Burning Up Time - The Stranglers and Hugh Cornwell Unofficial Forums

JJ is spot on when it comes to The Hollies and The Beach Boys a.o. Great taste our bassman has.

That "banter" was cringey for sure, but it was also over 15 years ago, so I don't think he would say it now...

Baz still says that often doesn't he?

new album release could be in mid 2025

very optimistic :)

The Baz one sounds like some guy in a tribute band talking about how great the original band were Which is pretty much the case 8) I'm very confused... ok so John says that he's very proud of Golden Brown but if I remember correctly he didn't even play bass on the original recording because he desp...

yes, the Dingwalls fight is mentioned

I seem to remember JJ did not like Tomorrow Was at all so it would be surprising to get that. I could be wrong though.

How many did dave write if any?

Not sure - I think he was more involved in the arranging and putting the icing on the cake so to say. Having said that, Dave did write the music to Golden Brown which remains their biggest success!

Intresting who wrote what and how many I wonder how many Hugh did write between 77-83 i'd guess definitely more than half,they both certainly wrote a lot each for sure and did work and feed off eachother so very well whoever orginally wrote the song or idea.....they especially in those more earlier...

ts difficult for him to forget because every setlist is a reminder. Well he has some classics of his own in the bands catalogue but yes, he has to realize more than half of the classics from 77-83 were Hugh's.... I do thlnk JJ would'nt mind as much as Baz tho, he seems like he dislikes Hugh the mos...

bit disappointing that JJ said in his recent French interview that no new Stranglers album is in the pipeline currently, especially after raising our hopes that they would spend the winter in the recording studio. It now looks like he is keener to get a French langauge solo album out instead This w...
