maybe you could try a Cleveland Steamer with Barns, no???
ive heard a lot of negative stuff that barney could be an asshole to some people or mean. maybe he was just drunk?
id like to hope that hes not really like that normally.
is this true ?
I met him in Peruvia, a nightclub in Manchester about 10 years ago. I never once saw him in the Hacienda. He was really nice and bought me and my friend a drink. Although he did look a little freaked out when i told him i'd named my parrot after him!

Course we have, we just don't feel a need to write about it! Steve doesn't post on here about having met Rocket Mick, and Hooky doesn't write about how Ness smiled at him at a gig, so why the fook should we write about having met them? It is a semi-regular occurrence for some these days, after all!

i was just asking what they were like. nothing at all to get upset about. i was just innocently wondering. i'm kind of new here and just wanted to know what they were like.
sorry.
I know, sorry. Bastard door was locked at my anger management class. We're usually too pissed to remember what they are like, to be honest!

thats a bog standard answer for him. you'll suss it out mate.
the day you contribute something worthwhile hell will freeze over!
Lovely bloke, very down-to-earth. I met him between songs when he and Jonn Marr were doing For You on TFI Friday back in 96. He was in the bar with the public but no-one was making a point of asking him for an autograph or owt.
I mustered my courage and wandered over to say hi. We chatted for a while about this and that and I asked him if Electronic would play any more live dates as I'd seen them live at Wembley in 91. He said it was down to Johnny's commitments but that he'd like to.
I then asked him the $64,000 question: would the Order ever reform and work again. He genuinely didn't know and said that he was still in touch with Hooky, Steve and Gillian. I suppose we chatted for about five minutes and then he shook my hand: I have shaken the very hand that has played so many golden riffs.
I left Riverside studios in Hammersmith on a cloud...
The Corby Order got to meet Barney at the Aftershow in Manchester last November, he was on his way out but took the time for a few pictures and was happy enough when I said the show was better than the gig the previous week in Brixton. He was sound as fuck.
But the audience was better at Brixton 
I had the pleasure of meeting Barney outside Baby Gap in the Trafford Centre a few years back, shortly after their reunion gig at the MEN. I congratulated him on a great gig and told him of my hope that it wouldn't be too long before they had a new album out.
He was very courteous, friendly and genuinely interested in what I had to say. He told me that the band were going back in studio very shortly and that a new album would be out 'soon' (Well, it was about 2 years later when Get Ready came out).
We chatted for about five minutes but not too long because I didn't want to come across as a star struck, over eager fan. As it happened he was on his way into Baby Gap as I was, and quite unintentionally our paths crossed about three times. My then girlfriend didn't have a clue who he was!
What struck me most about him was how gentle his handshake was. I think I crushed his knuckles!
The only other occasion I have been lucky enough to meet him was whilst queuing up outside the Hac many years ago, when he politely excused himself as he tried to get through the crowd.
The other thing that struck me was how on both occasions the people in the vicinity didn't appear to realise exactly who he was.
In my opinion the guy's a god - a very polite, genuine god.

You crushed his knuckles and wonder why it took 2 years to do an album!!!
You haven't bumped into him recently have you?

I couldve met, or at least confronted him once, 20 years ago, but I was too chicken. Not sure I regret it though. Imagine if he'd said, something along the lines of - you've caught me at a bad time, so why don't you piss off? 
*cringe*
Oh no wait... maybe it was you?

That'd be a great way to answer demands for an encore.
"Blue Monday? You want Blue Monday? *fire up firethrower* PISS OFF!" *fwoosh* *deathsounds* *randomStevedrumbeatsandcymbals*
"That's it, we're New Order, TYVM."
