Re: JJ & Hugh to do one off Stranglers tour?
Without Jet and Dave would it really be The Stranglers ? No, it wouldn't. It'd be great if JJ & Hugh made up and did an acoustic gig as a duo under their own names (rather than The Stranglers) where they played only Stranglers stuff from 1974-1990 (hits, rarities etc.), but the reality of it is...

Re: New JJ interview French site
That's a fair point re: the revenue streams from his songs being played and the artistic freedom it allows him. Dunno. Some of the comments arrowed at his former bandmates have been a bit withering at times. As a fan, I personally think it would be great to see JJ and Hugh put their differences beh...

Re: New JJ interview French site
I am sure the replacement will be very good. However, will they be able to match Dave’s creativity that produced those remarkable keyboard runs in the first place. That is Dave’s true genius. Talking of Dave his keyboards are really to the fore on the clip of Water just put on the bands Facebook pa...

Re: New JJ interview French site
Well we all know JJ thought alot of Dave after all he was his friend for 46 years or so.I'm sure JJ is just trying under difficult cirmumstances to move forwards with the band and has just brought in a very good keyboard player and at the end of the day that is whats needed for this band to move fo...

Re: New JJ interview French site
Thanks for that, but it seems to raise more questions than it answers, the altercation with Dave and it seems in rather bad taste, JJ more or less saying the keyboards are better technically with the replacement player, maybe it's the translation, I'm not sure of what to make of this, only certain ...

Re: The Great Elmyr
It's actually quite a clever name to have chosen - he's not the original but he does excellent 'forgeries' of some of the Stranglers' music 🎶😎 More power to him, the videos are good too 👍 What do you mean by 'Forgeries' of some of their music? Cover versions. The original Elmyr was a famous art for...
