Re: 50th Anniversary Setlist?

I must be imagining posters wanting stan off the board because he's critical of this line up, DM and this tour.

Crack on stan, eveyone welcomes your opinion.

Re: 50th Anniversary Setlist?

Stan just hits a nerve. We could critise the band in other ways, like how bad 10 is or how brass section was a mistake, without anyone claiming its insulting the stranglers or a sign of not being a real fan. The curent tour or album is always sacred. Like they are the lady di of the stranglers histo...

Re: 50th Anniversary Setlist?

The stranglers have evolved, but from four who have equal influence, to eventually JJ and three people who have varying levels of influence. Its difficult for fans to feel the same way about the band as a result. Theres no other part of the site to say that, so its said here. Having said that, its b...

Re: 50th Anniversary Setlist?

I’m sure he did, and so he should. But that’s not what I said. It’s that he plasters his promotional media heavily with his past involvement, which is different to playing the songs (and which I have no issue with). It’s a shame he has to do this as his solo output should stand on its own without i...

Re: 50th Anniversary Setlist?

The messiah pose is an attempt to 'have a thing' - like dave drinking a pint or JJ kicking. Baz has said in the past he believes hes a better guitarist than hugh, which may have inspired the initial pose, but i think he just thinks everyone is waiting for it now.

Re: 50th Anniversary Setlist?

I like that someone has written on setlist.com 'first time since x' underneath some of the tunes, ive never seen that before.

Theres obviously been an argument somewhere about how rarely played some of the tracks are.

Re: 50th Anniversary Setlist?

Thanks, i think that was, by far, the biggest curve ball in the set.

Re: JJ in Classic Rock

Its normal to big up the most current work, though. Ok, saying its close to genius is a tad over the top, but what would be the point of making new stuff if he didnt think it was worthwhile.

Re: Strangler in the light

I think most of the animosity is contrived. I dont believe JJ thinks about hugh that much.

But he has to 'win', so has to tell everyone that him playing 80% mk 1 is winning, and hugh playing lots of solo material is losing.

Re: Strangler in the light

The best 'fuck you' both could give to each other would be to only play a mk1 songs in the encores. Prove that they didnt need the other to make music and money. Interviewers wouldnt keep talking about 1978 and they wouldnt have to talk about each other. There might have been opportunities for them ...
