In their own words, this revealing documentary told by every member of The Stranglers' past and present, provides a unique, personal, and candid insight into being in one of the most seminal bands of the last five decades. Produced between 1992 and 2001 on the road with the band and in their homes, it remains the most authentic and honest biography of the band's career. More than a podcast, it revisits individual members at intervals in the band's history, editing topics as though they had been gathered in the same room.

Documentary content / sections:

Leaving EMI
Less Touring, More Dreamtime
Hugh Leaves
I’m Your New Singer
A Late Coming Of Age
5 Go Mad In Disney
And finally, and now…

Dave Mason wishes to thank;
Jet Black, Dave Greenfield, JJ Burnel, Hugh Cornwell, Paul Roberts, John Ellis, Baz Warne, Marian Shepherd, Sil Willcox, Gary Knighton, Simon J Webb.

    How have I missed this gem for nigh on a year? Excellent stuff. This is the most I've heard from Dave which is a bitter sweet experience. RIP Dave.

    Bravo Dave Mason! An epic historical reference point for one of Britain's best ever bands.

    Brilliant. Nice to hear a balanced account from everybody that was involved.

    I've been a fan for 30+ years and have met some members of the band, attended a Christmas party, photographed a convention and some of their gigs but I learned so much about the band after listening to your interview. Brilliant! Thank you.

    Es indiscutible que los primeros IV llegaron lejos e hicieron las mejores canciones. Hacian un gran equipo que parece perdieron la ilusion de sseguir haciendo juntos grandes albumes. Ahora todo se complica sin Dave, insustituible.

    I always thought they where finished when they came out after AC/DC at The Who concert at Wembley in 79. They started doing songs from the Raven witch had only come out that day so no-one knew them. Even the Finchley boys where throwing peaches at them. 4th song in Hugh went over to JJ said something in his ear JJ went to jet and Hugh went to Dave the song stopped and they went in to Tank.

    When i saw a copy of thé DVD of them live at the Royal fuckin Albert Hall, I said to myself "What the fuuuck?!!" and although I was really not a fan of that particular line-up, I just had to buy it, for my Stranglers collection. I really don't like it, i thought it was terrible, i could'nt understand why thé fuck they did that, with an Orchestra and dressed up like that, but oh well, they did it. I've tried watching it 3 or 4 times but I just can't. I just think that was a really Bad Mistake, but obviously some fans think it's great. Such a terrible thing wouldnt stop me from still loving them as much as I do. Long Live The Stranglers 🖤 (Rest in Peace, Dave Greenfield, you will live on forever in the hearts of us fans😔)

    I just wanna say, I havent got anything against Paul, he sounds like a good bloke and really aimiable or amiable (?!), but I just didnt like that era... Except for "Big Thing Coming", I really love that track. 😉
  • @tago69mago
    Hated them when they were a 5 piece. Didnt work for me. Really like the band since Baz joined though.
  • @paulschnyder938
    They have never been as good without Hugh. His songs were great
  • @seawolf6709
    Hugh Cornwell thinks he's better than the stranglers
