Burning Up Time - The Stranglers and Hugh Cornwell Unofficial Forums

Im sure if hugh was still in the band, we'd find something. Maybe he'd insist on a mariachi golden brown every single gig? Very good.....lol If he had stayed the band would of stayed on the right side of the track with commercial tradition with the singles with different great album tracks and a fe...

Paul has a great voice but his tone was wrong and some of his stage antics were truly embarrassing,Baz does have charisma and does a great job,he's also a very friendly bloke when you meet him,but Paul was better on 3 songs SLG,Sun and GB,the rest awful,compare the version of Sewer 97 to the one th...

] Yes he is proud of his half a century and why not Well my problem is Toiler, is that a Stranglers gig with only post 2000 material (when Baz's musical contribution started) isn't going to pull in even the most hardened of Stranglers fans, with or without a minibus and meat raffle. Yes your probab...

I don't really think Baz has done anything to be fair he's just more popular than Paul in my opinion. Exactly. PR got a hard time not only because he followed Hugh, but because he refused to be anything other than himself and put his own spin on things. In hindsight, this is something to be commend...

A badge does nothing other than to embellish or identify. JJBs bass sound and vocal are actually part of what drives the band and gives it its sound, its like the engine really, it actually does something. If it was somebody else filling in it would not sound the same, it would be the last link to ...

Baz seems incredibly proud of being in the Stranglers for 25years so I suspect he thinks he has the right to carry on under that name. Yes he is proud of his half a century and why not Quarter. Yes I mean he's proud of a half century for and being part of the band that have reached such a milestone...

I wouldn't go even if there was a Hamper from Fortnum and Masons.The reason I still go is because JJ is still in the band,but as I have said I think the other 3 all do a great job,but seriously as much as I like Baz, please do not let him carry on when JJ decides to pack it in,JJ doesn't need the m...

I actually like the album "In the night" i have said something similar earlier in this site somewhere before . I saw the band with Paul live before this album came out and it was far too different and i didn't like Pauls antics on stage or his interpretations of the older material. It rea...

Interesting - For me i don't consider anything post 1990 as the Stranglers the remaining originals seemed to have switched off post 90 Only if you're not listening properly. In The Night is a brilliant Stranglers album mired in crap production. I'd love someone to give it a beefed-up brand new mix ...

This is why the Greatest Hits style tours keep getting rolled out. Nostalgia sells even if there's just 1 original member. Personally, I hope JJ does that solo album - he could even do it in between Greatest Hit tours. Jim JJ could do better financially and creatively on his own as would any other ...

Was doe a 50th band celebration mean to me? It's a celebration of a band that has been going 50 years non stop which is what this band has done and reached and not it's members.... The founder member Jet said himself that the entity is to keep going until the last man's standing and you can't get be...
