REM - Crush With Eyeliner @Dallas, TX U.S. - 19 Sept., 1995

[@allanreyes6873]

It took awhile before I found Crush With Eyeliner but I'm so appreciative of the creativity, originality, and passion these four incredible people put into this song. Mike Mills' background vocals are superb! Peter Buck's artistry drives this song forward. Bill Berry continues to amaze. And, Michael is AMAZING!

[@heidigretel]

yes i agree with you :))))))))

I remember MTV simulcasting the first 3 songs from this concert live. I would get to see them a few nights later in Houston in what would be my first show ever. Radiohead opened supporting their album "The Bends." We really didn't know how good we had it back then.

[@kevsul47]

so underrated, this song.

[@johnnydtractive]

God his voice is amazing here.

[@flonsta]

Always dug this song. How about that, a band playing live and sounding great. Go figure. Thanks for posting, love the performance.

[@heidigretel]

you are very welcome :))))))

[@bonotee]

I've been smitten!!! For many years, they are the band of 'College Radio'

Damn listen to Peter Bucks Les Paul cranking out those powerhouse fuzz chords

[@mufasa1234]

love this tune. sounds great live too.

[@marioncobaretti2280]

luv the instrumentation

[@jeangary]

When I saw them (way back when), many in the audience were wearing a black vest, just like the one that Peter Buck is wearing in this vid. I wonder if people still do the same.

[@RearViewMirror123]

Thanks for this;)

Michael Stipe's voice sounding different will be deliberate. Each song on Monster was supposed to be a different character. For an album with a lot of heavy rock, Monster's a really deep album about sexuality, identity, envy and more.

[@jeangary]

Michael said that the song is about a groupie that used to show up at their shows. She had a crush on the band and had heavy eyeliner on.

Bill Berry taking care of business with his hat and gloves on! What a great drummer! And Peter Buck switched to a Les Paul to get a harder edge sound.

[@dynjarren8355]

When REM tried out Grunge. This is the result!

[@g4340]

I saw them during this 1995 tour (Allstate) and they were awesome! Monster is their best album IMHO.

[@BeetleBumpDesign]

It isn't a "parody" at all. Bill had long wanted to do a rock n' roll album which is partially what resulted in Monster. After Out of Time, Buck wanted to cut a rock record "straight to 2 track". Those are the decisions that led to Monster.

I could die for this song! ;-)

I woke up in the middle of the night... with the MTV on... and a bunch of Japanese kids were messing around to this awesome song/video thought that I had a stroke and was dreaming stuff. Woke up a lot later and found that the video and song actually were real. KZbin wasn't as live as it is now. But, I found it. Bought it as a cassette single... no video. . I

[@TiltingStars]

I was there

[@djtrixen]

[@heidigretel]

You are very welcome. :)

[@heidigretel]

its 95 -- look at Peter's hair and check out Bill on drums

[@freya331]

Courtney Love has repeatedly claimed that this song is about she and Kurt. I can see it.

[@zachariahlloyd6043]

*Not sure how I feel about the sound quality on this....* Almost just sounds like a bunch of *guitar* feedback lumped into an annoying pile!!

[@zachariahlloyd6043]

I mean, I know it is a *guitar driven* song, but *enough is enough* sometimes.... Don't drown out *EVERYTHING* else!!
