Steve Morris mentions this in the current MOJO interview. He says the band should address the matter (or words to that effect).

I think they've simply forgot about them

heady days

More songs, and more variety please. I like that the band do mix up setlists over time, and only 5-6 songs have remained as standards ("Temptation", "Bloo Mondae", "Toothache", "Bacon Lettuce Tomato", "Regret", "Ceremony" and "LWTUA" are the only ones they have played at every set of dates since 98). But would it hurt them to bring back "Touched", "Paradise", "Isolation", "60MPH", "Close Range", "Ruined In A Day" and maybe, sometimes, open with "Temptation" or "Blue Monday" for a change?

Probably Bernard forgot that he has an album named Technique. Oh Bernard, why are you such a lame ass. Can't you just rock out. Remember you' re in the rock n roll industry. Get out there and ......oh it's fruitless. And for those that don't like what I have to say, I give you a big Morrissey who cares( eff, eff, eff). Cheers, John

I think you missed the point of NO, lad.

If Bernard couldn't remember the album title all the way back in 89, doubt the autocue would save him now :\ohwell: All_The_WayBS: "This is er, All The Way, off, eh, our last album, which is called..."PH: "(laughs) Technique, Barn"BS: "Technique, yeah, thank you."PH: "See, what a fuckin' double act!"

In all seriousness though I'd love to see them give these tunes another go. Imagine a newer fine time? That'd actually be interesting to see, would be a great replacement for TPK or BLT on different nights.

Hey dumb asses, I'm quite aware of the creation and purpose of New Order(napkin thing). However, you still have to try reeeeeeeaaal hard at it and take nothing for granted. Bernard seems to have forgotten that among many other things. Douche.

Nope still not getting it. You seem to have mistaken NO for Bon Jovi or summat.

Explain "(napkin thing)".

See, you don't know the purpose, what kind of Brit are you? I will not do all the hard work for you. Must I carry your jock like Hooky has done all these years. Think about it, if Hooky wasn't on that stage showing how much he loves playing those tunes live then we would be forced to watched Bernaaaaaaard looking all woe is me bored. It would be like watching itunes for christ sake. Don't even try to be the contrary, cuz it cannot be done in this context.

Bernard stopped just looking at the floor back in the mid 80's, pretty much when he started taking shit loads of E and couldn't stand still if he had concrete boots on. I think in the early days when Bernard wasn't a confident singer he was happy for hooky to be the main presence on the stage, but as his confidence grew he wanted to be noticed, quite rightly as the singer in the band, this is probably one of the many problems between the two.

AWESOME MAN FUCK YEAH AUTONOMOUS... GO HOOKY!

Or something.

we sometimes do a pretty good job ourselves

Because Barney has his personality back that he had before 1988. He cannot relate anymore to the person he was in the Technique-period.

Why thank you. Any compliment is a good one. Your turn

Shall we bail you out again or defeat you again. Thanks again

eh?

What's stopping them from doing Fine Time or Round and Round live? If it's too difficult may be they could get the Chemical Brothers to guest in and do the tekkie bits. Would be awesome.

I'd love to see them do a non-single track like MR DISCO or DREAM ATTACK

The only valid reason, though the conspiracists will no doubt continue to look for more. I get the impression that they've given Stuart Price some kind of green light to do some reprogramming, as with 586. You never know what might be possible. (provided it's not in D and was written by Barney, anyway)
