Burning Up Time - The Stranglers and Hugh Cornwell Unofficial Forums

Oh right, cut Baz off mid sentence.Forgot.Not sure if he was intentionally rude or just trying to cram in as much as possible in the short time.May as well have invited two instead of three, for seven minutes.

I don't recall this.What happened ?

"My band The Disciples of Spess recorded This Song originally. It's full title is This Song Will Get Me Over You. I'm a long term Stranglers fan and a few years ago I emailed Sil the Stranglers manager and asked if they hired out their studio near Bath. After a few jokey emails we booked it and...

I'd like to know the story of this song came about to be covered by the band. Maybe Matthew can explain?!!!

I think he did mention it on here.Something about his band using the same recording studio as the Stranglers in the west country and Louis Nicastro was impressed with the song.

Well if they decide the person isn't suitable then that puts them back to square one with tour dates looming.Its too late for all that.Whoever it is has got the job, no trial period

Yes he must, didnt the Stranglers add another verse? A class song, and totally deserves to be on album, I haven't been so excited about a Stranglers album since the Hugh days, their is buzz about this album. Yes,there does seem to be a buzz about it.Looking forward to it, more so than Giants which ...

Mathew must be thrilled.Who wouldn't be ? Having your song on a Stranglers album.

Lyrically nice in parts but questionable in others.

Yes, I thought that too.

It just had to be JJ for this one, it couldn't be anyone else.Hope he sings more on the album too.

It's tough to think that an album Dave was working on and contributing to should end up with a track on it in memory to himself.

Sounds more of a Stranglers song with JJ singing as opposed to Baz.I quite like it.

Why is it ? It's not going to happen of course but it's still a nice idea/thought.Even a reconciliation between JJ and Hugh and a few drinks together would be nice but even that seems out of the question, sadly.As Arthur says,life's too short.
