They kind of reunited for that Replacements compilation on Rhino. Slim wasn’t on that, Paul and Tommy were, and Chris did back up vocals. Joshe Freese played drums. I assume everyone still lives in the Minneapolis area, it’s not like they have to travel any great distance….I have no clue where Josh lives. Still it’s Tommy’s show….but come on why not?

I agree. Why not? But Chris would be the sticking point I think. I don’t think he ever wants to touch a drumset again.

True,but nostalgia and legend trump even the best song for people. It would be amazing to see them both up there.

I feel a little bad for Tommy in that it’s been 20 years since the Mats broke up and he’s developed into a darn good songwriter and performer in his own right, yet when he goes back home for a show all everybody wants to know is, “Will Paul be there?”
