There isn’t much we can say about ‘Love Will Tear us Apart’ that you won’t already know. We could tell you how it continues to this day to offer a place of solace for the lonely or misunderstood. We could say how it remains a bittersweet moment of what could have been. But we thought it would be best to leave it to the Hook himself to share his fee...
Simply genius. But as with many of the bands during the late seventies genius was born out of necessity. With so many cheap amps knocking around with Joy Division, Hooky needed to play high up the fretboard or risk not being heard at all. It meant that his mammoth basslines soon became a mainstay of JD’s sound. It’s most poignantly heard on the las...
While a case can be made for all the members of Joy Division being experts in their field, Stephen Morris is a truly sensational drummer, Curtis a murderous singer and Sumner a clean an efficient guitar player, Hooky is the only member who can be sure that without him the band would never have succeeded. Hook’s basslines were the band’s main point ...
‘Age of Consent’ is driven by the bassline and it goes down as Peter Hook’s favourite. Pulling out of the station like a chugging powerhouse, the rest of the track builds on the solid foundation Hook lays down. Hook once saying, “To a bass player, it was such a gift. The song is lead by the bass and it’s very melodic. That’s my favourite New Order ...
Tony Wilson once said of Joy Division, “Punk enabled you to say ‘fuck you’, but it couldn’t go any further. It was a single, venomous, two-syllable phrase of anger. Sooner or later, someone was going to say more; someone was going to want to say ‘I’m fucked.’” The first song on the band’s first album would always need to be a statement and with ‘Di...
Following the iconic ‘Blue Monday’ would always be a difficult thing to do. The song that launched a thousand synthesisers cannot be underestimated but it was ‘thieves like Us’ that really put Hook in the spotlight with New Order—but it didn’t come directly from his own mind. As Hook toldLouder Sound, “I’m not ashamed to say I stole it from Emma, b...
While with New order, Hook would work his way up the fretboard, on ‘Atmosphere’, a French-only release until Curtis’ death, he takes it low. It is this depth of field that allows the rest of the song to grow. Building ground for other’s to flourish is part of the bassist manifesto (not that Hook paid much attention to it) and it’s unmistakable on ‘...
Much of ‘She’s Lost Control’s power comes from Ian Curtis’ powerful lyricism. Written about the moment he witnessed a woman having a seizure in the office he was working in as a result of epilepsy, the song’s predestined nature could leave this song feeling on the wrong side of chilling. Despite the sad foreshadowing of the song’s conception, this ...
Arguably one of the most arresting numbers of Joy Division’s back catalogue is another showing of Hook’s methodical control. It is a dark and scary riff that rumbles on as the buzzsaw guitar begins to enter the fray. It is one of Hook’s most unrelenting riffs as he menacingly provides the backdrop for Curtis’ lyrical musings. Simple but brilliant.
In the mid-eighties, Peter Hook’s basslines had become a key element of New Order’s success yet with their direction heading ever more closely towards electronic music, Hook’s involvement became a little more sparse. Incredibly this seemed to make his contribution more vital. As can be heard in this classic 1987 hit, Hook’s sequenced bass line is a...
Hook adds that he recently visited Ian’s grave at Macclesfield Cemetery. It’s now a place of pilgrimage for a new generation of fans around the globe. “There were a lot of flowers there when I visited a couple of days ago” suggests Hook. “The same reason Joy Division caught that generation between 1978 and 1980 is the same reason it ...
Oct 18, 2021 · The power of Joy Division’s 1980 song, released a month after singer Ian Curtis’s death, comes in the contrast between its elements. When the Manchester dance band New Order toured the US in the late 1980s, one of their song choices bemused audiences: a version of Joy Division’s “Love Will Tear Us Apart”. “People,” said bassist ...
