Burning Up Time - The Stranglers and Hugh Cornwell Unofficial Forums

I got the original when it came out and never really listened to it. When I saw this thread I thought I'd give it a spin and I can't believe how good an album I have been missing for all these years. I will have to buy the 5.1 version now. Looking forward to next spring when Drums & Wires gets t...

He's not far wrong and he's a better guitarist too.

Having seen the Jam with Weller, I went to see From the Jam in Dublin last May and thought they were fantastic, better in fact than the Jam.

I don't particularly care what people post about the set list. Come on, who gives a shit really about any 'spoilers'? So what - you (may) know what they are going to play - but you don't know how they are going to SOUND, surely that's what it's all about??? Or am I on my own here??? No you're not o...

Jim,
The hits tour in 2008 started off at the O2 academy Dublin and not the ambassador as advertised on tour posters.

Hugh Cornwell revisits the song (listen to the GB version included on the LA echoplex live recording, the "mariachi" version of it to name a few) and it sounds good and fresh to my ears. Stranglers version is academic and adds nothing new. Why add something new? It was massive because of ...

Way too expensive as well

Hmmn..., Don't think I'll risk it.

Got the Classic Rock version of the new Rush album and just can't stop listening to it. After 20 albums I really think that this could be their best yet, fantastic bass sound as well.
