Yeah. It could be worst, tho. He's got his fair share of high profile musicians singing his praises pretty much all the time: Billie Joe Armstrong and Ryan Adams, just to name a few..
He's been too contrary and self-defeating. After the Replacements he had a huge solo deal and was poised to become a alt-music giant, but he suddenly decides to be a "traditional singer-songwriter" and churn out crap. Then in the early 00's he made a huge creative comeback, but it was too low-key to make a impact. Paul's problem is that he admits he's a terrible judge of his own work and can't discern between his best and worst work, but he doesn't want to listen to anyone else, either.
@@rowhill59 they do, i believe they rejected the offer to be inducted or nominated or something. i read this somewhere and i was not surprised at all. thats 100% 'mats
@@rowhill59 Paul is great, but Cheap Trick sold what , 1000x more than the Replacements. Commercial viability is a thing. Both genres were and are great, but have to tip the hat at Cheap Trick for selling maybe 30 Million records more than the Replacments ever did.
Well Paul Westerberg you have too let the bad time's roll 🥐 it's why's a way to let them known love that 👁️ Love And they all have to love, it's the prices of the universe learning to give me you yourself love, love is not a joke. Love You Paul Westerberg LOVE ❣️❤️❤️.
Well, the good times hide. And so do I. Out of my control I dig a hole. I'm gonna let the bad times roll. I'm gonna let the bad times roll. If that's all the time that you've got. Then, I'd rather not. Waste my life on hold. I'm gonna let the bad times roll. I'm gonna let the bad times roll. Just add water, I'm disappointed. Just like my father, I missed the point. I need someone, not infection. Just add water, I'm disappointed. The good times hide. So will I. Watch the world roll by. From my hole. I'm gonna let the bad times roll. I'm gonna let the bad times rroll
I remember when the record came out, less than a year after 9/11. I've always thought that may have been part of the influence. Like to say how f-ing depressing the events were, pushing any sane person to withdraw, and let it roll.
Greatest songwriter (melody and lyrics) of the last 50 years (along with Neil Young) with the Replacements, pretty good solo too. This is not really anywhere as near as high as Paul can rise.
It's a masterful performance of an amazing song. The world isn't always a happy place and I'm grateful for artists like Paul who aren't afraid to write/sing about real feelings. There's plenty of happy pop shit if that's what you're after.
He should be recognized as an American music legend. He's far too obscure to so much of the music world.
Yeah. It could be worst, tho. He's got his fair share of high profile musicians singing his praises pretty much all the time: Billie Joe Armstrong and Ryan Adams, just to name a few..
And he absolutely is to many of us. It hardly matters to me he isn't on the same mantle as Michael Stipe or Eddie Vedder. He's our champion.
@@allrain Haha Paul said Ryan deserved to get kicked in the teeth...
@@xxHouseInMotionxx he does

one man, an amp and a guitar.
Genius. I've loved Paul since 86. He's lost on so many people.
Who is Dee Dee? Tx
iirc, Dee Dee had just died a day or two before this taping.
yep, listened for 30 seconds, and it got lost BEHIND Me......where did iT go? iDo NOT CARE!
@@gergsar Dee Dee Ramone
@@gergsar Dee was his wife she played in the, shit I can’t remember Joey is his son he is divorced
Can’t believe this was almost 20 years ago. Seems like yesterday. I remember sitting watching it. My son was like 8. I was still in my 20’s. Jeez.
This is too good for the masses.
I remember watching this the night it aired and I choked up with the Joey & Dee Dee line.....
Yep
There's never going to be American singer-songwriter that captures my heart the way he does
This was a risk then, imagine now? Westerberg is a treasure in my world.
the moment when you know what a real and true artist exists....thank you Paul
"I'm disappointed... (but) not tonight." *cries* That one line says so much.
Incredibly warm and personal. God bless Joey and Dee Dee...and Paul.
Pretty amazing how so many incredible songwriters are from MLPS...
No kidding! PW, Tommy Stinson, Dan Wilson, Bob Mould, Grant Hart, Dave Pirner, Jordan Gatesmith, Craig Finn, Kat Bjelland, etc...the list goes on.
Thomas William .....Both Westaberg and Pirner belong in the rock and roll hall of fame. If cheap trick and green day are in these 2 r a NO brainer
@@remo241 This guy didn't even mention Dylan or Prince, to put things in literally the starkest possible perspective.

