Burning Up Time - The Stranglers and Hugh Cornwell Unofficial Forums

A sad end to a talented actor. R.I.P.

I look forward to your report - I'm seeing them in Pontypridd on Saturday night, so I hope they are on their usual top form.

Hi, It does indeed look like the gig went ahead;here's a quote from 'A Multitude Of Sins' p.202: "CUT TO:NEW YORK,1981 I'm sitting backstage at Bond's with a beer,watching Diana Ross and Gene Simmonds from Kiss playing pinball in front of me.The Stranglers have just finished a show there and B...

Incidently, someone "in the business" told me Squeeze would reform this year. Jim Another interesting band. I'm sure I saw a TV programme that tried to reform Squeeze either last year or the year before. Jools Holland and the drummer (can't remember his name) didn't show up for the 'reuni...

It would be fantastic if the Jam ever did reform, but as you say, I think that this is highly unlikely. The trouble is that the expectations of the fans would be so high, that no matter what was released, it would be very difficult to live up the the great work done by the band in the 1980's. Just l...

So did the gig go ahead then and is that recording correct?! Jim Having read the article again, it does confirm that their tour was actually delayed, which suggests that they had to stay in America in order to complete the tour at Bonds, NY. Therefore, I would say that the gig did go ahead on the 2...

There has been a lot of good press recently about the Kaiser Chiefs, so I have just got their CD 'Employment'. It's great to hear a band who can really play thier instruments. They have an energy that I haven't heard for some time. The best tracks are 'Every Day I LOve You Less and Less' and 'I Pred...

Thanks for that Gaz - nice bit of research!

Jim, I've just come across a concet that is said to be recorded at Bonds in New York dated 20/6/81. The set list is similar to those around the same time, but there are also some interesting changes, such as Wog being included (which was not included in others around this time). I have no reason to ...

I never had much time for Geroge G before he went into the BB house, but after last night's outburst, I am really discgusted by him. Whilst I believe in the freedom of speach, there is no justification for verbally kicking a man when he is down. Barrymore has gone through a lot and is trying to rebu...

Yep great live moment that one. Cockney "wankaah!!" with Hugh`s eccentric "Isn`t he gonna own up then?". Genius moment. Anyone else would have just ignored it. Jim Yeah, and many other groups would have edited it out from the official recording. A typical moment from the Strangl...
