Ahhh, memories of 1987 come flooding back...I was 15, in love for the first time and it was reciprocated during a magical summer of love. And this was part of the soundtrack! I'd go back in a heartbeat if I could :-(
great band, I grew up with new order since the day I was born in 1986. Friends found me wierd for listening to this but they don't know what good music is!
@jcsnyder95 New Order, The Smiths, Happy Mondays, The Cure, my favourite British bands to name a few. I'm from England and I live and breathe 80s British music. But 80s metal from America is the shit... Don't dismiss what you've got if you don't have the cultural flare to appreciate it. Musically its complex and it rocks. Admittedly different to this, but don't tie yourself down to one genre and try and brown nose us Brits on RU-vid.
What are called these "drums" the drummer was on...? probably an obsolete model that did not lasted long; but if somebody can tell me the name of the model...thx.
@narcher91 hi there theres no doubt in my mind that the vast majority of bands from the british isles and ireland were far superior to the bands across the pond in the u.s.a. ,i grew up listening to thin lizzy ,the who ,pink floyd ,the cure ,the smiths etc....american bands have a lot less soul and more comercial orientated ,our bands had something to say and had great passion back in the day ,something which is sadly lacking in todays bands.
@mmtot I disagree, describe a band that even compares to New Order, The Beatles, The Who, The Smiths and many other bands that define the music that we listen to today. Music today is merely a shadow of bands like New Order.
@scraftonthebadger Im19 myself trust me i know whats out today and generally its total rubbish id love to say its just as good today as it was back then but it simply isnt not even close, sure we get the odd 2 or 3 good songs a year but im just having a look at my itunes here now and about 5% of the songs are from 2000 onwards...
Barney changed his mind in later years in the view that why perform a song live when it is substandard to the recorded version? I strongly disagreed with this view to this day and the band sold out, but without being as successful - very strange! At least Phil Cunningham isn't here acting like a rock n roll t*at.
