p.s. Even the announcement for Washington, D.C. fits right in!

Aha... just like Metallica... except they played in New York City, whereas in Washington, D.C.—well, we all know how that goes! 😁

Oh, how I would absolutely love for them to visit us, but isn't there a certain thrill in being so skeptical and delightfully wicked toward our local music promoters? 😁 😁

Man, I’d love for them to show up, but I feel like such a jerk being this skeptical and totally hating on Uncle Note-Kaida-Bina-Crnarić-Impresarija! 😁 😁

I mean, for sure his forum lawyer—that user elena2404—is gonna jump in to defend him. She honestly thinks he’s as clean as a whistle after a heavy-duty wash with Ariel Color, but she clearly has no clue that Mr. Muscle is actually the one doing the dirty work.😁 ...oh, and by the way, those product shout-outs aren't sponsored or anything... just saying.

I'm swapping my Metallica ticket for an R. E. M. one.
It’s still sitting here with me...

I really hope you don't end up having to trade in those R. E. M. tickets for something else... though honestly, anything can happen here. It’s pretty depressing how few people actually show up for stuff like this. Sure, money is tight, blah blah, but people will always find a way to support Skor—they'll even go out and buy the original CDs 🙂
It would be absolutely legendary if R. E. M. actually came through. Any idea when the new album hits the shelves?
Regarding those comparisons, I have to say I saw the Peppers in New York City earlier this year and the energy was just insane, totally indescribable. At the end of the day, it's all about personal taste, but R. E. M. concerts tend to be a bit more chill... plus, the crowd is usually a little older 🙂

suno said:Did anyone catch that radio announcement today between 1 PM and 2 PM? They were teasing R. E. M.'s upcoming tour here in the States, mentioning tickets go on sale September 8th, but they didn't say where or when...
Is this some kind of new marketing gimmick?😕 😕 😕 😕

Man, there was all this endless chatter about who was actually showing up, and then—nothing. Either it’s a last-minute cancellation or just total chaos... honestly, after all the noise, I doubt anyone would even bother coming here anymore.🙄
I really hope I'm being too pessimistic.
If they actually confirm, I'm definitely hitting up R. E. M.—maybe in Ljubljana or wherever else they land. I just hope tickets don't hit that ridiculous $400+ mark... I don't know if I'd drop that kind of cash. Something around $200$83 would be fine—hopefully, that's not me being way too optimistic...

Losing My Religion Lyrics - Out of Time Album

Life is bigger
It's bigger than you
And you are not me
The lengths that I will go to
The distance in your eyes
Oh no I've said too much
I set it up

That's me in the corner
That's me in the spotlight
Losing my religion
Trying to keep up with you
And I don't know if I can do it
Oh no I've said too much
I haven't said enough
I thought that I heard you laughing
I thought that I heard you sing
I think I thought I saw you try

Every whisper
Of every waking hour I'm
Choosing my confessions
Trying to keep an eye on you
Like a hurt lost and blinded fool
Oh no I've said too much
I set it up

Consider this
The hint of the century
Consider this
The slip that brought me
To my knees failed
What if all these fantasies
Come flailing around
Now I've said too much
I thought that I heard you laughing
I thought that I heard you sing
I think I thought I saw you try

But that was just a dream
That was just a dream

Man, even when things are quiet here in Washington, D.C.... while my brain is busy grinding through a thousand different thoughts, hearing this stuff just makes everything else go to hell—in a good way—and leaves me totally chill for a few minutes.

And honestly? Those damn Red Hot Chili Peppers... they aren't even in the same league as this. Not even close.

The press conference is happening today in NYC, where they’ll finally drop the date for the Washington, D.C. show...
January 19, at Dom Sportova ($100)

So, Crnarić honestly thinks he can pitch Metallica as a substitute for R. E. M.... except he really should have mentioned $117 since Metallica was priced at 330 plus those interest rates he kept bringing up...

It’s obvious why the agencies aren't looking to sue him—throwing him in jail doesn't net them anything. They just want the cash he owes them, and if they actually went through with a lawsuit, they’d likely never see a dime. Instead, they’re handing him this lifeline, hoping he can pay off most of his debts using R. E. M. But what happens to the regular people who are actually excited about these shows? Will the concerts even happen? Honestly, the idiots running these major agencies couldn't care less about anyone else.
All they care about is MONEY—Crnarić included. Sad.

Fine.
Regardless, I believe this thread is intended to discuss R. E. M. and their upcoming concert 😁.

It’s a stroke of luck that R.E.M. is talented enough to make me forget all the nonsense I had to deal with just to experience something beautiful...

That’s fine—but it doesn't stop anyone from wondering if the show will even happen at all, or who ends up stuck footing the bill for the artist's deposit if it falls through...

However, I still maintain that the primary focus of this specific thread should remain centered on R. E. M. and their upcoming concert 😁.

And why don't you take a break from handing out judgments? After all, who exactly gets to decide what anyone is allowed to write about on this forum?
(I only just had the chance to read my private messages today. Honestly, it's quite unbelievable 😲!)

(Just saw your DM today. Absolutely 😲 )

Who was defending whom here??????
And what’s so "unbelievable" about my message? I politely asked you to stop bringing up things you clearly don't understand the basics of.
Now get lost, please. 👋

No, honestly, I really don't care about a truce; I simply have no desire to argue!
I know, and believe me, far more than you could possibly imagine!

Well, optimism regarding the concert actually going ahead is growing...
Hey Sandra Wright42, is that a nickname from the Binaural era?
