Culture Shock
Replacements drummer dead at 49
Steve Foley was not an original member of The Replacements, but he stepped in to tour behind the band's final record, All Shook Down, when original drummer Chris Mars quit.
Ironically, All Shook Down was the first Replacements record I ever heard. It was essentially the first Paul Westerberg solo album put out under his old band's name. The notoriously drunken Westerberg was trying to dry out during this album and it's never enjoyed a great reputation among critics or fans. But I kinda liked it -- and it led me to their other stuff.
So here's a tip of the hat to the drummer who kept the group on the road there at the end.
