I think this article is a bit misleading.
It's headed 'Peter Hook: 'I'd like to sort things out with New Order'', as if he's made a bold statement to the band.
But he actually said "maybe someone should sit us all down in a room and play us this album together and go, ‘Why the fuck are you arguing like this when you did this?’":
https://www.nme.com/musi...vision-interview-2764149I don't think that the above is really him making a bold statement and saying he wants to 'fix things'. I think it's more that he just said something off the cuff, and the NME have run with it.
That being said, I'm sure he'd jump at the chance to be back in the band. But that's ship's well and truly sailed.
Let's imagine that Bernard wanted him back (not likely, I would imagine), the bad blood it would generate in the band would likely tear them apart for good.
Even if S&G were to go along with it (they're amiable types after all), I would imagine that there'd be a fair bit of resentment not only towards Hooky, but also to Bernard for allowing this toxic situation to happen.
You know, I've said this before, but my major problem with Hooky is his treatment of Gillian. I believe he probably has some valid points re some of his gripes (and some invalid ones too).
But dismissing Gillian in the way that he has, rankles me.
I believe that he's not only 'made his bed', he's shat in it as well. And I think he knows that.
