no longer a new order fan

"hi i like new orders music and ive been a fan for a long time.but a couple days ago i found out the band are a bunch of wankers.want to know why?...read this..."I've heard something very strange on spin (mtv germany), where kafka told something about his recent interview with robert. during that session he had shown a video by new order and wondered why robert didn't want to talk about them. then he obviously asked new order about that, who told that some of the cure's songs would sound exactly like new order. he also told two quotes they made about robert: "he basically ripped us off, didn't he" and "he's a pretentious asshole"."

i got that off of a cure news site called chain of flowers...i have no more love for new order.ill be using all my new order cds as coasters from now on...

yeah,but it's true. The cure could'nt match the high standard of Joy Division,so they went for New Order instead and made a shit-load of cash in the process.

The Cure are a load of crap while New Order just released their best album to date. You can go ahead and remain a Cure fan.

You caught me at a bad time so why don't you fuck off

Hello Lisa.......goodbye!!!!!

And Robert Smith looks frighteningly like Jo Brand (who in turn looks frighteningly like the news correspondent John Sergeant). And probably still looks like Edward Scissorhands with that sad rats nest hair. Why didn't the Cure split up after they had that number 1 album 10 years back? - after all, that's what Smithy promised to do and I quote from one of his old interviews in the NME: "If we ever have a number one record, I will split the band up - I just don't want us to be seen as competing in that arena." Yah boo sucks to you, andy pandy!!!

well i know who i'd rather go for a drink with........no tart wearing lipstik that's for sure.

Please,

Listen to Dreams Never End (What came out First) and then listen to Inbetween Days (from Cure). If don't see the stolen bass line, so go ahead and leave us alone. Sorry,

...you should've listenend more properly to the things Markus Kavka said. He's a fan of both bands and all of this was definitely NOT about spreading any gossip of "pretentoius assholes" and stuff...it's always the tone that makes the music! Always thought about how Hooky could've said things ? Heard about "sarcasm" or "cynism" ???

Get a life

New Order have actually ripped-off a few artists in their past. Listen to "Donna Summer - our love" for the complete drum programming of Blue Monday. Or "the cure - just like heaven" (released '88) and "all the way" (released 89)

As a fan of both the Cure and NO, I think I can safely say they probably influenced one another quite a bit, and if a bit of borrowing occured, so be it, it was the Eighties: We had a B-movie actor in the White House and the threat of Nuclear War and a Boy George solo career over our heads. So what if the boys paniced and began making similar sounding records? At least neither mined the dreadful territory that was Wham!

Now you're really talking Tabsy - anyone here brave enough to admitting to ever liking Wham! ?? And before you start - no, I never liked them. Utter pants.

....And shuttlecocks.

That is not new news to me! If you stop liking a band because of something they said once then you must have not been a big fan to begin with, just my opinion!

I hope you have fun in the land of Cure...

Long live the order!!!!!!!!!!

:):):)

The Cure now make me snure...zzzzz....zzzzz.....zzzzz......

I'm a fan of both (but the cure have been shite from Friday I'm In Love onwards) and i did read once that Hooky said he'd nicked basslines off them, the same as they had done to him. I don't give a fuck who nicks from who as long as something great comes from it.

It's fucking useless to go around hanging on the words of every pop star you fancy, then be offended when they say something you don't 100% agree with! If Hooky thinks Gallup took his bass lines, fine by me. So long as they continue to both try and produce great music, I'll still listen.

That's fine Lisa, Cock off.... we dont need ya anyways:p meant in a non aggresive way obviously.....:) (oops im a bit pissed and clearly hormonal)

New Order New Order New Order!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Liv

I'd have thought that Fat Bob would be the first to agree that he's a "pretentious asshole" anyway. :)

Amy xox

Make that a "pretentious EXISTENTIAL asshole" Amy and you've hit the nail on the head (on the door). ;)

Sorry you feel this way.

If you don't want your CD's please send them to me. There are a few I need on CD. I bet you will keep them because deep down you know New Order are better then the Cure.

I liked the Cure many years ago, but I can't say they are consistent in my view. Just look at 'Get Ready', it blends in with everything else they have done. It's like they never left and you also know this. The new album doesn't sound different to anything else they had done. They have done very well. I liked the new album as soon as I heard it.

Again, if your serious let me know if you really want to get rid of your CDs. I'll be glad to take them off your hands, I could even buy you a set of coasters for you.

You are the weakest link......

GOODBYE

LIv
