Burning Up Time - The Stranglers and Hugh Cornwell Unofficial Forums

There was a fight at an OMD gig I was at a few years ago.. [emoji38] Really? That really surprises me. Lt Kudu. Could've been avoided if those involved were Talking Loud & Clear to each other There must have been some kind of Electricity in the air :lol: Maybe they was having a row about whethe...

... Anyone who isn't interested will be indifferent enough to not pass comment. [ Good advice :roll: :smt005 :lol: :smt005 The error the pair of you are making is assuming that I'm indifferent. When it comes to the legacy of this band, I'm anything but - but that should be apparent.

I don't think jj should stop playing live, stop playing strangler music or change the band name. But I bet fewer people than ever going to see them live could name all the band members. I don't know why some on here are seeing that three quarters of the current line up had no input into three quart...

All said and done it's a reasonable point to make. If for some bizarre reason someone saw the band who had never seen them live before I don't think it's too far removed for them to ask "who actually are the Stranglers these days?". The answer to which would raise an eyebrow. It is a bit ...

Not a perfect world though is it? Of course it isn't. If it was, we wouldn't be having this conversation! For me I thought the band could not carry on without Dave or JJ. However the reviews are sounding great Eh, the fact of the matter is anyone remotely interested in going to see the current Stra...

Yes but he can’t can he because he left “The Stranglers” More to the point, he doesn't want to go out on tour or make music as The Stranglers. That's not to say he wants to deny ever being in the band or that he isn't proud of the material. Why would he and why wouldn't he be? It's largely his work...

This is how a forum works, to be fair.

So please enlighten me or JJ for that matter, at exactly what point should he have dropped The Stranglers name? I pretty much answered this question a couple of pages ago, but in a nutshell... In a perfect world, the band would have called it a day after the Dreamtime album and tour and avoided mak...

Oh Fuck you’re telling me Hugh’s only playing his greatest hits! 🤣 For clarification, I was referring to JJ Burnel and Friends' set (and given that it was me that made the post, I would know what I intended) ... as for Hugh's set, it'll be 50% Stranglers classics and 50% solo material as has been h...

I was very surprised to see JJ not play that live but perhaps it's one of those where the vocals and the bass are difficult to do simultaneously. Eh, it doesn't strike me as being the sort of thing that JJ would have any problem playing while singing. There's a few songs that JJ doesn't struggle wi...

Spoiler alert: it's the greatest hits

Regardless of how emphatically you present your well trodden view, it’s simply one bloke’s take on it, no more. Fill your boots, for whatever buzz you seem intent on getting, but just accept other views are different and just as valid. So, your first point is that someone's opinion is an opinion. W...
