The Stranglers - In Heaven She Walks

[tbayaren]

I like it.

[trilingual]

18 dislikes? why?

[VenusInFurs77]

* Sorry, I meant Hugh, not Chris.

And, by the way, Writen In Red and About Time are their two best works. My personal opinion...

[VenusInFurs77]

The Stranglers have many faces, and each one of them has it's appeal, to me. Personally, I love the classic songs from their first era, but,  as singer and performer, I prefer Paul rather than Chris. It's just another concept. Anyway, they're one of my "top 5" bands of all times.

[helloimbash]

she duz xx

[scottdavis0801]

bullshit



[miltonatchet]

whoops i thought this was the stranglers

[marcuslaughton]

rubbish nuff said.

[Atebl]

ouais en fait j'aime mais ça ressemble pas aux stranglers...

pardonne moi toodidoo

[oblongfan1]

just wish cornwell would get back with the stranglers put their differences from the past aside. they need to come back with force. music today is dying.

together they can put any band to shame!!

[qwargy]

It's an OK song. They should have stopped calling themselves the Stranglers when Paul Roberts replaced Hugh. I probably would have listened to more of the post Hugh stuff then without constantly making mental comparisons between the two.

[edwards21416]

back to the drawing board boys ,no grit,not edgy enough cant they write something interesting like black gold and how its suposed to be running out of, or revamp some old folk song weve never heard of,or how females get more pissed up and violent or anything but this

[irishelk1]

i dont like that paul roberts guy ,i dont think he suits the stranglers,since hugh the best singer has been Baz Warne...

[trilingual]

Paul is/was awesome--just different from Hugh . . . pulleease, people!

[davestany]

who the fuck is this?obviously not the Stranglers,how come they steal?????

[Moneo]

Did... did Dave got hit with a bottle in this clip?

I hated this song a lot before but it seems to be okay now. But the best times were with Hugh for sure.

[organaphus]

Unfortunately, this epitomises what went wrong in the period 1990-2000. I think it picked up as soon as Baz joined.

[chinasherry1961]

got no soul

[almklit]

The song is alright it's just the vocals they don't fit.

[jesserai]

fucking crap

[sofaguard]

fuck me this is shit

[LuminousGuy]

THIS IS NOT THE STRANGLERS !!!

Hugh Conwell knew when the right time to leave was. No offence to the remaining guys.

[katoness]

@LuminousGuy this is the stranglers sound, just a different singer. Hugh would of sang this, no problem. I think you forget that the Stranglers are not just a great punk/rock band but also a great pop band. Nuff said.

[MrBazzabee]

Bloody Cornwell's fault --all this --for sodding off !!!!...... Stupid Bastard!!!

[LuminousGuy]

I loved the stranglers. But without Hugh Cornwell. Please change your name....

[lacusicusi]

"offerUcannot", you are right, Paul has a good voice but not for the stranglers.

BottomBoosh, again I agree: Baz has a better voice for this band... By the way, to me there are TWO bands:

"The Stranglers IV" , and "The Stranglers" which counts from the moment Hugh left the band in 1990.

Now, with Baz they are sounding good again, but it is just not the same level.

[ferrarottiano]

SORRY BUT I DONT LIKE

[hinkyponky]

This one should have charted - excellent song with a very funny tongue in cheek video (plus totty) :)

[gkxeno1]

@hinkyponky

[LifeInTheUniverse]

who's the fifth person?

[RattusNorvegicus77]

John Ellis.

[CrazyStubs3]

I love the stranglers and know them. Paul very well he is a nice bloke but again agree with comments regarding him being the Stranglers singer. He was never a Stranglers singer but to be fair to him some songs which he wrote were very good live but poorly produced on the album etc Heaven she walks. People calling Paul a sissy is unfair. I wish Paul the best of luck in the future :)

[BottomBoosh]

That's not  The Stranglers

the decline years

Paul Is Handsome & a bit sissy

Baz is has meaner rougher singing voice

[offerUcannotrefuse]

Paul is an excellent singer but not for The Stranglers. At least that's my opinion.

