Re: Tour Epitaph

Funnily enough ... I thought the same about the loops on tracks ie 'Breathe' watching YT videos, I was saying how much the keyboards are up in the mix/sound these days compared to back in the 70's/ 80's ... gives it all a fuller sound. And I thought JJ's vocals have been spot on this tour.

Re: The Anniversary Harrington Style Jacket.

The Harrington isn't an item of clothing I ever associated with the Stranglers unlike leather jackets and doc martens.I always thought of it as more of a ska and mod thing. Exactly, it looks like an ill fitting Harrington you see old men wear from M&S. The original Harrington was worn slightly ...

Re: The Anniversary Harrington Style Jacket.

The jacket was/is an insult to the history of The Harrington jacket. As Jim said, its tacky and looks tatt. One for the fanboys definitely.

The Gold disc ... another rip off, and .... did I hear a drumskin was on sale for £70.

They're not the band they used to be.

Re: 50th Anniversary Setlist?

so it'd be great if he could work with a guitarist that's willing to experiment and not fall back on blues cliches. Jon Ellis is the type of guitarist for that, but tat would never happen lol, but I've recently been listening to an album called 'Sons of Shiva' and the guitarist from that album woul...

Re: 50th Anniversary Setlist?

Just watched some footage of the gigs with Baz and whilst singing Golden Brown on cue goes to the front of the stage mid song and holds his hands out like the messiah of stranglers song writing egging the crowd on to adore him and cheer. I wasn't going to say anything but i have never been a fan of...
