The Replacements are an American rock band formed in Minneapolis, Minnesota, in 1979, and are considered pioneers of alternative rock. The band was composed of the guitarist and vocalist Paul Westerberg, guitarist Bob Stinson, bass guitarist Tommy Stinson and drummer Chris Mars for most of its career. Following several critically acclaimed albums, including Let It Be and Tim, Bob Stinson left the band in 1986 and the band experienced several line-up changes; Slim Dunlap joined as lead guitarist and Steve Foley replaced Mars in 1990. Towards the end of the band's career, Westerberg exerted more control over the creative output. The group disbanded in 1991, with the members ultimately pursuing various projects. However, a reunion was announced on October 3, 2012.[1] The Replacements never experienced any significant commercial success, except for "I'll Be You" which hit number one on the Alt Rock Billboard listing, but they did influence a variety of alternative rock acts.

The Replacements' music was influenced by rock artists such as The Rolling Stones, Faces, Big Star, Slade, Badfinger, Lou Reed and The Beatles as well as punk rock bands such as The Ramones, Johnny Thunders, Dead Boys and The Clash. Unlike many of their underground contemporaries, the Replacements played "heart-on-the-sleeve"[2] rock songs that combined Westerberg's "raw-throated adolescent howl,"[3] with self-deprecating lyrics. The Replacements were a notoriously wayward live act, often performing under the influence of alcohol and playing (fragments of) covers instead of their own material.

History

Formation and early years (1978–1980)

The Replacements' history began in Minneapolis in 1978 when nineteen-year-old Bob Stinson gave his eleven-year-old brother Tommy Stinson a bass guitar to keep him off the streets.[4] That year Bob met Mars, a high school dropout. With Mars playing guitar and then switching to drums, the trio called themselves "Dogbreath" and began covering songs by Aerosmith, Ted Nugent and Yes[5] without a singer.[6] One day, as Westerberg, a janitor in U.S. Senator's David Durenberger's office,[7] was walking home from work, he heard a band playing in the Stinsons' house.[8] After being impressed by the band's performance, Westerberg regularly listened in after work. Mars knew Westerberg and invited him over to jam; Westerberg was unaware Mars drummed in Dogbreath.[5]

Dogbreath auditioned several vocalists, including a hippie who read lyrics off a sheet.[9] The band eventually found a vocalist; however, Westerberg wanted to be the singer and took him aside one day to say, "The band doesn't like you."[5] The vocalist soon left, and Westerberg replaced him.[5] Before Westerberg joined the band, Dogbreath often drank and took various drugs during rehearsals, playing songs as an afterthought.[4] In contrast to the rest of the band, the relatively disciplined Westerberg appeared at rehearsals in neat clothes and insisted on practicing songs until he was happy with them.[10]

After the band members discovered first-generation English punk bands like The Clash, The Jam, The Damned and The Buzzcocks, Dogbreath changed its name to The Impediments and played a drunken performance without Tommy Stinson at a church hall gig in June 1980.[11] After being banned from the venue for disorderly behaviour, they changed the name to the Replacements.[12] In an unpublished memoir, Mars later explained the band's choice of name: "Like maybe the main act doesn't show, and instead the crowd has to settle for an earful of us dirtbags. [...] It seemed to sit just right with us, accurately describing our collective 'secondary' social esteem".[10]

Demo tape and Twin/Tone Records (1980–1981)

The band soon recorded a four-song demo tape in Mars' basement,[13] and handed it to Peter Jesperson in May 1980. Jesperson was the manager of Oar Folkjokeopus, a punk rock record store in Minneapolis,[14] and had also founded Twin/Tone Records with a local recording engineer named Paul Stark. Westerberg originally handed in the tape to see if the band could perform at Jay's Longhorn Bar, a local venue where Jesperson disc jockeyed.[15] (The band's first performance at a bar, in fact, was at the Longhorn on July 2, 1980.)[16] He eavesdropped on Jesperson's office as Jesperson put in the tape, only to run away as soon as the first song, "Raised in the City", played.[10] Jesperson played the whole song through, again and again. "If I've ever had a magic moment in my life, it was popping that tape in," said Jesperson, "I didn't even get through the first song before I thought my head was going to explode".[17]

