- Here is another of my archive interviews with celebrities to mark their birthdays. February 21st is the birthday of musician, producer and songwriter, Jean-Jacques Burnel best known as the bass guitarist and co-lead vocalist with The Stranglers.
Have a listen and find out how the band were formed, why JJ was court-martialled and what his favourite motorbikes are.
He's been a member of the Stranglers since the group's inception in 1974, but has also made two solo albums: Euroman Cometh in 1979, and Un Jour Parfait in 1988, as well as a collaborative album with fellow Stranglers member Dave Greenfield, Fire and Water (Ecoutez Vos Murs) in 1983. He also formed a rhythm and blues covers band, the Purple Helmets, who played a number of concerts and released two albums in the late 1980s.
In this excerpt he begins by telling me about how The Stranglers were formed.
Saw them in Brest 2 weeks ago. They are still as brilliant as when I saw them in my youth. So talented, so macho.

I'm a Stranglers Fan since Aural Sculpture came out in 1984.
One of the better Punk/Nee Wave Bands of the Late Seventies and of course The Following Years til Now.
Every Albums they've had released are very outstanding classics.
And this Year The Band will celebrates their 50 Years .

I first seen the stranglers I believe it was 1980 at the Birmingham odeon
And they were just awesome. I last seen them at the 02 in Birmingham in 2022 and many many times in
between and they were still awesome. I have had the privilege of meeting all the stranglers and they were total gentlemen ( sorry to spoil your image lads 😂 ) even hugh was very respectful. They are without doubt the best live band I've ever seen , and I hope they gone on for many more yet.

Been a fan of this band since I picked up Black and White on release, and then went out immediately and bought Rattus. I've seen pretty much every iteration of the band, from the original 4 to the last time I saw them about 8 years ago when it was just 2 originals left (Jet was still involved, but his health precluded him from touring, and they really don't turn up too often in Canada). At first I thought when Hugh left, it would be the end, and they kind of soldiered on, but then Baz showed up and he has been great with them. Their last album which Dave played on from a year or so back was killer.
If they come back to my side of the pond, will definitely be attending.
Check out my Hugh Cornwell interview on the channel too.
Well said, I was a fan since when I first heard Peaches on the radio, then the Something Better Change/Straighten Out single solidified it. I also got B&W as soon as it came out, with the free white single of Walk on By in it. I sort-of lost interest in the band after the Raven, but once Baz joined they became killer again. And now, even with JJ being the lone OG member, they're still great.
Thanks for the likes and comments on social media, guys. But, it would really help if you could also like the video on RUclips and subscribe to the channel if you can, please? There are lots of other interviews up there and lots more to come. If we can fire up the algorithm it will hopefully enable more people to see the videos. Thanks.

❤TRUE LEGEND ❤
The original idea of punk felt like permission for anyone who had an idea and some attitude to have a go and get a chance. So very diverse things happened. Then the rule-makers put it in a box and made it into just another genre.
Nice story !
