so nuts. I used to be friends with him. when he was working as manager of journeys at rockaway mall! I doubt he'd even remember me, but my boyfriend at the time knew/worked with him. I have a burned album from Brian from when he was in the band 'this charming man' - I am so happy for the fame and exposure.
What Brian said about the Clash and the Replacements, I couldn't agree more with... I like the in depth lyrics from the Clash "Give 'em Enough Rope" and "Let It Be" from the Replacements on, more so than the earlier stuff. Everybody talks about the first Clash album being so great, I'm not a big fan of "Sorry Ma..." or "Hootnanny".
Great interview. @39:06 Strip away the pop recorded version of No Surrender. It's a brilliant song. worst possible version is on record. @41:30...i was scared of the same thing. but ended up meeting him twice....and glad i did. He didn't disappoint, and was cool.
I should have stayed with it... Mr. Fallon is younger than me by about 7 years, but we are pretty much the same up until about 1995......... RUBY HUE, denver, co 1990's.... big dreams never came true. The 'Mats live on!

This is absolutely the best thing I have seen in awhile. I would love to talk music with Brian any day of the week!!
It's so cool to see someone that's established gush about their favorite band
Paul Westerberg, Johnny Reznick and Brian Fallon so similar only decades apart
Oh man i love him
incredible interview
"Tim" is one of the greats, along wit "Combat Rock".
Tim is my favorite too, it's a perfect album.

all through the video I was like man that coffee is getting cold!!
Thanks for posting this! It is great!
Seems like a pretty cool guy, it's always cool like Marcos said to see someone with a pretty established band get so passsionate xD

i feel like a lot of what Brian is saying could directly be put towards the gaslight anthem .
Gorman Bechard's 100% right the four demos on the Sorry Ma reissue were so much better than the final product, especially Raised in the City.

The whole "Replacements and Jawbreaker aren´t that good" was just a provocation to the ortodox guys at punknews.com. Fallon is a huge Mats fanboy.
It's weird. He seems like such a big fan here, but he also did that interview where he said "The Replacements aren't that good."
post the patrick stickles full interview!
Replacements reunion at Riot Fest!
He said he was trying to piss people off haha
14:15 and onward, LOL
Haha why am I not surprised Gaslight Anthem fans don't know the Replacements, Cause their hipsters haha. Much love to Fallon!
I think that when Fallon said the Replacements and Jawbreaker are not that good, it was him being honest. They're not.
