Re: Would you see The Stranglers without JJ?
I do agree that fans return to attending gigs after the kids have grown up and the mortgage is paid,not just the Stranglers but any band.But I just can't picture a five piece Stranglers with Paul as the frontman singing all of the songs,pulling in full houses around the UK.Can't be proven one way or...

Re: Would you see The Stranglers without JJ?
Fans turned away in droves and the band ended up playing to 500 /700 people at many shows,compared to now.I think that says it all.

Re: Live album
That would limit their sales I would've thought.Don't understand this going back in time thing,with vinyl.

Re: Would you see The Stranglers without JJ?
As somebody else said,the last link to the original.It's bizarre enough without Hugh,Jet and Dave but without JJ too then it becomes a music hall joke.Literally

Re: Songs played live all-time league table
From memory they played uptown,no mercy,let me down easy and north winds on the aural sculpture show that I attended in Liverpool.Without googling.Maybe punch and judy was shoe 'horned' in.

Stage presence.You either have or you don't.JJ has it and so did/does Hugh.

Let Me Down Easy was about JJ's Father and written by Hugh, which was nice.

Re: Songs played live all-time league table
Skin Deep wasn't even performed on the tour of the album it was from.I don't recall it featuring on Dreamtime and 10 tours either.It may have been resurrected occasionally by the various line ups post 1990 but I don't think it's ever had a regular slot.

Re: Songs played live all-time league table
Skin Deep seems too high and Bitching too low.Can't be very accurate.

Re: Would you see The Stranglers without JJ?
JJ is now of an age that he used to call Jet old.He will drive the band into the ground and its not a spectacle I want to see,myself.
