Agreed, he is incredible. A sound and a style completely unto himself.

he's one of the most iconic bassist alive!

[@moosemoss2645]

[@tc1817]

Can't sing worth shit though. He should get a singer when they tour.

[@Crapoop765]

Also dude you play left handed, strumming without pick and with no strap? Dood, hardcore.

[@mikogale]

yeah, the strings aren't even reversed

[@timbookatuncommonsense8778]

Are the strings upside down to??

[@malespecimen21]

Guessing this is ironic because of your name but if not that's what he means by the strings aren't reversed

[@znet9452]

the mok yeah because peter hook is right handed and it’s his bass

[@bassesatta9235]

Mikael Salander whats up with non nylon string players and picks? him strumming without a pick isnt impressive

[@TweedSuit]

That's BASSicaly the sound of New Order right there. When Hooky left, the sound went with him.

[@MCBhangramuffin]

true. Without Hooky it isn't New Order

[@lazarus2863]

And yet, when Hooky left, New Order released their first great album since Technique. If Hooky leaving is what it took for New Order to make great music again, I'll begrudgingly take it. I have a soft spot for the dense and complex One True Passion, but Music Complete is better than any album by Revenge or Monaco. Maybe I'd rather see Hooky live, but I'd rather listen to Barney and the crew actually make new music.

[@danielg335]

Actually, that’s BASSically the sound of Joy Division...

[@joeldukes303]

lazarus28 if you don’t appreciate “Get Ready”, you are missing the boat, period

[@woodycfc3429]

New order aren't fit to polish JD shoes

[@kevanbaconofficial]

His bass lines are insane, especially the way he plays everything so high on the fretboard.

[@tombstoneharrystudios584]

Kevan B it’s because they had crap equipment and Hooky couldn’t hear himself over the guitar and drums, so he started playing high on the neck and chords The plus side was that they automatically created a new sound, as well as always sounding like they had two guitars and bassist in the band

[@NoxiousRob]

Also, the fact he played so high enabled him to use lower strings as drones

[@henrydauseb2844]

@@NoxiousRob what is drone?

[@DevinRyanVitek]

@@henrydauseb2844 a drone is when you play an open string with a fretted note below it. So one note is always being played or “droning” in the sound

[@possibly8180]

​@@tombstoneharrystudios584 indeed, the Hondo II ric copy he was using was, by his own admission, a pile of crap that didn't play right. The rest of the world is all the more better for it though lol.

[@jamlane]

I love how he slowed down at the end to show him exactly how to do it. That Hook tone is unmistakable.

[@zyx7478]

All Joy Division songs are purely epic Peter Hook is the soul of the band

[@HobeyEchlin]

Totally agree man. For all his presence and flamboyance, his basslines really brought out the best in his band mates.

[@stupidhandles]

Curtis was the soul, Hook was the beating heart

[@финик-с6ч]

[@beastieboy9286]

Peter hook was the heart, Ian was the soul. “Heart and Soul, one will burn”

He may be wrong Peter BUT that is a damn good attempt on a right handed guitar by a left handed guitarist! Thanks Peter, love your bass playing, absolutely amazing sounds, thanks for years of super music...

[@Fireglo]

The notes were correct he just played them in a different position.

[@Compliment_Thief]

Peter said you can have your tongue back now! 😛

[@JohnDoe-le7ml]

Love how Hooky dropped the hammer at the first sign of it being wrong (0:42) but did it in such a way that he didn't seem like a jerk about it.

[@chrisst8922]

That would have been through the respect that the OP had already garnered.

[@HobeyEchlin]

all the chorus and flange. because new order uses a lot of synthesized bass, and ian curtis back in the joy division days liked the bass to carry the melody so he didn't have to, hook has turned into this sort of guitar-bassist more than a bass-guitarist. thanks for watching

[@harrisonwintergreen1147]

Hook said somewhere with the cruddy amps they had to start with he could clearly hear the bass only on the high end, and that's how his style started

[@IPIXInvestorFLSince]

Absolutely! Well said!

[@НиколайСеменов-ц2я]

Thank you for Majesty Crush ❤. I'm from Russia and i like yours music!!

[@rayvanwayenburg998]

Hearing Hook play on the new Gorillaz track made me feel nostalgic for New Order. His sound really is something unique.

