Not a big fan of the sanitized recorded version,but it takes on a life of it's own and is an absolute fucking barnstormer when played live,like when they smash it here.......fingers crossed indeedy!..

Sorry but Hurt will never make it out of first gear without Hooky.

Great track but need to choose something they can actually play.

Good point and well presented,Um Die lee,Um die Lah.

It always comes back to the gaping chasm of he whose name we shall not speak,the forever omnipresent Macbeth strikes again!

Procession.

And of course the sad thing is Hooky isn't playing bass much anymore in his current project. The bass is going to waste!

BASS BIN :)

This Time of Night -a gem

5-8-6

(Which is probably what he actually meant when he said a "new song")! :p

I voted Hurt. Because its ace.

an updated Hurt, much like the 586 rehash. hated Confusion from 98' shows. This time of night would be nice as well

586 was not tough to redo with the current lineup since there wasn't much of a bass line in it anyway. Hurt has both a synth bass plus Hooky's part; don't see them pulling that off with Chapman on bass. Same goes for This Time of Night (favorite version BBC 1984 BTW); the new bass player just isn't versatile enough to handle that.

Early in the morning

The Village!!! You can hear me shout this on the Swansea Mayfair 85 bootleg,i don't think my voice had even broken then

Any musician could tell you that Hooky's bass lines are brilliant sounding but not terribly difficult to play.

Not a criticism, as I value melody over virtuosity.

any bass player worth his salt can play those lines in Hurt

Leave me alone just pipped TLU

EGG or TBTHOG which would fit in nicely alongside 586 if its like the newer '98 arrangement.

I'll be convinced when young Chapman actually does it; his bass lines on Blue Monday made me cringe, and it's not even a favorite of mine. Perhaps another bass player besides Hooky could do it justice, but not the current one.

same here, im regularly shown videos of guitarists on youtube slashing and tapping very fast but ultimately its just noise to me and any arsehole can make noise on a guitar.

id like to see an updated version of everythings gone green but might not be what you expect with the extra guitarist

Cramp?? A slight English to Spanish mis-translation?

Thank goodness Barney keeps his shirt on these days

I'm voting for Leave Me Alone. The Mojo thingy has re-ignited my interest in that one.

JV wrote: any bass player worth his salt can play those lines in Hurt

Indeed, I've been playing bass for a week and I can play Hurt! Not to mention a large number of other Hooky basslines! Not a criticism, they sound great, they're just pretty simple.

Harsh in the extreme, I think Chapman's additional flourishes and extras sound fantastic in Blue Monday. In particular the bit at the start of the outro. Chapman's doing a good job, he's not trying to be a Carbon copy of Hooky, but neither is he trying to do anything radically different. He's getting the balance just right in my opinoin.

I agree. I worry that when I see them people will sart shouting out 'Hooky! Hooky!' it must be a difficult situation for Chapman.

Anyway, Vanshing Point is a must, even though I voted for Hurt cos of the limited options (kinda like US politics) and after seeing that video.

Or Slow Jam. :)

Hooky said, as a criticism, that they used bass synths instead of copying his bass playing, thou I don't know what song he was talking about. But this would be a good idea to get a little creative, why not, and avoid the direct comparison. The "586" tweak is cool, have fun with some more old tracks.

The top 8 votes would all be interesing. "Face Up" would be hard to imagine, but hey, give it a shot. "Run" should get a revival also.

gotta be Sunrise for me, the track emits pure energy from start to finish. can imagine just leaping into the air when the drums kick in after the bassline intro. its also got a great end, just hear Barney's guitar finishing it off superbly.

here's hoping see ya'll in Manc - Thursday... 1st time too, and im 38!

I like walking in the park...

The song that made me a New Order fan in the mid 80's, SUBCULTURE

Nice choice Julio,first heard it live back in Blackburn 85 with the yoof, you gonna come over and party in april/may or sticking to walking in the park,, walking in Trafford park could be fun for you

You realise you cant shaft without someone else

To contradict what I said previously, only Hooky could pull this one off. I can't see Tom attacking the song the way Hooky does live.

Fuck BEZ , Daz is the real deal

for me its either either

TBHOG hurt round and round this time of night as it is when it was.

OK checked bank account not as bad as I feared so IN for Brixton Thursday! Had to check our brilliant website to remember setlists for gigs I have been to: getting old, was wrecked etc. So never heard songs for me I want to hear: Vanishing Point, Mr Disco or Chemical please. Last one totally unlikely cue cheers but I love that song :)

Yes, that's the difference, Hooky attacks the bass lines.

Leave Me Alone, Lonesome Tonight would be a very close second.

I was actually thinking the other day how nice it'd be if they did Procession, since Gillian's back in the band. And lol at Dreams Never End

I'd pay a lot to see Barney sing Dreams Never End!

'WELSHCAKE' wrote: The Village!!! You can hear me shout this on the Swansea Mayfair 85 bootleg,i don't think my voice had even broken then

I second this recommendation. Been listening to PC&L and The Village sounds better every time. Tom Chapman actually would do just fine on bass, and Phil would love playing the guitar part that Barney originally played. And Gillian would play fantastic synths, as always.

I love Leave Me Alone but live I'd rather hear Face Up. It's ripe for an update.

I am pleasantly surprised that leave me alone is topping the list:)

Almost that whole list would make a welcome setlist.Almost.

So,seperating the wheat from the chaff,bin - Denial,Senses,Chosen Time,chalk them up as utter drab shit and go with what's left,chucking in the obligatory Barn Burner 'Temptation' in their nauseating place. Voila!

Senses aswell.Ditch that dirge...Last name on the teamsheet.Playing Left-back....left back in the fucking changing rooms.

Touched By The Hand of God is toss too,bin that....Infact just come out say "Hi,we're New Order...." do Vanishing Point then fucking hop it! Job's right!

Which would wind Hooky up more, Gillian or Chappy singing it?

another vote for LMA.

You didn't see them circa 83 then when those tracks were the backbone of most gigs, lets face it MOVEMENT is there best LP by a country mile :)
