Tommy Stinston is now in Guns N Roses.

Yay for the Mats reforming, if only for a couple of songs. One of the all-time great live bands.

The Eyeball band is The Residents.

Never heard of them :shrug:

your much too young. Replacements were a precursor to Nirvana. Great garage, punk band, the strokes could only dream about being. If the two songs are horrible, its ok because they were so good at fucking up.

Another one of my fave Mats touches was the writing credits for the song Mr. Whirly on Hootenanny. Kind of a mash-up of a couple of tunes, "Mostly stolen" is what it says on the label.
