God bless this band. Paul Westerberg will never get the props he deserves. Dude’s a genius. They made songs that will make you fall down laughing and turn around and make you bawl your eyes out. The greatness of this band cannot be understated
I think is the idea of every album by the replacements, sorry ma is the drunk garage album, hootenanny for moments is dark and a little experimental sound, let it be is the sink of drugs and melancholy
I love that. Was it something specific about Tim? Or just what you happened to be listening to while getting clean? (In addiction to being a Mats fan, I’m a recovering alcoholic and other people’s stories always interest me.)
To be fair; it's pretty much the most upbeat song about pre-paring to "self-delete" ever recorded... that air of melancholy is definitely woven in there.
It may be any smokes, I was able to see the replacements, I don't recall too much of the show ( 1989 ) but when I'd originally listen to this I heard "and he smokes" ... Paul smoked and drank... the phrasing an( d falling off ) seems more right. Paul Simon says the listener completes the song. This is an apt saying for the layers of understanding for songs that breathe include this definitely. Jesus is the greatest gift of all. His love is the greatest of all possible abundance.
The Replacements are an all day happiness!!!! Walking down the street with Replacements in your ear. How cool is that!!! I know people struggle with life but music helps
Especially at the time. It's refreshing to hear bands like the Smiths, The Police, and the Replacements when listening to 80s music. Everyone else was copying Phil Collins and Prince and trying to do that massive gated reverb sound that doesn't even sound like a drum. It's great that these bands had a sound that was new for its time but still sounds like an actual drum.
Great song on a great album by a great f’n band. And one of the most unexpected parts of being a fan of the Replacements all these years is when you meet another one, you’ve got a little bond and they turn out to be pretty interesting
I know this point will probably get lost now that the sequencing of songs on an album no longer really matters, but this song came right after Skyway (which is also one of my favorites). Probably one of the best one two punches to close out an album.
That is a GREAT point - I spent three days in the Skyway in Minneapolis during a Masters nationals looking for the Skyway before I realized I was in the Skyway. I thought it was a tram LOL. High art 🙏
@@ZoydWheeler Hi, Eric. We in Canada have similar 1960s solutions for the fact that's it's really cold in the winter (tunnels between the office buildings,etc.) Our grandparents were right all along when they said "just stop complaining and put on a sweater for Christ's sake."
Sequencing on an album still matters to me! I always believed it would have been really cool if the mats made can’t hardly wait a “secret track” at the end of the album. So the back of the record would list skyway as the last song
In the 80s I was a teenage skateboard punk -- was in the mall, and I shoplifted the cassette for The Replacements Pleased To Meet Me, purely based on how the cover drew me to it and anxiety of getting caught. I had no idea who the band was. I was listening to the Dead Kennedys, Black Flag, etc. Today, over 30 years later, The Replacements is one of my favorite bands ever. I wish we had talent like this today. I follow music pretty closely but most of the stuff I hear today is milquetoast bore-town -- it's all digital and sounds the same. I long for the days when we can see another small town band rise up with real instruments and create genius like this band did.
For thr kids who dont know why they weren't bigger two things. 1. They were raging alcoholics. To the point they couldnt perform. 2. There was a concept of "selling out" that doesnt exist anymore and The Replacements didnt want to sell out. That desire to be BIG. Weighed on them and they imploded.
I’m here because of Season 2 of The Bear. I’ve seen The Replacements several times including when the broke up on stage in Chicago. But after hearing this on The Bear I had to look this video up. It’s a great chapter in my life and some of my photos from that concert I saw them break up made it to a coffee table book about them.
Saw them in 1991 in an Arlington TX bowling alley/music venue. I couldn't afford the t-shirt but I loved the music! The venue has since been torn down...
This song was originally supposed to be on Tim. The Tim version on their best of, 'All for Nothing' is the greatest Replacements song in the history of mankind. No coincidence Bob is playing guitar on that one.
easy gun-to-the-head pick for favourite song of all time. there's been times when i maybe go a wee while, not too long, without listening to it and worrying it'll have lost its luster the next time i spin it again. but nah, still just as gripping from beginning to end as ever honestly. airtight songwriting. intimidatingly beautiful. bless you guys. bless you bob.
As a dude who was steeped in "Sorry Ma. . . ", "Stink", and "Hootenanny", I'm sure I poo-pooed this song/album when it came out. But now. . . damn. This is just good shit. Really good shit. Love the horns so much on this.
