Re: Birmingham
Stan come on man, are you really saying they hired him just because he was available and up for it? I don't recall hearing about them auditioning hordes of drummers to find a suitable replacement, do you? True. But do they run every decision past you my dear? I believe that the Management will do a...

Re: New Killing Jokes track
An EP 25th March. Vinyl in September. Some nice dub mixes on the EP. I too had expected a bit of variation/progression. It is very much in the vein of the last 3 albums but I would like to see it opened up a bit more. What I am pleased about is that it is a concise track and not a 6 minute overblow...

Re: This current Stranglers is still The Stranglers.
Stan, surely that's enough for you? I don't rate Jim as a drummer, no. I find his playing really lumpen and his style far too heavy-handed for The Stranglers. Dark Matters threw into sharp relief just how vital and irreplaceable a component of The Stranglers' sound Jet was/is. Jim is a different dr...

Re: This current Stranglers is still The Stranglers.
Your style of posting doesn’t lend itself to debates Stan Quite! It comes from a bombastic stance that seems unable to discuss without getting over excited. I have this mental image of Stan sitting in a room with wipe clean Hugh Cornwell pictures waiting for someone to say something he disagrees wi...

Re: No more amps?
Technology always has! It's just one of those old things where you have to have the amps there because it looks cool. The old 80s metal thing of having walls of speaker cabinets was such a corny joke because they would all be empty and hidden round the back would probably be an old battered amp that...

Re: This current Stranglers is still The Stranglers.
That so many of those bands from 40 years ago are still around today is totally unexpected. I wouldn't have believed you back then had I been told. Imagine if you'd been told in the '80s while "Nellie the Elephant" was in the charts that a member of the Toy Dolls would not only go on to b...

Re: This current Stranglers is still The Stranglers.
Are they Minni Vanilli? Anyway. Seriously I too was at Guildford with Jonimac as it happens and the feeling I got was that it was very much accepted that it was The Stranglers! Look, Baz has done his time with the band, he has his stripes, Jim does a grand job but I have to say Toby was a huge pleas...
