Regardless of what your opinion about R.E.M. is, there's no denying that they shaped the face of alternative rock for years. Heck, they've basically been every kind of alternative rock band themselves. They spent their formative years as cult favorite college rockers. Then, they started attracting more and more attention until they were making music with genuine mainstream appeal. Between 1991 and 1992 alone, they released the folk- inspired Out of Time and the baroque Automatic For The People, making them easily the most successful band to attack the audiences of the early grunge era with both mandolins ("Losing My Religion") and string arrangements (A good chunk of Automatic ). Oh, and as Rolling Stone reminds us, said arrangements were by Led Zeppelin's John Paul Jones, because of course. That alone would have been enough to cement these guys' legacy, but they just kept on going, pinballing from straight rock to low-fidelity artsiness to electronic experiments. And then, in 2011, they broke up. As Matthew Perpetua of Rolling Stone tells us, the decision was amicable enough — but what on earth could have caused these seemingly boundless creative forces of music to part ways after three decades of glory? What could be the real reason R.E.M. broke up? R.E.M. just wandered away to do other things. In a 2016 interview with David Fricke of Rolling Stone , guitarist Peter Buck insisted that R.E.M. never truly broke up, despite their 2011 message where they declared they were "calling it a day as a band." To be fair, there's a lot of "technically," there. The original lineup had technically already fractured in 1997, when drummer Bill Berry left the group. Buck himself admits that the rest of R.E.M. technically broke up in 2011, but he's also quick to point out that they only "broke up" in the sense that they stopped touring and making records. They still have all sorts of properties they own together, from publishing companies to record masters and even buildings. As for why they broke up, in whatever sense they feel like they've done so, Buck says that they basically just grew weary of life in a huge major label band with scores of hits. This is evidenced by the fact, he notes, that former members have kept quite active, but prefer to keep their artistic activities at a grassroots level instead of forming supergroups. And how did they arrive at the all-important decision to "break up?" According to Buck, Michael Stipe said: "I think you guys will understand. I need to be away from this for a long time." Buck replied: "How about forever?" and bassist Mike Mills chimed in: "Sounds right to me." Talk about band chemistry. Whatever Happened To R.E.M.? The most famous and successful product of the 1980s music scene in Athens, Georgia, R.E.M. became one of the biggest bands in the world. Not only did Michael Stipe, Mike Mills, Peter Buck, and Bill Berry sell millions of records and make really artsy music videos, they pioneered and popularized a whole new genre of music: college rock (or as it would later be known, alternative rock). Built on jangling guitars, melancholy melodies, and the crushing baritone of Stipe, R.E.M. secured their place in rock history with songs like "Fall on Me," "The One I Love," "Everybody Hurts," "Losing My Religion," and "What's the Frequency, Kenneth?" R.E.M. was even enshrined in the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 2007. R.E.M. dominated alternative radio, MTV, and the charts in the '80s and '90s, but the band eventually ceded its position to other, major left-of- center groups that followed in its wake. So afterwards, what exactly happened to the four musicians who changed music history? Well, here's what the members of this merry band of shiny happy people have been up to over the past few years. R.E.M. split up in 2011. In March 2011, R.E.M. released its fifteenth studio album, Collapse into Now. Just six months later, the band announced that it was unequivocally, absolutely, and completely done. "As lifelong friends and co-conspirators, we have decided to call it a day as a band," read an announcement on the group's website (via Rolling Stone ). "We walk away with a great sense of gratitude, of finality, and of astonishment at all we have accomplished." But why? Why end a band after more than three decades of unbelievable success and musical experimentation? "The time just feels right," bassist Mike Mills added, assuring fans that "there's no disharmony here, no falling-outs, no lawyers-squaring off," and that the decision was made "together" and "amicably." Singer Michael Stipe later told Salon that the group had been winding out since its 2008 tour. In 2016, guitarist Peter Buck recalled the breakup discussion to Billboard , saying, "We got together, and Michael [Stipe] said, 'I think you guys will understand. I need to be away from this for a long time.' And I said, 'How about forever?' Michael looked