Brilliant song writer and awesome voice 😊❤️🎶😊❤️🎶

The greatest American songwriter ever...period..no one comes close

Dylan would agree😅

Real music.
Paul westerburg from the replacement’s been around for yrs Yea his solo stuff I like, I love his song.
"Hello. Howareyou. Nicetomeetchoo. I'm Paul."
That unlikely moment a Replacement met the Olsen twins.
Well Paul Westerberg you have too let the bad time's roll 🥐 it's why's a way to let them known love that 👁️ Love And they all have to love, it's the prices of the universe learning to give me you yourself love, love is not a joke. Love You Paul Westerberg LOVE ❣️❤️❤️.
Paul Westerburg is a genius.
My favourite songwriter
Saw him on this tour. And that was his stage setup. except by the end, there were a bunch of folks sitting up there on the couch and chairs with him.
Wish Paul would release his newest creations on CD and records. From his basement to the small label to the mom & pop record shop. Why not Paul?
the man who invented the alt rock genre
And Tim Rogers...
Masterful
You can't get cooler than that
The REPLACEMENTS 👌
Well, the good times hide.
And so do I.
Out of my control
I dig a hole.
I'm gonna let the bad times roll.
I'm gonna let the bad times roll.
If that's all the time
that you've got.
Then, I'd rather not.
Waste my life on hold.
I'm gonna let the bad times roll.
I'm gonna let the bad times roll.
Just add water,
I'm disappointed.
Just like my father,
I missed the point.
I need someone,
not infection.
Just add water,
I'm disappointed.
The good times hide.
So will I.
Watch the world roll by.
From my hole.
I'm gonna let the bad times roll.
I'm gonna let the bad times rroll

its been shit since since then and seems to be getting even worse
I relate
"Joey and Dee Dee home" shortly after Dee Dee's death.
who are they?
The Ramones. Johnny and Tommy too since he sang this. Life is too damn short.
"Welcome Poll Westabug"
Greatest songwriter (melody and lyrics) of the last 50 years (along with Neil Young) with the Replacements, pretty good solo too. This is not really anywhere as near as high as Paul can rise.

standard tuning on this, its all cowboys chords. fucking brilliant all the same though.
Havent heard the term "cowboy chords" explain if youre still around?
He plays root notes and really tough to figure out melodic "cowboy chords". Love that term Billy!!!
Most definitely not standard. The tuning is DGBDGB.
Anyone know the tuning for this song?
DGBGBD
One of our treasures
And why he’d pick this tune for television is beyond me.
Not his own best friend
:)
I wonder if Paul knew who the twins were or the twins knew who Paul was. And if Jay knew who anyone was.
What guitar is this anybody know
Appears to be a Fender Thinline Telecaster (which I believe is a semi-hallow body).
When Paul met the twins. The thing that should not be.
Are those the Olsen twins?
Punk rock tie-dye suit
amazing. Better than Bob Dylan, more original too.
Steve Fisher "Kids say the darndest things" 😆
yes. Better than Mozart, too.
Anyone know what tuning?
I've been playing it DGBDGB...I'm not sure if it's 100% correct- but it sounds close.
Eric M any clue to the chords?
There’s a weird tuning that Paul uses on most of the songs on those albums. Go to some Mats or PW tab sites and you’ll find it.
D#, G#, C, D#, G#, C
Just add water
Right on paul!! Love the way he just tossed the guitar on the couch. Jay Leno was always a tool bag!!! Haa he didn't get it at all.
I’m confused. He was just on the Larry Sanders show
Alright Jay Leno was always cool , now he is super cool , not as super artfully cool as Paul of course . 💚
I saw him do this set at the old Guthrie Theater in Minneapolis.
Omg, the most depressing number. I love the Replacements and Paul’s earlier solo stuff, but this song makes Morrissey seem hilarious.
It's a masterful performance of an amazing song. The world isn't always a happy place and I'm grateful for artists like Paul who aren't afraid to write/sing about real feelings. There's plenty of happy pop shit if that's what you're after.
@@ih8music YUP! well said.
What the hell world u been living in? Fairy land?
Paul has ''let the bad time roll'' ever since "Don't tell a soul".
suicaine gratification is a masterpiece
wovokanarchy Oh Archie. Drink some more beer you "old school" hell raiser you.
wovokanarchy go grump somewhere necessary
All Shook Down, 14 Songs, Stereo, Folker... all great albums
All Shook Down is a fine album that contradicts your theory immediately
Dee was his wife, Joey son
Entirely incorrect. It's a reference to the Ramones.
