12 years old : Stanglers, I am now 55 and still love this band. They are just greaaaat, forever
Loved them for so long. RIP Dave I love you I loved your playing, respect to all the guys at this dreadfull time, respect and love to the Greenfield family. I wonder which one took the Rat home from the photo shoot? I bet one of them did.
Loved the Stranglers and an added bonus here for me in this doc is George Melly .
Fantastic songs ❤
These guys are really organic, I met them @ the whiskey a go-go. 'The Raven is the best ever. They are all good musicians.
My favourite band. Forever. Will never change.
Oh yeaaaaaah! My all-time favorite band!
C'est la folie!
The greatest band ever love the stranglers
Rattus Norvegicus stands out to me along with No More Heroes as two of the best albums ever made that defined and cemented the Stranglers signature sound.Though to be honest.They never made a bad album.I love all their work equally an amazing band. I met Baz on holiday with around 30 of his mates on the isle of Arran a few years ago at his mates hotel.The Henderson Arms in Brodick.He was doing a small private gig that was'nt advertised just for his mates and a friend and i got into their company and were invited along .Supported by an act called The Nicky Kemp band was an amazing night and i will never forget Baz stopping between songs to share jokes and Anecdotes.
Thank you for posting so that those of us who live in the garbage TV land of Australia can revisit some great music.
Bloody good band , nice one !!! , RIP Dave Greenfield , thanks for all the music mate !!! .
RIP Dave, and now Jet. Such an awesome band, and they'll live on through such a great back catalogue of classics
If only you could capture the sheer energy of the day and put it up on the screen!
The Stranglers were a huge part of my youth and I saw them many times in the early days. I wouldn't have missed living through that era for anything. It truly was an exciting time to be coming of age.
"Something Better Change". Change had to come, and change has to come again because music today is as corporate, bland and inaccessable as it was prior to punk.
Thanks for putting this up, it was great.
Change has come and it's named Sleaford Mods, Billy Nomates, Dead Sheeran. Not the sound of the Stranglers but it's a nut kick to corporate music culture and to the Brexiteers and to the consumer wasteland.
I've never seen this before, thank you very much for uploading this!!
77 was my year
Rip Dave
Hugh is the Top Man.
what a blast from the past Shiite im old, lucky its just on the outside ay,,thanks for sharing brother,xx
They were my favorite band still have all the vinyl in mint condition ,i liked their style ,just like Roxy music ,David Bowie ,they were different .
Best Band in the world.
i want those stranglers puppets !
if we never had those haunting keyboards i dont think the stranglers as we know it
And the Jumbo jet bass?
That's a rather confusing sentence, is it not?
And Hugh's shattered glass guitar sound. It's a myth that one instrument was more important than another!
R.I.P. Dave
Ah awesome doc. Thanks for sharing this^^ Been a big fan of them for decades.
Every person playing or singing in the best groups ever to be are quintessential to that group to make it what it is , simples 👍
Excellent, thanks for posting this & parts 2,3 & 4 as well.
Jet Black, what a legend!
Hes older then this comment😄
The stranglers weren't real punk they were " punkish".
He was quite cute in sexy bearish way, wasn't he. Hansum aww ❤
Haha! Kudos to the band for blowin' out the uni gig.
raised in a small town in new zealand, difficult to buy UK imports, pistols bollocks etc was hard to obtain, but instead i got BuzZcocks, and Stranglers No More Heros.
Later on the imports started to roll in, Undertones, Gen-X, Joy Division, and many more. They had to be ordered on vinyl
The Stranglers, like Throbbing Gristle and/or The Fall aren't sufficiently credited for their keen, if dark sense of humor. Black & White was arguably their best work. -Whatever.................
Personally I really enjoy the first 4 records, I always come back to those. After that, I have one's that I like okay, and the way they change is fascinating, but the energy and composition of the first three records is my favorite. Then the Raven. La Folie is okay. Feline is almost too new wave sounding for me. The Gospel of the Meninblack has some great tunes but doesn't captivate me as a whole. I like the 76-78 era the best. Not knocking them in the least.
For years like an idiot I only had and listened to maniacally their Live From London Cd which is just the greatest music I can think of. Lord knows why I didn't buy their other albums. I guess that one just satisfied me for then. Long story short this year I have been listening to all their stuff, finding out more about what an unusual group of guys they were and just what top shelf musicianship came out of The Stranglers. That bass, the keyboards, Hugh's voice, the lyrics, everything just floors me to no end!!!
If you listen to Black and White album, Jet has to reverse his bass drum to snare pattern at the opening to Death and night and blood, listen very carefully, I spotted this back in 78.
Hugh looks really healthy at 2:17. Great footage, thanks.
Gee my tinnitus was really playing up watching this video!
from the cover of the 1st album you could tell they´re great - no persona cult, you see greenfield and burnel in the foreground and the others in the background, surely because this was simply the best picture of the shooting or so...)) - they just never bothered about what is hip
>video ends<
Ah, there you are, hearing... I wondered where you'd gone.
