R.E.M.: Accelerate 08

No. You have (and continue to) act like a child becuase you told to "twat off" (who even says that?), "mug" (again?), and a "muggy cunt". oooh. interesting variation of the standard mug there. Just stop it.

Decent enough gig but I'm not the biggest fan and thought it was a little bit on the lengthly side. Stipe was getting incredibly into it though - you can't fault him for enthusiasm! They haven't played Everybody Hurts at live gigs in the last 2/3 years, to my knowledge, I guess it doesn't really suit the mood.

If one had to say a song by R.E.M. that was dated "Everybody Hurts" may just be a top pick. Because of it being played contstantly in the 90s and not exactly being a close relative to the more pioneering harder alt rock that made them famous. But hey, whatever, I can't be arsed to argue with you anymore - you're clearly a bit of a child.

They're not as dated as your beloved Busted ...

nathamania, first you moan about R.E.M. being dated and then that they didn't play Everybody Hurts. Make your mind up. Are you just looking for an arguement?

I was listening to an interview with Mike Mills on radio5 a week ago and he gave the reasons the band doesn't always play everyone of the bigger hits like everybody hurts and nightswimming. And if the band has reasons that they don't always want to play the same songs over and over fair play. I'd preffer to hear some of the well known songs but also some of the earlierstuff that isn't done at every gig. I've seen REM six times now and that was the best of all the gigs i've ever been to.

Yeah I didn't miss Everybody Hurts either; and there was acoustic versions of Let Me In and I've Been High to satisfy the need for a few softer spots. Fantastic show, does anybody know the Editors' setlist?

You got the classics ... i'd rather have an encore comprising of Losing My Religion, Perfect Circle, It's the End of the World and Man on the Moon then having Everybody Hurts there. Too slow really and you got your "lighter ... well phone moment" with Electrolite anyway. Glad Everybody Hurts wasn't there.

R.E.M. were brilliant - I passed up an opportunity to see them play by Loch Lomond about fifteen years ago and I've regretted it ever since, so it was superb to finally catch them live. Stipe continues to be a great showman, and the atmosphere at Twickenham was superb!

Ah, what a great gig! Enjoyed that so much! Country Feedback, One I Love and End of the world as we know it were all amazing. Guillemots and Editors I can take or leave, but REM really sounded great, it was expensive but worth every penny.

I think it was absolutely amazing - the setlist was the best I've ever seen or heard, Country Feedback in particular was a highlight. I don't agree at all that they seem dated - they were really energetic and fun, and Stipe's voice is still just incredible. I had a really great night.

The classic piano standing ... i'd have stayed personally and prayed that he fell off the edge and straight onto his head. Most rock n' roll thing he could manage.
