If NO to do a cover.....

Well, if New Order were to do a cover, which song do you think will suit them...and also which song you think you'll like them to do.. I think the only cover I'm aware of is VU's Sister Ray, live.

I think NO suit playing U2's Stay ( Faraway, so Close ) and of course numerous Cure's numbers.

I like to see NO play Hot Chocolate's Emma, at least Hooky wouldn't need to learn anything.....

The Blisters of Percy used to do Emma back in the early-mid 80s. Improved the somg considerably IMHO.

New Order have also covered "Do The Ostrich" by the Velvets, again live, and once encored with "Anarchy in the UK", at the Greek Theatre, Berkeley, California. They did "When I'm With You" by Sparks at Milan in 1982.

I'd like to see them do a cover of a Joy Division song. That would be a novel idea. Maybe Incubation.

Uh? New Order have covered Joy Division songs for years! LWTUA, Isolation, Transmission, Atmosphere... This is no novel idea at all!

New Order should cover.....

.......

....... sigh ........

....... Robbie Williams' The Road To Mandalay !!!

....... :D

They should cover a bloody STEPS song - just to get their own back at those twats threatening to do "Blue Monday"

Now that may be a bit difficult for men in 40's...having to learn all those boy/grrl/boy-grrl band's dance routine.

Unless they get Paula Abdul on to help.....

But imagine the video, TBTHOG pisstake style, it would be hilarious...

Well, it would be especially funny with Stephen and Hooky. I mean, with Barney, we're already used to crazy dance routines !

i would say...

The Smashing Pumpkins - Perfect

or

The Smashing Pumpkins - 1979

They should cover 'Sylvia's Mother' by Dr Hook.

Oh, yeah...I forgot. The Pumpkins!! How about the entire Machina!! I really thought it was NO-sounding...in fact it's probably Gary Numan fronting Hooky & Stephen...Billy & Barney has gone to the pub.

Irony mate :)

I hate them doing JD stuff every other song these days. It used to be a real treat years back, now it's completely different, sort of cheapens the old memories to me.

The Cure's "BOYS DON'T CRY"

I've always thought that was a New Order'ish tune.

know what you mean............. They have the right to play'em......coz they wrote'em,but without Curtis they don't have the same desperation.

Christ...... Bernard is slaughtering Transmission.

Oh god....think of all the others that remind you of New Order OR vice versa: Just Like Heaven, Inbetween Days!, A Forest, Plainsong, Faith, The Walk.......

I AGREE!!!!

I'm sorry, personally i suffer from a huge Cure-o-fobia.I can't see the comparison. Burt i would like to hear them cover Some Neil Young songs, f.i. Like a hurricane! Or what about the wonderful(i think produced by A. Baker) Freeez-IOU!!!

I saw the Mission (no, before you ask, I didn't actually pay for the ticket :)) do Like a Hurricane live. Completely killed a song I used to like.

Pretty Vacant-Sex Pistols Heroin-VU Modern World or Roadrunner-J. Richman Hang on to Yourself, Heroes, or Sound and Vision-Bowie

Voodoo Ray would be spendid by the Order. Plus, no lyrics for Barney to fuck up just some ooohs and aaahs from Gillian!
