TALKING of NEW ORDER

Without this site, I would never have learned of the Cure.

:D

This site is class, and has enhanced my appreciation of the band. Up until I caught up with the rest of the planet & got internet access (late 2002) my knowledge of the band was limited to their songs & names. This was also one of the first sites I logged onto, having found it through a Google search on my mobile phone long before I invested in a PC. The media section is unreal. Through NOOL I also got into Joy Division, albeit much more gradually than NO, which was pretty much instant. Best of all I can log on & read about the band, read peoples' opinions & experiences of them etc., which is great because I don't actually know any other NO/JD fans. (All my family/friends' taste in music is shite, mine's perfect.:D) Usually get the "weird/depressing(?)" assessment from people, although I think 1 or 2 mates may be slowly seeing the light. Obviously New Order won't go on forever, unlike Barney's waistline, ;) but even if the next album was to be the last, and if they all decided to call it quits, I hope NOOL will continue.

So....

NOOL =

yeah. if it wasnt for this site, id still think here to stay was shite. but i like it now.apart from the information part of it (there should be some sort of an online effort at writing the definative,nerdy online book), its nice to hear others views on new order. there are some people out there who think the flip side of republic is good!!!! BCD is good too. being one of 3 fans in ireland can be a bit wierd , so its nice to know that there are others out there. id proberbally listen to new order 70% of the time, were i posting here or not. its good to get others negative views on neworder too. new order are my favourite group,but i still think shellshock is shite

this site has got me into new order even more! (although i dont get to listen to them much!) its a brilliant place to come and post with like minded people. yes we all get a bit negative when they dont release new stuff,we do slag them off from time to time,in my eyes new order are a unique band,they do things when and how they want and don't mind if they ruffle a few peoples feathers on the way! this has got to be the best new order site for anything a person (and lay person) needs to know about new order. the things i've learnt over the last few years is unbelieveable. questions are usually answered straight away by many fantastic new order fans who know what they are talking about. there are some genuine new order proffesors on this site (rocket mick,old blue to name but a few!)always know the answers to any questions, and willing to help any waifs and strays that end up on our fantastic forum ! I thought i new quite a bit about new order,I WAS WRONG! The stuff i new about was'nt worth knowing,i came and you showed me the way! thanks to all the people who have helped and contributed to my obbsession over the last few years. may this site continue to be the best new order site for many years !

regards p.s i hope they release something new soon!
