Re: Would you see The Stranglers without JJ?

That video is brilliant, it sounds great, the songs are great, the performances are great, Dave's got his decent-sounding keyboards... I dunno, god forbid that a band has a frontman that can sing and get into a performance... :roll: JJ obviously didn't agree. He lost interest for years, albums reco...

Re: Live album

I find the concept of listening to a live album on vinyl a little bizarre. Would prefer CD/Spotify

Re: Songs played live all-time league table

Re: Embellishments and deviations

One of the things I love about Jet is that he does just enough, absolutely solid but gives space for the other instruments. His style is all his. What I mean by that is if you hear that clip of Tank you can tell it's Jet playing , play Toiler from another gig with Jet and you can tell it's him. I do...
