Raj Posted 10 August 2007 Posted 10 August 2007 You are right. He was a legend and many musicains wouldn't be around without him. When you read that article you realise what he did and whom he helped. cant remember what exactly,but he was on TV a few years ago and he still proved he knew his stuff. (Hope someone can help me out,there cos its bugging me!)
General Smuts Posted 10 August 2007 Posted 10 August 2007 This coming at the same time that New Order have officially split too. Coincidence? I hope so. EDIT: Didn't mean it to sound like i was accusing Peter Hook of killing Tony Wilson.

Lineker's Left Foot Posted 11 August 2007 Posted 11 August 2007 Respect to Tony Wilson an absolute legend in signing artists ranging from New Order, A Certain Ratio to Durutti Column... I am in shock and I'm now a bit jealous that the Angels, as they did with John Peel - God Rest His Soul - have now got another musical and knowledgeable genius. Soon we'll be left with them to*sers Simon Cowell and Pete Waterman

mancunianfox Posted 14 August 2007 Posted 14 August 2007 Happy Mondays New Order Joy Division Oasis Stone Roses Inspiral Carpets Primal Scream Wilson actually passed on the Stone Roses. Can't say as though I blame him. Wilson & Factory records did make an enormous impact on both the music industry and Britain's musical landscape and he was an integral part of Manchester's music scene. He signed some amazing bands and released many of their classic albums. Well done Tony.
General Smuts Posted 17 August 2007 Posted 17 August 2007 I just went out and bought 24 Hour Party People in honour of the man, the legend. In fairness it was on offer in Choices in the 5 for £10, i got me 10 :thumbsup:
