Re: Embellishments and deviations
As they are, essentially, a touring band, JJ has surrounded himself with the ones he gets on with, and rightly so. I prefer to go see Straighten out where one is surrounded by Stranglers fans. What are you surrounded with at a Stranglers gig? Random passers-by who've just come in because it was rai...

Re: Would you see The Stranglers without JJ?
Interesting that half a year after Hugh's departure they already had written at least 5 or 6 new songs. Anybody knows which songs from In The Night album were written before Paul and John had joined the band, if this is the case? Isn't "Heaven or Hell" a John Ellis song, so not that one? ...

Re: Live album
Yes, it's on the store and FB: https://thestranglers.co.uk/fifty-years ... order-now/
I'd prefer a CD, really. I want to be able to listen to it.

Re: Songs played live all-time league table
Really? I think I have that, but it sounds as if I've never played it.twatinblack wrote: ↑12 Apr 2024, 08:25 The Zurich recording was same one used for the Stranglers Live in London CD, which is just confusing.

Re: Songs played live all-time league table
There was that live album "death and night and live" taken from the AS tour wasn't it? Skin Deep is on there and they're clearly using the radio mics cos Hugh says something just before Skin Deep kicks in I think that's the same gig as the "Anomalies" bootleg CD, which lists Ski...

Re: Embellishments and deviations
I don't know what any of that means, but the one thing that stands out for me is right at the very end of "Tank", where Jim doesn't do the drum twiddly bit the same as the original.

Barman: That bloke who played the villain in Skyfall came in here last night and started a fight.
Customer: Javier Bardem?

Re: The Gallery?
Well, the link is here: http://www.themeninblack.co.uk/gallery/index.php but it doesn't seem to be working. I've an idea that I read that it had been taken down because it wasn't being used, but I can't find where I saw that so I might have imagined it. I'm sure there used to be something that pulle...

Re: Would you see The Stranglers without JJ?
It would be very interesting to know how much their festival fee is! I've an idea I saw the Reading 1983 contract on the FB memorabilia group, and it was for £7.5k, so you can extrapolate from there. Except that every festival is different, for example I've heard that Glastonbury don't pay the mass...

Re: Tour Epitaph
JJ could do better financially and creatively on his own as would any other talented and creative song writer. Do you think? I'm not sure whether any solo album he put out now would do all that well for him financially, other than with interest from Stranglers fans, which isn't really a big market....
