Outburst,comment,gesture or response a member of the band has made onstage/offstage.
From *Pumped Full Of Drugs:
Bernard "Turn that light off you cnut",also liked the one Hooky made about they'd be as big as U2 but Barney couldn't carry the flag cos it was too heavy!
At Sydney on 18th May 1985, the fifth anniversary of Ian's death. Bernard introduces We All Stand with the immortal line "I'd like to dedicate this song to someone who couldn't be with us tonight because he's dead, I think you all know who I mean............Mr Elvis Presley."
"By the way, everyone says this but we do love New York... the drugs are so cheap here.... and plentiful"
Barney in '87 
SFX Dublin Jan'86
'I'd complain to the promoter about the fuckin' heatin' in this place if i were you...fuckin freezin'...Bernard.

Spot on Geri. Barney to the audience in the Paradise Garage gig, New York 7th July 1983-"seldom have I met an audience more lethargic than we are....."
"it's the fist time we've done a gig where the bands been more out of their heads than the audience" Reading 1988 i think
I doubt it's true but it's a great quote.

"on the opening night I had to pay to get in! Gillian's sister used to impersonate Gillian and get in for free. I'm not a bitter man".
P.S. How do you join the Gillian Fanciers Association and what are the membership benefits?
UK,sure it's '83,I've got the boot but can't rem which one..........
Hooky; "You shouldn't swear,there's several big blokes here who'll RIP YER FUCKIN' HEAD OFF!!!"

You want a 25 year younger Bernard to shag you with a keyboard?
After making a pigs scrotum of All the Way and just prior to Round and Round......
"sorry about that, but you gotta admit it, it was shit, the next one's gonna be good thogh, cos it's all done by computers"
And the entire "Ian had it easy, he didn;t have this sore foot" thread from NYC 05.

"Im not a mod or a rocker. Im a mocker".
I'm sure you know that, if he did say that, he pinched it from Ringo Starr.
Jemma's right
I also like how Barney came on stage at the Ally Pally NYE gig - Hi we're New Order and we're a bit fucked.

Because Bernard was completely fucked that night. He says it at the start of Blue Monday, which is a very memorable performance indeed. He giggles quite happily and completely forgets to sing, so Hooky starts giving him the lines.
"Can you move back a bit please, someone's getting crushed in the front. I don't give a f**k really, but it sounds good if I say it."
London 1985

"And this is the one that left 'em for fookin' dead, right?" - Hooky
Listening to Woolwich 1987 just now and Barney says: "This is the first time we play this part of London, and I think I understand why really" and
"You have to keep up with the improvisation ... FUCK FUCK FUCK ... you missed it .."
There are loads like these, the only real reason for collecting these boots, isn't it?

just listened to a few songs from Kilkenny 1983 tonight.. Ceremony's a classic... almost completely done impersonating Elvis "Thankyou, Thankyouverymuch"
(and, copied from new-order.net because my memory's shit)
"So pleased to see you all here. I'm so pleased you like Ceremony. [Bernard raises voice] I'm so pleased you like Temptation. (Hooky shouts affermation) I'm so pleased you like Blue Monday. (Hooky: "Yeah!") Straight from Top Of The Pops, we have New Order! On my left, I have Peter Hook. On my right, I have Gillian Gilbert. Behind me, I have Ian Curtis."
