Burning Up Time - The Stranglers and Hugh Cornwell Unofficial Forums

Well they seem to have consciously changed the end of Tank, and dropped the 3/8 bit that Jet did. Feels a bit sloppy to me.
I'm not mad on Toby's solo either, the pitch bend neither comes from, or goes to, anywhere.

Indeed, and very effective on Peaches.

Geddy Lee. I can't believe he's not been mentioned before. The bass, the voice, absolute shoe in.

Mini bus pick up/drop off has been mooted, half time spread and raffle.

A couple of years ago Roland Gift got circa 50k for one of the festivals.

Stranglers flask: Have quick slurp of broth while waiting at the stage door for Toby's autograph.
Travel blanket, for those international gigs.

Booklet of coupons: For money off everything.

Yes he is proud of his half a century and why not

Well my problem is Toiler, is that a Stranglers gig with only post 2000 material (when Baz's musical contribution started) isn't going to pull in even the most hardened of Stranglers fans, with or without a minibus and meat raffle.

I'm sure Baz can keep the good ship Stranglers afloat for a bit longer.

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...

Eagerly awaiting Stan's vote
