Re: Embellishments and deviations
The guitar is fine, the sound is terrible, it bounces around the stage and kinda tracks back on itself. Jim The All Live Version of Toiler is one of the best versions ever,the drums as fantastic, Agreed, I've been listening to that version loads recently, it's bloody great. I think it's been heavily...

Re: Your fav album of the moment....
I'm revisiting their back catalogue. I quite like the vibe on "First Band On The Moon" very 60s/Summer-esque. I'm starting to file them next to Cud and Boo Radleys (i.e a band I hated in the 90s but possibly as I've grown older I've come to respect). Jim My album of the moment is The Cardi...

Re: Embellishments and deviations
You can be the world's greatest drummer but you can also ruin a song by embellishing. Just watch Clem Burke on the toiler intro. Losses the soul of it completely

Re: Tour Blog

Having a Gentle Giant binge: Acquiring the Taste, Three Friends, Octopus, In a Glass House, The Power and The Glory, Free Hand... sublime. Never got round to listening to Gentle Giant.

Re: Would you see The Stranglers without JJ?
Well according to the poll (and a fair number have voted) a quarter would carry on seeing the band with no Strangler.
