Is anyone on here a big fan of the band New Order? I've found most people on here have never heard of them and yet they are possibly one of the most influential British bands ever! Good basslines too...........................

He says that after 25+ years of music, people ALWAYS request this at concerts/his DJ sets and he hates it. He usually refers to it as Blue ****ing Monday.

I saw them play a secret gig in late 1980,* which was just after the death of Ian Curtis and one of their first as New Order!
It was in a small basement venue which was part of the Brighton Art College and there was no stage - I was standing a few inches in front of Peter Hook and the sound was phenomenal - tremendous intensity!
They played mostly Joy Division stuff - long before programmed keyboards and it was one of the best gigs I've been to! 
* EDIT - just realised this was probably before you were born!!

Good basslines too........................... | yeah i'm a huge New Order fan... well, up until Republic anyway.. don't think much of their stuff after that... for me their best period was in between 'Brotherhood' and the single 'World In Motion'... they didn't put a foot wrong

| | | | I was way into them (and Joy Division) back in the '80s. I don't listen to them as much now, but I still appreciate them. |

| | | i am huge fan!! and the latest stuff stands on its own.
and as for blue monday...well yes it has suffered from overplaying which is why i dont listen to it too often...but just occasionaly turn the stereo full on and give it a blast and suddenly it all makes perfect sense. |

Very strange.

peter Hook is one of the most inovative bass players ever.
In my book he's up there with Jaco, Entwistle, Jamerson & Stanley Clarke. Not in ability, but inovation. |

Before I heard some stuff by him, I thought I'd always play fingerstyle through a clean signal. And I never thought I'd take interest in a Yamaha, or a Gibson ES-335 style bass. But there you go. And I know if I'm ever going to get a chorus pedal, it's gonna be the same pedal he uses.
