And, yes, we did. I only come on this thread to assess the mood - I have long since given up on my longtime bass hero. Enough said.

The band would no longer be functioning with him there anyway, based on his sentiments. What's frustrating for me is that he is trying to make it difficult for New Order (and their fans) to move on. They don't appear to be hindering him in his endeavors. He quickly needs to come to the realization that this will only continue to cast him in a bad Light.

Does anyone know if there actually is a lawsuit? Is there a way to look this up? There is one Freebass track I like, and I can't remember which one. I will go find it. Bernard looks damn good in that vid. The Hooky stuff is really sad...

I gave up reading all the ITWs he did for 4 or 5 years. It's always the same jealousy. He should go in hell!

The 14 twisted tenderness songs offer more listening pleasure than both hook and waters combined

To criticise her for that is immoral. Phil C was in Electronic's 1998-1999 lineup and was chosen by Johnny, and then joined New Order around 2000 so, for a brief period, the band may have been a five piece with Phil and Gillian. Then Gillian left. Hooky's been reminding me of the abusive husband who threatened his wife with leaving her too many times, and told her "You'll never cope without me!". When he left, he may have expected her to capitulate competely and beg him to return. Which didn't happen. Now he's the guy who's found his ex- has somebody new, whilst yelling at strangers that "SHE'S MINE!". These blog posts are actually embarrassing, and actually cost him in terms of reputation and how he is percieved by some of his most once-loyal constituents. No one can deny The Light are a great night out and a good live prospect. But every year Hook performs his nostalgia museum is a year I don't get a new record by a quite talented but furious bass player. He got beaten to the punch here, and it's not as if New Order rushed it : Hook could've come out with a Light album anytime in the past five years... and totally stolen New Order's thunder in the 'new album' stakes.

I know 'Restless' is not the strongest song on the album, but how can he get the impression that everything/everyone but Bernard is in a backing role? Quote: The whole song seems programmed to within an inch of it’s life His ears must be different from mine; Restless doesn't sound programmed at all. Quote: I feel sorry for the fans… waiting 10 years for some material with our name on it and getting presented with this? There are quite a few fans (and even critics and reviewers) who enjoy the album, generally speaking. Has Hooky written any new material (besides Freebass)? I don't think so. All he's done for the past 7 or 8 years are JD/NO album gigs, DJing (or what appears to be it), talking about the Hacienda, Joy Division, and New Order's past. If Hooky can write new material (preferably an album) and get better reviews/opinions than Music Complete, then he has a point. But until then, he should keep his mouth shut. Quote: The guy is a fucking moron as well as a liar (allegedly;) it’s time you knew the truth and I will write to MOJO and provide the proof. It's not classy to insult people in public like that. In this blog post he said he'll write to Mojo, and the newest blog post (posted in that other thread) shows that letter, but how could he think Mojo would bother to publish that drivel? Quote: My wife keeps telling me off, telling me to stop, to focus on how much I enjoy what I do now and not take any notice of the others. His wife seems to have more sense than him. Quote: They should be boycotted by every New Order Fan…they do not deserve your support. They are Thieves…’Thieves like them’ hee hee;) He has no right to tell fans what they should think about the new New Order. Let us fans decide for ourselves if they are New Order or not, and if they are worth supporting.

Who would put money on these leaking to Hooky and him whacking a load of “trademark” basslines over the top? As much as this feud is painful to witness – that would be a genuine stroke of wind-up genius!

I guess one approach will be that he says it doesn't 'sound like New Order' in places, as some tracks are a departure. I worry a bit for his mental state after this one - and he has been caught totally wrong footed after his comments on Restless.

I see him quite regularly around Alderley Edge as he lives close to the village centre whereas Bernard is a short car drive away. Outside of his bitterness towards NO I always find him a very pleasant guy who has time for anyone who approaches him. Its a real shame he took the approach that he did.
