Fuck me, I hope not!
Zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz.
Nah they ain’t too bad some of em, although some of the vocals are truly awful, no enthusiasm at all. Just sounds like they couldn’t be arsed.
I could knock out a straight cover version like most of these in an hour or so but why? (doesn’t include mixing) We’ve already got these songs by a band called The....Stranglers! Yeah remember them?
If I was to do summat I wouldn’t do a straight copy cos that would be so fucking boring, try summat different FFS.

Look here’s an example - Walk On By, The Stranglers really gave that a kick up the arse and came up with IMHO one of the best cover versions ever and it included a huge amount of creativity and originality too, all sadly lacking in most of these Stranglers cover versions.
All I’m saying is try looking it from that perspective.

I think they're all fantastic. Correct me if I'm wrong but as far as I'm aware none of the peeps involved are professional musicians. A lot of them are different to the originals and very inventive......Blimey you're never feckin happy are you Arthur? Life must really suck for you.

Well said Jim.

And Arthur- I'd suggest re reading the original posts, I've helpfully supplied a link,
then, mibee, shutting the fuck up, a bit.

an example-

Its An Idea.

I wouldn't presume for a second that anyone would regard this (if it ever fucken becomes a "this")
as a must-have addition to their prized collection.
...

It would just be some fans having a laugh, and celebrating their band.
Fuxake, I know it'll be no mispressed 4-D Raven for the M!B-who-has-to-have-everything
to salivate over.


and

It's quite a cool idea though, innit? I mean, even if we decide, for whatever reason, not to be arsed doing it,
it is a cool idea- A fans' Forum producing, between them, a covers album of their band's work.
...
It's a laff, innit?



Innit :smt102

You may also be amused to see early talk of your good self maybe doing a track or two for the Forums album,
but as I recall you failed to deliver much except talk.

I do apologise Jim, I obviously didn’t get the memo, I thought that as one gets older you are supposed to moan all the time! (and still do the odd wind up)
That’s what old folk do innit? and I guess I am quite old so....
:P
And btw nope life is very beautiful thanks. There’s a few forum members on here who I won’t mention (you know who they are) who moan constantly about EVERYTHING The Stranglers & Hugh no matter what they do or don’t do, I very rarely do that as I’m still in love with the band and Hugh. Life would certainly suck without them.

I'm not allowed - I don't understand how music works apparently...

That aside, I'm up for it if there are any other takers?

Did someone say Chorus?
This is my favourite Chorus, it’s all you need really. It’s an original 80’s model too -
