Stretch Posted September 22, 2011 Posted September 22, 2011 I saw them at the Dome! ours was at kings park. Seen some pretty memorable gigs and that one definitely rates in my top 5. Glad I got to see them before this happened Got the green tour video on vhs somewhere. think i need to haul it out an watch it again........wonder if that video player still works
Lucky Luke. Posted September 22, 2011 Posted September 22, 2011 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FWZf_RBcB_Y Great band, mould-busting, timeless genius. Kids should not be allowed to grow up without listening to this stuff

Glad I got to see them before this happened Got the green tour video on vhs somewhere. think i need to haul it out an watch it again........wonder if that video player still works The sound was pretty crappy at the Dome, but I'm glad I saw them. I found the box to my DVD of Tourfilm this morning…but the disc wasn't inside…

pastapouch Posted September 22, 2011 Posted September 22, 2011 More REM. This time Fall on Me, with Johnny Marr: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kJRom0ArN64TW - if you had put 'Drive' and 'The one I love' from REM on you would have made my day. The only real good songs from them. A few others are not too bad, but generally they're average(imo).Johnny Marr - that is a guitar legend. i'VE read about his life in Guitarworld / some other magazine. Awesome player.
Caerus Posted September 22, 2011 Posted September 22, 2011 Seeing as REM have called it a day after 30-odd years, here's my fave song of theirs: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=87eXabsf9mc …but this may be more appropriate: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1-rvinasoak So many memories from there music, even Kurt Cobain said they were one of his favourite bands. Ageless, brilliant music.

Caerus Posted September 22, 2011 Posted September 22, 2011 Seen as its nearly the 20th Anniversary of the release of Nevermind, http://youtu.be/vabnZ9-ex7o
Puncher Posted September 22, 2011 Posted September 22, 2011 At the moment Soundgarden - Burden in my hand. I know its from back in the day but after whatching Pearl Jam 20 documentary the other night, it just reinforced what quality rock music was produced around the 90's.

Hijack On How was that documentry? Will be hopefully getting it this weekend. Been a fan of Pearl Jam since back int he day, my sister was living overseas at the time and she sent me a cassette tape a week after the release of Ten in the US, needless to say I was blown away and a beautiful love affair started Hijack off

Some really awesome footage. But it’s also a look at the how all the 'alternative' bands influenced each other during that time. I've seen them live a handfull of times but this movie had me going and ticked all the boxes.

Awesome player.have to disagree - not about johhny marr, but about rem being average. I am not a big fan by any means, and havent really paid much attention to them since that god awful monster, but any band that has a 5 star rating album in their discography is anything but average. I listened to murmer the other day, after not having listened to it in about 15 yrs, and it is one of the most complete albums you will find. p.s tumbleweed - Fall on me is the first song of theirs i heard and my no. 2!
