Can't believe some people went to the trouble to do that!
bit harsh reallyNope.
Once saw a gang of lads in JOHN ROBIE IS A FOOKIN BUSTARD t-shirts though.
Spelt exactly like that. Bustard!
Norverners, natch.
Robie wasn't exactly the best thing to happen to NO though so you can see where the t-shirts were coming from, I probably would've worn one! 
He should've been hauled before a Factory tribunal for the likes of Sub-culture 12" and the epileptic piano riff/overall production on Shell-shock.
You probably wouldn't have seen fans in 1993 going around with "STEPHEN HAGUE'S A FOOKIN BUSTARD" t-shirts because of True Faith, 1963 or Regret somehow!
Maybe "TURN UP THE FUGGIN HOOKY BASS HAGUE" 
I've never seen those shirts before, and I don't think he should die, but I still don't like what he did to "Subculture".

Phew, you've just made me see sense anyway.
There was me all tooled up to the nines just about to catch a flight to USA and hunt him down.
Instead I'm just going to have a sandwich now 
Now, Ally, let's just see a little reason here....
You could still come to America and lurk around his offices just giving him a mean eye! And he'll be thinking "That guy doesn't like what I did with New Order, I'm gonna die."
You won't have to lift a finger to put the fear of it all in him. Just an eyebrow.
ARMAND VAN HELDER MUST DIE would be more appropriate.
As someone who heard Susbtance 2 years before Low-Life, his remix of Subculture is good...
I can understand why people who listened to the Low-Life version first would think otherwise though.
Reminds me of the Inspiral Carpets' "Cool as Fuck" t-shirts. At a gig darn sarf one fan got locked up by the rozzers for obscene bahaviour in public. Just for wearing the t-shirt.

I thought Arthur Baker remixed Confusion with a latino edge. Fookin brilliant. Better than the original. Or was that the original?!!!!

He probably just lined up the coke for arthur, wouldn't trust him to do anything else, his mix of sub culture and shellshock were crap.
Robie T shirts aside, always wondered what the band think of his remixes of subculture, shellshock etc. personally i find it odd that they didn't run for the hills after the first one. either they liked his stuff, or were obligated in some way to do a series of records with him.
To be fair to the guy, Planet Rock and Walking on sunshine are fantastic.
