Joy Division / New Order thread

Made the mistake of watching a few minutes. It was awful. Barney’s vocals had been tuned but it made them sound even worse. His voice was never about being in tune, but it was about sounding passionate and straining to hit the notes. Now he just mumbles and grunts in the same downbeat key all the time.

Haha I recorded it to watch at a later date but might not bother after that review!

Turn the vision off and listen then ;)

....and imagine THAT bass sound? Nah...I'll just stick to older clips on Youtube.

Up, down, turn around
Please dont let me hit the ground

Tonight I think I’ll walk alone,
I’ll find my soul as I go home.

Tonight I think I’ll walk alone,
I’ll find my soul as I go home.

Oooooooo oooooooooo oooooooooo
Ooooooooooo

It was much too slick for me. Longed for the days of 40 minutes and no encore. Not enough long slung bass work either. Ultraviolence and Your Silent Face were great though

Couldn’t agree more. Barney angry and coked up, not saying a word apart from the odd Woop. Maybe a shambolic version of Sister Ray for an encore.

The Live at Reading gig on dvd has a brilliant 1981 gig at the Shevchenko club New York

I was at that gig, was a good night. Was literally the start of my life being flipped upside down though.

Probably the most underrated New Order song:
