Burning Up Time - The Stranglers and Hugh Cornwell Unofficial Forums

Blimey most bands will adjust a song a bit over the years... a little Jiggery pokery what band doesn't and especially as they are now being done by different musicians too who on the whole are playing it on the tin. If many are scrutinising bits of endings/beginning or wherever through a song to ho...

Yes a very good read.Major Kudu.

Why would Baz lie? A really good read.Major Kudu.

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...

Well they seem to have consciously changed the end of Tank, and dropped the 3/8 bit that Jet did. Feels a bit sloppy to me. I'm not mad on Toby's solo either, the pitch bend neither comes from, or goes to, anywhere. Sir yes definitely changed things and not for the better,but no one can play like J...

I think the final nail in his coffin was JJ & BW writing together etc in a cottage down wherever it was .... And Paul's stuff was rejected. (Did I read PR pushed a tape/cd thought the door?) Yep, that's correct. What I do know was that there was a padded envelope on the doormat one morning with...

Paul did do some great work on a couple of the albums but was a joke on stage, in my opinion. Did JJ get rid because he realised things had to change? Does anyone really know what happened to Paul? You will get different opinions of why Paul left,it's been well documented,the reason he left.Major K...

I would much rather see the Stranglers without JJ than this embarrassment of a performance https://youtu.be/P63NnqRska8?feature=shared This brings back exactly why I gave up going to see "JJ, Jet, Dave and friends" for quite a few years. Baz totally turned things around. Yes shocking foot...

My Harrington Style Jacket arrived a few days ago,I went for XL but usually a Large,small sizing but it's a great fit and really good quality,I'm one of the Stranglers Fashionistas now, someone even said nice Jacket,a rather attractive young Lady in the bank who I always have a Joke with,no sexist c...

Please no! The brass was the beginning of the end for mk1. They should never have been on more than one album or tour. I hated what they did to some of the songs (Sleazy etc) at gigs. Always liked the all live version of Nice n Sleazy Yes I loved the version they did with the brass,re worked the so...

I doubt anyone will play it? And I'm sure it will be on sale on flea bay in few days for £200 plus.

Nice one fella, seeing them In Bristol next month, did you buy the re-worked Westworld? Yes I did buy the re-worked Westworld,I really like it,you can't beat the original album,but this is sort of recorded live in Studio,it's rawer than the original and Kirk's voice has changed over the years,but i...
