R.E.M. on VH1's Behind the Music (6 December 1998) with commercials

I recorded this episode the night it premiered back in December 1998. I'm uploading it here with the original ads, but I will also likely upload a separate video with just the ads for my fellow ad-loving nostalgia nerds! Enjoy!

    In the 80s, I subscribed to Rolling Stone and when Thiller was topping the charts, the critics of Rolling Stone chose 'Murmur' as the best album of the year. Went out and bought the cassette the same day. Been a big fan ever since.

    That's great! Well done, Rolling Stone! Here in the UK, the New Musical Express would almost always choose something obscure and crap that you were supposed to like, just to be contrary and 'cool'!

    No other band had such a deep catalog of absolute bangers.
