Are most NO fans sober, or druggies? — Forum Archive

30 Oct 2006, 18:13

Some may call this a stupid post, but I think this is a valid question.

With NO's past of drug excess, and with them often being considered "drug" music, I want to know how many fans actually do drugs and how many dont. It would be interesting to find out how many NO fans are like in regards to this.

I've never done any drugs....I turn 20 next year (20 is Japan's drinking age), so I'll probably drink then, but I've never done any illegal drugs.

Well, the Vikings have been known, on occasion, to partake in the consumption of recreational drugs.

Compared to you, anyone would seem sober.

To the guy who asked this question: mind your own fucking business!

31 Oct 2006, 08:29

Wasn't going to bother with this as I thought it was fucking stupid.How can you generalise a bands' fans as to what they are?(Apart from them seeming as tho' they're all over 35 like they were at Blackpool t'other week! I'm 39....!) We're all individuals,we're all different(I'm not...),it's like generalising all Americans as being loud-mouthed,fat-arsed,gun-toting rednecks,& us Brits as being snotty,stiff-upper lipped,bad-toothed,beer-guzzling football hooligans....er,...which,of course,isn't true at all...now, where's me stash?.... :scratch:

31 Oct 2006, 08:34

Some of us are going to start following Cliff Richard because the NewOrder fans are such a bad influence :eek3:

I'll make some sandwiches and we can sit in the park with a thermos of tea.

31 Oct 2006, 08:46

I'll tell you what, I'll buy us some heated gloves for the wait. Jam on white please.

31 Oct 2006, 09:04

Nah, totally clean. But many times I've wished to be drunk and listening to them!

31 Oct 2006, 16:28

Neither - I reckon most of us are drunk non-druggies. What was the question again?

31 Oct 2006, 16:47

I'll have an E please Bob. Stupid post, each to their own.

Always prefered Beer and decent white wine meself!

1 Nov 2006, 15:50

I spent the majority of my 20s/early 30s in a happy daze, but over the last few years (I'm 38 now) I just can't handle the hangovers anymore, so it's only social drinking now and then, interspersed with long dry periods - sort of nice to be the fittest I've ever been while heading into my 40's.

1 Nov 2006, 16:48

-like to DRINK drink about once a month

N.O music, to me, goes perfectly well with a magic j-bone, or coma bone if you will.. ...wink, wink...

Drugs Are Bad.

2 Nov 2006, 06:18

I've tried a few things in the past, but I'm too worried about long-term consequences nowadays. I've even cut down on alcohol in the last year, mainly because I would do something I later regret :nod:

Wow, I'm boring, I wish I was Missy Jem!!!

2 Nov 2006, 08:04

Missy Chem! :laugh:

(bollocks..How do you post THAT PIC of Jemma)

Completely sober!

5 Nov 2006, 16:41

I have almost always been sober until twilight. But I used to drink a lot (never on my own) until I went sick by the beginning of my thirties. I used to smoke on a daily basis from 19 to 32 (a way to end the day in a good mood) - except when I was living abroad.

Still fancy one when possible (but it happens once a semester or so)...

A very sober life... But if you take account of the drugs doctors give me, I am a bloody junky I guess...

5 Nov 2006, 17:29

As I think Biginoil said previously..Mind your own! However..No prescription Drugs pour Moi, even if they are cheap I don't like the concept..just recreational ones on my own terms,when grace and circumstance allows....er,like last night :laugh:

Edit: Before anyone has a chew on my knackers,I mean't I don't agree with the concept of prescription drugs for getting high on,not for treatment of real illness...I'm not a fuckin mormon or Kabbalah or owt :eek3: Hell,I even sniffed the gas and air at my children's birth :nod:

6 Nov 2006, 11:24

During the handfull of times I smoked up at college, I wanted to play New Order as I got baked...however, I would be so toe up, I could never be arsed to put it on! (Or do much of anything!)...I'm far too lazy, pot just made it worse!

Alcohol is me drug of choice, I remember fondly winter 2004/2005, being pissed out of my head singing "Temptation" at the top of my lungs and blasting the hell out of my poor Altec Lansing 2.1 comp. speakers! At my only gig (so far, fingers crossed), I did get a few drinks, but the time The Order came on, I was almost clear headed again to remember the set! Amazing!!!
