In my late 50s and when I listen to songs from 'Sorry, Ma' it truly does make me feel 17 again. "Taken a Ride", "Careless", "I Hate Music." These all started a life-long love affair with The Replacements. Thank God I found their music...

Thanks for talking about Bob Stinson, Jim. Thanks to Tommy for carrying that Mats flag for us while Paul stays in the basement.

I was moved by the mention of Peter [Jespersen] mid-way thru -- especially when Tommy said he'd trust him with his life, given that the band had had a falling-out with him some time in the past; so, it's good to know that they've mended fences between them 'cuz he was their #1 fan from day one! Without him, who knows if they'd ever have gotten that first album recorded!!

Such an amazing album with such a horrible name.

I grew up on the Replacements. I listened to Tim literally every single day on my walkman on the way to school and it made me so happy. Still does! I also remember begging my parents for money to buy Don't Tell a Soul. I love all their albums equally...Bash and Pop's as well. Out of all the music I've ever known, no band evokes the same great feelings over all these years as the Replacements.

I love all of the Replacements box sets so far but, I’m really hoping for Tim most of all. It would be a great improvement if the sound was remixed & mastered properly. Legendary lp!

Tommy mentions Paul as an afterthought. Paul was The Replacements.

Tommy always had the coolest stage presence. A great yell too.

My favorite band of all time, hands down.

Something about Tommy brings me a sense of calm. He is so relaxed and cool in any interview I see of him. Such a cool guy.

Fortunate enough to make it to 4 reunion shows with my wife. Tommy Stinson is a stand up midwestern kid with no "ROCK STAR" entitlement issues. Always willing to chat. Both solo bash&pop records are FANTASTIC.

Was a college DJ back in the eighties when I first came across them....soon started a band because of those guys....forward to 1987 or so we went to see them in New Haven CT....before the gig we stopped in at a local bar and.... there they were at the bar already juiced for the show!! We sent them drinks...they said thanks...and they poured out the bar to the venue!! Great memory!!
