Extremely harsh...
To be fair, Hookie was always the sentimental one who seemed proudest of his Joy Division's legacy.
I don't begrudge him this at all. Especially as the others are going out as NO without him. If he was calling himself Joy Division I would have a very different attitude but he isn't.
I saw him join Mark Lanegan on-stage in Manchester a couple of years ago for an encore consisting of Atmosphere and Love Will Tear Us Apart. It was fabulous hearing those basslines live (and Lanegan is ideally suited to singing those songs).
