    Love them. Tim has to be my favorite album but I'd like to put in an honorable mention for Don't tell a soul. "Talent Show", "Achin to be" and "I'll be you" are great songs. Love the black diamond cover on let it be as well. I listen to their records on a regular basis including pauls solo stuff...14 songs and eventually mostly.

    my ranking would go:

    Tim
    Don't tell a Soul
    Let it be
    Pleased to meet me
    All shook down

    Don't Tell A Soul rocks. Definitely an album not to be overlooked.

  • Are there any Mats bootleg collectors here? Ive been downloading every show I find posted on Dime for a few years and the other year after the reissues came out I put together all the studio unreleased stuff that didnt make the the reissues but once I finished that I decided I wanted to do a live covers collection. I know Im missing alot of Replacements shows but I have started piecing it together again. No idea how long it will take to finish this but if anyone else has shows maybe I can get a copy of anything I dont have.

    Unfortunately, I do not have any Mats bootlegs, haven't really done much of a search for them honestly. However, if you're interested in sharing what you have ... that'd be cool. :)

    the annual "maybe". more importantly, we're getting a new mats ep soon. and there's a new paul song for free. and the interview is great.
  • If Paul and Tommy tour i'll be there but if it never happens i won't be disappointed. Paul has been pretty clear for years he doesn't want to, so he never gave us fans hope so he isn't really letting anyone down.

    Heard the new song the other week and its pretty good, right in line with the stuff off of Ghost Gloves... which i thought was a great little EP.

    They played my college once. Word got back to the head concert organizer guy that a couple nights earlier Bob Stinson was so drunk he'd come out for the encore with nothing on but his guitar. For some reason that really freaked the organizer guy out, and when the band got there he had something like 20 take out coffees delivered to their dressing room (I guess we didn't have a coffee machine in our auditorium??).

    When someone explained to the band why they'd gotten the coffee, they were rather annoyed. I now know what a room looks like after 20 cups of coffee are thrown against the walls. But no one came out nude... and they absolutely rocked!
  • Been listening to these guys a lot lately....can't believe it took so long for me to discover their greatness. They fucking rock.

    Yes! I well remember the night I was watching SNL (hosted that night by the great Harry Dean Stanton!) and some band called the Replacements whom I'd never heard of was on and played a couple of songs that woke me right up! Despite that the behavior of those boys basically got them banned from SNL (though Paul Westerberg did appear a few more times), those performance still hold up great for me. Here's one of the numbers (and if anyone can find a vid with better resolution, please post it):

    Been a big fan ever since!

    I just recently really discovered this band thanks to the PJ forum I heard alot of hype about them on here so I thought I'de finally give them a try. I always ment to listen to them because I absolutely loved Paul's songs on the singles soundtrack! But anyway there a great band :)

    From my FB feed:
    May be an image of 2 people and text that says How Fleetwood Mac Fired Lindsey Buckingham MUSICIAN 295US 150 Replacements The 12 FEBRUARY 1989 The Last Best Band of the 80s um BOULDER
    "The last, best band of the '80s.”
    A few months after this Replacements cover ran, Jon Bon Jovi went out of his way to slag the ‘Mats in an interview with Musician. “‘The Last Great [sic] Band of the ‘80s’” he scoffed, “Yeah, right. I never heard of these guys, but I guess you’re an artist if you’re on the cover of Musician magazine.”
    Asked to respond to Bon Jovi’s comments, Paul Westerberg couldn’t resist jabbing him: “How many critical raves has he had? Sure, I might trade bank accounts, but I wouldn't want [his] pants."

    Spoken like a true mainstream mayonnaise rock star.

    By the way, if you never had the chance to check out this magazine, it was one of the best music magazines ever.  I wish I had kept all of the ones I had (which were quite a few).  At least I did clip some articles and I think I may still have the 'Mats article in the issue above.
