Any finances that were related to the band as an original 4-piece should be fairly collected 4 ways including performance royalties, concert performances of Gilbert/Hook/Morris/Sumner compositions performed live, mechanical rights, merchandising, et cetera per agreement from 1981 until setting up Vitalturn. Royalties (etc) should be distributed/collected as per agreement at the time of 2001-2005, per inclusion of Phil Cunningham. Anything post 2006 royalties (etc) should be distributed/collected as per agreement at the time previous arrangement.

I fucking LOVE New Order - in all configurations - but what you don't do, is fucking chintz someone out of money rightfully owned to them either by not paying them or unilaterally reducing period royalties - regardless of you like them or not, or of they are still in the band or not.

All things being equal from what little we know, the other three knew exactly what they were doing and sought to force Peter's hand financially in effort that they'd "win" by getting the whole lawsuit tied up in red tape to force the other to give up due to depletion of funds. That's basic strategy.

Give him his money.

The courts needs to make New Order pay out and move on completely separate of legal ties and Hooky gets his rightful money and he makes a clean break from them.

The courts could then slap Hooky with a "cease and desist" upon settlement regarding potentially slanderous commentary towards any of the five current band members moving forward from settlement.


I Don't know a lot about the court case but If Your right saying he wants an equal cut of performance rights of the songs he wrote then surely it works the other way too so they should get 75% of his covers band gigs?

Plus the live albums etc?

And some one from bm at the hac classical gigs?

Perhaps they do already?

It's not quite the same in reverse, because The Light is performing a cover and not representing themselves as New Order. New Order, obviously, are.

Might have posted this already but a really good book explaining the legalities of this stuff is David Byrne's "How Music Works"

You seem close to the source? How is it his rightful money?

Is the current deal, 25% on back royalties for stuff he played on regardless, past and future sales? But he also wants 12.5% of 2007/Music Complete revenue? Seems a bit greedy for doing nothing. Not saying Hooky's only motivated by money - he owes St.Bernard his career for inventing post-modern discopop rock and should be forever in his debt......instead of writing 700+pages of nonsense of how he was wronged.

Maybe he should read the Lol Tolhurst book.

Whoever wins, I have a feeling that Hook is slightly blinded by the sense that he has been wronged in his eyes. Of course, the people you are paying several hundred pounds an hour aren't going to disagree with you.

Dunno of that was addressed to me or not(?), but I would be interested in reading the Lol Tolhurst book at some point. I was also thinking about XTC/Andy Partridge's legal battles as well - but that's compairing Oranges and Lemons (HA!) to Hooky/New Order.

I love reading about all the legal stuff artists face. The pertinent legal sections in the book about Alan Klein's is fascinating as well - especially the Verve/Rolling Stones drama.

But I digress... Both feel very wronged and justified in stance, I'm sure. As long as New Order continue to roll the income in from touring, they can continue to draw this saga out for quite a while still.

OK no problem. No I'm not close to Bernard or ever have been. Just curious what money you think Hooky's owed?

It does appear he wants 12.5% of all revenue from 2011 onwards

From New Order website:

"Obviously the band are disappointed that Peter is pursuing this claim in this particular way. The reports so far take a number of things out of context. Peter still, for instance, receives his full share of all back catalogue royalties. This dispute relates only to the share of income he takes from our work without him since 2011."

The three links provided thru this forum (so far) - especially the link provided by NOOL user Foppish - gives a resonably clear picture of why Hooky is owed due money.

As for 2011 onwards, I haven't seen or read anything beyond what was on the official website. They wouldn't exactly admit some wrong doing would they?

But this is VERY interesting of true: "...shareholders (the defendants) met to amend the company’s articles to enable written resolutions of directors to be passed by a majority of them (and not all of them as previously).

Then by a written resolution the three other directors resolved to ask the shareholders to approve (which they did by written shareholders’ resolution) a trademark licence by which the rights to use the New Order name and trademarks would be licensed to a separate company, to be renamed New Order Ltd, which was owned and controlled by just the three of them. The trademark licence was dated that day.

Neither of the shareholders’ written resolution was circulated to Mr Hook. The judge remarked that that was a criminal offence under the Companies Act 2006, although he accepted that each resolution was validly passed." ( Source )

I seem to recall reading somewhere that Hooky tried to register NewOrderNow around the same time as well. It would be interesting to read his version of events if that's true.

I suspect that Nu Ordagh will probably use his attempt to break up the band and his subsequent behaviour as the reasoning for going ahead without him. I can't blame them.

I've finished, too, and entirely agree with Fotzepolitic. It's actually put me off New Order and recording artists in general; most appear to be narcissists. Still, it's a good book; and better than Bernard's. However, I'm not sure I enjoyed reading it...

Whatever you think of Hook, the book is certainly much more interesting than Chapter & Verse. Much of what went on was severely at odds of the image of New Order when I was growing up with them in the 1980's.

