Re: Embellishments and deviations
As they are, essentially, a touring band, JJ has surrounded himself with the ones he gets on with, and rightly so. I prefer to go see Straighten out where one is surrounded by Stranglers fans. What are you surrounded with at a Stranglers gig? Random passers-by who've just come in because it was rai...

Re: Embellishments and deviations
Well they seem to have consciously changed the end of Tank, and dropped the 3/8 bit that Jet did. Feels a bit sloppy to me.
I'm not mad on Toby's solo either, the pitch bend neither comes from, or goes to, anywhere.

A couple of years ago Roland Gift got circa 50k for one of the festivals.droopsnoot wrote: ↑06 Apr 2024, 18:09 I've an idea I saw the Reading 1983 contract on the FB memorabilia group, and it was for £7.5k, so you can extrapolate from there.

Re: Would you see The Stranglers without JJ?
Well those bamboo gusset pants they stocked some time ago won't cut it, that's for sure.
Stranglers flask: Have quick slurp of broth while waiting at the stage door for Toby's autograph.
Travel blanket, for those international gigs.
Booklet of coupons: For money off everything.

Re: Would you see The Stranglers without JJ?
Well my problem is Toiler, is that a Stranglers gig with only post 2000 material (when Baz's musical contribution started) isn't going to pull in even the most hardened of Stranglers fans, with or without a minibus and meat raffle.
