Have you ever seen Tommy live? What's your favorite Tommy project? I'm kinda partial to the first Bash and Pop album and I've always loved the closing tracks, Tiny Pieces and First Steps. So many choice and so many questions. Check out Tommy's website and go see a show! www.tommystinson.com/
I was to young to ever see the Mats, but my answer to the question what band do you wish could back in time and see, is always the Replacements, no matter what condition they were in that night.
Love bash and pop, the first and second albums are great. Cowboys in the campfire is classic. I’ve seen Tommy with soul asylum and with the mat’s when they reunited.
Fantastic interview Otis. The Replacements albums " Let it Be" , " Tim" " Please To Meet Me " and "All Shook Down" are the soundtrack to my teenage years! Still loves those albums. Rock On!
Tommy is the living embodiment of rock and roll, but not in a superficial “he looks cool” sense. His body of work, journeyman status and the high regard in which his peers hold him says it all. Great interview, long live Tommy Stinson.
Man I'm so grateful for you for grabbing this interview. I know Tommy and Peter Buck and some of the other characters through the touring world but I'm a generation below so I always felt walking on pins and needles around them to get the stories cuz one wants to act cool and such. Tommy is a great guy but you got him to open up. I've been an Otis fan for a long time and it continues to pay off.
You heard it here first! Tommy is so cool. Saw him once with the 'Mats and twice with Perfect. Another great quote from somewhere: Tommy is rock n roll...Keith grew up wanting to be a cowboy but Tommy grew up wanting to be Johnny Thunders. Thank you Otis for putting the whole interview up for us!
Heard Tommy live? I’ve sung on stage with him. He forgot some of the words to “First Steps” so I helped out. He is the personification of rock and roll. Just the best.
Bob Dylan received the Nobel Prize for Literature, his song writings are a mere example. I was in NYC in 62 and saw and heard about him then, and thought then he was mere Ramblin’ Jack Elliott clone. My judgment was jaded by youth. ‘Bringing It All Back Home’, ‘Highway 61’, and ‘Blonde on Blonde’ were as mind opening as reading James Joyce, Allen Ginsberg, and Emily Dickinson; great writing could be found in more than pages of books. Both Bob Dylan and Keith Richards are pinnacle icons for the last sixty years of the music scene. Tommy Stinson is an example of what that time in music gave birth to; thank you Otis Gibbs for bring out these stories. ☮
Great stories! I remember the Replacements playing the Moore Theater here in Seattle. The Young Fresh Fellows opened, and stage security was brutal... nobody could get in pit. After that opening act, the Replacements came on stage, first song, jumped off the stage, saundered pass the pit and played in the audience. Place became unglued and security backed off. We had a Hootenanny 😂
Wow. Thank you. Maybe someday the rest of the world will catch up and know what we all know on this site - that the Replacements are one of the best of the best.
I believe Mark Arm said it best, to paraphrase, if you're out there to please the crowd and not yourselves yer f'd! Replacements were a big influence on my musical listening journey! Thanks Otis great stuff as always.
What a ride, really like the Cowboys album, really excited to hear what else comes next. Really appreciate the interview. Thank you Tommy and Otis! You heard it here first!
Thanks Otis. You captured perfectly what it’s like to hang out with Tommy. Real down to earth guy and easy-going conversationalist. I took advantage of a meet-and-greet with Tommy at a solo house show a couple years ago, which was basically hanging out with Tommy, two other people, and chatting for about an hour. I was curious to see what he was like, and your video is pretty much it. We started off talking about music and ended up talking about our aging parents.
My parents took me to the Tom Petty show at Saratoga, NY. The whole place was rocking for The Replacements. It’s too bad to hear it wasn’t like that at every stop.
Bash and Pop's 2 records are great. The open G tuning on the first record makes it sound like straight Stones. BUT, Tommy Stinson's greatest song post Replacements is the song "7 days a week" from the band Perfect. Otis, please listen to that song. Sounds like a forgotten five star Replacements song.
Heard it here first. Saw the Replacements three times. Snuck into Phoenix Hill Tavern when I was 17 (and slept in the parking lot after), Deer Creek opening for Petty, and the Brown Theater after Chris left the band. You hate to lay too much on people but those guys in all their iterations then and since have been pillars propping me up as needed.
Spent the whole day with Rem and Replacements Boston Paradise July 83 we were an Athens Band so MStipe gave us a guest pass ,napped thru sound checks and tore up the shows without getting kicked out!
Cheers Otis! Was this recorded prior to the release of Wronger? Amazing to hear that Tommy is going to be working on another solo record along with another Bash & Pop record. If you happen to read this Tommy, thank you for the music, please don’t wait too long between releases!!
@@otisgibbs Thanks Otis, it threw me off when he said he was finishing up a Cowboys in the Campfire record, I was completely unaware they were doing a follow up - thanks again for such a great interview!
I think that Dylan interview he was talking about was the one with Ed Bradley of 60 Minutes. As I recall Dylan also said that he couldn't begin to do now what he did then.
So lovely and amazing to hear this unchained conversation. it both makes me NOT thing about Paul Westerberg and totally makes me think about Paul Westerberg. Don't we all want to know what he's up to and whether any new music will be coming from him in the future.
Paul lost him Mom and his son’s Mom in about a 3 day span. Maybe that spurs him to do something. But I think he’s just content to spend his days making music for himself. I caught the Replacements twice during their reunion run…had a pretty definite feeling that it was the last time I’d get to see Paul live
@@elijahn1 the Replacements did a reunion in 2013 and 2015. Although I highly doubt they’ll do it again, I was shocked they reunited in the first place! But Tommy will be out on the road until he keels over. He’s a lifer
I was living in Minneapolis in the Eighties. I didn't feel Prince was on top. It was more us against them. There were 2 very distinct and extremely different groups. Prince and the Time had a devoted fan base who didn't really want to mix with the rest of us. They seem preoccupied with how they looked while having a "who the f--- are you" attitude. The second group supported all of the other talented musicians. We were live music lovers but we were also out for a good time. Half of a great musical experience is the band and the other half is the crowd. I guess I should have seen Prince at least once but I just didn't want to deal with his people. The other bands respected Prince but when they covered his songs they had some fun at Princes' expense. The Gear Daddies version of Little Red Corvette was hilarious.

