Burning Up Time - The Stranglers and Hugh Cornwell Unofficial Forums

I will point out that a tribute Band in my world consists of musicians who weren't part of the original Band. Of course, this would mean "in your world" that The Gift (the Jam tribute act featuring Rick Buckler that eventually morphed into From the Jam, also a tribute act) weren't a tribu...

a tour being more than one consecutive gig, it being over a period of time.

What is a definition of a tour?

Sir I agree with all you say, nothing to add which is unlike me. Lt Kudu :smt005 Agreed I will point out that a tribute Band in my world consists of musicians who weren't part of the original Band. Well that's how i feel to but we all think differently and that's fair enough at the end of the day i...

It's just an endless debate, some will never accept Hugh leaving, others enjoy what he have now, I'm in the enjoy what we have now camp. I was really being sarcastic about it not being the real Stranglers after Hans Left, it's just all opinions. Lt Kudu. That's a true fact as you pointed out that a...

If you want to be a pedant about it, sure. The problem with that line of thinking is that nobody has ever considered Hans Warmling to be part of the "classic" line-up and/or anything more than a minor (but still notable for his input on "Strange Little Girl") figure in the pre-f...

True, but then Reading '83 (which I was also at, only my second MiB gig) wasn't the same kind of gig that festivals are now - as they were headlining Friday night they had a decent length of time to play, and there was plenty of non-hit stuff in the set if I recall correctly. So it was more like a ...

Never heard you talk about that before. Would make a whole night topic at one of the RI sesh's. I got the hump and turned my back on him when he left in 1990. I then managed to catch him at a free show in 96 or 97 at HMV and I thought he was pretty good. Good to hear those vocals live again. Since t...

Pretty good summary. Factual. Thanks for putting it together Bear Cage. Have to say in the main there is quite a bit of positivity across the posts that follow, which is unusual for here. When comparing this with the BUT FB site, it couldn't be more different. Just look at the life & vibrancy t...

For me Craig Charles on 6 music is the best at the mo. Imo of course. You're always guaranteed 2 stranglers songs in every show as he uses 2 as jingles Jim I'd even go further and suggest introducing CC before the MiBs gigs & before support would be good for the atmosphere on the night. Once up...
