R.E.M - Rought Cut



We’re probably never going to be in a position like this again. We’re probably never going to be as popular and be able to do a world tour on this scale.’
- Michael Stipe, 1995.




‘R.E.M. is a band who can appeal to the 14-year-old nephew who won’t listen to anything other than Megadeth and also it’s not something your mother will necessarily change the radio station for.’ So says one of the many journalists vying for the band’s attention throughout the filming of this intimate documentary following R.E.M.’s daily lives as they prepare for their 1995 world tour.
