R.E.M. - Revolution

[@TheGamesHeaven]

One of my favorite songs by R.E.M.!! :)

[@AngloSaks666]

I saw them play it on the Monster tour, and figured maybe it was maybe a cover of some mid to late 70s rock/punk/protopunk/powerpop band or the like that I didn't know. I only just found it again now, being reminded of that show and wanting to find it, hearing it again since then only today, and also only to find out its actually one of their own songs, only later released as an extra on their 'best of' album, though also used earlier on the 'Batman & Robin' soundtrack.

I think it was left off Monster as it didn’t fit. Heard it live in ‘95 too and as much as I like the song it doesn’t stand up to repeated listens like others. Still a nice wee rocker though✊🏻

[@corey-bird3489]

Batman and Robin soundtrack!!

[@1970Ducati]

It’s a great great track

[@derrisEbynum7182]

Batman and Robin brought me here where did they play this song in the movie?

[@kenwatson9605]

They didn't unfortunately

[@KiryuGodzilla1]

It's not in the movie, but it's only on the soundtrack.

[@ElectrikZombie]

It's only in the soundtrack and also in the vhs soundtrack spot

[@YuukiTakemoto1996]

Was this the song played in the scene where Poison Ivy and Bane find a group of thugs in a room at Arkham Asylum that they later make theirs?

[@MrCodyhoskins]

That was actually the Goo Goo Dolls song.

That wasn't Arkham Asylum, it was an abandoned Turkish Bath house.

[@kevinpatrick499]

I read this was written during the "Monster " Era ... anyone know if it's true ?

[@Macsimus75]

Yes it's true. They played it live during the Monster tour, but the song didn't make it to the record.

[@magicjackm]

makes sense considering it was on Batman Forever soundtrack, which was around 1994 i think

[@carpediem9314]

yes, true.

[@blueschewy2558]

Actually, it is on the Batman and Robin soundtrack.

[@knownpleasures]

Monotonous one tone record! I can see why it was left out of monster

[@1stGeorgiaGirl]

They always played it as a warm up song before concerts.

[@mercedesblack7828]

Thats the point. The singer sounds like that to reflect the mood of the theme. If you know REM well, you'd have picked up on it. Michaels a good actor!
