Truth? Rumour?

Only #2 constitues absolute Neworder but I'd be happy to watch any of them, particularly now Gillian's back.

Notes: Doesn't take into account numerous spats/breaks or occasional part-memberships. Term 'Dadrock' is used jovially.

I've been recently told by someone in the industry that NO had secretly re-formed and was in for a new album and a tour next Spring. Is that all bullshit or are they really hiding their cards well?

Or version 6 if you include the brief period between Gillian leaving and touring with Corgan [essentially the 1.0 line-up]

Sorry couldn't resist

You might vey well, yes but I judged Billy to be a guest, not a member.
This is why I took care to say "approx" - I am aware of my peers on here! :D

Man, they all dressed so terribly in this period.

Great fun to come back 3 days later and read the whole batch of comments in chronological order...

Cheers for the info, Archi. Although i do suspect you being in Paris might have given you a heads up, sir.

You could have been right, but in this occasion, I've been informed by chance in the mountain highs. It was a real question, though, as I had been told no date for the event. So it's quite funny they announced it 2 days after my post.

All Steve is missing in that picture above - judging from his posture - is the maraccas.

I know Barney beat him to it in late 1988 on TOTP, and all that.....
