Re: Would you see The Stranglers without JJ?
Yep, that's correct. https://stranglers-ratter.blogspot.com/2016/09/suite-xvi.html?m=1 Ah thought so …. Proper cunts trick I’m afraid. I keep on saying but each person's versions of events is their perspective, when I spoke to Paul some years back in a pub gig in Andover with about 30 people,his ve...

Re: Would you see The Stranglers without JJ?
I think the final nail in his coffin was JJ & BW writing together etc in a cottage down wherever it was .... And Paul's stuff was rejected. (Did I read PR pushed a tape/cd thought the door?) Yep, that's correct. What I do know was that there was a padded envelope on the doormat one morning with...

Re: Would you see The Stranglers without JJ?
Paul did keep the band going, and I seen some great gigs with him ... from 4 dates on his first tour in '91 (?) to his last gig at Rock City (?) ... as well as some solo gigs where he introduced BW & made him more accessible to everyone, happy days. I think the final nail in his coffin was JJ &a...

Re: Would you see The Stranglers without JJ?
Going back to the original question ... already said No to seeing them without JJ, others I have no interest in seeing are New Order with no Hooky, From the Jam with only Foxton, Prodigy etc etc. Would watch them at festivals but that's it. Interesting program about Dr Feelgood on Radio 4 today, wor...

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.