Jesperson called Westerberg the next day, asking, "So do you want to do a single or an album?"[11][15] With the agreement of Stark and the rest of the band, the Replacements signed to Twin/Tone Records in 1980.[18] Jesperson's support of the band was welcomed, and they asked him to be their manager after their second show. Later that summer, they did play at the Longhorn on a Wednesday "New Band Night" and the band played several club gigs to almost empty venues; when they finished a song, apart from the low hum of conversation, the band would hear Jesperson's loud whistle and fast clapping. "His enthusiasm kept us going at times, definitely," Mars later said. "His vision, his faith in the band was a binding force."[11]

After the Replacements signed to Twin/Tone, Westerberg began to write new songs, and soon had a whole album's worth of material. Mere weeks after their live debut, the band felt ready to record the album. Jesperson chose an eight-track home studio in Minneapolis called Blackberry Way; however, as the band had no clout there, time spent in the studio was intermittent, and so it took about six months to record the album.[19] Although not important at the time, Twin/Tone could not afford to release the album until August 1981. Because they were suspicious of the music business in general, the Replacements had not signed a written contract with Twin/Tone Records.[3]

Early releases (1981–1982)

When the band's first album, Sorry Ma, Forgot to Take Out the Trash, finally appeared in August 1981, it received positive reviews in local fanzines. Option's Blake Gumprecht wrote, "Westerberg has the ability to make you feel like you're right in the car with him, alongside him at the door, drinking from the same bottle."[19] The album contained the band's first single, "I'm in Trouble", Westerberg's "first truly good song".[19] Sorry Ma included the song, "Somethin to Dü", a homage to another Minneapolis punk band Hüsker Dü.[20] The Replacements had a friendly rivalry with the band, which started when Twin/Tone chose the Replacements over Hüsker Dü,[21] and Hüsker Dü landed an opening slot at a Johnny Thunders gig that the Replacements had wanted.[22] Hüsker Dü also influenced the band's music: The Replacements began playing faster and became more influenced by hardcore punk. Despite this, the band did not feel part of the hardcore scene. As Mars later stated, "We were confused about what we were."[21]

Sometime in late 1981, the Replacements played a song called "Kids Don't Follow".[citation needed] Jesperson was convinced the song sounded like a hit,[23] and pleaded with the Twin/Tone co-owners Stark and Hallman, "I will do anything to get this out. I will hand-stamp jackets if I have to."[24] The partners agreed to fund the recording, but Jesperson and virtually everyone he knew had to hand-stamp ten thousand white record jackets.[24] The band recorded eight tracks within a week, with Jesperson as producer. Their "balls-to-the-wall hardcore punk attempt",[23] their first EP Stink, containing "Kids Don't Follow" and seven other songs, was released in June 1982, six months after the Chicago show.[23]

The Replacements began to distance themselves from the hardcore punk scene after the release of Stink. "We write songs rather than riffs with statements,"[25] Westerberg later stated. Inspired by other rock subgenres, he had been writing songs that incorporated a wide range of musical styles. He even wrote an acoustic ballad, "You're Getting Married One Night", but when he played it to the rest of the band, it was met with silence. "Save that for your solo album, Paul," Bob Stinson said. "That ain't the Replacements".[25] The track remained unreleased for years. Westerberg realized his toughest audience was the band itself, later saying, "If it doesn't rock enough, Bob will scoff at it, and if it isn't catchy enough, Chris won't like it, and if it isn't modern enough, Tommy won't like it."[25]

Hootenanny and Let It Be (1983–1984)

With a batch of new songs, the Replacements entered a warehouse in Roseville, Minnesota, to record their next album, with the Twin/Tone co-owner Stark engineering. Westerberg wrote songs in stops and starts, so it took several sessions of recording to finish the album. Stark's meticulous approach to recording contrasted with that of The Replacements, often frustrating the band. In one session, Mars and Westerberg switched instruments and the band began to improvise, with Westerberg repeatedly shouting, "It's a hootenanny." The band then declared it to be "side one, track one" of the new album.[26] According to Stark, the recording "was a complete joke from their point of view — they did not care what they delivered".[26]

Hootenanny, the band's second studio album, was released in April 1983. Hootenanny saw Westerberg expand his songwriting capabilities, In songs such as "Willpower", with echoed vocals and a sparse arrangement, and "Within Your Reach", which features Westerberg on all instruments, he revealed a more sensitive side.[26] It was a much more mature album than Stink and Sorry Ma, Forgot to Take Out the Trash. Hootenanny was played on over two hundred radio stations across the country, with critics acclaiming the album. The Village Voice's Robert Christgau deemed it "the most critically independent album of 1983".[27]

