Burning Up Time - The Stranglers and Hugh Cornwell Unofficial Forums

Well it (pulling in full houses) was basically happening around 2004/05, I don't see why that wouldn't have continued with a five piece lineup promoting Suite XVI. People bought into the idea of 21st Century Stranglers with Norfolk Coast, new fans were on board, gigs were well attended, reviews were...

Paul did do some great work on a couple of the albums but was a joke on stage, in my opinion. Did JJ get rid because he realised things had to change? Does anyone really know what happened to Paul? There are a few interviews floating about, mainly one from Baz who tells the story of the making of S...

Fans turned away in droves and the band ended up playing to 500 /700 people at many shows,compared to now.I think that says it all. I don't think that "says it all", I think there are several reasons why that happened, which have been detailed numerous times elsewhere. Certain sections of...

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...

Cool.
I prefer vinyl myself, I very rarely put a CD on these days. Hopefully this will come with a download as well though so I can have it on the go.

Was anyone actually playing that little 'ting' sound in the verse of 'Hallow To Our Men'? https://youtu.be/fC6cIKeJzu0?si=eohM5U_W7el16JHf&t=113 Good spot! It may have been on one of Jim's pads to his left, same as the sounds he was using in Ships That Pass In the Night. Or it could have been a...

Now that's got me thinking,not trying to denigrate the tour as i was the one who started the thread then went off thread 😔 but just thinking about Jiggery pokery,there does seem to be more use of extra backing on a few songs ie Stallion,and Breathe had a loop,Baz started the song on Acoustic Guitar...

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...

i didn't like Pauls antics on stage or his interpretations of the older material. It really did make me feel sick that i was put off seeing them live again. He could certainly be very cringe sometimes, that's for sure. Great voice though. Weirdly, although I've always liked In the Night, I hated th...

Coup de Grace, best not to talk about really... Wasn't that album exclusively JJ songs? Is it not your favorite? :smt003 Well the JJ songs are certainly the highlights of the album haha. I couldn't argue that Dave and Jet made huge contributions to it though, I think they were very much just going ...
