Broke up, lived well. "The most important thing about going to a party is knowing when to leave." - Michael Stipe
@practicewarriors
Hats off to the interviewer who not only asked REALLY intelligent and insightful questions, but who also gave them space to answer them at their own pace. Really a pro job!!

I love that Michael Stipe goes on YouTube and marvels at live R.E.M. performances just like I do. 😄
@conorfurlong
I really would like to thank everyone involved in making this interview happen. To see the four of them together discussing at length the history of the band is a privilege. R.E.M. are to me what The Beatles were to my parents’ generation, can you imagine what that generation would give to be able to see the four Beatles all around a table all looking back on their time together as a band. That’s how I feel watching this.
@darraballance4541
“No one else sounded like us” gosh so true. A unique sound. What a delight to see them all together.
@OurFamilyInMotion
What jumps out at me watching this amazing interview is how much mutual respect exists in this band of brothers.

Michael - 64 Peter-67 Mike -65 Bill - 65 That seemed to happen all of a sudden. Time waits for no man it would seem.
@ChuckEWeiss-fk6vr
They were always accused of being 4 of the nicest people in popular music, and thank God for that. Love this band.
@DanielleBachmann-v2n
I got so emotionnal when Bill talked. 4 decent human beings.❤❤❤

They’re long overdue for the Kennedy Center Honors for their contributions to American culture and rock music. They put out consistent music since the 80s. U2 already have their medallion, so why not R.E.M.?
@daveowen9481
It’s so lovely to see Bill with them. Great guys, all of them.
@lmaololroflcopter
Even though I think REM weren’t quite as good after Bill Berry decided to leave the band, it cuts me up to see him get emotional about leaving them for his own wellbeing. Bill, you’re more important than the band. There’s no reason to feel bad about that. What a great guy.
@kingfield99
Those first few albums have a very specific magic about them.
@markrockwell6670
This is amazing. Thank you CBS and Anthony Mason for putting this together. Thank you R.E.M.!

I wanna give Bill a hug so bad 😭 I've loved this band since the late 80s, and it's just so awesome to see how chill and down-to-earth they remain. These dudes signed what was at the time the most expensive recording contract of all time--in an era when Michael Jackson was still the King of Pop. And ~30 years later, they're still a close group of friends who temper awareness of what they've accomplished with a ton of humility. Forever in my heart, thanks for all the tunes 💜
@BrianPayne-ef6kn
Hands down, one of THE greatest bands to ever grace the world with it's existence. PERIOD. WITHOUT CONTESTATION.
@brianstewart3206
Never mind a reunion on stage, just seeing and hearing them chat round a table is gold. Fascinating interview with some insightful stories from four guys that made the world a better place by making incredible music together and sharing it with us. Thankfully
@meltedwheeliebin
This band meant so much to me for so long. Thank you R.E.M.
@realmusiklover
Their integrity shines through, even now. Wonderful.
