Yep agreed... you've said it all i think.Greatkudu wrote: ↑28 May 2022, 11:52God forbid if Baz carried on with The Stranglers name,he would play to a tiny audience,I'm sure Baz will always be in demand when the Stranglers end because he had been in the band,he could produce and mentor etc.Its the final end stage of the band but it's a long goodbye.Lt Kudu.

Re: ...more Continental Dates for March 2023
I feel the band the Stranglers starts and ends with the only original left in JJ,Baz could easlily continue on getting gigs and work having been the former frontman/ guitarist with the stranglers for sure with smaller gigs IF that is he's not going to do something else with JJ away from the Stranglers which could be a strong alternative or thought i think but hey who knows,for me' i'm all for Baz and Jim who have now been long term members being in the still the stranglers band and not the friends band because they are members of this every continuation band with well having earn't that right i think,but i'm not in favour of any continuation wIthout JJ in it and still being called the Stranglers i don't believe for one minute Baz or anyone else would ever think of doing that but who knows i'm only one fan on the outside looking in,but i'd like to think they wouldn't do that.Greatkudu wrote: ↑28 May 2022, 11:52God forbid if Baz carried on with The Stranglers name,he would play to a tiny audience,I'm sure Baz will always be in demand when the Stranglers end because he had been in the band,he could produce and mentor etc.Its the final end stage of the band but it's a long goodbye.Lt Kudu.

Yes hopefully that would be the case, everything has a beginning,middle and end,nothing lasts forever,I'm seeing this all to painfully at the moment with my Dad at the end of his life cycle in Hospital, absolutely heartbreaking.The band are in their final stage.Lt kudu.

So you like tribute bands.

There's tribute bands that exist with 1 original band member

It's a bit Bucks Fizz-ish at the moment, if JJ stops it'll be more Sugababes-ish

It's peoples choice whether to see the Stranglers or not,as it is with Hugh,I like by both.Lt Kudu.theraven1979 wrote: ↑28 May 2022, 18:38So you like tribute bands.

Re: ...more Continental Dates for March 2023
Agreed,that's it in a nutshell really if you wanna still see them still then go and enjoy it,if not and you think they are a tribute band then don't,i like both still like you but the only difference for me is my days live now are only with Hugh..but still 100% behind the band in what they do and still love what they are producing together who have notched the quality of a gig up to top gear for sure in my opinion, it's just for me anyway i decided to stop going live after Dave but still think Toby is the right man they have brought in who is doing an incredible job.Greatkudu wrote: ↑28 May 2022, 21:04It's peoples choice whether to see the Stranglers or not,as it is with Hugh,I like by both.Lt Kudu.theraven1979 wrote: ↑28 May 2022, 18:38So you like tribute bands.

Yes I think even if people think they are a tribute band,no one can deny that Toby is doing an amazing job and fantastic musician as Baz and Jim are to.Music is helping me at the moment with my dad at end of life Stage but it just takes my mind off for a short time.Lt kudu.
Re: ...more Continental Dates for March 2023
I would do Leuven this year if I could,I saw them before their and it's a great venue,lots of good bars and food,but at present I'm at the hospital most of the day.But music helps for a short time,and if the band want to carry on for a few more years and give people enjoyment why not,so much going on in the Country and world,gigs are an escape for a bit,then you deal with all the shit that life can bring.Lt Kudu.

Yes but I can't really see another album to be honest,so it's catch them when you can,that's the Stranglers and not JJ and his hired hands .Lt KuduMart wrote: ↑30 May 2022, 11:51Long may they continue to tour and recordGreatkudu wrote: ↑28 May 2022, 22:24 Yes I think even if people think they are a tribute band,no one can deny that Toby is doing an amazing job and fantastic musician as Baz and Jim are to.Music is helping me at the moment with my dad at end of life Stage but it just takes my mind off for a short time.Lt kudu.
