PleasedToMeetMe Posted April 19, 2014 Share Posted April 19, 2014 I saw The Replacements at Riot Fest in Chicago this last September and it was fucking epic. If I went to see them and Billie Joe was part of the band, I would shit my pants instantly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
desertrose Posted April 19, 2014 Share Posted April 19, 2014 Green Day’s Billie Joe Armstrong joins The Replacements during second Coachella set Coachella’s second weekend is under way now, and The Replacements took the stage tonight for the second of the reunited band’s appearances at the two-weekend fest — and dropped a big surprise on the crowd, as Green Day’ Billie Joe Armstrong joined the ‘Mats for part of the band’s set while Paul Westerberg played and sang from an on-stage couch. Westerberg came onto the stage at the opening of the band’s set walking with a cane, and some tweets from audience members suggest he’d hurt his back, hence the need to hit the couch on stage. But it’s not entirely clear whether something actually was wrong, or whether it was just a joke. Reports are still coming in, and we’ll update this as the evening progresses. But below you can see some photos and video from tonight’s Replacements set at Coachella. http://www.slicingupeyeballs.com/2014/04/18/replacements-billie-joe-armstrong-photo-video/ Instagram Video grimygoods 1 hour ago · Coachella Outdoor Theatre Real stoked that at least 80% of the people at #Coachella don't know what a GOOD band is; nice up close spot for #TheReplacements.

desertrose Posted April 19, 2014 Share Posted April 19, 2014 Coachella: Green Day's Billie Joe Armstrong Joins The Replacements (for a Night) After what was regarded as a lackluster first weekend set, the Replacements returned to Coachella's Outdoor Stage with a vengeance, recruiting Green Day singer Billie Joe Armstrong to fill in for ailing frontman Paul Westerberg, who was laid up on the couch -- literally. Complaining of having thrown out his back, Westerberg spent most of the weekend two set on his back, laying on a sofa while playing guitar and sitting up to tackle vocals. The night's surprise, bringing out Armstrong, came early in the set and featured some of the band's most beloved songs, including "Color Me Impressed," "Can't Hardly Wait" and "Alex Chilton." Fairly well-rehearsed, possibly as a result of the Replacements' own influence on the punk rock star, Armstrong played with the band for their whole set some songs more ably than others. That prompted bassist Tommy Stinson to crack at one point, "You'll get it Billie; It's in E like all the others." They then proceeded to knock out several more favorites from the Replacements canon, including ""I'm In Trouble," "Kiss Me on the Bus," "Tommy Gets His Tonsils Out," "I Don't Know" and "IOU." Westerberg called Armstrong's addition an "expansion" of the band. Compared to the Replacements' April 11 performance, their first in California since 1991, the week two appearance was much better attended and the band, despite Westerberg's injury, seemed far more invested. The addition of Armstrong, who seemed excited to be essentially fronting a band that informed his own music, certainly helped. And even he cracked, "Dreams really do come true!" The band looked better, too, dressed in matching tan suits which Armstrong also wore (his hair, much longer than on the Grammys earlier this year, was scraggly and he sported a full beard) except for Westerberg, who broke form and went low-key with sneakers and a khaki jacket emblazoned with a giant P. The woe-is-me act didn't hold up with all Replacements loyalists, some of whom snickered that laying down to play (then standing for the last three) felt more like shtick. But according to festival insiders, Westerberg had been experiencing pain. Regardless, the set marked a triumphant return for a band that should be relishing in its victory lap not mocking it. http://www.hollywoodreporter.com/earshot/coachella-2014-billie-joe-armstrong-697688 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DookieLukie Posted April 19, 2014 Share Posted April 19, 2014 Most of the crowd: "Who the fuck is this hobo playing with the Replacements?"
