Has the JOY gone?

Just a little thread to mention how for me the latest DVD offering has left me wanting the band still to be a going concern.This is the first time i feel almost underwhelmed that although there is some interesting LIVE footage it seems that it was too far in the past to be as INTERESTING unless another tour and piss up was on the horizon!My whole collection could start gathering DUST and that would be a shame.Maybe time to move on. Regards Rocket Mick

I'd humbly accept any donations from all of your collections

Get yourself to Krakow. I'll do ya a Barney dance to cheer you up

Looking at it from a slightly different perspective, is anyone slightly relieved (in the nicest possible way) that it's all over? Gigs at Butlins and the Here And Now Tour were looking a distinct possibility!!

As you said Mick, it was time to move on...

Eh?

And yes, I know it's a PSB lyric.

that's is why i quoted...

A couple of INTERESTING replies!Is that IT!

They will return. And I for one will gladly take another 10 Jizzstreams if it means we get another Crystal or Krafty out of them.

The JOY has been relegated to another DIVISION.

Start following System 7 Mick :)

as steve said in his interview our fans follow us through all the times good and bad,,,well they may be pissed off with each other, though the 93 neworder story reveals an interesting quote for the way forward ,new order dont have a clue or plan as to what they will do next..

so now i stand here waiting for the 4th coming.,,

please dont take our joy away.

Something had to give. Watching them stagger around to BLT in their sixties wasn't a pretty thought.

I hoped they'd have more longevity in the studio. It's likely they'd never have delivered another Low Life, but if there were a few more "Turns" or a "WFTSCs", I'd have been buzzed.

:\pimp3:

The "Joy" had vanished a long time ago.

I'm getting my "Joy" this year from Interpol, Editors, The Hold Steady, Holy Fuck, The Kissaway Trail, Maps, MGMT, Death Cab For Cutie, Ladytron etc etc. Nothing stopping anybody else from doing the same!

the Hives bring me joy, crazy swedes.

I don't know, I'm kinda used to the whole band breaking up thing.... I'm just glad to get three more albums out of them I wasn't expecting...

It's for the best they called it a day.Really.

Now it's over i'm going to ,erm, concentrate on my career

How bout you Mick?

And at least i have a friend for life in Digi Mike.Possibly

mY cAREER IS ON HOLD UNTIL THEY reform.dON'T TALK TO ME ABOUT diggy!

the joy was gone when curtis fooked off.

I didn't really see them touring too much longer, but studio albums would have been great, I agree. There is still a chance. I think they have a lot of great music still in them if they'd just let it happen.

Well, what a miserable bunch on negative bastards we have on NOL.

Fuck me, we may as well shut up shop now.

Will the last cunt to leave NOL please turn off this thread?

oNCE again.Thanks for your replies and i have decided to do some DUSTING after all.I'm on holiday soon but shall check in from time to time. Regards Rocket Mick

At least most of you had the chance to see them! I was born after True Faith, but i cherish every chance i get to play their songs. I never really listened to albums until PC&L, and it was amazing.

You trying to make us feel old or what, dude?

:\pimp3:

Don't fret Mick - The Cure are still going strong!!!!
