Burning Up Time - The Stranglers and Hugh Cornwell Unofficial Forums

Have a good one King Rodders!

Brilliant pix! Sorry I missed the pre-drinks but I was a bit late (as Mike will know this is not unusual). Great gig though (my review is on the 'other' Bristol thread) and a great audience reaction. Bought my partner Lin for the first time and she really enjoyed it. I have schooled her a bit on all...

Have a good one mate and just think your best days are ahead of you - the mighty Jet didn't even join The Stranglers til he was in his 30s!!!!

Needs the words in front of it(this is for old people only!) ... 'Pompeii, salutay..."

....oh and they are incredible live too. Saw them twice and the way they performed two songs in particular - their own amazing This Is What's She's Like and their unforgettable cover of Respect - will stay with me forever.

Can't wait Jim - love em. There is just soooo much more to Dexys that dancing to Come on Eileen at your cousin's wedding. We had some lively debates on this site before about them (I recall there are many non-believers!) but I maintain that they are one of the great British bands of all time and the...

A brilliant effort Jim - and thanks for everything. This site has been the lifeblood for many of us for all things Strangled and now that Owen is also doing such a great job on the Official Site too we are truly spoiled. I doubt as fans we have ever been so well communicated with and we all owe you ...

Hi folks Hope you all have a fantastic Christmas and a Strangler-rich 2012. I am sorry I haven't been around much of late on this wonderful forum (and I had to miss the convention too.. :( ) but I still read a lot and still love the passion and excitement I find here for the true 'Giants' of the ama...

This thread inspired me to think more about that man Mr Savile - so much so that I wrote my newspaper column about it. And I even nicked Iain's joke too. I know we all thought Jimmy was a bit, ahem, odd (and yes we have all heard the rumours) but that 'oddity' helped raise £40m for charity so perhap...

happy (ex) birthday mate!

I know not a lot of other people here liked the concept of Glasto which I praised last year - and not just because The Stranglers were on! - but I am already looking forward to going again this time for the third year running and the line-up has further whetted my appetite. Weirdest thing I think is...

Ok I know I am a total wuss about this but as I drive to and from most gigs (not staying over most nights) AND I am the world's worst driver* even without alcohol I stay well away from it when gigging usually. And as for 'well you can have the one or two' I reckon I have more than that just breathin...
