The Replacements Former Drummer Chris Mars On Owning Your Vision

The Sex Pistols opened his eyes to a new type of music as a kid bagging groceries in the super market. After 4 years as the drummer of The Replacements, he felt pulled towards what he really wanted to do: paint.

Just brilliant to see chris Mars art animated, was already so excellent but this is next level now.

A lot of people don’t realize a rock and roll band is mostly it’s rhythm section, drums and bass (occasionally it’s the interplay of guitar and bass but that’s another issue). The Replacements sounded like they did because of how great tommy and chris sounded together. Put on top of a great rythm section bobs unorthodox leads and Paul’s amazing songwriting and you get a great band.

Interplay of guitar and drums* not guitar and bass, I’m not able to edit my comment

I love the art style of Chris Mars! I am currently enjoying his art book called Tolerance.

CHRIS MARS is a genius! Additionally, Reverse Status is one of the best rock songs everrrrr!

Rocking the Bob Ross hair! I’m starting to think that’s the secret to being a great painter!

Chris call Paul and Tommy! One more tour please! You can do your art on the bus!

[@zkxe-mr6vy]

Paul can change the lyrics to - "painting on the bus...."

Damn, Chris is a great artist! And his solo albums were good, too. The Mats were loaded with talent.

He interviews very well, compared to Tommy and Paul, erudite and insightful.
