Paul Roberts was The Stranglers Frontman from 1990- 2006. The Stranglers had released 5 Studio Albums with him. And this Albums are very good. And Paul did a very good Job as their Singer. I mean Albums like About Time or the punkish Norfolk Coast are great Albums so far. Thank you Paul ❤
Good for you for getting us this interview & insight. I only began reading about the background to Hughs’ leaving the band & John saying he felt betrayed . On one hand it’s all ancient history but on another without those events we wouldn’t be where we are .
So great to see Paul. Hopefully we'll get a chance to see him gig again. So many memories of great nights with the Stranglers, Faith Band, Soulsec, Back in Town with JE.....
The man who saved The Stranglers according to JJ many times, and who gave them a completely new and great sound with John Ellis an awesome guitarist. The MeninblacK for sure.
Agreed, Mr Roberts: Glasgow Barrowlands rocks - as it did on the last show at Barrowlands on the tour I was fortunate enough to be on. Does Paul still follow Fulham as I do Blackburn Rovers!! Good to see & hear yer pal. Hope all is well ;-) ... Woody
The lowest `point in their career. I don't what this guy brought to the band, it wasn't even the Stanglers at this point and has never gone back to the glory and energy of the original lineup.
Better than Warne??? Ha ha you are utterly deluded...stranglers with baz material dwarves anything mk2 did. Respect for Roberts he had an impossible job but the live audiences were dwindling before Norfolk Coast. I wish him all the best though
@@simonbarber2098No, I'm not utterly deluded, I just have a different opinion - one which does not measure quality merely by commercial success or the size of a "love [sic] audience". I'd take Hugh's voice over either of these any day though.
You obviously don't know the History of the band. Hugh was in the first and best line-up but he left in 1990. The Stranglers were Hughs band but they continued without him. 🫤
Paul’s’ face or the shape of the front of his head does offer more of a resemblance to Bowie than anyone else in The Stranglers & his speaking voice is in a similar frequency to David’s’ so I can see where comparisons lie. For me Baz certainly sounds uncannily like Hugh although I’m on dangerous ground with half the fans !
Such a singer is Mr. Roberts. You are hugely loved by legions around the planet. An awesome Stranglers frontman. Cheers, from Belfast, fella. x

Thanks for this i have missed Paul & his funny banter

Paul came to one of my gigs once in Towcester.... Cool chap
So good to hear you again
Brilliant stuff.. Great to see Paul and hear what he has been up to. One talented fella..
Brilliant front man and top bloke. I loved his time in the band
Great to see Paul again, dont forget to stream or download his new song Freedom
Best singer the Stranglers had! 😊
Have been watching (tonight) a lot of footage with mr roberts as the stranglers frontman.. absolutely gorgeous! And an amazing singer!

Good God I could scarcely believe it. Ageing is a cruel mistress as they say. Worzel Gummidge with glasses.
Was always great to see him incognito in Chiswick Sainsbury's.
So much better a voice than Barry Warne. Golden Boy!
Amen

I measure it by the actual quality of the music which with Baz is as good as mk1.
@@simonbarber2098 ...and are you utterly deluded? Much of the quality music Barry plays/sings was written by Hugh.
Nice bloke,, but totally wrong singer for The Stranglers .
What were they thinking?
Sorry to say this Ross but try opening your mouth more and show more facial expressions. I believe you'll improve instantly.
Paul looking windswept and interesting
From the stranglers are you sure I think you mean Hugh cornwall
I think you meant Hugh Cornwell.
You obviously don't know the History of the band. Hugh was in the first and best line-up but he left in 1990. The Stranglers were Hughs band but they continued without him. 🫤
Nope..looks/ looked nothing like bowie.
