I could listen to Hooky talk all day, and I suspect he'd be happy to do so. One of my all time bass playing heroes in two of my all time favourite bands, and such a genuine down to earth bloke.

I was a joy Division fan in the 80s as a teen and there was so much mystery abou their story. This was before Deborah's book and stuff. It's so nice to see Hooky talk like this. He talks so openly about the reality of what it was like. There's a lot less mystery but I could listen for hours to these details about these heroes of my youth! Thanks Hooky for being so open to talk

Peter seemed to really enjoy giving this interview - Grant obviously has a way to make the interviewee relaxed

Hooky, what a guy, a proper lad! Tony Wilson RIP 👍

Great interview Hooky......I love hearing your stories....I. Love the way you tell them....heartwarming

Great interview,l learned a lot. Earcom 2 is the only vinyl I ever bought as a tourist in England. It was Bernard Sumner who worked with Paul Haig and those recordings sparkle. Thanks for a fascinating post.

Seen him yesterday ...what a legend..I offered to give him a lift carrying some bags ...not sure if many ppl new how important this man is to the music industry and Manchester ....I did and Do ...

He seems like the nicest guy...would love to get guitar tips from him!

What a gentlemen. His playing style is so unique and the voice is great now!

'Autosuggestion' was one of the best Joy Division and Hannett ever did,, yet was 'given away' to Fast because it was an outtake and needed a home.

‘From Safety to Where’ and ‘Auto-Suggestion’ both have a fragility and even a levity to their sound that sets them apart slightly from most JD tracks. It makes sense that they were written in the studio right before being committed to tape.

Peter hook seems like a very down-to-earth guy without a lot of pretenses. With so much mystery & heaviness surrounding the band's history & music, it's nice to hear from a guy who you could talk to at the pub. JD is probably my favorite band since about 1980 when I first heard of them from The Fall when they came to California to play. Manchester sure had some great bands.

made history kid.

i had to go back and listen to safety to where and that is funny as hell

I want to hear that O.J./Josef K at Rafters cassette!

Hooky at his finest. Loved his take on Bernard's reluctant guitar input on "Safety to Where". Should hear him tell of stage bust up's like at The Electric Circus gig. You did not mess with Pete.

Legend

I never understood if Peter Hook liked Tony Wilson or not

Hooky, any chance of a beer with you.

always nuts ` bolts, but always inspiring

Uuuuuuuuummmm... and just to finish up!!!

Bob is your uncle..

Wobbly head

I have a knats willy in his book!! BUT calls me the drummer!! DAMMIT!! hahaha

Dour

Yea but let's just forget the fact that tony Wilson made a movie literally making fun of ian curtis and kicking dirt on his name, ian was a legend and tony was a damn joke, glad hes gone

Make songs to fund the hac and the pile of coke
