| Jean Jaques Burnel - The Stranglers |
 |
| 'Stud of the Year' was the headline in this NME centrefold back in X-mas 1977 JJ Burnel is the tough, rough, looking stud in the dirty old men band, The Stanglers. He was more infamous for his brutal journalistic beatings than the girls. But he had more than his fair share of Choosie Suzys not doubt. His bassplaying skills are second to none in the punk scene and this punk was a black belt in karate too. So any gobbing by the punks soon got sorted in their live sets. Still playing bass to this day in The Stranglers and still the biggest crowd puller of the band when old favourites like 'Something Better Change' and '5 minutes' are aired!
