Re: Who is britians best ever punk band!
Well if the Stranglers were "punk" for the first 3 albums then they were the best ever without a doubt ! If they were never punk then I don't know. I liked the Pistols but they didn't do a lot, only what 1 or 2 albums ? But yes their sound was great. What about the other big 2 ie Jam &...

Re: straighten out best tribute band ever.
Some great covers. Very talented, good luck to him. I rate him / them because they are not just a bunch of old stranglers fans like Straighten Out having a good time on stage, but because he /they are young, nail every bloody note, and make the songs sound fresh again. The "Antifa" look, ...

Re: Damned Original Reunion on the cards?
Would a MGE set with Algy Ward be a reasonable request, or is that a non starter?. Not really sure what the reasosns were for that separation. When i spoke to Algy after a Tank gig i was lead to believe that Rat was one of the main reasons he left. Been watching the Damned Show videos on YT. Sensib...

Re: Ginger Baker RIP-possibly the greatest drummer ever?
No most drummers are good blokes,the ex Strangler I was alluding to was ? not a drummer. Unfortunately I missed out on the opportunity to see him play. I did however bump into him whilst sightseeing in Rome when I was about 15. Coincidentally an older relative of mine who is also my doppelganger ha...
