Goo Goo Dolls sound like Mats songs with different words and more ambition than soul.

Neil Young's career "fizzled" in 1995?
Neils career didn't fizzle.He is a mainstay of the music world.It just seemed like he was flooding the market with new material and records began to blur into one another after a while,with each new release(I'm guessing)selling less and less.Van Morrison is kind of the same way. I think Neil fans want all the stuff from the vaults that he has been promising every x-mas for the past 15 years.

I wonder if he's written things that he hasn't released because they sound too Matsy.

Can you think of any PW solo songs that would sound at home on a Mats album? I can't.

I think Lou overplayed his hand as a lyrical shock rocker on Twilight & Ecstasy. His attemps at it seemed embarassing.Where as Harrys Circumcision was the real deal to me.His New Yorkness on Twilight seemed a little like posturing as well.Hated the CD cover on Twilight.Love Hooky Wooky though.Hilarious portrait of jealousy.The song he had on the Friends soundtrack "You Will Know You Were Loved" was really good.

Seems alot of musical artists have similar peaks and valleys in their careers.Like they start out being ahead of their time or better than most others of their time,then they seem to fade for a while,then they come back with a great album and sort of get on a roll and then it feels like overkill.
Like Lou Reed had The Velvets and early solo career,then the introspective Arista years,then came back with New York,Songs For Drella and Magic & Loss,but after that it seems like there's not much interest.
Same with Neil Young with his great career,then came the Geffen years,then the return to form with Freedom,Ragged Glory,Harvest Moon,then by Broken Arrow or as early as Mirror Ball it seemed like it fizzled.
Does Paul follow this trend?Has he had his renaissance or is he still in the wilderness?Any other artists that follow this trend?

I think a novel idea would be for Paul to re-record a mats song and put it out as a single.People always say the mats were ahead of their time.Why not put out one of those should have been hits all polished up.Maybe a whole album.I personally would think wtf,but that seems to be the kind of move that sells records.Obviousness.

Sounds like he was getting in his Jimmy Webb mode to write some songs for Glen Campbell.

Not why you think they should or shouldn't,but why they themselves haven't? And by The Replacements I mean Paul and Tommy.(Although I wish Chris and Slim would be a part of it.I'm sure Bob would be there in spirit.) Does anybody care to speculate exactly why?

I think the Come Feel Me Tremble DVD is way cool.I love it.Paul talking about the Mats albums is classic.It's not a documentary about his entire life & career.It's more of a gift from out of nowhere that Paul put together.The DVD not being chaptered to me is just Paul putting his stamp on it. If this Color Me Obsessed captures the rush I felt being a Mats fan I'm all for it.I think that is the point of it. The DVD I want to see is of the professionally shot concert footage in the vaults.Not to mention whatever footage has been captured at First Ave.

I think Tommy said something about how he can go out and start a band and play music with alot of people and have fun and that he wasn't about to do something with Paul and not call it the Replacements and not reap what would come with a reunion yet still have to deal with all the headaches of working with Paul and putting something together and people judging it.

Live at Lingerie was the first live Mats show I heard so that one has always been a sentimental fave.The Maxwells show is such a great combination of performance & quaility recording.I think Pauls voice sounded really cool in that post hardcore,pre-Bob firing,anthemic era of the Mats.I've been digging that 7th St. Entry show from archive.org.

Any opinions on your favorite Mats/PW live shows? Are there holy grail shows from different tours?(Audio or video).
I've been listening to live Velvet Underground,Television,Modern Lovers lately.Guess I'm bored of studio recordings at the moment.
I used to have the Mats 1986 Cabaret Metro show.I don't know if the tape was sped up or what but they tore through that set at a manic pace from what I remember.

There was a guitar magazine some years back that had a poster of a guitar Paul decorated.Does this ring a bell to anyone?
