I'd urge anyone who hasn't seen Peter Hook and the Light to try and get to one of their gigs, absolutely brilliant, felt like a religious experience at times. Hearing Love Will Tear Us Apart sung like a football chant by thousands of people is a glorious life affirming moment!

I saw Peter Hook and the Light at the Commodore in Vancouver BC last year. Easily the best of the 20 odd shows I went to last year, and one of the top 5 I've ever seen. If you have the opportunity to see Peter you really should.

Went to see New Order last night. Barney happiest he's ever been. Far better presence on stage. Hooky was just a pain to work with. Now doing 2 plus hour gigs. Hardly missed Hooky being there. People like he's the only person who can play a bass guitar. Crowd loved them. Good reworking of Joy Division songs too.

Having now lived in Asia for 30 years I was out of the loop that Peter Hook has gone solo. Problem is, New Order without Peter Hook is like a whiskey soda without the whiskey. This mans ability to make a bass guitar sing is unchallenged. Sheer brilliance. Sorry to hear they have split but thrilled to have been influenced by them as a teenager.

quite a few times when New Order released a new 12 inch in the early days i would go looking for it and i would struggle initially to find it until i realised that all I had to do was look for the sleeve that didn't have either the band name or the track name on it anywhere easily visible and that would be their new record

Hooky mentions the fact that the Blue Monday sleeve lost them money - i would have thought that it was registered amongst followers as a "piece of art" that has been well revered for long past that singles loss. Its probably a contributing factor to the fact he still has a career and immense respect today.

@Eightball69 Жыл бұрын

That story isn't true (Steven Morris goes into it in his books) but as Tony Wilson once said if it's a choice between the truth and the myth, print the myth. If they actually had lost money on every sleeve, they'd have been bankrupt in 1983 rather than 2003 or whenever London records bought them

@jazztheglass6139 6 ай бұрын

The very first Orchestral Manoeuvres in the Dark record album also had multiple cutouts in a diagonal formation, its a turquoise blue cover showing the orange inner sleeve. Pretty sure Peter Saville designed it. It was pretty eye catching in 1980

Up to and including Technique, they were brilliant. Yes, they got older and richer and the edge went off of them but even then there were still some fantastic singles and album tracks. Happens to a lot of bands though. Output tails off. But what they did as JD and NO from 1978-1989 was just superb

Saw PH & Light at Rebellion '22. They stole the festival, plain and simple. Have seen NO several times. Kept hoping each time for a great show. Always mediocre, unfortunately. Even put me to sleep back in the 80's and I was sober - not any substance to blame, if you don't mind the pun. Thank you Peter for your awesome skills and new inspiration. Looking forward to seeing you again.

Hooky is proud of what he achieved with the Light and their amazing rendition of JD and NO songs considering ever declining Bernard who barely sing in tune and is the embarrassment to their legacy. Tell Bernard to retire, Hooky Even Stephen Morris is hiding behind the drums and pretends he is not the member of the band. Peter absolutely has no reason to play with his old mates again as he is doing much better than them. Now, hoping Hooky and David Potts will write new songs. It is the missed opportunity to have two great songwriters in the band and played only old songs.
