The Replacements - When It Began (Video)

[atomicinjun]

This has always been one of my favorite bands. I always thought Pleased to Meet Me was a masterpiece and the their other albums were a close 2nd.

[mskcouric]

@atomicinjun You must have not heard Let It Be or Tim, then. Pleased to Meet Me is great, but it doesn't touch those two.

[Dollyrar]

So reflective and beautiful :)

[Acquisto]

this is mediocre elevator background noise if anything.

[rubencon]

nice fx

[MisterVanBuilderAss]

dun get much betta den dis

[1953taggie]

One of my favorite albums...even though it was really a Westerberg solo album...or almost. If that's what it is, so be it.

[jacktala1]

agreed..Mrbuc.....

[Laminateddeffect]

I love this song!

[scottat62]

this song is pure sh2#*t.

[BeholdTheMagicEgg]

@scottat62 pure sh2#*t, you say? Sounds messy.

[MsBooBoo1204]

ive never heard this band till today and i think its my favoriteee! <3

[AsSeenOnCCTV]

The crazy shit is, people generally aren't very fond of All Shook Down, just 'cause it's more of Paul's solo stuff and with a slick pop production. But if any other artist would've released those songs, people would be in absolute awe. It's just got a lot of shit because people compared it to Let It Be.

[assblaster61]

@AsSeenOnCCTV , I thought it was 5 star and love all their tunes (including Paul's solo stuff)...magic stuff! RIP Bob.

[KurtMoss]

my fav, time beat us DOWN

[30Flambeau]

[BillyDreamer2]

Two problems with this video, Paul's playing the banjo and there is no Mars. But yes, best band ever!

[wjow1]

Great Band, Ok Song, Average Album

[jacktala1]

grammy bitch!

[jsizer35]

What happened to Chris Mars on drums? Guy in this video is a good musician though !!!

[mrfiggins]

@jsizer35 Chris Mars had left the band by then (I'm not sure if he actually recorded any songs at all on that album). The drummer for the tour was that guy in the video, Steve Foley.

[assblaster61]

@jsizer35 , Producer kicked him out...said he was always "behind the beat"...

[jsizer35]

Rock n Roll Hall of Fame, Please!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[KurtMoss]

WAVE GOODBYE

[MrBuc128]

This is one of the best albums of the 90s'. This band is without question the most underrated,underappreciated bands of all time.

[1982maiden]

@MrBuc128 hell yeah

[1982maiden]

@MrBuc128 this anb the ramones too

[frodo2734]

...and I guess Chris Mars has pretty much given up drumming to focus on his art. He is an amazing painter.

[coffeebitches]

@frodo2734 Or he had Twins tickets for that day.

[frodo2734]

Great song, but definitely a sign that Westerberg was already thinking about his solo career. Does anybody know if the two claymation figures at 1:05 are supposed to be Bob Stinson and Chris Mars? If so, I love the way they look at each other like, "What the hell is this?" If there ever were a Mats' reunion, it would have to be Paul, Tommy, Slim, and a new drummer (Josh Frees ?). Sadly Bob and Steve Foley (the drummer for like the last six months of the Mats' existence) are no longer with us.

[captainalbator]

@frodo2734

All Shook Down was originally intended to be Westerberg's first solo record. Sire/Warner Bros. insisted he put "The Replacements" on the cover.

[chaksheba]

I miss this band =(

[marcom95076]

greatest underground band

[jsizer35]

1990!

[unnecessaryNoisex]

what year did this song come out?

[chaglang]

if your favorite band makes a video like this, I'm sorry but they're about to split up.

[BrainStew80]

Is it weird that I feel like I should already know the words to this? God, I can't believe I haven't been listening to this band before...

[1970lauram]

what bass is tommy using here?

[baatz]

that one tall guy has really bad posture

[BrutusMcCrunch]

These last two 'Mats albums are pure gold.

Think about it...they absolutely started alt-country.1989?

C'mon who else popularized that sound.....

[Bansheeeyes78]

LOVE!!!!! Man, they just don't write music like this anymore! Few can match the writing style of Paul. Thanks SO much for this video...been a long time, but the memories are flooding back. =]

[kerbot2000]

also, Steve Buscemi MUST play Slim Dunlap in the inevitable Replacements biopic.

[boomboxlamf]

when did all this get put back on? i thought warner took all their music off youtube?

[drewpoh]

AWESOME SONG! AWESOME BAND!, surprised not many ppl listen to them
