The top 10 most inspiring quotes by Peter Hook
- I suppose in the end, it’s almost too easy to look back and say what you should have done or how you might have changed things. What’s harder—what’s much, much harder—is to accept what you actually did.
- There’s a very fine line between being artistic and being a dickhead – it’s like love and hate.
- Nobody is the same. If we were all the same, it would be bloody boring.
- It’s quite ironic I suppose, it’s that thing about being in a group when you all start out as friends and then invariably end up hating each other. So I just thought they needed telling really, in case they were labouring under the apprehension that they were still friends.
- The chemistry involved made everything Factory did quite special.
- I think that you have to bear in mind that music is about escape, and it’s not unreasonable to think the music business would be based around escapism.
- I think the most important thing about what musicians do is the music. You can be as big an arsehole as you want, but if you’re not making good music, you won’t get away with it.
- When digital recording came in about ’84, everything started to follow digital. Now, you’ve got the best recording media in the world, but it’s not very pleasing to the ear.
- I think people expect mud at festivals, I think you’d be asking for your money back if you didn’t get it.
- The scary thing is when I did my set in Texas everyone was excited. The show was great. I was done and the next DJ put something on vinyl and the difference! The quality!
Peter Hook is an influential English musician best known as the bassist and co-founder of the post-punk bands Joy Division and New Order. Born on February 13, 1956, in Salford, England, Hook’s distinctive basslines became emblematic of both bands’ sound, contributing significantly to their critical and commercial success.
Hook formed Joy Division in 1976 with Bernard Sumner, Ian Curtis, and Stephen Morris. The band’s dark, atmospheric music and Curtis’s haunting lyrics garnered a cult following, but tragedy struck with Curtis’s suicide in 1980, leading to the dissolution of Joy Division.
Following Curtis’s death, the remaining members formed New Order, incorporating more electronic and dance elements into their music. Hook’s bass remained a defining feature, shaping hits like “Blue Monday” and “Bizarre Love Triangle.”
Despite New Order’s success, internal tensions led to Hook’s departure from the band in 2007. He subsequently formed Peter Hook and The Light, performing Joy Division and New Order’s music.
In addition to his musical endeavors, Hook has authored several books, including “Unknown Pleasures: Inside Joy Division” and “Substance: Inside New Order,” offering insights into his experiences within both bands.
Peter Hook’s innovative basslines and contributions to the post-punk and electronic music scenes have solidified his legacy as a pivotal figure in alternative music.