By Hootenanny's release, The Replacements had begun to attract a following outside of Minneapolis. The band embarked on its first tour of the U.S. in April 1983, joined by Bill Sullivan, a young security guard, as roadie, who approached the band after a show at the Walker Art Center in Minneapolis.[28] Tommy Stinson dropped out of tenth grade to join the rest of the band on tour. The Replacements toured venues in the East Coast of the United States, including a tense gig at City Gardens in New Jersey where a number of punks lined the edge of the stage while the band were playing.[25] The band visited cities such as Detroit, Cleveland and Philadelphia, but its intended destination was New York City, where they played at Gerde's Folk City and Maxwell's in Hoboken, New Jersey.[29]

The Replacements returned to New York in June 1983, playing at CBGB. The gig was a failure; the band were almost refused entry, Bob Stinson was thrown out as soon as he walked in the door, and The Replacements were the last of five bands, which meant they played in the early morning on a Monday night. The show at Folk City was not a success, because "The Replacements were so loud and obnoxious that the people just cleared right out," according to manager Jesperson.[29] The band supported R.E.M. on an eight-date tour later that summer, deciding that they should alienate the audience as much as possible. It was not a successful tour; by the end, various members had threatened to leave The Replacements. Band morale was low, and Westerberg later stated, "We'd much rather play for fifty people who know us than a thousand who don't care."[30]

For the recording of their next studio album, The Replacements decided to return to Blackberry Way Studios in late 1983. The band considered R.E.M.'s guitarist Peter Buck as producer, but when they met him in Athens, Georgia, they did not have enough material to begin recording. Instead, Jesperson and Steve Fjelstad co-produced the album.[31] By this time, The Replacements had grown tired of playing loud and fast exclusively; Westerberg stated, "Now we're softening a little where we can do something that's a little more sincere without being afraid that someone's not going to like it or the punks aren't going to be able to dance to it."[32]

The new material placed more of a focus on songwriting and the music was influenced by heavy metal, arena rock and Chicago blues. Instruments such as piano, twelve-string guitar and mandolin featured throughout the album.[3] The new album included songs such as "I Will Dare", which featured Buck playing lead guitar,[33] "Androgynous", with Westerberg on piano, and "Unsatisfied", where, according to writer Michael Azerrad, Westerberg "had hit upon a moving new way to declare that he can't get no satisfaction."[3] Let It Be was released in October 1984 to critical acclaim.[34] Robert Christgau gave the album an A+,[35] and the Seattle Rocket critic Bruce Pavitt called Let It Be "mature diverse rock that could well shoot these regional boys into the national mainstream".[34] In 1989, Let It Be was ranked No. 12 on Spin magazine's list of The 25 Greatest Albums Of All Time[36] and No. 15 on Rolling Stone magazine's list of the 100 greatest albums of the 1980s.

Early major label releases (1985–1988)

Let It Be's release had attracted attention from the major record labels, and by late 1984 several had expressed an interest in signing The Replacements.[37] Financially, the band was not doing well; they were not selling enough records to recoup their expenses, and money from shows went to recording costs, hotels, travel and instrument repairs. Bob Stinson worked a day job as a pizza chef.[38] Twin/Tone was not being paid reliably by distributors[39] and the sales of Let It Be were not high enough to justify extra promotion. "It was time for a major label to take over," according to the label's co-owner Stark.[38] The band was close to a major label contract, but often alienated label representatives by intentionally performing badly in concert;[40] their 1985 live album, The Shit Hits the Fans, was an example of their concert performances at the time.

One label, the Warner Bros. Records subsidiary Sire Records, eventually signed The Replacements.[41] The band admired the label head Seymour Stein, who had managed the Ramones, and Stein recruited Tommy Ramone as producer for their first major label album.[42] Their first major-label release was Tim on Sire.[43]

After the release of Tim, the Replacements fired Bob Stinson, partly for being unwilling to play the band's "less rocked-out" material, and partly for being too drunk to try. They also fired Jesperson the same year. "It was like being thrown out of a club that you helped start," Jesperson later commented. "Everybody was drinking and doing more drugs than they needed to."[44]

Bob Stinson preferred the louder, faster style of the band's early music, while Westerberg was exploring new territory in ballads like "Here Comes a Regular" and "Swingin' Party". The remaining Replacements carried on as a trio for Pleased to Meet Me (1987) recorded in Memphis with the Big Star producer Jim Dickinson. The Minneapolis guitarist Slim Dunlap took over on lead guitar for the subsequent tour and soon became a full member of the band.

