Does this belong here? Re: Joy Division
In 1994 Sumner said the band's characteristic sound "came out naturally: I'm more rhythm and chords, and Hooky was melody. He used to play high lead bass because I liked my guitar to sound distorted, and the amplifier I had would only work when it was at full volume. When Hooky played low, he couldn't hear himself. Steve has his own style which is different to other drummers. To me, a drummer in the band is the clock, but Steve wouldn't be the clock, because he's passive: he would follow the rhythm of the band, which gave us our own edge." [2]
I like that the faulty amplifier caused Peter Hook to adopt the bass sound that would become one of their trademarks
Actually from my limited experience of producing music accidents are among the most thrilling things about making music
