As for the musicianship quip, I hold musicians to what is probably a pretty unfair standard, really. Going to see guys like Charlie Hunter or Zakir Hussain or Tuck Andress live has a way of skewing one's perspective in that regard.
A more fair comparison is how they stack up against other pop/rock musicians, and REM comes out looking just fine when you do that. |
That would have been late 80's then. I didn't see them until Monster in 1995 when they were in the middle of having the drummer's head explode. That was an amazing concert despite a stupidly big venue. I have seen them four times all together with the second to make my top 5 was in a very small London venue for fans only.
