Re: Tour Epitaph
Anyhow, I take comfort in the fact that when the band is long over, it'll be 1977-1990 that'll be remembered, just like it is now. Nobody is going to remember any of this JJ Burnel & Friends bollocks or treat it with any reverence or relevance. It's already irrelevant to most in the present day...

Re: Tour Epitaph
It may very well have been a few evenings of Stranglers music competently performed by JJ Burnel and three other guys, but that doesn't make it The Stranglers. Calling it so requires a real stretch of the imagination and a colossal amount of mental gymnastics. Looking at pictures of the band now rem...

Re: 50th Anniversary Setlist?
He may have been the initial spark of inspiration due to the literature he was reading, but it was Hugh that moulded those disparate ideas of UFOs and bible stories into the concept. Unless you're suggesting Jet wrote the lyrics, which he didn't.
