The Replacements - Bastards of Young

[MTBbeer]

Excellent!

[WillieMFC]

I've just recently introduced myself to the Replacements and I'm totally blown away.

[proxelies]

Stuff like this proves the best music comes out of Minneapolis!

[rubbertoe6661]

best video ever

doesnt get any better

just music

this is

real

[MMMBloat]

Best video of all time!  Better than Thriller!

[brraca]

Best song ever!!!!!!!

[DieDumbPeople]

for fucks sake have any of you embittered anging bastards bashing the ggds ever listen to their early garage band rock?

[davidhrod]

All you punk ass bitches who don't know the Replacements should go to hell and get the FUCK OFF MY LAWN!!!!

[forstrings56]

pauls voice is rock and roll incarnate.

[phelpsasnal]

man, you can tell the goo goo dolls were inspired by these guys. the vocalist reminds me of both johnny and robby's voice, all in one and the lyrics are reminscient of the identity-less state described in the goos song "Name."

[mfish24]

F-ing Goo Goo Dogs & Replacements shouldn't even be mentioned in the same sentence. What a sh!t girlie band Goo Goos are

[blazerr]

The Goo Goo Dolls are not fit to smell Paul Westerberg's farts.

[SDRE1005]

the voices are only thing that sound alike goos took lots of shit for being replacement ripoffs so changed their sound to cheesy ballads to become famous

[custodianofanarchy]

I love "Bastards Of Young"...the opening scream is perfect...it sounds defeated but like a call-to-arms at the same time...It reminds me of hanging out late at night with other losers...

[Loverearsup]

The Replacements spawned many "Bastard" offspring rock bands. Soul Asylum is one that owes a lot to them. Green Day is another.

The Mats themselves could musically be "Bastards" of The Clash. The Rock wheel keeps on turning.. rolling along into the future

[scottr371970]

If you are going to talk about Replacements offspring you have to start with Nirvana.Ripped entire lines from Paul and even named their biggest albums for a Replacements song.

[philipgar]

Soul Asylum are far more contemporaries of the 'mats than offspring (at least when comparing them to Nirvana and Green Day, etc). Sure their early years were influenced by them, as was everyone in MPLS at the time. They played for much of the same crowds, and for their first few years, Soul Asylum was known to open for the mats. But both bands were still growing at this time, and each ended up with very different futures.

[Compass56]

The Very Definition of Rock and Roll.

[mainedave]

Mats rock...Check out the lyrics of Weserberg

[hardcandy79]

Wow....way ahead of their time......

My BF showed me this band....

Great artists.

[loucheslaw]

the cribs are covering this

[guitarlicker]

chris mars the drummer composed this..my most favourtie soing after left of the dial in tim

[teenagelobotomy14]

reunite please?

RIP bob stinson.

[rovertravis]

What is the name of the record, in the middle of song which Paul take for a little while

[dakooolkidd]

He picks up the album tim by the replacements

[Chromebaby]

Less is more.

[MONster2054]

best music video of all time! the mats ARE one of the best bands ever.

[JoeSmoeX]

To hell with the cover, this is the real shit!

Love this simple black and white vid. Some dude sitting around jamming to a record, smoking a cig, veging out on the couch.  Reminds me of a typical, boring day when I was a teen. Well, except I didn't destroy my speakers...

[slideguy]

words to the wise:  Don't EVER go ut drinking with these guys!!!!!!!!!! Your head will hurt for days.

[tenchi64589]

You mean you did?

[amrcnerrorist7]

against me did a good cover of this imo

[travelingbone85]

yeah where can i find that all i've herd is a 30 second clip?

[amrcnerrorist7]

i bought the special edition of new wave and on the dvd they play it

[negicore]

There was a replacements tribute that Against Me! Covered this, Called We'll Inherit The Earth.

[getinthevan330]

Westerberg's words were so heartful and completely to the point. The band itself is a true testament to integrity and a big fuck you to MTV. It's sad to see the misguidedness of today's music scene.

I agree, The Cribs cover of this was pretty bad.

Paul, Tommy, Bob & Chris...what a great bunch of guys! Long live The Replacements!

[wusmmik]

Doesn't it go into "Kiss Me On The Bus" after he leaves the room. I think they showed on MTV's 120 Minutes maybe once. The same number of times they showed Husker Du's "Makes No Sense At All" video.

