Burning Up Time - The Stranglers and Hugh Cornwell Unofficial Forums

Now that's got me thinking,not trying to denigrate the tour as i was the one who started the thread then went off thread 😔 but just thinking about Jiggery pokery,there does seem to be more use of extra backing on a few songs ie Stallion,and Breathe had a loop,Baz started the song on Acoustic Guitar,...

Possibly the most off topic post ever! :lol: Jim Yes your right if things were right up on stage he'd let it be known....lol and why not when your trying your best up on stage with certain things arise that can be distracting to your performance or putting you off or just plain annoying like the li...

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 off if things aren't right,that's part of his ch...

JJ is the soul of the Stranglers now,the original link to the original band,I just hope the band finish when he decides to retire,Baz will always be able to earn a living because he was a Strangler and same with Jim and Toby,but let's just enjoy the band as they are now,or if you don't want to that...

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...

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...

Ok it's all gone off thread a bit,was supposed to be a positive tour Epitaph,but let's have my day,Paul a great singer,but was never right for the band, when they became a 4 Piece again it was more like the original set up and just worked better for band and fans,JE a fantastic guitarist but again n...

Yes the Drifters could that be the fate of the Strangler? I really hope not? But if you look at the Buzzcocks with just Steve Diggle as original,they have been selling out all over the place including the State's,so will the Buzzcocks carry on if Steve leaves? I doubt it,with the Stranglers all the ...

I think fans underestimate how much baz's vocals and stage presence contribute to the live sound of the stranglers now. The pendulum swing from hugh to paul, and then to baz has made some think that baz is nearer to hugh than he is. I'd argue that replacing baz with hugh as he is now, or anyone rea...
