They did, but they had that chemistry together from the off.
This current Stranglers is still The Stranglers.

Each to their own now going forwards with this current line up.
Re: This current Stranglers is still The Stranglers.
Went to Manchester last night, place was packed to the rafters and have to say that they were absolutely awesome. Whilst this thread debates what is now and what once was Im happy that I was there last night just as I was in 78. Its in my blood.

Re: This current Stranglers is still The Stranglers.
Great to hear another happy fan's worth,this tour has had nothing but good reviews and reports...Great Stuff!
For those who are still happy to carry on seeing them still i think the future is still looking very long and bright for both band and their fans too we all hope.
Re: This current Stranglers is still The Stranglers.
That's good to hear Sir, I'm glad you enjoyed it. I saw footage of Heroes, Toby totally nailed possibly Dave's most iconic solo. Lt Kudu.
Re: This current Stranglers is still The Stranglers.
Yes I'm no expert but I have played in quite a few bands and have recorded in studio, but I'm know expert unlike the boy Jim that's Jim Mac. Lt Kudu.

While painting, I was just listening to Giants which led into the Acoustic set (on iTunes). This like the Acoustic in Brugge album is the kind of set list that I would like the current line up to aim at. A good mixture of mainly post Hugh songs.

Re: This current Stranglers is still The Stranglers.
Great idea i also love the Brugge Album which i agree too has a great acoustic set to it's name,i have over the years with this band certainly swayed more over to enjoying their acoustic sets.This band are brilliant at doing the acoustic stuff and at their very best doing this stuff i believe was with Paul for sure,that type of set really suited Paul's vocals who for me always really shined out doing the acoustic stuff,it showed to me just how good his vocals were and are away from the more harder electric MK1 tracks.alaninblack wrote: ↑13 Feb 2022, 01:36 While painting, I was just listening to Giants which led into the Acoustic set (on iTunes).

I think t would be nice at some point doing again an acoustic gig with some of Suites,Dm and Giants material all post '90 material with Toby that could sound very nice.

Good to see very positive reviews of the tour on the Facebook pages.
Re: This current Stranglers is still The Stranglers.
Yes, the negative comments tend to come from those who’ve not seen them
Then I got tired of counting all of these blessings, and then I just got tired.
