Paul Westerberg tells Pitchfork: "We've been offered... Chris (Mars), he doesn't want to play. He's moved on with his life to the point where he won't move back and do this. So that leaves essentially Tommy (Stinson) and I. I don't think we would go back and use any of the other Replacements guys. We'd probably find someone else. That's what's kept us wondering, the magic question: who's going to come and play the lead guitar? We could dismiss it, like we did on 'Pleased to Meet Me.' That was our fucking 'Let It Bleed,' where I played all the guitar. But I don't know."
