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. Lt Kudu.

No it's got to be Xcert that represents mark 1 (especially for old fogies like myself). No brass, hooray.

Nah. If you wanna hear The Stranglers without brass there's bootlegs out there that are far better than X Cert!

Nothing wrong with Live at the Hope & Anchor either

Doesn't the 'All Live' Extra Track CD version contain a song with a 'backing track' ?

I really don’t like that guitar he uses, what’s that all about?

I’ve no idea what make it is, but it looks and sounds shocking..

Just why

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.
