The Stranglers "GENETIX"

[@oldmacdreadapexriddims1460]

Keep all of the lanterns burning for a ship to pass in the night... Dave and Jet Thank you for so many years.

[@stormduchess3128]

We'll never hear this live again. RIP Dave Greenfield.

[@vinny9708]

So sad,I don't understand how they can still tour

[@philwise872]

Happy birthday Dave

[@timwilderspin]

RIP Dave Greenfield. He was an immense talent.

[@atomicFlyer]

Jet is killing it! I always loved this structure of this song. Bass is killer, the ending lyrics is brilliant!

[@DizzyKizzy64]

Fantastic song

[@diggerthegroundhog8799]

Sadly The Stranglers will never recover from the loss of Dave Greenfield. How do you replace such a great keyboard player? RIP Dave and condolences to your family, friends and the band of course.

[@stormduchess3128]

And the loss of a great and humble man. A black day indeed.

[@stephielulu9096]

You can't. That's it now 🥺

[@crazydavec3861]

@@stephielulu9096 Yup, the "No Hugh No Stranglers" brigade are quite sad, best ignored. However, with only JJ left from the 1975-1990 era perhaps it's time to just clear up any remaining contracts and let that be that!

[@celticwarrior1365]

Great to see Dave sing one live for a change. I know he sang on the original song but the keyboard wizard needs more recognition than he gets.

[@aidanbrennan6587]

My fav. Dave Greenfield song. Thanks for posting.Dave playing Genetix in his finest hour.what a performance from the mighty stranglers.Dave you were a musical Genius and you will be sorely missed.thankyou so much for the great music you have wrote and played for us all in the last 45 years.RIP my friend.😢💔

[@ronggordon]

Being a fan of The Stranglers is great - you can replay JJ's bass lines in your head all day long free of charge! This song captures The Stranglers at their very best IMO with everyone making such a fantastic contribution to the song

[@herb79]

RIP Dave, you magnificent demon of the keyboards!

[@louis0121]

There's nothing to compare with this... Hard to take in we'll never get the chance to see this live again... RIP Dave.. Thanks for the music..

[@ramalama9650]

There was and much better. Pre 1990.

[@misslibs100]

RIP Dave 💔

[@neilfoster8292]

R I P Dave Greenfield, a genius in our time .

[@Snortflakes]

Still shiverin' after listenin' to the Bass in this song . . . I'm a lead guitarist - This is AMAZING BASS.

[@jeankuldieu5551]

Thanks to stranglerism, I showed brilliant at an exam over biology .Not knowing too accurately what all this was about, being questioned about genetix, I merely sang the finale ov this tune (with the Mendel laws, and the correlative proportions ov ..., don't forget Hugh Cornwell is a master in genetic engineering ), and won the party . The examinator seemed just a bit surprised that I did interprate this in a great mass way . Strangler power always triumphs !

[@nicolagianaroli2024]

you kidding. is it true story? Reminds me of my brother who took excellent score in italian test when he literally quoted word by word the "CCCP fedeli alla linea" manifesto which states "rather than discotheque we prefer mausoleums rather than break dance we prefer the change of the guard etc.etc.". The teacher was so enthusiastic. LOL

[@DizzyKizzy64]

RIP Dave, Genetics is one of my favourite songs

[@ChrisM541]

A masterpiece of a song.

[@scotticusnorvegicus]

3 mins 8 seconds and Jean Jaques Burnel proves he's the best bass player around. Great song, great band !

[@nigelb5340]

One of my favourite Stranglers songs, RIP Dave Greenfield...

[@thelegendarymackem9096]

best band ever

[@philwise872]

JJ giving Dave the nod at the end there,fantastic!

[@stormduchess3128]

Dave 'legend' Greenfield in command of the spaceship. Amazing!

[@stuartbarrett9534]

R.I.P. Dave. Love you 🐀🖤

[@revzillo]

Dave Greenfield, the voice of an angel,...... of Death ! ......,fantastic he put the sin into sinister !

[@BlMBO]

love this so much... i'll miss you dave :(

[@Snortflakes]

Pure Gold - you never hear a band this inventive these days.

[@MENSFORTHHILL99]

.Terrific. Is there any other bad that could make up a song like this?

[@TheBleech]

Words cannot descibe how much I have adored this ban for over 30 years.