Love Paul Westerbergs voice. He wasn't interested in being a vocals rock star, but really, he coulda kept up with any of the soul-inspired classic rock n roll singers of the late 60s, early 70s.
Can’t hardly believe that Jesus is so tight with smokes. Anyway, Replacements with a horn section-brilliant! And Alex Chilton on guitar! Can’t hardly be better.
Hi, Almada. I had no idea that Alex Chilton played on this album. I read a biography about Alex called A Man Called Destruction. In one of the later chapters, Alex is down on his luck when the Replacements song comes out. At first he thinks these young guys from Minneapolis are making fun of me. Then he meets them and realizes their Alex Chilton song is a sincere tribute. It may have been a case of inter-generational broken telephone. Like when a young actor referred to Meryl Streep as the GOAT and at first she was insulted because she thought it meant the animal. Anyway, thanks again for the info.
The bear season 2 bought me here! Hell yea love it been on hard repeat since i heard it on the show 👍👍🎧
same!!!
Same, love the show and can't stop listening to this song.
Same here! Such a great band.
Me loving this band since high school brought me here hahahahah
me too bro
The best band that did everything to not become the all American band.
God bless them.
Rip Bob.
They didnt became R.E.M and took 80 million dollars.
Geez Louise
@@winstrola.d3282 I'm not mad at REM for that.
Give me give me two laps cough cough cough cough 😎😉😅lol
The best band no one ever heard of.
God bless this band. Paul Westerberg will never get the props he deserves. Dude’s a genius. They made songs that will make you fall down laughing and turn around and make you bawl your eyes out. The greatness of this band cannot be understated
Imo one of the most underrated bands ever. They're never mentioned enough.
fucking A!
When those horns kick in... straight to the heart.
if you like this you might like my brothers music. his name is Stu Morris
Should hear the "Tim" version. Bob's guitar & a little different lyrics. Interesting.
Stuff of legends 😊
"Straight to the heart from Heaven!"
Tim is the album that got me off drugs. Pleased to meet me was the beginning of a new life.
I think is the idea of every album by the replacements, sorry ma is the drunk garage album, hootenanny for moments is dark and a little experimental sound, let it be is the sink of drugs and melancholy
💛✨💓
I love that. Was it something specific about Tim? Or just what you happened to be listening to while getting clean? (In addiction to being a Mats fan, I’m a recovering alcoholic and other people’s stories always interest me.)
I got sober in 1990. The Replacements were the first concert I went to sober with my friends in the program. Still sober 30 years later.
@@DickBooCocky Do they play the song "The last"?
this song always makes me kind of teary eyed. i dont know why exactly. Westerberg's vocals just tug at me or something. love this band forever. ♥
To be fair; it's pretty much the most upbeat song about pre-paring to "self-delete" ever recorded... that air of melancholy is definitely woven in there.
Lyrics are deeply honest, crafting an emotional scenery of a down moment in life.
Dripping with nostalgia
Ballsy 80 proof genius.
Understandable
Amazing underrated song. The brass in it is the icing on the cake.
Props to whoever did 'The Bear' soundtrack. Fak they know their music.
For real. Amazing needle drops.
I watched the movie just for this song.
I have to play this daily, its magical..Jesus rides beside me, he never buys any smokes..for that line alone I love it ..perfect
Simply one of the greatest lyric lines ever. By anybody. Period. Pure Paul Westerberg stroke of genius.
I'm pretty sure it's "Jesus rides beside me, he never buys and he smokes," because Paul's co-pilot is a moocher.
Jesus rides beside me. He never fights and he smokes. ...this is how my ear perceived it.
"Jesus rides beside me. He never buys any smokes."
It may be any smokes, I was able to see the replacements, I don't recall too much of the show ( 1989 ) but when I'd originally listen to this I heard "and he smokes" ... Paul smoked and drank... the phrasing an( d falling off ) seems more right. Paul Simon says the listener completes the song. This is an apt saying for the layers of understanding for songs that breathe include this definitely. Jesus is the greatest gift of all. His love is the greatest of all possible abundance.
The Replacements are an all day happiness!!!! Walking down the street with Replacements in your ear. How cool is that!!! I know people struggle with life but music helps
I almost feel like crying when I listen to The Replacements. Tears of happiness and sadly at the same time.
Pretty sure I could have this song playing all day and not grow tired of it.
An utterly perfect song.
And utterly perfect video.
@@theKurtHoffmann its the same video piece that was that was used for ''the ledge'',just different song.
Indeed!
demo versions are even better!
@@jamesvoneschen6603 Ooh, where do I check those out? Thanks for the tip!
2022 and this song still hits me... Hard.
im mexican, but if you don´t know the replacements, you don´t know about 80´s rock----Nothing!
This album has the best sounding snare cracks ever!
Chris is such an underrated drummer.
And kudos to Jim Dickinson and Ardent Studios.
Ah my friends......
@@christophermckinney4756 I was really impressed with this solo work additionally..and his art work is wow

That is a grea point. I have never met a Replacements fan that is not interesting.
So true
Can't Hardly Wait..A cult classic 🎥
Thank you, season 2 "the bear " ep5
I just watched that episode 🐻 loving The Bear.
Most sublime 3 minutes of pure rock n roll
Brilliant song. Over 35 years after it was released. Still a helluva banger.
The horn section is so great.
Pleased To Meet Me is an album right up there with the greats. Like Sticky Fingers or Asbury Park, you just keep finding new things to love about it.
Such an underrated band.
They definitely influenced bigger bands that came after them.
how are they underrated critics love them lol
@@anaccount1005 basically their biggest song on youtube has 205k views....theyre underrated
@@hurpaderpp lmao ur just wrong
@@anaccount1005 200k views meanwhile a band they influenced (green day) has 600m views on a single song
@@anaccount1005 you smoking crack?
One of the best (and first) alt rock bands. LOVED seeing them live in Minneapolis early in their career.
love the opening riff!
That guitar riff was played by Mr. Alex Chilton himself, believe it or not!
He’s actually playing the guitar fills, i.e. what you get at 00:55, not the main riff

I agree about the sequencing on the record. Perfect. Also, opening with IOU is a first-round knockout.
Damn this song is like a gut punch! It hits me where it hurts. I feel so sentimental 😎
Omg me too. Every time.
One of the TOP 5 American bands ever.
No doubt!!!!!
*Bands
Exactly
@@brianmac3903 true
the first note takes me back to a great time in life.
same
This is inadvertently one of the best film clips ever.
My favorite song from one of my favorite albums - I'll never get tired of listening to it....
The rest of the world are a bunch of morons,,,... for not LOVING this song. pure GOLD.
One of their best songs!
One of the songs I listened a lot to in college, had it on several mix tapes. Hearing it on the Bear triggered so much nostalgia like a punch.
Life brought me here.
love you placemats
I deeply like these guys' songs. An amazing band
Same here
Amazing band, great to hear after all these years.
Sipping a milkshake in Grants, New Mexico 2009. A perfect day in July. Forever etched by this great track.
I've never stopped listening to them! Saw them in Detroit! Best concert ever!
Literally an effortlessly great music video

Iconic band, album, and tune 😊❤️☀️🎶🎼
EXACTLY
Those hard and crisp horns really do add an extra dimension to this tune, brings me back each time, even in the year of Covi Variant 2021.
the memphis horns is what it is
one of the greatest bands over. one of the greatest songs.
Hurry up hurry up...I love this band forever and ever. So many great songs.
Is that part of your sentence "Forever And Ever" a reference to Paul Westerberg's song Love You In The Fall???
Best alternative band of all time❤
I love this song
Such a great song. It’s crazy how fashion trends in cycles. This could be a video for an indie band in 2023 and everyone would be like “cool style”.
Thanks chef

Jesus rides beside me. But he never buys any smokes ❤
What a masterpiece!

I LOVE this song!!!!
just listening to this song brings back to a time with its own hurts and joys but the songs...the songs remain after time and memories fade.
This was me as a young man. from the first note takes me right back to those good old days.
Gran série el 🐻 Oso !!!
If there's any justice, The Bear will do for this song (and The Replacements) what Stranger Things did for Running Up That Hill.
One of the greatest songs ever.
True
Can't Hardly Wait brought me here 😢
This remaster sounds fucking mindblowingly incredible. Straight up the best remaster I've ever heard from any band.
This song got me through some tough times
Aloha. Maybe not their best song, but my personal favorite.
It's so hard to believe how happy this song sounds considering what it's about
RIP Slim Dunlap, the guitarist on this song
The drum part at 1:58 is really awesome, I LOVE IT
This music was part of the soundtrack of just about every college kid in the late 80's, early 90's. I know, I was there.
This song melts my ❤️
Paul Westerberg is one of the great song writers. I hated these guys in concert back in the day, but their albums are so precious to me.
Saw them in 1991 in an Arlington TX bowling alley/music venue. I couldn't afford the t-shirt but I loved the music! The venue has since been torn down...
Its aged so damn. Sounds so fresh everytime it comes on my playlist
Perfect.

Could be my favorite thing
aayyy i get it
Pretty sure this is the greatest song ever written
Great music, nice singer !
No kidding, Paul has a powerful voice!!!
Best band ever.
Reminds me of Chicago and the metro circa 82
easy gun-to-the-head pick for favourite song of all time. there's been times when i maybe go a wee while, not too long, without listening to it and worrying it'll have lost its luster the next time i spin it again. but nah, still just as gripping from beginning to end as ever honestly. airtight songwriting. intimidatingly beautiful. bless you guys. bless you bob.
I saw them in ‘82 at Duffeys, 26th and 26th in Minneapolis…
Great band in a great bar!
GTA 90s RP brought me here, good tune!
Can't Hardly Wait!
Great song
Thank you Lord!
As a dude who was steeped in "Sorry Ma. . . ", "Stink", and "Hootenanny", I'm sure I poo-pooed this song/album when it came out. But now. . . damn. This is just good shit. Really good shit. Love the horns so much on this.
This show has the best friggin sounds
Thanks, chef!
been a long time and this song still cuts me to the bone; hoping one day I'll find someone who understand that
Thank you for everything, this song gave me hope
Love Paul Westerbergs voice. He wasn't interested in being a vocals rock star, but really, he coulda kept up with any of the soul-inspired classic rock n roll singers of the late 60s, early 70s.

It was one of the best episodes I've seen in a long time. Made me smile all through it
@@blitzboy227 such a great show
same, loved that episode
This song should have been well known by every music consuming American, but several were denied that pleasure .
Commercial radio stations run on algorithms, even back in the 80's
The greatest 'Mats song ever!
a perfect perfect video. I didn't know I was willing to wait 30 years for this.
Remindes my of great friends not here but music and good memories live forever
