RAY AGAINST THE MACHINE Posted January 2, 2016 Share Posted January 2, 2016 The sound is pretty good . The bass sounds good( a Rick , that's not growly/ trebly). I've not seen / heard.much of them - not bad. The singer sounds out at times .The singer seems a lot older than the rest of the band. They've just been joined by tin tin.( la roux?) She seems ok .

Zenitram Posted January 2, 2016 Share Posted January 2, 2016 The singer, keyboard player and drummer are three of the original four members, and are all "old". The bassist and guitarist are youngsters who aren't really part of the "real" New Order, but the five-piece combo they form is now the band, I think. Barney never could sing, in a very different way to how Ian Curtis couldn't sing. It was part of his charm. Staring dead-eyed (or shut-eyed) with one hand fixed on the mic on the stand, too scared to move (or too off his head), a little boy lost, singing lyrics of apparent nonsense that belied a quiet desperation and ultimate sadness. He also found it hard to play guitar and sing at the same time, which shaped a lot of how their songs were written and arranged. How Barney acts on stage these days is very embarrassing, but he seems to be enjoying himself. Which is perhaps the problem. It all went downhill after Brotherhood, really.

gs_triumph Posted January 2, 2016 Share Posted January 2, 2016 It was a bit like watching my old man dad dancing whilst trying to sing along with a song he doesn't know. I thought it was awful. And tin tin looked a tad embarrassed to be there. I wouldn't normally slate someone else's performance - due to my own lack of talent - but there's a time a give it a rest.

Grassie Posted January 2, 2016 Share Posted January 2, 2016 New Order with no Hooky is just not cricket. Saying that, if the new bass playing lad had had his instrument strapped round his knees, y'all would've been ragging on him instead of Barney enjoying himself. Pioneers nonetheless. 😉 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kirky Posted January 3, 2016 Share Posted January 3, 2016 I didn't see it but went to see Peter Hook and the Light a while ago and they were fantastic, and I'm not even much of a fan. Live it all sounded superb, well worth going to see them in 2016. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RAY AGAINST THE MACHINE Posted January 3, 2016 Author Share Posted January 3, 2016 Probably me didn't see that much of him . As I was watching this a second time while typing, it began to grate a bit .( not the bass sound, but the band) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
keeponehandloose Posted January 3, 2016 Share Posted January 3, 2016 They shouldve given up after Ian Curtis .. As a band they were always dreadful live, check out some J.D. bootlegs, but Curtis had some magic worth seeing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
