New Order cut out of VH1's US UK Hall of Fame broadcast???

Were New Order cut out of VH1's US UK Hall of Fame broadcast? I was monitoring the broadcast on and off for New Order's segement. Did I miss something?

Damn...I just spent two hours watching VH1 for nothing.

No you did not! I watched the whole thing and NO New Order, nada nunca, NUH UH, no f***in way, not there!!!!

Thanks guys just wasted two hours of my life when I coulda been watching Notre Dame-Stanford

I'd like to take this moment to let out a hearty "I Told You So" (no relation to the song). Fuck VH1. Let the angry letter writing campaign begin.

Bollocks

Hi All...I'm new here. I suffered through VH1 for 2 looong hours for nothing!!!

Has anyone been able to find an e-mail address for VH1? I found a street address: 1515 Broadway New York, New York 10036 but no e-mail. They repeated the program back to back and they couldn't throw New Order in?!?!

I promise not to whine so much in future posts!

That's some way to thank the band that took the time to appear on that Hanging With show

Wow, what a bunch of bullshit. I immediately got on this board after I just watched that broadcast and I am f-ing pissed!!!

I sat and wadded through all that bullshit to see if I could get a glimpse of their performance and we were treated to a "Black Sabbath" finale??? Ozzie can suck my balls!

VH1 and the rest of the American media is a bunch of crap. This is reason number 1 why our music sucks compared to the rest of the world! They could have easily cut the Aretha segment, Jimi Hendrix, and the Kinks segment and put NewOrder back on the show. Wow, that royally sucked!

Yes, my cable system's information system had the incorrect information as well. It stated that "Neworder would perform." What a frig'in FARCE!!!

DESTROY VH1!!!!!

Feel bad for you on the east coast, it was a heckuva game, and the VHI broadcast here hasn't started yet.

I logged on to find out what the east coast viewers thought, and find this thread about the lack of the Order....

Between the "prevent" defense played by Stanford on that last drive, and that news, I'm gonna kinda paraphrase the comic book guy from the Simpsons..."Oooh, there is no emoticon for what I'm feeling now."

Weird thing is that the onscreen Comcast guide does feature a reference to Joy Division/New Order, which has added to my consternation.

To hell with Notre Dame and VH1.

Best way to find where to send our complaints.

Wonderful! I couldn't find anything at their website. Thanks for providing the info.

Not only was Joy Dision/New Order listed on my Directv listing and cut from the broadcast, but there was to be something for John Peel as well. Ridiculous is all I can say!

I forgot about John Peel. I'm getting mad all over again! I don't know why I'm surprised though...I really shouldn't be. God forbid VH1 expand their musical repertoire a little.

I just sent an email to the vh1 help link spotnik provided. After berating the station for its poor programming decision, I did ask when they will broadcast(presumptive yes) the show with the missing Joy Division/New Order and John Peel segments. I hope to get a response atleast. I don't know how many people are planning on writing but It is worth letting them know that this act didn't go unnoticed.

Hi guys...I've been a lurker here for a long while...I'll join in your disgust of VH1. I'm sending an email too, we saw Ozzy twice and not all of the inductees. Amazing.

Apparently the 3 hour version(with New Order?!) is on VH1 Classic Sunday night.

I just fired off my email. Between I Love the 70s 80s 90s Holidays etc and Best Week Ever, I watch a lot of VH1. Now I'm not so sure I want to anymore. Very deceptive of them after promising New Order on their website and on the cable guide.

I just sent my e-mail off as well. Very disappointing. I hope we get a response at the very least.

gawd - i'm sorry that happened ya'll. i'm so glad i decided early on not to watch and stuck with the ND vs. Stanford game. that sucks to waste so much time on such bull$#!#. sounds just like the lack of coverage by mtv/vh1 when pink floyd took the stage for live 8.

According to the VH1 website, "VH1 will air the show as a two-hour special. VH1 Classic will air the entire, unexpurgated ceremony." As mentioned by someone else earlier in the thread, VH1C will be showing the 3-hour version tomorrow night (Sunday the 27th) at 8:00 PM and 11:00 PM eastern time. Wish I had known that before I watched it tonight!

Thank God or my sister that I went out to see some live bands instead of stayiung home and watching Vaginal Hiccup 1 that night.

I will watch the uncut broadcast tomorrow, but that doesn't relieve the disappointment that I felt (like the rest of you) when our best groups were cruelly eliminated. I just sent an e-mail to VH1. Here is a closing statement that I made so that the station can get a reality check.

"Shame on you, VH1. How does it feel to have a blue Monday when you don't have true faith in the atmosphere of the music that both groups have created and immortalized, after a futile weekend broadcast? If you get this joke, then I don't see why you have eliminated them from our TV sets."

Don't worry Ian, Barney, Hooky, Steve, Gillian, and Phil. We will fight for your musical dignity. You will not be forgotten. The fans will assure that.

Yes, the finale was John Peel's induction (which included a moving speech by JP's brother) and then Buzzcocks, The Datsuns, El Presidente and Peter Hook performing Ever Fallen In Love.

Looking for a good soul to record the 3Hr program from VH1 Classic. Let me know

No good souls in this neck of the woods, WIM. Only lost ones.

You should know that!

:\pimp3:

I did the same thing..I waited for the whole show and realised they weren't going to be on!! Does anyone know where we can see the footage????

VH-1 Classic.....got it! thanks

RAMA

there is no question that VHSucks! if i was inducted to any kind of 'hall of fame' and no mention of it on the showing, that's the biggest insult. fuck vh1!