Hook and Sumner are very different characters and in a sense, bands need that. There is nothing worse when bands have songwriters that are all the same, as you in effect end up with one songwriter. However, it seems there was a constant battle of what Hook and Sumner thought New Orders sound should be.

I've read both books and you have to read somewhere in between the lines. Hook does seem a little obsessed with Barney and seems insecure - not unreasonably - that his role was slowing getting written out or at the very least down by the de facto leader, 'Barry Summer'.

You can't help agree with some of Hooky's points. i.e New Orders excruciating lack of diversity and back catalogue of their live set, turning into the band they spent years to avoid, change in Barney's vocals and my favourite, criticism of the worst track by New Order or in fact any band, 'Rock The Shack'.Tongue

He is unnecessarily harsh on Gillian. She was never meant to be 'an equal' player from the start. She was brought in to play Barney keyboard parts and play guitar when he was signing. It was an inspired 'signing' by Rob. Where the problem lies is money - I have never, ever understood why some bands split writing royalties with all remembers - this is madness and it will come back to haunt you when invariably one or more members are pulling their weight more than others and this clearly is a problem with Gillian's part in the band and also Barney's large part in the writing and production process. It was unsustainable and I'm not surprised that we have the mess we have.

Rightly or wrongly, Hook was a man that couldn't cope in the end with whatever Neworder had become and had had enough. Whatever the court case holds, we won't see them together again.

7 Reasons... I won't read this fucking book:
1. Hooky is to writing what Stephen Hawking is to back flips. 'Fuck me, what a life... Our first tour, I think.'
2. I refuse to support Hooky's pension fund. Popsters make too much money anyway and if I had a spare 25 quid it'd go to Amnesty, Oxfam or the barman.
3. New Order's 'leisurely' (i.e. fucking meagre) output does not deserve yet another retread. Write something new.
4. Celebrity bios don't appeal to me cos the actual work is rarely that deep. If you research Ingmar Bergman's life it gives you valuable insight into the films. I don't care how many Es Bernard dropped to write lyrics as bad as 'Every Second Counts'.
5. Hooky is beastly.
6. Hooky is beastly.
7. Hooky is beastly.

To give Hooky his due, he can string a sentence together, his writing isn't bad at all. But what he writes seems to be full of hate and regret for himself and everyone he's involved with. Bernard's book was pedestrian and read like an extended magazine interview.

I don't think there's much beneath the surface of New Order that we don't already know, just a gradual progression into becoming professional musicians. I think books about Rob Gretton, Tony Wilson or even Alan Wise would be a lot more interesting.

The two 80's musician biographies i'd recommend are Marc Almond's Tainted Life and Julian Cope's Head-On and Repossessed. They write with a self-awareness and mindfulness. You get the sense that they're also sorting themselves out by writing the books. They're both really funny too.

As I said before, the only rock bio I enjoyed was Lydon and I preferred his opinions and personal insights to the done-to-death story of the Pistols.

Yeah! It's like Mel C and Geri. I prefer Mel C because of her superior singing / dancing / athletic abilities, respect for hersef and the fans, note perfect performances, contributions to Comic Relief and eschewing of supergroup excess / plastic surgery / misogynistic clichés. My Dad prefers Geri cos tits.
Competition time: Find the one nice thing Hooky says about another human being who is not himself, his bass-playing son or a singer who hung himself in 1980.

Dave Fanning did an interview with Hooky. Nothing massively new or revealing in the main. There is some mention of New Order (Gillian, Steve and Bernard) loosing big money somewhere or somehow with an investment/pension during the financial collapse in 2008 and this was the catalyst for their return from 2011 onwards, not their concern for Michael Shamberg. 13:00 or so.

11:30 in, Hooky states that Johhny Marr asked him to work together.

There is also some discussion of the Caroline Aherne controversy, which is interesting.

TF1.0.


I read about that in the first Electronic period. Johnny said Hook asked to collaborate but Bernard got there first - and that was when he started criticising The Smiths and him in particular. In 1992 Hooky said the new album 'won't have guest appearances by Johnny Marr or anything like that.'

Just finished the eBook. I wish I hadn't read it frankly. Its causing delays in my next reviews.

Note to self: must focus on the music... must focus on the music...

My lasting impression: Bitching and whinging. Caligulan debauchery & gold standard drug and alcohol abuse held up as laddish kudos. Gross mistreatment of partners (in all directions). And waste. So much waste.

If Hook's intention was to rip open his fanbase's last vestige of blissful ignorance by laying bare his/their inner sanctum's addled, powdered, pus-filled carry-on, then he's nailed it. What's weird is in-between his stories of blow jobs in the alley, you get these verbose descriptions of studio terminology, and song recollections that in most cases repeat a mantra of: (paraphrasing) "Sumner's a c^&t but geez he's good, Stephen didn't do much unless he did, Gillian did almost nothing unless she did, and my bits were increasingly mixed out unless they weren't - in the 15 minutes that I wasn't paralytic (again - ha ha)."

Inside New Order indeed. Through its arse with a fucking endoscope. Dead




Bring on Stephen's book. Quick.
