Iconic 80s rock guitarist dead at 73


Slim Dunlap, guitarist and singer-songwriter of the band the Replacements, died on Wednesday at age 73.

It was lead singer Paul Westerberg's idea to officially bill the new member as Slim, to prevent confusion with the group's original Bob. 'He felt the obligation to bring home a steady paycheck, and [joining the Replacements] was a way for him to finally do that while playing music,' Chrissie said in a 2015 interview, per the Star Tribune. She also shared that her husband's new role was an adjustment for their teenage daughter Emily who was also a musician and a fan of her father's new band.
