Platinum Al had this high praise for Stipe. “Where this band succeeds is in the accuracy of the sound … the lead singer looks the part, his voice is a fairly uncanny likeness of Michael Stipe’s …the other musicians also create a brilliant rendition of the songs, fully convincing and delivered with confidence.” And finally – this is what the lead singer of R.E.M said about Stipe.
