@Waitingforriki Susanna O'hara where are you !!!??????? Find me on FB..would be brilliant to hear from you after all these years !! If you read this I hope you are very well & please get in touch ? Rxxx
stephen morris was right, he was an ordinary bloke just like you and me who liked a bit of a laugh. i was expecting somme dark pesimistic fella like robert smith but i couldn't have been more wrong.
@PrisonBreakFilms lmfao robert smith. yea i seriously pictured ian to speak in his deep singing voice about how hopeless everything is. like someone would say "oh wow you guys are really heading somewhere" to which he would reply "what does it matter? we are all just going to die one day". that type of thing. and i'm not mocking him. a lot of 'artsy' people say those kinds of things. but ian seemed to be far more down to earth than a lou reed or david bowie (although i love them as well)
The best Joy Division interview ive heard, Theres not alot form the era and theyre usually not really relevant but here stephen has some really interesting things to say. a true gem, thanks for sharing
@MrAlanc123 I've got this interview on an old cassette i taped in 1979, i think it was from a radio programme called "rock-on", the voice at the start is Tommy Vance(?) but Skinner def did the interview. Hope that helps mate?
totally mad i heard this interview a few years ago but it was a bad copy, kinda mad hearing his voice, i got diagnosed with epilepsy at about 20 as well so i kinda have a few things in common and the stories i have heard about how his illness made him feel its not a big shock that he did take his own life. sad. r.i.p ian (sadly missed kid)
@londoncalling45 Do NOT leave idiotic comments about things you know nothing about??? I am NOT interested in your opinion..so don't bother giving me shite..cheeky fuck!!
@londoncalling45 I didn't..!? I would not be derogatory toward Ian Curtis! I was a good friend of Joy Division's producer! I was at his funeral! I loved martin a great deal & I know in turn how much he truly loved & admired Ian Curtis..he 'never' got over his suicide & in turn he too died..of heroin abuse..btw one is allowed to 'like' the Beatles..millions love 'em..cheeky scouse scamps that they were..Right let's leave it there yes? Peace!

ian curtis is one of the most influential musicians ever. he will truly be missed my millions around the world. pretty much anyone who's ever picked up a joy division album has been, since then, hooked. for me it was when i first saw control, which is a brilliant movie, by the way. ian's death was a tragedy in the world of music, and his legacy will live on forever.
pasroc, you are an idiot who listens to Riverdance and plays in a terrible prog band. Your opinion on music is made completely null and invalid based on your obvious lack of taste.
make Joy Division #1 in the UK for 18-05-10, it will have been 30 years since Ian passed, push Love will tear us Apart to the top, there is a facebook group
Ian Curtis = Legend, how he managed under so much stress n pain due 2 his medical conditions baffles me, but lets not forget Joy Divison other Legend Bernard 'Barney' Sumner, This man is shere Class, Joy Division are fantastic, thanks for this vid m8
has anyone noticed how in the song love will tear us apart how he says.... why is this bedroom so cold, turned away on your side...i found out that it reffers to when he and his girlfriend deb where in a bedroom that was cold, and she was lying on her side.. i found this out by reading the book, touching from a distance, which CONTROL was based on..... just thought i might say that... i found it interesting
@StrummerLivesxxx There completely and utterly influenced by the Doors. If u cant hear that, ure tone deaf. Yeah, the bassist supposedly never heard of the doors(which is unbeleivable), but Ian Curtis wrote the music.
@paulmaguire12345 i do not know that for sure but i do know that they say they were influenced heavily by the emerging punk groups at the time especially the buzzcocks. the buzzcocks were also featured a lot in control.
@paulmaguire12345 ian liked the doors, and he liked bowie. the album LOW. check it out.but they had thier own sound... i mean music styles dont just come up out of thin air.. but they came pretty close
@StrummerLivesxxx The members of joy division met at a pistols gig, so I think it be fair to assume that the pistols influenced. The energy joy division channels seems really quite similar to the energy channeled by punk bands
@StrummerLivesxxx Theres definite punk influences. But Joy Division wasnt really a punk band, they really took it in their own direction and thats what makes them so great. In my opionion, Joy Division was the first real new wave band.
@BrenieB he/she means joy division didnt sound inspired by any bands that came before them. the only bands i can hear in them is the doors but its not big inspiration. i think theyre one of the most innovative bands of all time. they practically invented alternative/indie.