[@andypropman]

Brilliant jazz drumming by Jet Black.. Amazing bass.. Sublime keyboards with malevolent singing thrown in for free. How good are they?

[@cyclone637]

still gives me goosebumps to this day

[@lord___paul28040]

RIP Dave

[@tonyburford421]

Haven’t listened to this in a while and even more poignant with the sad passing of Jet Black. It has to be said Dave was number 1 keyboard player and JJ is number 1 bass player even after all these years. Genetix is such a great song for the stranglers to play live.

[@stephielulu9096]

Oh my god, that was fucking brilliant

[@vinnyhunt8756]

Fricken masterpiece done to perfection

[@ggoldfingers]

Amazing technically gifted musicians.GREAT piece of music.Truly inventive....what more can you ask for?!

[@FP51DPO]

I always looked at this as Dave doing his bit for Prog rock... I mean he was the keyboard player in Rusty Butler... search that very interesting

[@johnmcdermott6506]

This was genius by the true Keyboard Wizard.

[@fullowing]

I just love this band,pure qualitity.

[@wellingtonweather]

The main man ... Brian Duffy... heartfelt thanks to him for being the rock behind the best

[@ggoldfingers]

That Bass STILL Gives me the shivers & I'm a lead guitarist lol

[@tonedial]

One day I'll master this drum sequence all the way through.

[@chrisstokes3135]

End of an era Thank you Dave

[@paolozak3014]

Oh Yes Dave ! ....what an incredible song with all these completely unbelievable different instrument parts coming together.

[@WAWELDRAGON]

fabulous., the Stranglers were in the late 70s and early 80s an adventerous and dynamic band. Raven what an album, many tracks were majestic and enthralling

[@nickytanner]

OK..... I'm one of the never got over Hugh brigade but I REALLY enjoyed that and fair play to Baz he did that brilliantly not mention Dave, Jet and JJ

[@alanhawley8900]

+nicky tanner ...yeh, second al of that.

[@patbassman8251]

Me too

[@peterhutton1915]

Four experts in their own way - The Stranglers have that "togetherness" that many bands can only aspire to.

[@richardolds2349]

I was a fan from the start and this was the first time I saw the band live at Hammersmith Apollo in 2010 and in 2018 going to see the band at g live in march ,

[@nasskhan4543]

Excellent. Rip Dave Greenfield

[@RealYoShadowGotNightmare]

I love Dave Greenfield...

[@DavidJohnLovell1]

Awesome piece from an awesome album.

[@ericprigent1213]

En réécoutant,tous les albums je m'aperçois qu'il avait une tres grosse influence sur le groupe sur la texture musicale ,il restera un membre plutôt discret en retenue mais TRES efficace ,merci pour les moments que tu m'as donné lors des vingtaines de concert que j'ai pu assister

[@kenhughes8777]

Utterly brilliant.

[@6666hoopick]

I've always been more of a Hugh fan since they split but they sound better than ever here. I like a band that sticks to the script as in replicating the songs faithfully and they've done a good job here

[@MoleLoL]

shame this wasn't played on the current tour, such a great song!

[@alanhug]

[@zcarm]

[@VivaZeBone]

1 person disliked this? Hugh man - give it UP!

[@bingoace]

Hugh Cornwell sadly is a bitter old bastard these days due to the fact the Stranglers have gone for nearly 25 years without him!

[@nickytanner]

+bingoace Wasn't that a joke about Hugh? and anyway Hugh was also a bitter young bastard!!!!!!

[@VivaZeBone]

nicky tanner - yeah it was a joke!

[@seanbongs]

Shit hot!

[@dab914]

davy boy,you should have sung more,what atalent

[@philwise872]

This gives Sewer a run for it's money And that is impossible!

[@foppishdilletaunt9911]

I wish Mæstro Greenfield had sung more. No one else could have done what he did.

[@leezeppelin48]

He was fuckin great. Even better than Ray Manzerak. RIP Dave 🖤

[@VivaZeBone]

Yeah he's not bad is he?

[@terrymacarsey2617]

Nice one, don't bother showing JJ's bass solo which is the whole fucking point of the song

[@TheGwimWeaper]

Like it or no, Hugh was a big loss

[@stephenalderson6279]

Just can't watch the great band with the imposter of a front man ... ( Appalling singer too ! )

[@daz.6112]

Gene regulation.
