more from Westerberg...this may actually happen. Funny guy with some phobias like Axl.
Re: The Tommy Stinson Thread
During the ’80s, The Replacements exemplified anti-mainstream music. Now, you play in Guns N’ Roses, one of the most popular bands from that period. Was that a strange transition, mentally?
Ya know, they’re totally different things, but they’re both totally the same in a lot of ways, in that its rock ’n’ roll. It’s what I’ve always done. Axl is about as anti-corporate-rock as anyone I know, Paul [Westerberg] included. It just so happens that their model of anti-corporate-rock got through and people liked it. People bought it. I can’t speak for the whole band, but I can speak for me getting down with Axl, and he comes from the same place as all of us.

good article from yesterday....he is an honest, funny dude....
TIME: I understand you’re in the Middle East?
Tommy Stinson: Yeah, Abu Dhabi.
What are you doing there?
I have no f—ing clue. We have a show here.
It’s hard to imagine Guns N’ Roses in Abu Dhabi. How are you received there?
Surprisingly well, actually. We played here five years ago and we did good. We played in front of something like 35,000 people. It was part of the F1 series that was going. We do good. It’s weird. Every time I think we’re going to the weirdest place possible, we end up going somewhere even weirder. We’re going to Beirut. There’s a civil war happening, I think. Our gig is already hotly protested. I’m looking forward to it not really at all.
Re: The Tommy Stinson Thread
The Replacements are back...well at least 2 of the original 4...Tommy and Paul....

Re: The Tommy Stinson Thread
Thanks for post this dude. Guess GNR might be having a little downtime. Hopefully it is put to good use. Interested to see who fills in the other spots in the band. I like a few Replacement songs, should really dig deeper into their material. I think they will end up playing a few more gigs. Wonder how much is "silly money" on the Coachella festival offer.

Re: The Tommy Stinson Thread
Tommy could easily split time between GNR and the Mats but it`s not worth since Axl has no intention of making music, Tommy should stick with the Mats.
