Burning Up Time - The Stranglers and Hugh Cornwell Unofficial Forums

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.

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...

Blimey most bands will adjust a song a bit over the years... a little Jiggery pokery what band doesn't and especially as they are now being done by different musicians too who on the whole are playing it on the tin. If many are scrutinising bits of endings/beginning or wherever through a song to ho...

I don't think you can slag a blog off can you? It's just some guys opinion. Shame JJ doesn't do one. Id read that. Jim Sent from my Pixel 6 using Tapatalk I agree too with what you say Jim.... A blog is his opinion only and j think he's been open and quite emotionally honest on what he's seeing aro...

Baz's tour diary is up on the site now: https://thestranglers.co.uk/bazs-50th-anniversary-tour-diary/ What's the first thing I did? Why I found the clip of Relentless from Manchester of course. Yes it's a bit rough but shit happens. I always find the live vocal on Relentless a bit iffy - the versio...

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. Why would Baz lie? A really good read.Major Kudu. You could believe it could of b...

I'm no bass player but I've heard that JJ's stuff is fairly easy to play, it's the finesse, delivery and showmanship that he's good at. Similar to replacing Hugh in a way - easy to copy but not so easy to come up with the inventive creativity. Jim irreplaceable is......Presence,fitness,personality,...
