No more Order: Manchester pop legends split
- Artists:
- New Order »
- Jane's Addiction »
Manchester pop outfit New Order have broken up, according to bass player Peter Hook.
Hook told Xfm that the band's time is up, adding that singer Bernard Sumner and he aren't working together any more. Hook will now work with Perry Farrell on the Jane's Addiction man's new Satellite Party project.
Hook said:
"I spoke to Perry, and he asked me to play bass, as he'd heard about New Order splitting up. Well yeah, me and Bernard aren't working together. Bernard went off for a break with Electronic, but that was different. But it's like the boy who cried wolf this time."
Is it? In what way? Oh Hooky, you mental old bass-lugging wide-legged man, you.

bf
shamen't
aah well
good innings.
it's a shame that
went to watch them a couple of years ago and they played a full Joy Division set which was fucking ace (especially Atmosphere and Warsaw), but still a bit gutted i won't get to get loaded and go and watch a full New Order set. Guess they were a bit too old for all lhat now anyway, and the last album was pretty pap. Ta Ta then......
and by lhat, i meant
that
jesus christ
theyre shit and all now, but i thought theyd ALWAYS be there
I really don't care
New Order have never really done anything for me.
no
great loss. it's been downhill all the way since 'Power Corruption and Lies'
A great shame
One of the great legends of 80s electro-pop. Blue Monday and True Faith are among their legacies. Siren's Call was a bit of mess but Get Ready had some great songs.
i'd say it's the end of an era
but they've not done anything much cop since "Republic", apart from the single "Crystal". still, here's hoping at least them splitting up gives people the idea to go and revisit all their fantastic 80s singles.
I'm suprised...
to learn they're all still alive.
one of the best bands ever.
end of story.
as much
as I've always loved their early output, thank fucking god.
At fucking last.
They were the best band in Britain for about a decade from "Temptation" to "Regret". Everything after that is shit.
They 'split up' all the time.
Hooky & Barney are like old women who are always arguing. On my (very rough) count this takes it to double figures the amount of times one of them has said this in an interview.
Give it 18 months they'll be back.
Now, Rev....
....you're making me cry.
NO were ace/are useless
Sorry, but good.
They were a fucking embarassment.
"Luuuurve, luuurve will tear us apart, again/COMEAWWWWWWN!"
Fuck off, you sad, fat, wheezy, awful, geriatric midget.
boring
good riddance
^HILARIOUSLY WRONG^
"Ian Curtis? Yes, he was a TWIT. And a GAYLORD to boot."
Well, alright, he was a bit of a misery guts. Rather him than Bernard Blubberhands, though.
all the critics who slayed waiting for thesirens call were such hypocrite cunts..
they were probably listening shite klaxons or the kooks demos which nobody will remember in 2 years time. stop bashing them, go and read history, respect. closing track of "sirens call" ? great lost single.
and "get ready" wasnt shit.
at all.
