Stinson Goes Solo

VILLAGE GORILLA HEAD
Tommy Stinson
(Sanctuary/EMI)


Once a Replacement, always a Replacement.
Sure, Tommy Stinson has spent nearly a decade collecting cheques from Axl Rose in his role as GNR bassist. But the world-weary ballads, choppy rockers and gnarly post-punk bursts on Stinson's casually engaging solo set Village Gorilla Head confirm he still owes a far greater musical debt to old bandmate Paul Westerberg (and predecessors like Dylan and the Stones).
Now that we've crossed that bridge, Tommy, how about you and Paul set up that reunion tour?

Or at least Bash & Pop. HMK
