Summary: He declares there explicit the end of the band new order. In his opinion, if one of the founding members leaves the band, the other members have to change the name of the band, if they want to continue.

WELT ONLINE: There is a discussion in the internet: Is there New Order or isn't New Order anymore?

Peter Hook: No, New Order did split after 27 years.

WELT ONLINE: Why?

Hook: Why should I tell you this? It's one of the most painful points in my life.

WELT ONLINE: Because the public wants to know why.

Hook: I can't say much, it's too fresh for me.

WELT ONLINE: But such things are part of a longer Story?

Hook: Exactly. You couldn't talk about New Order as band already for a longer time. We all have us developed in different directions. It isn't fun to know to be 50, too, and the last decades passed very fast. I have maybe only a few decades now and exactly thought about, what I want to do. It was a longer process of decision.

WELT ONLINE: What, when the other ones want to continue as New Order?

Hook: They can do it, but not as New Order. We had the principle already as Joy Division. If one founding member leaves, the band has to change the name.

Cheers Norbert, Googly translated:

“Blue Monday”, their most well-known hit, was a cult Song of the new Wave. Always new versions and Remixe of it brought new order out. The volume had followed from the dark formation Joy division, after singer Ian Curtis 1980 had killed himself. Center of the nineties was for the first time conclusion with new order. For the English national soccer team they had taken up 1990 “World to motion”, one the best football Popsongs at all. 2001 rafften it together and brought themselves the album “GET ready” out with the hit single “Crystal”. On the Cover the German Schuspielerin Nicolette Krebitz was to be seen. Now bassist and singer Peter Hook communicated the renewed out for the volume. With the film festivals in Cannes the straight film “control” is shown, which acts of the Joy division singer Ian Curtis. There Peter Beddies spoke with Peter Hook.

WORLD ON-LINE ONE: In the Internet straight is violently debated: Is there new order still or does give it it no longer? Peter Hook: No, new order after 27 years dissolved.

WORLD ON-LINE ONE: Why that? Hook: Why should I tell calculated you that? That is one of the most painful points of my life.

WORLD ON-LINE ONE: Because the public would know gladly more about it. Hook: I cannot say so much yet about it. It is tremendously fresh everything. Now I sit in Cannes and on the canvas with death by Ian Curtis am confronted here. Anton found a mad young actor, ran down to SAM Riley, me it hot and coldly the backs. And now already chapter is written to end.

WORLD ON-LINE ONE: But such stories suggest themselves nevertheless longer. Hook: , From volume one is correct with could not speak already longer time new order any longer. We developed in completely different directions. It is not particularly spassig also, if one suddenly notices that one became 50, which passed last decades as in the flight and one has perhaps only a few decades. There one considers more thoroughly, what one would like to do. With me the resolution matured for a long time.

WORLD ON-LINE ONE: And if other further than volume liked to arise? Hook: Can they gladly do, but surely not as new order. We had the principle already with Joy division. If one of the initial members steps out, then the volume must give itself a new name.

WORLD ON-LINE ONE: Since it does not give both volume now any longer, we know perhaps once, which you in former times never made, about which not undisputed name talk. Hook: Does that interest still someone whether we wanted to make at that time fascist ideas popular? I legend you one, even if it may sound perhaps strange from today's viewpoint: We were incomprehensibly naively at that time. Both Joy division and new order were pure belly decisions. After then the rumors had become loud, we would be Fascho volume, had we each mark somewhat to be broken in to be able. That was considerable exerting.

WORLD ON-LINE ONE: In „control “one can make a fascinating journey back, into the time of the Sex Pistols and the awaking Punk. Hook: Seems to me, as if would be it miserablly for a long time ago. It is already correct that we were as electrified after the legendary concert of the Sex Pistols everything. There had which happen, and it also which is happened.

WORLD ON-LINE ONE: Where and when happens such a thing today? Hook: No more. This Pop music is nevertheless today wallpaper. I was letztens in an autohouse, and there, in order to apply a product, „for Life nevertheless really played desire “from Iggy Pop. I found that infuriating. Iggy in an autohouse. That stands for the today's time.

WORLD ON-LINE ONE: What will remain by new order Hook: We could set new trends, because we argued always intensively with us and the music. We were only rarely content. I think, it remain the spirit, something new discovering, create to want. And naturally some hits.

These things happen. Now I'm interested to know if Barney and Steve plan to continue together on a new project. Trying to imagine what it would be...hopefully something different than Electronic + human drum machine.

Time for Gillian to take up the bass.

Thx, Jim. I forgot to mention "Die Welt" is a serious newspaper, too. If they say, they have interviewed Hooky during Cannes directly, then they have spoken to him directly.

I'd have a go at it but there the gist is there already and I'm getting too tired and emotional.

I'd be only too happy to translate anything from German into English. You can always PM me.

Just read it, nothing we didn't already know in there, but always interesting to see confirmation in another paper, so thanks Norbert for finding it. Interesting as well to see the bit about the name change. Make of that what you will, theorists!

Julio...I was gonna say go look in a mirror...but then I decided that wouldn't be nice!!!

Sooo...from wikipedia...

Terms such as shower pocket, douchebag, d-bag, DB, doucherama, doucher, douche turd, or simply douche are considered pejorative terms in Australia, the United States, the United Kingdom, Canada and New Zealand. The slang usage of the term dates back to the 1960s. Initially, it was used to insult a woman, originating as an insult derived from lesbian activities. However, over time males have been the target receiver of the insult.

Yes, I think so, too. A bad human translation is better than the best one with a computer.

I don't see, if New Order continue, that they're going to change the name. They would loose a lot of money then. The record company, too. I can't believe, there is a contract between the members about the name of the band.

I'm glad he's against New Order existing without him, he just said maybe the others could have carried on with that name, but luckily he has come to his senses since then.