Shortly after their January 18, 1986 performance on "Saturday Night Live", the Replacements were banned from ever returning to the show after performing an out-of-tune "Bastards of Young" and returning to stage after the first song wearing mismatched iterations of each other's clothing. (They also forgot some lyrics and didn't exactly hide it.)

Don't Tell a Soul and All Shook Down (1989–1990)

The band's next album, Don't Tell a Soul, was a quieter, less punky affair, largely considered a stab for mainstream success. While the move cost The Replacements the appreciation of some hardcore fans, the album had a number of notable songs, such as "Achin' to Be" and "I'll Be You", which topped the Billboard Modern Rock chart. The band then made a second appearance on network television—on ABC's short-lived International Rock Awards show, where they performed a typically energetic version of "Talent Show" and caused a minor controversy when Westerberg responded to the network's censoring of the "feeling good from the pills we took" line by inserting an uncensored "It's too late to take pills, here we go" at the end of the song. The band appeared on the cover of Musician magazine named “The Last, Best Band of the 80s” February, 1989 issue.[45]

But there was trouble within the band following a disastrous tour opening for Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers. Westerberg recorded a new album largely with session musicians but was persuaded to release it as a Replacements album. All Shook Down won critical praise and more mainstream attention, though the many guest players and Mars's quick departure from the band following the album's release led many to wonder about the band's future.

Breakup (1991–2011)

Steve Foley was recruited as Mars's replacement in 1990, and the band embarked on a long farewell tour which lasted into the summer of 1991.

On July 4, 1991, the band played their last show for 22 years, with the Chicago power-pop trio Material Issue, at the Taste of Chicago in Grant Park, referred to by fans as "It Ain't Over 'Til the Fat Roadie Plays" because each member disappeared during the set, their respective roadies taking their places. This show was broadcast live by the Chicago radio station WXRT. There are several bootlegs floating around the Internet.

Tommy Stinson quickly followed his time in The Replacements with the short-lived but fan favorite bands Bash & Pop and Perfect. He has been the bass guitarist for Guns N' Roses since 1998, replacing Duff McKagan from the band's "classic line-up". In 2004, he released a solo CD, Village Gorilla Head, followed in 2011 by One Man Mutiny.

Bob Stinson, after leaving The Replacements in 1986, played in local Minneapolis bands such as Static Taxi and The Bleeding Hearts. After several years of drug and alcohol abuse, he died in 1995 at age 35.[46][47]

Westerberg is a successful singer-songwriter signed to Vagrant Records and, under his alias Grandpaboy, to Fat Possum Records. Folker was released in September 2004 marking a return to the melodic low-fi of the Replacements. Dunlap keeps a low national profile, but is still quite active in the local Twin Cities music scene, while Mars primarily works as a visual artist.

In 1997, Reprise Records released the 2-CD set All For Nothing/Nothing For All. The All For Nothing disc collected cuts from Tim through All Shook Down, while the Nothing For All disc is a collection of B-sides and other previously non-album tracks.

In 2002, in an interview with Rolling Stone, Westerberg mentioned The Replacements had been considering a reunion. He said, "We'll get together again one day. It will take a while, or it might take a few legal swipes of the pen, but we ain't over." A partial reunion nearly occurred in March 2002, when Tommy Stinson planned to join Westerberg on a tour of the Midwest, but Stinson's prior commitments with Guns N' Roses prevented it from happening.[48]

On June 13, 2006, Rhino Records released a best-of-The Replacements compilation titled Don't You Know Who I Think I Was?. It consists of songs from both the Twin/Tone and Sire/Reprise records years and includes two new songs, "Pool & Dive" and "Message To The Boys". Both songs were written by Westerberg and recorded by the band (Westerberg, Tommy Stinson and Mars) at Flowers Studio in Minneapolis. Session musician Josh Freese (The Vandals, ex-A Perfect Circle, ex-Guns N' Roses) played drums on the two tracks, while Mars contributed backing vocals. Neither Slim Dunlap nor Steve Foley participated in the sessions.

On April 22, 2008, Rhino released re-mastered deluxe editions of the band's four Twin/Tone albums with rare bonus tracks. On September 24, 2008, Rhino similarly released the four Sire albums as deluxe editions.

Foley died in 2008 from an accidental overdose of a prescription medication.[49]

Material recorded with Tom Waits in 1988 was released on the Westerberg solo album 3oclockreep in 2008.

