	NIPP: Artists: Tommy Stinson (From the Replacements)
		Tommy Stinson has a pretty generous measure of all four.
		Tommy was responsible for huge slabs of what made that band special, through his spirited bass playing, sense of style, co-writing and bullshit detector among other things.
		Tommy puts it simply, “I wanted as much different stuff as I could put into one album.” It’s a work where many of his influences come together for the first time.

		Tommy Stinson (born Thomas Stinson, 6 October 1966 in Minneapolis, USA) was one of the founding members of the legendary 1980s alternative band The Replacements.
		Just 12 years old when he joined, Stinson played bass for The Replacements until their breakup in 1991, whereupon he formed the short-lived Bash and Pop and then later, Perfect, whose 1997 album Seven Days a Week was shelved due to record company problems.
		In 2004, Stinson released a solo album Village Gorilla Head which was well-received by the music press.

		Stinson donated half of his earnings from the show to TC Underground and $1.00 of all ticket sales also went to them.
		Tommy Stinson came on sometime after 9:00 p.m., explained the benefit, thanked us for coming to see him on the day of his CD release, grabbed a guitar and got started.
		Stinson plays the majority of instruments on the album himself, but he did enlist the help of some of his Perfect and Bash and Pop band mates as well as a few other folks on the new CD.

	washingtonpost.com: The Irreplaceable Tommy Stinson
		Meet Tommy Stinson, who started his career in 1979 when his 20-year-old brother, Bob, taught him to play bass so he could join the band rehearsing in the basement of the Stinson home.
		On the other hand, that left Stinson plenty of time to record "Village Gorilla Head." Though Stinson's first post-'Mats album was released in 1993, it came out under the group name Bash and Pop; a 1997 album under the band name Perfect wasn't even released until last year.
		There were other blocks as well: Bob Stinson, who had been fired from the band in 1986 for substance abuse, died of an overdose in 1995; his "replacement," Slim Dunlap, has kept a fairly low profile leading his own bands.

	NowOnTour - Tommy Stinson Review (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-09)
		Tommy Stinson objectifies the punk aesthetic as much as any artist of the last 20 years.
		Stinson's deep-rooted 'up-yours' shines through on "Bite Your Tongue," finely penned and played, it may be the highlight of the record.
		Stinson could do without the computerized (shall we call it 'slip-hop'?) title track - yet the debt is slightly redeemed by the acoustic "Light of Day" - maybe Springsteen-light, but still enjoyable.

	Glorious Noise - Tommy Stinson: Pleased to Meet Him
		Tommy absent-mindedly threw a metal-esque fist into the air to punctuate the ending of a serious song, and periodically flashed the audience an “I don’t mean it” grin.
		Tommy is a deft lyricist in his own right and he crafts inventive, catchy melodies.
		His face is an ever-changing map of the rock attitudes he grew up absorbing— from the brutish sensitivity of his late brother, Bob Stinson, to the good-time preening of Rod Stewart, to flashes of John Lydon’s suspicious glare and even the aloof beauty of Kurt Cobain.

	In Music We Trust - Tommy Stinson: Village Gorilla Head
		Eleven tracks of power-pop, rock, and introspective singer-songwriter acoustics, Stinson blends every element of what he is known for in one nice package.
		Stinson later proclaims, in the chorus, "we fall apart, we fall together.
		Stinson is most versatile, however, on the title track, a lounge-laden dance track that finds Stinson stretching his wings and really going out on a limb, to sparkling results, creating a stylish, soothing pop song that provides the perfect late-night dance groove for the drunk and lonely.

		Stinson holed up in a studio this spring and laid down 16 tracks of his own material, and he’s excited about the prospect of touring behind it and (keep your fingers crossed here) actually releasing the finished product to the public.
		One can’t fault Stinson for being wary about the music business, but early reports of stellar new material from the handful of solo gigs he’s performed so far this year (his first solo gigs in five years) have already sparked a great deal of interest.
		Thankfully, Stinson has nothing but kind words to say about the ‘Mats’ legacy on the phone, although he’s quick to affirm that repeated reunion rumors are completely false.

	Glide Magazine Features - Tommy Stinson: Rebelliously Creative
		If the four strings on Tommy Stinson’s bass could talk, they’d probably speak the lyrics to the Rolling Stones’ “It’s Only Rock ‘n Roll (But I Like It)” Sure, he hasn’t stuck a pen in his heart and spilled it all over the stage, but he’s been about as decadent.
		Stinson spent his teens and early 20’s as the bassist for The Replacements, growing up in a rock and roll fantasy camp, except it wasn’t pretend.
		However, it was in 1998, that Stinson was asked by Axl Rose to be the bassist for the revamped Guns N’ Roses.

	Tommy Stinson - Village Gorilla Head
		Stinson has been semi-active since the breakup of that seminal American rock band fronting Bash and Pop and Perfect.
		From Westerberg-esque singer/songwriter fare to Tommy Keene-drenched power pop to slick Stones/Faces-rockers to generic chart emulating-rock (whether it’s the emo-pop of Switchfoot or the wannabe-garage-rock of Jet); Stinson is all over the board and it simply doesn’t work.
		To be fair to Stinson, you cannot expect him to be Westerberg (even though he seems to be emulating him) and he isn’t going to retread the Mats glory days.

