Most people who see this message have done nothing wrong. Some kinds of blocks restrict editing from specific service providers or telecom companies in response to recent abuse or vandalism, and can sometimes affect other users who are unrelated to that abuse. Review the information below for assistance if you do not believe that you have done anything wrong.

The IP address or range 44.201.0.0/16 has been blocked (disabled) by ‪ST47‬ for the following reason(s):

The IP address that you are currently using has been blocked because it is believed to be a web host provider. To prevent abuse, web hosts may be blocked from editing Wikipedia.
You will not be able to edit Wikipedia using a web host provider because it hides your IP address, much like a proxy or VPN.
We recommend that you attempt to use another connection to edit. For example, if you use a proxy or VPN to connect to the internet, turn it off when editing Wikipedia. If you edit using a mobile connection, try using a Wi-Fi connection, and vice versa. If you are using a corporate internet connection, switch to a different Wi-Fi network. If you have a Wikipedia account, please log in.
If you do not have any other way to edit Wikipedia, you will need to request an IP block exemption.

How to appeal if you are confident that your connection does not use a web host's IP address:
If you are confident that you are not using a web host, you may appeal this block by adding the following text on your talk page: ((unblock|reason=Caught by a web host block but this host or IP is not a web host. My IP address is _______. Place any further information here. ~~~~)). You must fill in the blank with your IP address for this block to be investigated. Your IP address can be determined here. Alternatively, if you wish to keep your IP address private you can use the unblock ticket request system. There are several reasons you might be editing using the IP address of a web host (such as if you are using VPN software or a business network); please use this method of appeal only if you think your IP address is in fact not a web host.

Administrators: The IP block exemption user right should only be applied to allow users to edit using web host in exceptional circumstances, and they should usually be directed to the functionaries team via email. If you intend to give the IPBE user right, a CheckUser needs to take a look at the account. This can be requested most easily at SPI Quick Checkuser Requests. Unblocking an IP or IP range with this template is highly discouraged without at least contacting the blocking administrator.

This block will expire on 23:54, 31 July 2024.

Even when blocked, you will usually still be able to edit your user talk page, as well as email administrators and other editors.

'''Robert Neil Stinson''' (December 17, 1959 – February 18, 1995) was an American musician best known as a founding member and lead guitarist of the rock band [[The Replacements (band)|The Replacements]].

== Early life ==
Bob Stinson was born on December 17, 1959, in [[Waconia, Minnesota]], to Neil and Anita Stinson. They divorced when he was two years old. His father was largely absent from his life, and he was raised by his mother. His half-brother [[Tommy Stinson]] was born nearly seven years later.  Despite Tommy's father being Anita's longtime boyfriend, Tommy was still given the last name "Stinson" by his mother. The pair also had two sisters, Lonnie and Lisa.

== Career ==

===The Replacements (1979–1986)===

Stinson formed [[The Replacements (band)|The Replacements]] (formerly 'Dog's Breath' and also by some accounts as 'Dogbreath'<ref>"All Over But the Shouting" by Jim Walsh, Voyager Press, 2007</ref>) in [[Minneapolis, Minnesota]], in 1979 with drummer [[Chris Mars]] and Tommy, then just 12 years old; a year later, the band brought in [[Paul Westerberg]] on rhythm guitar and vocals. Stinson won acclaim for his lead guitar on the band's first four albums.
[[File:The Replacements (1983 Twin Tone publicity photo).jpg|thumb|Stinson (second from right) as part of [[The Replacements (band)|The Replacements]] in 1983]]
In 1985, a long-running power struggle between Stinson and Westerberg reached a breaking point, and Stinson was forced out of the band in the summer of 1986. Though the exact circumstances of the split remain murky, published explanations include Westerberg's commercial aspirations, pressure from the band's label, [[Sire Records]], for more mainstream records, and Stinson's increasing substance abuse problems. "Whether he was thrown out for the way his alleged alcohol problems had destroyed his skills or he left voluntarily due to creative tension is a moot point," according to ''Prefix Magazine''. "What matters is this: Stinson was gone, and with him went much of the band's edge."((citation needed|date=August 2019))

With the departure of Stinson, all subsequent recordings by the band were increasingly more pop-oriented, dominated by Westerberg's pop stylings. Stinson's last stint in the band was on the demos for the album ''[[Pleased to Meet Me]]''.

