On this day back in 1986, The Replacements made their appearance on SNL, an appearance that ended up getting them banned

Presumably totally inebriated?

I got a pocket full of kryptonite
With Sam Kinison, Harry Dean Stanton, and Robert Downey Jr. on the show, I'm sure that they weren't alone.

Full on blasted. They swore a couple times as well and it was aired live so there is that.
The story of how they even got on despite their reputation (great band but live they could self-destruct) is funny. I think the Pointer Sisters were set to perform and cancelled the day before. The SNL musical director at the time was GE Smith and he was a huge fan so he convinced the powers that be to let them on.
Rolling Stone (when it still mattered) dubbed them, "the best band that never was" or something like that.

He fixes the cable?
Completely and totally. Turned their amps up, swore, trashed hotel room, the whole nine. Even so I'm pretty surprised they were banned. It was the 80s, and they're a rock band. Must not have kissed the ring enough.

Oh, they were trashed. Even invited Harry Dean into their dressing room for a few belts, until a show staffer found him and wrestled him out of there before too much damage was done.
I just love the look on Bob's face at the end, where he just casually tosses his guitar over his shoulder and then steps aside, and waves his arm like he's presenting the showcase on The Price is Right.
If you follow a link in the text accompanying the original video, it takes you to a Rolling Stone excerpt from the book Trouble Boys that details the whole event.

Are the cis okay?
If you had to come up with 5 acts that summarized you, your tastes, and your personality, who would they be?

A hit, a very palpable hit.

You would play upon me; you would seem to know
my stops; you would pluck out the heart of my
mystery; you would sound me from my lowest note to
the top of my compass: and there is much music,
excellent voice, in this little organ*; yet cannot
you make it speak. 'Sblood, do you think I am
easier to be played on than a pipe? Call me what
instrument you will, though you can fret me, yet you
cannot play upon me.
* Hurr hurr.

Bell Biv DeVoe was right:
Never trust a big butt and a smile.

This version should be played, in its entirety, at every medal ceremony at the Olympics as our national anthem.
