As another posted. Lead singer of REM and they are far from arrogant. Been around long enough that he has proven himself to be a great talent and can say whatever he wants.
I am sure this was said either sarcasticly or with a laugh of unbelief. REM is an "international phenomenon" like them or not they have been around for decades and have more than established that, they have proven it.
OMG, I feel ancient. People really don't know REM? I think this quote is also taken out of context. REM was never the "full of themselves" kind. It would hurt my heart if that was real
Danastev. He is the lead singer for one the very first alternative rock bands called R.E.M. They are from Athens Ga., also the home state of some other very cool and very original bands (very unlike today), like the b-52's. Please learn about the history of music people because these artists are the ones who are music sampled by all of these no-talent wannabe "musicians" these days.
One of the most overrated, much ado about nothing groups ever. Listen to the music and the lyrics. There is nothing there. This guy sucks. Alternative, progressive rock???? This is middle of the road rock at its worst because of the pretention factor.

Lead singer of REM. And I'm quite sure he's being sarcastic. They aren't ego-maniacs.

R.E.M. have been around for ~30 years -- Stipe is probably being sarcastic when he said this, but they are superstars

He's the queer singer for REM. For those who don't know.

He is a gay and has AIDS, that's a phenomenon if I've ever heard of one.

Actually when this was stated this would have been an understatement! and 20+ years later I still think they ROCK!
