NewOrder are ignoring the United States — Forum Archive

Hey everyone,

I have just come to the realization that NewOrder and the gang are going to ignore their HUGE fanbase in the U.S.!!! I cannot believe that they wouldn't want to support their album in our country...For goodness sakes!...they are even making an "out of the way" trip to Australia!!!

What do they have against our country?? I am really thinking of boycotting listening to their cd's for a good 5 or 6 hours, in protest!!!

Has anyone heard why they won't come to America?? Just wondering...I am getting more and more pessimistic by the minute. Very depressing.

Rob - they played a few gigs there last year - so I wouldn't say they're anti-american - they just pick up too many bad habits while they're over there :lol:

BTW - what the fuck happened to George Dubya? What's this story about him and a pretzel? sounds like a load of bollocks to me mate - he was either doing a bad impression of Boris Yeltsin and getting pissed - or somebody's gubbed him one - call me cynical if you must :lol:

Prince Harry just left my place with MsJane + Mad Dog 20/20 and we were pissing ourselves laughing at the scum we have leading our nation into the 3rd World War. Watching Football (pansy ass american football) and eating pretzels in the white house. The world is going up in flames and this asshole sits choking on pretzels. Here's a tip, CHEW YOUR FOOD BEFORE YOU SWALLOW.

NEWORDER --- There was mention of a brief tour in April so we should keep our fingers crossed and maybe go out and buy a copy of the CD for a friend in need to boost sales.

Let's say that the "events" in September might have been a cause of many things...

Nah, pretzel abuse is endemic in our society, going back to the 1800's...okay I'm bullshitting, but I about died laughing when I heard that. It's great when the leader of the free world becomes the reincarnation of Gerald Ford.

As for Prince Harry, the whole fucking royal family thing is outdated and just plain wrong. They're figureheads every last inbreed one of 'em, nothing violent but do get rid of them. Make Elizabeth II retire, she's never done a damn thing for the UK.

Unbelievable, even my 3,5 year old daughter knows she's got to chew the damn things first! Make you think what kind of stupid idiot you guys got for a president :lol: Prince Harry, great one mate, all the dutch royal family can do , is getting their drivinglicences taken for speeding. Or marry the daughters of guys who supported dictatorial systems!!Fucking wankers the lot of them.

Funniest thing I heard about that: Dave Letterman last night, "Homeland Security Director Tom Ridge has issued an all-points bulletin for Mr. Salty." :lol: :lol: :lol:

Prince Harry should become king of the Netherlands!!!

Here's an example! Go on mate (oops ausielang).

Keep up the good work! This is a prince who knows his inhabitants, drinking, smoking (and probably some other things that I shall not mention, afraid of being arrested for saying the same)

Hey Rob, New Order visited last year the USA for several concerts. And please keep in mind that during all those years (long long time ago) when they did not come to the continent of Europe anymore they also regularly visited the US of A.

But I hope all the best for you. And for myself I hope they will do some festivals during summer in Europe. Three would be nice (one in England, one in the Netherlands (please) and one in Denmark?).

Oh, and forgot: I bet you start your protest just before you will go to sleep, eh?

"(pansy ass american football) "?!?!?!?!?!?

What?!?!?!?

Geaux-

Since I'm the kinder, gentler Michael I'll respectfully disagree with your statement regarding American football.

Now, if you're suggesting that American football is "pansy ass" because our players don't live in literal fear of their lives if they accidentally "auto-goal", then I'll give that to you.

But if you're suggesting that when "soccer player" get's nicked in the shin, and the strecher bearers come cart him off and then he returns 45 sec. later isn't "pansy ass", we have a disagreement.

I've played both forms of "football" at competitive levels. I can only say from my experiance that getting ear-holed by an angry linebacker is just a little bit worse than getting kicked in the shin.

I realize I've made gross generalizations. Just having a little fun. :)
