R.E.M. - Radio Free Europe video free download

Yeah, I know whatever, REM is great and all that-but I hate how the drummer is always speeding up-

there was a lot of Joy Division influence in early REM. I was a punk/alt rock obsessed kid in 1982 and remember hearing the single release of this song come crashing over local college radio airwaves for the first time, like some form of musical epiphany. It was the most amazing thing I had ever heard. Their early energy was incredible and raw

That ass at 3:04 though.

I love REM ("fall on me" is one of the top 20 songs of ALL TIME IMO) ,BUT, this was a terrible performance by Stipe...just terrible (I am sure he would agree). Anyhoo, there are way better performances by REM than this shite.

Was this entire crowd given tranquilizers? Jesus...

Song of the Day

This day in music history:In 1983, R.E.M. made their first appearance outside the US, appearing on the UK Channel 4 TV show 'The Tube'.

These guys were light years ahead of their time.

LOL, this crowd has no idea what they're listening to: history

Candy A Slice

Better than U2 from the same era.

oh my god, I'm sorry for my English. Thinking in German and then just writing it in English is not the best thing to do. ;-)

Somehow I just feel lucky: I like REM. Just REM. Not REM from 1990 to 2011, not REM from 1980 to 1983, and not just REM from 1980 to 1998 or even 1998 to 2011, +mnpd3 at least you seldom get to hear, that REM were better after 98 then before, thumbs up for that, although i not quite agree. Unfortunately Radio Free Europe has at least six chords. and if you include the altered chords (sus ect.) you'll get even more. Now how punk is that? I either don't quite know what is wrong with two or three chords songs, I think not the amount of chords make a song good, but if yes, Radio Free Europe should be in top class! ;-) (you have a A, Asus2, D, E, E7M, C#m, E/C#, B)... and what's wrong with the stage performance? That IS Buck. He may not jump around that much today, but they were young, they had fun and they LIVED there music. They did in their last years, too, just in an older way. ;-)And for punk and REM: Well, I think REM took punk (and many other elements, just listen to Fables, and yeah, Buck jumped around there, too OMG! HOW DARE HE?) and transformed it into something, that is now known as "Alternative Rock" (REM was not alone, there were a lot of other bands, that had quite an influence, too).So, don't see anything that is wrong about that.... nah, but i don't think it makes sense, you have your opinion, I and many other have ours.

Or maybe they were in awe thinking we are witnessing history. Put that in your pipe and smoke it. :)

Musical genius? Had REM stayed in this 3-chord punk phase few people would remember them today. After 30-years I still can't figure if Buck was standing and trying to fall down in this performance, or falling and trying to gain his feet. It'd be better for REM history if acts like this say they were parodies of the Sex Pistols.
