R.I.P. Bob "Slim" Dunlap (1951-2024) // The Replacements (VIDEO)


Thanks for stopping by to watch my latest video. Today is a sad one, my friends. Bob "Slim" Dunlap has died today at the age of 73. Bob is best known for his time as the lead guitarist of The Replacements (1986-1991), but he was a Twin Cities music legend many years prior to that. 

In the 1990s, after The Replacements broke up, Dunlap recorded two solo albums, "Times Like These" and "The Old New Me." He suffered a serious stroke in 2012 and has been unable to perform since then. 

Dunlap's time in The Replacements has been recently featured on the double live album, "The Complete Inconcerated Live," and on the box set, "Dead Man's Pop." Rest In Peace, Bob.
