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,...

Strange one especially as it was such a good single to very rarely do it live at the time...
Mind you what a catalogue to choose from we ain't gonna get it all but it must of been a choosen choice for whatever reason not to do it.

Skin Deep wasn't even performed on the tour of the album it was from.I don't recall it featuring on Dreamtime and 10 tours either.It may have been resurrected occasionally by the various line ups post 1990 but I don't think it's ever had a regular slot. Looks like it was played quite a bit in 85, t...

Stage presence.You either have or you don't.JJ has it and so did/does Hugh. Yep agreed....those two had it in abundance that's what made mk1 stand out as a band those two up front that made them so successful that can never be brought back. The music can be brought back and sound exactly the same t...
