Burning Up Time - The Stranglers and Hugh Cornwell Unofficial Forums

Getting a bit toxic and childish, time to delete my account. Yep I agree, I’ve kept off here over the past couple of years, sick of the attitude of a lot of people but then I thought what the hell, 50th tour, should be all positive….no, same old shit, good job the majority of fans don’t think the s...

They are though, two so far and i would imagine a few more to come

Same as usual. And sad as it is, I feel like my days of seeing the world’s greatest band have drawn to a close. Royal Albert Hall? Nah. As for Glasgow - what was wrong with the Academy? And no Birmingham date? Cant see any reason to stop seeing them after the 50th tour because one day they really w...

I think it is all good and they've got it spot on with Toby. He's a lovely bloke, respectful of Dave, seems modest which I doubt any of the other "big names" would've been if they'd joined. So if there's gonna be a Stranglers in 2022 and beyond then I can't see how it could've been any be...

Yes I think even if people think they are a tribute band,no one can deny that Toby is doing an amazing job and fantastic musician as Baz and Jim are to.Music is helping me at the moment with my dad at end of life Stage but it just takes my mind off for a short time.Lt kudu. Long may they continue t...

Nothing at all wrong with the Stranglers frontman as a musician or the poster ...i don't suppose he give's a toss at the pops with his talent,fame & money.He's been the best thing for sure lifting this band as guitarist and vocalist post '90 for me and that for me isn't even in question on that...

This is essentially what it boils down to. Now Hugh is touring we've got the usual critics. At least he's doing it off his own back and with a healthy wedge of his solo material. Which IMO stands up incredibly well and is as strong as some of the stuff he wrote for The Stranglers. His live performa...

Fair enough each to their own. I always find it a bit weird that some Stranglers fans won't even entertain hearing "that voice". Surely even if you're not that impressed with his solo offering you'd go to hear the voice live. Like someone else mentioned ain't gonna be performing forever. ...

So lets stop posting this Vitriol against the band and rally behind both Hugh and The stranglers, the world would be a poorer place if both stooped recording and touring. That would have more impact if you didn't just criticise hugh early in the same post. :wink: I wasn’t criticising him I was sayi...

Its a shame that this forum has been dragged into the gutter by certain people who purport to be Stranglers fans but whose only aim is to run down the current line up until in the end even the band will question if it is worth continuing. We all have our opinions of the different line ups that the b...

"It's a nonsensical argument that it's not the same, of course it's not the same and nor do we want it to be the same." Oh? That's okay, then. Just put a group of any old swinging dicks onstage and call them The Stranglers, then. I mean, that's all well and good if you want to spunk your ...

It highlights The Stranglers are much more than JJ, and how key Baz is to their resurgence Yeah, Baz has reaffirmed The Stranglers status as a major artistic forhahahace hahahaaaa! Sorry, I couldn't even type that with a straight face. Given the amount of current names on the front cover of that ma...
