R.E.M. - Rough Cut

1995 documentary on the Monster tour.

[@sorcerer1975]

Never seen this doc before ... Nice to relive the 90's ... miss them terribly ... long live R.E.M. !

[@williambullock4077]

Great example of their wonderful friendship, when the other band members seemed happy about Peter Buck recently being a father with twins, and how Peter feels all the other band members are uncles.

[@whocares3188]

This is the best backstage look at SNL ever......

[@elflaco6654]

In the 80's R.E.M. was a great underground band, influencing a lot of what came down the pike in the 90's labeled as alternative, today their all but forgotten (almost), nice to see that they had commercial success and got out of the the dying bones of the music industry when they did... it was an awesome time in music. Thanks R.E.M.

[@HunchbackJack]

I actually taped this on vhs from TV by mistake when it first aired. It was on after another program I was taping. Needless to say, I watched this far more often than the other program. Thanks for uploading. It's been years since I've seen it.

[@thankyou2532]

was this originally on mtv or mtv2 or vh1 or much music or what channel please.

[@jamiej.tilleyphotographyar5177]

HunchbackJack I have a vhs copy somewhere too, and have also watched it a bunch.

[@bennymalone]

Thank you for the upload. Remember watching this on Channel 4 UK years ago.

[@dewaynehairston6286]

I remember when this aired. It introduced me to "Galveston" and "Witchita Lineman" two beautiful songs, two great R.E.M. covers.

[@Yumibest]

I saw this first time in 1995 but that was edited version, I saw 1996 full version but from the middle, since my friend told me about it from next room in domitory. Thank you so much put it on. I really love watching this again. It is beautifully filmed.

Bill Berry’s eyebrows make me want to rescue lost caterpillars.. 🐛

[@vincevirtua]

Interesting documentary. It's always fun to listen back to what these people were like in particular moments of their career.

[@smiggy68]

i taped this on vhs back in the day and loaned it to someone,you can guess the rest,so glad to see it again,brilliant!

[@josamosa]

Gees - I been wanting to see this again for years. Thank you.

[@cheddarcheese7928]

2 bands that Can(not always do)But can, sound just like their records when played live..REM and a young Elton John

[@babusaada]

THANK YOU for making this available. Never saw it till tonight.

[@weswally1]

They nailed that Webb Cover at the end, wow!

[@MrMonikerjay]

Im so tired of hearing that Monster is one of the worst albums ever. Each album is its own entity. So many people were pissed because it didn't have 3 versions of Losing My Religion on it...know what I mean? Bands need to grow in order to make good and consistent music. The sooner people start getting that the better. Try and write 30 years of hits...not f*ckin easy.

[@Queensizemusic]

MrMonikerjay it's a brilliant album.

[@thegarlicbreadman]

Its probably my 3rd favourite REM release behind Murmur and Chronic Town.

[@StorieGrubb]

i love monster. my first REM cd.

[@EsromFF]

Side A is really good but side B is just boring. Not one of their best albums in my humble opinion. However Bang and blame is a true classic.

[@rafaelrubiodiaz]

Who said "Monster" is one of the worst albums.I don't believe that could be true.That one would be antinatural.

[@rafaelrubiodiaz]

Monster is great great great , inhuman ,sobrenatural.That music belong to other planet,other galaxy.INCONMESURABLE.!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@silkywellman315]

I think Monster is an awesome album with balls!

[@barnacles62]

***** I Took Your Name, from the Monster album. Great song.

[@hayleyukulele12]

THANK YOU SO MUCH!!!!! i've been looking for this for forever!

[@parix78]

Thanks for sharing. I've enyoyed it even more than if I had watched it 15 years ago.

[@mrcupcalling]

Same here, got it on VHS somewhere, but yea, thanks for uploading. Man i do miss the 90s.

[@robopecha]

i already saw this back then, but i didnt remember a lot. i probably have it on tape somewhere :) i still love them so much, its so cute that they had to buy songbooks to remember their own songs.... :D

[@StorieGrubb]

that limo driver is chill.

[@phototristan]

I owned this laserdisc at one point in my life.

[@EdinAmmar]

Nice. Thanks for uploading this.

[@MrPiiym]

Thank you soo much!

[@mrcupcalling]

..and I always knew Stipe's comment would come back to haunt him, the one where he says 'If one of us gets up from this couch we wouldn't be REM...', but what the hell!

[@carvercapitalequitypartner122]

I was sitting here minding my own business and this bad MOFO video just popped out in front of me. I've seen it before but enjoyed seeing it again unexpectedly.

[@Handcraftedmusicvideos]

Really cool footage!

