Re: Embellishments and deviations
Re: French Tour Set Opener.... What lets that performance of "Nuclear Device" down for me are actually the performances of Jim and Baz. Jim's drumming is far too heavy handed and there's some inappropriate embellishments and deviations from the actual part, so it sounds odd - as if I'm li...

Re: Would you see The Stranglers without JJ?
So what would happen if Baz keeled over tomorrow, let's face it he's 60 and overweight, what would happen to the band then?

Re: Best Vocalist of the Punk Era, your Favourite.
Hugh sacked Chris, but he's much happier now with Kirk and TOH.Lt Kudu. Hugh doesn't "sack" anybody. Nobody who works with Hugh is assured of a permanent role in his backing group, and they're aware of this fact. Hugh either choose to work with somebody or he doesn't. And of course vice v...

Re: Jim
The only song where I dislike Jim's drumming is when he played Genetix, due to his kit set up ie only one mounted Tom and two floor toms it just didn't sound right to me as Jet had two mounted toms which is the set up you need to play it properly, of course Jet went from snare to right Tom to floor...
