Talk of REM reforming. Possibility?

[CaledonianGonzo]

1989 is the modern Tales of Topgraphic Oceans

Michael Stipe has finally got his solo shit together. Right now is the lowest level of R.E.M reunion likelihood for years.

there's an article coming up on itv news at 10 ...

[CaledonianGonzo]

Though the imminent failure of his solo career might be the catalyst that the Stipester needs to get the old band back together for one last megatour.

Wish people would stop going on about REM reunions. Not gonna happen. I refuse to buy into it.

[CaledonianGonzo]

You cant ignore the rumours though.

[jparx]

Reputation is the modern Reign in Blood.

[CaledonianGonzo]

All Too Well does in 5 minutes what Blood On The Tracks does in 50.

He brought out a single today. It's gonna be about his solo material.

I doubt he's trying to launch his solo career with an aim of being a huge popstar. He'll fill the one or two theatres he announces shows for, his albums will get bought by R.E.M fans, that's all that can be expected.

To rejig what you're saying, maybe going and playing shows around the world (if he does this, of course) will give him the spark needed to call the other guys up and say "how 'bout it?".

It's genuinely terrifying 

[MetaKate]

I just read back 16 pages to see if Led Zepplin has actually been confirmed. 

You all being mental is all that has been confirmed.

They wanted to do it, but Michael Stipe has now Daddy Splashed them.

Agreed. Saw Alive 2007 at Wireless. Epic times.

That encore is a thing of pure excellence. Unreal 

 

[CaledonianGonzo]

It's pretty fucked up if REM want to come back to headline one final time but they can't because The 1975 have taken the last remaining headline slot.

Should I get an Elbow CD? That's what the world wants.

The last Elbow record is pretty great though. Sweet surprise.

[Matt42]

R.E.M would be such a good booking! I do think a reunion has been thrown around quite a bit.

Seems like something Goldenvoice would make happen at desert trip or whatever!
