Peter Hook schools me on how to play Love Will Tear Us Apart, Manchester UK 7/01

Description

I was lucky enough to get to go to Manchester UK in summer '01 to interview New Order in advance of their "Get Ready" album. I was the last interview, and the band was preparing to tour with Moby's Area 2 festival, so instead of doing the interview at a hotel in Manchester, I got to drive out to the countryside where Stephen, the drummer, lived with family - and where the band, I discerned from the thump thump thumpa thumpa thump through the farmhouse walls as we rolled up past the grandpa in wellies and the sheepdog - rehearsing for the tour. Full interview clips to follow, but I did get a chance to play Hooky's bass and my favorite bassline - only to get schooled that I was in fact playing it wrong. Galaxy 500 had the same experience when they covered "Ceremony."

If you'd like to see more, let me know in the comments because I've got a ton of these things.
