Re: Would you see The Stranglers without JJ?
It is a smart pattern but experienced drummers can play it.It’s not even worth responding except it is I would love to see those that say genetix isn’t too difficult to play to post themselves actually doing it

Re: Would you see The Stranglers without JJ?
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. The inventive creativity is the key. The way the origin...

Re: Would you see The Stranglers without JJ?
It is obvious he really enjoys it all still, I suspect his pension funds are fine already.Do you seriously think JJ did the last tour to top his pension up? What an utterly bizarre take in things.
Exactly...he's there now for the love of his craft and the much loved crowd interaction..

Re: Would you see The Stranglers without JJ?
Baz is the face of the band and all the focus is on him. He's the lead singer, the lead guitarist and a Co-riter of the songs they write today. Yes, very true, but 80% of the punters are there to enjoy the songs that were written over 15 years before he joined. He perfectly plays the guitarparts Hu...

Re: Would you see The Stranglers without JJ?

He's the lead Singer , the Lead guitarist he really is the driving force of the sound Yes, but we all know that 80% of the lyrics he sings and guitar parts he plays were written (and successful) over 15 years before he joined... Baz seems incred...

Re: Would you see The Stranglers without JJ?
I love the music so I think I would go and see them. And there's the social aspect, meeting up with fellow fans I encountered over the years is good fun. I did enjoy tribute bands for other music I like too and for the Stranglers' music, Four More Heroes were ace at the time. Havent seen the current...

Re: RAH
Controversial!They shoulda got a brass section back for a couple of songs - that woulda been interesting
It would be ok for a couple of tracks I suppose but please don't let them do the silly dances they used to do back in the day.