Saw the replacements quite a bit in Cleveland my favorite memory was a show at the agora it was rock n roll awesome sloopyness

All the Replacements albums.
Love bash and pop, the first and second albums are great. Cowboys in the campfire is classic. I’ve seen Tommy with soul asylum and with the mat’s when they reunited.
Bash & Pop is fantastic. Also, I absolutely love his solo record "One Man Mutiny"
You heard it here first...Tommy Stinson and Otis Gibbs both rock. Peace.
Fantastic interview Otis. The Replacements albums " Let it Be" , " Tim" " Please To Meet Me " and "All Shook Down" are the soundtrack to my teenage years! Still loves those albums. Rock On!
Which one should I start with?
@@reverandscalesI’d say Pleased To Meet Me but any of those are great to start. Also, check out Tommy’s band Bash And Pop.
@ I would start with “Let it Be “
Tommy is the living embodiment of rock and roll, but not in a superficial “he looks cool” sense. His body of work, journeyman status and the high regard in which his peers hold him says it all. Great interview, long live Tommy Stinson.
Nice. Thanks for posting. Paul put his soul into those songs, and Bob gave them heart.

Best band in the history of bands ❤

cool interview. I remember the Replacements performance on SNL, and thinking it was the coolest ever, and loved the song On the Bus.
Remarkable career, remarkable life, remarkable interview!
You heard it here first. Great lore, shout out Otis.

Cheers Otis! Was this recorded prior to the release of Wronger? Amazing to hear that Tommy is going to be working on another solo record along with another Bash & Pop record.
If you happen to read this Tommy, thank you for the music, please don’t wait too long between releases!!
This was recorded October 19th, 2024 in East Nashville, TN. ♥️
@@otisgibbs Thanks Otis, it threw me off when he said he was finishing up a Cowboys in the Campfire record, I was completely unaware they were doing a follow up - thanks again for such a great interview!
He’s referring, I think, to an interview that Bob did with 60 minutes’ Ed Bradley.

@@TR-yi8up is this a recent event? So sorry to hear that

@@elijahn1 I misread your question…yes, the pair of passing was I believe in August
@TR-yi8up, thank you for letting me know.
You heard it here first !
Tommy, are you thinking of Gonyea brothers? Brunzel and Gonyea. Just a guess, but likely
Tommy has some Persoles frames, nice
You heard it here first!
