Burning Up Time - The Stranglers and Hugh Cornwell Unofficial Forums

It's a good point.JJ is a fair few years older than most of us.As 17 year olds when he was in his 30s we would be in awe of his tales of bravado and derring do.I don't think he ever lost a fight.

Again,who cares ? At least he isn't some kind of robot in black.

Sounds like a long night to me.And people need to get trains and buses home,not everyone drives.

Hugh makes a particular balls of it at that Athens festival which is on you tube.It's never bothered me at all.
Baz does need to get over it.Making a big thing and rolling his sleeves up just to play a bit of guitar.

Jet welcomes Baz to the band, circa 2000.

Many use social media now as priority before adding the same thing to their website later.I think more and more people are seeing Facebook and Twitter now and bands/ football clubs etc recognise this.They must be reaching a wider audience.

'Instant collector's items'.Nail on the head.A proper collector's item is something not many people bought in the first place and kept hold of for years which suddenly becomes of interest or in demand.Not : "We are going to order a batch of brand new collector's items,would you like to buy one&...

Turn the centuries would make for a great stage entry for the first set,like Waltzinblack.Now the tour is getting nearer I'm beginning to feel envious of those going.Enjoy and bollocks to the miserable gets who refuse to attend.Myself included.

I’ve read a few times now, mainly from Baz, that it takes them a couple of gigs to get into the full flow and iron out any live glitches. Yeah and it just pisses off those paying good money to attend one of the opening shows.It would me anyway.You are right,they should do a rehersal gig or two inst...

Just surmising, could the current setup these days be bordering on being more akin to the Man with a Stick act from Vic Reeves Big Night Out?

It's Trigger's broom,unfortunately.It saddens me to see the band in its current guise.To be honest it had run its course long before this stage.

You wouldn't know what believe ,from either of them.There's JJ version,Hugh's version and somewhere in between is the truth.

What a stupid question.Has he ever been to see the Stranglers perform.As if.
