My big frustration in New Order was that they played the same tracks all the time.
The reason I stop playing songs is usually because I get sick of them, and then they find themselves back into the set list at some point.
There are so many songs that we just don't play anymore.
I don't like to do the same songs every night for a week. I just... it's boring and tiring and frustrating basically.
And that format was - we'd been using that format, I guess, since the late '70s, and it was starting to get very predictable. In other words, certain songs would surface in the same points in the set every so often; it was like rotation.
I will have a song that I'm in love with for a couple of months and then I'll go to something else. That's just constantly changing. And sometimes I will go back to old one that I haven't heard for a long time.
Yeah, but on the U.S Tour we threw a new song into the set almost every night. Ofcourse, you can't do too many new songs every night as they've never heard it.
My favorite songs change every year.
Some of the songs I do once in a while that I kinda... my set list is basically like my hits, there is a good reason why they are there; people really like them.
To a certain extent, yes, we do. But there's - but there's a very limited menu. There's only about sort of 20 songs that you hear on rotation.
