Paul Westerberg and Tommy Stinson would be cool..
Still hoping Seth books them at some poinnt...
Jeez. It is REALLY the Replacements if it's just two of them? Are you really seeing "The Who" or "Guns N Roses" or "The New York Dolls"? Don't wish for a band that you missed out on the first time and now are seeing a money-grubbing/compromised version of (Black "Tubby" Francis, I'm looking at you.)
Find the NEW Replacements. Find the NEW Pixies. Whatever they may sound like. And if you like it, then they're great. It doesn't matter what anyone else thinks. Least of all, the 9:30 board. Take me, I like The Fratellis. Who may be the Nickelback of England.
Don't listen to what the blogs and corporate mags like "Maximum Rock N Roll" TELL YOU TO LISTEN TO. Follow your ears. You know what magazine I look to to find out about the hottest, hippest music around?
I mean, who ARE those guys? Has anyone heard of them before? Are they on Facebook or Twitter?
