Re: Embellishments and deviations
I don't like the album version of toiler as much as I once did.Too used to playing the slower version at Alexander Palace.It seems the other way round to me now,the album track too fast rather than the live one too slow

Re: Tour Blog
I didn't get that bit about Stafford.250 miles south of Glasgow and they only made it to their hotel late on.

Re: Tour Epitaph
Sorry but I can't believe it was hanging in the balance on the morning of the Albert Hall show.Any doubt whatsoever and it would've been pulled the day before.5000 fans with tickets,travel and accomodation booked.Nah.

Who are you surrounded with at a Stranglers gig? Random passers-by who've just come in because it was raining outside and there might be a meat raffle before the encore?

Frank Sidebottom was using it in the 80s so was definitely "a thing".

Re: Would you see The Stranglers without JJ?
Ha,ha.I don't recall that word being around in 1991.I doubt Hook would be so disrespectful even if he wasn't impressed.jetblacksdad wrote: ↑18 Apr 2024, 11:32
Hooky said they were "bobbins" which is slang for shite but was interpreted as praise due to ignorance.

Re: Would you see The Stranglers without JJ?
Baz contradicts himself in that blog.He says he wasn't 'complicit' in Paul leaving (his words)but then goes on to say the above,about going to Cornwall without him and not opening the parcel containing his CD.

Re: Would you see The Stranglers without JJ?
I do agree that fans return to attending gigs after the kids have grown up and the mortgage is paid,not just the Stranglers but any band.But I just can't picture a five piece Stranglers with Paul as the frontman singing all of the songs,pulling in full houses around the UK.Can't be proven one way or...

Re: Would you see The Stranglers without JJ?
Fans turned away in droves and the band ended up playing to 500 /700 people at many shows,compared to now.I think that says it all.

Re: Live album
That would limit their sales I would've thought.Don't understand this going back in time thing,with vinyl.

Re: Would you see The Stranglers without JJ?
As somebody else said,the last link to the original.It's bizarre enough without Hugh,Jet and Dave but without JJ too then it becomes a music hall joke.Literally
