Bad Lieutenant are better than new order

you read it here first - tonight at heaven they were sublime.

barney had a whole new lease of life.

who would have guessed.

Cos it's a quiller quiller NIGHT

Never seen New Order before but I can safely say that the Heaven gig was one of the best gigs I have ever been to. I'm loving the rocked up sound they seem to be going for.

You have seen the LIGHT

SHUT UP!,SHUT UP!, YOU SHUT YOUR MOUTH!!!!

AAAAAHHHHH!

I have to say that while the thread starters comments are a load of old bollocks (He forgot the first seven shit songs), BL were tonight a good £20+ quid well spent.

Are they fuck...

Bad Lieutenant songs = lukewarm reception.

New Order songs = cheers and people moving.

Yup, that we all realise - still doesn't make BL better than New Order...

"better received" does not necessarily mean "better"

i love new order, but the first half was enjoyable precisely because of the absence of their songs and the brilliance of the new material which was played with a verve and engagement which was largely missing from later NO performances.

all imho of course

They're not though, are they? Especially considering that you were there tonight, so you, of all people, should realise the New Order stuff was infinitely better received than the Bloot stuff.

I fcuking loved tonight though, when all is said and done. Such a fantastic crowd out for the boys and wonderful drinks before and aft.

The band ain't all that though. They're a backdrop for folks to have a good time, and that's their limit, sad to say.

Also, someone deserves shooting for that BLT acoustic debacle. That was just fucking shit.

They won't be a back drop for me when I go see them in Chicago. Not everyone has gotten to se Barney and Steve play live 20 times like some of the people here at NOOL who are fortunate enough to A. Be old enough to have seen New Order play on more than one tour and B. Live in the UK or Europe, where they played a lot more than America.

Whatever you think about BL...Bernard Sumner and Steve Morris are two of THE most important and influential musicians of the past 30 years. I couldn't believe I was going to see them play in Chicago on 2005 (and the Chicago show was probably the best out of the four they did in the US that year) and I can't believe I am going to get to see them play again in a month, in a small club no less.

zach there are people in the uk that have seen them in america more than you have - they made the effort to follow the whole tour, nothing to do with being based in europe/ the uk

Look, here they are! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rZaBxAGBAJw

Right. Well, I just don't have the financial means to fly overseas just to follow my favorite band tour. And in the past ten years New Order did roughly 8 shows in America, compared with, uh, well, more in the UK and Europe.

Anyways...

SUMMER DAYS ON HOLIDAY Live in London.

sprouts are better than chips. water is better than beer. abstinence is better than sex. bad lieutenant are better than new order.

All complete bollocks

having seen all the versions of joy division that have evolved out of em all i can say is that the sound contiues to evolve, love the c.d and love the songs more for a live airing,, in 10 years time it will b play sink or swim bernard. and yes like the line about bernard being given a new lease

and then again the same old story

Re:Order are better than New Order! ;)

As for the fact that the BL stuff wasn't as well received as the JD/NO stuff that doesn't mean that the BL stuff is crap. First off the album hasn't been out that long and people were probably not that familiar with it and its obvious that classic NO/JD would make the crowd go ape. And from where I was people seemed to be enjoying the BL stuff, especially Dynamo and Sink Or Swim.

Last night sort of reminded me of an R.E.M. gig I went to last March before Accelerate was released. The setlist featured a fair amount of stuff from Accelerate but as very few people had heard the stuff despite the music being great it didn't really get people going whereas the old classics did.

I think the BL album is a sort of either love it or hate it thing.

The BL stuff may not have been better received because most people there are unwilling to accept that there has been a change, it has little to do with how good the songs are etc etc.

The album's great and I want to see them play that rather than JD/NO stuff. Leave the past where it belongs and step into the present folks.

Ah so that's it...

BAD LIEUTENANT are like MARMITE

They cum in jars

Cool to see, nice one

Phil still plays his guitar like he needs to go to the loo

And who's doing that 'great' extra vocal, some viking? Jeeezzzz :)

This thread

BL better than NO, what an insane thing to say. NO one of the most important bands of all time (to me the most important) and BL are OK. Bit of a difference.

Great to have BL to go an see live and I;m looking forward to tonights drinking and having fun at their gig, but is there really a BL song better than Crystal, temptation, BLT and even WFTSC - answer is no. But I still enjoy the BL album

I agree with that. I'm glad that they're bringing the sequencers though. If they're going to do it, they may as well make a good job of it.

I'm going on the stage tonight, I've just decided. During the acoustic version of BLT.

I'm going to unhook the bass strap and kick the autocue over.

What they gonna do? No Hooky, no Sarge.

Crystal, Temptation and BLT are 3 stone wall classics that I wouldnt really expect to easily bettered.

WFTSC, on the other hand, is (IMO) worse than Home, Summer Days, Sink or Swim, Dynamo, Runaway, Running Out of Luck, How Long, Split The Atom, Twist Of Fate.
