I remember there was a Citroen DS outside the industrial unit, which I presumed at the time was JJs, but now I think it might be more likely to have been Hugh's if it was anyone's. There's a white Range Rover, which might have been the one that Hugh said JJ borrowed from him when he lost his license and wouldn't give back. There's what looks like a Renault Espace and the front of a Ford Sierra - neither much of anything special on the face of it. There is a red Fiesta behind a couple of other cars, and I recall some mention in "No Mercy" that Jet had a Fiesta at one point.

Re: And If You Should See Dave.....
I quite like the video. Its quite stylish but I can imagine it being it much more poignant if it featured JJ singing and band playing with images of Dave. Maybe that would have been a difficult watch though.

Don't feel like you're being naughty schoolboys going off thread BTW. As mentioned, we expect to go off thread (that's not the problem) the issue is when people were twisting threads round to turn into slagging matches (which thankfully seems to have stopped, so I guess that's all it took).

Re: And If You Should See Dave.....
Not as difficult as watching a man with a shoulder bag "wow, Dave had a bag!" or "look a keyboard!" (which looked like a low end digital piano from Walmart - hardly a nod to Dave and his Oberheims...)
They could've easily layered over live footage like in the No Mercy video - could've done that with royalty free video of a girl cruising in a car and saved a few bob
At the end of the day, it's difficult with budget restraints - look no further than Hugh with Bad Vibrations and I Want One Of Those...

Re: And If You Should See Dave.....
I wonder if somethings gonna kill me will be the next released single to go with the album release in September ?
If so i wonder what type of video to that song they would do too.....we shall see.I do think that maybe they just wanted first before anything else after Dave to release his tribute song before what would otherwise be released with the album and tour with the band moving on, so i think in just my one mans opinion that so far they have actually got everything just right tactfully and fitting to the Hammond Hero moving forwards.

Hopefully their creative people will follow in the trend of lyric videos that have been the standard for a few years now - not expensive to produce and can be highly effective.toilerinblack wrote: ↑13 Jun 2021, 12:38 I wonder if somethings gonna kill me will be the next released single to go with the album release in September ?

I'm dying to hear If...in it's entirety.
Re: And If You Should See Dave.....
Yes it would make an interesting single but maybe it a bit long. This song will get me over you could potentially be a single too. Shame they didn't write it though.8088 wrote: ↑13 Jun 2021, 12:51Hopefully their creative people will follow in the trend of lyric videos that have been the standard for a few years now - not expensive to produce and can be highly effective.toilerinblack wrote: ↑13 Jun 2021, 12:38 I wonder if somethings gonna kill me will be the next released single to go with the album release in September ?

Re: And If You Should See Dave.....
Personally I think the video is very fitting and I wouldn't change anything about it, I still find it very moving and poignant.Lt Kudu.
Re: And If You Should See Dave.....
The video is perfect Stranglers.
It misses the mark somewhat for some people but others love it.
That's always been the case and that's why I'm a fan, expect the unexpected.

Re: And If You Should See Dave.....
Nearly 91.000 views of the video on Youtube is not bad.
https://youtu.be/76V2hTa78Zs
We shall see 100k soon. Wonder how many non Stranglers connaisseurs are among the viewers? Not much probably.

Re: And If You Should See Dave.....
I'm sure there will be some fan made videos of this song too soon. The other video on there with the image of the band has loads of views as well.
