@@noyoureafuckintubeBernard shut it right down💀

[@erikjleiken]

Why? He was a founding member who had a massive influence on not only their music, but many other bands later. The interview was very benign and basically just shoulder-patting until he threw that question at them. He knew he had to. Peter Hook gave them that edginess to their sound that they would have otherwise lacked. They all gave something important to their sound and music, and like him or not, he was a key ingredient. Tom Chapman is a good bass player, I've heard him live, but he's his own musician. He doesn't play the same way, and it produces a different attitude. He's content to shy away from the spotlight on stage, but Peter Hook demands it. He was the only one who never let the Joy Division legacy be forgotten entirely in their sound. That's why he was mentioned, he's too important to their history and overall sound.

Bernard’s arms were already crossed though. I think they are not really interested in the continued drama. Hooky is the one who wrote really disparaging things about the other 3. They may privately forgive but it’s hard to forget. Hooky is quite the character but is also a narcissist who never really got along with anyone else.

[@biggodfrey7797]

A big part of my life in the 80’s and some of the best records and gigs ever - and some of the worst gigs as well. But that was what made them so interesting you never knew quite what you were going to get when you went to see them. They had their time and, in my opinion, it was some time ago with Republic being the closer for me (see what I did there?) The Peter Hook issue was a sad sideshow replicated by many bands down the ages where one member suddenly believes they are bigger than the band and finds out they are not. Glad people still get enjoyment from them today but they are just old bezzards, talented nonetheless. Peter Hook & The Light on the other hand is just tragic, full stop.

After watching the "question part" about Hooky, Stephen (again) seems to be such a kind and gentle guy. Like most of what I've seen of him. Not full of resentment. Bernard, not so sure. But it's their lives, legacy and band of course. Up to them. I'm a big JD and (older material-era) NO fan. I must say I do prefer what Hooky and the band are doing to what NO are doing to JD's legacy. Hook's vocals are way better. No doubt about that.

[@dirkpehrke9909]

I disagree (as a bass player). New Dawn Fades is about one of the best lead and rhythm guitar pieces I have ever listened to. As just one example. And I always liked Sumner‘s voice. Not so much so, when he sings Joy Division songs. But to be honest, Sumner I guess never felt comfortable being in the spotlight live.

[@erinmacdonald5433]

Bernard Sumner wrote a majority of the songs, arranged almost all of them, wrote the lyrics, sings, mixes, produces, and is the frontman, yet never brags. JD and NO would not have been even half as good or successful without him--in fact, they wouldn't have existed at all. And it's his guitar that absolutely makes songs like Transmission, Shadowplay, Age of Consent, Regret, etc. etc. Don't forget he also played/plays keyboards, synths, melodica, programs, etc. Everyone contributes, but even Steve (amazing drummer) has said in his books that Bernard was always the main music writer and the most musical one of them all. No offence, but I'll take his word for it. And if Peter Saville is really disrespecting Bernard, he should be ashamed of it--it was Bernard who gave him the picture that made Saville one of the most famous graphic designers in the world. He makes a lot of money off of the Unknown Pleasures graphic that Bernard found and suggested for the cover.
