New Order fans?

@larsman,

Me too.

For me the Joy Division / New Order is a bit like the The Beatles / solo years.

Whichever way I look at it, it’s a bit of a come down.

Temptation was a great single though.

The falling out between Hooky and Barney, not so great.

I still don’t understand it, but Peter Hook always comes across as a great bloke.

@larsman,

I caught their one-off show online a short while back.

I began watching tentatively and was surprised to find myself soon gripped and immersed in the music.

What could easily have been an embarrassment ended up being a spectacular.

Real life affirming stuff from Hooky.

@dvddesigner ,

24 Hour Party People might be the best thing Steve Coogan has done. Ok, his Stan Laurel was pretty good too!

Anyway, the late Tony Wilson is still much missed.

Perhaps he was the nearest thing we had to a maverick British version of the great Joe Boyd.

The back story of Joy Division/New Order is certainly a fascinating one.

It has to be with characters such as Tony Wilson, Rob Gretton and eccentric producer Martin Hannett amongst the cast.
