Stranglers mark 4

Quand je pense que j'ai fini au bar avec eux ... soirée de folie.

For Hugh, and a right decision, although he could do both, the leave allowed him to express himself outside the confines of a long term group situation.

So good. Thanks for posting.

Although I think the stranglers were great at one time, neither Cornwell nor the Stranglers, which is now little more than a tribute band, are producing any music of note nowadays. Although many people do it, I can't see the attraction in seeing a band performing their hits from 50 years ago.

JJ. A heroin addict Backs Israel. In a band with only one original living member. His worth as an individual and the value of his opinion has dwindled to nought. Hes just an egotist living off hits 40 years ago.

thanks for the great video!

Fab then..fab now

Came for the band name , stayed for the women that obviously have The B52's in their record collection.

Woman playing Rock and having fun. More Power to you ladies :)

Horrible

:0

They're just cool, wonderful! Love 'em! 😉

I Hope they didn't quit their day jobs!

Oh dear..., just piss off with ya women have attitude image..., been done to death.

Ummmmmmm........

Good lord🤢🤮

Should really call themselves ‘The Strangler’ now

Great set

Hugh was the epitome of cool.

Highlight of the weekend 🎸😎 love Charlie Harper 🎸🎶❤️

i think Hugh Cornwell mistakenly thought he was going to be the next Paul Weller and it didnt really work out that way despite having a sizeable body of work - His whole solo career, has been built on proceeds from his Stranglers days - Stranglers are still playing sizeable events, Hugh much smaller venues/festivals but credit to him for keeping on going

How many front men leave a band and those remaining don't spend the rest of their career sucking lemons? Any band. Any decade. Any genre.

😍🔥

Awesome great😮😮😮

Fantastic!

Many are like that. Often you think otherwise. But actually, all grow old, crumble and fade away - mainly in search of sensible items such as curry and nice snuggly dogs, perhaps?

Acoustic or electric, there is no beterrrrrrrr!!!! RUTSSSSSSSSSSS!!!!!

The greatest band EVERRRRRRRR!!!! thank you Ruth!!!!

GREAT SHOT RUTH!!!!! THANK YOU!!!

Aye, 'tis good to see Richard and the lads having a good time. They even did a decent job of 'Complete Control'.

Thank you for uploading.

Brilliant version, Leigh is phenomenal. Thanks Ruth.

The band were never the same after Him. A spark had gone out and the band never rekindled it.

Love JJ and all the guys sadly the truth is the Stranglers are no more without the original four monsters.

JJ is a presumptuous knob really. In reality he's living off the band name

I loved the early Stranglers, but their last two albums with Hugh (Dreamtime, and Ten) were awful. They'd clearly run out of ideas and enthusiasm - and their last two singles were note-for-note cover versions which added nothing to the originals. Just watch their final gig with Hugh, at the Alexandra Palace - with that awful jazzy brass section - and Hugh was visibly bored and going through the motions; he looked half asleep for most of the gig. It was embarrassing. It was clear that this version of the band had reached the end of the road - they were barely a faint shadow of their former selves.

It was this guy, it was that guy. I'm not sure that it really matters all that much. The Stranglers went through at least 3 phases while Cornwell was still in the band. They had to keep moving, and the glory days were behind them regardless. Having Burnel and Cornwell be the best of friends and The Stranglers keep generating that same quality (rock) forever would be great, but that's just not how reality works. For anyone.

The album is great some of the lyrics are a bit left wing and anti Brexit but still a good album

Just saw them last weekend!!! Fantastic two shows, their last of this US tour! Hung out with them after as well! They did not do this one, or Motorcycle Man, which I kept yelling out for LOL....I do love Darkadelic but like Dave said, there are so many songs, how to do them all in a limited show time!! Love them always!

The man who slagged off Trump

Unlikely that the original line-up would stay together for 50 years, so we should be thankful this version of The Stranglers is still going and the last album was excellent. It was Hugh’s choice to leave, so the others were within their rights to continue under The Stranglers banner.

Hugh was the real Stranglers ....

Even though Im a guitarist... Always luvd JJ's playing...him and Foxton, absolute guns on the bass!

He’s an older man now chatting shit. JJ and Hugh WERE The Strangers and even though i have continued to follow both separately neither advanced another step musically and both continue to play mainly the so gs they wrote together. Says it all. Shame but question of egos being misshapen which is one reason The Stranglers existed in the first place. We should celebrate that…

Cool!

That's not the stranglers.

Hi Ruth, Thank you for sharing the video and mentioning Fugu! I'm one of the Fugu and lots appreciated you filmed us! Just wondering if we can keep the video and edit with other angles if possible???

Awful bass tone
