Hugh left because the Stranglers became stale, and they never recovered. Sorry J.J.

For Hugh, and a right decision, although he could do both, the leave allowed him to express himself outside the confines of a long term group situation.

Although I think the stranglers were great at one time, neither Cornwell nor the Stranglers, which is now little more than a tribute band, are producing any music of note nowadays. Although many people do it, I can't see the attraction in seeing a band performing their hits from 50 years ago.

Totally agree with you, it was over a long time ago probably Hugh leaving was the exact right time the band called it a day.

JJ. A heroin addict Backs Israel. In a band with only one original living member. His worth as an individual and the value of his opinion has dwindled to nought. Hes just an egotist living off hits 40 years ago.

i think Hugh Cornwell mistakenly thought he was going to be the next Paul Weller and it didnt really work out that way despite having a sizeable body of work - His whole solo career, has been built on proceeds from his Stranglers days - Stranglers are still playing sizeable events, Hugh much smaller venues/festivals but credit to him for keeping on going

Hugh never copied anyone, he was his own man as a musician. Paul Weller though was a fourth division Stevie Marriott who he tried to copy, Weller isnt a MOD, the Style Council proves this......
@Doubrelle4 күн бұрын
@@ShaneRaw1 I dont know whether Weller is a MOD or not (though i would suspect not) My point was more that Hugh didnt enjoy the same success as other would be solo artists, Weller was an example of an artist that left a band and greatly increased his profile, its not really a reflection on the quality of Cornwells output, moreover that he struggled to maintain the level of success he had with the stranglers following his departure

How many front men leave a band and those remaining don't spend the rest of their career sucking lemons? Any band. Any decade. Any genre.

Their last album 'Dark Matters' was pretty good. Not in the Stranglers best half dozen but better than 99% of the garbage you hear today and it will be the last to feature participation from Dave Greenfield.

The spark went out on the last 2 albums with Hugh ! Can you imagine wot the follow up to 10 would have sounded like if Hugh had stayed ?? They had turned into a shitty pop band ! When i heard 96 Tears i knew they were done . Something had to give ? Hugh had different ideas to JJ, Jet , Dave .

I loved the early Stranglers, but their last two albums with Hugh (Dreamtime, and Ten) were awful. They'd clearly run out of ideas and enthusiasm - and their last two singles were note-for-note cover versions which added nothing to the originals. Just watch their final gig with Hugh, at the Alexandra Palace - with that awful jazzy brass section - and Hugh was visibly bored and going through the motions; he looked half asleep for most of the gig. It was embarrassing. It was clear that this version of the band had reached the end of the road - they were barely a faint shadow of their former selves.
@QualeQualeson3 ай бұрын
It was this guy, it was that guy. I'm not sure that it really matters all that much. The Stranglers went through at least 3 phases while Cornwell was still in the band. They had to keep moving, and the glory days were behind them regardless. Having Burnel and Cornwell be the best of friends and The Stranglers keep generating that same quality (rock) forever would be great, but that's just not how reality works. For anyone.

They did not do this one, or Motorcycle Man, which I kept yelling out for LOL....I do love Darkadelic but like Dave said, there are so many songs, how to do them all in a limited show time!! Love them always!

Unlikely that the original line-up would stay together for 50 years, so we should be thankful this version of The Stranglers is still going and the last album was excellent. It was Hugh’s choice to leave, so the others were within their rights to continue under The Stranglers banner.

Vinyl is a real record. Nobody’s stopping you from playing it. When HC left, my eldest child could barely walk. Nowadays we all have lines on our face and my youngest Grandchild seems to enjoy dancing to them. Sorry to disappoint you but there is no holy grail of true devotion to the Stranglers even if you are disposed that way.
