R.E.M. brings down-to-earth style to A&M
From staff and wire reports
When members of the
Georgia-based rock group
R.E.M. take the stage tonight at
G. Rollie White Colliseum, they
will bring with them a down-to-
earth philosophy about their
music and their popularity.
They are cheerful and up front
about not being superstars,
neither here nor abroad.
The quartet’s guitarist, Peter
Buck, puts it this way: “I don’t
know if I could handle big
fame. I can’t imagine what it
would be like to be Prince or
Bruce Springsteen or
somebody. Now it’s at a nice,
steady rate.”
R.E.M. isn’t doing badly.
The group has made an album
a year for I.R.S. Records
starting in 1982, plus “Dead
Letter Office,” a collection of B
sides on singles, which was No.
188 on Oct. 3, its 21th week on
the best-selling chart.
A new LP, “Document,”
was No. 16 on that date and
climbing, its second week on
the chart.
The first single from
“Document” is “The One I
Love.” It charted Oct. 3 at No.
70 and climbing, the best any
R.E.M. single has done to date.
“Everybody lies and says
they’re huge in Europe. We’re
well respected in Europe. We
don’t sell a huge amount of
records. We don’t have hits,”
Buck says.
Things have worked well for
I.R.S. and R.E.M.
“We were interested in
being on a smaller label,” Buck
says. “We were afraid on a
major label, we’d be pushed
into doing things not natural to
us.
“I like for people to see our
whimsical and fun side.”
About the new LP,
“Document,” Buck says: “I
hate to say it’s a thematic
record. That’s so pretentious.
The idea was to take a look at
the world as we see it.
Musically it needed to be linked
to an idea of the chaotic time
we live in.
“You push and pull songs
into some kind of shape and
order. We’ve thrown songs
away where we can’t agree on
key or tempo. We figure it is
easy enough to write songs; we
can just write another one.
Every record has one song
each of the band members isn’t
really wild about but we never
do anything someone hates. ”
R.E.M. stands for rapid eye
movement. “It shouldn’t be
taken literally,” Buck says. “It
was just the first thing we could
think of that we liked.”
The members of R.E.M. —
vocalist Michael Stipe, bassist
Mike Mills, drummer Bill Berry
and Buck — met before they
dropped out of college in
Athens, Ga. They all still live
there.
“You’re less tense about
stardom in Georgia,” Buck
says. “Very few people are
excited when they see me on
the streets of Athens. I’ve lived
there 10 years. It’s easy to go
home. I have the same
friends.”
