  Wow. I'm having an incredibly hard time imagining the Replacements opening for Killing Joke -- but I'm sure it was memorable.

    FEAR was a favorite growing up. They were erratic, incomprehensible, unpredictable, shambolic, frequently idiotic and even more frequently a powerful expression of everything I loved about music at the time.
     
    Kind of like...KJ?
     
    I loved how they were always teetering just on the edge of falling apart. Growing up I would hear stories of the Replacements at Duffy's in Mpls (and opening for KJ) or Kirby's in Moorhead, MN (next to Fargo, ND). The consensus was always the same: either you saw the greatest rock'n'roll show ever, or you saw a bunch of drunk fools play KISS covers for 20 minutes before falling off the stage.

    I loved FEAR's first two albums. Awesome live band as well.

      Can I ask what appealed to you about them?
      Worse than the Expoited, to me.
