@@rachel1205 So, you'd prefer that they ended up looking like the absolute embarrassment that The Strolling Bones have become, then...?! They certainly don't need the money & while they'll no doubt say that they still love playing, it's pretty bloody cringeworthy to see what they've now become on-stage, IMO...
Really enjoyed this conversation & as a fan since '85 I'm hoping to see New Order/Joy Division in the Hall of Fame & reunited with Hooky, if only for just one last time.
@@EditMSM I have a really cool story about that. We got to hang out in California with the band & sell merch & they let us video the shows. Great memories.
Saw them in 1988 in Manchester at the height of acid house era…absolute chaos. Then saw Hooky in 2018. Reminded more that New Order than this live version of New Order
Why? He was a founding member who had a massive influence on not only their music, but many other bands later. The interview was very benign and basically just shoulder-patting until he threw that question at them. He knew he had to. Peter Hook gave them that edginess to their sound that they would have otherwise lacked. They all gave something important to their sound and music, and like him or not, he was a key ingredient. Tom Chapman is a good bass player, I've heard him live, but he's his own musician. He doesn't play the same way, and it produces a different attitude. He's content to shy away from the spotlight on stage, but Peter Hook demands it. He was the only one who never let the Joy Division legacy be forgotten entirely in their sound. That's why he was mentioned, he's too important to their history and overall sound.
@@erikjleiken VERY well written comment, my friend!! I'm SO incredibly glad that I saw them at their near-best at Reading in '98...but I would NEVER wish to watch them now, between Barney's incredibly cringeworthy dancing & his grand-dad paunch, plus not one but TWO younger guys to cover the loss of Hooky...fuck that...
I think generally speaking Brits just mastered all band music if you think of the 60s and 70s too it’s really quite ridiculous how many of the big bands of each decade, genre and era are Brits. Even solo artists and one hit wonders, so many are Brits and nobody really knows 😂
@@raph6931 Phil joined New Order in 2001. Tom joined New Order in 2011. Tom was the last to join, not Phil. They are all equal, valuable, and talented members of the band. None of them should be treated as inferior just because they joined the band later than some of the other members.
New Order is my favorite band of all time. Tom and Phil seem like chill enough dudes but i am absolutely holding out a faint glimmer of hope that the original four will play together again at some point. I know Hooky has his reasons and i totally get it (from what an outsider like me can get anyways.) but he's definitely such an integral part of their classic sound. No disrespect to the band at all but Music Complete needed Manchester's viking on bass lol. Phenomenal record tho New Order forever!
Think before you speak, interviewer! Not cool. How many times are you going to put them on the spot? They were very kind not to tear a strip off of you.
Haha, Hook is still mad to get back in 😆 they'd be nuts to have him, he's such a loose canon. Love Bernard guffawing at the notion. And I agree with other commentators, disrespectful to Tom and Phil actually, they have a good clean setup for years now with no waves. Which they have earned the right to. Bernard is the man. Just my opinion, peace out kids. Only my opinion. Love you Bernard, see ye in Dublin in October.
@@Mitch93Hook is rude, he never got along with the other bands at Factory, I remember him in interviews years ago and he practically bragged about hating everyone else. Why would the rest of NO ever invite him back? I get tired of reading comments from his cultists actually. 😂
NO was able to put the Ian situation in a box, and are able to do that with Hooky too. If it were my interview, neither of those things would be mentioned. Think of it as art, not theatre.
Have to say Steve Morris looks well good for his age! I would love for hooky and New Order to just hug it out, become friends again just like I wished Morrissey would forgive Mike Joyce and Noel and Liam to become brothers again, life is too short for being bitchy and stubborn!
Talking about Peter, lots of folded / crossed arms which signals a person who is distant, insecure, defensive or anxious. Hostile feelings at this point in their late lives is kinda sad.. Swallow your pride and go to your grave knowing that you mad peace in your heart and soul..
Bernard’s arms were already crossed though. I think they are not really interested in the continued drama. Hooky is the one who wrote really disparaging things about the other 3. They may privately forgive but it’s hard to forget. Hooky is quite the character but is also a narcissist who never really got along with anyone else.
Hello, I would like to know if there's any way for us to be able to watch the "Bottoms' cast - SXSW Studio 2023" interview ? It's was available right after it was conducted but then that very video was removed from this channel for some reason a few hours/days after. Thank you
Not sure Hooky would have enjoyed the last album, and I’m not sure they’d have been able to make it with him in the band either. I do wish people would just drop the subject. Very bland interview by the way. “We’re Not Dead” should be the title of the next LP! Haha.
