Burning Up Time - The Stranglers and Hugh Cornwell Unofficial Forums

As a neutral with Depeche Mode I really like this song I have to say,I remember their early synthpop then they evolved into a darker entity and had huge success in America,but this song is really good and Gahans voice is in good shape,it's nice to be positive about something.Major Kudu

To be serious for a second I think Baz knows it would be wrong to carry on when JJ has had enough,I think JJ would have been happy to finish after Dave passed but I get the impression Baz was the one who wanted to carry on? I maybe wrong? Major Kudu.

No JJ no Stranglers end of.Major Kudu.

Sir yes fair point,but hopefully Baz will have the class to stop with the Stranglers name If JJ decides to finish,as long as JJ is there they have some credibility,but please oh please no JJ no Stranglers,JJ is In great shape so at least a few more years,and the music will live on in Recorded form ...

Sir you have summed it up really,...

It was a brave statement to make in front of that audience.
