R.E.M. - Bang and Blame (Monster, Remastered)

[@redfeather22sa]

This song. University.96 97 ..A love of mine. So beautiful.. can we say REM were & are unmatched!? And the best band in the world? Sheer perfection & mastery.

[@delboy20091]

My fave single from the album ...

[@dez1989]

This song is timeless. The lyrics, the sound, the power. It's powerful yet it rips your soul apart with those lyrics. "You let go on me". We miss you guys! It's great to see Peter Buck (still playing his Rickenbacker), Mike Mills (also playing his Rickenbacker bass from the early days) and Bill Berry getting together often to play out live! Especially with some of their backup musicians from many tours until R.E.M. disbanded. They are still the same old guys that love playing music. Not for the money either! They no longer have a NEED for money. This is simply for the fun of it. I'm sad that the only one that refuses to join up every now and again is Michael Stipe. He just won't do it. Does he really hate performing anymore? He's the only one who became a Californian, almost Hollywood. The other guys stayed as they were, stable, music loving guys who don't take themselves too seriously. They also look as though they truly love each other and enjoy each other's brotherhood. They shared all royalties equally! That was such a smart move. They never became greedy or more important than the other guy. Greedy will always kill or seriously damage a bands friendship or musical brotherhood. Just like Rush. You share everything equally. My respect to you all. I'm not knocking Michael Stipe, it just seems like wealth and Hollywood changed him and not for the better.

I can fully relate, my first time with REM(listening) was the Automatic For The People my oldest brother introduced me to them (& Dire Straits) still have to have the OEM casete somewhere, for this introduce i will always be thankfull to my oldest brother, i play guitar sometimes & E.Drums but only for me humble simple soul in my work shop(had to spill a lil bit of me(sorry but i just had to) all in all i agree with you Dez 1...

[@dez1989]

@Jimmy DiKac Dude, keep playing! I'm glad that you spilled that personal info! I still play! Started piano at 7 and bass at 13. Started on guitar at 16. Now I play mainly bass and synth. I try to record and play out as much as possible. I strongly suggest getting a few friends together and start a band. Even if you do it just for fun in the garage or basement! Don't ever give up! The day you give up is the day you kill the fun loving youth that still abides in you!

[@andrewlowe9969]

This was such a revolutionary album from R.E.M. a harder sound in the guitars and just powerful playing! One of their finest albums hands down.

[@seltonk5136]

This world is full of s*** when everyone hated it. When it came out people literally made faces like they were smelling onions. And it was the best thing I ever heard

[@jondonnelly3]

Criminally underated album.

[@HarmonyinChaos-ul3fk]

Man i will never forget when this record dropped. Sitting at a light and heard the tone of Frequency for the very first time almost paralyzed. blown away

[@seltonk5136]

I'll never forget how badly the critics hated it. I'm like what's wrong with me this is the greatest album of all time

[@themitchies]

I must’ve been 8 years old. My parents bought me this album on cassette for my Walkman. This song specifically is special to me. Thanks mom and dad.

[@MojoHandle]

"You're going to roll right over this one" = flood of emotions

[@EugeneAxe]

Your secret life of indiscreet discretions.

[@richm.3477]

It seems like this song never fully received the appreciation it deserved.

[@clarademars8062]

ONE OF THE BEST BANDS EVER!! LOVE EM! 🤗💖😘 I specially like that floppy little singer dude! 🤦so cute😆

[@raisa_cherry35]

Never heard any of these songs b4 and already falling for them 😂😂💕💕💕💕

[@Brendan-Black]

I love the little fade in/fade-out nugget at the end.

[@danielhayes7967]

My favorite track from my favorite R.E.M.

[@primaxm8845]

what a memories.. we were young :-)

[@sintesiz]

I've heard this before and I lost it in the years of music shuffle. And I just heard on the radio this morning on downtown Julie Brown show. Let me tell you, this is not REM's most popular radio song, but it's one of the best!

[@IgnacDvorsky]

Wow! Amazing! I can hear the lyrics of the song! :D

[@ycharacoto]

Classic!!!

[@bendavidmordechai9454]

all time favorite !!

[@cynthiarodriguez9466]

[@ericckk2000]

Recuerdo aquellos días de universidad en el 95 con Bang and Blame. Excelente!

[@juliolafuente79]

If you could see yourself now, baby It's not my fault You used to be so in control You're going to roll right over this one Just roll me over, let me go You're laying blame Take this as no, no, no You bang, bang, bang, bang, bang, Blame, blame, blame You bang, bang, bang, bang, bang, It's not my thing so let it go If you could see yourself now baby, The tables have turned The whole world hinges on your swings Your secret life of indiscreet discretions I'd turn the screw and leave the screen, Don't point your finger, You know that's not my thing You came to bang, bang, bang, bang, bang, Blame, blame, blame You bang, bang, bang, bang, bang, It's not my thing so let it go, now You've got a little worry, I know it all too well, I've got your number, But so does every kiss-and-tell Who dares to cross your threshold, Or happens on your way, Stop laying blame You know that's not my thing You know that's not my thing, You came to bang, bang, bang, bang, bang, Blame, blame, blame You bang, bang, bang, bang, bang, It's not my thing so let it go You bang, bang, bang, bang, bang, Blame, blame, blame You bang, bang, bang, bang, bang, It's not my thing so let it go You kiss on me, tug on me, rub on me, jump on me, You bang on me, beat on me, hit on me, let go on me, You let go on me

Didn't they do this on Saturday Night Live ?

[@jeanninecharles8284]

YES!!!! They did!!!

[@RossellaPellegrini-o5l]

😊grandi

[@delboy20091]

How many more R.E.M. fans listen on spotify? If any of you didn't know, by listening on spotify adds towards sales, all get streaming R.E.M. :-) some of their albums deserve to sell more, especially the earlier few albums.

[@jaysharpESQ]

The original (pre remastered) sounds SO much better

[@edbaiza7757]

How so?

[@MrGabbo85]

Puscifer should cover this song

[@helenavaneden1684]

To all the leeches: stop trying to stop me and don't tell me you can't help it. I realize it's about whether you're in favor or not

[@breal1183]

The White Stripes ripped off this entire chorus!!

[@tarvinblankenshipgfaerlestrst]

I miss bands like REM and U2 at times i got annoyed cause they were always str8t bank on radio and now i dont think REM is even a band at this point and U2 ..let me add its a sad state of affairs when UFkn2 releases an album back in 16 or 17 whenever and no 1 radio smash like since gd kintergarten when pride was a single but considering Bono Edge and co are qiping there asses with 100 dollar bills guess they dont feel it but from way down here u see the changes fkn radio plays NIRVANA like there still new and wont touch Established artists that have neq shit only the same top 40 songs dont deviate from it ,fkn radio in the south sucks period all stations

[@maryannstipe8964]

Michael and Maryann sitting in a tree, k-i-s-s-i-n-g, first comes love, then comes marriage, then comes Michael and the baby carriage!!!😁😁😁 Sorry, sorry.

[@eddieschwab864]

LOL sadly of course we all know his real life. But everyone can certainly dream certainly I had those kind of dreams about Kate Pierson from The B-52's. Although I dated a girl for a while that thought I looked like Michael Stipe.

[@XristosKarasavvas]

not my thing so let it go or wise up as I'd say
