Burning Up Time - The Stranglers and Hugh Cornwell Unofficial Forums

Controversially as well JJ knows by keeping the Stranglers going he is holding Hugh back as well. When all those fans no longer would have a Original band name to follow, it will leave them with not much else to be supportive towards so Hugh would naturally pick up most of those fans. JJ would defi...

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...

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.

Indeed, and very effective on Peaches.

Geddy Lee. I can't believe he's not been mentioned before. The bass, the voice, absolute shoe in.

Mini bus pick up/drop off has been mooted, half time spread and raffle.
Shall I put you down for a 'maybe?'

A couple of years ago Roland Gift got circa 50k for one of the festivals.

Or Baz, double set with the Toy dolls.

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.

Yes he is proud of his half a century and why not

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.

I'm sure Baz can keep the good ship Stranglers afloat for a bit longer.
After all he must feel his 25 years of contributions (longer than Hugh, lest we forget) can yield a formidable set list.
