Please come back. Let Phil play guitar. But you are the life of the band. Without you everything is taped and programed and sounds like shit. Email me and I will send you a copy of the Southside gig so you can hear for your self.
Sincerely,
Twist
ps
Do you have any extra footage of yourslef from the TBTHOG video? Such a shame you got so little time in that video.
I'd like to second this. Being new to NO - the only time I've seen Gillian is on 316. Being an original member who wrote the classics, I'd like to see more of her!
But the little tykes need her I suppose. More than we do. I guess.
Never seen this pic before.Was obviously the same photo shoot as the one with Steve in 83 that comes up on the NOOL banner (NY was it?)
Or this one
This is one of my faves though.lovely

Sooooo, not Hooky or perhaps even Bernard then?! 
She looks better here.

Good ol Barney. Where would they be without his dancing like an uncle at the office Christmas party.

More important than the band? Yes, totally - but we can still miss her input & hope that some day she will be in a position to contribute again to the music

but does this sentiment, along with 'i hate phil' (which twist mercifully avoided), really require one thread a week?

If there's no new news...
Phil can play the guitar. Don't you Phil-out people realise that by having a real guitarist in the band, Bernard can spend more time studying the autocue, dancing and thinking up funny introductions to the songs?
They wouldn't even be doing any gigs without Phil's input, as no way could Gillian cope with the lion's share of the guitar work.
personally I don't care if they have 3 phil'a and a bloody marachi band. I just want to think that ifI went to see new order it woulodn't end up in a fight and a court case because they used tapes on stage.

Psssttt...I 'm trying to suck up to her.
I never said get rid of Phil. I like Phil. Phil is needed for guitar. But if Gillian came back and new Order became a 5 piece they would become even better. No need to use tapes. Gillian could even do the back up vocals.

sure. you just fancy her. ;)
You guys are being pretty tough on phil, he seems to be a very talented musician. Though i do agree it would be cool to see prime new order again.
Same, I want a five piece - would improve live heaps.
I agree with sentiments expressed about Steve - he is very hot. Even at his age - hes aged very well. Funny too - some priceless remarks.
I wonder what it had been like if they went were their initial idea of having Gillian sing the lead for New Order. Imagine Blue Monday with a female voice.
Gillians vox on The Other Twos 'Selfish' is golden.
