Joy Division / New Order thread

[BlueMoonday]

Remarkable that's only a B side. The extended mix of the A side is my fave all time New Order tune. I wish they would start playing it live again.

Agreed, I bought this on vinyl purely for the b side.

I remember taping this off the radio way back.....

Went to watch them at Piece Hall, Halifax last night and it was an incredible gig by and incredible band. Still sound as fresh as when I saw them for the first time at the festival of 10th summer back in 1986. Hooky isn't missed.

With England playing it actually got my questioning if I'd ever been to a gig when City are playing. Answer was no but quite a few after the match. Even been to a few gigs after a night game at Maine Road.

I fuckin loved it tonight. I didn't recognise many tunes and I'm no way a big fan, but I know what I know and really enjoyed it. The atmosphere around me and my mates was top and thought the sound system was great.
True Faith mixing into Blue Monday, what can go wrong with that. And finishing off with Love will tear us apart, and singing your heart out without singing City or utd songs to it and just appreciating it for what it actually is, was wonderful.

Edit* Some really good visuals too, not just the mint lasers etc but some poignant pictures of Ian Curtis.

I've heard Bernard Sumner is worse than Ian Brown for singing live, how did he sound to you?

Bernard has never been the strongest singer. However, he is still a million times better than Ian Brown live!

Never forget an interview with Hook and when asked about Man City he compared us to a tramp down an alley who finds a wad of cash. In other words classless. At least Hucknall has said it’s healthy for Manchester to have two strong teams and he welcomed it.
Personally I like to separate football from music - otherwise you’d find a reason not to like anyone

I don't think the current members of NO are interested in football. Bernard is too arty, Steve & Gillian are too busy playing happy families, Tom is French so has no Manchester football affiliations & Phil is a hardcore muso who also loves his real ale!

I'm still buzzing this morning. Phenomenal gig.

Peter Hook's a wanker, attained low level fame and thinks he's up there with The Beatles and The Stones, 'delusions of grandeur' doesn't do him justice, the chubby little prick.

Was it?

Been into the since 83 but stopped going to see them after I realised I’d stopped enjoying it. Think the last one was Blackpool or Liverpool about 10-15 years ago and Barney had an autocue and was doing banter between the songs. I watched the Glasto gig on telly and had to turn it off. He sounded awful. Not awful like in tbe 89s when it was part of the appeal but just awful full stop.

But loads of my mates went last night and they are all raving about it. Maybe I’m just a moaning twat and I should have gone after all.

The only “member” of New Order who cared about football was Rob who followed City home and away.

Massive crowd and great vibe. No pissing about by Barney, just straight up have that tunes. Sorry to say Dave but you did miss a treat, best i've ever seen them.

agreed, considering only 2nd gig in 18 months, I thought they were excellent. Hot Chip were also very good.

There's a reason the song the rest of the band wrote about Hooky was called "Plastic". "You don't mean nothing, baby. You're superficial".

Can’t have been better than Warrington Spectrum arena in 1985 where it was 60p a pint, my mates brother gave me my fist dab of whizz and there was a big off between Manchester and Liverpool.

Missed everybody else. I strolled over from the Ostrich just as NO came on.

In other words, we're Del and they're Boycie. I'll take that.

 

[burnley blue mcfc]

One of my all time fav bands, i must have got unlucky, seen them live four times and they were terrible every time with their “cant be arsed attitude”
