I guess Greenfield didn’t spot Hugh playing the keyboards with a drum stick then! Mind you, I thought Dave looked pretty convincing as frontman👍. Edited June 11, 2021 by Nail Soup 1 Quote

Plus one to that. As much as I like the stones in particular I think the Vikings did less plundering. Then there is Led Zep… Quote
SteveXFR Posted June 11, 2021 Posted June 11, 2021 What happened to the heroes? Too much dirty bass tone and unhealthy diet. They needed more fruit, flash cars and women. Quote

And listen to the bassline line to Nice & Sleazy, then to one of the mid section breaks in Carry on Wayward Son by Kansas and there’s not that much difference. Similarly the verses on Duchess and Surrender by Cheap Trick bear more than a passing resemblance. Should point out I’m not knocking The Stranglers here, great band, loved them since the late 70s.

spongebob Posted June 11, 2021 Posted June 11, 2021 Stranglers '77-'82.....effortlessly cool. 2 Quote

Hellzero Posted June 11, 2021 Posted June 11, 2021 Playback is not their thing for sure. 🤣 I love the wine bottle fiddling by a ... wine seller : excellent way to loop a loop. Loved the Stranglers until Hugh Cornwell departure. That said, Muse (that I don't like at all because they have just copy-paste Ultravox! and never cited them as an "influence") have taken the playback joke a step ahead with great fun up to the interview...

Stu-khag Posted June 11, 2021 Posted June 11, 2021 I love a bit of sillieness when miming. must be loads out there. this is eels with mini instruments or are they giants? 2 Quote
Nail Soup Posted June 11, 2021 Posted June 11, 2021 What happened? - resigned - retired - died - survived RIP Dave, you hero! Quote

On the subject of 'Inspired by' I always thought there's a touch of the Dr Who Theme in that one... Quote

Quite right too - 4 and a half minutes of dreadful misogyny. My daughter was raped while out of it, does that make her a 'good girl'? Edited June 12, 2021 by BreadBin 1 Quote
Teebs Posted June 12, 2021 Posted June 12, 2021 Whatever happened to the heroes? They gave up, and faded away in the face of overwhelming odds. Quote
