Ran into Hugh Cornwell and JJ Burnell at the Rainbow Theatre in London 1979 but i didn't know it was them. Brother in law says. Oh d'yknow 2 of the Stranglers were there? Wanted to wring is bloody neck don't ya know? Well it's all history now kids, whatever!
As looks go she's nothing special ! And technially as a bass player she's not fit to tune JJ's tuning pegs. Average at best , she should try turning it up so you can hear it .
@@stephenbennett4265 Caz is a fantastic bass player but maybe you are not convinced for what she has done with Hugh but you will be surprised on how good she is with the keyboards and backing vocals/choir with other artists. She's so talented and versatile. PS: She's a good looking woman, dude.
Good rendition. Sweet! Would sound brilliant with some keyboards though? Lacks Daves (or a decent keyboard players in-put)??? Good to see the Hughster still has it.
Always liked HC's music, but I think he could afford to have a keyboard player along on these gigs. It would make the performances way better. Trying to cover it all with just guitar/bass/drums isn't working.
I don't agree. I love watching Hugh because he offers a different arrangement of songs I adore. It would never sound like this done by the Stranglers. I like it. Granted, some tracks work better than others. But to back up what I say search for Hugh Cornwell Bear Cage Rockpalast. It will blow your mind. Long live Hugh
Hugh is brilliant, but having just listened to the original ‘84 recording I thought half the band forgot to show up here. This man deserves far far better than this 6th former band backing him.
Hugh walked from one of the best rhythm sections of the 70s 80s , and of course he was part of that rhythm section. This, on the other hand is a rhythm section that isn't happening
Well, we never goes on behind closed doors, why did the Beatles split,or Led Zep or the Beach Boys, we can only shake our heads ruefully and celebrate that with you tube we have previously un -aired material
They did share vocals in the Stranglers and there were keyboards, so technically your're wrong 🙄 I doubt the likes of 5 minutes , Raven, Thrown Away, etc that JJ sung would sound the same sung by hugh ! Don't like this version without the keys and a bass you can't hear, its empty .
@@stephenbennett4265 Cornwell sang 70 songs on their first 10 most successful period albums before he quit JJ only sang 25 and Dave 5.Both Burnel & Dave gave up lead vocals totally when Roberts & Ellis joined..Have you heard Burnel trying to sing Thrown Away or Something better Change live? (Painful) They were a spent force even before Cornwell quit. & the reason he quit goes back to the Rome 1985 back stage incident with Burnel..Who'd blame him for quitting? I do agree that Cornwell's material & live shows are lack lustre but Burnel still using the Stranglers Moniker Playing Billy Butlins & Israel now carrying on without the great Dave Greenfield is shameful.
@@ghmusic8116 Having grown up with the band i am aware Cornwell sung majority of songs ! Still doesn't get away from the fact that Hughs versions of Stranglers songs are awful 🙉 The Roberts, Ellis era did not interest me at all it was only when they left i rekindled my interest on greatest hits tour 2008-2009. Iv'e seen the band on several occassions since and have never come away feeling dissapointed or that as a band they'ed lost it . Seems to me you don't like JJ Burnel . They were a spent force after the Aural Sculpture , neither Dreamtime or 10 were good albums . If Rome was one of the reasons for Hugh quitting why did he wait 5yrs ? It was no secret the 2 didn't get on and you don't push ya luck with a young agressive Burnel . As for the band carrying on i feel they should packed in when Jet retired ! The latest album was almost finished and farwell tour already rubber stamped before Dave passed and JJ and Baz have said they felt duty bound to finish the album and do the tour as it would been wot Dave wanted ! On they're last tour 2019 they were still playing to thousands most nights in sold out venues all over the world and laughing all the way to the bank as has always been the case. Wot was bitter Hugh doing ? Scraping a living Playing to a couple of hundred people in shitty venues on a covers tour with another loser John Cooper Clarke. Never quite worked out for him did it
@@stephenbennett4265 Agree with a lot of what you say but bare in mind around the time of the Rome incident in 85 They'd already started the Dreamtime recording sessions with producer Laurie Latham & were under contractual agreement with Epic/CBS for another album so had to follow through on that They basically broke up after Dreamtime's release in 86 for the next 3 years (Hiatus) so it wasn't really 5 years after that incident. Burnel actually quit during the making of Aural Sculpture But was persuaded back by Cornwell. Why do you think Cornwell is bitter? I've met him plenty of times down through the years & he's always been amicable I just find Burnel Naïve & Chauvinistic an opportunist that has successfully managed to turn a lot of people against his former friend & colleague which i do not like about the guy imho for me they ceased being The Stranglers after August 1990 Both Cornwell & the so called Stranglers became 2 totally different artists there after ..And your right that Cornwell /Cooper Clarke Collab was an embarrassment to say the least.
This here is betrayal of the stranglers-heritage.. Sounds like a c-class-morning-pint-concert. Next step: Opening Act for a furniture store. So sad to see...
Hugh needs to re-join The stranglers, They sound shit without him. Loads of people would be happy, the band would make shitloads, it might be amazing, if it didn't work , so what, nothing would really be lost.

