Burning Up Time - The Stranglers and Hugh Cornwell Unofficial Forums

They could still gig without JJ but just not to as a big audience. I think Baz and probably the whole band who has joined understands this bands past traditions with the originals and what it means to fans and I honestly can't Imagine them carrying on for one minute after JJ exists... without him or...

Hugh's made no secret of being influenced by Cliff over the years. The big epic melodies like the starts of Toiler, Time to Die, Raven etc are apparently JJ hallmarks, so maybe he's influenced too. Well maybe as we know too JJ's influencial past is massive too from old bands and musicians he enjoye...

The Shadows influence and comparison towards Hugh song writing or performance has shocked me and i have to say disappointed me as well but i have to say i cant deny its a very good strong point being made and I can see now how vocally and lead Guitar parts does kind of fit well to that suggestion. ...

I always got the impression Ally is slowed on purpose. There's that deliberate slow build up with the lighthouse effect then Hugh trying to be the Shadows with John Ellis. Jim Sent from my Pixel 6 using Tapatalk Ýes lol....we know Hugh loves a shadows lead....take One a Million his shadows lead... ...

Now Dave has gone (To me there is no Stranglers) I know that's gonna piss some people off, but Hugh and Dave to me were The Stranglers and made it for me No, i totally agree with you its certainly how i see it and that has been ever since the most prominent member Hugh Cornwell left. Now that addit...

One of the things I love about Jet is that he does just enough, absolutely solid but gives space for the other instruments. His style is all his. What I mean by that is if you hear that clip of Tank you can tell it's Jet playing , play Toiler from another gig with Jet and you can tell it's him. I d...

Not having that JBD, Although I would agree that that video isn’t a great example. Jet Black plodded through Toiler from about 1983 himself. I was at Ally Pally, and when they started with Toiler, I actually still remember thinking that it was far too slow. The All Live version, is another tough li...

Jet's drumming was second to none who filled the song just perfectly being the professional he was and for sure his past jazz experinace more than shows that to be the case again and again. I think which was a completely different faze out to toiler that I love so much was his drums to the ending of...
