Burning Up Time - The Stranglers and Hugh Cornwell Unofficial Forums

Apart from the "why does he hate john ellis so much" mystery, there is one other perpelxing aspect to the book - he descibes having attempted suicide several times, and describes gonig to hang himself in his garage and changing his mind at the last minute. This is described rather flippan...

I mean, it’s clearly a must have for any fan but I wouldn’t get too excited!

Again, just my opinion. You might love it.

Song by Song still miles ahead of the pack in terms of the best book on the band for my money.

Well I have to say I thought this was a bit rubbish. A few unknown details here and there (especially his family history and early years) but not much in the way of new information. I really like the interview format for books like this but I thought the 'M' structure gave it unnecessary limitations...

We've jumped to the conclusion (perhaps wrongly) that a chap called Toby who used to be in Rialto is the new keyboardist. He did a fantastic tribute to Dave a year ago and I'm kinda hoping it is him as he's talented and comes across as a decent chap that would do it justice. Jim Cheers Jim that’s a...

Forgive me for not comprehensively reading the last 50 odd pages of bickering but who’s this Toby H fella then?

I still find it a bit mad I’ve spent over £70 on tickets to see a band that keeps refusing to say who it actually is I’m going to be seeing.

It’s getting a bit absurd now to be honest.

Loved the first album, hated the second, third sounding like a return to form. Great review Pidge, cheers fella!

"The jagged, alienated aesthetic of its follow up, Empires and Dance, was co-opted by Manic Street Preachers on The Holy Bible. "Empires and Dance and Real to Real Cacophony," sighs Manics singer James Dean Bradfield, "there's no one to touch them." Thought these would be ri...

Looking forward to seeing this, had very good reviews. Bloody love the Manics. Jim you saw 'em with Richey didn't ya?

His book 'Bad Vibes' is hysterically funny. An absolute must read if you like Luke Haines.

I did do a search but couldn't find anything...knew they wouldn't slip you by Jim! You got their album? It really is great, can't stop listening to it.

Anyone heard of this group? They're from Leeds I believe, I reckon some people on here might enjoy them. They're quite spiky punk/new wave sounding, and the bass work at times has shades of Burnel.. When I first got their record I was a bit disappointed - it initially sounds a little one paced and s...

Thanks!
