What don't they just change their name to New Order 2 or something similiar

I dunno !

Why should they have to?

HOOK QUIT. The band now has 4 of the 5 members who have been in it over the last 30 years. They ARE New Order, no matter what the Hook bootlickers around here whine about.

They should, New Order 2 is an excellent name,

When a football team sells a player they don't change their name

Rather than change the name of the band can't Tom Chapman just change his name to Peter Hook

The man is correct.

Hows about Bad Lieutenant 2?

Or better still Monaco 2...

Or even Hooky and the Boys 2.

Name change went out the window when Gillian was replaced by Phil a decade ago. How about everyone rest their spincters about this.

I know I'd be called a Hooky bootlicker (or worse!) but I agree with you both, it's time Hooky put this argument to bed and got on with life after new order.

Final Solution could be a good name

New Order Mark 3, lol

Bit like the Cortina Mark 3?

Brand new order..

I quite like New Order Now as a name. Maybe they should play As It Is And When It Was.....

Then Hooky could change the name of The Light to Peter Hook's New Order. Can't wait to hear Jack all over Death Rattle on the Shergold!

Agreed. They shouldn't have to change their name.

Which four out of the five members? I didnt realise either JD or No had five members?

Yet more ill informed judgement, but hey, what do you come to expect round these parts nowadays?

Joy Division disbanded, so to speak, 32 years ago. There's been 5 official members of New Order as we're assuming Chappy is currently only at hired hand status.

Let Petey keep JD and Barney keep NO.

Sorted.

JD - Curtis / Hook / Morris / Sumner

NO - Hook / Morris / Sumner - the original line up - just ask rob.

Phil Cunningham, you moron - or did you just miss the fact that's he's been on stage playing Gillian's parts since 2001?

Or they could market themselves as a Re: Order tribute band and call themselves Re: Re: Order... Or Re2: Order... I kind of like NewOrderNow... Up-to-date and alive rather than living in the past...

Does Steve know about this?!

Out of Order Sirens on Order New Shed Hey Now New Order Barney and Crew I've got a cock like the M1

Joy Division - Curtis / Sumner [Albrecht] / Hook / Morris New Order I (1980) - Sumner / Hook / Morris (that's what Hooky considers the real NO members apparently) New Order II (1980-2001) - Sumner / Gilbert / Hook / Morris New Order III (2001-2007) - Sumner / Cunningham / Hook / Morris New Order IV (2011-2012) - Sumner / Gilbert / Cunningham / Chapman / Morris

I wonder... what if Hooky and Morris both left and it would have left only Sumner and Cunningham in charge - would it feel right to call their ensemble New Order? Or what if Sumner left New Order leaving Hooky, Morris and Cunningham? Would that be ok to consider them New Order? Or are New Order simply Sumner + whoever?

If the question made sense maybe they'd think about it.

Lets also, not forget

NewOrderII.5 (1989-92, 1993-99) Sumner, Marr NewOrderVI (2008-2011) Sumner, Cunningham, Evans ABSOLUTELYNOTNEWORDEREVER (2011+) Sumner, Morris, Gilbert, Cunningham, Chapman
