  Bob Stinson Biography - AOL Music   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-06)
Guitarist Bob Stinson was one of the original members of one of the '80s most influential alt-rock bands, the Replacements, before an out of control lifestyle led to his dismissal in 1986.
But what came out of Stinson's guitar was the kind of reckless garage rock that would've led one to believe that he was a punk aficionado.
Although Westerberg usually received the lion's share of attention as the frontman and group's chief songwriter, Stinson's unpredictable stage manner proved to be popular with fans, as he was known to perform in such unconventional fashion wear as skirts, trash bags, or nothing on at all.

 The Replacements' Bob Stinson's Death is Loss of Inspiration
Stinson and singer-songwriter Paul Westerberg were considered the architects of the band's sound.
Westerberg was a poetic punk with a record collection that ran from Kiss to Frank Sinatra to Hank Williams, and an appreciation for the craftsmanship of songwriting.
Stinson was a smash-mouth guitarist with an attitude of, "Let's just scream through it." Throw in Stinson's bass-playing brother Tommy - who wasn't even old enough to drive a car, let alone get into the bars where the Replacements played - and steady drummer Mars, and it was an intoxicating mix.

It’s no secret that Bob had a certain appetite for life, and I’m rather sure he’d probably appreciate the irony of a party being thrown where the guest of honor is the only one who can’t make it.
