Toby songs

[evonx]

Obviously not with Mungo Jerry but did Toby ever sing lead vocals with Rialto or other bands?

[ThinkTank]

Each to their own on the Dave sung songs the fact is as pointed out already Paul sung Hughs songs and Baz sing Hugh's,Paul's,JJ's and his own songs,Jim plays Jets patterns whose also sadly not here too but on his own kit,Baz plays Hugh's and John's and also his own lead parts and Toby plays Dave's material on Dave's keyboard.
The only one who hasn't changed with anybody else instrument and vocal parts wise is the only one original member left who has never changed since the beginning in '74 is....JJ!
I think rightly so after all that lot that the Stranglers is his band.
I still think of course do all the old hits after all it's what the paying fans want to hear and see from them and why not, but as the band has decided to carry on without now sadly Jet & Dave and fair play to them too i think that it would be good to hear new fresh and inventive material in their own right but obviously with the old hits still at the gigs but maybe they just want to carry on with the hits tour until they end ...who knows we will see in which future direction and path they will take after all it's their band at the end of the day and rightly so whatever they decide is right for them.

Its been a bit of a free for all with sharing vocal and music parts . For me that is the bit i cant accept as its far too important to me to keep that authenticity otherwise where do you stop let someone from the audience come up on stage and have a bash ? Don't forget JJ has shared /handed over the vocals to so many of his songs as well.
The next album will be very interesting as the band have always had Jet/Dave's input for the songs even if they didn't take part in the writing of it. It would be interesting to see how the new drummer and keyboardist fair on that one. Even better if it turns out to be the wow factor

I know its only my opinion and i can see that at the gigs there are thousands of fans that cant be wrong they all seem to be loving it. Its just not for me but i cant help myself to keep putting a shout out for the original line up lol. I hope it doesn't get boring but something in me just tries to hold on to that old band i loved so much i want that legend to not only to live on but be remembered.

I just had a look at the set list the band have been doing start of this year and last year. If that set list is accurate Hugh Cornwell must be laughing and rubbing his hands together. Lots of PRS forms to fill in for Baz & Co
JJ stays at the equivalent Ritz Hotel on tour while Baz and the rest of the band do with sharing twin rooms at the local Travelodge

You are either a brilliant stalker which i doubt or after reading other threads you have an inside information link which seems to be more the obvious one.
I was joking of course i was just really shocked and to be fair its very disappointing that even after all this time they still stick with the Hugh era of songs. I think that is an admittance of what they think of their own material in comparison as the only ones they are playing Is what they are promoting as the latest album. I think it says it all

Your oberservations have a very familiar style to them..I keep thinking "Where Have I read that before?".

That's a pretty good setlist imo.

There's a massive 31 Year Gap where no Songs are represented from Marks 2 3 4 and 5.

One 5th of the setlist are post Hugh and one of them is a cover version.
