Re: No Hard Feelings

Do the band even know when stuff is being used? I've read something recently (but can't remember where, of course) that discussed when a band might be consulted on the use of their music in advance, and other circumstances where it would just be used and the appropriate payments made.

Re: Strangler in the light

But i think its been very obvious for quite some time now how JJ is a fair weathered friend and this book sounds like its confirming this. I don't know if that necessarily follows - people fall out over all sorts of things and I don't think that just because JJ and Paul were once friends and aren't...

Re: Strangler in the light

Yes I wouldn't know all the ins and outs of the band getting on or not pre Baz but that's what is so nice to see now I think that they all get on so well firstly as friends which Baz & JJ clearly do infact the four of them seem a very happy unit like work a happy work force will always best ach...

Re: Strangler in the light

let's not forget JJ and John had a big falling out during JJs Euroman tour,and I think it was a Physical altercation, I'm surprised that JJ can get over a physical scrap that apparently left JJ in the audience presumably feeling a bit foolish, and yet he's so vitriolic about John all these years af...

Re: Crap Joke No.83840370

There are two legionnaires in the desert, and they've been separated from their unit and are lost. They've been wandering for several days without food and water, and are nearly resigned to the fact that they will soon die from dehydration, when as they reach the top of a sand dune, they see a big, ...

Re: Strangler in the light

Paul left the band in 2006 we are talking 17 years ago ! and he's achievements are singing other peoples work. I have to agree that is a long wait for him to bring out an album well i wont hold my breath on how well that will do if the single is anything to go by. So you think the only reason he's ...

Cheap compared to a lot of artists, though. A mate of mine goes to a lot more gigs than I do, came to the Warrington gig on the last tour and commented on how many unknown acts that appear in local places are charging more than he paid for his Stranglers ticket.

Re: Strangler in the light

Sir as I always say it's truth from one persons perspective,I certainly never found J Ellis very friendly,so who knows I met him a couple of times at the HMV album signings and, in that context, he seemed OK, keeping in mind it's a public appearance so not necessarily what he's like in real life. H...

Re: Strangler in the light

And I was surprised how vicious he was about John Ellis, but I guess there are always two sides to things. John has said before that he totally refutes JJ's version of why he came to leave the band, but I've never seen him publish his version of events. Like Paul, I suspect he wants to move on rath...

Re: Crap Joke No.83840370

An Australian, an Irishman and a Scouser were in a bar staring at another man sitting on his own at a table in the corner. He was so familiar and not recognizing him was driving them mad. They stared and stared until suddenly the Irishman said, ‘My God, it's Jesus!' Sure enough it WAS Jesus, nursing...

Re: Crap Joke No.83840370

A priest who thought of himself as a healer is in the process of trying to perform a miracle. Priest: Stand up! A man slowly stood. Priest: Now walk, my child, walk! The man slowly started walking and the crowd was shocked. The priest then gave the microphone to the man. Priest: Now what can you say...
