Here Today... Gone To Hell!

TOMMY STINSON HELPS

Ex-Replacements bassist Tommy Stinson helped out on singing and bass on a few tracks and filled in on bass at club dates after Mueller died.

Currently touring Europe with Guns N? Roses, Stinson is expected to rejoin Soul Asylum this summer. Meanwhile, the band is touring with bassist John Fields, who also played on ?The Silver Lining.

oh this is gnr`s end ::)

he can presumably play for SA in August, but if GNR tours in the fall, im sure hed be back for that

He probably will find a way to do both, without anything interfering.

you drama queen  :hihi:


...it says helps, there is no mention of leaving GnR to go with Soul Asylum.

If anyone were to quit the band after their first successful tour since 1993, would absolutely be the worst move ever

Hey, this might be good.
If Tommy has time for this,
Are CD plans done?

Speculation, yes,
But optimism, y'know,
Is a Guns fan's life!!!

Whoa, GNR is definitely reuniting.  No in all seriousness though I'd say CD is probably completed from Tommy's parts.  I'm sure the drum and bass tracks are squared away.  If anything probalby just minor vocal and guitar parts.  That'd free him up until the LA show for KROQ and whatever happens after that.

Old news  ::)

That is easy. Let SA open for gnr and he can do both shows  : ok:

That's a good motherfucking idea!  They'll both have new discs.

I'd like to see that. Lot of work for Tommy though. Has that ever happened? Meaning 2 shows back to back at the same venue, different bands, but a common member?

Liquid Tension Experiment opened for Dream Theater for a while. The guitarist and the drummer played in both bands.

i hope he goes back to soul asylum and stays there  : ok:

This was much better than the 15 other threads that already talk about Tommy and Soul Asylum

does anybody really care about Soul Asylum? :-\

yeah... camp freddy, panic channel... dave navorro is in both them.

The Revolting Cocks open for Ministry all the time.  Al Jourgensen sings for both bands.

Black Label Society is Headlining the second stage @ ozzfest this year and Ozzy plays main stage....Zakk Wylde sings and plays guitar for BLS and palys guitar for Ozzy : ok:

They're an ok band. They've opened before Gn'R in the past.

Which band member died?

I have one of their albums called, Grave Dancers Union, it's pretty good and features their biggest track, Runaway Train.

just looking on their web site, they have a stack of alums out:

Soul Asylum is one of the best bands to come out of Minnesota (not counting .. Prince).  They are classic.  If Tommy wasn't in Gn'R, then Soul Asylum is the band I'd want him to be a part of.   : ok:

I do. I love them. I have all their albums even Times Incinerator(only available on cassette). You could easily call them a light rock band now or a folk rock band. They're stuff in the 80's was a bit more punk rock. They're an amazing live band and Dave's voice sounds as good now(probably better) than it did 15 years ago. he's not an amazing singer but there's something about his voice that I really like and I guess not being a great singer in the classical sense makes it easier for him to keep his voice as he ages. I'd like it if Tommy went with Soul Asylum permanently. It'd be a good fit. they're freinds and all from Minnesota.

I witnessed their rise from obscurity in the 90's on MTV...I had grave dancers union, IMO 'Somebody to Shove" was an awesome tune but by the time Runawaytrain rolled around and Black Gold or whatever and they got the guy from the TV show cheers on their video...I was like "alright I'm out, fuck these guys" I'm just surprised that they retain a fan base cuz i felt their music was (is) pretty boring and weak...but to each their own....I'm really surprised that GnR fans are such avid Soul Asylum fans... :o

I got into them around the time of "Grave Dancers Union" also. They have been a band that I can listen to their CD once or twice and than I have to put it away for awhile before I want to hear it again.

I'd say thats the one improvement on their new disc, I've actually had it in pretty heavy rotation on my car CD player.

Two new dates for Soul Asylum:

9/23 Utah State Fair Park Salt Lake City, UT
9/30 Harriet Island St. Paul, MN 


Conflicting dates with GNR on the 23rd of September....Curious as to why Soul Asylum would schedule same date if Tommy is a full time member of this band which it appears he is.  Seems like Tommy has to make a choice but apparently no one on this board has any concerns about the whole Tommy/GNR/Soul Asylum issue...I won't be worried if no one else is....Nu GNR is no GNR without Tommy....IMHO

Yes Tommy is very important to GnR. Watch the beginning of the T.W.A.T. video from Hammerstein on the 12th for all you need to know on that.

No he is not the main Bass player for Soul Asylum. Tommy only plays on two songs on their new album. I forgot the other players name.

He is in the picture on the band's website and just played all of their August/September dates..If he was not in the band than why all of the press/tour appearances?  They also indicate that Tommy is the only bass player that the previous bass player (Karl) would have accepted if the band was to continue after his death...sounds like Tommy is pretty important to Soul Asylum..

Tommy would be important in any band. Check the credits on their latest CD. When Tommy has GnR dates he will be replaced in Soul Asylum. :peace:

I suppose Tommy probably doesn't like playing in a THREE guitar players band anymore. Maybe he prefers a more simple band, just more real. He has more fun!
I'm with Tommy on this one. I'm a fan but I'm already sick and tired of this THREE guitar players band. It musn't be enjoyable to play on a THREE guitar players band. You must feel like an Axl's servant, not as a recognized musician. Tommy is a musician. and he probably wants to be recognized, not be one of the EIGHT servants of Monseigneur Axl "Louis XIV" Rose.

When is this ass (NESQUICK) going to be banned for spamming the board? That is what he does.......thread after thread after thread of SPAM.? : ok:

:confused:
you are so boring
we know what you think
stop posting the SAME shit

That show was fun this summer. : ok:

You don't want to see anything, you don't want to hear anything. Some of you are trully blind. You don't have to study in Harvard to see and feel Tommy doesn't feel confortable in GN'R anymore (especially since the Euro Tour started, but in fact it started before). It's been a while. Stay blind, don't hear anything, I prefer to see things as they are, positive and negative things.

The 3 guitar players time bomb and ego bandmates conflicts starts now. Now, believe what you want. That's in the air for a long time.

Just a last thing: IF Tommy left GN'R one day or another, don't blame him. He doesn't deserve to be blamed. He has been loyal for 8 years.

I'm one of the blind and deaf ones, I guess.  Where is this rumor - Tommy being unhappy - coming from?   

Nesquick's ass ;D

This guy (nesquick) is so annoying he makes Gonnorhea look pleasant.  *lol*  Seriously you really have a huge psychological problem dude.  If you do not like How Axl and GNR do things then stop following them and go follow Slash.  That simple.  You are obviously not a fan of the new GNR so stop pesting us people who are.  Jesus Christ!

John Fields plays bass for Soul Asylum when Tommy is busy with GnR. This has been known for around 6 months now.

Tommy is perfectly happy in GnR at present.

That was my understanding as well...he certainly looked happy when I saw them at the Hammerstein in NYC.  But what do I know?
