Slogans on Hooky's Bass Stack

The first I can remember was " Guitar Nero".

Can anyone help compile a list, with;

1. Slogan
2. Venue
3. Relevance of Slogan

A list of various things people have noticed written on the speaker stacks during New Order's and related's concerts:

89 Technique Tour

David Hibell reports "they changed every day in the uk tour this year, heaven & hell, salford rules apples pears etc - others will know more & doubtless advise. He also reports what appeared during the Reading Festival.

* 890825 Reading Festival --- SALFORD RULES

93 Republic Tour

Mick Aneworderfan digs up a message from ceremony@frontios.niagara.edu.

* 930729 World Music Theatre - Chicago (area), Illinois --- BASS HOWLOO CANUGO

Nick King thinks he remembers seeing this during Reading '93.

* 930829 Reading Festival - Reading, England --- FREE JEFF THE CHEF!

90-97 Revenge/Monaco

* 900904 Cologne (Revenge) --- FREE JEFF THE CHEF! * 970920 Astoria, London (Monaco) --- FATTY

01 Get Ready AreaOne dates

Al Jarvis says SALFORD RULES was featured on all the US dates.

01 Get Ready UK dates

Also reported by Al Jarvis.

* 011007 Barrowlands, Glasgow * 011008 Barrowlands, Glasgow --- APPLY WITHIN

Don't know if these appeared in series on each date or all at once for all three. Mark Dingham suggests these may have changed during the performance, as he also recalls HAPPY BIRTHDAY JESSICA but when he looked again, it had changed to something else. David Hibell spotted VINYL PSYCHOSIS during the 011011 gig; Al Jarvis (among others) the rest.

* 011010 Brixton Academy, London --- APPLES PEARS * 011011 Brixton Academy, London --- HEAVEN HELL * 011011 Brixton Academy, London --- VINYL PSYCHOSIS * 011012 Brixton Academy, London --- HAPPY BIRTHDAY JESSICA

01 Get Ready European dates

Mark Harding and Sabine's Lover confirmed these.

* 011111 Olympia, Paris --- VIVA SALFORD * 011112 Olympia, Paris --- VIVA SALFORD

Roland Metzer reports this was "In remembrance of Germany's 1-5 loss to England during the world cup qualifyer in Munich...". Mark Harding reports this was written in German...

* 011115 Columbiahalle, Berlin --- FUNF EINS

(umlaut on the u) [means FIVE ONE]

Thanks to the webcast...

* 011116 Palladium, Cologne --- SALFORD RULES

Another one reported by Al Jarvis.

* 011118 Cirkus, Stockholm --- LIVING LEGEND

02 Assorted Dates

2002 dates:

From Billboard review, reported by Charles Pham.

* 020609 Finsbury Park, London * BYE BYE DEE DEE

Lars Nellemann originally reported this as "R.I.P The O", but Al Jarvis later sent in a correction, though he wasn't sure about the BYE BYE part.

* 020629 Rokslide, Denmark --- BYE BYE THE OX

XX Assorted memories

Al Jarvis adds:

"Hooky always used to have a Death's Head on his speakers in the good ol' days.

Personal favourites were GUITAR NERO (yes, Nero, not Hero) and BASS HOW LOW CAN U GO? (Jonathan Scott, did a High School in Glasgow REALLY get vandelised with that graffiti?)"

Super User reports:

"Another old one was 'GAY SPUNK' which is from 1985 or so."

It wasn't "Gay Spunk" but "Gay Sperm", and this wasn't Hooky graffiti, it was the name of the company they had hired the backline from on a couple of 1984 dates. Solitude's photos show this clearly I think.

Cheers Guy's keep em coming

Evenin Rocket, Dave , Al and Tim

"Nick King thinks he remembers seeing this during Reading '93.

930829 Reading Festival - Reading, England --- FREE JEFF THE CHEF!"

It isn't really this

I watched the DVD and it doesn't show this

I'll make the correction then. I bet this was a transcription error on my part when editing this, using the previous entry as a template and not updating it, rather than Nick being mistaken.

And I am not talking about Reading 89 or 98

Mike

Confirm this cause my DVD didn't come back home yet mate ;)

It has been known! :D

I'm sure I saw "JEFF THE CHEF" somewhere - could be Reading 89 instead...? (My memory's terrible nowadays)!

l8rs,

Nick ;)

LOW, not LOO! Heaven forbid!

Correct. It's a Public Enemy reference.

"Bass! How low can you go? Death row, what a brother know."

LOW, not LOO! Heaven forbid!

Haha, I kinda liked "HOWLOO", but I've corrected it.

(off to the LOO!)
