Re: Tour Epitaph
I dont understand why everyone is so invested in pretending that its a band of four equals? I've been wondering this myself, and the only conclusion I can come to is because it's a way of rationalising to themselves JJ's decision to continue and their decision to go to the gigs. If people invest in...

Re: Tour Epitaph
Anyhow, I take comfort in the fact that when the band is long over, it'll be 1977-1990 that'll be remembered, just like it is now. Nobody is going to remember any of this JJ Burnel & Friends bollocks or treat it with any reverence or relevance. It's already irrelevant to most in the present day...

Re: Tour Epitaph
It may very well have been a few evenings of Stranglers music competently performed by JJ Burnel and three other guys, but that doesn't make it The Stranglers. Calling it so requires a real stretch of the imagination and a colossal amount of mental gymnastics. Looking at pictures of the band now rem...

Re: Bristol
Now wait! I have a thought! Stranglers and friends. Bring on some fans or fellow artists to fill the rolls!!! Given that JJB&F fans don't seem to care who is in the band these days as long as the songs get sung, they should get either JJ or Toby to sing everything. Or even Jim. The crowd would ...

Re: 50th Anniversary Setlist?
The concept of the sleeve is pretty much a representation of the concept of the album. The Last Supper with the man in black, the meeting of the biblical with the extraterrestrial.

Re: 50th Anniversary Setlist?
He may have been the initial spark of inspiration due to the literature he was reading, but it was Hugh that moulded those disparate ideas of UFOs and bible stories into the concept. Unless you're suggesting Jet wrote the lyrics, which he didn't.
