Bass players are always the underdogs of the band, but I made sure that I was never viewed as one. I went out of my way to steal as much limelight as I could.
From Peter Hook
The worst words I could ever hear as a bass player was, 'Can you play the root notes?'
When I'm not playing music, certainly the last thing I want to do is listen to music!
People go and hide, but I don't. I'm a fighter.
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.
Over the years, Joy Division has become a huge part of music culture.
Accept what you did do, and live with it.
I regularly go to concerts with my children sharing the music.
