I think a true fan of a musician would accept the fact that people have chapters in their lives. You and I do - and Bernard Sumner is no exception. I accept this music for what it is - the art of a group that has the roots of so much musical history entwined in it that it frightens me. Bernard Sumner, and Bad Lieutenant are amazing. They might not have the synth beats and chilling vocals of New Order, but New Order had it's place. Let's all give Bad Lieutenant a chance - For Bernard.

Very well said 👌

[@Grifcannon]

From Joy Division to New Order to Bad Lieutenant. Never ceases to amaze just how great each incarnation is in their own right.

[@aus80srockradio94]

Plus Electronic's first LP from 1990 is also exceptional.

[@sumantmurugesh1669]

As long as Bernard Sumner is there, i am there! True genius of an artist.

[@YeahManWoot]

Better than most songs on the radio. I guess today's music has hope.

[@RobDistant]

nice sound. just because its different to his other work doesnt mean its a bad thing. im glad hes still going! verry indie sound

[@scswat]

If Elvis was the King... Bernard is the Pope... for he can do no wrong in music. It's fantastic that he is still pushing creativity. I can recognize his voice anywhere, truly Iconic. Thanks for continuing to give us great music Bernard!

[@Caterpillar_579]

I love New Order & Bad Lieutenant

[@cyberllia]

I can't stop listening to this song!!!

[@TourdeForce]

Hooky? How is Hooky? This is Bad Lieutenat! Bernard is back!

[@roseanni693]

yeahhhhhhhhhh extraordinary!!!! cool song , so catchy.Congratulations to Bernard Sumner and his band!!

[@12laube12]

This should win top awards in every category. Are people crazy or what!

[@tshoup4]

Brilliant New Music, again by Mr Sumner. Great video.

[@d4syorch]

Great sound !! Fresh and brilliant... I'll be waiting for the album. Congratulations !! The saga continue...

[@jfair803]

for anyone looking for the lyrics, it goes: 'Love dies fast, now Whenever you're uncertain how This unsure that you love Dreams die fast, fast Whenever you dream they can last Take this pain when you go, yeah Life is fast, now Whenever you're uncertain how This unsure do you know Love dies faster, fast When you think it can never last Take me please if you go, yeah'

[@desert.mantis]

Thank you, comrade!

[@damirgazibaric965]

Yes, thank you

[@IzabellaStarr]

It's absolutely amazing listening to this and remembering Joy Division and Mew Order and seeing the different phases of Bernard. It's awesome. I love this entire album.

[@jacquesdaviault]

Love it... and there's Stephen Morris on the drums. A real catchy sound. I hope the album is of the same quality. Congratulations to Bad Lieutenant! Come back Hooky !!!!

[@eldemar57]

Have already added in my 3.200 mp3 files personal radio station. Great song.

[@piaguastavinoperez7232]

Bernard nunca me deja de sorprender estas canciones me encantan

[@followthepassenger]

Not sure why so many people dislike this song so much. Some people have to get over the fact that New Order are gone and are NOT coming back. This might not be the best pop song ever written, but it is rather enjoyable. Isn't that good enough? If not, you're looking for something other than music....

[@Bing180363]

When i heard this song at first time i thought, wooow!!! amazing, cool and simply great!! LIKE IT!!!

[@rodrigobertinl]

Great Song, congrats... Can't wait for the album, please come to Chile!!!!!!!

[@MephProduction]

Cool, a musical homage to the Yard Birds.... was expecting to hear that when i clicked this. Love new order but haven't checked the solo works and side projects before.

Excellent!!!Très bonne vidéo aussi!!!Hier le 28 septembre live de Sink or Swim à PARIS sur FRANCE3 vers 00h15!!!Merci Bad Lieutenant...

[@robyale]

Anton used the Joy Division beat as a blatant response to this song. It's also why he titled a song Blue Order, New Monday. Now forever when people google either New Order or Blue Monday a Brian Jonestown Massacre song will appear in the search.;-)

[@ejectego2237]

liked it better when it was called 'when jokers attack'

[@Souplesse000]

It was pretty good when it was called Heart Full of Soul as well.

Can't wait to see them in Brighton on Tuesday!! :D

[@sctdiverdown]

Nice - a refreshing sound .......some of the sounds / melodies remind me of one of my favs, "Regret" - very catchy. I wish them luck and a long future ....

[@e4rebakerusmc]

Heard them on the radio tonight on the way home from work and thought, hey their really good.

[@MrR0NS0N]

No man. They didn't rip them off. If you look closely, No ones almost too high to play, and no one is fighting.

[@captaindaring]

Looking at Barney makes me feel old. I hate to see my idols age. Thankfully the voice is still there.

[@GrotrianSeiler]

Great guitars.

