Hook adds that he recently visited Ian's grave at Macclesfield Cemetery. Ian's best friend Kelvin Biggs, who is a good friend of mine, has got the collection now and we're planning to do a podcast about it." "His wife took it off the turntable and put it with the rest of the records. He is currently planning to sift through the late singer's original vinyl collection: Iggy Pop's The Idiot was said to be the last record Curtis played before taking his life by suicide. We used to do Riders On The Storm."Īs Hooky suggests, there are a lot of myths about the life of Ian Curtis. Ian then lent me the first Doors album and I thought, 'We do sound like them'. "Barney would sit there saying, 'Who are these Doors? Everyone says we sound like them'. I'd never heard of Iggy or the Velvets he introduced me to it all," says Hook.
"Ian gave me Metallic KO and it blew my mind. The roots of Joy Division were cemented when the pair met Ian Curtis at another Sex Pistols gig later that year. I went to buy a guitar at Mazel's and said to the bloke: 'It's only got four strings', he said: 'That's because it's a bass'." "After it, I said to Barney, 'We should form a band' and I became a bass player by default.

"I saw them four times, twice at the Lesser Free Trade Hall and twice at the Electric Circus," he says, and it was the first of those four gigs that would inspire Hook to change course. Hook worked at Butlin's, a tea warehouse and the Manchester Ship Canal Company before having something of an epiphany when seeing the Sex Pistols in Manchester at one of the most famous gigs in British music history – it was also attended by Morrissey and Mark E Smith – on June 4 1976. He f***ing blanked me – I knew it was a bad idea." "He just said: 'I know' and turned around. I don't do things like that, but I went over and said: 'Hiya George I'm Peter Hook from New Order, I did the soundtrack for Best & Marsh.

"We had done the soundtrack to their TV series Best & Marsh: The Perfect Match, and Caroline said: 'Go over and say hello'. I was in Magaluf with my ex-wife Mrs Merton, we were in a bar and George Best was there with Rodney Marsh. We used to see him all the time at nightclubs and clothes shops. "In those days, players that had an apprenticeship at United had to have a proper job. I was 18 and on the first day the guy said, 'The last person that sat at your desk was George Best'. "My mum worked at the Manchester Ship Canal Company and got me a job there. I used to park the coaches for the away fans which was really interesting, especially when Leeds came".Īpparently, he also once took George Best's old job. "My best mate was a City fan so we'd go to one ground one week and the other the next. "I was born in Ordsall near the ground, where I lived you could see Old Trafford," explains 'Hooky'. BEFORE having a life-changing experience seeing the Sex Pistols in Manchester, bass wielding Joy Division co-founder Peter Hook's first love was football, growing up as a proud Salford lad and United supporter.
