Forgot all about that but it’s obvs now listening to it that Simonon couldn’t play like that, probably still had notes drawn on his Bass guitars fretboard. Good idea actually.
Norman, he’s a seriously underrated bassist.
Great song.

Is he joining the Stranglers then? yeah he's responded to an ad and going for an audition Sent from my SM-G920F using Tapatalk I heard his auntie noticed it first, and let him know about it. I heard that too and it sounds awfully familiar. I do hope Rick plays Dave’s parts well, I’m sure he will, c...

With great difficulty?

I was lucky enough to get to see him Dublin Royal Hospital Kilmainham. Conducting a cast of 200 — evenly split between the Orchestra Roma Sinfonietta and the Dublin Gospel Choir. His death, at 91, robs the world of the greatest ever movie composer. Nice one. I desperately wanted to go to see him in...

Last saw the Manics at Leeds Arena, great gig, was in second row. Nicky Wire was mincing about and was trying to jump up in the air whilst not playing bass but managed to get about 6 inches in the air (JJ could teach him a thing or two about jumping and playing bass at the same time all whilst looki...

Aye that guitar lick in Heroes is a fave. Simple yet beautiful and really sticks in ones head.

you mean, the bloke who writes most of the songs..?

Yes the very same.
Lyric writer I believe and JDB writes the music.

If it’s good as the Manics then it should be a good. He’s a good singer, good guitar player and songwriter and had the looks until he started eating all the pies.
The Manics are great but the only prob they have is Nicky Wire is in them.

FFS another musical genius has gone. Imho along with John Barry and Lalo Schifrin he was the finest composer of film soundtracks. His soundtrack to Fistful Of Dollars, The Good Bad And The Ugly etc was the 2nd album I bought after Black & White in 1978. RIP. https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/av/entertainme...

No. I have heavily medicated resistant hypertension so it's not in my interests to contract CV19 and any form of social distancing is going to collapse in a packed boozer on a Saturday night - an atmosphere perfect for droplet inhalation and transmission. Doing this, the government might as well ca...

Can’t believe they didn’t film The Stranglers at Glastonbury. There’s one video on youtube of some folk walking up to see The Stranglers and filming as they do. When they get to The Stranglers it’s quite a wow moment, the audience is huge, it’s a headlining type audience and I believe they had a big...

I’d like to see more dancing like that at Stranglers & Hugh gigs.