===Later projects (1986–1994)===

Stinson's first band after leaving The Replacements was called Model Prisoner, which broke up in 1988. Model Prisoner's line up consisted of [[Sonny Vincent]] on vocals and guitar, Stinson on guitar, Eric Magistad on bass and Jeff Rogers on drums. Other members included Jim Michels and Mike Henderson. The band performed live and they recorded an album at Nicollet Studios ([[Twin Tone Records|Twin Tone]]).

Stinson later joined [[Static Taxi]] in 1988, who broke up in the summer of 1991, around the same time as the Replacements. Static Taxi recorded extensively although none of the material was released until several years after Stinson's death. Stinson's former bandmates compiled two albums from the band's recordings: ''Stinson Boulevard'' (released in 2000) and ''Closer 2 Normal'' (released in 2003).

Along with Vincent, Stinson formed the band Shotgun Rationale, and released the single "Time Is Mine" – a remake of the original song by [[The Testors]] – in 1991 on Dogmeat Records. The new version of the song, with Stinson on guitar, also featured future [[Bash & Pop]] guitarist Steve Brantseg. Stinson also appears on European releases that featured him playing alongside Vincent.

Shotgun Rationale's line up changed constantly. At one point Stinson and Vincent invited [[Cheetah Chrome]] (of [[Dead Boys]]) to join the band, and Chrome moved to Minnesota to play guitar with them. Vincent called this period, "quite insane for a while... You have to imagine a band consisting of both Bob Stinson and Cheetah Chrome playing and working together.. then add to that I was no angel and you start to get a glimpse of the mercurial energy and intense chaos that we lived in, it didn't last long but it was like living in a constant lightning storm and the sound was the same, tight and concentrated but always exploding over the edge."

Stinson also played with the local band Dog 994 around this time. His last band was The Bleeding Hearts, which he formed with his roommate Mike Leonard. One of their most high-profile performances was opening for Tommy's band [[Bash & Pop]] in 1993. His last public performance was playing with Minneapolis Countryswing band Trailer Trash at Lee's Liquor Lounge in late 1994. They performed a version of [[Lefty Frizzell]]'s "Lil 'Ol Wine Drinker Me".

In 2010, [[Sonny Vincent]] compiled all the songs he recorded with Stinson over the years into the album ''Cow Milking Music'', which he released under the name Model Prisoners Featuring Sonny Vincent And Bob Stinson. The album was released on vinyl, with CD included, along with many photos of Stinson from Vincent's archives and a four-page story detailing the history of their collaboration and friendship.

==Personal life==
In the mid-1980s, Bob married Carleen Krietler.  Stinson and his wife had a son Joey in 1989, who was profoundly disabled. Carleen filed for divorce around 1992. Joey died in 2010 at the age of 21. Joey's obituary, as published on [[Legacy.com]], listed his survivors simply as "his caregivers and grandparents, Anita and Tom Kurth [and] other relatives and friends."<ref>((Cite web|url=https://www.legacy.com/obituaries/twincities/obituary.aspx?n=joseph-aaron-stinson&pid=146917328&fhid=3438|title=Joseph Aaron Stinson Obituary (2010) Pioneer Press|website=[[Legacy.com]] ))</ref>

After he left the Replacements, Stinson was never again a full-time musician, and he worked as a cook in various Twin Cities restaurants and hotels.

==Death==
Stinson died on February 18, 1995. According to the Hennepin County Medical Examiner's Report, he did not die of a drug overdose (as is frequently reported) but rather frequent drug use caused his overall health to diminish, resulting in organ failure.<ref>((Cite web |url=http://www.rttnews.com/Media/SlideShow/SlideShow.aspx?ID=1187&Slide=2 |title=1995 - Bob Stinson Dies |archive-url=https://archive.today/20130201154712/http://www.rttnews.com/Media/SlideShow/SlideShow.aspx?ID=1187&Slide=2 |archive-date=1 February 2013 |url-status=dead))</ref> His body was found in his [[Uptown, Minneapolis]] apartment, with an unused [[insulin]] syringe next to it. His obituary appeared in the print edition of ''[[The New York Times]]'' on February 24, 1995.<ref>((cite news|url=https://www.nytimes.com/1995/02/24/obituaries/bob-stinson-rock-guitarist-is-dead-at-35.html|title= Bob Stinson, Rock Guitarist, Is Dead at 35|date=February 24, 1995|work=[[The New York Times]]))</ref>

A park bench dedicated to Stinson sits next to a quiet canal near Lake of the Isles in Minneapolis. It was purchased by his mother Anita in his honor.