		I felt freer artistically than I ever have." Since he had decided ahead of time to pay for the recording himself and think about labels later, there was no pressure on him to make a particular kind of record, just the self-imposed compulsion to come up with something substantial.
		Stinson doesn’t want to be predictable—and he is and isn’t—yet it doesn’t matter.
		Sadly, Stinson, a music legend, will get lost in a mix with a handful of artists who are still trying to do Dylan but never succeed.

	Paste Magazine :: Feature :: Tommy Stinson :: Irreplaceable (Page 1)
		Because we record geeks so deeply lament the demise of our beloved Replacements, it’s a bit difficult to hear Tommy Stinson say that he was actually quite ready to move on when frontman Paul Westerberg bailed for a solo career in the early ’90s.
		Stinson’s friend, celebrated drummer Josh Freese — then a member of Guns N’ Roses — half-jokingly suggested that he try out for the bass gig in G’n’R, as Duff McKagan was on his way out.
		A heartbeat later, Stinson was in the band, ready to decompress and sort of slip back into a more anonymous role as a backup player.

		They'll delight in Stinson's pointed observations: "I heard about the things you done/From the dry cleaner's girlfriend's son.", "I couldn't wait to miss you, but I couldn't wait to kiss you.", "You took a turn at Silverlake and now you're calling it your home." Maybe not a sweepstakes winner, but Stinson remains a one-of-a-kind.
		A few shows and A LOT of studio time later, G'n'R has yet to release more than one song, but Tommy got a record deal, and not only does this mark his de jure 'solo' debut, he has produced what is possibly the finest album by an ex-Replacement so far.
		Tommy is not at all trying to recreate the Replacements althoguh there are a few songs that will remind you of why the Replacements were so great!

	Tommy Stinson - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Tommy and Dave Pirner (founding member of Soul Asylum) were friends in High School in Minneapolis, MN.
		On November 29, 2006 at Cleveland's Quicken Loans Arena Axl Rose called the Eagles of Death Metal the "Pigeons of Shit Metal." Stinson took his bass off and threw it on the floor saying "Fuck you, that's it".
		After refusing to play four songs Stinson went back on stage, and officially stayed with the band two days later.

	TOMMY STINSON
		Since the demise of The Replacements in 1991 (at the ripe old age of 24), Stinson has been a perpetual band member.
		The result is not the chaotic cacophony that one might expect from such an effort but, rather, a cohesive autobiography of a young man who has dedicated a quarter century to creating, sustaining and, now, invigorating a musical movement.
		Tommy then hired engineer Philip Broussard, along with the best players he could find, and got down to business - with some startling results.

		Stinson welcomes him to the bar and they jam a bit before finishing the song.
		With a sly grin, Tommy extends a hearty handshake and signs the back of the napkin on which I’d scribbled my thoughts about his performnance.

		Only 37, Tommy Stinson has spent nearly 25 years in the music business, seeing and doing more than most rockers who’ve been around much longer.

	Tommy Stinson - Village Gorilla Head (Album Review)
		At the age of 13, Tommy Stinson was in the enviable position of being a founding member of The Replacements, and after the critically lauded group disbanded in 1991, he formed two ensembles of his own (Bash and Pop; Perfect) before joining Guns N‘ Roses for a stint as its bass player.
		While one wishes Stinson had taken a few more risks with his initial gambit, it also is quite hard to complain.
		The blistering rockers pulsate with a rough and rowdy raucousness while the remainder of the collection effectively explores the pantheons of classic rock and pop, occasionally turning out a few gems in the process.

	Bob and Tommy Stinson - Interesting Motherfuckers - Acid Logic ezine
		Bob (1959 - 1995) and Tommy (1966 - 2147), Butthead Bluesmen Of The Wrong End Of The Mississippi, were born in Minnesota just like Bob Dylan, Prince, and some other eighties punk bands we Replacements fans refuse to acknowledge the existance of.
		The Replacements came together in 1979 when Bob and Tommy were in the garage getting loaded and playing with their band Dogbreath which specialized in playing their favorite tunes by Ted Nugent and Yes reallyreallyreally fast and featured another teenage alcoholic high school drop out named Chris Mars on the drums.
		How different the lives of Tommy and I might have been if only the timeless wisdom she espouses had not fallen out of favor in the soulless times we were so unfortunate as to have been born!" No, really.

		Stinson w/ the Figgs backing him up...so you know it`s going to be cool!
		A self-directed effort that was free of label pressures and deadlines, made simultaneous to his current role as bassist and musical director of Guns N` Roses, the artistic freedom is audible on this spirited collection of accomplished tracks.
		There`s a summation of raw and tempered emotions, and even a glint of hope in the lyrics (especially on album closer "Someday"), informed by years of storied living and music making with Perfect, Bash And Pop, and, legendarily, The `Mats.

		While the following suggestion certainly sounds far more ominous than intended, one gets the feeling that hanging out with Axl Rose has started to rub off on Tommy Stinson.
		There's just enough good stuff on Village Gorilla Head to remind listeners of the scruffy kid with the flawless rock instincts they knew as Tommy Stinson, but at the same time there's a bunch of stuff suggesting that maturity and a more serious outlook are taking a toll upon him.
		Here's some advice: less Guns N' Roses, more Minus 5 in your musical diet, Tommy.
