Peter Hook needs to take his dick out of Joy Divisions corpse already.

In case you forgot or missed this incredible Hook produced "tribute" http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rQYg4Jq_DX8

That... was terrible.

It's a rare band that can improve on the original. I had to find the original, then listen to the Sundays version of Wild Horses, and then the Faith No More version of War Pigs just to get the stink off.

Life cycle of a commercially successful band:

  play in garage
  play in bars
  play in clubs
  play in amphitheaters 
  play in arena's
  play in amphitheaters
  Brain-trust leaves group
  Others cling to the amphitheater but wind up in the club
  Brain-trust hires attorney and sues the other guys for         
  trying to stay relevant by using old name

I think it would be an error to call Peter Hook the brain trust of Joy Division or New Order. His bass playing is unique, but I think they could do quite well without him.

Yeah, it was a piss-poor attempt at humor. It would have worked better with Roger Waters/Floyd from the "brain-trust" perspective. Still, David Gilmore did a great job and.... yada, yada... my band timeline joke sucked. :)
