I briefly worked with a bloke like that.
He was a big New order fan, so I told him I saw them at Reading festival in 1989 and that they were utterly shite live, at which he was visibly disappointed to hear. "Aw, if I ever get the chance to see them I'd have to think twice now".

A week later, he said that there was one band he'd seen live who were really disappointing. Guess who they were?

New Fast Automatics Daffodils?
I've seen New Order a few times. It's more like watching a football match than a gig. Thousands of middle-aged shaven-headed mancunian fuckwits jumping up and down and shouting. If they shout loud enough to drown out Barnie's tuneless wailing then it's quite a good laugh.

Mr Sumner has possibly the worst singing voice I've ever experienced.
Utterly dreadful.

I don't mind some of their earlier stuff.
But they were shockingly awful live.

I like New Order but I can believe this
I remember (probably from a TOTP2 repeat) a live TOTP performance of Blue Monday that, er, wasn't the greatest.

Saw them play Wolverhampton Civic Hall
I can safely say it's one of the oddest gigs I've ever been to. It's particularly curious to see a collapsing mosh pit in a crowd that's only ten deep.

I've just gone red for him

He was an utter fucktard.
Considering he was employed as a chef, he had no visible talent in this field of work whatsoever. I think he lasted about 3 weeks before he was sacked.
