Bob “Slim” Dunlap, the guitarist for The Replacements who played on their albums Don’t Tell a Soul and All Shook Down, has died at age 73.
According to the Minnesota Star Tribune, Dunlap died Wednesday, December 18th, due to complications from a severe stroke that he initially suffered in 2012.
Dunlap joined The Replacements in 1987, replacing original guitarist Bob Stinson and remained with the band until their initial breakup in 1991.
In the 1990s, Dunlap toured with Georgia Satellites frontman Dan Baird, and released a pair of solo albums, The Old New Me and Times Like This.
After Dunlap suffered his stroke in 2012, The Replacements’ Paul Westerberg and Tommy Stinson reunited for Songs for Slim, a benefit EP with proceeds going to their former guitarist.