*_"Have you all got your Crackerjack pencils...?"_*
Awesome band.
8:00 love how hugh pretends to play the guitar part on bass and JJ pretends to play the bass lineon the Telecaster
4.30........don't get any better than this! LONDON SOUND!
Very few bands have Class written all over them, and to be honest this is the only band I can think of.
You're not giving the grey matter much exercise then!
Nice. Discovered this band in “Sexy Beast”
Clash & Stranglers best punk bands ver .
Gran Banda!
RIP Jet Black
God bless you George
Epic band !
The guitar swap is a classic.
When the Buzzcocks tried walking off in Brighton in 1978, their whole set got smashed up..(including a roadie who had hit a kid in the head with a hammer ) I was there and saw it happen and one of my mates got a cymbal that was rolling across the floor. I doubt if that roadie ever walked properly again. That was real Punk and Brighton was a tough act
Where's Part 2? Removed for copyright purposes. Why not the other parts????
There you all go JJ considered himslef to be a Punk Rocker quite right too.
8:25 this is so amazing
these guys were almost prog rock, with some doors thrown in for good measure.
In other words prog punk!
thats how the caught me------but the album no more heroes tore me apart---it had no more heroes on it plus 9 more tracks that were as good------my fav being wogs-----then bar-------i dont know why hugh left but i have a rough idea------my mates following them till this day---- denis odonell died they knew him-------i think im a huch fan-----i,l always love that band so much history for me
JJ miming "BOLLOCKS" at the start of the TOTP Go buddy Go - and Dave going "Fuck Off" during the chorus...lol..
I can't watch it due to the high pitch ringing. Pity.
Have reshared to 'The Stranglers' googleplus community. Hope that's ok.
As a big fan of The Stranglers I offer these two piano cover in my channel: Waltzinback and Strange Little Girl. 💥🎹
correct....that gruff voice is him....he had good taste to play with the Stranglers
To cool
Thanks for killing off millions of my hearing related brain cells...
3.50......FUCKIN LOVE IT! THIS IS MUSIC!
alone n no more heroes was played
great piss take there on TOTP. JJ's playing the guitar and Hugh's on the bass ha ha.
this new greap called the stranglers
Anyone know where I can see this interesting doc without the brain-piercing whistling . . ?
The music is so loud you can't hear the narrative.
Did JJ say "we had to barricade ourselves in the stressing room"!?
I gotta get me soma dem puppets.
those puppets would fetch a bob or two and wouldnt be a bad idea for the Strahglerrs merchandise people to have these produced for sale. Great stuff, and what about Stranglers garden knomes, the potential is uinlimited :)
jet to me made the stranglers
JJ and Hugh have swapped bass and guitar roles in the clip about 8.30. I wonder how often they did this?
How is this documentary so old and yet, they're old too?
What does Hugh say at 01:52 when presenting Dave......."The only man who can ????"
He meant to say "Dave Greenfield, the only man who can write up a crossword clue on the keyboard". But he stuttered when he said it and basically ballsed it up. It was a reference to Daves cerebral nature as he was always doing crosswords, rubics cubes, puzzles, playing with packs of cards etc and is well known for being the boffin of the band (also incredibly gifted at mathematics)
flashtheoriginal Cheers.......I'd completely forgotten about this and had another careful listen........seems like he says the word "Anacruse" somewhere in that line. I looked it up and funnily enough it's related to crosswords.
flashtheoriginal aka absolute legend
RIP jet black
@skadeline Do you ?
hes just mentioned greaqt bands
Absolutely nothing wrong with Dr Feelgood, Kilburn, the 101ers or the Jam... all great bands, helped steer what came later...
Can't blame the Stranglers for that.
good puppets
Papier mache.
Unwatchable because of the high pitch tone going throughout, shame because it looks interesting.
I once saw the Stranglers in Bath in the 80s. Skinheads infiltrated the gig and were even hitting girls. One got up on stage and JJ punched him off the stage-just deserts!😂
Anyone see Dictators W/Stranglers?
Jean-Jaques Burnel looking more like Kevin McNally with age .
@rubencon and the pistols
Such a fucking shame Cornwell left the fold. The guy is such an original and had true charisma.
The current _Stranglers_ are nuthing more than a Stranglers' tribute band...which probably suits Burnell and Greenfield fine.
bRInG oN tHE NuBiLEs!!!!
no argument with that...2012 may as well be 50 years ago, 1962, with pretty boys and predictable dross providing the hits but no longevity, class or talent..but remember about 1964 Dylan, Beatles, Stones etc came to the fore....will 2014 be a revolution in music?..I hope but I'm not that optimistic.
Paul McCartney,psychedelic guitar? I think not Hugh...
Tongue firmly in cheek ;)
sbilts wrong he did taxman solo
Prog-punk.
