   Books Read in 2017 (1,020) Actuellement, il n'y a pas de discussions au sujet de ce livre.   ) AlisonSakai | Dec 16, 2023 |  This isn't a tell-all book, which is refreshing for me. Some like to bathe in the debauchery that entertainers have gone through. Sumner touches on some of these things, but mostly focuses on relationships, and the successes and failures that Joy Division and New Order had through their history, and some of his own thoughts about Electronic and Bad Lieutenant. I have been a New Order and Electronic fan for some time, and reading this book increased my interest in listening to their music, which I have done with more regularity during and since reading. I feel that Sumner's explanation of what happened with New Order and Peter Hook appear to be balanced, without ad hominem attacks. I give it a 3 out of 5 because I enjoyed it, but I don't anticipate wanting to read it again. ( ) quinton.baran | Mar 29, 2021 | At the same time, Sumner explains his growing up in Salford, Manchester, a lot. It's been really interesting to read about his upbringing and how he's handled things, including massive success. Sumner's really self-deprecating which is funny and injects air into the story. In other words, he takes the piss out of himself which is fun. All in all: a good read on what his life's been like so far. He seems to know that he's lucky enough to be able to support himself by creating and performing music. ( ) pivic | Mar 21, 2020 | New Order were famous for their hedonism, but I was relieved that he dialled down the drugs, drink 'n debauchery to focus more on the music and the personalities - not neglecting some of the epic legal struggles in which the band has been involved. If you are interested in the music of the post-punk and acid house eras, or if you are keen to read an English perspective that is distinctly Northern, I think you'll enjoy this book.

Founding member and guitarist of Joy Division and the lead singer of New Order, Bernard Sumner has been famous over the years for his reticence. Until nowâe¦ An integral part of the Manchester music scene since the late 1970s, his is the definitive version of the events that created two of the most influential bands of all time. Chapter and Verse includes a vivid and illuminating account of Bernardâe(tm)s Salford childhood, the early days of Joy Division, the bandâe(tm)s enormous critical and popular success, and the subsequent tragic death of Ian Curtis. Bernard describes the formation of New Order, takes us behind the scenes at the birth of classics such as 'Blue Monday' and gives his first-hand account of the ecstasy and the agony of the Haçienda days. Sometimes moving, often hilarious and occasionally completely out of control, this is a tale populated by some of the most colourful and creative characters in music history, such as Ian Curtis, Tony Wilson, Rob Gretton and Martin Hannett. Others have told parts of the story, in film and book form. Now, for the first time, Bernard Sumner gives you chapter and verse. Aucune description trouvée dans une bibliothèque |
