Wheres that "on topic" smilie when you need it? :evil4:

30 Jun 2004, 16:55

20 plus years here. Don't feel old though. :)

30 Jun 2004, 17:21

I'm a wee bit confused...they got the new name in 1984????

30 Jun 2004, 18:25

1980, wasn't it? After Joy Division folded?

I just got into New Order, like, last month.

30 Jun 2004, 18:51

New Order are Joy Division. Though there's a difference or 2.

30 Jun 2004, 18:54

I know. But after they dropped the name "Joy Division", they officially became New Order in, I believe, 1980.

30 Jun 2004, 20:54

I went for the 4-7 years since I REALLY got into them in about 2000.

30 Jun 2004, 23:20

1986/87 for me so i voted for 17-20 years! you dont get that for murder in this country these days! :nuts:

30 Jun 2004, 23:33

30 Jun 2004, 23:59

1994

True Faith 94

1 Jul 2004, 01:35

i´ve been a fan for 18 years and counting!

1 Jul 2004, 02:35

JD fan since 1978!

1 Jul 2004, 02:57

20 years for me.

A further poll question could be: how many of the 20+ fans completely lost interest between, say, '90 and '93 (extend this to early '98 if you will), writing the band off as a bland parody of its former self?

1 Jul 2004, 03:05

21 years. Fuck me, I'm old. (That's a statement, not a request!)

1 Jul 2004, 03:15

37 years! It was great listening to the sounds Barney and Hooky made whilst being beaten by the maths teachers pump.

Blue Monday was released that month.

I'll raise you.....from March 89 to 1993, then very quickly again from the closing credits of TOTP Baywatch to Brixton 2001. That's almost as long away as home.

Yeah the month that BM was released. I'd heard Temptation previously but didn't know who recorded it then BM popped up. I was quite gutted to learn they had played The State twice no less the same month.

1 Jul 2004, 03:50

I think they played the State two weeks after Blue Monday was released.....

1 Jul 2004, 04:03

22ND AND 23RD Of March

I know this cos somebody sent me both shows on CD not long ago.

Cheers to whoever that was - ma memory is gash :karate:

Back onto the subject started by Jan - how d'ya think I felt matey, just got into the Order and they split up for 4 years, then when they do comeback they split up again almost straight away for another 5 years. With Celtic going 9 years without a league title and hardly any New Order it's amazing I turned out as normal as I am:D

I don't think they'd have let me in. I was 14.

I cannot accept this award. :cry: In truth it would have been 1987 at the time of TF. Although I cannot narrow it down to a particular day I do know the exact spot where it happened. It was while waiting to turn right at the traffic lights on Angouleme Way into Haymarket in Bury. I then immediately drove past the Derby Hall, the scene of the JD riot.

I had no chance then. A mere 13. First went in '85 around the time Letter To Brezhnev was being filmed.

1 Jul 2004, 05:24

23 years and counting...

I've never been, got as far as the queue one time. Seem to recall is was about a tenner to get in and one or more of our party flinched, it was excessive for the time.

Same here although I did hear Temptation and Atmosphere before then and quite liked them but Blue Monday was the one that caused me to start purchasing.

1 Jul 2004, 08:43

Crimony, you guys are old. :D Seriously, I wish I'd been alive when BM was first released, just to witness the impact it had on the dance scene. That, and 1983 was a great year for music.

Born in the wrong bloody decade....

I had a Scouse mate I used to work with years back.

He was a couple of years younger than me and had said he'd seen NO in Liverpool. Always assumed it was the Royal Court thing, but then one day it came out it was the State. I was, like, how old were you? And he just went, twelve!

Imagine a twelve year old at such a gig now? Beggars belief!

1 Jul 2004, 09:30

Tried to get tickets for Indians In Moscow around that time, at I think The Bier Kellar. They weren't having any of it. I was gutted as the singer was fit with a very ample bussom.

1 Jul 2004, 09:37

Speaking of Liverpool gigs, I used to have one on tape. Lost it years ago, it had loads of er, politcally incorrect songs targeted towards Manchester United. Anyone know which one it was?

1 Jul 2004, 09:49

The Blue Monday Youth.
