It's miles off topic, but I believe it was Dave that made the initial comment re the Golden Brown solo. Hugh acknowledged it in Song by song iirc

The Production on 10 is horrible,but there are some good songs on it l,Out of my Mind is fantastic IMHO,but Jets drum machine sounds terrible on the Album.Major Kudu. The drum machine is overbearing on 10, in a way that it wasn't on Dreamtime or Aural, I think that's the biggest issue production-wi...

... it will be inferior compared to the original lineup.Major Kudu. :roll: No shit Sherlock :roll: Some people convince themselves that it's as good as ever? Major Kudu. I don't think they do Kudu. It's a nostalgia trip but I'll be sorry when it's all done, which won't be long from now.

Would like HoH to get a mention and I would like to hear a full on speaker blowing Coup de Grace. Powerful song IMO. Agreed. The...

Where do you stop Public Image without John Lydon, Killing Joke without Jaz Coleman, The Banshees without Siouxsie Sioux, Fingers without Jake Burns how about lets change and have a new Elvis Presley if its got the blessing of The Elvis Presley Estate. Where do you stop ? and if you are a Strangler...

The Baz one sounds like some guy in a tribute band talking about how great the original band were Which is pretty much the case 8) I'm very confused... ok so John says that he's very proud of Golden Brown but if I remember correctly he didn't even play bass on the original recording because he desp...

I see Baz talking in the Bristol Live in the what's on talking about the tour...saying they still get on and when they don't then it's time to stop. https://www.bristolpost.co.uk/whats-on/music-nightlife/stranglers-celebrating-50-years-frontman-9038898?fbclid=IwAR3CuJBk8sha2rOyqtC5O7ZYjQyxLmbU79erM...

Over rated bollocks to these ears

Early stuff is good. Murmur and Reckoning are two solid albums imo

Yep, seconded Kudu. RIP
