Burning Up Time - The Stranglers and Hugh Cornwell Unofficial Forums

I wouldn't go even if there was a Hamper from Fortnum and Masons.The reason I still go is because JJ is still in the band,but as I have said I think the other 3 all do a great job,but seriously as much as I like Baz, please do not let him carry on when JJ decides to pack it in,JJ doesn't need the m...

Or any other Stranglers line~up that’s ever existed Incorrect. This is becoming April fools day,no JJ no Stranglers end of.Major Kudu. If it did happen, some would perform the necessary mental gymnastics to convince themselves that it's somehow a good idea. Yes as for some fans seeing the Strangler...

This was supposed to be a positive thread about the tour and not about whether it's still the Stranglers or a tribute band ? Of course all views are valid,whether you have seen the band as they are are now,I totally get that the Stranglers or tribute band? Are nothing like the original lineup obviou...

Seems to me a few on this chat are not happy that the band are doing well.and been successful.The past few year's have been hard with the loss of 2 legends but JJ &Baz have brought in for me 2 great musician's so while they can still make great music ie DM and sell.out larger venues we should b...

Interesting, very interesting. Yeah I was gonna expand on the votes but having it like this encourages the debate Would it sway people if the band without JJ had "JJ's blessing" ? Jim Personally for me no JJ no Stranglers,he's such a strong iconic presence and seems to really have enjoyed...

Hell fucking no,no,no and thrice fucking no,I have tourettes,I'm am sure when JJ decides to pack it in,it will be the end,with JJ you still have massive part of what the band were,but without JJ please no.Major Styles Diddy.

At the end of the day it's just a form of entertainment, and as far as I've been able to tell everyone is having a great time at the gigs. If you start analysing then of course it's nothing like the Stranglers of old, but then nothing about the world itself is like it was back then. Personally I do...

I dont understand why everyone is so invested in pretending that its a band of four equals? I've been wondering this myself, and the only conclusion I can come to is because it's a way of rationalising to themselves JJ's decision to continue and their decision to go to the gigs. If people invest in...

Does anyone ever say that ACDC are not ACDC because Bon Scott isn't in them? Not just him but Cliff has retired,Malcolm Young passed away and Rudd was kicked out of the band leaving Angus as the only original.They'll still be packing out stadiums this summer though,with hundreds of thousands of del...

I didn't say they were as good as the original lineup,but from the Half gig I saw in Portsmouth they were fantastic and IMHO still worthy of being called the Stranglers,and I'm not delusional its just my opinion of what I heard and saw.Major Kudu.