[malenaxpl]

crap :]

[Bunta9ue]

Its not what you expect from the stranglers brand is it eh! Cant hear that bass and I rather liked that.

[illastic1]

who the hell is this dude?

[bigaltaff]

What is this fucking shit? All thats missing is Pans Fucking People!

[Glamypunk]

Shut up! ....... and listen!

[seedofdestruction666]

Homofürst.

[hanging1v]

paul roberts was the decline of the stranglers? glad hes gone, baz gives it a raw stranglers sound, like in the early days, but a bit more polished, was at glasgow concert this year, brilliant just like the old days at the apollo, magic s1v

[heston99]

for sure..he was too pretty to be a strangler..baz is more mean looking..just right for the band......

[plonsdrums]

omg

[Monton89]

Biggest load of shit ever

[RacerX929]

fuckin ay what in the bloody fuck is this shite?

They think just because they got some ass shots in the vid makes this shitty song appealing?

Stranglers demise - 1990

[alanhug]

great song.

[buttsqocker]

oh dear, what is this, JJ Burnel should be the singer, too pop for this band.

[misterpunk]

this is a great song, great tune, great vocals and a cool guitar riff, some of the comments on this are so wide of the mark - do they have cloth ears???

[wildenfree]

Sounds ok as a stand alone song, but disappoints as a Stranglers song, however the good news is the new album is a return to Force and sounds like you would expect

[TVHello]

...great song even without Hugh!

[oxtheravenxo]

Surely not their strongest period, but the weakest stranglers are much more better than such crap like My Chemical Blabla or however these New Wave boybands call themselves.

[unionjackthelad]

what the fuck is this fucking shit?

"the stranglers" are a classic and infamous semi punk band.

wtf is this top gun arsewank style cheap shit?

[heston99]

i agree..paul roberts made the band lose credibility..he was a big sissy,especially when he had his long hair...

[madrsrider1]

yuk

[Janus6547]

This is awful, disgrace to the fantastic, ground-breaking band Hugh Cornwell built up. I'm just glad Hugh's still going to show them how it's done

[bloodspatteredgroom]

This is a fantastic song, and I completely agree with an earlier post about how amazing it is the song came out in 1997...If it was 1984, it would of been a success...It damn well should of been...

[morsonwelsh]

pretty cool song, though without Hugh it's not quite The Stranglers they use to be...

[borobadlad]

This is awful, went to see the stranglers play, everytime they played a classic there was a cheer and everyone rushed to the stage to listen, as soon as they played anything post-hugh everyone went to the bar. Says it all really.

[Monton85]

Looks like a video full of hookers

[Habibasse]

Amazing ! Stranglers are soooo good ! With or without Hugh ! Is that Baz on guitars ? It looks like John Ellis ! Great band !!

[PussmasterX]

I'm just surprised this is from 1997. It sounds like it's from the 80s.

[softbomb]

This is utter shit. There should be no debate here.

[jontheid]

I have to agree. He's almost like Rick Astley

[heston99]

i think you have hit the nail on the head! what were the stranglers thinking on taking him on as their front man! he ruined their image

[invisible1955]

Well of COURSE they sounded different... Try listening to Suite XVI - superb album! Paul has now departed and JJ and Baz Warne share vocal duties.

[Baronvon]

Suite XVI bores me. It's an incredibly frustrating album as there's some tracks on it (such as unbroken and Summat) that start of well musically and then just fall apart at the chorus. At least in my opinion. Plus a lot of the songs sound very similar to things they've done much better before.

Still...if nothing else Greenfield is really on form on it. Suppose he's making up for lost time after being sidelined for most of the MK2 era...apparently.

