Regret is a solid NO song; but I don't rate it as a classic musically (er... or as classical music) but the lyrics are superb...
Special off Republic always stops me in my tracks, along with Avalance off Republic; two of my top faves from that period.
Brilliant.
Someone says Regret is a top choon. And this turns into a debate about our Dads.
My Dad is actually the 'mintest'. So there. And he looks like Alex Ferguson. 
Thought the telephone line was absolutely trite when I first heard Regret. And I probably still think it's trite somewhere deep down in me subliminals, but I don't really give it a thought now.
Superb track though. Solid and dependable. Crossover for both the hardcore and the windowlickers.
Didn't this come 4th in our 'ultimate New Order chart' recently, only beaten off the obvious triumvirate.
Expect to hear it 3rd in the set at Liverpool.
Er, or 2nd. 
(Be nice to hear it near the end though, just for once, to change things around a bit!)

i start a thread about a great song and how much i love it, and then it turns into this. why can't people just stick to commenting on the song?
it just really fucks me off.
I don't blame you for being fucked off, Jack. Seems to me that too many threads now are turned into pointless arguments and piss taking when there is no need. Some of these people must be sad fucks in real life.
And I 
Regret
PS. It's great to be proud of your dad.

im outta here this is just silly
Apparently, you came to the wrong place. :\ohwell: Too many people waking up on the wrong side of the bed here...
yeah
its annoying. i mean, its not like this is the forum where we talk about new order :\ohwell:
i just wanted other people's thoughts on regret
:(
We need a separate forum called "Bitch Session" or "The Squared Circle" or something like that. Then we could just talk about music in this one.

that's a good call. one of the other forums i post at has a "bitch board". NOOL definitely needs one of those.
Anyway, I think Regret is a beautiful song. I think I voted it first or second on my list for the definitive NO top 10 forum. The music is just very beautiful. The lyrics are OK. Esoteric in typical NO song, so we can each read into it what we want. Probably conjures up different images for everybody.

It's got one. It's called 'Behind Closed Doors'.

How is
Maybe you're a wee bit jealous cos your dad isn't quite so 'mint'?
a comment on Hookys ability as a musician?
As i've mentioned before, the arsekissing on this board is totally ridiculous. People need to open their eyes.
maybe she left the E & the D off mint.
amazing song.. that guitar riff I don't think anyone can get tired of.. and Hooky's basslines seems to sing from the soul. awesome drumming and synths as well. altogether great song. the video's not bad either, one of the more enjoyable videos I've seen.
"just wait 'til tomorrow, that's what they all say, just before they fall apart" - classic

Cool thread! Yeah, people do seem a bit grumpier now. Hard to believe it's the same people. Times must be hard. Maybe the World Cup has people stressed out. 
Like frogs in a dynamite pond...
I make one little comment to Jack in jest and suddenly tempers flare. I just meant it seems a bit too easy for Jack to start a thread saying how good one of his pop's best singles is, because it's awfully hard to be objective in that case. It's like Napoleon's son saying how great it is that his dad conquered most of Europe. Pretty obvious. But if Jack also mentioned a few New Order songs that he dislikes, it would be easier to swallow. (Hint to Jack: pick a few more songs from Republic.) Then again, maybe he thinks ALL of their songs are great, in which case, my point about a conflict of interest would seem all too correct. 
Wee bugger hates most of my favourites
Jack bashing's an awful popular sport round these parts tho, it probably wears a bit thin after a while.
LOL, if he were half the arshole some people make him out to be he'd have asked his old boy to ban each and every fuckwitt with a NOOL login from all future gigs, I know, I AM that big an asshole and it's what I'd do

Regret is a classic. No Doubt. The intro is mint
My Dad has done a bit of design in his time, so i am not allowed to say i like it cos he's my Dad?
Only read - skimmed - previous posts, but I love this track; it is just one of those songs that you hear the intro..........and...........I love it. I think a lot of people 'listen' too carefully sometimes and miss the obvious. I don't care if it's Abba for example; a certain song, a certain time.........will always be great.

Errr....more than likely Ron. It just spilled out.......and now I REGRET it!
Regret is New Order´s finest moment, period. It is the Mount Everest of songs, ..Temptation, BTL, Ceremony are merely K2s or Kilimanjoros.
That intro, that bassline, the clever use of guitar intro throughout the song, the lines "Just wait til tomorrow, that what they all say. Just before they fall apart"
Who are ABBA? :)
Me and my wife got engaged in Rome and in my effort to go down on one knee and propose to her in our rooftop 5* restaurant, I needed to distract her so as I could get the bloody ring box out of my pocket. So I asked her what the white building was (which turned out to be the Vittorio). She looked away saying she didn't know, I got down on one knee and played it smoothly.I proposed and she said yes. Since that night, every time we have gone to Rome which has been annualy we have always had our photo taken in front of this building together. We love it and Rome itself now.
I have always loved Regret. I never saw the video though, until last week.
For the first time I realised that NO had shot a lot of the video in front of this building (which is a war monument come museum) and on seeing it for the first time I filled up. And when I showed it to her, she did too.
And now, even though she is not a NOOL or NO fan, she also loves Regret too.
ahhhh I can hear you bastards say- "Its almost like Simon Bates on Radio 1 and "Our Tune".........
Well you can stop that for fucking starters.
:bag:
Awwwww that's sweet :)
And I'd never accuse a fellow rumblestick player of being simon bates ;)
one of my all time norder faves,we waited so fucking long after technique anall,still likes it still fuckin loves it!
