Robert Neil "Bob" Stinson (December 17, 1959 – February 18, 1995) was a founding member and lead guitarist of the American rock band The Replacements.
Biography
The Replacements
Stinson formed The Replacements (formerly Dog's Breath) in Minneapolis, Minnesota, in 1979 with drummer Chris Mars and Stinson's younger half-brother Tommy, then just 12 years old; a year later, Stinson brought in Paul Westerberg on second guitar and vocals. Bob Stinson won acclaim for his lead guitar on the band's first four albums.
In 1985, a long-running power struggle between Stinson and Westerberg reached a breaking point, and Stinson was forced out of the band sometime in late 1986. Though the exact circumstances of the split remain murky, published explanations include Westerberg's commercial aspirations, pressure from [the band's label] Sire Records for more mainstream records, and Stinson's increasing substance abuse problems. "Whether he was thrown out for the way his alleged alcohol problems had destroyed his skills or he left voluntarily due to creative tension is a moot point," according to Prefix Magazine. "What matters is this: Stinson was gone, and with him went much of the band's edge."
Stinson broke into the Majors on September 23, 1969 with the Dodgers, at the age of 23. In 1969 and 1970, he appeared in a total of eight games for the Dodgers. Then on October 5, 1970, Stinson was traded along with Ted Sizemore to the St. Louis Cardinals for Dick Allen. He appeared in 17 games in 1971 for the Cardinals.
