Talk:Martin Hannett/Archive 1

Untitled
The style of this article is innapropriate for an encyclopedia. It is overwritten, and contains alot of subjective and/or meaningless description.
 * It also neglects his pre-Joy Division work, especially the first Buzzcock ep (Spiral Scratch) and his showcasing of John Cooper Clarke's recorded poetry. LessHeard vanU 19:23, 14 April 2007 (UTC)
 * it also neglects that Hannett produced the first two Peel sessions for the Fall


 * Yep, there is more to Hannett than Joy Division. My favourite of his works is with John Cooper Clarke - "I married a monster from Outer Space" is up there with the album version of "She's lost control" in terms of echo and delay. I remember reading somewhere than Clark's band the invisable girls were basically the live at the witches trial fall line up. That said the first two fall peel sessions are a bit scratchy, and imo not very good. Ceoil 18:40, 20 July 2007 (UTC)

It was June Fourth, 1976 and that night I attended one of the most important concerts in the history of punk rock, and new wave. It took place at the Manchester free trade hall, or should I say the lesser free trade hall, a small room upstairs from the free trade hall. I know a lot of people claim to be there that were not, but I swear I was there. I entered as Morrissey (later to become a member of the Smiths, and then to go on to a successful solo career) introduced the Sex Pistols, I originally came to see them, and the Buzzcocks perform. Turns out that the Buzzcocks were not prepared to perform, this was a big disappointment. A lot of people came who would later go on to become important figures in the music scene in Manchester. Tony Wilson was there, he would go on to form Factory Records, which Joy Division, New Order, and the Happy Mondays would later work for. Ian Curtis attended, he was the front man of a band call Warsaw, a band better known as Joy Division, he would kill himself in four years. I also met other members of Joy Division that would later go on to form New Order after Ian’s death, they were Peter Hook, and Bernard Sumner. Even Jon the Postman was in attendance. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 199.176.183.15 (talk) 18:19, 13 March 2008 (UTC)
 * Why do you seem to believe that someone reading the talkpage of Martin Hannett wouldn't know that Warsaw became Joy Division, the name of other band members, the fact that Curtis killed himself, or indeed most of that stuff... As for the Invisible Girls - my understanding was it was much the same group that backed Jilted John, with Hannett on bass and Karl Burns of the Fall (numerous marks) on guitar.

 * read the first sentence again. what book did you read?
 * What book? What Book? The only reason I didn't buy "Guillotine: A Factory Sampler" upon release was because my local music shop was selling it with a Virgin Records compilation (since it was also a 10" lp) as a package, and I had already got the Virgin lp (can't remember the name, but it had "Don't Dictate" by Penetration, "All Wi Doin Is Defendin" by Poet & the Roots, and "Oh, Bondage, Up Yours" by X-Ray Spex, and I still have it somewhere), plus the Spiral Scratch ep (second edition, not the original - sob!) with production by Martin Zero, plus Jilted John by Jilted John, plus the Joy Division Flexi discs, plus the Crispy Ambulance 10" single, plus... y'know, I was one of those southerner softies who were right pissed off when certain events got a factory pressing number - because I was not then able to collect the lot... Still got the 12" ep by ESG, though... What book, indeed! LessHeard vanU (talk) 21:45, 6 May 2008 (UTC)
 * Just a note, the Virgin records sampler was called "Guillotine", whereas the regrettably missed Factory record was the famous "Factory Sampler"... It was a long time ago. LessHeard vanU (talk) 08:31, 18 May 2008 (UTC)

Johnny Vegas
When Hannett comes back and shoots at Wilson, it's Johnny Vegas (he was even more corpulent then than now) but voiced by Serkis. If you look closely it's definitely him but uncredited. I didn't notice until I listened to the DC.Keith-264 (talk) 00:34, 23 January 2018 (UTC)
 * Uncredited and that shot lasts, what, 3 seconds? That's all? Not sure if that can be considered he 'played' Hannett. Also, is director's commentary considered a reliable third party source? I doubt it. I won't reverse again, no need to start an edit war over this, but I don't think Johnny Vegas should be listed as playing Hannett. Your opinion?  Y intan   16:25, 23 January 2018 (UTC)
 * Thanks, I found him in the "Special thanks" section on IMDB and I think he's significant regardless of the role or it's length but like you I'm not in the mood for a punch up over it. Since it was a drive-by edit after I'd re-watched the film and "It's my belief that history is a wheel. "Inconsistency is my very essence" -says the wheel- "Rise up on my spokes if you like but don't complain when you are cast back down into the depths. Good times pass away but then so do the bad. Mutability is our tragedy but it is also our hope. The worst of times, like the best, are always passing away.". I'll leave it to your discretion. ;O)Keith-264 (talk) 20:51, 23 January 2018 (UTC)
 * IMDb is not considered reliable, but leaving that aside for a moment, I'll see if I can find a proper source for Vegas' brief appearance. If I can't, I'll take him out of the article. After all, his contribution to the film is very minor to say the least. If you can find a good source, please add it. Cheers,  Y intan  11:08, 24 January 2018 (UTC)

"who killed martin hannett?"
can't believe there's no mention of this book, & yet the bloke who's busy ebay-ing off any scrap of hannett's old gear he can find based on the very slim possibility that it might've been used on something famous, his book gets a nice big shout. so yeah, I'm crying 'foul' here. this needs sorting.

Archiving
I took the liberty of adding an archiving bot to this page. Hope that's okay. But threads from 12 years ago can (and should) be archived, I think. They're still available by clicking on the Archives box at the top of the page.  Y intan  19:55, 26 April 2019 (UTC)
