Re: Guns N Roses on Universal Music Group Release List
Tommys a rocker through and through. He was out touring whilst Axl was still in school not getting pussy
It may not make him a "rock star" but he's paid his dues and the lack of respect he gets shown by GNR fans is disgusting.
The Mats were never commercially successful. Partly because the more the fans egged them on the more they purposely fucked it up for themselves. Given the choice between any GNR record (incl. Chi Dem) or an old Mats album I know I'd pick Mats any day of the week.
Just my $0.02 of course
So if you were shipped off to an island and told you could only choose one album to own and it would be a choice between those 2 artists, you'd say "no thanks" to Appetite? Wow.

Re: Guns N Roses on Universal Music Group Release List
Funny, I know quite a few people in Europe and Scandinavia who are die-hard Mat's fans. I guess they are nobodies. I have some pretty kick-ass video of Frank and his band (i'll let you figure it out since you know it all) performing to fairly big crowds, who were rabid, in Europe.
When I said 'nobody' I meant that out of 1,000 people less than 5 will know him. Or only one. You are lucky and special to know Mat's fans. Almost the same goes for Pixies, although (in Europe) much more people know and like them than The Replacements.

Re: Guns N Roses on Universal Music Group Release List
Let it Be, Tim, and Pleased to Meet Me are three of the best rock albums ever made. It's subjective, so you cannot blame someone if they would prefer one of those albums to Appetite. Nor vice versa. Really, GNR fans need to check the re-mastered, reissues of these out. Brilliant albums--i would start with Tim (here is a song from it--listen to Stinson's trademark bass):

Re: Guns N Roses on Universal Music Group Release List
Not impressed. The vocals and guitar work suck. Tommy is pretty good though.

Agreed. The vocals seem very weak to me, and i'm not impressed by the writing.
This is the band you are saying is better than GNR? You say this record is better than AFD? Okay, where's the proof?
But thank you for helping us prove our case that GNR is better than the Replacements.

I didn't say who's better although I prefer AFD over anything else (but NIN's The Downward Spiral and Tori Amos' From The Choirgirl Hotel are very close ). I'm sure that Tommy is ar fom the rock star status though. It doesn't tell anything about his abilities, although I don't think he'd be too talented. Didn't like his solo album, not impressed by the leaks and the Replacements stuff I've heard. Music is subjective. But I'll check out the remastered versions you mentioned
Re: Guns N Roses on Universal Music Group Release List
The people that love Tommy's only claim is the replacements influenced alt rock. Well, alt rock is what we have and it sucks, so good job and thanks a lot.
To go along with what buzzsaw said...
If the Replacements influenced so many people, mind giving us a list of other huge bands they really influenced. Not talking about bands saying, "oh, the Replacements, yeah i like em", i mean people citing them as influences.

Re: Guns N Roses on Universal Music Group Release List
Yeah I wouldn't exactly be proud to have influenced the likes of the Goo Goo Dolls, who in turn influenced the crap that's so popular today (Fallout Boy, etc.). But this kind of thing happens a lot in music history. Led Zeppelin was probably the biggest influence on hair metal, which is one of the worst genres ever.