I love 'Skin Deep' - one of the best.
Cornwell sing better. His voice. More to deep,
THE BEST SINGER in The Stranglers what a voice and man
He's the original band singer, yer Nugget 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
@@Theoriginalbigbrillo I know man than it's the original singer ! You learn me nothing !...🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
El original, excelente...
Love the rawness of this
His voice sounds 30 years younger than his look. The singing biochemist👍
This man is a genius
The Stranglers Band are something else indeed. There music really helps me through my Anxiety and Depression on a daily basis. 👍
The ultimate tour would be The Stranglers combined with Midnight Oil
@@matthewgray469🤣
Only a couple of times I missed the keyboards! Great songs always carry themselves.
Hugh sounds amazing.
Even without the rest of the original band.. this works.
Loved the crowd noise, loved the drums, loved the wickedly, bright light and the occasional dissonance. Ragged, soulful guitar. No complaints here.
Great version.. 😊😊😊😊
This band are Exstreamly Absolutely Outstanding And Timeless And Timeless. CRAIG From the north of England.
Rough and raw - I like it!
Great performance , love the drums , really upbeat !!
this makes me feel both jubilant and kinda sad.
Great song!
Superb Hugh, really enjoyed this. Nice riff
Tremendous. What live music is all about.
Would ve LOVED to have seen this concert!!!Was away in Italy then for a month,ayah!
excellent! The reworking without the keyboards is great. Although I miss them, this is excellent!
Awesome !!!!!
Brilliant!!! Love his voice and songs since the 70s-
semi acoustic retirement version, with grandchildren. I'LL TAKE IT. Love it. Love some HC.
A Fender telecaster is not a semi acoustic
Am 29 and it’s 2021 the stranglers until I die will stop listening to the stranglers for ever a day of the stranglers
Mentalist
sounds quite fresh ,love this
A great performance, in the manner Hugh wrote it. I do miss the sequenced keyboards and the piano, but that was only the ear candy. Great song!
Ich auch. Gerade der Keyboardsound macht den Song so hörbar,
Got to agree! No-one plays key boards like Dave G!
I bet someone does
great stuff,see him live, if you want to hear the old stranglers, listen to a fkn record
Very nice new different version of this wonderful song !
I was at this gig 😊
ONE WORD
PHENOMENA
Hugh looks after that Black Telecaster well, 30+ years from Golden Brown to inside the walls of the Citadel in St Helens!
excellent!!!!
Ran into Hugh Cornwell and JJ Burnell at the Rainbow Theatre in London 1979 but i didn't know it was them. Brother in law says. Oh d'yknow 2 of the Stranglers were there? Wanted to wring is bloody neck don't ya know? Well it's all history now kids, whatever!
It's alright, I remember snippets of the late 1970's.
wish i was there...
bravo hugh
Saw them at Electric Palace Bridport this year. Bass player is a foxy minx.
....almost forgot...great version here...
Still awesome. STOP AWESOME. 👍🏽👍🏻🥰😎
great rock version by Hugh here, excellent and the bass player she is ace...
As looks go she's nothing special ! And technially as a bass player she's not fit to tune JJ's tuning pegs. Average at best , she should try turning it up so you can hear it .

