  1. so cute
  2. Why these guys continued without Bill is beyond me. Their post-Monster records are embarrassing.
  3. Pink Flag is one of the most underrated album ever. Nice 1 REM, that's a lovely nod to Wire
  4. Four chords can indeed do a great song !
  5. This is indeed a Wire song.
  6. I believe this song was originally done by the band Wire.
  7. Roadrunner, roadrunner! Er sorry, wrong song...
  8. Ok, I love R.E.M. and I think they have great taste in covers. They just don't do them well.
  9. you're absolutely right you know but Peter doesn't hide from it. he once said that sometimes he uses old chords but played differently rhytmically e.g. But many bands do this you know
  10. Always loved this song... and I've always maintained that REM re-writes their songs... It's my belief that they took Wire's song and re-wrote it as Get Up.... and then Star 69 from Monster. Call me crazy... go ahead.
  11. I've got this excerpt of this show on a boot called "Up North"
  12. I see that I am in the minority, but they really butchered this one IMO. Wire's version speaks to me, this doesn't..
  13. Today it's ten years ago!
  14. It´s WIRE! From Pink Flag album
  15. Velvet Underground was big influence on REM, sometimes Velvet Underground influence shows in REM songs. :)
  16. omg this sounds like the velvet underground with that organ :D
  17. I love their version of this on Document. It's the only slow song on Wire's first album. So R.E.M. sped it up. I also love that Peter —who hated guitar solos— plays a guitar solo in a song by a band that also hated guitar solos.
  18. I am glad to help. :)
  19. You are very welcome. :)
  20. Yes very unusual. :)
