Hey Michael looking so good.❤❤❤

[@billymurphy4800]

Wow, two pretty incredible people, a priviledge to listen.

[@REMstar11]

thank you so much for sharing this!

[@HarryStyles2024]

You're so welcome! I enjoy sharing interesting stories. 😊

[@JohnRedshaw]

Michael is a sweet, sweet guy. I wish I knew him personally. He'd make a great friend.

[@danielrn133]

I met him in Athens in 1990. I was a sophomore in HS and I when to spend 2 weeks with my cousin who was a student at UGA. He was eating pizza at this outdoor thing and I was next to him. I told him about my punk band I was in school. Mostly what I remember about that week was a lot of weed at my cousins house and girls. Lots of girls. I learned a lot about life those 2 weeks.

Thanks for posting this. I was supposed to be there but was ill and had to miss it

[@ST-xg3gy]

You just missed her hogging the microphone.

[@arricammarques1955]

Two gifted performers & collectors.

J'adore quand tu parles Michael, une voix unique❤❤❤

[@larskirk6268]

great conversation, great q+a with the audience

[@marcofalzone6469]

Funny. "Can't get there from Here" and "So. Central Rain" were my first introduction to REM. 84/85:

[@Jim-pt8kk]

Look up her interview with Jiminy Glick priceless

[@jhiramboggs]

We are here for Stipe, Janaene

Yes, thank you.

[@johnblake4523]

"We are far more advanced than we are led to believe" well said Janeane

[@brooke8567]

She does not shut up. Out of the loop for many years and is thirsty to be heard. She does not matter today.

[@dewdew34]

What was the question again ? she had no idea...

[@Redplanetfilms1]

Love it, but so many commercials on your video, very annoying

[@HarryStyles2024]

I'm very sorry to hear that. I have no control over KZbin commercials.

[@Redplanetfilms1]

@@HarryStyles2024 Can you check your settings and maybe reduce the amount, otherwise thanks for recording this.

[@HarryStyles2024]

I'll review. Thanks

[@danielrn133]

Does MS get a chance to talk or is it just JG talking?

[@duncefunce1513]

MICHAEL STIPE FOR LOS

[@iamgoingtodeckyoutwo5966]

There's also a "Not 33 1/3" about Reveal.

[@ST-xg3gy]

Where has she been hiding?

[@jphuston]

this was embarrasing. stipe couldn't get a word in. i was looking forward to a new interview with stipe, and all she did was talk over him. i used to be a fan of hers, but this was camera-hogging to a new level. silence is golden.

[@phototristan]

She loves the sound of her own voice, and he doesn’t like the sound of his voice so this simply doesn’t work.

[@patriciarogers922]

Why didn't he tell her to SHUT UP please Be quiet! Michael is a gentleman with a hog talker! Next to him who ever runs this show should tell her to be quiet!

[@phototristan]

@@patriciarogers922 Because he is a tolerant and polite person.

[@thobraa]

friendly tip, lens needs cleaning.

[@AcidTechnoMan5000]

Unwatchable. Next.

[@thobraa]

@@AcidTechnoMan5000 lol, yeah I wasn't that interested. That halo around the lights, everything diffuse. If people just wipe that cell phone lens its prob good as new.

[@thobraa]

@@AcidTechnoMan5000 epic synth collection btw.

[@HarryStyles2024]

Thanks for the tip!

[@ttidforever7416]

Why the fuck are people here just to bully Janeane Garofolo!? Clearly Michael and her are Friends and they wanted to have an intimate conversation that the person uploading was nice enough to share. It's a CONVERSATION, not an interview! I wish my Life was this good that I could bitch on the internet about how awful or unwatchable something was and seem DEEPLY triggered by it. Take care, and listen while you're at your next therapy session. NAMASTE.

[@funnyc40]

Thank you! I'm hearing a conversation too. They're also enjoying it! He literally said that he hates interviews. She's doing a great job of leading him and making him feel at ease.

[@damianrf6309]

I was hoping to hear Michael speak. Sorry. Who is she?

[@skoog5600]

Why this sudden burst of REM interest? Is this a set up for a new album or a revival of sorts. Me thinks so! It’s the corporate way.

[@musicartwine]

hope you’re right .. maybe a new record..

[@amanita5]

nope.. REM are NOT getting nack together, sorry- so no record either, waiting for Stipe’s solo record.😊

she talks too much

Can’t stand that interviewer

Janeane - narcissist, self important. Washed up has been.

Janeane, why didn't you ask Stipe about his parents and how they felt about him trying to be a rock star.

[@davistuttle7226]

I wish Jeanane had worn a Chin*a Viru*s mask for the interview. It would have shown she REALLY cared.
