minus keyboards, the one thing that they made interesting instead of copying hookys bass.

I've got a sad feeling that NO may never reform again. There's no Tony Wilson nor Rob Gretton to force the children to shake hands and make up. The kids will have to realize on their own that they need each other.. but I'm afraid they've decided to tell each other to sod off instead.

I'm just glad I caught them live twice since 2001, albeit sans Gillian as I was a little late to start tuning into them in 1994.

But if they do reform.. I'd advise them against trying to make any poptastic hits as Jetstream. I've always liked their songs when they weren't so obviously trying to Kraft a hit.

I agree that BLT in thier 60's would be a bit silly... imagine a Barney that needs reading glasses to see the prompter... but I would like to see them live just once... somehow whenever I have freetime, NO sod off... when ever I'm busy as hell, they makeup and tour....

So, what about the efforts he's putting into for Bad Lieutenant?

OK, I haven't been on these boards for a while, and last time I was, there seemed to be some question as to whether or not NO were officialy broken up or not. So, has something been announced recently (in the past year perhaps) to make this official?

I gave my dad a best of NO CD I made yesterday to see if he'd like anything on it, and he asked me if they were still together, and I stammered and stuttered, and said I don't think so, but I'm not sure...

I thought NO was all about innovation (and pinching great ideas from wherever they could)... maybe they're past it if they can't continue to do what they've been doing all along.

Upon checking the undead corpse that is NO these days, it's Stephen & Barney saying "No, we haven't broken up and Peter Hook saying so doesn't mean we agree"

Peter Hook "Fuck it, I'm out of here and never will work with Barney again."

I could be wrong.

Oy. Hopefully they'll all cool off at some point, though I'm not too hopeful of that.

DISCO.

Maybe should let it die but .. ....... DNE has to be one of their bessie tunes.

Then, there's these remasters, which might have something incl. that's as yet unheard in the general public. Haçienda '83 or '85 shows looked a great time, great versions. Although there is already 'Pumped full of Drugs released.
