Burning Up Time - The Stranglers and Hugh Cornwell Unofficial Forums

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...

Theatre of Hate and Spear my second favourite bands after some chaps who wear black 😂 TOH led by the survivor of many health problems last year the unstoppable Kirk Brandon,and partner in crime Stan Stammers,the only two original members of TOH in band,so Kirk and friend,said with Black Irony,the re...

Yes Jim is a great drummer but he I don't like his I intro to Tank,and the way he ends the song,also Jet used to play beat on ride Cymbal after the initial snare to hi hat intro, whilst Jim plays it mostly on the Hi Hat,it effects the dynamics and flow of song,I notice also be has changed the bass d...

Was anyone actually playing that little 'ting' sound in the verse of 'Hallow To Our Men'? https://youtu.be/fC6cIKeJzu0?si=eohM5U_W7el16JHf&t=113 Good spot! It may have been on one of Jim's pads to his left, same as the sounds he was using in Ships That Pass In the Night. Or it could have been a...

I don't get this JJ has dragged the group down scenario,the members of the band IMHO are high class,and you can't fool people,Baz does a great job as frontman,if they were crap no one would go and see them,I don't buy this shit that's it's people hanging on to something that's gone, just judge the b...

Now that's got me thinking,not trying to denigrate the tour as i was the one who started the thread then went off thread 😔 but just thinking about Jiggery pokery,there does seem to be more use of extra backing on a few songs ie Stallion,and Breathe had a loop,Baz started the song on Acoustic Guitar...
