I thought this part was funny...maybe this is why Gnr can't play Saturday Night Live...:beer:

"The Replacements were never a huge success, but today are considered one of rock’s most influential acts, known for their heavily inebriated performances and a punk-pop sound with earnest (sometimes painfully earnest) lyrics. Without The Replacements, there is no Nirvana. But the band never quite reached its potential, a fact often attributed to their inability to stay (or play) sober. The Replacements were banned from Saturday Night Live after playing the show drunk and screaming profanity at the audience.

Oh yeah, Bob was a hardcore abuser, alcohol and drugs. He died because his hard living just fried his body. Like Steven Adler, Bob was kicked out because alcoholism had eroded his skills.
