Burning Up Time - The Stranglers and Hugh Cornwell Unofficial Forums

Oh yeah and I'm one of the few people who actually likes Cut The Crap. Did you see the guy on YouTube who took out all the bleeps and noise? Crazy. There's a couple of decent songs on Cut the Crap, but if I remember the last time I tried to listen to it the drum machine on "Dictator" had ...

Yeah, you're not wrong there - particularly Jim and Baz gurning in tandem. Utterly ridiculous stuff.

Oh god, this is ridiculously easy for me - The Stranglers would get ALL of the points. I actually don't mind The Clash and find plenty to enjoy in their discography, but I'd be lying to myself and everyone else if I said that I liked them more than The Stranglers, or The Jam, or The Damned, or even ...

haha they should sell "Proper Stranglers" outifts as tour merchandise. Dark shades, leather jacket, black jeans (turn ups of course!). "Do you wanna be in the Stranglers? Yeah? Well now you can buy the 'proper stranglers' outfit" :lol: Hehehehe the "proper Stranglers starte...

https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/9/9b/Black_Country_New_Road-_For_the_First_Time_%28Album_Cover%29.jpg The missus keeps banging on about these. I just don't get it I like this album a hell of a lot more than their newest one where they seemed to have said to themselves "let's try and ...

Numan I've been reading some very enthusiastic reports of his recent American shows so he's clearly been relishing getting back into performing. I'm more of a fan of Beggars-era Numan than his recent period, but I do think Sacrifice, Pure and Splinter are good records. Intruder didn't really do an ...

Except that I didn't say this AT ALL.

and this isn't what I'm talking about.

(I'm not even going to bother with the rest of it.)

I will say one thing, Jim is well and truly been Stranglerfied, he looked so fresh faced when he started with band but now looks like a younger Jet looking mean and moody while playing. Lt Kudu. :smt005 He looks the same as he's ever done and nothing at all like Jet. I've noticed Toby has lost the ...

Well it didn't happen with Paul with NC and all its publicity it certainly was never gonna happen with him at any point i think With respect, what planet are you on? Norfolk Coast (the debut album by MKIII) was the most well received album released under the Stranglers' name since Hugh left the ban...

They consistently only ever play 7, maybe 8 post hugh tracks at a gig, out of 24 or so. It must be written into their contact. Or they aren't confident that they'd sell tickets with baz era material. I reckon if PR hadn't left the band and Suite XVI had been released with him on vocals, that would ...

There's shedloads on backing track on this one. Most of what you say Toby does is also on there. Deffo that distorted bass - which starts with a solo'd filtered version that is on backing - and I'd say the opera as well plus all the sound effects and risers in the right places. We can see what JJ, ...
