Burning Up Time - The Stranglers and Hugh Cornwell Unofficial Forums

Yep. The guitar parts he plays are almost robot like copies just like on the record. Prime example I guess is the intro on Toiler. Jim Well "copying" implies that he's trying to sing and play live exactly as Hugh did live. And I don't think he is doing that at all. both JJ and Baz have sa...

Is he not an incredible drummer? No, I find his playing to have a stiff rigidity to it that lacks the tight-but-loose finesse and jazz influenced touch of Jet's playing. I find his style completely unsuitable for the material he's given to play - particularly anything that deviates from a standard ...

Never Say Goodbye

So can only tell you how it was for me. Went with my friend Husband and Son (23) In afternoon I slipped on a grate!!!! Spectacular full length o my arse!! Lucky didn’t bang my head or could’ve been over before it began. Anyway Ruts DC brilliant Been loads different gigs and never seen a support ban...

Went to Manchester last night, place was packed to the rafters and have to say that they were absolutely awesome. Whilst this thread debates what is now and what once was Im happy that I was there last night just as I was in 78. Its in my blood. I felt exactly the same way when I saw them in France...

When Hugh left the band I had the same attitude as Stan,for over 20 years,that was it,the Stranglers was done And that was only with Hugh leaving! I have a brother who also a member of the familyinblack,but he stuck with them,through thick and thin We had many discussions about it,I was always a Hug...

Is it fundamental that the members of a band remain the same for them to hold on to the name of the band? It depends on the band. Not all bands work the same way. What about the scenario if a band changes their sound/style dramatically but keeps their members? Like Radiohead did? Not a problem at a...

The Stranglers is not an individual
It's a collective sound and an attitude

Not my words

Jet Black's

It wont happen, JJ has been asked recently about a solo album and he has no plans for one. Lt Kudu. Yes, I know he has "no plans" for one (which isn't the same thing as "it won't happen"), but that would be my preferred outlet/vehicle for JJ's songwriting. You do know he's nearl...

They did exactly and so beautifully the sort of tribute i wanted them to give Dave...It sure wasn't easy for JJ and Baz but so beautifully done for Dave...They did him proud well done to the both of you. The performance of "And if You Should See Dave..." to me is what JJ & Baz should ...

By his response I'm guessing he's not gonna bother. Just a hunch :lol: Jim Over half of the set is made up of material from the first four Stranglers albums. They have 18 albums that are "crying out to be played", do they not? (Apparently) ... also, 1 track each from Norfolk Coast and Sui...
