Burning Up Time - The Stranglers and Hugh Cornwell Unofficial Forums

Picked up the best of the Lightening Seeds a couple of days back from HMV for a fiver - really good. Knew half the songs, though didnt realise who had sung a couple of them, and the rest are good as well. Glad i got it. Also picked up Joy Division 77 to 80 for four quid at Tesco a week or two back, ...

Hi to both Tony and Jacinblack.

OG - you're taking big brother to serious, buying Maggots cd's and stuff

8 members ? - unemployment rate is high in these parts, so fuck it, join a band (if thats what they are!).

I'm of the same opinion. Its not going to be held in the green, green grass of home, so lets just find a suitable place for the majority and do it. I dont mind where, 'cos if you want it you'll do it anyway. Dont care where, or where i stay, or where i have to shit - just that the place sells Strong...

I saw the Manics in Cardiff (Cardiff for gawdsake not out in the sticks!) in 96 and I remember it took us 4 days and 8 sherpas to get there!

I wondered what happened to my lift to work that week !

It can be ! took my kid to Eurodisney couple of months back by bus - fucking nightmare. Broke down on the way in the middle of nowhere, about 45 minutes from the place, which caused a 3 odd hour delay. then had a 12 haul on the way back - never been so glad to see the Severn Bridge - would have paid...

There is a club in Crewe called the 'Limelight Club' , Faith may have played there and 3 men & Black also, anyway they generally only do Tribute bands so this maybe the ideal venue, Crewe is the main Hub of our fantastic rail system as trains go through here from everywhere, london to scotland ...

Had this from work about a month ago, but never got round to trying it. Thing is, it said 75 bands on mine - did someone object to being included ?

I've only 'joined up' recently, but have been reading the site for several months, and really enjoy it. Happy new year to all of you.

I'm getting into this a bit late, but only just joined up, sorry. I travelled from south Wales to see the Yeovil gig, and was there by 12.20. By the time they came on I was a bit pissed, as i'd giving the Strongbow a hammering all afternoon. When i saw the state of Paul i thought i'd been on chasers...

I'm not sure of the answer to this really. I had all their cassettes in about the mid 80's, and saw them at Cardiff University in about 1986? when i was on a YTS, when i was about 17. Had upto the '10' album, then got married and shit, and not really sure what happened again till about 2 or 3 years ...

Been to see the Stranglers 4 times this year, and must say Walk On By is superb live, and have to go with that. When JJ and Baz do their bit, its just a pleasure to be there
