Re: 50th Anniversary Setlist?
Just watched some footage of the gigs with Baz and whilst singing Golden Brown on cue goes to the front of the stage mid song and holds his hands out like the messiah of stranglers song writing egging the crowd on to adore him and cheer. I wasn't going to say anything but i have never been a fan of...

Re: 50th Anniversary Setlist?
No problem playing Genetix or any other song IMO. They play it very well, and of course it doesn't sound like Dave but it's not disrespectful to Dave in any way, if anything it's the opposite to that. So I don't see the issue. Even if you're at the gig and don't like it, well there's another 25+ son...

Re: 50th Anniversary Setlist?
Toby doing genetix? Someone said "a fitting tribute" yes the whole thing is. I mean no one thinks any different surely. A 50th anniversary of songs where the bulk of the setlist are Cornwell era songs performed as close to Hugh's original performance as they can be. Toby doing a great job...

Re: 50th Anniversary Setlist?
When I first saw the band without Dave, the very first time I saw someone else climb up to the keyboard rig it brought tears to my eyes. I couldn't enjoy the music at all. After about half an hour I started to get into it a little bit..but overall that gig wasn't a good experience for me.. But then ...

Re: 50th Anniversary Setlist?
There's some big hitters in that first set, that's for sure.
Not surprised they're mostly from MK1 Stranglers as they're just the best ones..

Re: Dark Matters Vinyl
not something I'd be interested in as I don't collect anymore, but £28 seems pretty good for a nice item like this tbf..

Royal Concert Hall, Nottingham?
Is anybody familiar with this venue?
Was thinking of going but it seems to be all seated, with only a couple of seats now left behind the mixing desk, which is like meh...
Is it really like that or does everyone stand up etc once it gets going?
Cheers

Re: 50th Anniversary Setlist?
Apparently they are playing the more obscure set first.
If so then hopefully they'll start it with Hallow, which would be a fantastic opener imo.

Re: Strangler in the light
I really believe that JJ thinks fans will love him slagging off previous band members in a real "yeah fuck em!" kinda mentality. Goes with the "rock n roll" myth. When really it's backfired with the majority of fans going "really? that vicious?". Just a shame the autho...

Re: Strangler in the light
JJ has admitted he's a bit resentful, it's just a part of his character. I agree Hugh wouldn't write like that in any book, he's a bit more diplomatic lol ! JJ can be very diplomatic too, but sometimes it seems he's like "fuck it" I'm just gonna say what I'm thinking. I'm not sure about &q...

Re: Strangler in the light
He knows it, a lot of the fans know it, but some won't accept it and think everyone else is to blame Jim JJ, by his own admission, is a bit of a resentful person. well, I agree with JJ's angle, to a certain extent. I'm not saying he's right about everything btw.. So if we're gonna try and understan...

Re: Strangler in the light
JJ, by his own admission, is a bit of a resentful person. He still has this thing where he thinks he's been betrayed by people, like Hugh and Ellis. He believes that he, and/ or The Stranglers as a whole, have never really had the recognition they deserve. Some will agree with him, others won't. He'...
