Everyone was an arsehole,did things wrong,bullied,cajoled,was selfish.Nobody was God-Peter Hook

"You know ,you're use to walking onstage with Joy Divsion,and you'd be proud as punch.it's like,Yes!Come on.you bastards!We're going to give it yer!And you go on as New Order and,"Hook adopts the voice and stance of a scared little boy,"it's like.Oh my God,what's going to happen tonight?'To lose that and go to that was pretty traumatic.It waslike climbing your way up a slippery slope.and then lo and behold,eight or nine years later you're fucking back there and you can go,'Yes ,you bastards-have this! This,explains Hook,might account for his reputation for surliness and aggressiveness.

A nice little story of going from a great band ......to a great band.Hell i used to really enjoy the ORDER appearing in the music press.Internet seems to have changed all this somewhat.I don't bother anymore buying the magazines.What about you?

You've cancelled your subscription to 'Over 50's: Mature Ladies in stockings'?

Is there a web link?

Personally I still love me magazines, a pipe, my slippers and the company of a good woman.

No it was just from an interview from '93.Uncut -the one that gave away a free CD.

Reminds me of a 4-tape anthology I made once spanning Warsaw to about 87ish....I called it "rock gods to fucked sods and back"

i thought I was the only person sad enough to do that kind of thing, didn't come up with that on though, great concept.

Also reminds me of a french and saunders sketch about princess Di (before she died obviously) saying there's a girl who had it all, lost it and got it all back on her own terms. Hope this doesn't mean the prince philip is going to kill new order!!!!!

I too used to enjoy the music press newspapers / mags about 20 years ago but now most of them don't exist and if they do carry articles that don't interest me.

On the other hand the internet has provided me with more info on Joy Division / New Order than any other media. So roll on the internet!

Is there a (non-internet) music press any more?
