Never going to happen....Barney is going to new a new boat and Steve is going to need a new tank
tank:
There is the 20 Indian casino circuit in the "States" boys and a pile of money waiting along the route...as Larry The Cable Guy demonstrates, you don't need the "majors" to get your career along.
..and face it, New Order is their job and hopefully pays the bills...
...They will make a nice lounge act...5000 attendants x 30 dollars a head = $150,000 and you guys can make it twice a week!!

Of course they are no longer a major draw and album sales have been low BUT if there was ever going to be an opportunity to cash in and fill the coffers for retirement it's going to be pleasing the Goff kids in the US of A immediately after the Corbijn film is released and God forbid that means a JD tour. I'd hate to see it but even if they don't give it serious consideration then surely the money men will?
When they do go, good luck to 'em.
Bass cabs: So long and thanks for all the fish
I know it's unpopular, but WTF, bring it on! A JD tour!
If it's no tours verses a JD albeit-cash-in tour, who cares?
apart from us lot who'd be jolly happy and who knows, maybe Hooky and Steve were hinting at this with tongue firmly in cheek when saying that NO tours are on indefinite hiatus?
Yes, yes, I'm over analysing again...
I'm indifferent, but also aware that more gigs= more likelihood of continued recording output (and vice versa), so BRING IT ON!

*sigh* Another day, another new Craig W thread to pick to pieces.
Point #1, you've said numerous times that you're only interested in recorded output, apparently you don't care about gigs so why are you even bothered?
Point #2, Who cares? Probably a set of NOJD fans (in most likelyhood the majority) who wouldn't want to see the relatively intact NOJD legacy pissed up the wall in a crass, moneymaking way. Anything they attempted to do regarding 'bringing back Joy Division' would be a critically ill-received disaster. You do know Ian's dead right?
You really don't care how much the band lower themselves or soil their reputation do you? Just so long as you get more recorded output. I'd rather they gave up now than compromise what made them cool in the first place I.e. doing precisely what they want.
maybe Hooky and Steve were hinting at this with tongue firmly in cheek when saying that NO tours are on indefinite hiatus?
You really do pluck any old shite out of thin air don't you? Is there not alot to do in NZ or something? Or are you simply stoned in charge of a keyboard most of the time?
Yes, yes, I'm talking bollocks again...
Quite.
It won't last!
Not the Band, but the split! Even if they do, it will only be a matter of time before they are back again... They are too big to quit forever. All the big bands break up several times, but in the end reform for big gigs and when the money is tight. NO should be thinking about Legacy, its what makes it all worth while, pack it in for a bit if you like, but don't write off reforming in a year or two.
If i'm wrong and they did, I'd just lose respect for them. They owe it to their fans to keep it up, even if its a few gigs per year. History will record if they are quitters or a band with a true faith in themselves.
(Did you see what I did there ;-) )
Besides, they'll need some penny's to keep the Pernods coming!

the Beatles split and never got back together again, so did loads of other bands.
i don't get this business of bands owing their fans. if anything it is the other way round.
new order have only ever done things to suit themselves.
i for one wish they keep going for a while longer especially since they seemed to enjoy playing live and had one of their most productive recording periods as well.
Yeah, it's my first time in the NO forum, I just joined tonight and I'm eighteen and since having owned 'Blue Monday 88'on a rock compilation cd, I've been addicted to it, my neighbours are probably homicidal since I play it more than twice a day, very loud of course! So I decided to purchase their 'Singles' album release earlier this year, took me a while to like most of them but now they're my second ever favourite band, most of my pals think I'm odd to listen to such an "old" band but their music relates to my life and emotions day to day and also kicks butt, I mean these lads invented meaningful dance music and electronic dance in general! Anyways, point is I love them, I own four of their albums and have listed on my goals in life to see them live, it would mean soooo much. Also hope they'll conquer the charts one more time with a huge number 1# like BM...

when order came of stage at reading in 93 i thought thats it ,,,with all the rumours of fall outs 93 had a feel of contractual obligation about it ,,so i wasnt surprised they gave it up for a while,, neither was i surprised when they came back,,,stronger than ever ,,,seeing them live this year,,, well thats not a band thats calling it quits and they still have great songs in them,, it just takes forever for them to get em out ..
playing as j.d... the manc concert was all j.d wasnt it???
as someone said,,,even new order dont know what there going to do next.... .

Still, I'd be mighty pissed at having never seen them live
I've been a fan since a long time, but still I was too young to hang around in clubs when they came in my city, and now I won't ever have the pleasure to see them live, so I know how do you feel
Fan since '82 but you grow up.....still love their music but it's just music at the end of the day. Not that important in the big scheme of things. Not sure i'd like to see them playing in their 60s, kind of cringeworthy and not representative of the Order I cherish from my youth. I will even confess to having a bit of a moment at Hyde Park last year when I had a dawning realisation that I was no longer a teenager,and that 1984 was so long ago....But they mean different things to different people and that's cool. What is important for them is what they want to do as individuals.
