Kid Gleason Posted March 31, 2006 Share Posted March 31, 2006 (edited) I liked some of New Order. They were one of those bands with no middle ground. They either did a great song, or they sucked eggs. Joy Division I could never get into. Too boring, IMO. Shame he killed himself though, I agree.

Kyyle23 Posted March 31, 2006 Share Posted March 31, 2006 I thought that New Order "Get Ready" was really damn good, it wasnt recieved with the same enthusiasm that they had recieved for previous efforts, but I still thought it was really good.

Shame ian curtis killed himself. I never could get into new order Illustrating the state of Curtis's mind he changed the bands name from Warsaw (this came from the track of the same name on Bowie's album Low) to Joy Division after reading about Nazi concentration camps, where groups of females were kept especially for the "entertainment" of the guards. These poor ladies were collectively known as the Joy Division. From time to time the name change to New Order has caused the band some trouble, with minority groups believing the band had leanings towards Fascism. Something constantly denied by the band.

I'd have to go with Closer, Heart and Soul and Isolation are tops. Although as an album Substance wins out for me.

bmags Posted March 31, 2006 Share Posted March 31, 2006 you saw them live? Lucky bastard, i've been trying to find that live vinyl for a couple months now...i hate ebay so no to that. Thats so cool. I don't know if i've mentioned this yet but Jose` Gonzales' cover of Love will tear us apart is pretty good ...so many terrible covers of that song (square pusher LOL) that he really seemed to nail it.

I went through a period of weekly gigs when at Art College, right time right place. Saw everyone from Souxie and Banshees (including Robert Smith, he of the Cure) through The Police and on to Genesis. Cosmopolitan or what! Didn't know Jose Gonzales had covered Love', will have to look out for it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hey DePloderer, I'm going to Leeds for work at the end of April hopefully. Having seen JD live you might be a little old to ask this but are there any good clubs to hit there? Or even just Pubs with DJs? Edited March 31, 2006 by sti3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm told that there's a great nightlife in Leeds these days, I'll ask around. How old are you, what are you into? You might like to look at this link.

Pauly8509CWS Posted April 1, 2006 Share Posted April 1, 2006 Went to Coldplay thursday, probably not a favorite of the board here, but I was rather impressed. Alot of energy from the band, which even covered Johnny Cash's "Ring of Fire." Richard Ashcroft opened, he's really strange, took off his shoes and socks in the middle of a song and proceeded to dance around. Of course, he and his band played Bittersweet Symphony from the days when he was with the Verve. PS. I don't like the UC much for concerts.

I know people who saw them both at Alpine and at the UC and they hated the Alpine show but loved the UC show, wierd. I'm not a fan of theirs but glad you had fun.
