18 July 2001

‘It was lovely to see Mike Johnson here. He’d moved and opened a studio in Liverpool. We ended up completely trashed afterwards in the Marriott hotel in a room with Bobby Gillespie and an American designer of Xboxes who I’d picked up in the bar. The most hilarious thing I’ve ever seen was Bobby trying to talk to this geezer in a very drunken broad Scottish accent. The guy didn’t understand a word and Bobby ended up chasing him out of the room and down the corridor. Shame. I’d been hoping for a free Xbox.’

28 July 2001

New Order play Fuji Rock Festival, Japan.

‘When we arrived we were mobbed and it was great to be back. On the bus from the airport to Tokyo everyone was buzzing with tiredness and excitement, an almost hysterical atmosphere. Then after a while someone went, “Where’s Barney?” We then noticed he wasn’t aboard. Shit. We drove back to the airport and there he was sat on a bench outside, face like thunder. The door opened and he got on and sat down without a word. For the whole of the two-hour trip to Tokyo no one spoke. Turned out he’d wandered off for a piss, not told anyone, and we’d left without him.

‘Neil Young was on the same bill on the bigger stage. He started playing before us in front of a huge audience, but as soon as we went on they all deserted him and came running down to us. It was a wonderful moment to see, all these people fucking bombing down the hill to see us. It was, “Wow, we’re back. Sorry, Neil.” We had actually seen him on the bullet train on the way and Barney tried to get me to say hello, but I was too starstruck. He is one of my all-time musical heroes, and it’s a bubble I do not want to burst.’

31 July 2001

New Order play Shoreline Amphitheatre, Mountain View, San Francisco, with Moby and Outkast.

‘Billy Corgan had got me through my virus, and on “Your Silent Face” where I don’t come in for about two minutes I started wobbling, so I thought, I’ll just have a walk off stage and have a sit down for a minute. That was when I came into my “walking about in the audience” phase. Barney didn’t notice. He never noticed anything. You could have died onstage and he wouldn’t have noticed – I just walked back onstage for when the bass came in. I was getting to be a bit of a nomad.’

‘Before this gig we were invited to the Adidas store in LA. I was getting grief off Becky, who wanted me to come back to the hotel, but the Adidas PR woman kept grabbing me and asking me to choose something from their wonderful new range. In a hurry, and very exasperated, I said, “Listen, love, why don’t you just get me the most expensive thing in the shop?” thinking, That will get rid of her! But thirty seconds later she appeared again saying, “Here, Mr Hook, it’s a limited-edition Adidas watch, one of only fifty made, $2000!” I just grabbed it off her like the spoilt, obnoxious rock star I was and legged it.’
