I am from US and I have never heard of them until now. I think they are fantastic. Thanks You Tube once again for another discovery.
Fucking top band absolutely love them.
I was there from the beginning and still love them
Cheers Bigthingcoming, I`m living in Ireland now, so missed the original BBC documentary, so real nice to see it here. Big thanks mate.
WHAT EVER LINE-UP, THE STRANGLERS RULE!
Fantastic
Best punk band that graced our planet... no question
Brilliant job mate! Love all ya videos, the 4 parter-Blindingly Good!
Hugh was and still is a legend. Baz is great btw but Hugh was simply irreplaceable in my opinion. They are still The Stranglers but just different without Hugh. He had a violence and a snear in his voice that opitomized the hard core street sound. I miss him but what great great songs he wrote.
Brilliant!
Norfolk Coast was a fantastic album indeed Roberts' last & his/their best with him
i will always Remember the first time i heard them my step brother had just bought the no more heroes album and went straight to his bedroom i was doing something in the kitchen he put on the record and that sound blow me away i ran up stairs after him and said wow who's this and when he told me the rest was history been hooked ever since and i mean hooked i have toured with them met them all they saved from that disco crap that was going about in the 70s they destroyed all that lol
Excellent band!
At 4:35 that singer is plainly just doing a Hugh Cornwell impression!
Hugh thought he was going to be the next Paul Weller, but it never really worked out for him - his resentment of the Stranglers longevity sees no signs of abating - Stranglers have a very tight stage set, Cornwells is rough and ready which suits some but he struggles to do justice to numbers like Golden brown
This singer was a total poser no one could replace Hugh..
Who did JJ eventually marry? All I can find is, he was married to someone called Corinne and they had a son and daughter, but I can't find any articles or pictures of the wedding, family or anything. It was probably before the Net, but there are loads of articles which have been put on afterwards. Their kids must be grown up by now and he got divorced, but still no pictures or info about this area of his life. Can anyone shed any info on this?
Jean didn't seem like the marrying kind,am not surprised he split.
@@imogenimeson664 Yeah, I can't imagine him pushing a pram and some kid calling him 'daddy'. Looks so out of place.
@@treasurehunteruk9718 JJ seems like a private person, and I feel like Stranglers' members are quite private. I searched for their personal relationships and it came across to me like they don't live or get relationship like colorfully busy rock n roller. Dave's marriage life and his relationship with wife look so beautiful. And I read somewhere that JJ somehow had a regret getting married to french woman and then he got new girlfriend(I believe that interview was done in 2012, maybe?), and in these days maybe he is now single or got a new relationship, with children from previous marriage. And I am honestly surprised that he was married..I don't imagine him settled down so..
@@user-eb8mi3xi5f Yeah, I read he said he wished someone had told him never to marry a French woman - especially one from the south of France! He divorced and she now lives in France and his kids are in their 30s. Hugh never married, but there are loads of interviews with him and JJ all over the Net, though I suppose they want to discuss music and not their personal lives.
@@treasurehunteruk9718 Oh I see..And I heard JJ's parents came from the north of France? Isn't it right?
I don't think Paul Roberts was the best fit for the Stranglers, but I will say he's kinda fascinating to watch, much like Henry Rollins when he came into Black Flag.
What's that George?-The split was quite acrimonious and Hugh wants no more association with The Stranglers.and has hardly spoken since....SO......the rattles out eh.....How bloody childish and small minded can you get!!!! I have met both Hugh and Paul on several occasions and I can tell you who is more personable and FUN to be with !!!!---No!--go on, you have a guess!!!!
@oblongfan1 I`ve met all of the stranglers, JJ def a very warm,funny individual,extremely approachable. Dave more introverted,a nice geez! Hugh tho, i`ve met 4 times,and unfortunately on 2 occasions he was the one who fitted up his own ass most,sadly.
There's always the Son.
@LabiaLicker1 i know what you mean. hgh seems to not want to make peace. i spoke with him over the phone thanks to my cousin who went to a show of his in NY. JJ seems like hes down to earth awesome bloke, not that hugh isnt. but its true JJ has tried contacting hugh few times in the past but hugh has not returned his call... wish i could met them all. but they hardly tour the states :(
I love The Stranglers but I'll never see them playing live ,'cos I live in Chile , South america and no one knows their music .
But old punks dont die and go to heavan like i thought, they Hang Around and become strange, forgotten,and barley fever remembered.(fondly).
Great post - first band I ever saw when I was 15 in 1978 - on a school night too - pis*ed on 2 cans of Breakers! . They seem to have been written out of punk 'lore too. Loads of stuff about the Clash & the Pistols but not much about the Guilford 'glers. Anyone wants to dip into their back catalogue should go for - ''Rattus'', ''Black & White '', ''the Raven'' - now there's a classic tryptych for you to rival any band ! Fantastic musicians too...
@impossibly37111
Bloody true! I love the old Stranglers, met JJ a few times,he say`s it was like losing a brother,and that he tried to call him a few times! ? Hugh, who I`ve met quite a bit doesn`t have JJ`swarmth,and indeed does seem quite bitter about the old band........
Love Hughs new stuff, BUT- funny how half his set is old Stranglers material!?
not really when he wrote the songs.
@@Simplesimple123 erm! That comment was 10 years old if you actually look!
It was also made in the context that just prior to this, Hugh had been refusing to play Stranglers songs at his gigs & he'd been known to say he's pissed off with fans asking him to play them. Ok?
JJ pushed him through a wall and he fell through the other side. Perhaps Hugh got sick of the bullying.
@@treasurehunteruk9718 Funnily enough l heard from a good source that both JJ & Baz were a tad bullish/bullying towards Paul Roberts as well, hence his departure!
Who knows? No smoke without fire?
@@treasurehunteruk9718 LOL I bet that was a sight worth seeing,nice one JJ.
It is sad. I GREW UP with them. The REAL ones. Now, I feel they are a corpse walking about the room. Without Jet Black and Hugh there can be no STRANGLERS! My opinion... They USED to be the BEST. There are times for... retirement, not... replacement of parts!
@ribs303 exactly.
@cosmicrider287 Wheen he was yungaa... -.-
The new singer is crap.Hugh was right.Couldn’t listen to that.
@PooTillYouWin Hugh stinks. He was crap at the Ally Pally gig 1990 unlike the Stranglers 2007 at the Roundhouse
He was bored by then and had enough. Already knew he was going to leave. You'd have to look at his glory days from the beginning before judging him.
no i dont like music, jet says
it was really over when Hugh left. so much they did before thankfully
