Burning Up Time - The Stranglers and Hugh Cornwell Unofficial Forums

The major problem going forward is that their audience will be older than them. The fans wont be in a position to follow them around going to several gigs a tour.

More likely they go if its very local and their back is up it.

If baz continued without jj, he might have a more varied set. He's more likely to play newer stuff.

Given how many people here who voted no dont go now anyway, if these figures are accurate it looks as if "baz sings the Stranglers" would be able to fill smaller venues or shorter tours. Thats assuming we are all physically up to gigs when jj eventually leaves. Could be lots of zimmer fram...

I know they're an old band now, but the engery between then and now is stark.

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. Looks like it was played quite a bit in 85, t...

All day and all of the night is punching above its weight.

My point always gets missed on this forum for some reason lol. I understand you. Reviews aren't saying the stranglers are good live because JJ is carrying everyone else, they are saying everyone is fantastic. If baz, jim and toby are good and worthy stranglers, then a suitable replacement for JJ wi...