Now watch the Stranglers do it properly
Yeah, you're right, I'm used to the old version, with Dave.G :)
What a performers.. O fuck🙌🙌🙌🙌🙌🙌🙌🙌🙌🙌

Too true mate, need a Dave imitator at least on this track.

I like it almost as much -raw baby
*@VivaZeBone* Thanks for the hint.....that sounded pretty good
👉🏼ua-cam.com/video/6vwVdPkbNDY/v-deo.html 👈🏼
The Telecaster Twangs sharp as a razorblade and Caz Campbell looks hotter than JJ Burnel. This version rocks!
Should've gone to Specsavers ! She's nothing special . Can't even hear her bass ? Orignal with keys and a bass you can hear is mich better .
Hugh is brilliant, but having just listened to the original ‘84 recording I thought half the band forgot to show up here. This man deserves far far better than this 6th former band backing him.
Loving these covers, sound just as good without the keyboards
As three pieces go, this one is nice and sweet
Hugh walked from one of the best rhythm sections of the 70s 80s , and of course he was part of that rhythm section. This, on the other hand is a rhythm section that isn't happening
Great live version, bassist is cute too
raw!
Quality..
The Bass guitar player reminds me of Baby Doll from the movie Sucker Punch 👍👍👍
I want à piano 🎹
He should have stuck with his buddies, time is brutal. It’s more brutal if you’re alone .
Well, we never goes on behind closed doors, why did the Beatles split,or Led Zep or the Beach Boys, we can only shake our heads ruefully and celebrate that with you tube we have previously un -aired material
@@matthewgray469 Sometimes you need to move on, but I wonder what would have been like if he hadn't left for the first place.
@@user-eb8mi3xi5f Not a lot...They're last 2 albums , Dreamtime & 10, musically were poor albums ! The rot had already set in something had to give .
J J, looks so beautiful these days. 😂🙏
Ah the real sound of the Stranglers, much better than the `pretend` version with nasty JJB!
They did share vocals in the Stranglers and there were keyboards, so technically your're wrong 🙄

how the mighty fall
That's a poor comment now...and it was seven years ago....when you write something as good as 'Skin Deep', mind and get back to me....
Not sure about JJB's sex change :-)
She looks nicer, not difficult, on a other side.
Better watch out...
get some keys in the line up mate , vocal sounding good
The stranglers have done pretty good since hugh left, but all their best stuff was made when he was in
Hugh you are no good without Dave G. Dave is top man x
Correction: Hugh is still Mr. "Strangler".
I only now seen he was here in St.Helens last year...would have loved to go to his gig!
Or JJ eh,,,
JJ who?
What is the point ?
This here is betrayal of the stranglers-heritage.. Sounds like a c-class-morning-pint-concert. Next step: Opening Act for a furniture store. So sad to see...
Prefer the Keyboards with this song ;)
Who's the cutie on the bass?
Caz Campbell
No synthesizer.
his voice sounds good still, but meh at the US accent creeping in
No
Odd sounding, can't put my finger on why ,,,,,,
nice bassist, crap tone though. Urrggh.
She playing the Drum intro originally on Conga Drums with an altered Bassline, might explain the tone.
No, it doesn't.
just sayin it's re-arranged, the 4 note JJB Bassline is gone and comes in after the intro well into the song, hardly recorded on a mixing desk either.
He knows all about bassists with "crap tone"!
Hugh needs to re-join The stranglers, They sound shit without him. Loads of people would be happy, the band would make shitloads, it might be amazing, if it didn't work , so what, nothing would really be lost.

tune your guitar man
Very bad
Awful. Give it up
