I saw this new Hugh Cornwell (ex-Stranglers) tune on TV recently - pretty good:

... and it made me look up this - the extended version of 'Walk on By' by The Stranglers:

(BTW - can't embed two vids in one post?? Dis is new ...)

Walk on by is Dave greenfield doing the doors , in a good way

I was reading a book about The Stranglers, and back in '77 when people would say they sounded a bit like The Doors, they'd say 'Wha? Who? Doors? Never heard of 'em, mate.'

Ha. They was lying, of course. Cornwell's guitar style is quite like Robbie Krieger as well. The solos on 'Walk on By', I reckon, were later ripped off on this piano solo by Jools Holland on The The's 'Uncertain Smile', released 1983 (from 3:25 until the end).

I'm sure this is a fave of Roth Army regulars ... NOT.

They are similar or definitely a nod to them.
Back in the day , in my yoof I played a support gig with the stranglers in London , post Hugh . Paul Roberts I think , any way they were very cool guys . John Ellis the then guitarist was ace he just wanted to talk guitar all night .
I do have a soft spot for the stranglers .

I had no idea you were a musician, Van-d ... my only brushes with famous musicians (off the top of my head) were with: i) Michael Schenker, drunk out of his tree in a takeaway in Glasgow after a MSG gig - he offered me a slug of his brandy, circa 1981; ii) Neil Murray, once of Whitesnake, who I shook hands with in the loos (oh-er) at Van Halen's Wembley Arena gig in ...92, I think; and Lloyd Cole (of Lloyd Cole and the Commotions) who I actually shared an apartment with for a few months in '85 in Glasgow. He really was a bedsit bard, even though he was by then on his second album, and in the charts etc ...

I remember Lloyd cole they had a couple of hits I think , though not my cup of tea.
Meeting people who are famous has totally changed now a days with the development of mobile phone cameras . Imagine a pic of u and schenker having a drink it would be class

Schenker was elastic man - there were a couple of roadies trying to keep him on his feet, and protect him from harming himself or getting into trouble, but too scared to just take the bottle off him for his own good ...

A girl friend at the time loved U2 and to my shame made me go see them in Leeds some years ago .
So we're wondering around town and bump in to Wayne hussey of the mission . A indie pop band at the time but he was pissed off his face in the middle of the day , And could hardly speak .
So we go to the gig at the stadium and various bands are playing and on come the mission and Wayne hussey has a bottle of what I assume is jd and staggers about a bit sings a couple of songs then falls off the stage . And this is one of these high stadium gig stages . The band play a bit music and then cut short the set ..
It must be a talent to be able to be that pissed and perform , one mr hussey had not mastered lol
