Gerald Frieberg this comment makes me think of an interview I read years ago, some hair-metal guy was asked some question, wish I could remember what prompted his response lol, but he went off on some tangent about how Pete Townshend couldn’t play “lead guitar”, and that he was probably jealous of hair metal guys like Steve Vai, for one example. Right, I’m sure when Pete Townshend thinks back on his career, he feels inadequate because he’s not as “good” as fucking Eddie Van Halen. And EVH is a GREAT guitarist, love VH, but they weren’t one of those bands who recorded a lot, and left songs in the “vault”. Their album sides are shorter than any contemporaneous band. Album sides NORMALLY clocked in at anywhere from 15-20 minutes per side. Van Halen sides regularly come in at under 14, or even 13, minutes. My point is, as great as Vh is, they struggled to write good songs. Look at all their covers for cryin’ out loud... It’s hard to write good songs. Anyway, Can you imagine that Pete Townshend tortures himself over not being able to “shred” (I’d be willing to bet he could if he wanted). I’ll bet he’d gladly give back ‘Tommy’ if he could be Joe Satriani. Sound logical? The Replacements have a shitload of great songs. Give me that over some dickhead trying to be Yngwie Malmsteen every day and twice on Sunday. 😎

I was blown away by the energy but it was the songs that won me over.. Anyone who thinks less of this band for the technical way they played has no taste.. And doesn't know well the songs are crafted.. Absolutely great songs wrapped in deceptively crafty melodic packages.. The world is a better place because these brilliant deviants were in it..

Even in the mid 80's when they started receiving notoriety they knew there was just so far they could go because they were never gonna be what the music industry wanted them to be....... Ultimately selling out to make as much garbage music for the labels as they could. Westerberg was very open and honest about this.....in an interview he said, ".... when I'm alone in a hotel room ripping my heart out cause I sold out to the music labels, they're not gonna be there to hold my hand....." paraphrasing

I was dumbfounded and didn't say a word! I did my biz, washed my hands, and took as long as I could while they just talked and joked around. Unbelievable. Needless to say, was a fantastic set. Later saw Paul Westerberg outside of Atlanta in the mid 90s; he did lots of placemat songs as well as his solo work; just unbelievable. Where are guys like Paul nowadays? I miss this music!

People just don’t know. It’s not their fault. Not for anything, but the ‘Mats basically went out of their way to hide from success. There’s a reason there’s so little footage from their early days. When they’d allow it, they’d sabotage it. Personally, I kind of like the relative anonymity of the replacements. It’s like a little tribe and I have a secret to to spread to people we trust will get it. I wasn’t there for the early days, but from what I’ve heard and read, this is how the boys wanted it. Go read Trouble Boys, if you haven’t yet.

Interesting to see this, and thank you for sharing it here. Still, it is hard to work up much enthusiasm for latter-day Replacements. They were one of those bands where you needed every specific member to make the chemistry that made them what they were. I only saw the original band once live, in 1986 in Cincinnati. One of the best shows I saw in my college years. After Bob Stinson got kicked out (I think that happened around early 1987), they just were not the same. They had lost the magic, and it never really returned. Westerberg still wrote good songs, but the hard-to-define quality that captivated people was gone. (But I still come around, hoping for evidence to prove myself wrong.) I wish the survivors well, and hope Tommy and Paul made decent money with their reunion.

Bogarts? I was there too. Seem to recall I was expecting drunk AF Mats, but they were stone sober, great show, remember it like yesterday...

I saw them 5 times in the Bob years and I agree with everything you've written here.

I had tickets to the show in Columbus, OH. They postponed and soon after Paul pulled the plug. I did get to see them open for X at the Syria Mosque in Pittsburgh in the mid 80's though.

I saw the Mats headline in the basement of the Syria Mosque in 1989
