New Order drummer hits out at Disney Joy Division T shirt

“I was quite angry when I first saw it. No one asked us. They’re trading off the band and our album cover, but get away with it by apparently saying the design was ‘inspired’ by us. I don’t like the design at all. It’s horrible. I can’t imagine any Joy Division fans wearing it. Or anyone for that matter. Clearly, no one investigated the history of the band before coming up with this idea. It’s bizarre.” said Morris.

He does seem to be taking it harder than Hooky but then he is more of a t-shirt connoisseur.

Well you do get grumpy when you get older. After all, just read most of the posts on this forum.

Al - Please remember that Linus doesn't like the word 'cunt', even though Stephen is sounding like one.

Daffy?

Looks like this lucrative line of new merchandise for Disney has been nipped in the bud... Link...

Well he has but I agree with him on this (not just because of Joy Division element). As the article points out, there are twats everywhere wearing Ramones and Motorhead T-Shirts because they've been told they're cool irrespective of whether they've even heard of the bands. The fact that the musicians get no money from this is equally annoying.

Also, if it means I dont end up seeing Kerry Katona wearing a fucking Unknown Pleasures T-Shirt then he can be as stroppy and cunty as he likes

Shirley Daffy Duck's colour scheme is a blatant rip off of the Hacienda colours....

Or are we suggesting that Joy Division are paying the original photographer a fee everytime this is reprinted? I doubt they've paid any such fee ever, have they? Which is why I'm guessing they used it in the first place?

Hooky agrees with you, yes YOU, taken from NME..

And to be fair most of Saville's artwork is 'inspired' by exisiting works anyway, be it photos, paintings, typeface catalogues, etc.
