Re: Would you see The Stranglers without JJ?

It's still a valid option. I'm betting there's probably people voting Yes who haven't see the Stranglers for a while as well. Like I keep saying all opinions count (even if you don't agree with them) Jim I wonder how many people who voted no don't go and see the band anymore anyway. I imagine some p...

Re: Tour Epitaph

Possibly the most off topic post ever! :lol: Jim Sir so true about Hugh and Stranglers in the day,they weren't faking,they sometimes were genuinely angry with the audience being arseholes and sadly the band always did and do attract their fair share of arseholes,Hugh like you said still gets pissed ...

Re: Would you see The Stranglers without JJ?

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. A couple of years ago Roland Gift got circa 50k for one of the festivals. JJ mentioned 6 figures for that US festival they're about to do Jim Sent from my Pixel 6 using...

Re: Would you see The Stranglers without JJ?

I doubt JJ does it purely for the "art" I imagine he takes a fair wedge (which will top up his pension). Get real peeps

Re: Tour Epitaph

Thankfully Hugh seems to have stopped moaning at the audience for talking or taking pictures when he is playing - that WAS annoying. For a while he came across as a right git who had no respect for the few people who turned up to watch him. Also, the phase he went through of "if you want to he...

Re: Tour Epitaph

Paul has a great voice but his tone was wrong and some of his stage antics were truly embarrassing,Baz does have charisma and does a great job,he's also a very friendly bloke when you meet him,but Paul was better on 3 songs SLG,Sun and GB,the rest awful,compare the version of Sewer 97 to the one th...

They'd be the headliner as they would have original members.

Re: Would you see The Stranglers without JJ?

The band name becomes a franchise! Could it come to this? 2007 "Bill Pinkney, the last survivor of the original members of the The Drifters, died yesterday (July 4). He was 81." 2024 The Drifters are back on tour in the UK performing all their classic hits including ‘Saturday Night at the...

Re: Tour Epitaph

I don't really think Baz has done anything to be fair he's just more popular than Paul in my opinion. Exactly. PR got a hard time not only because he followed Hugh, but because he refused to be anything other than himself and put his own spin on things. In hindsight, this is something to be commend...
