Love the music of both JD & NO --especially this sublime song. But tell me please, who is Rob Gretton?

THX.

Rob Gretton = Joy Divison & New Order's Manager. Sadly, he died in May 1999 at the age of 46 as the result of a heart attack.

synth=crap?? You've got a massive prejudice problem, lad.

I respect that you prefer Joy Division but the fact that you think New Order is completely "pop" shows that your view of music genre is rather narrow. I remember when I heard New Order for the very first time, I was so intrigue by their music which sounded like no other electronic bands I've heard before. As said earlier, they had something quite underground about them despite their upbeat music. Maybe it was Barney's cold and distance vocal, I'm not too sure but I felt they were unlike others.

They've still got the Joy Division bass even when they're doing New Order dance stuff. Or they did, at least, until Hooky split. Joy Division and New Order....so similar, so different all at once

Is hooky still not in the band

[Video586]

New Order, stage the size of a postage stamp, bathed in blue light, barney pissed , Hookys Bass, set list a lottery winner couldn't get.........................An­d Rob Still Alive. HEADY DAYS

New Order > Joy Division. Temptation is the best song ever written.

@tux40 To me, it's not by a long shot. I agree that Joy Division was better, but I LOVE New Order too and think they're close to Joy Division, mostly different. Some days I prefer Joy Division and some days I prefer to listen to New Order.

I like many movies and TV shows, but there are only a few songs that I like and even fewer bands I love. Joy Division and New Order are the only two bands in this world that I love.

@canuck21 they can't TOUCH Joy Division..that was the real deal. Yes. it's great they are here...but not f'in' Joy Division by a long shot!!!!

[jth112]

All my favorite performances of this song are the ones from the hacienda

[JanetMabel]

Oh youve got GREYYYY eyeeez

[youwinoneinternets]

They chose Barney on vocals purely because he sounded the least like Ian and I think that was the best call the could have made. For JD fans who don't like NO, fair enough, but you're missing out bigtime. You probably also never even listened to Movement, if you like JD you would do well to approach NO chronologically to get into them. As far as I'm concerned Movement was Joy Divisions last album, just without Ian lol.

@charlie123abc360 Sure Barney's voice is more "poppy" because New Order's music itself is more "poppy", but being more "poppy" doesn't make it pop. That was my point because it seems that some don't have any concept of in between. It's either dark or it's mainstream pop which is very narrow-minded.
