Peter Hook Interview - Factory, Fast Product, Bob Last, Tony Wilson and Joy Division

[@NoxiousRob]

I could listen to Hooky talk all day, and I suspect he'd be happy to do so. One of my all time bass playing heroes in two of my all time favourite bands, and such a genuine down to earth bloke.

[@MrNexuscorre]

NoxiousRob his Joy Division’s book has an audiobook narrated by Hooky. Beautiful listen

[@leoa4c]

His solos on live versions of Perfect Kiss really show on underrated bass can be as an instrument. For whatever, yet to be found, reason, we do not see bass tracks taken to such a high level on other songs and other bands. Some jazz genres do allow the bass to roam around a little bit, but nothing like what happens on Perfect Kiss.

I was a joy Division fan in the 80s as a teen and there was so much mystery abou their story. This was before Deborah's book and stuff. It's so nice to see Hooky talk like this. He talks so openly about the reality of what it was like. There's a lot less mystery but I could listen for hours to these details about these heroes of my youth! Thanks Hooky for being so open to talk

Great interview Hooky......I love hearing your stories....I. Love the way you tell them....heartwarming

[@anthonylee3311]

Peter seemed to really enjoy giving this interview - Grant obviously has a way to make the interviewee relaxed

[@peterdavenport5882]

Hooky, what a guy, a proper lad! Tony Wilson RIP 👍

[@andrewbarron7690]

Great interview,l learned a lot. Earcom 2 is the only vinyl I ever bought as a tourist in England. It was Bernard Sumner who worked with Paul Haig and those recordings sparkle. Thanks for a fascinating post.

[@rael1999]

Hooky comes over really well these days and a lot more relaxed and mellow.

[@harrisjon1]

He seems like the nicest guy...would love to get guitar tips from him!

[@brownson1970]

imagine being in joy division AND new order!! WOW!!

[@btsdancestudio5691]

What a gentlemen. His playing style is so unique and the voice is great now!

[@ghostexits]

‘From Safety to Where’ and ‘Auto-Suggestion’ both have a fragility and even a levity to their sound that sets them apart slightly from most JD tracks. It makes sense that they were written in the studio right before being committed to tape.

[@rockinbiff]

Peter hook seems like a very down-to-earth guy without a lot of pretenses. With so much mystery & heaviness surrounding the band's history & music, it's nice to hear from a guy who you could talk to at the pub. JD is probably my favorite band since about 1980 when I first heard of them from The Fall when they came to California to play. Manchester sure had some great bands.

[@matty7dream1]

Have a listen to Peter Hook and John Robb interview specifically about Ian Curtis. Recorded 20 May 2020. It's on KZbin. I think you will enjoy it.

[@donnybrooklads]

Hooky at his finest. Loved his take on Bernard's reluctant guitar input on "Safety to Where". Should hear him tell of stage bust up's like at The Electric Circus gig. You did not mess with Pete.

[@deletebilderberg]

JD, the early days of NO they were completely full of themselves but completely lacked confidence in their musicianship. For me that was the era where the magic truly happened.

[@loratadine921]

I want to hear that O.J./Josef K at Rafters cassette!

[@repo401]

i had to go back and listen to safety to where and that is funny as hell

[@simonball2855]

made history kid.

[@neill4133]

Legend

[@djh29971]

'Autosuggestion' was one of the best Joy Division and Hannett ever did,, yet was 'given away' to Fast because it was an outtake and needed a home.

[@papanoel3999]

Hooky, any chance of a beer with you.

[@Ewan1980]

Is that not in pretty poor taste?

[@JMarinelli]

@@Ewan1980 Not if PAPA NOEL buys it.

[@ericlegend95]

I never understood if Peter Hook liked Tony Wilson or not

[@leoa4c]

I think that the main reason why DJs are not as competitive as bands is due to the simple fact that the majority of them do not produce most of what they play. In other words, most of them "borrow" a lot of their tracks from other musicians, and then edit/modify them to match their own flavor. As a result, DJs cannot be too protective of what they create since what they create mostly comes from other people. So, a more "sharing atmosphere" is, perhaps, to be expected. (I am not saying that it is right or wrong to use other people's tracks as a base. Some great works have come from it. I did it myself in the past, however, I wouldn't like to do it now. I would rather produce my own tracks from scratch.)

always nuts ` bolts, but always inspiring

[@the_prince_of_thy_black_light]

Yea but let's just forget the fact that tony Wilson made a movie literally making fun of ian curtis and kicking dirt on his name, ian was a legend and tony was a damn joke, glad hes gone

[@scoot8534]
