[sphlapin]

MAGNIFIQUE , la bass elle dechire grave !!! souvenir du bon temps.

[daleksupreme7691]

Always better hearing the live versions from this era than the autopilot BLT played from 2001 onwards.

[ersatz01]

how great it must have been to hear this song as it was back then... before all the covers and even new order's live performances of it in the 2000s. a lot more pristine back then in 1986/1987.

[ShortRoundMcFly72]

I have a hard time explaining to my brother that thing that sounds like a guitar is actually a six-string bass

[pnnorton]

@ShortRoundMcFly72 Did they use a 6 string bass?? The one here is only 4 strings right?

[glider1989]

@pnnorton

Hooky used both 4 and 6 string bass. He played a Shergold 6 string, which is essentially a 30" scale guitar tuned an octave down. His use of a plectrum, chorus pedals, playing high on the fretboard and picking close to the bridge also contributes to the sound. It started in Joy Divison, to cut through the mud of Bernard's guitar amps.

[BeitYisrael]

Sounds like its played in a different key?

[awesomelittle]

Could anyone transcribe what they say at the end of the interview?

[Stratocaster821990]

He might have switched from the strat to a gibson in between guitar parts. The bass is awesome in this song.

[GVike]

The bass is awesome in ALL NEW ORDER and JOY DIVISION and MONACO songs. Fixed.

[eublepharis]

yeah I notice. that's a mystery. does he switch or what?

[xiaoxia5]

probably just had them do a few takes. used the Strat on one, Gretch on the other.

[xiaoxia5]

anyone else notice that Barney has a Fender Strat, then has his Gretch?

[ersatz01]

Not a Gretsch. It's a Gibson ES 335 TD with coil tap. Made from late 1970s to early 1980s.

[blynx666]

Love the part where Gillian starts the sequencer!!

[herfur]

joy division

[gogolito]

not the best sound quality but the statement they make in the short interview at the end of that clip is priceless...and most of all very true.

[paperbackwriter]
