Slim was the man.  Don't Tell a Soul and All Shook Down always got a bad rap, but there are so many great songs on those records, and Slim was a major part of it.  I can't imagine we even get those last few Replacements records without him being (kind of) a senior influence.

I played my final high school football game in his hometown of Plainview.  CSB.

Damn those Teles sound fantastic.

When I hear arrangements like that I get the same eerie feeling I get with Dave Grohl's stuff -- maybe he had a whole lot more to do with his bigger band's sound than I thought.

There's no doubt that both Slim and Dave were monstrous parts of the sound of the bands they were sidemen in.  Both the Mats and Nirvana sounded quite a bit different after they joined.

On a similar note whenever I listen to Bash & Pop I always wonder if that's Tommy wearing Paul's influence on his sleeve or a reflection of his contribution to the Mats.

The backing vocals in the video above are absolutely late-era 'mats material.
