Re: Tour Epitaph
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...

Re: Tour Epitaph
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...

Re: Tour Epitaph
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 ...

Re: Tour Epitaph
Interesting - For me i don't consider anything post 1990 as the Stranglers the remaining originals seemed to have switched off post 90 Only if you're not listening properly. In The Night is a brilliant Stranglers album mired in crap production. I'd love someone to give it a beefed-up brand new mix ...

Re: Tour Epitaph
In my opinion you can never be totally sure who has an input on the songs properly. Even in the original line up. Although officially all were given credit on many of those songs Jet, Dave must have written the the drum patterns or the keyboards on the songs that Hugh or JJ were given full credit f...

Yes, we know what you think.StanInBlack wrote: ↑02 Apr 2024, 14:58 Personally, I see Baz, Toby and Jim as stand-ins for the proper guys who can't or won't be there. Actually, that's a bit too charitable. They're employees of "JJB&F Inc."

Re: Would you see The Stranglers without JJ?
I bet more than a few that stopped going to see the band after Hugh , Dave and Jet probably have now started going again now the shock has lessened Yes, good point, the 2022 gig I saw without Dave was almost unbearably weird and poignant, but the one I saw a couple of weeks ago was much less of a s...

Re: Would you see The Stranglers without JJ?
By making the poll a binary choice you've actually made it really difficult! If the tickets were the same price as they have been recently - probably not If it was more comparable to one of the actual tribute acts like Straighten Out or Rattus Inheritus but with Baz on vocals and some more up to dat...

Re: Tour Epitaph
even Toby seems to be accepted as a Dave replacement now as well. Singing as well as playing No no, not a replacement, not in my eyes. Toby is a "stand-in". In the unlikely event that a new album features some prominent and obvious Toby contributions which stand on their own merit and sta...

Re: Tour Epitaph
You don't have to go to the dates to comment. Similarly you don't have to have seen MKI to comment on MKI live threads etc. Jim Nice to see that this thread reviewing the recent tour has been commandeered by people who didn't actually go to any of the dates. Again. You're right of course, but it wo...
