No More Hero Anymore...

Sad news of the passing of the legendary Stranglers keyboard player Dave Greenfield from the virus.
One of my all time favourite bands.

Oh no - that is sad. I was a great fan.....saw the Stranglers at Kings College in London in 1976. I was a fresh faced undergraduate and mighty impressed with them.

RIP

Sad news indeed.

Saw them most recently at Manchester Apollo about three years ago. Still going great and like @ianrauk one of my favourite bands. I was only washing up to "Go Buddy Go" a few days ago

Very sad news. I've been a admirer since Rattus Norvegicus. We had tickets to see them in Brixton in November at the end of their final tour.
RIP.

Mate of mine is nuts for the stranglers. He'll be in mourning.

 

[Brandane]

Very sad .
My first ever concert was the Stranglers in Osaka, Japan. October 1978 or thereabouts, at the time I was a spotty 16 year old apprentice Deck Officer in the Merchant Navy with P&O.. Great days and fantastic memories. Thanks Dave and the rest of the band; legends.

He's pretty good on this one.... Strange Little Girl.

Another gone....

That’s sad, one of my fave bands in the olden days, saw them at Canterbury Odeon.

Someone on FB linked their version of Walk On By , which reminded me I have the album and the free off white single that came with it on which that track was released. I just dug it out. I don’t think I’ve played it in forty years.

Edit: on second thoughts the single was white I think it has discoloured over the last 42 years.

How sad!

I posted the same video HERE on Sunday, when looking back to a Stranglers gig in 1977.

RIP.

Sad news. I remember buying the double A side Peaches and Go Buddy Go,probably about July 1977. I made my own No More Heroes badge out of a 'poppy appeal' poppy and a cut out of the words from a single sleeve then varnished over,when me and my two mates were the 'only punk rockers in town'.

My favourite Stranglers song.
