Mike Mills is absolutely brilliant. A musical genius when it comes to his contribution to R.E.M.

He’s the cutest though.

he's a multi-instrumentalist that sings and has a lot of writing credits to his name.

Dime a dozen. Stirrat is the only other one who’s been with Jeff since the beginning, and his playing is often sublime

I don't think that's true. He's the last to add anything to the music, but I can't imagine them with any other singer save for Mike Patton (which I think your pointed out a while back?).

I would characterize him as more divisive than weak.

i agree with all of this. it's not to say he's bad. it's just relative to the other band members, he's probably the most expendable.

REM isn't anything without Stipe obviously, or Peter Buck. And I think that Bill Berry was the glue for the band judging by it's output after he left.

By the way, my friend hooked up with Mike Mills when they played Rome in 1995.

D'arcy Wretzky was an obvious one. Although in hindsight when she was on, she was probably better than MadM and Ginger. Take the Eurockéennes 04-07-1997 (Belfort, France) performance for example -- her playing is super punchy and tight throughout. Paz and Nicole are definitely better bass players and vocalists, though.

Yeah good luck lol. Trent doesn't seem to believe in weak links.

yeah, Darcy is a good example, although i always loved how she played in SP. Paz and Melissa are better musicians for sure.

Paz and Nicole, absolutely. Not really sure about Melissa. Her backing vocals were amazing in Hole, but her bass playing was always very average IMO. I guess she gets points for writing two solo albums? Her live vocals were disastrous while touring them, though.

yeah, the albums are cool. Im not saying she is the greatest but she seem like a better musician than Darcy.

Why do you like Nicole so much?


Great we turn this thread into a SP one.

Great we turn this thread into a SP one.

She actually wrote the basslines on Oceania. I don't think Billy has ever allowed that to happen, aside from maybe with Paz in Zwan. And they're great basslines! Also her backing vocals are a step up from the others (excluding Paz, who is basically a goddess without equal).
