Are you seriously suggesting Hooky hasn't been playing live over the last couple of years? Laugh

After Freebass it's probably advisable that he doesn't "rest his fat arse in a recording studio."


So Jailbait thinks Hooky doesn't play live just sits in a studio all the time! LOL!

I can't say I blame people for being anti-Hooky, he's said a lot of shit, he's acted like a child and (presumably) tried to prevent the lost sirens getting released, but at the end of the day I love the way he plays bass, and that's all that matters to me, I know not everyone agrees, but each to their own, no need to fall out about it.

Agreed, telling Hooky to get off his arse and tour then asserting that he should learn from his "so called hero" Bowie is very odd. Bowie has not toured consistently since 2004 (admittedly for health reasons) and is releasing new studio music with no mention as-yet of an upcoming tour. By Spidey's logic Hooky should both hole himself in a recording studio and tour more. Eh?

If you're going to criticise the man, at least have a decent point somewhere.

they've been writing for a while, but they're very busy with touring, I can't wait to hear original music from them, they're a great band and deserve to be more than a covers band

I thought the interview on 6 Music was really good to be honest. Hooky came across well to me, really nice interview I thought. Holding off listening to tracks on Lost Sirens until CD drops from Amazon so first chance to hear one song i.e. Californian Grass. Not bad.

Spending a year of your life making an album IS "doing music". Albums dont just appear for free from thin air. If you expect people to pay their ticket to get a copy just like anything else that doesnt mean you're a sourpuss who's out of touch and greedy. Jesus...

I'd go see Hook live, and still respect his contributions to music. It's just that he's been a real buzz-kill with the break up, NewOrderNow and Lost Sirens.

I can enjoy his music whilst disagreeing with him. As for The Light, I have no interest in it, that's all.

After Freebass it's probably advisable that he doesn't "rest his fat arse in a recording studio."


Thanks for the award, Jarvo!! I put a lot of effort on it and I'm very proud. Big Grin

Peeps, I'm not saying Hooky does not play live whatsoever, I would be nuts defending that. Au contraire, I remember posting not long ago that Hooky was always the one who cared the most about fans when playing live.

What really pisses me off is that same mambo jumbo that Internet/P2P/Torrents have made today's music quality worst. It is just not true.

Internet killed an industry, not music. Music executives had to move their business somewhere else, 99% of the recorded music nowadays is for publicity of the artists only and if such artists want to make money they have to play live - and this seems very fair to me.

The link with Bowie seemed appropriate, since the guy understood the effects of Internet in the music industry 10 years ago. And our beloved Hooky is just not accepting this inevitable scenario very well.

But I'm giving my contribution - I've preordered his JD gossip book and paid to watch him live with his teen mates on 2011.
What else does he want me to do? Buy the Freebass album? No, thanks. I wouldn't even download it for free, it's just not worth the HD space.

Don't get the Freebass criticism. Hated the EP but enjoyed the album, it certainly jizzes over Revenge and stands comparison to 2000's 'Monaco'. Mucous For Pleasure remains Hook's strongest Out-Of-Order LP, don't you think?
I'd like to hear new Light material as they play so well, but I won't hold my breath. Hooky seems to love touring more than writing and has often expressed his diffidence to putting out new material in this free-for-all age.

I thought the opposite - LP was dire, the EP okay.

Well, I say the EP was okay, but I'm only really referring to the Burgess track. IMO, easily the best side project track to have appeared out of either camp since WFTSC.

Am I the only person on here who likes the Freebass album? Some great songs IMO, and I'm normally the first to moan!
The best song on the EP was You Don't Know..., but after a pleasantly Ceremonious opening it just goes on without climaxing.

Good to hear him talking about New Order, some points of interest:

He mentions that Steve wrote a lot of the lyrics on Movement,
I think I read before that he also wrote the words to Procession..

1hr 45 minutes in to the interview Hooky mentions that around 1990 He, Rob, Steve & Gillian discussed reforming New Order without Bernard but that Hooky vetoed the notion.
I hadn't heard that one before. Eek

He also implies that Phil, Steve and himself had been working on other ideas around the time of Sirens which obviously never got beyond an early stage but he calls them the Lost Lost Sirens..



Cannot wait for his New Order's book release! It will be a bestseller!

Intriguing as I still listen to Freebass' album and enjoy it while I never even considered OTP an LP, just an excuse for Hooky to indulge his ego, dabble in S&M imagery and enjoy life on the road... Definitely the worst thing to come out of this camp. Gun World Porn was worthwhile though by that stage it was nearly Monaco. In fact Under The Stars was originally a Revenge track (Born To Kill), just as Microbes / Pumpkin came out under Revenge but was also on Monaco's website. Always interesting to hear other fans' opinions!

There were rumours that Steve sung Movement, tosh of course but he did sing some of the original demos - but he's often expressed his diffidence to the idea of drummers singing, like when Phil Collins did 'In The Air Tonight' on TOTP and wasn't behind his drum set. OMG, Phil Collins in a New Order thread!

I admit it's probably difficult to do it live; YMO's Yukihiro Takahashi was playing the drums whilst singing, for example.
