Steve Smith Posted February 11, 2017 Share Posted February 11, 2017 I think REM are for people that don't like music. 30 somethings with nice jobs and a nice house and little happy family unit in suburbia, with a lovely state of the art stereo. Except they have no records, so they think of something that they think might be "cool" and buy records by REM, U2, Dido and Sinead O'Connor, for their equally nuclear friends to think they are cutting edge Perfect music for those who have no idea. Happy shiny peopleRight when I forget that you're full of shit you come back and post something that reminds me that you're full of shit. This is not sarcasm. This is me telling you I think you're full of shit. Yes Johnny I am full of shit Now what was your point about REM please? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Happy shiny people Complete and uttter idiocy. You obviously have no in depth knowledge of their catalogue at all....their 80s output in particular was outstanding and they have written songs that will be remembered for a long, long time...also their influence was undeniable, I immediately heard it the first time I listened to Nirvana for example. I'm beginning to think that you are quite a subtle troll...... Nothing subtle about me fridge in any way shape or form unfortunately. REM are a great great iconic band. I have always liked them, but around about the late 80's they became very fashionable with people who have no interest in music sadly Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes Johnny I am full of shit Now what was your point about REM please?The point is that not a single sentence in there applies to me, any REM fan that I've ever known (and there have been tons), plenty of TRFers, and probably thousands of other fans. Anyone can recognize that your post is not an opinion at all but just a slagging. Of course, you're free to type what you want but don't get all offended and pissy when someone calls your bullshit posts for what they are. You dish out the shit but you can't take it. And you certainly take everything personally. Oh, if you'd like to know what instruments I play, check out my profile.

I actually like REM they are a great iconic band but my opinion is that they started to be liked in the late 80's by people who just bought their records to try to be cool, that is all Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

With regard to asking what instruments you play then yes that was ignorant of me, you do not need to play any instrument to have a knowledge of music, my ignorance, guilty as charged Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EagleMoon Posted February 12, 2017 Share Posted February 12, 2017 Can we just move on from the constant back-and-forth schoolyard crap, please? The more you keep talking about it it'll never end. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Babycat Posted February 14, 2017 Share Posted February 14, 2017 I managed to memorise the second half; the first half seems a bit complicated. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wil1972 Posted February 17, 2017 Share Posted February 17, 2017 When I first got into Rush I remember liking this song. Pretty sure I did have it memorized at one point. But that was twenty something years ago, so I doubt I can remember it now. Same for me, the words flow easily enough and it was catchy. But overall, it is a song I do not think I have listened to in probably 5 years. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
