Burning Up Time - The Stranglers and Hugh Cornwell Unofficial Forums

I expect Toby will be under a lot of pressure taking lead vocals on a new set addition knowing it'll be on youtube and scrutinised within 20 minutes. Especially under the circumstances. It's early days. I'm not sure if Genetix is a good idea or not yet but the band haven't played safe with much this...

Just seen Genetix from tonight's show now too.

Small point but the same lyric change happened "Messing around at playing God, easy way to play Genetix" has become 'That's the way at playing God, easy when you play Genetix' or similar.

I wasn't far off with what I thought would be a cool idea. We were thinking along the same lines. Not gonna say anymore for those who don't wish to be spoiled.

I think the set list is very very good. Exactly what they should have done for the 50th. The revisiting of their most 'out there' album MiB was essential - especially on the stage entrance. (Being a bit of a synth nerd the sound here could have been better.) They've also been bold in the presentatio...

Me too really. But then I can also imagine one could be done as a nod/dedication to Dave and introduced as such.

That will not 'light the internet up' to quote Baz. No, it's gonna be from the dusty vaults.

Even if the impossible happens and Hugh returns - either in a one off capacity or something more permanent, not sure I’d want to see or hear it. It’d be pretty obvious why they’re doing it There’d be plenty who wouldn’t be able to contain themselves, but it would be sad to see IMHO I prefer to reme...

I never got them. Maybe you had to be there in 1975/76.

Are they professionally filming/recording any of these shows? Those gigs seem important enough to warrant preservation. I Guarantee that the Albert Hall gig will be filmed,if not I will eat my Hat 🤠 The Damned was put off filming their special Albert Hall gig a few years back as the venue wanted to...

Not sure when the mic stands got moved but simple logistics on the 10 tour would be the addition of John Ellis.

I had a flick through 10 yesterday. There's not much life in it apart from a couple. Funnily enough one of the perkier ones is Let's Celebrate.

even when the band had 3 originals left they still brought out some crap albums to their name That's a very good point. Having the original members was only great when they were 'on it'. Let's face it, it all went downhill after Rattus really didn't it! :smile: Shallow decline began after La Folie/...
