Jeez.  It is REALLY the Replacements if it's just two of them? 

of course not.


I been waiting to see Westerberg for years… I couldn't care less if he goes by "The Replacements" or "The Shit stains"

really after Bob Stinson it arguably wasn't the Mats anyways..

Did you ever see Bob Stinson play guitar in the Replacements? I am guessing you hadn't or you wouldn't be making a big deal about it not being the Replacements without him. 

let me guess..he was drunk and shambolic…

gee, thats not what I would have thought of the replacements… i mean when i listen to their early records or live boots they sound like a precise metronomic machine of rock..

Yawn.

i see..1981…yes well is that it? replacements 1981 are legit but after that its not?

are we even disagreeing here? anyways gotta run

The 'Mats were notoriously hit and miss. But people forget that when they were on, they were a really fun and great live band.

I saw the 'mats open for x 83/84 and hung out with bob afterwards, nice chatty guy, even bought a I will dare 12" from tommy

As a 13 year old this is the song that made me think the Replacements were right up my alley:

And also from Stink, this song hinted at their future greatness:

Stink, imo, is a horribly under appreciated record, and "Go" is easily in my top 3 or 4 songs by them.

I wish we could embed youtube videos on this board.

really, B?  you came to that conclusion, once you figured out that in a crowd of 50,000 people you're going to find some nozzles?  do you go for the music, or to interview hipsters? ;D

Stink is great fun. From the humor in the title to the humor in songs like "Fuck School" and "I Need a Goddamn Job" along with some of the more serious songs. It sort of paints them in this period as a crass suburban Ramones.

Songs were unrecognizable so why would you want that?  And Let it Be on album sounds pretty good.  I dont' know how many songs he played on that album.  I think on "I will dare" it was peter buck.

I think what turned me off is when people started saying they didn't go for the music, they went for the "experience".

I would try to catch these artists if I was to go (if I got an unexpected promotion at work with a big bonus or won a trip to the fest):

Broken Bells, Bryan Ferry, the Afghan Whigs, the Cult, GOAT, Dum Dum Girls, Wye Oak, Crosses, MGMT, Mogwai, Warpaint, Future Islands, White Lies, Blood Orange, Beck, Neutral Milk Hotel, Fishbone, AlunaGeorge, Superchunk, Daughter, Surfer Blood, Aeroplane, Ratking

Wow, that list was a lot shorter than I thought it would be.

I think I heard one of their songs, once.

That looks exactly like one of my cats!

I know bands can seem like Pokemon, but you cant catch them all!

Here is my retort.

Just a heads up for fans of The Replacements -

they've stated that this is their only US show. if I can find the link for the article i'll post it.

I wonder if this will be the tour: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QEFRoiwdh4M

they can do anything . . . and i will go.  anything.  with them, if they are even in america, you go, because it might be the only time in your life to see them, in america.

While I'm not as enthusiastic as Walkie, a NYC/DC/Philly The Knife spectacle would get me in attendance.

I am really excited!  My girlfriend and I grabbed tickets during the presale after last years Coachella.  I realized this week that I will be celebrating my 10 year reunion from my first Coachella in 2004.  I am hoping it won't be as hot as it was in 04.  We booked our flight and place to stay on Tuesday, so its been an exciting week.

Had a ticket to see the Mats at the old 930 - with Bob - but f'g Paul broke his wrist or hand stagediving in NYC a couple days earlier and they cancelled the rest of their tour.  That would have been their last show in the area with the original line up.

Caught them at the Bayou next time around - with Slim - and they were great.  Drunk, but great.  Its was only when Chris Mars left the band that the shows lost their edge.
