Re: 50th Anniversary Setlist?

Hugh probably did the concept idea but he didn't make the connection between the Bible and UFOs though as i remember reading a book about that subject well before the Meninblack album came out. It was an already thought out theory and interpretations already made from the stories in the Bible. Char...

Re: 50th Anniversary Setlist?

I really hope that the band do record new material but they do so taking artistic risks and experiment more. I think a lot will depend on Toby. He is obviously a very good keyboardist who can duplicate Dave's sounds live. But how good is he at writing music outside of the box as Dave did on many tr...

Re: 50th Anniversary Setlist?

Think Toby gave it a good effort but really think Dave-sung numbers should be left alone for songs they hadn't played live before which they said/implied they would do for this tour?

Re: 50th Anniversary Setlist?

If they do something from MK2 I hope they consider In Heaven She Walks. I think Baz's voice would be great fit for that.

Re: 8 bit Arcade Stranglers

Is this one of those youtube channels where they listen to songs by request? I generally find the reaction videos cringe

Re: Dark Matters has it stood the test of time?

Had DM been an Mk1 album with Hugh playing guitar to JJs vocals on say Water and not Baz would many think it was a better because Hugh was there on guitar and not Baz? They both got different styles. I always find Baz a little too overpowering with his guitar tho DM had moments of him tuning it dow...
