In Aberdeen, on the Feline tour in the 80s, some punter made the mistake of getting onstage and dancing beside Burnel during No More Heroes. I remember the bass coming off, a violent commotion moving to offstage, and no more dancing punter. Nobody else clambered onstage after that...

I did see a bit of 'Stranglers retribution' once , after some gobbing by an ill informed audience member the' fan ' was hauled onstage where JJ & Hugh gave him a spanking , followed by an attempt to insert a banana .... the ex ? fan wasn't happy after the event & looked like he would square up ...but decided trying to get off the stage with what dignity was left being the best choice.

@@Rockstardust69 Well you would have to pay several hundred £s for a spanking & banana dessert in some clubs nowadays ! But seriously the spitting was one of the less enjoyable aspects around the punk scene.... Regarding the JJ/ Paul Simonon stand off - I think this may have been at the Ramones 2nd UK gig (5- July '76) as the previous evening the Clash made their 'official debut' supporting the Pistols in Sheffield . & I can't think of any dates they were on the same bill . (Though Joe Strummer did know Hugh quite well from his days playing pubs with 101ers ) Most of the 2 groups (& Sid Vicious) went to Ramones 2nd night & spent much of the day hanging around the venue ( there are photos of Paul & others with the Ramones outside the venue) - the Stranglers connection being they were the support band at the Roundhouse gigs .

It's like marmite this album. You either hate it or love it. Personally, I think it's a work of genius, years ahead of it's time. The X-Files covered all the subject matter later and was lauded the world over. Just brilliant. It hangs together. Not perfect but not far off.

I was at the Red Cow when JJ laid into Jon Savage. I was playing there with a band called The Soft Boys. (At the time we were on the same label as Elvis and Nick Lowe) We were setting up and Nick Lowe was about to buy a few of us a pint when it all kicked off. After things settled down we never did get that pint, slthough the gig wad a cracker.

When I bought the album in 1980 I didn't really know what to think, other than this was something that needed listening to over and over. The pre-digital production is unbelievable. I recall a critic at the time without a hint of irony bemoaning the fact that Dave's playing on Second Coming was out of tune! They had no idea how hard that was to do - yet alone replicate live. What a band. 8:24

JJ Burnel - The Karate Kid of Rock! Interesting upload - his sound reminds me of the sound Phil Lynott used to get out of his Fender Precision bass guitar. Incidentally, he apparently got his famous, early, bass sound because, unbeknownst to him and the record producers, his bass amplifier was busted and damaged, distorting the sound through the mixing desk! Thanks for uploading.

@@Rockstardust69 He did a kind of Karate kick when playing bass the times that I saw The Stranglers live. Apparently, he was a pretty accomplished classical guitarist too, which is how he got into music in the first place - bass guitar was definitely his bag though, and that bass sound on their first three albums is both fantastic and unique. How a real bass guitar should sound.

@@markdoughty8780 Yes. So many bass guitarists just played the equivalent note of whichever chord the rhythm guitarist was playing.
