Re: Would you see The Stranglers without JJ?

So that means no original members. The band being Baz, Toby, Jim and someone else on bass. Oh and the band are still calling themselves "The Stranglers" (I know that's important to some of you) Jim I think it’d greatly depend upon the situation, how did JJ leave, who had replaced him in t...

Given that I won't go and see JJ Burnel & Friends live NOW, you already know what my answer is.
Or any other Stranglers line~up that’s ever existed

Re: Tour Epitaph

Looking at all the comments on how great the current line up is and how it was in some people's opinions being equal or better than the original line up. How convenient of a day and i shall wish everyone a happy April fools day :lol: Don’t think anyone has commented the current line-up is better th...

Re: Tour Epitaph

RAH: A great set-list, peerlessly performed to a responsive and appreciative audience, in an exceptional venue (plus a weird/quirky support/intro act, in the Japanese drummers); what more can you want. I first saw the Stranglers in ‘81 and have seen every line-up since multiple times. The Stranglers...

Wishing Baz a speedy recovery, hope is he’s better enough for RAH on Tuesday https://www.facebook.com/photo/?fbid=961602088662589&set=a.261673388655466&__cft__%5B0%5D=AZXLUHczXcThcuPeanamw9No8xXfY2azoSgom4Bx2_G2RvtJpjdx-qq1HKBRZwh2tAKH8zJLiujJvlqHp3zdyj6S29rrkXDAB0so0TNFk51cAR3M2ihe9XekELksj...

Re: The Interval

What happens? Do you get choc ices? Jim Sent from my Pixel 6 using Tapatalk I saw Lou Reed on his New York album tour at the London Palladium when he did two sets (first one all of the New York album, second one a normal set) with an interval. They actually had the old style usherettes with ice cre...

Re: 50th Anniversary Setlist?

Just heard Ships That Pass In The Night on Youtube. Sounds great! Yes it was a good version I've not long heard it and it's a song for a long time baz has liked and I think he wanted to do. I've also just heard Genetix too and obviously nobody can replicate Dave's way of singing this song with his ...

Re: 50th Anniversary Setlist?

The big question that has yet to be answered is has Stan ever seen the band or indeed Hugh live? Yes. It's totally irrelevant, though. Whether or not I've seen 1 gig or 10 gigs or 100 gigs or even 0 gigs doesn't change anything. It's a totally moot point. Besides, most people judge an artist on the...

Re: 50th Anniversary Setlist?

I still think it's the perfect time for a JJ solo album. It makes far more sense to me than trying to jump-start some life into a brand where the moment has long gone. Why do a solo album when the Stranglers are sounding and doing so well live, and still able to record great albums such as Dark Mat...
