Burning Up Time - The Stranglers and Hugh Cornwell Unofficial Forums

There was that live album "death and night and live" taken from the AS tour wasn't it? Skin Deep is on there and they're clearly using the radio mics cos Hugh says something just before Skin Deep kicks in

There are more entries in the years you mentioned. 1981 (94) 1980 (58) 1979 (71) 1978 (82) 1977 (140) 1976 (85) 1975 (14) 1974 (1) Jim Think these stats are only based on what people have added to Setlist.fm, so lots of older gigs aren’t in there. If they’d just bin that top 10 for a bit I’d be much...

Always The Sun getting a lot of plays there considering Heroes has almost a decade on it

One of the things I love about Jet is that he does just enough, absolutely solid but gives space for the other instruments. His style is all his. What I mean by that is if you hear that clip of Tank you can tell it's Jet playing , play Toiler from another gig with Jet and you can tell it's him. I do...

I'm no bass player but I've heard that JJ's stuff is fairly easy to play, it's the finesse, delivery and showmanship that he's good at. Similar to replacing Hugh in a way - easy to copy but not so easy to come up with the inventive creativity.

Yeah it's been on my list as another "weekend project" for a while folks. Will put a message up when I've sorted it. I think the gallery existed before flickr and Facebook :lol: - It was the only way of sharing "gallery" images at the time. Some little gems in there so it would b...

It's still a valid option. I'm betting there's probably people voting Yes who haven't see the Stranglers for a while as well.

Any more votes?

Possibly the most off topic post ever! :lol: Jim Sir so true about Hugh and Stranglers in the day,they weren't faking,they sometimes were genuinely angry with the audience being arseholes and sadly the band always did and do attract their fair share of arseholes,Hugh like you said still gets pissed ...

I've an idea I saw the Reading 1983 contract on the FB memorabilia group, and it was for £7.5k, so you can extrapolate from there. A couple of years ago Roland Gift got circa 50k for one of the festivals. JJ mentioned 6 figures for that US festival they're about to do Jim Sent from my Pixel 6 using...

I doubt JJ does it purely for the "art" I imagine he takes a fair wedge (which will top up his pension). Get real peeps

Thankfully Hugh seems to have stopped moaning at the audience for talking or taking pictures when he is playing - that WAS annoying. For a while he came across as a right git who had no respect for the few people who turned up to watch him. Also, the phase he went through of "if you want to he...
