Dan T. Posted September 21, 2011 Share Posted September 21, 2011 Great band. Always interesting music. Sad news. But congratulations to them on a hell of a run. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sticksboi05 Posted September 21, 2011 Share Posted September 21, 2011 Best albums are 20 + years dated so this will resemble ER leaving the airwaves. If they'd broken up in 1994 it would've been massive news. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

China Posted September 21, 2011 Share Posted September 21, 2011 Probably because Michael Stipe has been flashing naked pics of himself. (NSFW) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ixcuincle Posted September 21, 2011 Share Posted September 21, 2011 I'd be more upset about REM breaking up if it was 20 years ago when they still made good music. Still listening to Chronic Town in tribute. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
10fttall Posted September 21, 2011 Share Posted September 21, 2011 This is like hearing that Ric Flare is retiring from wrestling. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Symbol Posted September 21, 2011 Share Posted September 21, 2011 This is like hearing that Ric Flare is retiring from wrestling. Which time? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spjunkies Posted September 21, 2011 Share Posted September 21, 2011 I didn't even know (or care) that they were still together. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sticksboi05 Posted September 21, 2011 Share Posted September 21, 2011 Murmur is a fantastic album. One of my favorites. I'm going through it now. 9-9, Talk About the Passion, Radio Free Europe, Catapult - WIN. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chachie Posted September 22, 2011 Share Posted September 22, 2011 I was long "over" REM when I went to see them in concert a few summers ago at Merriweather Post Pavillion. I went because I was asked by a cute gal to go, not because I was dying to see REM. That band blew my friggin' mind that night. They were incredible. I'll never get "over" REM again. Thanks for tunes, guys. Cheers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
@DCGoldPants Posted September 22, 2011 Share Posted September 22, 2011 Not sure if I consider this breaking up as much as "retiring." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If they'd broken up in 1994 it would've been massive news. true. i didnt really care for document or anything else they put out after that. Murmur is a fantastic album. One of my favorites. I'm going through it now.9-9, Talk About the Passion, Radio Free Europe, Catapult - WIN. you, sir, have excellent taste in music. too bad they couldnt make music like that anymore.

TimmySmith Posted September 22, 2011 Share Posted September 22, 2011 Not sure if I consider this breaking up as much as "retiring."Makes me wonder if one of the mates already has a solo project on the front burner and could not get the rest of the guys into it.

Kosher Ham Posted September 22, 2011 Share Posted September 22, 2011 So. This is not even news worthy. I am shocked that some people still find them relevant. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Busch1724 Posted September 22, 2011 Share Posted September 22, 2011 Good marketing ploy. They'll take a few years off, do a couple new songs for a new greatest hits CD, do a reunion tour, and cash in on the lie they told yesterday. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
@DCGoldPants Posted September 22, 2011 Share Posted September 22, 2011 I'm sure they will all continue to make music one way or another. Maybe even together sometimes. But they've been REM for 30 successful years and still could pack stadiums if they wanted. Much respect Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Destructis Posted September 22, 2011 Share Posted September 22, 2011 THey will blow all their money on coke and come back to tour again. The funniest name for a tour ever was The Eagles 1st Farewell Tour. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
