The Replacements '81 Maybelline (Chuck Berry)

[Yookiwooki]

COMPLETELY forgot the words haha

[erock3377]

best bar band EEVVEERR!

[leminyelloblak]

This is some great footage! God... like a million other people, I wish I'd been there! To the people talking shit about The Replacements: Yeah... this is pretty rough and even Paul himself admitted that their musicianship was lacking back then; but they had more heart than any of the BS out today. Hell... they were a better Nirvana than Nirvana ever was.Listen to "Unsatisfied", "Left Of The Dial", "Alex Chilton" or their cover of "September Gurls" and get back to me. Until then shut the f**k up.

[onthebus17]

One of the all time great bands.  Real Rock and Roll.

[colfair]

the comments about the Beatles were spot on , They WERE rough but with all their heart and soul, just like this

[colfair]

psychobilly yeah!!!

[SpencerSchliep]

The don't need to learn how to play just learn how to tune. Chuck Berry needs to learn the same thing though!

[toddsayshi]

@BaalofSouls You just told "The Replacements" to "learn to fucking play." You shouldn't talk about things you don't understand. Maybe you should actually look up some of their orignal work. "Bastards of Young," "Alex Chilton," "Unsatisfied"...those songs are classic and you're a dick.

[BaalofSouls]

@toddsayshi lol oh well. Music is opinion cocksucker. Not one opinion can be viewed as "correct" or "right" bc its a matter of opinion. And yes I am a dick. Im an asshole. So be it

[BaalofSouls]

Wow, yet another massacre to an awesome song...thanks alot faggot punk rockers, learn to fucking play

[Flynnsox]

@BaalofSouls upload another Super Mario rap beat, you fucking clown.

[EyesOfTheSouthSTi]

@BaalofSouls another elitist douchebag. go kill yourself.

[BaalofSouls]

@EyesOfTheSouthSTi LOL Its not elitist dumbass. They clearly cant play guitar worth shit. And thats my opinion so deal w it.

[EyesOfTheSouthSTi]

@BaalofSouls Nah you are just an elitist prick. Deal with my opinion and cry about it some more.

[BaalofSouls]

@EyesOfTheSouthSTi Im dealin but not cryin. Its all opinion and I think I hurt ur lil feelings emo fag

[EyesOfTheSouthSTi]

@BaalofSouls Clearly you are still crying about it since you have to TRY and insult me. Insults only work if they actually bother me haha. Clearly it didn't. Nice try though.

[BaalofSouls]

@EyesOfTheSouthSTi Wasnt a try. I did insult u and if it really didnt bother u u would have just ignored it lol

[TheInternetTroll100]

wtf is this shit

[21stCenturyNimrod]

LOL @ KapnKoolio :')

[21stCenturyNimrod]

Booooooooooooooobb

[josh90123]

the lead singer totally goofed the lyrics.

[mattybock]

chuck berry would not be pleased, i'm sure not.

[mattking23]

@mattybock Of course he would be. If it's heartfelt, sincere, and ballsy, it's rock and roll. Doesn't matter how fast you play it.

[ioriorioriorio]

@mattybock Chuck would kick thier skinny lame pasty white asses.....and do it at his current age of 82...then he would make 'em his bitch and then "turn them out"

[EyesOfTheSouthSTi]

@ioriorioriorio kind of doubt that.

[spunkeyproducts]

wow, i wanted to do a punk cover of this :( i guess me and the mats think the same :D

[glory777]

Does anyone have the entire show in one vid?

[darkfpc]

Thank you so much, i was looking for a long time to a pro shot of the replacements.

Do you know if a pro shot live version of Bastard of young does exist by any chance?

It's such a shame that there's not that much pro material concerning that band!

Regards.

[JabberOff]

Brilliant. Hard to believe that they became so serious later in their career. I'd have loved to see them live.

[morganenosfilms]

haha, paul didn't know the words.

[radiodaze91]

This is awesome. One of my favorite songs being covered by one of my favorite bands.

[shanerbiy]

easily my favorite band ever. played a show with bob stinson at the mirage 2 weeks before he died. i think the band he was playing with was called pop smear? he was backstage running around nekkid, then dressed up in a clowns suit to go play... eventually he got kicked out, and that was the last time i saw him.

