THE REPLACEMENTS

 

 

From Minneapolis, Minnesota.  Led by Paul Westerberg (vocals/guitar) with Tommy Stinson (guitars), Chris Mars (drums) and Slim Dunlap (bass).  The "Mats" (short for place mats, as their fans called them), were the great unsung American rock band of the 80's.  If there were no R.E.M., then The Replacements would have been America's foremost alternative rock band.  Fast and sloppy, their legendary off-the-cuff live performances could be outstanding or dismal depending on which night you saw them on and how much they were drinking.  Inconsistencies in the band led to the firing of original bassist Bob Stinson (Tommy's brother) in 1986. Sadly he died of alcoholism in 1995.  All members of the band have gone on to solo careers.  Tommy Stinson formed the groups Bash & Pop and Perfect and is now a member of the reformed Guns & Roses.  Stinson however says that Axl Rose is much easier to work with than Westerberg was!  Stinson, Mars and Westerberg reunited to create two new Mats songs for a 2006 retrospective cd.  1981-90.
