The Stranglers - Hugh Cornwell intreview and Wonderbra ads

[inneswarbeck1]

Looking forward to seeing Hugh in a couple of months or so in Melbourne. I saw Stranglers back in about '80 in Carlisle , Uk, and they did storm of after some sort of argument. They remain the best band of the punk/new wave era for me and a large part of that is down to Hugh, obviously. Here's hoping he will play a full set . even if the the audience get a bit lairy.

@inneswarbeck1 Damn, I just checked out his tour and he's not coming to Adelaide. Oh well enjoy him in Melbourne, lucky you.

Cornwell might not be the Stranglers, but the Stranglers are certainly not the Stranglers without him. Strangely the Wonderbra ad does not seem out of context to me.

[Lytton333]

The Stranglers without Hugh Cornwell isn't the same thing as Hugh Cornwell without the Stranglers. Is it?

[RattusNorvegicus67]

yeah hugh is FANTASTIC not plastic like his wonderbra adds... the guy lost it years ago when he actully thought he was the stranglers.... an well ? he was just another singer really his words nobody else:s... hugh is a knob ..... big baz is worthy... i dont like sell out merchants..... hugh dontcomebackinblackyafanny:)

[XCERT4]

Hugh Cornwell is the Stranglers. simple

[tbayaren]

@XCERT4 you are so wrong.

[sofaguard]

hugh is a knob? No, hugh is a top bloke and a great artisit. to reduce such a greatr man to one word is ridiculous

[almklit]

Yeah that's why I think the Stranglers were the real deal and if a label was to be attributed to them I would call them P P Punk. But labels restrict unfortunately. Let's look at there originally philosophy the Stranglers had learn 3 chords and start a band they never got the credit for that statement but it is in Strangled well before Sniffin Glue.

Stranglers are legends, hugh is cool, whats wrong with political correctness though, doesnt do any harm.

Cracking pair of tits on that bird too!

[devilkitty]

Way ahead of their time. Strippers on stage and the lyrics to "Peaches" are almost quaint these days.

[RattusNorvegicus67]

[fiscornioman]

HUGE cornwell.

[dinosaureu]

Tell it to the Adverts, X-Ray Spex, Subway Sect, Eater, Ivy Green, The Fall, and Penetration. Hell, how are the Sex Pistols the least bit polictically correct, left-wing, or conservative?

[LoneConformist]

YES! Punk is the most overrated movement -- crap left-wing agitprop, Che Guevara-shirt-wearing B.S. Knocking down straw puppets that were made to be knocked down in the first place ( evil Republicans, Nazis, ooohh... )

But The Stranglers have the last laugh, their stuff sounds prophetic now and has aged much better than The Clash.

[TMarlowe26]

Agree. The Stranglers stuff has lasted better The Clash. Well said.

[4k4johnson]

Stranglers..Fantastic..

Clash..Brilliant..

Music is not a competition.

Hot Girl...Hot Song or switch it around?.I like it!

[pw3uk]

He's spot on, punk was and still is so depressingly conservative.

[AmericanLeather]

Funny thing is.... Those same contradictions are in punk music to this day.

Very Cool post, The bra commercial is a CLASSIC!