[igottajob2]

This is an amazing version of this song. Maybe If you knew anything about American rock then you would understand. The Replacements are one of the best bands of all time...show a little respect.

[Guterzogenbistdunich]

Oh My God, what a good song are maked so bad!!!! Put the Peoples in the Jailhouse!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Tommygunn77764]

Go, Bobby, Go!!

[aprilstarjewelry]

thanks whoever sent this lol

[58Fleetwood]

hahahaaaaaaaaayeeeeeah.

[koehlicool]

Now this is pure, raw, kick ass rock' n roll by the best American band, ever... Somehow Paul ( is it Paul ??? ) can't remember the lyrics, but that makes it even greater

[littletone]

"somehow"? I can tell you how...he was drunk!

[slytown]

If you didn't know The Replacements would be drunk when they played their show then you didn't know what you were paying for. ;)

[fmix10]

I was just a lad back then, but from what ive gathered since, it seems that if you were a college student in the 80s these guys were considered GODS.

[natethegreat19862000]

kapnkoolio if you want technical virtuosity instead of heart felt beauty and raw energy you REALLY typed the wrong thing into the youtube search engine. sorry.

[TenenteDinamite]

I really like The Replacements, I love Chuck Berry, but what really hooked me in this video was that it happened in the very same day I was born. It's a weird feeling. Good though.

[KellyGreen5555]

Vintage Mats!

[kapacon]

goink!

[Magnophirol]

Oh, shit!

[negativeEclipse]

love them

[oneslickjackrabbit]

What a bunch of wankers! Saw them in '88 and they were still a bunch of rowdy, drunk f**kers! This is some great sh*t!

[teiscoxx]

Suck down some beers..turn up the Amps...123 Go!!!

Great Rock and Roll Band!!!!!

[teemo242]

Great- Kiss my ass -- here it comes style. Classic! Mats rule

[spadge321]

most beautifull elegance !!!

tiny / salford

[Damsel664]

wow this is awesome thanks for this

[Ranger01]

Man the replacements ARE Rock and Roll to me, being a MN musician myself. You got to remember they were drunk at most of their concerts. Alot of there concerts they were too drunk to play their own stuff so they played half assed covers. The Replacements didnt care if the concert would be heard 20 some years down the road they wanted a fun time. Thats what rock and roll is, not some band playing perfectly every concert but a band up there just to have fun, and bring fun to others.

[yhn1inc]

I think ya can be cool and rock with energy and attitude and give your fans their money's worth without being drunk. Being shit-faced at a show that people made the effort to show up and pay to see is disrespectful. Having said that I always thought Paul was a talented singer and songwriter. Wish he had made more dough...yink.

[KapnKoolio]

Oh my goodness is this awful! What an amateur-sounding group. No, there are lots of quite talented amateurs on YouTube -- this is more like what a bunch of chimpanzees with electric guitars would sound like. But I think that's the sound they were going for.

[spadge321]

you dont play then ?

stupid twat

kill yourself !!!

[KapnKoolio]

I guess you like this group. What kind of "music" is this?

[ztjordan]

It's real live rock 'n' roll - not that stuff that comes out of a studio...

The Mats rock, but you've gotta understand the ethos to get it: this is '81 - the Mats were still rowdy, drunken punks.

Saying this is awful is like saying the Beatles sounded horrible on the Reeperbahn. Yeah, they probably did, but I still wish I could've seen it.

[beasticular]

@ztjordan all of this except "sounded horrible"

[godFlintstone]

@ztjordan Part of the luster or charm to the Mats was the fact they were rowdy, drunken punks. Or a rowdy, drunken unit. That's what made them special beyond the fact that they wrote amazing music.

[teemo242]

little thing called guts and grit-- looks like you still need an introduction.. SSFY

[kbdorf]

Oh my goodness- you probly messed your depends up too Edna! what were you doing here? mind yer own buisiness- go play bingo- don't talk.

[KapnKoolio]

OK, you're right -- I've changed my mind. On a second listening I've decided these guys are phenomenally talented virtuosos who have taken music to a level never previously conceived of. What they do is positively superhuman.

[lukeashmoore]

@KapnKoolio you have noooooooooooo idea how hard you fail! hahah

[BillyDreamer2]

That is just cool.

[Borjolo]

awesome sound and rythm, mosh pit!!!

[Minutes82]

Best footage evah!!!
