"You are small but you have a fucking big mouth" - Peter Hook to Julio in Brasilia.
Apparently Julio liked to be insulted by Hooky himself.
"at least when i wake up in the morning im human"! barney to some loud mouth circa 83/84.
dont spit!! you wouldt do that at home would you ? barney again.
can you move back at the front,,,see we do care realy ,,barney tongue in cheek finsbury 87.
"this is only cos youve been here as long as us" hooky introduces encore futurama 82.
(fuck off)this is a benifit for martin hannet!!! hooky to promoter type who was trying to wind up his stage time at ,,,a benifit for martin hannet.91.
"on drums ,,steve morris" barney to bemused morris the band left steve to carry a drum solo.,womad 85.
im waiting for the sirens call...
LIVERPOOL 06! Hooky: "I'm talking to you cunts in the yellow.I can see yer from up here,and as far as I'm concerned you fooking started it. If you don't lay off now,I'll fuck off and let you deal with it."
Straight after,launching into a song,Hooky sez:- "I hate that,playing a top song and you sound shit!"
at the Electric Picnic, last year... lots of fun ones, but I remember this especially
Barney: "Okay this is, uh, bringing it up a bit more up-to-date, this is a track off our last album, whatever the fuck that was called, and it's called Krafty. Just can't sell stuff, y'know. My record company want me to, but I just can't put my heart into it. Buy it if you like it, if you don't, fuck it up."
longing back to Factory days, maybe?
and Hooky: "Just a quick dedication before we go, I'd like to congratulate Kelly Osborne and Matty on their marriage, but don't tell her Mom and Dad because they're gonna fucking kill her!

In no order
- liverpool 06
agreed to all that hooky yelled. but with new order jokes and stuff...
- Barney saying after Crystal
"it's been a hard day's night" beatles song joke from a manc?
- alan wise's irony:
liverpool, liverpool so much more beautiful than manchester (fuck offs from audience)which is so much more ugly than liverpool
barney daring "slim" the roady to sing BM with them, and he does. got a photo of that somewhere. Was it Blackburn?
Whatever the (gay??) joke was between Barney and Hooky at London's Heaven which involved a pair of knickers being placed on the end of Barney's guitar. He couldn't sing or play for laughter
" tonight we play especialy long set for you german audience." barney to delirious crowd,,haus nead ,frankfurt,march 1984. 1 song later they were gone!!
first to paris.
did slim sing bl at blackburn
not blackburn 85,, seem to remember he sang some "disco" tune with them ,,love juice ? at a london gig.
anyway what happened to slim?
then to spain.
The abuse of the Berlin Metropol audience in 1984 prior to Temptation takes the biscuit for me i.e." Your the worst fucking audience we've ever played to in our entire fucking lives, you bunch of miserable bastards".......
Followed by an apology after the song :D

That was Blue Monday/Love Reaction, at Brixton Academy 1st Dec 1983. "Love Juice" was a guitar jam at Auckland in 1985.
No idea what happened to Slim though!
"Well you didn't deserve that...." Hooky after Decades at Amsterdam 84
"....and you certainly don't fookin' deserve this" Hooky before LWTUA, three seconds later!
"Notice how all our songs finish with big endings? Big songs.....small dicks....."
Don't know what gig but have it somewhere. Barney, mid 80s.
Someone asked about the "Blackburn Lads" quote. It was a dedication for members of Blackburn Youth, Blackburn Rovers hooligan firm.

Glastonbury '87 I do believe, it's on the BBC Radio 1 Live CD.
After BLT (on the CD anyway).
hooky to barney,"they dont trust us cos were from manchester." march 83 2nd night at the state,liverpool.
this was also the gig when barney took camera off a fan and took a picci of him.
causing frustration
The wit of Steve Morris on Ian Curtis (1988)
"I think the main thing we decided was that we didn't want to get a singer in as it would be a bit much to expect someone to step into his shoes..........we've still got his shoes haven't we?"

my word almost three years for the first post.
may there be many more.
well have you all outside,,, were from manchester,
barney to "bemused " liverpool audience 83.
as i was from near manc at the time i had to keep shut for the rest of the gig !!..
the lengths i had to go.
As regular readers may know I was at school with Barney and Hooky but had never spoken to them since they left in 1972. I spotted Hooky in Manchester on our way to the Ian Curtis tribute night 2 years ago and approached him from behind. "Been trying to catch up with you for 30 years" I said. "Fuckin hell, you must have been walking slowly" was the response.

class!
I still use his 'I'm not a bitter man' line all the time (its on the neworderstory video - when he's telling the story about having to always pay in to the Hac, while Gillian's sister got in for free by impersonation her)
SM is king of the one liner for me. Who can forget, again on the same subject:
"There's not many groups do it. We thought it was a good gimmick at the time, I'm very surprised he went along with it"

You approached Hooky from behind and all you got was a witty retort?
Lucky man 
Are you on that class photo that crops up here from time to time?
Somewhere along the lines of, from Barney to Hooky,
'Would you please turn yer fookin' bass down?'
[And of course, Hooky's reactions... ]

"sorry to keep you waiting , just waiting for the sequencer to load up ......not sorry really , don't give a shit really....." New York '83 i think
Right again-just before Confusion at the Paradise Garage gig in NY 1983.
