New Order

[with_cheese]

I don't think anybody is going to do that. Especially now that you already spilled the beans, dude.

[betao]

No, we don't believe him. Grab the 9mm just to be sure.

The Fox in Oakland is a beautiful venue but the sound absolutely sucks there.

Really? I've never really had that problem. The Pixies sounded fantastic when I saw them there I think in 2010. What Bay Area venues do you think have good sound?

[substance242]

I have had many good and some bad experiences at the Fox. It sounded amazing when I saw New Order, but not so much for the Smashing Pumpkins.

the sound at the fox is always bass heavy and reverberating. just about every other major venue sounds much better... the fillmore, gamh, warfield. i'll take the smaller venues over the fox too. every time i've been to the fox it sounds the same and my friends have had the same experiences. at one show i attended, some guy next to me even went to the sound board to complain.

i don't know why some people don't pick up on it. maybe it's preference, maybe it's hearing ability, maybe it's experience. who knows? i thought the sound in the gobi last year suffered from similar problems and my friends agreed. my first thought was, "is the fox theater sound guy running this tent too?".

[KickerConspiracy]

Interesting. I'll have to pay more attention next time I'm there.

[citizenerased]

I've had similar experiences at the Fox, definitely not at Jonsi and Monsters of Folk though. It has the possibility of being good.

Wouldn't it be great to have Peter Hook join New Order on stage at Coachella?

My hope and dream and wish.

I was right up front and to me it sounded great. The crowd made the show everyone was going nuts and they fed off it! The greek show was better cause of the song ad's and me getting to meet Bernard! Can't wait to see them with Johnny Marr the night before Coachella in Santa Barbara!

[sonnyboy11]

My hope and dream and wish.

Mine as well. But man, when these older Brits start acting like pissy coonts towards one another, it's some bitter stuff. Probably go to their graves never speaking again if they can help it. But Hooky is a helluva bass player. Almost legend. Can't say I won't be thinking about it during the NO set here.

Would be great, but ain't gonna happen.

This is the video I wanted to upload before.

Ive seen New Order a lot over tha past 20 years, Hooky and the rest of NO, dont get along. Since he has gone, theyre actually better, more fresh (check out their berlin gig on youtube esp Temptation). It wil be higher energy, they actually want to be on stage now, as opposed to just fdoing it for the money. I saw them in NewYork last year, amazin

Plus, Hook is responsible for my favorite spinoff of New Order, Revenge. Still listen to "Pineapple Face" like it was recorded yesterday.

[kvnty]

Can someone explain to me why New Order isn't billed higher?

They are more popular in the U.S. than Blur and Stone Roses. At least they were more popular.

New Order is one of only eight bands on the lineup with a platinum album in the U.S. The other six are Franz Ferdinand, Wu-Tang Clan, Moby, Modest Mouse, The Postal Service, Violent Femmes and Red Hot Chili Peppers. NO should be higher up.

That is a heck of a stat!

Hard to believe...

I guess Dead Kennedys never made it past gold, but I would have bet money that Fever to Tell went platinum.. or that one of Lou Reeds bigger records made it.

Yeah, sucks that "Fresh Fruit for Rotting Vegetables" didn't even go gold in the U.S. (it did in the U.K.), and Lou Reed's records (though critically acclaimed) did not sell very well. Hoping YYYs next album is the 8th Coachella '13 artist to sell a mill in U.S.

07 Here to Stay
08 Your Silent Face
09 Bizarre Love Triangle

11 True Faith
12 The Perfect Kiss
13 Blue Monday
14 Temptation

ENCORE:
15 Atmosphere
16 Shadowplay
17 Transmission
18 Love Will Tear Us Apart

Incredible set list, but why doesn't Technique get any love?

I've been reading a bunch of interviews with both Bernard and Hook. Hook really comes off like the bad guy no matter whose side you hear. It sounds like the rest of them may have done some shady legal things to get control of the trademark, but that was AFTER he just went and announced they were breaking up without consulting anyone else. He just seems really bitter.

The worst was that bit where he said the new bass player was miming to a backing track. "You see, he's playing low and the track is up high". Apparently it's a song with 2 bass parts and Hook used to do the same thing because it's impossible to play live otherwise.

I have hopes for a good show because it really sounds like they are having fun again. Reminds me of the Pixies comeback shows, just go out, play the hits, enjoy being appreciated. (& profit). But Bernard is just the worst frontman ever, so I won't be expecting that much. Just give me a good setlist.

[lt.roast.a.botch]

I know it wont happen but I would love to see State of the Nation live


or even better, Shame of the Nation (never performed live, at least from setlist.fm)

[kvnty]

Incredible set list, but why doesn't Technique get any love?

Could not agree more. "Fine Time," "All the Way," "Run" and especially "Vanishing Point" are fantastic songs. And Technique was a huge hit in the U.S. Maybe they'll sneak a couple in for us in April.

EVERYTHING'S GONE GREEN

[TheImportance]

Really hope they play Regret, looks like they've only played it a handful of times this tour. Anyone think they'll play a tune off of their latest album? I think Californian Grass is almost a certainty.

[kvnty]

It's New Order, bitch.

[kvnty]

I think i'd rather see Hot Chip than New Order. Not sure i understand the hype on them. Everything live I see lead singer sounds horrible

you fuck. you cunt. you cooze mother fucker with the worst taste in music EVER. Please mother fucking kill your cock sucking self on do us all a favor. God, you suck so fucking bad, I can't fucking stand the thought of you being at Coachella, polluting the Polo Grounds with your filthy disgusting exhale breath. Go suck off Danny Avila and give the rest of us a mother fucking break. You douche fist hole of an excuse for a human fucking being. Die, mother fucker, die! NOW!!!

[IceyHotshot]

New Order is one of the best bands ever IMO.

Violent Femmes went platinum, too. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Violent_Femmes_(album)

Totally missed that one. Thanks for catching.

[Pura Vida]

Top 5 for me. Although it checked the box, their 2005 set was a bit of a let-down. They definitely sound better now, even without Hooky.

I'm surprised Wolfgang Amadeus Phoenix wasn't a Platinum Album. I guess the kids were all up on the downloads by the time that was out. Looking at Wikipedia about this, Metallica has the most impressive stat line. 21 albums, all of them platinum.
