Being a fan of something doesn't mean you have to accept everything that they do, though. Also, many people here seem to be forgetting how much shit PR got thrown his way back in the day. None of it by me, might I add.oliverj1999 wrote: ↑12 Mar 2024, 16:15 So much negativity on here, your supposed to be fans not haters.

Re: 50th Anniversary Setlist?
That montage of “The Stranglers”? The Stranglers. No inverted commas necessary. if that’s the incarnation of the band you enjoy, just go and listen to their first nine albums, or even 10 if you can bear it. If you prefer Hugh’s stuff now – good for you: lap it up. This is what I do anyway? Ignore t...

Re: 50th Anniversary Setlist?
The big question that has yet to be answered is has Stan ever seen the band or indeed Hugh live? Yes. It's totally irrelevant, though. Whether or not I've seen 1 gig or 10 gigs or 100 gigs or even 0 gigs doesn't change anything. It's a totally moot point. Besides, most people judge an artist on the...

Re: 50th Anniversary Setlist?
Stan - genuinely interested in your view of the band that wrote Norfolk Coast. I see Norfolk Coast mostly as an attempt by the three originals (plus Baz) to deliberately craft an album that's redolent of early Black/Burnel/Cornwell/Greenfield in a calculated attempt to resuscitate a career that was...

Re: 50th Anniversary Setlist?
Toby’s performance on Genetix and should he be doing it? Of course it’s not going to sound like Dave, how could it. Not that he didn't try, judging by the video footage. Not only is his voice completely unsuitable for the track (and therefore, we can assume all other Dave-sung songs too), but he tr...

Re: 50th Anniversary Setlist?
Just watched some footage of the gigs with Baz and whilst singing Golden Brown on cue goes to the front of the stage mid song and holds his hands out like the messiah of stranglers song writing egging the crowd on to adore him and cheer. Indeed. It's always been painfully grating to see the former ...

Re: 50th Anniversary Setlist?
But then what is worse? A band without Dave, and someone else playing his part, or no band at all ? I still think it's the perfect time for a JJ solo album. It makes far more sense to me than trying to jump-start some life into a brand where the moment has long gone. My answer would be GB. I'm a te...

Re: 50th Anniversary Setlist?
OK, being positive, tell us some of your best memories of watching the Stranglers when Hugh was still there. Even better, how about you go and ask several random members of the general public to name a song by The Stranglers. If they can, I guarantee you that three quarters of JJ Burnel & Frien...
