no longer a new order fan

what's the point of posting on a message board of a new order fansite for the sole purpose of slagging them off? did that lisa person, whoever she may be, actually think that one post would make us all pack our bags and leave this board forever??? she really needs to get a life.

Aww C'mon, credit where it's due - at least it's stirred the shit up again regarding the evergreen "New Order vs The Cure vs Depeche Mode" debate, what's more, a little slagging match always livens the forum up a bit dont'cha think?? Why else would we all be replying to this topic with such regularity - admit it, it's addictive!!
I always find it entertaining anyway - deep down if you love New Order, why should you feel hurt if someone slags them off all of a sudden? The affection YOU harbour for them will always be there - surely that's what's important. :)

With all due respect, why should i? As Sarah said, why come here just to slag them off? Surely posting on Cure board about how much she dislikes New Order these days would have been more appropriate... perhaps im missing the point somewhere?

Liv

and besides Jeff, nothing could tarnish your image of me, im sure! lol! :p

Robert Smith's band name has four letters and begins with CU. I rest my case.

face facts here... the cure are not very good. Robert Smith can't sing! Whereas Mr Sumner can... er... also not sing... shit. Should've thought about this a bit more.

Keep trying, Major! Keep trying!!

Originally posted by Taboo # 7 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!

couldn't have said this better...well stated and right on point

About All The Way and Just Like Heaven. Can you HONESTLY tell me that The Cure did more with that bassline than New Order did? All The Way is one of their better songs. After listening to JLH, I had forgotten what ATW sounded like. And I played it every so often. And then played ATW like a week later. It's been over 5 months and JLH hasn't been listened to since.

Lisa, don't leave, we haven't even gotten to know you. And if you're unfamiliar with the board, one of the great things is that New Order checks in here very frequently. And they listen to what us posters say. So if we all rally together I bet we could get a public apology to Robert and his mates. I'll be first. Peter, Bernard, Stephen, and Gillian, you are very important to us and your music is very important to us. But it is wrong to say not nice things about other people, other bands, and their music. We know you are very nice people and didn't mean anything seriously by the things you said about the Cure. So we would greatly appreciate it if you could apologize to Robert and say that even if you don't like his music you still respect him and think he's a good person. You have a common bond of playing music that people love. So put those minor differences aside and lets love each other as brothers and sisters in this world of love and music.

Thank you and good night.

Amen, but I believe she may have had an ulterior motive in dragging this one out. Notice how we're all jumping on her case? Kinda like Jerry Murphy all over again....

There are bands I love whose members have often said some mean, nasty, and just plain wrong things over the years, but I don't stop listening to them entire just because of one statment I disagree with. If you're a real fan, you'll take the good, you'll take the bad, put it all together and what do you got? The Facts of Life, that's what......
