yes I read a lot about the guys. My name should be 'BillBerryFanatic'.
WTF? Did Michael Stipe actually have a southern accent?
Of course he does!
@@joycehall4866 It doesn't show up much anymore.
their voice didnt changed that much
from meatpuppets or nirvana?
Peter is wearing eye liner
My crush
College journalism.

Stipe has one of the greatest voices ever.
Peter has always been way in the background. Less so than he would have liked to, I guess.
it's incredible the amount of conspiracy theorists here. i didn't even know people this delusional liked REM! lmao
more or less
Michael is so freaking awkward! lol
That because he was on drugs!
+Kevin Johnson It is because he is not on drugs, I´d say.
He's shy n so damn cute.
