Re: 50th anniversary

I can't see this being any more than a couple of dates somewhere (probably "that London") - another Greatest Hits set. Maybe some guest musicians. Archive stuff? Nah. As for the film? What's the point it's completely out of date now and irrelevant. Jim They could recreate the Stranglers a...

Re: Baz's side project - WINGMEN

I saw them last night, a very good show. Five incredibly talented musicians. I would recommend catching them if you can. The venue was maybe too ambitious for them (800 capacity, maybe 200 in attendance), but they still gave it their all, and seemed to be really enjoying themselves. Can't personally...

Re: Baz's side project - WINGMEN

I'm seeing them in London tomorrow. Still enjoying the album! Also seen the setlist, some interesting covers, not at all what you might expect... looks to be a good night! Can you post a Link to the Setlist please? It's posted on a facebook page following the band, so not sure if you can see this w...

Re: 50th anniversary

I think they'd be a bit cheeky to be honest,making a big fanfare of a 50 year anniversary.Toby himself is only just 50 and Jim even younger.Dave and Jet are no more.Nobody is getting ripped off,everyone who goes to see them knows who they are and what they are getting.Just a bit insulting to the me...

Re: 50th anniversary

Could they do RAH again do you think? Would they sell it out as a one off? Probably too late anyway but would be a nice event. Killing Joke have sold out the RAH, so it's possible. However..KJ are playing their first two albums with the original line up! If the Stranglers were to do something like ...

Re: Iggy Pop..Every Loser

The intro to the song "Comments" sounds like something off Hugh's new one. Jim That's my favourite track on the album...at the moment. I hadn't noticed that...but yes, I can hear what you mean. I just love that bass intro and chiming guitar chords! I also love the way Iggy's voice has age...