[gazboat]

Fuckin' amazing...Just fuckin' amazing

[xxmylittleonexx]

this is fucking awesome. the replacements were so rock! (what happened, paul??)

[GHOSTuckyourself]

hey yeah.....

[pearlwhizz]

how about the cribs.

they're an awesome modern band, and they cover this song

[bristarman]

terrible - they just cover it for some cred. they water it down too.

[trentacid008]

one of the best songs....EVER!!

[wilcojoe13]

Bands of today should listen to a song like this and realize how AWFUL their own music is.

[genxdude1991]

You tell by listening to this song that The Replacements had a huge influence on The Goo Goo Dolls. Mainly their old stuff.

[zeliemike]

The Replacements had a huge influence on many bamds.

[spwb2k]

genx youre right. i commented back in the day that this song sounds a lot like the Goo's '95 hit "aint that unusual," which is my favorite song on that awesome album (cd? do we even use the word "album" anymore?)

No doubt that Johnny Rez and Robbie Tac have every Replacements album ever made.

[AceBeeDee]

an album is a collection of songs, a cd is the format that the album is on

[trentacid008]

The Revolution will be Televised

[istarthescenes]

Indeed...I always go totally crazy after hearin this. The Replacements are so damn good...and this is a damn good song AND VIDEO

Fuck MTV!!

[nogololo]

fuck yea man. i got that shit the day it came out.

[bobmonsen]

I f*cking love this song!

[merehunt]

...well besides kicking the speaker (usually)

[merehunt]

video makes me want a cigarette. but other than that... this is great just because that's really what we do when we listen to some music.

[barringtonbank]

I trashed my room after hearing this.

[Ignat]

I want to punch people in the face I dont like after hearing this

[openyourmind25]

that's inspiring.

[istarthescenes]

That is absolutely awesome.

[TheEndAsWeKnowIt]

Best. Video. Ever.

[Ignat]

no its just a sensible vehicle for record storage!Its the exact same size as a record.

[edyken77]

That's so punk how the record player is on a milk crate.

[ctizya]

why dont they make music videos like this anymore? fucking brilliant

[Ignat]

Well.Sex fashion and money. Thats why!

[Mklztr]

new wave video of against me! is similar

[hamburgercake]

The against me! video was a tribute.

[icantthinkofaname11]

against me pwns

[nyjets80nfl]

wow great video music should be about sound like it used to be not displaying an image

[liambf]

rock music pretty much always had image, even in the fifties. that "fuck you" attitude. elvis wiggling his hips and shit. this video gave an image to the replacements, too. the "fuck you, we're not going to give you a real video!" image, which i guess is a lot better than the "fuck yes we're hot!" image. anyway, replacements forever!

[bridgetown]

I will always love this video, will always love this song.

[takeoverlover]

oh and also the store is selling out and going away cause the competition of ipods is too high

[takeoverlover]

theres an old 70 year old record store in toronto and i just bought i mint condition still packaged copy of The Replacments: All Shook Down....it was 25 cents...lol. cause no one has tape players anymore...does anyone think itll be worth anything one day??

[Biguns]

Ill give you $5 for it, I love vinyl

hope thats not an insult

[dudleythemoose]

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!

that was a gppd speaker! a pioneer hpm100!

[dudleythemoose]

whoops-meant "good"

[michaelmoval]

This video is so fuckin' awesomely gnarly! At the end, I love it when the guy kicks over the stereo.

[dudleythemoose]

you shopuldnt! that was an Pioneer HPM-100, the greatest speaker Pioneer ever sold to america! I own a pair of HPM-40s and i could never picture myself doing something so-*continues ranting*

[donkeypuncherpunx]

bastards of young + attitude = punk rock

[webby686]

"The ones that love us best are the ones we'll lay to rest/And visit their graves on holidays at best/The ones who love us least are the ones we'll die to please"

beautiful song and video. genius.

[Arnoldhashugemuscles]

Man, that is one haunting song!

[m60fly]

Kick ass!Could you imagine trying to get air time on a video like this now?Damn human greed.This was one of my favorites to watch on much music,funny how it went from regular play to power hour than power 30 to the wedge and if your lucky the punk show.

[Qbaca]

Much Music used to air this occasionally. Fuckin' Awesome, thanks.

