Wow this is a bit sad news for me!
 I'm not a huge fan at all but it's always sad to see such a good band break up... My band did a cover of one of their songs : -------------------- For GMC support please email support (at) guitarmasterclass.net

It's a very un-creative safe play by the record company to re-release an album, the profits are regarded as priority
not the advancement of music. -------------------- Visit my:

Well 30 years is indeed plenty, they did an awesome work and their music will live on, in those years who knows what these guys are thinking.
 Not sure about details of a break up.Nevermind rerelease is commemorating 20 years from original release, in that sense it's OK to do it, why not. Fans and collectors will like it and the music is timeless. It's more of a collectors release, there are lots of them around, there is a market for those. I don't think it's very connected to new artists. -------------------- - Ivan's Video Chat Lesson Notes HERE

REM was a very good band. They were so famous in my country too. It's a pity that they broke up but they already created amazing music. So.. thanks REM for the great songs!

QUOTE (Todd Simpson @ Sep 23 2011, 06:21 AM)  30 Years is a good run! But why breakup after 30 years together and announce it? Just not making much sense to me to "Officially" break up. Just stop making records and let the legend endure. But hey, it's their band so they can do whatever they want. Just kinda sad.Yeah, NEVERMIND re release is really a bit of a desperate move by the label. They just can't generate sales on new artists so they plan on Re-Releasing stuff that sold in the past. I guess the "why not" is that it's just the lable admitting "We can't break new artists anymore we are going to re release old stuff" and there are plans to keep doing this on artists that sold records in the past, so look for less new music and more "Anniversary" releases. I guess it's up to us to make new music from now on Yeah, I agree man, it's kinda strange that they officially announced just now, I didn't heard any new material for a while now, but they probably had some interest in doing it until now, did live gigs, shows, who knows.. Who know what were the reasons. Perhaps they are splitting, so now they can reissue old material because it now has nostalgic value Hey, I agree with the labels and all, but it's just a collectors edition, there are lots and lots of these going on. I'm not sure how much money they did spend on it, but doesn't have to be that much, it's probably going to pay out, and I don't think it's that bit of a quantity. On the other hand, I agree, they should spend more money investing in new artists.. but that's a different matter all together. -------------------- - Ivan's Video Chat Lesson Notes HERE

Yeah, REM is really an awesome and unique band, some great songs were made during 90ties, timeless songs.

When I picked up the mandolin back in 2003, I learned 'Losing my religion' and it felt incredibly good to be able to play that song.. It has something very special to it...
