I wonder what sort of age mix is out there amongst all the contributors/viewers. There are those that have caught on since Get Ready, and others who have actually seen Joy Division!

I have been a NewOrder fan since i saw them performing "Blue Monday" on "Countdown" in 1983. I remember it because Peter Hook was using bowling pins on his drum machine, it fascinated me and i have been a fan ever since.
36 and hooked since buying Unknown Pleasures off my brother for 50p in November 1979. Bargain of a lifetime !

Originally posted by Lebeau Matthieu It could be a poll. How many people have seen Joy Division in concert ?
Moi
I am 33. The first white hairs are frosting the sides of my head and I do not recover from hangovers as fast as I used to. On the bright side now I work and have enough money to follow New Order around.
Never saw Joy Division live and probably would not have liked them back then anyway.

Yeah, the "big 30" is going to be a black day next year for Marco, but one thing's for sure...Marco won't be sober on this certain date

It ain't that bad - you'll get over it. Some of us have four-oh to look forward to :barf:

guys, don't worry about 30...it's not so bad...i just turned 30 this year and thought it would be a big deal...it's exactly the same as being 28...or 32...

And still living with your parents as I've heard in many reports... 
I´m 26 and a fan since 1986. yes I was only 10 years old and already knew the good things in life! 
Originally posted by Ben Aspinall I'm 15, been a New Order fan since the summer when I downloaded "Blue Monday".
I'm 15 too!
Er, stone.
I'm turning 21 in about two weeks, the box set is out on 12th, and Christmas is just around the corner. Decemeber will be good, very good.
Not quite as old as Rocket Mick, I just turned 41, and it isn't nearly as bad as I once would've thought Yeah, I've been a NO fan since the beginning.
Jim Gilberto, who is also 41, (where are you Jim?) did a thread on this, and I believe that he tabulated the results some time back, but there've been lots of new members here since.

Seriously Mrs Snucker, you are the living proof 3 40-something bastards can bring new fans to like them with an evident lack of promotion :D
Interesting results so far. Looking at the numbers, I'd say many of you in my age group (I'm 33 my wife tells me - alzhiemers you see) were turned on in their mid teens during the Blue Monday period??? I can remember going apeshit over New Order and collecting all their stuff starting around '83 and even then thinking to myself, "I wonder how long this madness will last". Well here I am...
