Page "The Replacements (band)" Paragraph 10

The Replacements began to distance themselves from the hardcore punk scene after the release of Stink.

" We write songs rather than riffs with statements ," Westerberg later stated.

Inspired by other rock subgenres, he had been writing songs that incorporated a wide range of musical styles.

He even wrote an acoustic ballad, " You're Getting Married One Night ", but when he played it to the rest of the band, it was met with silence.

" Save that for your solo album, Paul ", Bob Stinson said, " That ain't the Replacements ".

The track remained unreleased for years.

Westerberg realized his toughest audience was the band itself, later saying: " If it doesn't rock enough, Bob will scoff at it, and if it isn't catchy enough, Chris won't like it, and if it isn't modern enough, Tommy won't like it ".