[DarkViciousEyes2279]

Kick ass song and will be for years to come.

I love it! It's an incredible song!

[MaryJaneBlackHeart]

Ths is THE rock anthem, past, present, and future.

[jack00008]

this wasn't an 80's video because it was on beavis and butthead.

[stevieschnick]

Uhhhh, yes it was. It came out in '86. Just because Beavis and Butthead was from the 90's doesn't mean they didn't show older videos. Being that you're only 18, I'll go easy on you.

[DavidH1]

Jesse Malin's new album, "Glitter in the Gutter" has a solo piano cover of this song that is really good, but nothing can beat the original. This is one of the best rock songs of the 80's from one of the greatest bands ever.

[TheBrandall]

I love that song.

[babylonbob]

thank god for you tube i saw this vid on bevis and butthead and not since the greatist r&r band and the greatist athem ever and I'M ALMOST FUCKING 50 !!!

[BenJeremy]

Ahhhh... the days when a couple of milk crates worked as an audio stand for your Emerson or Magnevox hi-fi stereo, and speakers just played nice, clear audio.

Now, a decent audio stand costs more than that entire stereo did back then.

[Hallucination]

This song rocks. Reminds me of Soul Asylum. Maybe I should say Soul Asylum reminds me of these guys. I know The Replacements along with bands like Husker Du influenced them alot.

[BushmenKing]

I think they sabotaged their own commercial success with this video. This is a hell of a song!

[thepanoramiccat]

Brilliant. Minimalism at its best.

[machinesbreathe]

I believe the Goo-Goo Dolls are a bit delinquent on their royalty fees. Pay up, boys; You owe Westerberg your entire carreer.

[ducttape356]

WOW

[funkpic]

Your a fucking idiot

[KIWI897]

we gotta wait until the guy kicks the speaker. Of course, this is a boring video.

[mdelrossi1]

greatest video ever made

[spwb2k]

Ever notice how much this song sounds like the Goo Goo Dolls 1995 rocker "Ain't that Unusual"? for that matter, ever notice how almost EVERY power pop band post 1990 sounds like, and owes a major props to, the Replacements? i thot you might. peace out.

[TorThor]

Amen to that...

[livewire886]

We are definitley the real "Bastards of Young"! The Replacements and Paul Westerberg are the rulers of the alternative nation. Long live the music and many more!

[CarnalDestroyer]

I love this video, I love the Replacements and this song is incredible.

[unconditionalmalice]

Boring? I think most people with a brain find it fascinating.

[Quovel]

"I threw a bottle rack and urinal in their faces as a challenge and now they admire them for their aesthetic beauty."

Marcel Duchamp

[mikeroach113]

The worst, and most BORING music video EVER. Along with Prince's "When 2 R In Love".

[lazrpo1nt3r]

well, that's the point. They're saying you should listen to the music instead of watch a pretty video. Obviously you haven't learned this lesson yet.

[ChuckHipolitho]

One of my favorites, ever.

[mollybyrd]

ha. so perfect. this is my favorite music video. (its also chris carraba's favorite video...and thats a known fact.)

[GunHed17]

Dam, this brings back memories....

If I recall, the video for 'Left of the Dial' off of the same album was almost the exact same, without the speaker getting kicked in at the end.

[steelers724309]

fuck mtv and fuck green day but mainly fuck mtv

[nukemnow]

steelers724309 (1 month ago)

"fuck mtv and fuck green day but mainly fuck mtv "

Couldn't have said it better myself.

[VanamondeMedia]

Awesome, this is hands down my favorite music video of all time, and an excellent song.

[OMFGITSSHAUNIE]

the replacements are geniouses

FUCK MTV

[hocobo]

"geniuses"

[rockinbones]

That video is an early memory of my childhood. Thanks for putting that up.

[sexyonion]

Anything that fucks with MTV is cool with me.

[thevoid99]

One of the Greatest Videos Ever!!!!

[lspaceman3]

Replacements are fucking awsesome.

[TrickyTolles64]

Cool video! I grew up with these guys. Paul Westerberg's lyrics really spoke/speak to me. Isn't weird how some artists, make you REALLY listen to them and other's you just sort of half listen to or just let a small percentage of your brain/heart get it? I dont know, The 'Mats, and Husker Du did/do that for me....Rock On!! Thanks..