at Mike, and Mike said, 'Sounds right to me.' That's how we decided." Buck also chalks up the end to the not wanting to become an over-the-hill rock band that was just playing the hits. "We didn't want to keep doing 20-year-old songs." Michael Stipe moved into the visual arts. Michael Stipe has always been an artsy guy, and his need and willingness to express himself has never been limited to his substantial musical talents. While still fronting R.E.M., he released a coffee table book about a certain New York rock legend called Two Times Intro: On the Road with Patti Smith . That book prominently featured Stipe's photography, a passion he's had more time to pursue since the demise of R.E.M. And in July 2018, Stipe published Volume 1 , a collection of pretty pictures he took between 1980 and 2015. A year later, he teamed up with Canadian artist and author Douglas Coupland (author of Generation X, who coined that name to describe his and Stipe's generation) to make Our Interference Times: A Visual Record , another collection of provocative visual art. The erstwhile singer also dabbles in sculpture and art installations. In 2018, Journal Gallery in Brooklyn presented Infinity Mirror, which included Stipe's artful arrangement of a bunch of old chairs and shelves. "Each of these is something coming out of the magic decade of the 1970s. I turned ten on January 4, 1970, and turned 20 on January 4, 1980, so it was a teenage decade for me," Stipe told ARTnews . As for what inspired the installation, he saw the shelves online, and as he explained, "They just looked so '70s — then I wondered,' What would happen if I stacked them?'" Michael Stipe is still making music . but rarely. As one of the most famous and distinctively voiced frontmen to ever bounce around a stage, a breakout solo career for Michael Stipe seems like an inevitability, and any music he'd release would sell at least moderately well to R.E.M.'s huge fan contingent. Well, one would think that, but in spite of this, Stipe has released extraordinarily little music in his own name since leaving his world-changing band. In October 2019, eight years into a professional life sans Mills, Buck, and Berry, Stipe released his first single, "Your Capricious Soul," with proceeds going to a climate change activism charity called Extinction Rebellion. Three months later, Stipe released a follow-up, another one-off single called "Drive to the Ocean." He released it on his website on January 4, 2020, his 60th birthday, at a price of 77 cents and pledging to send profits to another climate organization called Pathway to Paris. As of February 2020, Stipe has yet to release an entire album's worth of material. Yes, that is Michael Stipe in that thing. As the lead singer of R.E.M., Michael Stipe was always the "face" of the band, and he was highly recognizable, what with his clean pate, wiry frame, and wildly fluid dance moves. So it's of little surprise then that Stipe has been the one guy from R.E.M. to go Hollywood, showing up with relative frequency on television and in movies. He's played an exaggerated version of himself twice on the silly and satirical At Home with Amy Sedaris, popped up as a talking head in documentaries about R.E.M. and the band Big Star, along with multiple appearances on both The Colbert Report and The Late Show with Stephen Colbert.

    May 24, 2014 Star Shines at Shell PHOTO BY YOSHI JAMES Homage to cult band’s “Third” kicks off Levitt series By Bob Mehr The Levitt Shell’s 2014 summer season opened Friday night, with a teeming crowd of roughly 4,000 who camped out under clear skies to hear the music of Memphis’ greatest cult band Big Star, in a show dedicated to its dark masterpiece, Third. Performed by an all-star troupe of local and national musicians, it was yet another reminder of how the group, critically acclaimed but commercially doomed during their initial run in the early 1970s, has developed into one of the unlikeliest success stories in rock and roll. The Third album — alternately known as Sister Lovers — was originally recorded at Midtown’s Ardent Studios in the mid-’70s, but vexed the music industry at the time, and was given a belated, minor indie-label release at the end of the decade. However, the music and myth of Third would grow exponentially in the decades to come. When it was finally issued on CD in the early ’90s, the record was hailed by Rolling Stone as an “untidy masterpiece ... beautiful and disturbing, pristine and unkempt — and vehemently original.” 1 North Carolina musician Chris Stamey had long been enamored of the record and the idea of recreating the Third album (along with full string arrangements) live on stage. He was close to realizing a version of the show with a reunited, latter- day Big Star lineup, when the band’s camp suffered a series of losses: first, with the passing of Third producer Jim Dickinson in 2009, and then the PHOTO BY YALONDA M.

