Nobody can really replace Hooky on those tracks as we're so used to his style, volume and growling stage presence. Both live and on record he's obviously irreplaceable but NO aren't a functioning entity at the mo so I suppose as fans we make do hearing these tracks live where we can and BL are currently providing. Even those fans who aren't that fond of the BL album have enjoyed the live performances. It's obviously not NO so why even bother to compare? Some people seem properly outraged BL even dare to exist whereas I see them as something totally separate to New Order. I wouldn't compare them at all as they're not the same band for very obvious reasons.
I'm sure the BL bass lad can live without your forgiveness as well, Chris
well stated.
Bad Lt signed me the booklet of the Album at the Meet & Greet:

It was nice to see many Noolers from the UK, Belgium, Holland, Denmark and Germany.
No NO, but great to see half of them in a smallish (and half empty) venue. The BL tracks are good enough for a good show. JD/NO/Electronic/CB-tracks are a very nice plus. I really enjoyed the show. Barney was in good form, the rest of the band played really tight. Nice and friendly pit action too. Keep it coming!
Good to meet up and be able to put some names to faces. BL were much better than I was expecting. Learned a new trick about competitions from EJ too. They could probably have played at Knust OK, which being tiny would have been rammed n more fun.
Review in the Hamburger Abendblatt: Summary: Memorable Appearance of Bad Lieutenant - New Order was yesterday. The future belongs Bad Lieutenant.
Der neuen Band von Bernard Sumner (Joy Divison) gehört die Zukunft - auch wenn es in der Markthalle kaum einer merkte.
Hamburg. Da gibt es etwas umsonst und keiner geht hin. Die Beck's Music Experience verzeichnete 10 000 Anmeldungen über die Website, von denen ein Bruchteil eine Zusage per E-Mail erhielt. Viele Gewinner sind am Freitag nicht in die Markthalle gekommen. Verpasst haben sie eine denkwürdige Live-Performance von Bernard Sumners neuer Band Bad Lieutenant.
Bernard Sumner, Sänger und Songschreiber von New Order und der Dark-Wave-Legende Joy Division, kam früher gerne unvorbereitet auf die Bühne. Diesmal ist es ihm und seiner neuen Band inklusive drei Ex-New-Order-Mitstreitern ernst. Doch die Technik spielt nicht mit. Der Gesang von Sumner und dem jungen Gitarristen Jake Evans ist kaum zu verstehen.
Doch die Songs von Bad Lieutenant überstehen das technische Desaster. Lieder wie "Summer Days" oder "This Is Home" erweisen sich als solide, tanzbare Britpop-Hits. Bei den New-Order-Klassikern "Crystal" und "Temptation" sowie dem Chemical-Brothers-Hit "Out Of Control" herrscht endgültig Ausgelassenheit vor der Bühne. Zur Belohnung erklingt sogar noch die Joy-Division-Hymne "Love Will Tear Us Apart". New Order war gestern. Die Zukunft gehört Bad Lieutenant. (asti)

The most alarming thing is the time of the day. It was from the soundcheck at around 3 pm GMT. :D

I just dont think they really should be playing NO/JD tracks. BL stuff should stand on its own anyway. They're very good live from what ive seen on youtube. Yes NO playing JD is acceptable, but BL is just too different a band to be playing JD/NO and will not be the same without Hookys Bass ever. They should concentrate on promoting their own stuff which is very good...

Cover bands up and down the land probably play JD/NO tunes every week. Being irked at a live outfit comprised of half of Joy Division playing those same songs seems a bit picky shirley? It's a wee bit naive to expect they won't touch on a few crowd-pleasing classics at this stage in the game. To be honest and from witnessing the "Out of Control/Temptation" medley twice I'm glad they did! ![]()
Also the BL stuff has been standing on it's own as pretty much all of the gigs so far have been showcasing the Never Cry Another Tear material to be roughly 70% of the set. Even Tighten Up's been welcomed despite the fact it's played at roughly 200 mph ![]()
Loads of NO fans including meself misses Hooky in the mix but these BL live versions are by no means crap, just different. We'd all rather see Hooky on bass but a NO reformation probably won't be happening for the foreseeable as has been stated in the musak press numerous times.
Would be nice if that suddenly changed of course ![]()

Thx for not pushing away and that you liked it. They played more on the soundcheck than in the FNAC in Paris.

Any pictures of silicone on the same memory card?
From the Beck's Photograph. He took only a few pictures from the M&G, none with us.

Somebody tell Mr. Sumner to quit wearing the glasses...I thought it was Tony Wilson for a brief moment...

They haven't got a Panasonic until now. They said it can be take six weeks until the get them. I will take a look on it. Becks had a professional Photograph, but he did only a few pictures. :(
