Note the pre-recorded vocals in the backround..

Are we to draw from this the conclusion that Bernard can be a tiny little bit difficult sometimes.. :angel2:

These are not pre-recorded vocals, they are sequenced backing harmonies, and backing harmonies have been sequenced since the late 80's. Listen to the Cleveland 1989 bootleg. You can hearly clear sequenced vocal harmonies on Round and Round, True Faith, and a few other tracks.

These backing harmonies are there because Bernard cannot sing in three different voices at once, and they are also there as a cue to help him stay in key.

And you think this a good thing? New Order was know for avoiding lipsyncing on TV and in videos, because it gets silly and lame. New Order was known for it's indie band background, refusing to conform to the cliches of pop rock and dadrock bands.

The recorded background is lame.

So why was he mad? The Autocue lyrics being in capitals sounds unlikely. Mad at Hooky for having his bass too loud? The backing vocals too loud? A heckler in the crowd calling him a fag?

the autocue in capitals was a joke someone made on here years ago, which some muppet took as true:banghead:

Think it was something to do with in band conflict, think we can guess who with!

New Order have been doing this since 1986, you know, when they were, in your eyes, still good. Ever listened to Paradise live?

I personally enjoyed that tantrum. It's up there with "turn off that light you cunt."

Interestingly, I took this picture of Bernard on his knees. It was at the Manchester Apollo in 2005. I didn't know someone had used it in a video.
