Re: new Baz interview

Why the hell no one recognise what a hell of song writer and musician Hugh Cornwell is? Are his solo albums really so great that the whole world is just too stupid to recognise their quality? What's going wrong with mankind, with the music business, with Joe Public.... One answer is that his music i...

Re: Dark Matters has it stood the test of time?

NC is a good album, but the vocals of Paul just isn't The Stranglers for me. It's the same with Baz singing. DM is also good but nowhere outstanding. For a possible new Stranglers album I would prefer a completely JJ written one, recorded with his band mates and with additional inputs from some othe...

Re: new Baz interview

Other than the comments about Jet, it’s the usual dull and uninspiring stuff. Lots of talk without really saying anything or anything new…. … Toby’s great and a bit of a nerd, last tour was great and crowds were great, DM was a great album and his best as a Strangler (really?) we’re going to be bus...

Re: WHAT THE FCUK ARE YOU LOT LISTENIN TO - When it's not the fucking Stranglers??!

A bit of summer music from Paul Simonon: https://youtu.be/IDDZgEHaczA I thought that was pretty good. Is that the sort of music Paul is up to these days ? i was a bit surprised as well he suited that style Yes, quite good album, produced by Tony Visconti. Damon Albarn plays melodica on two or three...

Re: New album confirmed (edit: or is it?)

I think everyone absolutely wants a new album but I don't think anyone wants another mediocre album with "The Stranglers" name plastered on it. DM had it's moments but it feels rushed and there's a few throwaway songs on there and others seem to be Frankenstein's monster in the way they a...

Re: New Interview 2023 - LeftLion

Don't take these interviews and those short statements too seriously. I would be surprised if JJ and friends (Stranglers?) record new songs this autumn, but who knows. And, how will Toby's keyboard lines sound?

Re: 50th Anniversary Setlist?

Hope they play two or three new tracks on their 50s tour.
Shouldn't be a problem out of 400 ideas which JJ has in his bag.
