Stranglers - Always the sun 1997

[rrreinhard]

that' so much beyond of garbage.. that untalented singer, the fat drummer and the dumb guitar player together. this song should be banned from youtube. It is an insult to the original song.

[conkeroonee]

Karaoke from hell.

[ADY954]

Shat!!



[Gazzle66]

Oh JJ and Jet,why oh why did you allow this to happen to the Stranglers?Singer is just totally incompatible and unsuitable for the band.Sixteen years down the pan.

[TheAluminiumklorid]

This shows it really again; A great 80's song, affected by the gayish 90's style... DISGUSTING!!!

[cobranacho]

This sucks

[deenaraeturner]

This ain't The Stranglers and it sucks.

[horrorloverxx]

They were better than this when they toured last year :/

[quizbuff2000]

The singer's boss eyed!

[kp5271]

horrible

[mentengkoba]

What is this ? Even a bug on 0'42... Is it supposed to be the stranglers ? No way it is. Maybe the new blondie should try and run for a the-newest-pop-band-in-town-co­ntest. Audience really look bored. As well as the historic band. Not good to play anything without Your soul. Do not just try to learn by heart. First, understand what You saying, bro'. anw I'm very unsure You can. beurrrrrrk !

[Nico3039]

quel massacre pour une si belle chanson...

[blizznook]

No Stranglers without Hugh thats for sure. This dude butchered this song and all other Strangler songs.

[mikee66]

bullshit



[MultiFarid10]

Tant qu'ils reculeront l'idee d'evacuer la terre Palestinienne

[MultiFarid10]

Il fait soleil pour les juifs

[oblongfan1]

my heroes. minus paul roberts.

[PeterTRFC]

Paul is terrible! Glad he left, was not Stranglers..

[2ambrokennail]

This guy is no good they need a better singer, shame Hugh and the others can't kiss and make up.  Joe made up with the rest of the Clash, only just not in time, please Hugh don't make the same mistake.

[daniellatierney123]

I saw the stranglers in 1997 in the Falkland Islands 5 nights running and Paul Roberts was fantastic. He nearly drowned out there while swimming with dolphins and had to be saved by RAF Search & Rescue!!!

I also met JJ Burnel in the Falklands - what a top bloke - he can certainly party!!!

[rongrelio]

No es lo mismo asi.

[ribs303]

I'm a Stranglers fan and i have always steered clear of the stuff they done with this singer, after watching this i can rest in the knowledge that i have missed nothing.

[MrNobCake]

Nice wood block work

[slapuprightbass]

unplugged??

[mrbarleymob]

what the cock is the point...queen without freddie. beatles no lennon. stones without jagger.who without daltrey. eagles with no henley. i could go on but i think ive made my point...u can change a bass player, u can change a drummer,,hell even lead guitarists have changed in big known groups...but the LEAD SINGER. its just rediculous...who the hell buys tickets to let these guys believe its a good thing...oh well. ive seen it all.

[Rubberpigg]

Oh my word!

I don't know whether to laugh or cry.

[1Atomtan]

He ain't Hugh. Sorry.

[orvelski]

terribly sad... without Hugh The Stranglers are just a good laugh...

[jin6000]

Quare sound out of that brick.

Hahahaha.

[jin6000]

Drummer quare picks up the pace on them without warning!

[DottieSnee]

Well, who's going to boo David Hasselhoff when he's got a brick in his hand?

[zebulonferret]

I disagree with you, he does a pretty great gig. His voice is really great maybe he misses a bit of charism on stage but it rocks !

[ciubacaa]

drunken monkey!

[DottieSnee]

Why is the guy from "Baywatch" singing? Did Hugh get busted again?

[ripflunk]

its not about cornwall, its about the music. always the music, who cares who sings it, as long as its the music we loved, and we did love it.we still do.

[mrbarleymob]

@ripflunk nah bollox...it aint the music u loved is it..christ the guy who sang it isnt there...dont get me wrong if this guy was the original singer...and it sounded like this it woulda been a hit...but it doesnt work when its already been done by someone else...man a cover is one thing...but to try and be someone else is just garbage..the remaining members shoulda started a new band...or given up.

[alexanvib]

Hugh Cornwell was better...

[deepsea83]

i could sing this better after ten pints....

[PaulVonHindenberg]

@deepsea83 LOL

[bennyfromboner]

@deepsea83 ..So could i lol ..Hugh is THE Strangler...

[Ganjamule]

@deepsea83 yeah but you didn't did you? you cunt!

[deepsea83]

@Ganjamule to be honest, ive been known to! cunt!

[hinkyponky]

@deepsea83 Are you sure you wouldn't fancy him too after ten pints?

[mikee66]

@deepsea83

nob

[sofaguard]

turd

[staygee1]

UNPLUGGED ?????

[chuckschilling]

It ain't unplugged, and it ain't THE Stranglers.

[ohio1968javelin]

GREAT TUNE the new singer does a good job,he dosnt over sing great band.

[1505001]

first team the stranglers is the best this version is a shitty version mate doesnt sound too good............pity

[Irishfreecitizen]

its a lovely song but that version is pretty shit and the drummer is making me sick

[missfying]

Drummer sounds pretty tight to me.

[hinkyponky]

Excellent - Nice post - cool to see Mk2 stuff

[ManDissen]

BRING BACK HUGH

this new guy is a faggot and it's like the band gave a retard a stick to play with during the performance

[mrprytania]

LOL!

[jemmus]

What an old codger I am

[jemmus]

Who are these people? : ) Don't mean to criticize, just surprised not to see Jet, JJ, Hugh and Dave.

