About

By admin

So yes, what the world needs now is another Paul Westerberg site like I need a hole in my head. But here it is. Sure you’ll find the general news type stuff, tour dates, concert reviews, big, goobery excitement about upcoming records and shows (you want to know more about Paul? Check out his entry on Wikipedia).

But we want Paul Westerberg.net to be more than that. We want it to be a site where you can share your memories of Westerberg and the ‘Mats, your experiences, or any other arcane trivia in your head (as it relates to the man I call St. Paul Westerberg).

This is your site. It will be as good or as bad as we want to make it. There’s a gob of us out there, this ragtag group of Westernerds (that’s what I like to call us dorky fans) with memories and experiences to share.

Post it on up. Don’t worry if your first post doesn’t magically appear right away. It’ll need to be approved by one of the editors. That’s just how things will have to work for awhile. But don’t worry, there’s no heavy handed censoring or editing going on. We just want to make sure everything on that main page stays on topic, however you are free to post whatever you like in the comments.

Enjoy! If you have any questions, feel free to contact us.

Love you in the fall,
Paul Westerberg.net

P.S. The site is brand new and a work in progress. Do you have any ideas? Let us know. In the meantime we’ll be working the kinks out as we go. You know how it is.

    [...] But this better than just a fan site, it’s a community sharing blahg of sorts about all things Westerbergesque. At least that’s what I envision it to be. [...]

    Ya, Guitar World did one in 88 I think, you should be able to find it fairly easily on the Interweb®…its pretty good.

    ColorMeImpressed.com has a scan of that tab. It’s in regular tuning instead of the open A PW plays live. It sounds good enough to my ears, but has a few tricky bits.

    When I tried it with my band, I played it in open G, two steps down from the record. It felt easier to play and much easier to sing.

    A friend burned a disc for me with other music, and the only Westerberg tune was “Attitude.” His player was messed up so the recording of that one song was bad-it had a rhythmic skipping to it.
    On the basis of that one badly recorded song, I drove 100 miles to see him perform. That was 2006. I didna recognize hardly a song, and it was the best show I had been to in a long time. Color me impressed–I have been a fan ever since. I never thought I was going to hear something new (or old but new too me) that I would love that much.

    I saw them in Boston at the Orpheum. After a guitar solo no one applauded. Paul said “let’s hear it you lame ass MF’s”. He was right. Boston crowds are not all there.
