Speaking as someone who is (much) older than the internet , this is the sort of thing I appreciate most about it . I would never have been able to hear this interview and so many others that I've enjoyed but for the kind people who post these gems . Thanks for sharing !
Hooky is a brilliant writer too. Reading his book Unknown Pleasures: Inside Joy Division was like sitting down and sharing a pint with him. Couldn't put the book down
It's so sad that people feel they have to choose sides. Even sadder is the fact that eventually when they get older they'll probably look back and thinkā¦.what the fuck did we do that forā¦what was all that aboutā¦the things you do in this life are usually given their worth by the people you share them with and yet people can fall out over the stupidest of things (normally brass and egos)ā¦..shame. Great Bands all of them !
I saw both the New Order show and the Peter Hook show within 6 weeks of each other....New Order was good....Hook show was great, the best club show I have seen in a decade
Peter is Sooo much cooler, and more pleasant sober. Guess most people are, but some more than others. Met him five times..3 while he was a Boozehound and 2 sober..very cool chap.
Have seen New Order many times between 1982 and 1990. Then saw the current New order line up in 2013 ... great sound but same songs you always expect from them. I've also seen Hook live twice (2011 - Unknown Pleasures) and 2013 (Movement and Power, Corruption, and Lies). Hooky was true to the original recordings and managed to get a great sound! Can't wait to see the Low Life/Brotherhood show in 2014 November in Toronto.