A big part of my life in the 80’s and some of the best records and gigs ever - and some of the worst gigs as well. But that was what made them so interesting you never knew quite what you were going to get when you went to see them. They had their time and, in my opinion, it was some time ago with Republic being the closer for me (see what I did there?) The Peter Hook issue was a sad sideshow replicated by many bands down the ages where one member suddenly believes they are bigger than the band and finds out they are not. Glad people still get enjoyment from them today but they are just old bezzards, talented nonetheless. Peter Hook & The Light on the other hand is just tragic, full stop.
got to say looking at barny he asnt aged well in the eighties he looked like a teenager to hooky looking like a thirty something now hooky looks likes 50 but barney looks like 70 ffs
I actually think both men look like mid-60s now, but agree that Bernard was so boyishly handsome as a younger singer that it’s hard to see him get older. The contrast is greater vs. how Hooky’s appearance hasn’t been so dramatically changed.
After watching the "question part" about Hooky, Stephen (again) seems to be such a kind and gentle guy. Like most of what I've seen of him. Not full of resentment. Bernard, not so sure. But it's their lives, legacy and band of course. Up to them. I'm a big JD and (older material-era) NO fan. I must say I do prefer what Hooky and the band are doing to what NO are doing to JD's legacy. Hook's vocals are way better. No doubt about that.
If Biggy smalls, or whatever his name is, is in after about, what, five years on the music scene and no true influence, then these guys are way over due!
And now Depeche Mode are down to two members.They lost me after Alan Wilder left in the mid nineties. He was my favorite member of the band. Then Fletch dying didn't help.
@@michaelwilson2340I miss Fletch (a founding member) more than Wilder. This business with the band died because someone left of their own choice is getting silly. The Rolling Stones didn’t cease to exist when Brian Jones died unexpectedly in the 60s. JD ended only because their manager told them to change the name and play their newer songs not the JD songs, then they became NO. Just saying.
@@ErinAbou With Wilder leaving their sound changed. And it wasn't the same. More watered down and definitely conventional. Plus Wilder was a proper musician and a studio boffin. More mature and professional. And Fletch didn't play an instrument or contribute to the songs other than saying what he liked or didn't like. It was to the point with the recording sessions for 'Songs Of Faith And Devotion' Alan became resentful because he was delivering the goods while Fletch sat around and would criticize, Gore would spend more time going out to the clubs, and Dave Gahan was in his room either shooting up or painting. And New Order were trying to find their own sound and not be "Joy Division ll" according to Stephen Morris. The Stones? I couldn't care less about them. Just saying.....
Hooky puede que no haya sido el que escribió más partes, musicalmente hablando en New Order, su aporte era justo al momento de dar ideas, pero al momento de componer sus líneas de bajo era un maldito loco, literalmente hay rolas que aunque las haya escrito Bernard, si hooky no les hubiera puesto su bajo (QUE SIEMPRE SUS BAJOS ERAN COMPUESTOS POR EL, NADIE LE DECIA QUE HACER) probablemente gran parte de la discografía de New Order no sería ni la mitad de reconocida y buena, Hooky es el alma y la columna de New Order, sin el la banda no creo que hubiera despegado cómo despegó
I absolutely loathe these Hooky bots comments, as if you've ever paid for New Order's records or concerts...I appreciate Peter Hook's work in NO and enjoy his book, but he hates the other members. One of the reasons I admire New Order is that they are a group of shy and down-to-earth musicians, whereas Hooky is completely the opposite.
the host is so ANNOYING and trying to get something very American out of this interview: "do this for the public", "hall of fame, wow", "hook story, reunite", almost a monologue where he had to check all the gossips and pushing the guys to say something for the rating/audience. I am so glad the guys avoided any stuff like that. Simply said: the guys were they, true to their style. ... and another thing people: get over the Hook subject. They had their things, the band moved on without him and sounded maybe better when I am thinking of Music Complete album. They/r not doing a reunite just for the public, they will do whatever they feel, this was always in their DNA.
@@erinmacdonald5433 99% of the time I avoid commenting, but this time I was somehow very annoyed by other fans and the host. Anyway, I am glad we e at least two who feel the same about this, although other comments can also confirm. Cheers!
I think the host was more a fan than an journalist and he was not intented to offend about the Hooky subject but annoying me *a lot* ppl just cannot overcome Hooky out ...He left almost *two decades* and ppl still saying stupid things like "NO ended when Hooky left...NO is nothing without Hooky". Some ppl never get tired tô be boring.
