Great video. I always thought that Mike Mills was REM's secret weapon. Not just his melodic and inventive playing, also the backing vocals raised REM to a higher level.
Thank you. My wait was worth it! Mike has to be one of my favourite bassists. These lines are really well thought. Also one thing to add to this video, is hes ability to provide backup vocals. Terrific singer in my book, plus he can do leads. Texarkana and Dont Go Back To Rockville (live) were sung by Mike
Fables Of The Reconstruction is one of my favorite albums without question. Recently I've grown to enjoy the Chronic Town E.P. as well. Wolves, Lower sounds so different from anything else in 1982. And I'm surprised there isn't a Mike Mill's signature P-Bass on the market.
Another fantastic episode Paul. Mike Mills is such a melodic player and key part to REM's sound. In many ways, his and Peter Buck's roles are the opposite of U2's The Edge and Adam Clayton. Both great bands and big influences. And such an eclectic mix of songs chosen to demonstrate his style. Thanks. I know this is a long shot, but I would love to see a Bass Habits on Michael Been of The Call. His fretless bass playing was quite unique and was a huge influence on me as well. And it will give you a chance to break out that fretless Yamaha and show off your fretless skills. 😄 Please and thank you.
I’ve always enjoyed the melodic and rhythm quality off Mills bass lines, but I really appreciate your analysis of of how he works within the strengths of the other members of the group. Thanks for doing REM. One of my favorite groups. Keep up your outstanding work. It has helped appreciate so many more aspects of music.
I'll forever be thankful for this series, it teaches so much and opens my ears to things I never noticed before! While not as well known as his contemporaries I'd love to see you do an episode on Dan Andriano of Alkaline Trio, The Falcon, Tuesday and Slapstick. He's an extremely underrated bass player and overall musician! Thanks you so very much for this Paul, keep on rocking! 🤘
These guys were the model for indie music. In my younger days we tried to copy the big US rock bands. Wasted our time and money. Look what R.E.M did with so little and plenty of space and clarity.

Wish he did more backing vocals than he did. All the songs he was signing on he was great
Yes! Often when he was singing backups, there'd be two counter melodies. One being the bass line, and the second being the backup vocal line.
Yes yes yes! His voice is so ethereal.
Are you Eddie Vedder?
Very underrated bassist and one of my all time favorites. He also sang harmonies and played most of the keyboard instruments on their records
Always loved the opening to "Drive", just letting those notes hang for ages.
their best song imo

Superman from Life's Rich Pageant and Near Wild Heaven from Our Of Time also feature Mike on vocals.

The bass line of Carnival of Sorts is killer. Really fun to play. No idea how he sings while playing though. Makes it look so easy.
Not just a great bassist; he and Mike Stipe are one of my favorite harmonizing duos.
Wonderful bass player and musician. This is the first video I've seen that does him justice.
A very underrated bassist who plays for the song. Thank you for this.
Such great bass lines...thanks for sharing. The "Texarkana" bass line is just incredible!

I’m kinda scared, whenever I’m obsessed with a bassist from a band, you make a video about it, I started getting obsessed with REM like two weeks ago
Great appreciation of Mills' work. Bass players rule thru subtleties... affecting the tunes.
I think Mills regularly played a Rickenbacker 4001 before "succumbing to the temptations" of the ever-reliable Fender Precision.
Played a Jazz for a bit too

Can you please do Matt Sharp, formerly of Weezer and The Rentals? His bass playing really evolved from Blue to Pinkerton.
Great video. Mike is my favorite musician. I love the tone he had in the early days.
the Mills box is one of Mccartney's boxes too.
Buck says that Mills is great at playing non chord tones too.
He does it all!
Thanks Paul you’re a mountain of sanity in this Mad World!
Your breakdown & explanation is FANTASTIC! Thank You!
YAY - all the relentless badgering of Paul I've been doing (by politely commenting on a couple of videos) finally paid off!
Nice Job
Excellent introduction to Mike Mills. I need to start playing my cheap bass😇
It's a Glarry 5 string.
My favorite album is Monster.

such a great series. Thanks Paul!
Great tips, inspiring material for developing bassists! Glad to be a new subscriber! :) MU
i love ur viedeos bro! gratcie!
Great video.
Hey Man Can You Please Do Paul Ryder From The Happy Mondays A Very Underated Bass Player 😎👌🙏✌️👍
Great video, but the musical example volumes are all over the place. I had to keep adjusting the volume on my pc.
can you play right next door the hell on bass with tablature please

Mills is a good bassist, still waiting on a bass habits video of Jerry only of the Misfits.
My fav is The One I love
I’ve watched this video 6 times and I can’t play like Mike Mills yet
He sounded best when playing the Rick
So yeah, what about Alex Webster?
Первый!)
Я егор
??????? ?
Another mediocre bassist. We need a "How to play like Sid Vicious" 😁