[@doubleredsx3]

so many years have passed... but the talent is still there. stephen aged a lot however... he really did.

[@katakisLives]

Its great to hear from Sumner again, still maing great tunes,

[@12laube12]

Great to see "New Order" carry on in a sense. The band was too talented to quit because of a falling out among members etc. Hope for more to come.

[@vladimirdjokovic9152]

I really do not understand why this song has only 300k views. This is an awesome song. What is wrong with this world?

[@MissKitty21]

Yeah I agree :/

[@sunsetman22]

Maybe some jokers attacked.......

[@danielsanchez-bd1iz]

Excellent!!!

[@victorkeller]

Cant wait for the Long Player. Nice 12-string part. Not a chance in the world they'll make a tour in USA.

[@TheBocker586]

Good sound, nice to see Barny & Steve again....

[@dogfase515]

Anton newcombe rules!!!

[@ronrexl]

If New Order has to not exist anymore, that Bad Lieutenant exists makes that a lot easier to bear.

[@johnnythecow]

bloody brilliant!

[@CarlosDjed]

Muy buen trabajo, como todo lo de estos niños, madura como el vino y se pone mejor con el tiempo...! Por suerte pude conseguir el LP (vinhyl) con 2 temas extra ! impresionante como suena ! y el tema Dynamo sin palabras ! NO74

[@sysimanova]

Bernard & Stephen...some quality there.

[@robyale]

It is the Vox Ultrasonic with the onboard fuzz and the palm wah on the guitar, but it's going through massive delay. I'm sure the BJM has played that many times in Melbourne as it was a staple of the set. Though it wasn't part of the set last year when we played there. You're right, it can get pretty epic live...

[@frareanvidal]

The source IS When Jokers Attack, Godless by the Dandy Warhols and Hearts Full Of Soul by the Yardbirds are similar but still different, while this is identical to When Jokers Attack

[@vltrucco]

Being longing for some new stuff from Mr. Sumner. Miss that familiar voice. Please come to Portland, Oregon!

[@KOSMICKEN09]

everyone is complaining this isn't new order, but hey, at least they're making new music right? i like it

[@Cannon74com]

Yes. Yes for real music.

In conclusion, this is perfect!

[@robyale]

Anton never acknowledged ripping of the Dandy's. He only acknowledged "Jokers Attack" has an homage to their style- (which was basically ripped of from Portland band Rick Bain & The Genius Position.) It was Frankie of the BJM who came up with the 12-string riff. That riff is DEFINITELY being ripped off here by the Bad Lieutenant.

[@JesusEAC]

buena cancion me encanta hace ya buen tiempo que la estaba buscando

[@Sunflower0122Z]

Sounds good guys, looking forward to the disc and US tour hopefully

[@porkchop002]

definitely agree that this isn't New Order. If people love New Order so much, go listen to them. It's obvious that Bernard is maturing as a musician. Of course this is commercial, but as soon as I heard it I knew it had been touched by Bernard. I'm going to buy their album and give it a few listens before I condemn them for one song lol. Agreed with whoever said 'it's good that they're moving on - not like old bands eg. U2, who just play the same thing over and over again'. Change is inevitable

[@floppyd0g]

and "when jokers attack" sounds like "Godless" by the Dandy Warhols..all nice tunes.

[@concordelord]

Punk times will never come back.

[@Bunnypunker]

The setting has something from 'love will tear us apart' clip....Brings tears in my eyes.

[@marauder6661]

Nice one! top vid

[@bispo5000]

eu ou suspeito para falar.mas o new order é tão fantastico. que tudo que sai deles é no minimo bom.a banda nova de Bernard Summer é boa.Mas essa música é fantastica.Quem sabe um dia eles não voltem.Já que já terminaram umas duas vezes e retornaram com albuns muito bons.São eles Bad Lieutnant com sink or swin.

[@cinemar]

This isi a great album!

[@weirdalfan1980]

I cant wait for album, i do have another song on my channel. I preordered mine from the source in england and I live in Canada, so I will get my copy of album b4 americans ^^

Well, I was there. I recorded the song. Frankie definitely came up with the riff.

yay! Please play san francisco!!!! As for Hooky- I eagerly await his project-... Freebase

[@12laube12]

@thedinastee13project I agree with you my friend! Hope ther's more to come. Hope for more music in the "New Order" tradition,

[@soepil]

According to album credits, the drums are played by Jack Mitchell on this track.

[@ady10001]

Hmmm. Someone needs to tell the director that Stephen is one of the greatest drummers England has ever produced.

[@TonyLea99]

yes .. :)

[@Eric-steele]

I like it

[@MrHoefnix]

Could have become a standard in the Merseybeat scene if it had been recorded in the mid 1960s