[dickerkata]

Perhaps Roberts is a good singer,but he´s definetly not in the stranglers.They do sound like a different band,where is the good old stranglers gone???

[invisible1955]

Fantastic track - beautifully sung Paul!

[laurenluvincraig]

leave paul alone people, he is only doin a job he likes! iits not his fault hugh went!!!

give the guy a break, he is brill seen him lives loads of times, and met him in person nice guy, also met hugh they r both nice men who just want to get on with live.

Oh and i love this song, cos my bestfriend died of cancer and now she walks in heaven!

[Monton85]

Pure crap

[borobadlad]

This is awful, no Hugh Cornwell - no Stranglers.

[borobadlad]

This is awful, no Hugh Cornwell - no Stranglers.

[kijankas]

I can't agree with garry1. Without cornwell it's not Stranglers any more. Roberts it's just "correct" performer, nothing more. He lacks something that cornwell has, specific way of singing, this "something" that makes him different that any other vocalist. For me - when he left the group - the story of the stranglers has over.

[Baronvon]

Same for me...they might still have the same name but it's the band itself that hold the real appeal. The original four of Cornwell, Burnel, Black and Greenfield were such a bizarre mix...yet they created musical perfection.

Nothing could even come close to topping how good they were...particularly as the guy who left was the main songwriter/singer.

[heston99]

i think hughs image was quite menacing and it suited the dark image of the band..paul roberts was just too pretty to be in the band

[Tastyinblack]

Awful. As a Stranglers fan all my life I can say with happiness that Roberts and Ellis have gone. With Baz they are back on track. Long live Jet Black

[alanbyond]

ridiculous video and song !

[garrry1]

brilliant stuff, roberts is a far better vocalist than cornwell ever was, with a better stage presence too...and john ellis was dynamite on guitar...written in red and about time are easily as good as black and white and the raven, and anyway, ANY line up involving JJ, jet and dave will truly deserve to be called the stranglers!

[manyonerise]

I like it as long as I pretend that it ISN'T the stranglers. Strange eh?

[kirkwallboy]

Replacement singers rarely work. Sorry, but on this Paul Roberts sounds like Noel Burke, who tragically replaced Ian McCulloch in Echo and the Bunnymen in the early 1990's. Having said that, things came together for the Stranglers with Norfolk Coast, and they were brilliant live at that time. And then Paul Roberts walked. Eh?

[misterpunk]

this should've been a hit, i still like it a lot!

[frank333444555]

When Paul sings Mk. 2 Songs he is a really fine singer

[FURNINBLACK]

Bright light from mk 2 years

[deadbydayinblack]

It is a sad fact thou that i have NEVER seen this video with out the "vh1" logo....like most of the mark II songs and singles For example.. the video for golden boy or heaven and hell. These has never been a collection , which i think is a shame.

still a laugh to see dave get bottled thou

[laurenluvincraig]

love this song and video, stranglers are brill, even more brill live, no 1 can beat them playin live! paul roberts is lush lol but then again so is JJB and Hugh cornwell mmmmmm very nice

[spqr2]

I've always hated everything I've heard the Stranglers do with Paul Roberts, but I've never seen this video before, and if I don't think of it as The Stranglers, I quite like it!

[gobber99]

Thanks for uploading this :o)

Saw them recently & they were FU**ING FANTASTIC

saintetienne21 & ellycat can suck dick as far as i am concearned this band rule 32 Years & still going strong....CMON

[ellycat]

Shouldn't even be called 'The Stranglers', because with this pop singer they are not 'The Stranglers' period! BOLLOCKS!

[saintetienne21]

terrible

[njhcerebus]

i love them am going to see them soon

[xenophon65]

16 years each - can't wait for the new album

[djouf]

yeah, I prefer the original line up, but this is a good track. They still miss Hugh as much as he misses them.

[rajio]

Love the stranglers, love their sound, thanks for posting this.

[jackoinblack]

wow,never seen this before,excellent
