Burning Up Time - The Stranglers and Hugh Cornwell Unofficial Forums

An EP 25th March. Vinyl in September. Some nice dub mixes on the EP. I too had expected a bit of variation/progression. It is very much in the vein of the last 3 albums but I would like to see it opened up a bit more. What I am pleased about is that it is a concise track and not a 6 minute overblown...

Stan, surely that's enough for you? I don't rate Jim as a drummer, no. I find his playing really lumpen and his style far too heavy-handed for The Stranglers. Dark Matters threw into sharp relief just how vital and irreplaceable a component of The Stranglers' sound Jet was/is. Jim is a different dr...

Not long! Hope it's appreciated as jest!

Your style of posting doesn’t lend itself to debates Stan Quite! It comes from a bombastic stance that seems unable to discuss without getting over excited. I have this mental image of Stan sitting in a room with wipe clean Hugh Cornwell pictures waiting for someone to say something he disagrees wi...

Technology always has! It's just one of those old things where you have to have the amps there because it looks cool. The old 80s metal thing of having walls of speaker cabinets was such a corny joke because they would all be empty and hidden round the back would probably be an old battered amp that...

That so many of those bands from 40 years ago are still around today is totally unexpected. I wouldn't have believed you back then had I been told. Imagine if you'd been told in the '80s while "Nellie the Elephant" was in the charts that a member of the Toy Dolls would not only go on to b...

Are they Minni Vanilli? Anyway. Seriously I too was at Guildford with Jonimac as it happens and the feeling I got was that it was very much accepted that it was The Stranglers! Look, Baz has done his time with the band, he has his stripes, Jim does a grand job but I have to say Toby was a huge pleas...

Baz and Jim certainly playing live throughout Stallion which was superb by the way!

Okay. What If.... After 1990 and Hugh leaving. JJ, Jet and Dave called it quits. They may have continued like Hugh and release and played some Strangler material live, or not, doesn't matter. Then say around 2000, Hugh purchased (for whatever reasons) the rights to call him and his band of musician...

Funny how some say it's not The Stranglers with just one original member yet PIL continues with just Lydon and there isn't much debate....
