I believe that i am, for one reason alone. I have been listening to new order for 22 years now and i can truthfully say, that my music collection only consists of new order material.In the 22 years that i have been purchasing music I have not spent one cent on any other artists. Music to me is NEW ORDER. All other music to me is just a noise, it causes my brain great pain. Is there anyone out there who has not spent one cent on any other music apart from new order?, and i mean one cent or what ever you currency is.

Wow that is very COOL!I am - because I wrote and told them so in about 1985 when I was 16 (never got a reply that time mind you).
I pointed out in my letter that I contributed in no small way to their gold discs from New Zealand. At the time they only had em from Ireland and New Zealand. Also pointed out that they should release their f'ing 7"s in NZ. They did release the Paradise Remix for True Faith only in NZ/OZ. Quite clearly it was me, me, me who caused that to happen.
Buying other music I think helps give an appreciation of NO and its good to have some variety. But I am embarrased to say that I have listended to New Order most days in the last 18 or so years.
Mickey, I think that is sad! I don't like to go without my daily dose of New Order, but that doesn't mean there aren't any other good bands to listen to. Hope your mrs is a bit more broadminded or have you brainwashed her?
Well perhaps not the greatest fan but it should certainly come into one of a category of superlatives but I can't just think which one at the moment. Very impressive though. Most blindly devotional?
I agree with Ger, you gotta listen to other music to broaden and open up your mind, and of course to make you realise just exactly why NewOrder are the best band out there!

I thought everyone here thought Joy Division were the greatest band ever, no?! ;)

My wife gave me electronics Twisted Tenderness cd, i think its one of barneys best works. Does that count as not New Order?. I've started to make progress in the brain washing department.
Originally posted by Andy T Perhaps New Orders most narrow-minded fan.
I pay good money for my psycho therapist to tell me that. Maybe i should just ask you why i'm so F***ED up.

But now i'll tell you something i think you should know You just can't believe me when i tell you what NEW ORDER means to me.

Er, is it because you live in Cairns and it's so bloody remote?
Some human interaction could work wonders for you!

Some human interaction could work wonders for you! I lived in Sydney for 30 years. Parasites, some people refer to them as humans, nearly ate me alive. Any more theories.

Sorry, but Sydney's still fairly remote! ;)

Sorry, but Sydney's still fairly remote! ;) So what are you trying to say? That it's time to leave the colony.I like that theory.:)
On here, there are a few scary members, but there isn't many like Al Jarvis.. touring everywhere with the band.. he even wrote a book about it, so :D
(As for the Underfoot comment, I didn't read the messages, need to go to work)

I assure you I never wrote a book about New Order! They were just a tiny facet of said piece.
Dave Molyneux has to take the biscuit - he must've seen the band more times in the US than all the collated US fans who post here. And he did it all in the 80's. I've never had to scrimp and safe, most of my trips have been done in relative luxury and with a few bob in me pocket.
One thing that always intrigued me was lads who would have a New Order tattoo about their person. It's one thing knowing that you like this band for NOW, but being marked for life is a totally different kettle of fish entirely. That seems like one step too far for me, especially when you consider some of the Blackburn Youth actually had tattoo's of song titles, which seems just a little too 'ardcore again. It's one thing liking the band, but even going so far as to pick out a favourite song - that's a little extreme!

Then i can honestley say, Al Jarvis I envy you.
Yeah, I'd love to know what's in the head of people who get autographs tatooed on themselves... 
Anyways, personaly I don't like tatoos, but well, it's up to anyone.. but an authograph? come on ;)
I'd be scared of such people if I was one of the band members..
not me,
cant really stand them anymore..
but the old stuff is ok..

Then why don't you, Al? New Order have been very unfortunate so far in the book's department, there is a good biography of the band still wanting to be written and also a fictional account of the period would be fascinating. Think about it!

I believe Mr Molyneux has started putting his thoughts together.
And I know a lad in Stirling who wants to get this project off the ground.

You spend a helluva lot of time and effort dissecting New Order across many forums for someone who 'cant really stand them anymore', oh Negative One. ;)

Sounds interesting, it could be called "On the piss with New Order"

did you ever notice that i never talk fondly/positively of anything past 'touched by the hand of God',
there's a reason for that (and the fact i haven't really listened to them/taken them seriously) in the last, oh say, 15 years..

I thought John Denver was the biggest fan!!!
until he met his untimely demise that is...
or maybe it's Tony Wilson...
wow, you have to listen to more music than new order. as great as they are, there is so much more out there--that is completely relevant to the now. .yeah.

Name me another band that can make you feel GLAD,SAD,MAD AND BAD IN 6 minutes.I just might listen to it. Grell, are you on the heavy drugs yet?

hmmm. not sure what you mean by the heavy drug usage comment. 
don't take my comment as a personal assault, as it was not. NO is one of my all time favourite bands(if not my favourite, that title could be usurped by JD though), so its not as if i *don't* relate to the feelings evoked by their music. simply put, there is other music out there that is exciting etc. and it could be worthwhile to search it out, sorry if it came out as arsehole-ish. and of course i can't recommend music that compares to NO. :)
