Burning Up Time - The Stranglers and Hugh Cornwell Unofficial Forums

At the end of the day it's just a form of entertainment, and as far as I've been able to tell everyone is having a great time at the gigs. If you start analysing then of course it's nothing like the Stranglers of old, but then nothing about the world itself is like it was back then. Personally I do...

I dont understand why everyone is so invested in pretending that its a band of four equals? I've been wondering this myself, and the only conclusion I can come to is because it's a way of rationalising to themselves JJ's decision to continue and their decision to go to the gigs. If people invest in...

Does anyone ever say that ACDC are not ACDC because Bon Scott isn't in them? Not just him but Cliff has retired,Malcolm Young passed away and Rudd was kicked out of the band leaving Angus as the only original.They'll still be packing out stadiums this summer though,with hundreds of thousands of del...

I didn't say they were as good as the original lineup,but from the Half gig I saw in Portsmouth they were fantastic and IMHO still worthy of being called the Stranglers,and I'm not delusional its just my opinion of what I heard and saw.Major Kudu.

As someone who really wasn't looking forward to this tour,I felt it was a step to far,and even though I was ill and only saw first set,the truth is I was blown away by how good they were,of course it's only JJ as original member obviously,but Baz has earned the right to be up there and Jim and Toby...

Does anyone ever say that ACDC are not ACDC because Bon Scott isn't in them?

The current line up have done themselves proud and played exceptionally well I can't fault them they gave great entertainment with a setlist that everybody enjoyed with songs asked for too. When I hear this tours Sewer at the RAH and done at the same venue with Paul and John for me is absolutely no...

I think from what I saw the RAH gig was something really special,a great achievement by band and crew.Major Kudu.

Yes I so wish I could have been there.Major Kudu.

I wouldn't go so far as to say best since the Hugh days (and I never saw MKI or II live so wouldn't say that anyway) but this has certainly been the best tour in years, with possibly the best setlist in decades. JJ was amazing as ever, great vocals and fantastic bass as usual. Baz, as I said in the...

Ok the tour is over,apart from the rearranged Bristol date, personally speaking I think the band have proved that they are still worthy of the Stranglers name with this tour, haven't played safe,have played songs that haven't been played since 1981,every gig seems to have been a blinder,of course JJ...
