Couldn’t think of anything worse.

Could be alot worse. It's kind of the only thing from the giants era to make it in to the set.

Haha yeah true lol

Have to agree with Kudo ... leave Genetix alone, had a look on YT from Glasgow and wasn't really impressed with vocal or anything else, actually went and made a cuppa halfway through.,SO's Mick does a better job.

Hope they leave it alone at Halifax gig.

Not sure I've ever heard Hallow to Our Men live before and I've been going to see them since 78. Missed a few years when PR was in the band but not missed many tours.

They played it on the MIB tour

Don't think they've ever played 'Waltz' Live .... although Hugh has ....

“White Stallion, the closest The Stranglers have got to genius” ….. Somebody needs to call a nurse :lol: I thought the same - JJ tends to forget its not teenagers anymore that hang on every word he says that read these articles anymore but adults in there 50+ that tend to roll their eyes at comment...

Think most of the work of WS was done by Louis to warrant 'Genius'

If you define the "blame" as JJ holding grudges then that's in his remit. I don't get the feeling Hugh has a grudge against JJ - I think he's disappointed they couldn't remain on speaking terms or whatever. I can't for one second imagine Hugh writing a book like JJ's and going to town on ...

Acoustic sets are old hat now, I find them pretty boring. On the other hand, artists like Frank Turner is still a good acoustic gig, and BW tbh though its quite a few years since I've seen him.

Nice one Will listen are, Hooky said once everytime he meets him, JJ never recognises him

Edit: The time he mentions was the Kubix festival 2019.

Glad other people on here like him, managed to catch him on his last 3 or 4 tours and never fails to disappoint ... not sure the 'scotch' people would agree

One comedian to catch is Stewart Lee, seeing him in March :-)
