Interviews: Tommy Stinson (The Replacements, Guns n' Roses, Soul Asylum)

Nov 16, 2011, 8:00pm Punknews.org

It's hard to put together a better rock n'roll resume than that of Tommy Stinson's. After helping form The Replacements at the ripe age of twelve years old, Stinson served as the sole bass player of the band until its ultimate demise in 1991. Since then, Stinson has worked on various projects and-perhaps most notably-he has been holding down bass duties for the ever-mercurial Guns N' Roses. Stinson also tours and records with alt-rock vets, and fellow Minnesotans, Soul Asylum. This past summer, Stinson recorded a solo album chocked full of alt-twang power pop titled One Man [...]

Sometime To Return

Jul 27, 2011, 9:43pm Bleedin Out

I was in the big city yesterday, lucky enough to have a bunch of meetings (meetings = hope for bizness) and I found myself around the corner from where an old friend works. This person was someone, who, for the past few years, I have been very close to. As a result of the last few months of jumping on and falling off assorted wagons of vice, I had cut off communication... as I had with virtually everyone I know (except for immediate family). Aside from being on hiatus from my band due to the same reasons, [...]

Soul Asylum - Chicago show live, classic video

Jul 26, 2011, 2:32pm Waved Rumor

Soul Asylum played Chicago's Sheffield Garden Walk music fest this past weekend. and you can grab the link to the recording here. Dave Pirner looks to have grown out his hair again, and he still sings like a motherfucker. Dan Murphy still rocks hard. The Replacements-connected rhythm section of Tommy Stinson on bass and Michael Bland on drums fills out Soul Asylum's sound. The band sounds great above on 'Gravity'. Setlist: 01: Marionette 02: Easy Street [...]

Rock Clips of the Week - The Effigies and Soul Asylum

Jun 3, 2011, 6:59pm Waved Rumor

These Friday rock clips are feeling pretty fucking anachronistic lately, with everyone and their mothers painting their moods on Facebook with new and used video clips. That being said, I'm a creature of habit and occasional comfort, so I give in to the end of week urge. Hope you still like it. Today I'm throwing out two underground favorites from the early/mid 1980s. The first is from an old Chicago fave The Effigies , who released their classic debut EP Haunted Town" (with Chicago's flag on it) in 1981. (It also apparently looks as if [...]

DYRT90s? // Soul Asylum: Black Gold

Mar 4, 2011, 2:35pm Barryfest

Not only is this song one of the catchiest protest songs of any decade, it may be the only thing from the 1990s that has actually become more relevant since its original heyday. Even such beloved and enduring pieces of popular culture as Seinfeld , rollerblades, and third-wave feminism seem dated - if not charmingly quaint - when viewed though a lens clouded by the econo-politically fractured moral relativity that typifies our hyper-connected, post-9/11 world. The fact that this particular tune has not been afforded a resurgence on adult contemporary radio shows just [...]

Mostly Just Turning Out Wrong

Jan 29, 2011, 2:42am The Adios Lounge

Soul Asylum in their prime In 1990, Soul Asylum released my favorite album in their catalog, And The Horse They Rode In On . The band was in their prime, the songwriting was concise, clever, and perceptive, and they destroyed live. I feel lucky that I got to see them twice that year. The first time was in November at the Country Club in Reseda with Thelonious Monster opening (first time seeing both ... epic), and a month later at the Warfield in [...]

Nightmares For A Week – Veins

Jan 18, 2011, 9:23pm 1146 miles

When I think back to the '90s, so much comes to mind for me. That includes high school, flannel shirts, River Phoenix, beer bongs full of Natty Light and some of the best alternative music ever! Some of my favorite bands include Jawbreaker, Soul Asylum, and the Replacements. Currently, I have craved an updated version of that sound and been able to get my fix through bands like Cage the Elephant but I have also recently descovered another great band, Nightmares For A Week. Besides having a kick-ass name, this New York-based trio has a sound that drifts between the before [...]

out of seattle

i am not sure whats going on with this compilation of live tracks, but its called out of seattle . i am guessing its a fan made comp, which if it is thanks to you. i only say that cause out of the 6 bands highlighted, 2 of em really have nothing to do with seattle. sure the afghan whigs were signed to sub pop at one point and soul asylum was kinda lumped in with all the seattle bands back then. so, it makes some kind of sense, i suppose. anyway, i dont have dates or anything, but [...]
