[@sebastianfraczkowski1249]

This video was most likely inspired by the video to the song „Wolnosc słowa” by the Polish band Püdelsi, who supported REM in their concert in Warsaw and whose album with the song (and the video) had been released shortly beforehand.

In the Athens Demo of Bad Day off of Life's Rich Pageant Deluxe Edition one of the underdeveloped lyrics was "watch your heel crush crush that means war" so I'd say it definitely contributed to It's The End of The World as We Know it

IMO, one of the greatest bands in history. They managed to marry post-punk with Southern rock with terrific results and each band member brought his unique personality to the overall sound of the group. I love, love, love them-they’re simply extraordinary.

Aww, that's crappy you never got to see them live. I envy anyone who saw them at the pinnacle of their career circa 1995. Michael always engaged so brilliantly with the audience, and Mike was always up for fun, Peter not so much towards their break up.

[@Givingitashot]

@@laurareilly4686 Maybe one last gig? Who knows but I doubt it!😭 Awesome awesome band.

[@petesrepairs]

I still think this is one of THE best videos I have ever seen. The way its put together, the way its so relaxed and calmly "spoken", the story and everything.

[@zunstraal]

I always had the same idea. Another great videoclip from REM was "Imitation of Life"

[@istantinoplebullconsta642]

I would have to agree, expecially the "producrion value" of this video - they nailed the corporate Newzcasts. The broadcaster's fake, auto-pilot acting and the mindless delivery is spot on. The nonsense news bites scrolling across the bottom are hilarious. I love the incredibly perfect segways between pieces, and I lol everytime at the absurdity of the typhoon-in-the-house couple, and hurricane boy - both are perfect mockery of the typical over-the-top, "shocking" hype stories.

[@friedoutmukke864]

This is my favourite R.E.M. song. Awesome lyrics and I like that little bit of punkrock in this song.

[@MrRobinJerome]

FriedOutMukke oh yeah the Rest of REM Songs would be much cooler if they had more influence of Punk

[@IdiotAmigo]

@@MrRobinJerome Check out their earlier albums, there's much more of a punk influence there. Also 1994's "Monster", 2008's "Accelerate". A personal favorite of mine which really rocks is "Begin the Begin". Also dig their dark, kind of grungey rock songs such as "Oddfellows Local 151", "I Remember California". R.E.M. is such an eclectic band, the range of diversity in their songs almost equals the Beatles' output. There's melancholy ballads, folksy songs with acoustic guitar and mandolin, sunshiny pop songs, dark moody grunge, energetic rockers and experimental electronics. I love R.E.M., and I'm sure their catalog has something to offer for everyone (even hip-hop - "Radio Song", "The Outsiders".)

[@xSergioRottenx]

This one sounds kinda Social Distortion

Aside from this being an incredible song, the video clip is just brilliant. So much talent in those guys.

[@samlelowitch]

R.E.M. had so many unique qualities and each guy in the band brought something special to the table. Mike Mills is a phenomenal bassist (and keyboardist) and one of the best complementary vocalists in rock history; Peter Buck had that distinctive jangly thing and hardly ever played traditional solos; Bill Berry's drumming was never boring and he had a strong influence on the songwriting; and Michael Stipe evolved from this shy, waiflike former art student to become one of the greatest rock-and-roll vocalists of all time in a new-wavy college band with an intriguing Southern heritage. Quite a story, wouldn't you say?

My sisters boyfriend introduced me to REM back in the old days. at first I just thought they sounded weird, but I did my military service, and my group mate Peter björk (swe) had a tape (yes, back in the times where u listened on tapes), with midnight oil diesel and dust on one side and life's rich pageant on the other. and since then I'm stucked. everybody hurts is my absolute favorite, but life's rich pageant always have a special place in my heart. because that's when I first discovered REM . rock on, music that never will grow old.

From the newsreel on the bottom that I get chuckles from when I focus on it, to the obvious things like a literal office flood. This all is just an aspect of what I love about the video and the song. I remember how I was excited to see it on TV back when I watched TV stations like Vh1.

If you mean the 2003 version, then we're the almost same age - I was 18 :) Not my introduction to the band, but still, a favorite. The introduction happened in 2001 when Imitation Of Life was on heavy rotation; for the last few days I've been revisiting that era a lot :)

[@felixalarcon9849]

REM, what a master piece of group

[@MoonchildMindaugas2]

Saw R.E.M. live twice, first in Jan 2005 and then fall of 2008 - one of their very last shows! Being a pretty active fanboy at concerts, I am bound to get noticed every once in a while. And so, in 2008, Michael walked over to Peter during a song and told him something, pointing at me with a good smile :D ! It's truly sad that not only they have split up, but also there's not much new solo or other-band music coming from them, except Peter.
