R.E.M. CALL IT A DAY (UPDATED WITH BAND MEMBERS' COMMENTS)
"To our Fans and Friends: As R.E.M., and as lifelong friends and co-conspirators, we have decided to call it a day as a band. We walk away with a great sense of gratitude, of finality, and of astonishment at all we have accomplished. To anyone who ever felt touched by our music, our deepest thanks for listening." R.E.M.Como disse o Denão, quase uma nota de falecimento ! É como se um ente querido estivesse indo e não voltando ...CARALHO, R.E.M., naaaaaaaaaaaaão !!!!
In their own words: The guys share their thoughts on why now.
MIKE
"During our last tour, and while making Collapse Into Now and putting together this greatest hits retrospective, we started asking ourselves, 'what next'? Working through our music and memories from over three decades was a hell of a journey. We realized that these songs seemed to draw a natural line under the last 31 years of our working together.
"We have always been a band in the truest sense of the word. Brothers who truly love, and respect, each other. We feel kind of like pioneers in this--there's no disharmony here, no falling-outs, no lawyers squaring-off. We've made this decision together, amicably and with each other's best interests at heart. The time just feels right."
MICHAEL
"A wise man once said--'the skill in attending a party is knowing when it's time to leave.' We built something extraordinary together. We did this thing. And now we're going to walk away from it.
"I hope our fans realize this wasn't an easy decision; but all things must end, and we wanted to do it right, to do it our way.
"We have to thank all the people who helped us be R.E.M. for these 31 years; our deepest gratitude to those who allowed us to do this. It's been amazing."
PETER
"One of the things that was always so great about being in R.E.M. was the fact that the records and the songs we wrote meant as much to our fans as they did to us. It was, and still is, important to us to do right by you. Being a part of your lives has been an unbelievable gift. Thank you.
"Mike, Michael, Bill, Bertis, and I walk away as great friends. I know I will be seeing them in the future, just as I know I will be seeing everyone who has followed us and supported us through the years. Even if it's only in the vinyl aisle of your local record store, or standing at the back of the club: watching a group of 19 year olds trying to change the world."
Agradeço muito pela oportunidade que tive de vê-los por 4 vezes ao vivo, Rock in Rio 2001, Personal Fest 2008 e no Via Funchal (!!!!! Isso mesmo, lugar fechado ...lindo lindo !!!) por duas vezes em 2008 !!!!!!! Que ótimas lembranças, lembro-me que na nossa tradicional lista dos melhores shows do ano , o R.E.M. levou os 2 primeiros lugares de 2008, que pelo o que me lembro foi um ano legal de shows, incluindo e superando em muito a Madonna !!!
Foda, muito foda, uma banda que marcou gerações, neguinho que hoje passa e beira os 50 e até mesmo boa parte da molecada (tá certo que molecada acabo incluindo neguinho na faixa dos 30...rs) curtiu e viveu muito R.E.M..
Em dia de show de Red Hot Chili Peppers, temos essa notícia triste ...e serve para pensar, até quando haverá também Red Hot ?! Por isso pessoal, não percam a oportunidade de ver os seus (antigos) ídolos, não sabemos até quando certas instituições estarão por aí !