[@babusaada]

THANK YOU!!!

[@RemarkableLoser]

Love the video!

[@MrPlaidFace]

Michael is stunning, love him.

[@stechapo4009]

Wasn't this the tour that Peter Buck learnt a 4th chord to go with the G, D and C that served him so well...??

[@user-ye2vs7xd7h]

Let us hear your melody!!!

[@stechapo4009]

@@user-ye2vs7xd7h : I like PB's guitar style a lot, I learned to play guitar (sort of) by playing a lot of rem songs. So my original comment was not disparaging, the guy is a guitar hero. He ain't Hendrix or EVH but there's all kinds of styles of music and styles of playing. PB rocks.!!

[@redadamearth]

My God, those IDIOTIC questions from the journalists at the beginning.

[@kai326]

All of em suck. None of the questions are genuine. Very seldom do we see interviews that seem genuine

[@siimon46]

Great to see this again. Shame it's the edited version.

[@crystalblur3]

Ash Peter and his infamous leg shaking while talking about Zoe and Zelda not sleeping.

[@Nigelxman]

Ahh, thanks for explaining that. :-)

[@chaz32]

no wonder he had an aneurysm with those strobe lights

[@muggymug]

That is one heckuva chin Mike has.

[@robopecha]

if one of us would leave this couch, the other three would be more comfortable, but we wouldn't be r.e.m. anymore. - and they weren't.

[@rax816]

Desutoroyalove no they were REM still but they weren't comfortable

[@bonniebardowski]

super

[@acercade439]

😃❤️❤️❤️😘

[@JackKnight762]

"i will not be filmed on an airplane"--classic Stipe

[@kai326]

Can you blame him

[@thekeepaway6705]

Happy 20th anniversary

[@deathfromabove77]

anyone know the name of the song Michael Stipe is singing along to in the limo at about 20:40?

[@barnacles62]

Brandy by Looking Glass

[@deathfromabove77]

Michael Era thank you : )

[@davidmatheny1993]

I honestly had no idea that this song existed until I saw Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2. Makes this little clip even more enjoyable.

[@davidmatheny1993]

And yes I am young. I was born in '93 and Out of Time was one of the first cassettes that my mom played regularly in the car with me.

[@GertvanVliet]

Why are some of the faces blurred out at 3:04?

[@TheNellamaria]

cool

[@lordsalisbury1]

I definitely remember when I first saw this, there was a bit where they were filming segments for the TV show they appear on (sorry, don't know the name of the show, it's american, I'm british) with Sarah Jessica Parker. It was corny ads, like.... SJP - Ow. Stipe - Did you hurt your arm? SJP - Everybody hurts, Michael. Stuff like that.

[@Nigelxman]

Why? What did we miss?

[@ikesweat6037]

lol @ Bill Murry

[@LoneCloudHopper]

32:33 Where did Bill Murray come from?

[@matthewstetson711]

Right outside of Chicago.

[@paullagasse5504]

He came from his daddy's balls

[@hamupinhere]

He was actually there to do a tribute to the recently deceased former head-writer and sometimes-cast-member, Michael O'Donoghue aka "Mr. Mike". He died of a cerebral hemorrhage.

[@cyborgdeluxe8743]

My darkest years were marked with REM songs. They pulled me through some emotional shit in college. But as I grew and discovered their push towards the socialist agenda, I began to lose interest. I look back fondly on the music, yet hate their politics.

[@theflashman7768]

Agreed. Same reason I trashed my old BonJovi and Bruce Springsteen albums. You want to vote for and sing songs to raise money for socialists and communists who will destroy my freedom. FUCK YOU! Rem can suck me.

Monster is the R.E.M. worst album in the 90's. Word.

[@betarizmolinaarias344]

tu no tienes idea de nada

[@GeoffreyGentryMusic]

Nah. Up is worse.

[@earinsound]

Stipe is so pompous. He probably has to pay people to like him

[@versioncity1]

+earinsound he always a bit up his own ass - but aren't most frontmen? it's the nature of the beast. - Listen to the songs not the songwriter....

[@Queensizemusic]

earinsound to be honest, he's an incredibly sweet person. He's shy and somewhat awkward, but incredibly sweet, smart and funny as hell. All four of them are top notch people.

[@joanpelpinosas]

Well, i beg to diasagree. There are lots of frontmen from the anals of history that are a complete opposite from thier onstage persona. I can name a couple of dozen.

[@Queensizemusic]

Jabby Napigkit okay, but I speak from personal experience. He's a fantastic person.

[@joanpelpinosas]

No my friend. That comment is not for you. My comment is actually for earinsound. i totally agree with you. Sorry my bad.
