did someone say wanker?StanInBlack wrote: ↑01 Dec 2021, 12:39 The Stranglers in 2021: one original member, a former Toy Doll, a former Mungo Jerry, a session musician, backing tracks and dad dancing.
I think I'll throw All Live and All of the Night on today and remind myself what the actual Stranglers sounded like.

If someone didn't say Wanker at a Stranglers gig it would be worrying.

No it's got to be Xcert that represents mark 1 (especially for old fogies like myself). No brass, hooray.StanInBlack wrote: ↑01 Dec 2021, 12:39 The Stranglers in 2021: one original member, a former Toy Doll, a former Mungo Jerry, a session musician, backing tracks and dad dancing.

Doesn't the 'All Live' Extra Track CD version contain a song with a 'backing track' ?StanInBlack wrote: ↑01 Dec 2021, 12:39 The Stranglers in 2021: one original member, a former Toy Doll, a former Mungo Jerry, a session musician, backing tracks and dad dancing.

Re: Dijon
Perhaps the reason for that is that it's NOT a standard guitar. It's a baritone guitar, specifically a Burns Barracuda model. You'll notice the fretboard is far longer. Baritone guitars are an octave lower than standard guitars, although unlike 6 string basses they're tuned to the same tuning as a standard guitar. Baz clearly uses it to get those low notes at the beginning of the song, enabling JJ to fart around on the bass in the intro.
