Re: 50th Anniversary Setlist?

One is going on tour as Hugh Cornwell, the other is going on tour pretending to be The Stranglers. One is on tour as a guy who's played on 10 Stranglers albums and about 10 solo albums. One is on tour featuring a guy on all 18 Stranglers albums (plus 2.5 solo albums), plus a guy on 4 Stranglers alb...

Re: 50th Anniversary Setlist?

What it is, is two members of the original line up playing music from the original period alongside music composed after that. One has the legal, commercial rights and brand of that original material including the band name, the other uses his past involvement and the logo style of the original to ...

Re: 50th Anniversary Setlist?

PS Yeah, as I say, some stuff from Feline or In the Night would really great to hear.

Basically if the set is going to be 75% 77-79 stuff then I'm going to be disappointed. I could probably handle 50%, but 75% would be taking the piss. 80s, 90s and 00s stuff please.

Re: 50th Anniversary Setlist?

That "banter" was cringey for sure, but it was also over 15 years ago, so I don't think he would say it now... Baz still says that often doesn't he? I haven't heard him say it my uni days from what I remember, but then again I don't go to as many gigs as other people so I'm willing to be ...

Re: 50th Anniversary Setlist?

,do you want to sing with the Fookin Stranglers? The answer is know I don't thanks very much, That "banter" was cringey for sure, but it was also over 15 years ago, so I don't think he would say it now... Yes, take a leaf from Hugh's book and play obscure albums tracks from the recent alb...

Re: 50th Anniversary Setlist?

I reckon there'll be some old songs that everyone knows, some old songs that some people know, some newer songs that the "lapsed fans" like, some newer songs that have been fairly successful, and maybe one or two obscure ones we weren't really expecting. Reckon I've nailed that. I'll stick...

Re: Warrington News - Baz - interview

The trouble is, to do justice to the whole career it would have to be at least a 2CD set like Decades Apart but they'd have to take off some of the old classics to make way for the Giants/DM stuff, so what's the point?

Unless they put a new song on it I suppose.
