Hi All
I'm new to all this and thought I'd better say hello.
As a little topic idea who at present would you like to support NO, and why?
I think mine would be a little strange, and go for Belle and Sebastian 'cos they at least have some tunes.
Any offers?
Cheers Jon
Welcome Jonathan.
Not any of the current drivel, but a reformed Cocteau Twins would be good.
Hi Jonathan. I'm fairly new myself, but I registered awhile ago. I haven't been on the boards in half a year.
I don't know how old this post is.:(
Welcome, Jonathan! I'd like to see International supporting New Order, I think they're one of the best bands ever... 
Welcome Jonathan. Don't let anyone hussle you!
My ultimate gig would have to be The Chameleons supporting New Order. I think I would piss my pants and more...
Interpol would be awesome too and appropriate. Interpol rule!!

I'll second that, but it has to be the later Fraser/Guthrie/Raymonde line up, and not the original with Heggie in place of Raymonde...
Welcome!!!
I'd like to see The Smiths open but that aint gonna happen. So....i'll take Underworld...but i'd have New Order open for Underworld with a Dj set from Andrew Weatherall to follow.
Now Make It Happen!!!
Greeting Jonathan, nice to have another person here.
Heck, today I'll go with Stereolab, to see if a certain Martian would drop in on us earthlings. :)
Welcome Jonhatan. I've been lucky enough to see New Order supported by Doves and Gabrielles Wish, so I couldn't ask more... well, maybe the Pixies, while reforming, could co-headline the bill... :)
Virginal, huh? We won't hurt you too badly. Feel free to wipe it on the sheets. You can cry afterward if you want.
And the answer is: The Cure. A nice, long, low-energy (read: boring) set of whiney music right before NO comes onstage and busts the fuck out some mad beats (as they say in California).
welcome to the new fellow...
how about Hybrid opening for the order...might be interesting?!?!?!
Well g'day sir and welcome to the atrophy excision.
Ideal support for me would be Stockholm Monsters or ACR, not least because that would transport us back to 1985 ! Probably The Fall, of those bands currently available.
Probably some of the groups people wanted have already appeared with New Order re 08.02.1986. What a night..

Been a lot better if they'd turned it into a full day event, and not truncated the sets to 40 minutes each.

From what I can remember I don't think Bernard could have lasted any longer than 40 minutes! Which leads me to a question. Did The Smiths ever appear with NO before or after the aforementioned gig?

Question is now: whose alter-ego are you? 
There's only actually four people here and we all post under multiple personalities.
I'm rubbish at support bands. Even bands I quite like who've supported New Order usually get ignored so as to maximum bar time. A nice 'wind-down' act after the event would be better, like with Underworld at the New Year gigs in 98, or I've seen the Grid follow New Order too..
I'm stuck in retro land so I would take any of the below as a support: Psychedelic Furs Chameleons Orange Juice The Wake Chameleons Cocteau Twins Bunymen Chameleons Gang Of Four Section 25 Chameleons Josef K Crispy Ambulance Chameleons Scientists
[bitter]I'd like to have seen Garbage supporting New Order like they fucking well should have been at Reading 98 and not the other way round.[/bitter]
Seriously though, and being biased too :) from current bands, Goldfrapp.

The Chameleons it is then! Or Invincible or The Sun And The moon.

Hey, I seriously think having Stuart & Co. supporting is a very good idea.
Belle & Sebastian is one of the most refreshing acts to come into the pop music world in the last 5 years ( well...I only got to know them when the 'Boy Arab Strap' album came out.... )
I've got their DVD - 'For Fans Only' and I think New Order should put out a DVD like that....the set up of the DVD allows the viewer to watch the clips either chronologically or randomly with tales and vignettes in-between, all woven together like a long story...EXCELLENT.
...unfortunately, they've lost 2 crucial members - the other Stuart to LOOPER & the ever so sweet & sexy Isobel...:(
