Burning Up Time - The Stranglers and Hugh Cornwell Unofficial Forums

I thought the comments on Paul were fairly well balanced but I thought the phrase "he wasn't a Strangler" wasn't needed - he literally was for over 15 years... poor old John Ellis though! I would think he meant he was nothing like an "Original" Strangler he's "stage "a...

Just finished this. Thought it was really good overall, some very interesting insights into the band and also just about the world in general. A nice companion piece to Hugh's one, although I think I preferred JJ's. I agree with whoever it was above that said there were things that could have been f...

Pre-orders for our debut album are now go: https://chainlinkuk.bandcamp.com/album/semi-autocratic Pink LP edition is available... It's better than the EP... I wrote the music to 3 or 4 of them so they have a bit of a Stranglers bass edge to them. One of those is the next single, "The Moderator...

I hardly think the size of venues Hugh has been playing recently could be compared to a toilet! Anyway, you're missing the point even if that's the case as JJ prefixed his statement with "Hugh must be bitter....." Jim "Toilet" is a well-known euphemism for "small music venu...

"Toilet" is a well-known euphemism for "small music venue", it has been in use for literally decades.
I don't think JJ was being ironic - Hugh plays much smaller venues as a headline act than the Stranglers do.
This is just objective fact.

Its rather Odd that Hugh is relegated to the size of Paul and John,I guess that sums up JJs opinion of Hugh at the moment.Major Kudu. Paul and Hugh were both in the band for the same sort of length of time, and neither have been in the band for a very long time now. I know it's jarring to have them...

Remember the drum track on Feline is Jet playing a Simmons kit and not a drum machine. He is actually playing those parts in the studio.
Took a long while for me to warm up to but I wouldn't have it any other way now, it's very distinctive and striking.

Have we mentioned the Kinks yet? Hugh was certainly taking some cues from them around the 10 era.

1. Ash (1992-1996, 2007-present lineup) 2. Bis 3. Christian Death (the various Valor, Maitri plus drummer lineups over the last 20-odd years) 4. Cocteau Twins 5. Thompson Twins (1983-86 lineup) 6. Manic Street Preachers (post-Richey) 7. Depeche Mode (Dave, Martin, Fletch lineup) 8. Muse 9. Potty Mou...
