Drummer Frank Ferrer was at his then-seven-year-old daughter’s talent show in 2006 when his phone rang. On the line was his friend Tommy Stinson, the Replacements bassist who was in the middle of a long tenure in Guns N’ Roses at the time.  ”Hey, man, there’s this thing happening,” Stinson told him. “Why don’t you learn a bunch of Guns songs?
