Paid Members Burchill's Buddy Posted September 23, 2011 Paid Members Share Posted September 23, 2011 I didn't notice Thunderplex was such a good troll/massive retard. Kinda came out of nowhere, that. Â Not really. He recently described Freebird as '14 minutes of musical bliss'. The fool. It's actually 9:06 of musical bliss. Unless he's referring to the popular 'Live at Freedom Hall' version. Which is 12:12 of musical bliss. Â Â You're no buddy of mine, then! Â I wouldn't chalk myself down as a massive REM fan but I do like a lot of their tracks from many of their albums. They haven't been much cop for a while, though. It will be interesting to see what they separately do next. I think Stipe will work doing appearances on other peoples records for a bit. Anyone else like the track he did with Placebo on their 'Meds' album? Â Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paid Members Burchill's Buddy Posted September 23, 2011 Paid Members Share Posted September 23, 2011 Â Fair enough, that's a fucking great version. I love watching Ronnie Van Zant on live versions of Freebird. He essentially just becomes a low-key Bez for the last 6 minutes of the song.

Loki Posted September 23, 2011 Share Posted September 23, 2011 I once came across a bootleg live CD of a Lynyrd Skynyrd concert that included a 23 minute version of Free Bird. I'm very annoyed I didn't buy it as I have no way of proving this now, but it does exist. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderators PowerButchi Posted September 23, 2011 Moderators Share Posted September 23, 2011 Has anyone heard the REM/Billy Bragg "Bingo Hand Job" stuff? I used to have them on MP3 on my old PC. Now alas not. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

King Pitcos Posted September 23, 2011 Share Posted September 23, 2011 One of the boys from REM is in Tired Pony. Anyone like them? I love 'em. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MarkAT Posted September 24, 2011 Share Posted September 24, 2011 Chalk me down as meh. Really liked a couple of tracks such as "Man On The Moon" but even in their heyday I thought they were hugely overrated. A poor man's Crowded House. Â A poor mans Byrds, surely?

Now alas not.  sorry thinking of hindu love gods  Hindu Love Gods was R.E.M. without Stipe plus Warren Zevon of Werewolves of London fame. Bingo Hand Job was the fake name they played a secret show under at the Borderline around the time Out of Time came out.  Tired Pony's album is excellent. I'm surpised it didn't get more coverage, seeing as it does sound almost exactly like Snow Patrol. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bobbins Posted September 25, 2011 Share Posted September 25, 2011 can you name me another band whose best known song is written in 3/4 time? There are lots of arguments that can be made against R.E.M. but samey is certainly not one of them. In actual fact they pull in so many directions is probably a weakness at some points in their career. Â Purely because I know the answer....Iris by Goo Goo Dolls is in 3/4, and 4/4, and 12/8... Hate to be a pedantic asshole but Everybody Hurts is in 6/8. I'd say that (horrible) Goo Goo Dolls one is in 12/8 apart from the bridge. Â I preferred this beauty I fuckin love that.

cobra_gordo Posted November 11, 2011 Share Posted November 11, 2011 I preferred this beauty  I remember that cropping up on the soundtrack to a skateboarding vid my brother had when I was 16 or something and just constantly rewinding it to listen to that song. I've never been an REM fan but that is just really haunting stuff.  *Edit* I found the link to that old skateboarding vid if anybody wants to see it in that context, I think it's pretty awesome.  Nick Jensen- A Day In The City Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