Reunion (2012–present)

On October 3, 2012, it was announced that The Replacements had reformed and that Westerberg and Tommy Stinson were in the studio recording an EP containing song cover versions. Titled Songs for Slim, the EP was sold in a 250-copy edition of 10" vinyl and auctioned online to benefit former bandmate Dunlap, who had suffered a stroke.[1]

In November 2012, documentary filmmaker Gorman Bechard released Color Me Obsessed, a film which tells the band's story through the eyes of their most ardent fans.

The Replacements played their first shows in 22 years at Riot Fest in Toronto (24–25 August 2013),[50] Chicago (13–15 September) and Denver (21–22 September).[51] Dave Minehan, guitarist/vocalist of Boston-based band The Neighborhoods, and drummer Josh Freese rounded out the line-up for these shows.[52][53] Westerberg has said that the band does not rule out touring or recording a new album.[1] The band played 2 sets at the Coachella Valley Music and Arts Festival on April 11 and April 18, 2014. On April 18, 2014 Green Day front man Billie Joe Armstrong joined the band onstage.[54] The band was also announced as one of the headliners for the September 2014 Boston Calling Music Festival along with Lorde and The National.[55] On September 9, 2014, they appeared as the musical guest on The Tonight Show, performing "Alex Chilton". On September 19, 2014 they played Forest Hills Stadium.[56] Monsoon rains cancelled the Summer Ends Music Festival in Tempe, Az on September, 27, 2014, resulting in their only indoor show of the tour when it was moved to the Marquee Theatre.

On December 17th 2014, a 24-minute Jazz improvisation track entitled "Poke Me In My Cage" was uploaded to the band's soundcloud account[57]

The Replacements are slated to perform for the first time in Spain at the Primavera Sound festival on May 28th 2015[58]

Live performances

The Replacements gained local notoriety following their first live performance because of Tommy Stinson's young age. Early shows were consistently tight and became more aggressive following the release of the Stink EP in 1982. As their stylistic repertoire began to expand with the writing and recording of Hootenanny the following year, the band's increasingly antagonistic stage show left them with a reputation for their rowdy, often drunken live shows. The band frequently went on stage too intoxicated to play. They were famously banned permanently from Saturday Night Live after performing drunk before a national television audience on January 18, 1986. As one reviewer succinctly observed, the band could quite often be "mouthing profanities into the camera, stumbling into each other, falling down, dropping their instruments, and generally behaving like the apathetic drunks they were."[59] There emerged an element of unpredictability, as The Replacements — when sober — gained critical praise for their live shows. Part of the mystique of The Replacements was the fact that the audience never knew until the start of a concert if the band would be sober enough to play. It was not uncommon for the group to play entire sets of cover versions, ranging anywhere from Bryan Adams' "Summer of '69" to Dusty Springfield's "The Look of Love" to Led Zeppelin's "Black Dog."

Legacy

The Goo Goo Dolls' vocalist and guitarist Johnny Rzeznik cites Paul Westerberg as an "obvious influence" on his music.[60] The Goo Goo Dolls toured in support for the band's final tour. They also co-wrote the song "We Are The Normal" with Westerberg for their 1993 album Superstar Car Wash.[citation needed] Members of The Cribs have cited The Replacements as a key influence.[citation needed] Members of the alternative country groups Uncle Tupelo and Whiskeytown have said that The Replacements were an important influence on them.[citation needed] Brian Fallon of Gaslight Anthem said in a 2009 interview that "without The Replacements, there would be no Gaslight Anthem.", and that they were inspired by the song "Left of the Dial."[61]

1234 Go! Records released We'll Inherit the Earth: A Tribute to The Replacements on 3 October 2006 The album has twenty-three Replacements cover songs by various rock, punk, pop and country artists.

On October 16, 2013, the band was announced as 2014 Rock and Roll Hall of Fame nominees.[62]

"Alex Chilton" appears as a playable song in Harmonix's music videogame Rock Band 2 for all consoles. "Kids Don't Follow" was also released for the game as downloadable content. Their song "Treatment Bound" was used in the official soundtrack of movie Jackass Number Two. Their songs have been featured in numerous other feature films; indeed, the 1998 teen comedy film Can't Hardly Wait is named after their single, and the song itself plays over the end credits. The song "Within Your Reach" is in the movie Say Anything. The song "I Will Dare" is sung by Keanu Reeves and Cameron Diaz in the car in Feeling Minnesota. The 2009 Greg Mottola film, Adventureland, opens with "Bastards of Young". The song "Unsatisfied" is also used in the film during the bus ride to New York scene. The song was also featured in the 1994 film, "Airheads".
