Re: Replacements Reissues
Hey, you like what you like and I am not trying to convince you to like them. The lyrics aren't anything special in this song, but they describe kids of the 80's pretty spot on....we had no wars to fight, we weren't the baby boomers, we were just kind of lost. We were just "income tax deductions" for our baby boomer parents. The video is perfect example of what the Mats were about and how anti mtv and stuff they were. Just a speaker and at the end the kid bashes it.:haha:
this video shows you how they became much more poppy after Bob left. They were trying to make it on the pop charts at this point (1990)

They tried to use the same video for the 2nd single but the label rejected it 
In fact I'm sure I have 3 versions of the video, Bastards of Young, Left Of The Dial and possibly Hold My Life.
Re: Replacements Reissues
Although I like the album Please To Meet Me best, Bastards of Young and Left of the Dial are probably their two best songs. Any Gnr fan who is interested in the band should first listen to those two songs and go from there. The Best of the Replacements is a very good compilation that will show you how they changed throughout their career.
I really wish while Tommy is sitting on his ass waiting on Chinese takeout that The Replacements would put together a small tour to promote their reissues and Best Of album.

Re: Replacements Reissues
UPDATE - 23rd February 2008
The Replacements' first three albums and an EP will be reissued in remastered, expanded form this spring, completing a long awaited upgrade of the seminal band's early work. "Sorry Ma, Forgot To Take Out the Trash," "Stink," "Hootenanny" and "Let It Be" will arrive April 22 via Rhino, Billboard.com can reveal.
Originally released on the band's hometown label, Twin/Tone, the albums were prepped for reissue by Replacements manager Peter Jesperson, with involvement from the surviving band members.
Here is the bonus material for the Replacements reissues (previously unissued tracks marked with *):
"Sorry Ma, Forgot To Take Out the Trash":
# "Raised in the City," live, 1980 - demo*
# "Shutup," live, 1980 - demo*
# "Don't Turn Me Down," live, 1980 - demo*
# "Shape Up," live, 1980 - demo*
# "You Ain't Gotta Dance," studio demo*
# "Get on the Stick," studio demo*
# "Oh Baby," studio demo*
# "Like You," outtake*
# "Get Lost," outtake*
# "A Toe Needs a Shoe," outtake*
# "Customer," alternate take*
# "Basement Jam," rehearsal*
# "If Only You Were Lonely"
"Stink":
# "Staples in Her Stomach," outtake*
# "Hey, Good Lookin'," outtake*
# "(We're Gonna) Rock Around the Clock," outtake*
# "You're Getting Married," solo home demo*
"Hootenanny":
# "Lookin' for Ya"
# "Junior's Got a Gun," outtake - rough mix*
# "Ain't No Crime," outtake*
# "Johnny Fast," outtake - rough mix*

# "Bad Worker," solo home demo*
"Let It Be":
# "20th Century Boy"

# "Temptation Eyes," outtake*
# "Answering Machine," solo home demo*
# "Heartbeat -- It's a Lovebeat," outtake - rough mix*
# "Sixteen Blue," outtake - alternate vocal*
The Sire reissues are coming out in October, no details on the bonus material yet, but based on this list, I'd say the Sire bonus material will be Kick. Ass. Can you ask for more than an 'official' Mats recording of "Heartbeat -- It's a Lovebeat"? No, you cannot.
