Rather harsh - you could say that about anyone starting off-
e.g. That Johnny Marr - he was only in the White Dice...
Wow I didn't know you came on here Phil, any chance of back stage tickets to next gig 
Music-wise, I think almost everyone prefers the New order from the 80s to the one today. Phil is part of the Get Ready / WFTSC crowd, Gillian was there when they did all their classic stuff.
To be fair, what sort of /history did Gillian have back in 1980? Even if the only thing Phil brings to the band is more gigs, that's fine by me...

How does he bring more gigs though Snorri?
I mean,it's easy to understand the point about how he brings ginger bollocks to the band...but what influence does he have on touring?

If Gillian was still in the band, think of the babysitter bill.

Yeh,Phil must be cheaper.Explains it.A value for money Jinog
I like him. Makes no real difference to me. As long as my favourite band are still gigging and putting out records is all that matters. The thing that baffles me is that people resist change, yet, without change, we'd've had no "Blue Monday", no "Temptation", no "State Of The Nation" (ok, maybe not all change is good). Evolution is important to a band and without it, we wouldn't be where we are now.
The people who say they dont like Phil, may have been the same people who hated Blue Monday when it came out, because it didn't sound like Joy Division.

I've got over the feeling that he has somehow taken what should have been my job and I think he's great, a really good musician, though I wish he would leave the guitar alone during the nice orchestral bit after the first chorus on Krafty. Hey Now What You Doing has always sounded to me like Bernard doing his Neil Young record, and Phil's contribution is great on that, though I especially like his work at the end of Waiting For The Sirens' Call.
so why not next gig in manchester we'll have phil dancing with barney and guitars, gillian back on keyboards (hey you know she misses it) and dawn zee singing and dancing at the back
