Hahaha, I love that comment.

Especially from Hooky considering he gets the touchiest about Ian Curtis, it seems. The brother said he went mental at some person in the audience who shouted something distasteful. And let's face it, you wouldn't want to get in a fight with Hooky, he's quite a big guy..

Easy to say that from the safety of the USA, as they don't look like they're going back! :laugh:

he's shorter than i am, and seems like a good man. still--fit for a (almost) 50-year-old!

weakest element: the fans who deride phil for not being gillian.

True CTB, Ian was the tall bastard(a bit over 6ft if my memory serves me right. Stevie was/is the next tallest at 5'10 I think. The exact heights are in NOOL's FAQ's from memory). Still in all, Hooky's pretty stocky and nowt one I'd still pick a fight with(Specially if he's wearing his fooking bass at the time!!).

Weakest element of NO? Being too gutless, insanely rich to care or lazy to tell Warner/London off about thier stupid concept of how to "distribute" NO's music to it's already existing fanbase and/or relating it's importance to newer potential fans/product consumers to how much NO REALLY influenced the way some modern pop/rock/dance sounds today.

 I'm still bitterly pissed off about the US branch's decision to only do digital downloads of the new US 'virtual or DL' single, GIAUE. More like an 'actual' way of Warner copping out of paying anything to art directors/photographers/printing plants for sleeve production and another way of justifying the shutdown of larger-scale CD duplication plants. Warner are avaricious cunts and I'm sorry that the combined idiocy of both Rob Gretton and Tony Wilson sent Factory to such an early demise. If it were still going as a single-band label(and the Hacienda was only a rented venue, not the admittedly-nice but money-sucking barn it was)NO would still have maintained greater personal control over the product released and may not have lost the cred we've bestowed them with and not have developed the animosity that saw them almost totally destroyed as a working group in the '90s. It's nice to dream innit? 

And of course, Hannett might have got his Fairlight after all- what would Movement have sounded like then?? Dreams Never End...if only it were true.
