‘The cover of Republic was reputedly a comment about the decadence in today’s society. The cover shows two people playing on the beach in the present day, while a house burns down next to them. The next picture signifies the transformation of the earth, beginning with wave and water, water being the earth’s predominant feature four billion years ago. Then we have simple lifeforms in plants and trees, which will inhabit the new terrestrial earth. With the formation of cities, pollution becomes a problem, and man has to inhabit biospheres because the earth will eventually become uninhabitable.
‘The images are also supposedly representative of the fall of the republic of Rome, and the belief that our civilisation is heading in the same direction. As Rome edged nearer and nearer its fall, the patricians arranged for circuses to entertain the plebians while the cities declined. Me, I just thought it was a load of old bollocks.’

‘When Barney and I had done the promotion for Republic in Denmark earlier in the year, we had ended up vying for the attention of a beautiful A&R girl and fought over her, right to the end of the night. We ended up in a club having a very heated discussion over who was going to cop for her, when I got a tap on the shoulder. Turning round, this kid says to me, “Hi, I’m Def Leppard’s bass player.”
‘I said, “Fuck off, can’t you see we’re busy,” to my eternal shame, and turned away to carry on arguing with Barney.
‘When we got back to the hotel I had her and we stopped the lift at Barney’s floor so he could get out. When I looked at her face she was smiling and I wondered at what? Looking in the mirror I could see Barney in the corridor all sad-faced, imploring her to join him, making a little heart with his two hands and pouting.
‘Luckily for him the doors shut.
‘So anyway, fast-forward to this festival and I met up with her, and went off to her tent in the forest and got completely lost. When I finally arrived backstage them lot had left me. I was stranded in the middle of nowhere for four hours and it cost me a fortune in a taxi. As I got to the hotel, Rex Sargeant was just being arrested for passing fake currency. Porno for Pyros were on the line-up and had been throwing around fake hundred-dollar bills, really bad fakes, and Rex had used one to pay his bar bill so the hotel had called the police. Which was very lucky for me because they’d been planning to leave me there, the bastards. Jane wouldn’t even look at me.’
10 July 1993
New Order play Loreley Bizarre Festival, St Goarshausen, Germany.
21 July 1993
New Order play Starplex Amphitheatre, Dallas, Texas.
‘Jonny Hugo was obsessed with John Shuttleworth and introduced us all to “What Have I Done with My Life”, “Catch the Fox” etc. Those songs became the soundtrack to the tour. It was also the first time we had taken a wardrobe dresser with us, a lad called Greg who had styled us on a couple of occasions in England, and was now responsible for looking after our stage clothes.
‘In catering I had met someone who could get us some drugs, but it was nearly show time so the only one free to go was this guy who worked with us, called Jim. When we came off there was no sign of him and after an hour or so, just as we were starting to get worried, we found him wandering round backstage, completely off his face.
‘He said, “I got three ounces but the kid’s a right nutter and wouldn’t let me go . . . kept feeding me drugs . . . took me ages to lose him.”
‘Then a cry rang out, “There you are, muthafukker!”
‘ “Oh shit. It’s him,” said Jim, and legged it. Then we couldn’t get rid of the dealer. We went from club to club in Dallas, trying to dump him at every opportunity, until at the third club he pulled out a silver revolver and shoved it under my chin, snot streaming from both nostrils, saying, “Do that again, man, and you’re dead meat.”
‘Luckily a bouncer saw him and wrestled the gun off him, pinning him down and shouting for the police. I ran straight in the club and on to the dancefloor. Heaven. This place was just like bloody Manchester.’

‘Barney had been joined by Sarah and their baby son, Dylan, for a few gigs. Unfortunately it didn’t seem to have much effect on his moods. I have one abiding memory of him running offstage after a gig, straight into a limo and driving off to the hotel. As I waved him off, Sarah shot past me pushing the buggy and shouting. He’d forgotten them. After a few yards the limo stopped and the family were, thankfully, reunited.’
4 August 1993
New Order play Brendan Byrne Arena, East Rutherford, New Jersey.
‘Tom played a great trick on me here. We were all so pissed off by now that none of us would do any promotion or meetings after the show whatsoever (grip and grins, we called them). He came to me and said, “Hooky, I need a big favour. We have a competition winner here. This girl has won this really difficult competition, beating thousands of people, can you come and say hello to her? For me, please?”
‘ “What was the competition, Tom?” I asked.
‘ “I don’t know, man, but this girl aced it, she was magnificent. She’s your biggest fan.”
‘Intrigued, I said, “OK.”
‘I really wasn’t in the mood but I loved this man. For ages he led me through the bowels of the huge arena until we at last appeared in a room full of gawping people, and as I wiped my nose the young lady was brought over. She was very nonchalant, nonplussed even, so as I stood there feeling like a spare prick at a wedding, the only thing I could think to say was, “What was the competition you won, love, what was the question?”
‘ “Oh there was no competition,” she shrugged, “I was just the thirteenth caller.”
‘I turned round. “Tom fucking Atencio!” I bellowed.
‘Tom set off running down the corridors with me after him, screaming, “FUCK YOU, FUCKER!” ’

Now that we’ve grown up together,
He’s playing with my wi–illy.
Jackson was being investigated for allegations of sexual abuse against minors.
‘Our last gig. I felt abused myself.’
