@MARMARR1 Yes, you are right and their early albums are quite good. But that was many years ago when they had relevence. Post- Joshua Tree (some may argue even earlier), they started losing the plot (imho, of course) especially with Bono. I especially like their 1980 debut, Boy.
-
@llandudnoboy Yes, the picture-sleeve of the 45 shows them dressed and singing as choirboys. The Stranglers' 45/ 12'' releases were always fine treats and VFM. Have pretty much most of them!
-
I quite agree, songs as good as this now nearly 30 yrs old are still being played and enjoyed by new listeners not even born when it was first released.
The original video the band made all dressed in choirboys cassocks and singing along in a church somewhere in leafy England was one of the finest.
-
all i can say is this is the best band ever, part from clash,pumpkins,coc twins,etc.
-
That woman with the migraine headache in the ad next to this video is hot!!
-
@kudge43 i totally agree my friend,tina weymouths bassline in once in a lifetime is a worthy shout,but JJ should have been top of the pile by far
-
@btnikk ,agreed, jj is amazing, coupled with jet is an unbeatable rhythm section,arguably one of the tightest soulful rs ever...excluding 60s detroit
-
lol jet blacks a fucking legend
-
How fucking hot is this song!
-
the recent 'rock band' programme on bbc2 gave no mention to JJ in their 'best' bass player bit'absolute sacrolidge!!hewas the best bass player of his era,no question.[they had Tina Weymouth from Talking Heads who i respect but she aint got half the talent of Jean Jacques Burnel!!!!!!]

That was 1994 wasnt it? Ive read no mercy song by song and multitude of sins (at 14) but theres no mention.

Ah ok, been a long time since I've read the books. Maybe it was for Dagenham Dave, didn't he die in around 76/77? Knowing Burnel it was probably for some obscure Japanese ju-jitsu master haha!

What are black armbands about?
captaincrap1995 2 years ago
Not sure really, they may mention it in one of the books. I know Hans Warmling died quite young, maybe he'd just pegged it.

@SteveResin I THINK THE ARM BANDS ARE SOMETHING TO DO WITH LEAVING THEIR RECORD COMPANY, THE B SIDE TO THIS SINGLE WAS ABOUT THE EMI COMPANY, 'FOOLS RUSH OUT'
