The Replacements interview on 120 Minutes 1991

[@monkeytrousers]

My right ear loved this interview.

[@emchicken7285]

Crying!

[@darronnelson953]

🤣🤣🤣

[@Itsa6stringthang]

It's twin brother feels "left" out...

[@jbenzaia]

God I saw this tour when they played Rutgers College in NJ. There was a few thousand people there and the Replacements kicked ass that night. So glad i had a chance to see them live.

[@chrismccord1841]

Do you remember who opened? Goo Goo Dolls? Paw? Connells?

[@jbenzaia]

@@chrismccord1841 i was late as usual and missed the opening act. It was a fantastic show though seemed halfway sober. Songs were really tight

[@jackjustice4426]

I saw them twice on this tour. The Goo Goo Dolls opened at the 1st (Cincinnati), the Cavedogs opened at the 2nd (Louisville).

[@bvaughan3862]

I love these boys SO MUCH.

[@VanielDeeform]

That last record All Shook Down is underrated. They are likeable guys and an amazing band.

[@swivle6989]

I don’t think it’s underrated. It might be a little overrated. It’s a great album, just a less gritty sound than their previous albums which I personally liked more.

[@2kewl4skewlz]

They are like alternate-universe version of the Sex Pistols. Destroy everything but because they are from the midwest, can't help but be polite and genuine in interview.

[@jamiegustkey2573]

I remember watching this when it first aired- I had it recorded as well... We'd always play the beginning when Kendall says "stomp" and they both laugh and Paul repeats it... So good... 😂

[@mynaturewellness]

Me too. I recorded it on VHS and must have watched this 1000 times. STOMP lol. We would laugh at that too.

[@mikewilson3581]

Reminds me of the final days of Big Star. Down to Alex Chilton and Jody Stephens for original members.

[@krisscanlon4051]

Yeah never thought of that...wowzer similar

[@DrawtheCurtains]

Watching this interview after watching some of the early-mid '80s interviews, it's like looking at a completely different band. They really grew up a lot in 7-8 years.

[@void0094]

pure right ear relaxation

[@mikezebike]

Fuckin' legends these two.

[@brianwilliams9462]

Sad to watch this as in it was obvious it was over at this point

[@hailmaryrecordings8255]

I saw them at a place in Iowa that tour. They were selling t-shirts that read “Welcome funeral directors” .. I wore it for years. Awful crowd. Someone threw a bottle at slim - they quit early.

[@highwaymaintainer]

never really started to be honest

“To tell him what to do...is spooky” -Paul Westerberg, on John Cale

[@achintobe5410]

Broke up not long after this

[@StellasEncounter]

I never saw this vid before! Thanks for sharing!!!

[@cloudbullets]

By this point, The ‘Mats had grown up and most of the original members were gone: Chris Mars left and became a painter, Bob Stinson died some years before this. What’s sad is that they finally reached some clarity, but it came at a cost. Some will say this was when The ‘Mats were more mature, I’d argue they were more laid back by this point, Paul Westerberg’s songwriting was always mature, though no one was really listening.

[@philliplandry4139]

Not really, Bob passed away 3 1/2 years later during this interview.

[@cloudbullets]

@@philliplandry4139 thank you for the clarification!

[@philliplandry4139]

@@cloudbullets You're welcome. 😌

[@DfactorPop]

Just offscreen was Darren Hill, pointing a finger and saying "don't mess this up!" :-)

[@dskywalker3397]

Fall of 88. Portland, OR. Smaller venue. Amazing environment: a party. Plenty of stage dives!

[@stevemandl5140]

got this and some other replacement stuff on a bootleg dvd of replacement stuff

[@brianwood7237]

Just remembering what a tool Dave Kendall was makes this all the more special

[@dawnbaker1970]

Yeah, that was some rude interrogation.

[@pje8462]

I saw this tour (amazing!) and when they opened up for Tom Petty (hilarious disaster). I also saw them in Queens in 2014 (I think that was the year).

[@machbaby]

They look deflated, trying to put on a face. I think they both knew this album was their last.

[@LSUOdyssey]

this has 120 likes...should i leave it that way?

[@CurlysCurated]

Never noticed how much Paul looks and sounds like Thomas Jane.

[@mainmate]

Stomp! hahah 😂

[@charold3]

Sober Paul! Of course, band broke up later in ‘91, missed badly ever since.

[@pb12661]

I'm going to take a wild guess and say I'll bet he's had a drink or two since this interview.

[@hailmaryrecordings8255]

Does anyone know the air-date on this?

[@indiemusicstuff4287]

I don’t know the exact date, sorry. But maybe someone does.

[@hailmaryrecordings8255]

@@indiemusicstuff4287 That’s OK. Thanks for posting it in the first place. They’re my favorite American band

[@christophervaldez8746]

Probably Jan or Feb of 1991....

[@user-qr7ee2cp4y]

120 minutes, headbangers ball, liquid tv, story tellers, yo MTV raps, mtv is such a joke now.

[@roffew.1065]

Hilarious. As always

[@indiemusicstuff4287]

Definitely!

[@myessyallyahamericus8405]

I know this original interview by heart. This isn't close to it at all. I hate this version

[@PS987654321PS]

I maintain that The Replacements were the worst managed band in the history of Rock music. The sheer talent of this band was astonishing. What a wasted opportunity.

[@glasspickle3922]

Tommy has crazy Mac DeMarco vibes. Or I suppose vice versa ;)

[@PS987654321PS]

Whatever, fool.

[@taylorking4864]

You comparing in any regard Mac demarco to tommy Stinson is embarrassing

[@mineralt]

Anyone know how much $ Tommy make in GnR? Was it life a life changing amount?

[@allsystemsgo8678]

He was there for about 15 years. I would think he made at least 100,000 grand a year

[@smkxodnwbwkdns8369]

A lot more than the replacements