  • On Bach's Bottomby Alex Chilton
    On Bach’s Bottom by Alex Chilton Elizabeth Barker Not too many years ago, I stole a rock star’s likeness for my novel and then he asked me on a date. He’s the singer for a band I’ve loved since I was 14, one of the most enduring infatuations of my life. The character I based on him was very minor: my protagonist’s most adored ex-boyfriend, who wore beaded necklaces and ate his ice cream from the pint, with a butter knife instead of a spoon. He existed in flashbacks where kids drank Alex Chilton warm beer on back porches in the New England summertime, Rickie Lee Jones on the Bach’s Bottom radio. In one scene he dragged his finger through the melted frosting of a lemon danish, on a front stoop on a Sunday morning when he and his girl had barely slept and both had 1981 exciting hair, unwashed and ocean-salty. Line Records There wasn’t much point in adding that character to the story. I mostly stole the singer’s likeness so that I could infuse some of his goofball aura into my book. His aura was the exact sunny-yellow of the nucleus of a lemon danish, and I wanted to use him like a filmmaker uses pop songs to siphon off the sentiment of the melody. A few months after I wrote that section of my book, the singer moved to Los Angeles, to my side of town. And it unthrills me to get to this part of the story, because no one ever wants to use the word Twitter when they’re talking about love—but I suppose that’s the reality of the world today.

  • MTO 11.4: Spicer, Review of the Beatles As Musicians
    Volume 11, Number 4, October 2005 Copyright © 2005 Society for Music Theory Mark Spicer Received October 2005 [1] As I thought about how best to begin this review, an article by David Fricke in the latest issue of Rolling Stone caught my attention.(1) Entitled “Beatles Maniacs,” the article tells the tale of the Fab Faux, a New York-based Beatles tribute group— founded in 1998 by Will Lee (longtime bassist for Paul Schaffer’s CBS Orchestra on the Late Show With David Letterman)—that has quickly risen to become “the most-accomplished band in the Beatles-cover business.” By painstakingly learning their respective parts note-by-note from the original studio recordings, the Fab Faux to date have mastered and performed live “160 of the 211 songs in the official canon.”(2) Lee likens his group’s approach to performing the Beatles to “the way classical musicians start a chamber orchestra to play Mozart . as perfectly as we can.” As the Faux’s drummer Rich Pagano puts it, “[t]his is the greatest music ever written, and we’re such freaks for it.” [2] It’s been over thirty-five years since the real Fab Four called it quits, and the group is now down to two surviving members, yet somehow the Beatles remain as popular as ever. Hardly a month goes by, it seems, without something new and Beatle-related appearing in the mass media to remind us of just how important this group has been, and continues to be, in shaping our postmodern world. For example, as I write this, the current issue of TV Guide (August 14–20, 2005) is a “special tribute” issue commemorating the fortieth anniversary of the Beatles’ sold-out performance at New York’s Shea Stadium on August 15, 1965—a concert which, as the magazine notes, marked the “dawning of a new era for rock music” where “[v]ast outdoor shows would become the superstar standard.”(3) The cover of my copy—one of four covers for this week’s issue, each featuring a different Beatle—boasts a photograph of Paul McCartney onstage at the Shea concert, his famous Höfner “violin” bass gripped in one hand as he waves to the crowd with the other.

The early days of the formation of the band in their hometown of Athens, Georgia and their first Perfect Circle: The Story of REM at making music together are covered in detail with references from various friends who saw them through their formative days. They were heavily bolstered by a healthy local music scene which was open to embracing the new wave of sounds together with a healthy student population and college radio network which was prepared to air their music. Of course their dues were paid and their act was honed by playing live and most of the period was spent on the road. Supported by a sympathetic record label in IRS, they were lucky enough to have artistic license even from their early days and it was only when they veered from their Athens comfort zone and relocated to London to record their third album, Fables Of The Reconstructionthat they hit their first stumbling block. It was the break from IRS not an easy decision to make and their deal with Warner Brothers which elevated REM into the big time and one that could be viewed as the end of one era and the start of a new one — older fans maybe being a little more Perfect Circle: The Story of REM about the IRS albums and output whilst the early Warner recordings gained the mass Perfect Circle: The Story of REM and critical acclaim yet still allowed REM to remain a band who worked under their own terms and agenda.
