Peter Hook Zitate auf Englisch

Zitat des Tages von Peter Hook:

The scary thing is when I did my set in Texas everyone was excited. The show was great. I was done and the next DJ put something on vinyl and the difference! The quality!!

The reason Joy Division and New Order are as influential and successful as they are is because of the unique playing of all the individuals.

I've watched so-called 'New Order' playing in Auckland, and Tom Chapman is miming along to my bass on tape... He's got his fingers on the low, and you can hear my high bass in the background. So he's miming.

I'm one of those old cynics that thinks, whoever you vote for, the government always gets in.

We don't to be some kind of rock supergroup for the sake of being a supergroup. You want to change things and say something fresh and new so you appeal to people as a new group.

I have a hard time getting my head around the idea of playing 'The Perfect Kiss' in my 50s. I can't quite get there.

I've stayed in hotels where you were scared to even put your feet on the floor, or had to sleep in a chair.

Peter Hook

I don't pretend to be Joy Division or New Order. What I do is very straight forward: it's an interpretation and a celebration of the music, with different people. Everyone looks at it and knows exactly what I'm doing.

Peter Hook

People go and hide, but I don't. I'm a fighter.

Peter Hook

The fact is that you don't want to be away forever, but you want to lead a normal life.

Nobody is the same. If we were all the same it would be bloody boring.

Originally, I didn't play any New Order when I deejayed. I suppose it comes from being a little embarrassed or humble or whatever. But people were coming to see me because of New Order, so in the end, I had to realize that if they were using my name on the poster, then maybe I should play some of the music.

And they do tend to be fast and up, because that's how I like to drive.

When you balance it against New Order, New Order don't work or tour relentlessly. We definitely work in our own way and sometimes it's a bit too slow for me, so I like to plan ahead and fill my time up.

Peter Hook

I read one too many books about Joy Division by people who weren't there, and they always seem to dwell on the dark, the intense, the miserable image of Joy Division.
