Burning Up Time - The Stranglers and Hugh Cornwell Unofficial Forums

I remember that All Mixed Up album of theirs been pretty big when it came out. Dunno why it's just remixes Jim Sent from my Pixel 6 using Tapatalk To be fair remix albums were all the rage in the late 80’s through to the 90’s, technically there were even two or three stranglers remix albums; the 12...

Why would anyone ever complain about a 3hr set? they could always leave. People are seriously fucktarded. Don’t worry Hugh will return to The Stranglers in 2024 for The Stranglers 50th anniversary shows, probably, not. You heard it here first, just don’t tell anyone. :wink: Shorter attention spans ...

Well to me they weren't great at all.. good maybe.. I can hear the stranglers influence to their sound. They made a few decent songs, but ultimately just didn't have the quality to compete. A bit like watching France vs Morocco. Good effort though.. I’ve never heard that stranglers influence but th...

I should check them out, the track I like is probably the most famous “Wishing”, kind of came on my radar through the “Ashes to Ashes” soundtrack, which also featured the stranglers amongst many great and not so great artists I am aware that AFOS got their name through the lyrics of Toiler, but othe...

They played Leeds Arena just a few weeks ago but I only found out at the last minute so there were only tickets available with seats miles away so didn’t bother. Hopefully next time though 8) That’s always the problem, they do tend to play the large arenas and when they do smaller shows they sell o...

Yes I remember Goldfrapp (who I like) struggling a bit. Editors and Interpol were also on, so It was a great day for me! Agree these things can be very pricey, but 4 bands I like wasn't bad ticket value for me....that's not always the case! That’s it, I don’t really remember either of them, I do re...

Yes I was there too...they were on top form. A great line up too. I remember it being very hot! It was hot by the summers previously, but thankfully very mild compared to this years heatwave. Goldfrapp played too, good set, but better suited to headline shows (Brixton, Somerset House), they can str...

Anyone see their 40th Anniversary concert in Hyde Park on on Sky Arts a while back? I really enjoyed that, a great set of songs. I only have a greatest hits/ best of from the 80’s but after watching this concert I’m tempted to spend my hard earned giro on a few of their CD’s. Was lucky enough to ac...

Yes. He played when Kenny and John left after Join Hands and then he came back to record Hyaena Head on the Door is a great album - thats when I really got them for a brief while. They are on my B list - still a solid band but I don't wet my pants over them AND 3 HOUR SHOWS!!! Snooze fest! Thought ...

They stole their guitar sound off Siouxsie and the Banshees. Before that they were quite a dull, average outfit. Not a bad band but clearly inferior to the best 80s alternative bands. (Bunnymen, Smiths, New Order, Chameleons for my money) I got to say, I disagree there, I don’t think Bob Smith was ...

Back to this old chestnut again Circumstances meant The Clash are amongst a very limited amount of music that gets my mood these days Earlier listened to the first album, it has some moments of sheer quality, but a fair few songs that I would generally prefer to skip, half of the album at least is c...

The Forest one of the greatest songs ever IMHO,but they became to Stadium for me, massive in USA,at least they avoided the Cowboy hats.Lt Kudu. I don’t think they are exactly massive in the US, they’re definitely not playing stadiums or ever were, Arenas, large festivals for sure, but they’re not e...