[@NikFarr]

This is AWESOME. What a great experience that must've been! Also, your upside-down lefty version was very impressive, even if Hooky had to correct you on the finer points.

[@tetedepoulet8651]

Nik Farr Fuck yes

[@catominor6782]

Peter Hook has never been a technical bassplayer, but he created his bass language and style. Anyway, for me the best postpunk new wave bassplayers are, beyond to Peter Hook, Derek Forbes of Simple Minds (period 79-82) , John Taylor of Duran Duran (the basslines of DD and Rio are fantastic), Simon Gallup of The Cure, Mick Karn of Japan and Paul Gardiner of Gary Numan/Tubeway Army too. I was forgetting Steven Severin of Siouxsie and The Banshess.

[@BGH10000]

Jez Kerr of A Certain Ratio?

[@CatoMinor]

And damn...i forgot JJ Burnel of The Stranglers!!!

[@francescoriccioli4326]

I'm agree with you but I need to add Gianni Maroccolo of Litfiba. See some his bassline on youtube

[@CatoMinor]

[@anthonysclafani3963]

0:13 that sound everyone makes when they hear Hook start playing

[@sookmajoaby]

the guys reaction when he hears Hooky's trademark tone, brilliant :)

[@hhlohmann3881]

Left handed on a right handed bass makes it sound fantastic - strumming from higher to lower strings creates an incredible depth or better width of sound

[@ricardogarcia1134]

What a powerful and iconic bassline dude. I get chills everytime I listen to it.

[@Gothgalactica]

It never gets any less impactful

[@beeboy6967]

Back when Bernard & Peter were friends.......c'mon lads, make up already & tour.Who ever agrees give me a thumb's up !

[@noodoo19]

I cannot heart this sentiment enough!

[@willscomix]

I have to believe Hooky when he says Bernard became a bit big-headed, but they've reconciled before, though it's New Order's decision to let him in. Besides, if you asked me if I wanted to see New Order or Peter Hook and The Light, I'd choose The Light any day of the week, great band with a spectacular atmosphere and energy.

[@OutkastedRadikal]

Peter Hook had always been the John entwhistle of new wave

[@HobeyEchlin]

Completely agree

[@mannsam63]

He's basically playing his bass like a dulcimer. JD songs were always bass driven, the guitar was merely an overlay to the bass.

[@whiff1962]

Interesting musical insight. Yeah, I see where you are coming from on that, thanks.

[@alienvomitsex]

I think a lot of post punk music is like that. Synths and bass drive the song.

[@USMCLP]

@alienvomitsex Yeah but mainly bass guitars because they’re a staple instrument and every band needs a bassist. Most post-punk bands mainly use synths just to add texture and atmosphere.

[@novadhd]

like the Smiths

[@antoniomarques6111]

Now I have to disagree. The guitar is just as integral, it's just that there's more people playing guitar similar to the way Barney plays his.

[@bascet1]

Fuckin underrated is hooky. Quality bass player

[@Pazuzu82]

A means to an end has got several different compositions of the bass thats why i luv hookys bass playing he makes it look so easy just as what stephen does with the drumming.

[@HobeyEchlin]

Completely agree.

[@westerncivilization]

an honor to be schooled by the master

[@312Duck]

Subtleties - Note just after the 1:03 mark (after the open D to A chord part), when he does the A chord/drone strum: The first two eight notes are downstrokes, the rest are up/down. Repeat. Makes all the different in the world.

Great footage buddy! I'm writing from Brazil, and I never got much materials from New Order in the 80' and the 90', just the majors records from the band. Only after I had access to the Internet I have got new stuffs. Nowadays I have used KZbin an Apple Store to purchase the records there weren't sold in Brazil. Moreover, KZbin is rich source of rare interviews and unfolded stories about New Order, and this clip is complete astonishing. You are a very luck guy! Congrats. Anderson Bestteti

[@JonSmith-cx7gr]

There was a story by SLash I think where he was sitting with George Harrison and Slash played the open riff to Day Tripper or maybe I Feel Fine. George said "no its like this" and played it slightly differently and Slash said "are you sure?".

[@chrisst8922]

No it's Gary Moore and about the A Hard Day's Night opening chord. Moore recounts that Harrison didn't reply but just looked at him as if to say, 'Yes, I am actually Gary'. What a pity that he never was able to show us.
