Burning Up Time - The Stranglers and Hugh Cornwell Unofficial Forums

Looking at all the comments on how great the current line up is and how it was in some people's opinions being equal or better than the original line up. How convenient of a day and i shall wish everyone a happy April fools day :lol: Don’t think anyone has commented the current line-up is better th...

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...

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 not...

I'm sure they could play Too Precious and it would still sound pretty good but I know what you mean. Yes musically they could play and very well too any backlog song I think from this bands history that for me is never in any doubt no matter what people think of the current line up musically all fo...

Too Precious is one of my favourites but it is too Hugh and the vocal wouldn't suit Baz. You are right Too Precious wouldn't suit Baz's vocals so it's best left alone....Hugh owned. I didn't think much of RAH's Hanging Aound on the vocal front but again it's near impossible on Hugh's songs but we k...

I thought they put on a great show in RAH. Pleased for them that it went so well. A great experience to be there for a memorable gig. Well worth the effort. Cost a mint to go to the five I attended on the tour. Sure, why not? Anyhow, saying that, I don't want to hear Peaches, Relentless, GB, Lost C...

I was at the RAH and regardless of certain posts on here where people are having their say on the current line up this was a very special gig in a very special venue. Best song of the night by a country mile was Sewer. So good to meet up with mates and people who I haven't seen for many years befor...

If Jet and Dave were looking down, then I can't imagine them feeling anything other than pride at this 50th celebration and at what Jim and Toby have done with their great music. It couldn't have been done any better. Congratulations to the band and crew, and everyone else involved, including us lo...

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 J...

This tours blue flashing lights into JLNOE & the Ruby's 40th opening with the four of them coming down in boxes into toiler must stand out as this bands best two visual opening intos ...not the best gigs overall toy would have to go back to Hugh and the originals but visual openings. Yes I was ...

So the drums were just sticking to some kind of 50 year tradition maybe . Oh yes, I remember all sorts of weird and wonderful things over the years but 3 blokes drumming for a minute seems somewhat ineffectual. Now, if they had returned in some rat costumes for Sewer or wing flapping through Raven ...
