Was very tempting but am inclined to agree that never quite the same without Hugh Cornwell. Yes, i know he left yonks ago and they are a creative force moving on with new materal but i would be on a nostalgia trip.
Classic memory from school days was when just before half term break you were allowed to bring in your own music for discussion in class. Vivid memory of music teacher diving for the record player as one of my mates had put on 'I Feel Like Wog'
. Still i guess it could have been worse i.e. School Mam
Personally, everyone bangs on about the Sex Pistols but from that punk era i thought the Stranglers had the real class with not just the attitude but the songs and musicianship to back it up. And of course Dave Greenfield was a Brighton lad

my all time favourite too,only two things used to matter in my life when i was young,brighton's fixtures coming out and the stranglers tour dates
won't be there tonight as i live in france now,but very tempted to pop along to toulouse on 8th april,i did say i wouldn't go and see them without hugh,but having the chance of watching some of JJ's legendary bass rifts,i am very,very tempted
be interested to see the song list,probably be the same on the french tour,if it's filled with classics,might just tip it for me

Let me assure you Baz is a superb member. 11 years now and the rest of the band are the same. 3rd year in a row for me at The Dome, Brighton and 2010 was the greatest concer I have ever seen. Its pretty much sold out, all seats gone and a few standing left which is due to word of mouth that they are one of the few remaining legendary touring bands.
You forgot about Tank and Peasant in the Big Shitty.

The Stranglers without Cornwell like going to see PiL without Lydon...no thanks
They produced some MOR dross in the late 1990s/early 2000s with Paul Roberts and John Ellis, but the latest line-up (Baz Warne on guitar/vocals) is brilliant, as is the new album Giants - the track 'Freedom is Insane' is one of the bext things they have ever done - and I'm a die-hard fan of Rattus Norvegicus ('Down in the Sewer' - favourite track of all-time),The Raven, Duchess, etc, and have seen them 22 times.

you're a tinker, send our regards, seen them play in BRIGHTON mate ,early days GOOD BAND !!
Incidentally, some twat with a death-wish threw a pint over Jean-Jacques Burnel (a black-belt in karate) two weeks ago - watch him eye-ball the culprit at the end of No More Heroes before he jumps in to the crowd to sort out the beer throwing retard!
Saw them in Bristol last week; superb. Their last album 'Absolute Dissent' is one of the best and heaviest albums ever by any band; not a duff track on it, and 'The Great Gull' is a monsterous riff.
I've always thought 'Geordie' is a criminally-underrated guitarist. On stage, he looks so cool and laid-back, and makes guitar-playing look easy, yet he produces a wall of noise which sounds as if there are 20 guitars on stage. He's produced some fantastic chiming riffs over the last 30 years.
Sounds like the new album will be good too; this is on it, and is brilliant:

Check this out to dispel any doubts about Baz. The 2 minutes intro start shows what this band can do. SUPERB !