[slitheen]

But there are three out of the four on stage. Only Hugh is missing! Well, I say "only" Hugh, but he was instrumental. Still, he left....why should that mean the rest never work again? Fair play to them...and the new guy is a decent enough singer.

[mrbarleymob]

@slitheen bolox..its crap..u wouldnt keep the stones going without jagger or the who without daltrey, or the beatles without lennon it doesnt work with lead singers when the bqand is a well know as this..its crap..and no the guys sdont have to never work again...they just start a new band with this guy if they think he's that good..and write some new songs..or did cornwell write the songs as welll as sing them???

[MoveOverCasanova]

bring me the head of rogers on a plastic tableau and i´ll forgive him that he dared to replace Hugh Cornwelll!!!

[MrBazzabee]

Just 2 point out to 2 bossanova down there -He was invited to sing for the strangs,and as 4 Cromwall-He's counting out time!!

[Pseudoreflexionen]

I Rember on Tv spot from Herforder Pilsener: Is Wonderful hit and Song.

[ksmit]

a great version of this band.

[ksmit]

them problem is that PR didn't write this song and could give a sh*t about singing it properly.....sad version of one the Stranglers best songs. The new Stranglers with Baz singing is

[vintagezigg]

I consider this version a cover, since Hugh isn't there, but it's interesting. Such a beautiful song.

[PapaPinotte]

This singer fukken sucks.

Only Jet still looks cool.

[sawyerboy13]

Sad excuse for a lead singer. WTF

[dresib]

Umm... unplugged? Is the synth unplugged? And the electric guitar?

[jegz37]

yes :) even the singer microphone is plugged ^^

[miguelpaleta]

Just returned from Stranglers concert in Barcelona & they were great especially considering they´ve played about 20 gigs all over Europe this month!. Baz Warne is an excellent guitarist and frontman - a bit laddish & could do with more artyness but Paul Roberts was taking the piss...

[weenore]

is this lead singer in this vid still with them?

[TheDaniel82]

no its not

[miguelpaleta]

No, Baz Warne is

[muscleboundhomo]

blech where is Hugh? This guy is a sassy stick-smacker that's for sure but can't sing worth SHITE.

[fatboy6846]

your never match hugh,where is he,such a loss

[bobbyblue122]

Royalty rights drove the band apart, leading to the sad departure of Mr Cornwell a long time ago..He's now solo, but did an amazing 'purple helmets' reunion gig last year. There's hope for the original stranglers yet!

[neal152]

Hugh wasn't in the purple helmets. Hugh rejoining the stranglers?.....don't hold your breath anyone

[girochaser]

Claim to fame here I fixed the lead singers back, when I was in Kosovo twice. Not bad for a dish washer from Clydebank. Had this song dedicated to me along woth golden brown. Can anyone beat that?

Dylan

[andrew80s]

UUm. Not keen on the singer (as has been noted :) He sings ok but looks like he should be in a boy band.

But what *were* the vision editors doing? Almost no time on JJB and/or Dave!

Took me most of the song to work out they were still in the band. Jet Black looks as uncompromising as ever :)

[invisible1955]

John Ellis had already replaced Hugh on guitar: he couldn't handle lead vocal - Paul was natural the natural choice. If it hadn't been for him, there would probably be no Stranglers in the 21st Century? Now we have Baz - long live The Stranglers!

[zx1cr]

Don't talk such bloody rubbish, how does he do very well!? He is such fucking poser!!

[rachel2cats]

YOU ARE A JERKXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX

[zx1cr]

Thank You..:)XXXXXXXXX I try to be..:)

I saw the Stranglers anew on Wednesday, with a new front Man...Well, I think he has been with them about 18 months...They were amazing...And I was right, this guy was a fucking poser...XXX

Take Care and Lots of Love to You rachel2cats !!XXOO!!

If people out there like this guy, maybe it is to do whether you saw them the first time around...? Like at Plymouth Polytechnic in 1978...

[Sirenengesang]

shut up, you all. Paul does a good job on allways the sun.

Ok, some songs like golden brown he can`t reach Hugh, but in this case his performance is verry well done.

[paddytaggart]

well said, i'm a big stranglers fan,seen paul play with them twice and on his own,very good performer live,no 1 else could have sang the songs as well as he did when hugh left...Long Live The Stranglers...

[bennyfromboner]

@Sirenengesang ..Sorry to differ But Paul dont cut it ..Hes {Pish to be honest ..sorry

[zx1cr]

What a load of shit...Fucking cheeky Bastard's...Hugh was the Coolest guy around...No fucking contest and the Stranglers ended up with this knob!! OMG!! They should have just packed it in rather than end up like this!!

[Renegade150474]

i agree zx1cr,its not the same without hugh

[phreak761]

Fucking hell this is wank what happened to the original stranglers.

[ojf1985]

that singer is such an idiot .. i can´t believe it

[Meath3ad]

Robert's is a f#*king twat. Look at the way he hits the stick thing. He's always drawing attention to himself. He acts like Ricky Martin. Delighted he's gone.

[imkeith4q]

they should hang it up

[hanging1v]

a gay lead singer? not a true strangler, not aggressive enough? baz has got the live x-certificate factor?

[Pitumisio]

I gotta be too drunk to take that poor singer as the incomparable Hugh Cornwall / this version sounds flat & soulless because of Hugh's absence / 00:42 WTF Jet Black? An amateur drummer opens a song better!! And I am a Stranglers fan!!

[ryry10001]

no hugh cornwall

[treefig33]

He left in 1990. So no, no Hugh Cornwell.

[Bigthingcoming]

Never seen this before, anybody got any idea were it was filmed etc?
