Burning Up Time - The Stranglers and Hugh Cornwell Unofficial Forums

I think the way our elections are becoming are too presidential these days. People forget that you are voting for a local m.p first not Cameron/miliband/clegg etc unless they are the people who are members of parliament for your constituency. Also it is important to read the manifestos of each party...

Any of those screechy metal type singers the bloke from AC/DC gets on my nerves and Bruce Dickinson a bit. Never rated Shane Mcgowan and some of those Mariah Carey type singers.

Does anyone like their music just got his/their current album HYPNOTIC EYE great stuff.

I am fed up with Africa being portrayed as a disease ridden backwater all the time it is quite a rich continent in some places. Why can't the countries there help each other out properly. With all the charity it gets nothing seems to be getting any better. Ebola is a slightly different case I suppos...

Somewhat contrived don't you think and certain pop stars being cherry picked to record yet another version. Bono has been pulled out to sing one line again . I have a lot of respect for Geldof and what he has done for charity but one re-recording too far now.

just recently (re)watched THREADS..... http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Threads http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/thumb/3/35/Threadsmoviecover.jpg/168px-Threadsmoviecover.jpg bring it on :twisted: I don't think all parties are mad enough to let it go as far as ending the world as that would be i...

I think they should have called it a day if all the original members were not committed to the band long term for a proper reunion including new stuff. Obviously with Jerry Dammers missing they were missing something lyrically for any new venture and it took long enough for all ex members to get bac...

I think they got away with it without Jerry Dammers but without the other two not worth seeing for me not at that price anyway. Neville can't tour anymore due to ill health and Roddy had issues with the others and is concentrating on his own band now.

I'm doing one of the Quo gigs at Hammersmith for once a support act worth seeing! Will be a great night all round..

The TV series was funny for the first two series and some of the specials but has gone on too ,long now and worn a bit thin with special guests stars popping up. Bring Johnny Vegas back. As for the actual place never been and don't really want to can't see the point of going all that way just to sit...
