Wow, well done to them for getting so much support without releasing anything.

Some of the comments on there may reveal how they managed it...

Nikolaj Steen Møller Didn't this page used to be called something else? Remind me...

Margaux Triplet same for me... Don't know anything about Bad Lieutenant...

Matthieu Houdebine Oh yes, it was New Order's page!! 38 seconds ago

Brian James L This was New Order. Bad Lieutenant is the "new" New Order.

Mikey Mutineer facebook have probably transferred all the people over that were on the new order fanpage to this one.

Francis Gading what is this?? never joined this group O_o 9 seconds ago

Colin Torr Is this anything to do with Harvey Keitel?

Nyssa Koring i'm leaving - want to be a fan of New Order, not this

Kellie Dillon No Peter Hook in this band

Michael Fowler This blows goats!

Confusion :eek:

I think I actually joined this group on porpoise.

I don't think I was ever in the New Order one?

Am I the only one who actually joined by choice then? :laugh:

I see AJ Wells has been making friends again on their wall!

This blows goats?

What the fuck does that mean?

Kids today :nonono:

You've obviously never blown a goat, Shug.

Bad Lieutenant has a not-unimpressive 1560 friends on Myspace.

I joined by choice, so I don't have any problems with the Facebook BL page.

They signed up everyone who was a fan of New Order without telling them then...

:laugh: :laugh: :laugh: That's pretty sad, their "wall" is just full of people swearing and taking the piss now. :rolleyes:

Why would anyone be SO desperate for online "friends".

:\ohwell:

I don't think it's actually them who runs it!

I think the person had a New Order group then just changed the name.

You know, I'm not naming any names or pointing the finger, or anyfink! :lol:

I'd love to say it's on ma things to do list, but bestiality should not be joked about......unless yer a sheepshagger from Kettering :nod:

As Al says, this sounds like a technical glitch, was Nicos not running the New Order site? Sounds like it's been switched.

Cannae get access tae FB as I'm not at home this week, but I'd really like to swear at the posters who are complaining.

Can someone do this for me please?

Tar.

The New Order page still exists separately though - so they can't have just changed the name of the existing NO group.

26 Aug 2009, 06:48

If they have been added without being asked, they could simply remove themselves from being a 'fan'.

I don't see how difficult that is. :scratch:

26 Aug 2009, 08:02

So they've borrowed a few fans then?

I like it.

Beats paying for advertising :nod:

:laugh:

26 Aug 2009, 08:49

I bet they'll all listen to it now out of curiosity.

No publicity...

Not this angry bastard:

Rui Santos Poor marketing. You've just alienated a probable fan

Never mind - what band wants a fan called Rui Santos anyway?

This today: Apologies for any confusion in regards to the merging of an unofficial New Order Facebook Page with the official page of Bad Lieutenant. Please see your updates for more information.

Wonder how Hooky feels about it :cry:

26 Aug 2009, 15:30

What do they say in the update that explains it?

Would like to see it and can't?

They (or someone on their behalf) said this:

Hey all.Apologies for any confusion in regards to the merging of an unofficial New Order Facebook Page with the official page of Bad Lieutenant.As Bad Lieutenant consists of some of the members of New Order, this action occurred in Facebook's internal process of cleaning up unofficial pages and was not instigated or approved by either New Order or Bad Lieutenant. The New Order page is still accessible at http://www.facebook.com/pages/New-Order/8879963727?ref=tsThe change was made unexpectedly and we only now have the opportunity to welcome everyone. Bad Lieutenant is – Bernard Sumner, Phil Cunningham and Jack Evans. The first single from their upcoming album “Never Cry Another Tear” is called Sink or Swim, and will be released as a free mp3 download this week. We look forward to everyone hearing it.Once again we’re really sorry for this glitch, and we’ll try and ensure it doesn’t happen again.

Bernard Speaks!

Just to let you all know I do read all of your comments. You are not speaking in a vacuum.

This is the first time this type of two way conversation has been possible between me, the band and you on a release, and I think it's good. Can't do it all the time of course, but for once I don't have to communicate exclusively through the press or the radio. What a revolution!

Being a singer / musician has up until now been a bit like being deaf and only being able to speak. You have always been able to hear me, but now I can hear you and it's a little strange, hearing things for the first time after all these years.

Thank you for all your positive comments, from it seems, all corners of the globe, and all shapes of people, it's very encouraging and makes it all seem worthwhile and real.

Of course we are thrilled, that you seem to like the first taste of our music and obviously hope you like the rest when it becomes available. I think it's a good album, we worked very hard on it, and look forward to seeing you in the analogue domain. (concerts) Hope you can join us!

Bernard Sumner. August 2009
