Burning Up Time - The Stranglers and Hugh Cornwell Unofficial Forums

I wonder if there's human league fans who hate that they've become a cabaret act? Are fans general happy or not that they're singing being boiled in the style of nightclub singers. It was actually quite interesting to see H17 play Reproduction and Travelogue live back to back recently considering t...

People hate that hugh left the band in the lurch. There's talk about how some can't get over the idea of a stranglers without hugh, but probably more can't forgive him for giving up and the stranglers being a shadow of their former selves without him. Yup. Nothing but the plain and simple truth, th...

He succeeded in really annoying me, so fair play to him Indeed. I can only perceive the fact that he annoys a subset of Stranglers die-hards as a good thing.

In some fictional universe.where Hot Cat On A Tin Roof, Harry Power, Known Unto God and Miss You (both versions :lol: ) don’t exists. Yes, "Known Only Unto God" and both the WIR and CdG versions of "Miss You" are utter garbage. "Hot Cat on a Tin Roof" and "The Sto...

and Dare respectively, both acts were - very quickly and early in their career - make a break from their past and were able to re-establish themselves to a degree where not only were they very successful, but the majority of people consider those line-ups to be the "classic" line-ups. Dis...

Oh my god I'm going to sound like Stan but i think all Hughs solo albums are higher quality than any Stranglers albums until they woke up with NC I mean, you're not wrong at all but I'd probably go further. If Norfolk Coast and Suite XVI are the best offerings to be released under the Stranglers na...

I mean, if only it worked like that!

i'd like them to do a gig of just post-Hugh stuff,think would be interesting change It would be. Or rather it would have been, if PR hadn't left the band and MKIII had continued to establish itself with Suite XVI. I think they then could have got away with a setlist mostly made of tracks from Norfo...

Wrong again, the Reason is they are still a fantastic live band and have the greatest frontman ever, and people love their music. You seem to think your views are above everyone else's, wrong again.I suppose they are Jagger and friends now without Mr Watts.He gave his blessing for the Stones to con...

You're always more than welcome to talk about the gig, Kudu, which I'm very much noticing you NOT doing.

They are part 2 of my triumvirate of overrate. 3 bands who I can never understand why they generate such adulation with such patchy output. (1) The Stones (2) The Clash (3) Primal Scream The Rolling Stones' adulation is based on being an excellent singles band up until 1968 until briefly turning in...

Stan. when you look around you and everyone around you tells you that you are wrong, maybe you are? The thing is that when it comes to the current band calling itself "The Stranglers" I don't think that I am. The Ants. Second album . MASSIVE. One man and a new band. Tribute? Human League ...
