Burning Up Time - The Stranglers and Hugh Cornwell Unofficial Forums

Must be very dispiriting for the band to see this contrived media driven hysteria wrecking their plans, time and again. Not as dispiriting is it for people like me to read dismissals of life threatening pandemics as "contrived media driven hysteria", although I'm sure your mileage may var...

Sorry no Jim poem i was about to release it when some how my work got deleted and i can't retrieve it,so i'm gutted it was about two months worth of work mind you those who don't like poems might be happy i suppose lol I will do one for Jim maybe in the new year but it was by far my best piece to d...

Duran Duran also released albums and toured in the 90s/early 2000s with only 2 original members, Indeed they did. However, nobody except the seriously dyed-in-the-wool Duran Duran diehards cares about any of that material. Basically, with the exception of the Notorious (which still had four origina...

OK just to throw a huge spanner in the works, are Duran Duran, Simon Le Bonn and friends as they don't Have Andy Taylor? The reason they are still The Stranglers is they still have JJ, Baz been in the band over 20 years and Jim since 2012,sadly we all know Dave passed away, Hugh left and Jet retire...

Some on here are working from the mistaken beilief that Shug was entirely responsible for all the MK1 hit songs, and therefore of far greater importance than as a mere 1/4 of the band.. :roll: The fact is that Mr Greenfield was mainly responsible for their greatest hit (Golden Brown) and arguably h...

I only saw them once without Jet and it didn't really hit the spot for me I'm afraid. Now without Dave it seems like a different world entirely. Jim Agree with the jet point. But..I still loved the gigs post jet and went every year. On balance it was still better to go than not to go. I'll still go...

Does Hugh's greatest fan and admirer also know when we get the new album from Mr Melody Hugh Cornwell which will certainly surpass the tribute Stranglers act latest effort called Dark Matters? :mrgreen: I dunno. Ask him/her. The only thing that I can be certain of as a mere fan of his solo work is ...

Yeah he calls that out regularly in interviews - He's glad that band continue to play them as it goes towards funding his next solo record etc. Win win! Dunno what "decline" you're referring to BTW. Jim Perhaps but I could also point out the decline in HC fortune's since leaving the Stran...

Perhaps but I could also point out the decline in HC fortune's since leaving the Stranglers. I assume he is as thankful for those mk1 songs as Baz. The songs which were performed by the Stranglers. Cant imagine those songs would have had the success without them all. Sent from my SM-A226B using Tapa...

The guitar solo reminded me of Les Dawson doing his comedy piano playing routine. [emoji23]