@@anapaulacarneiro4175absolutely spot on! It’s now been 17 years, it’s like the people still upset that Alan Wilder left Depeche Mode in 1995. Good grief! Hook seems happy doing his thing now too. I am tired of reading their nonsense on every video. It’s like a cult.
Is this irony? All Hooky does is perform a tribute act with the Light. What new music has he released since freebass which fell apart as soon as the album came out?
So sad seeing this interview and knowing all the NO fans efforts had meaning nothing and Joy Division and New Order still not on the RRHoF with the bands THEY inspired. This is annoying *a lot*. I simply cannot understand the names introduced
Which Ian Curtis? The one of 1979-80? Nope he would not have turned up. None of them would have, most likely. Ian in 2023? Who cares and if he would still be here on this planet, he would own a bookshop anyway.
I will quote Peter Saville. "New Order's band is now Bernard Sumner's band... and they are all the worse for it" I will put it another way. For someone who cannot sing and is awful at playing guitar, especially live, Sumner has way too much saying on the band.
I disagree (as a bass player). New Dawn Fades is about one of the best lead and rhythm guitar pieces I have ever listened to. As just one example. And I always liked Sumner‘s voice. Not so much so, when he sings Joy Division songs. But to be honest, Sumner I guess never felt comfortable being in the spotlight live.
Bernard Sumner wrote a majority of the songs, arranged almost all of them, wrote the lyrics, sings, mixes, produces, and is the frontman, yet never brags. JD and NO would not have been even half as good or successful without him--in fact, they wouldn't have existed at all. And it's his guitar that absolutely makes songs like Transmission, Shadowplay, Age of Consent, Regret, etc. etc. Don't forget he also played/plays keyboards, synths, melodica, programs, etc. Everyone contributes, but even Steve (amazing drummer) has said in his books that Bernard was always the main music writer and the most musical one of them all. No offence, but I'll take his word for it. And if Peter Saville is really disrespecting Bernard, he should be ashamed of it--it was Bernard who gave him the picture that made Saville one of the most famous graphic designers in the world. He makes a lot of money off of the Unknown Pleasures graphic that Bernard found and suggested for the cover.
@@erinmacdonald5433 Even Hooky admitted on some radio interview in the early 90s on radio 2 (it is on youtube somewhere) that until he formed Revenge he had no idea how hard it actually is to write and arrange songs and understood what Bernard had to do. You're spot on, it's been common knowledge for decades that Bernard was always the main guy in the band when it came to the music and later on the lyrics.
New Order is a great group and Peter Hook was a big part of it. .
New Order ended when he left.

I will put it another way. For someone who cannot sing and is awful at playing guitar, especially live, Sumner has way too much saying on the band.
Do you have a source for this? I’d be interested to read more
Thanks
I disagree (as a bass player). New Dawn Fades is about one of the best lead and rhythm guitar pieces I have ever listened to. As just one example. And I always liked Sumner‘s voice. Not so much so, when he sings Joy Division songs. But to be honest, Sumner I guess never felt comfortable being in the spotlight live.
Bernard Sumner wrote a majority of the songs, arranged almost all of them, wrote the lyrics, sings, mixes, produces, and is the frontman, yet never brags. JD and NO would not have been even half as good or successful without him--in fact, they wouldn't have existed at all. And it's his guitar that absolutely makes songs like Transmission, Shadowplay, Age of Consent, Regret, etc. etc. Don't forget he also played/plays keyboards, synths, melodica, programs, etc. Everyone contributes, but even Steve (amazing drummer) has said in his books that Bernard was always the main music writer and the most musical one of them all. No offence, but I'll take his word for it. And if Peter Saville is really disrespecting Bernard, he should be ashamed of it--it was Bernard who gave him the picture that made Saville one of the most famous graphic designers in the world. He makes a lot of money off of the Unknown Pleasures graphic that Bernard found and suggested for the cover.
Hooky is an even worst singer!! Bloody awful.
@@erinmacdonald5433 Even Hooky admitted on some radio interview in the early 90s on radio 2 (it is on youtube somewhere) that until he formed Revenge he had no idea how hard it actually is to write and arrange songs and understood what Bernard had to do. You're spot on, it's been common knowledge for decades that Bernard was always the main guy in the band when it came to the music and later on the lyrics.
Interviewer ,rude!
Possibly the most overrated band in the history of music...