@raftke691 Oh really? So your saying Joy Division ripped off Interpol? Thats pretty amazing considering Joy Division broke up In 1980 after Ian Curtis commited suicide and Interpol didnt form until the late 90s . I guess they must have mastered time travel too.
@charliegrs lol you're retarded, i was saying "the opposite" as in he meant other bands prior to joy division influencing joy division... wow ahahahahha
@birchy2k11 hahahahaha not that "other way around", strummerlivesxxx was implying that no bands had influenced Joy Division, then charliegrs implied that it wasn't true because of bands like interpol, which were influenced by joy division. I meant to imply charliegrs misunderstood what strummerlivesxxx had said. this is the 3rd time someone replied with something like that, if i believed joy division was influenced by interpol i don't think i would be fit to even understand how to use youtube.
and get your facts stright-jim didnt od, the causes of death are related to an early life of acute alcoholism, which he gave up on months before his (yet unfortunately too late). some people rumor that he overdosed but his biopsy said otherwise, and idk about you but think that is somewhat more reliable then rumors. and as for ian, he was a mess all his life. i think he was a good person and a great poet entertainer, but he was a fucked up if not more fucked up then jim.and he died younger
An autopsy was never performed on Jim Morrison, the main reason why so much controversy/conspiracy surrounds his death. The generally accepted cause of death is heroin overdose.
@crazyloverboy0808 JIM died of heart failure.. he wasn't on drugs at the time so it wasn't considered an OD BUT he had spent the week speedballin' coke & heroin..... im sure it's unrelated :/
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
And what the fuck do you know? Looking at your profile you've spent your miserable life being cossetted by mummy & daddy on your fat american arse, eating crap food & listening to shit. Joy Division came from a Northern English town & saw a lot more of life than you'll ever know. Curtis was more attuned to Bowie and punk, than the ramblings of an insecure hometown boy who OD'd in a bath in Paris but who was past his best. Manzarek was the real talent in that band anyway, not that you'd know
dude everyone has their own opinion and stop being racist please. notice that i said 'and i personally think...'. you don't have to agree with what i said and you also don't have to be a prick. crazyloverboy was only agreeing that he sees similarities.
just because they come from different countries doesn't mean they cant share styles. curtis fucking admitted his love for the doors. and btw how in any way was jim overweight?
Oh come on! Trust you lot to start bleating about racism when any country who doesn't agree with your policies gets the shit bombed out of them. If you knew anything about the Doors, Manzarek was the driving force behind the band, Morrison was just the frontman. Before his death, he piled on the weight through drink and drugs. The other 3 members had had enough of his lack of professionalism and he stayed in France. Curtis, like many of us, saw the Doors for more than just the idiot at the mic
wow you really are a good advertisement for all the snobby british steriotypes. wow you really extensively check everyones profile-man you need to get a fucking life. for someone who wasnt even in joy division, you sure seem to know everything about their every experience and feel you have good reason to brag. you wanna throw american steriotypes at me, fine. your arguments are terrible. yes manzarek was very talented, i never said he wasnt more talented then jim. but jim was a great entertainer
Ahh remember the bootleg tape cassette "shops" back in '79 - usually a hole in the wall, and you'd go in and there'd be a rack of tapes on the wall and I got all my live tapes then for four each, and this recording was one of the tapes with I think the Plan K concert.
PS Penetration were a great band and I'm still in love with Pauline Murray!
there is a famous saying . 'what happens it manchester today happens in london tomorrow!!' and the areas surrounding manchester..very true of the industrial revolution, the rnb/soul-northern soul era and the early 90's indie scene and even then the clothes in london were crap!! shopping in manchester kicks arse!!
The NHS wouldn't have been able to help Ian, so it does no good to keep harping about it.
If you know nothing about epilepsy, you have all sorts of medicines you have to try to get the right one for your condition. It's likely he was not on the right medicine or the right dose by then, which screws with your brain biochemistry. It makes you depressed and embarrassed. And that's if you do everything right. Add an affair, drinking, drugs, poor medicine for the time...yeah. The NHS was powerless.
everything said here is right im epileptic and ive gone threw 3 different medds drugs and alcohol do screw with it dont fuck around with your meds if you have epilepsy my firend died becuase she started skiping her pills and doing coke and drinking alot
The NHS is the British National Health Service set up in 1948 paid for by deductions from our wage packet. It was always meant to be a free service for the UK people but has been wholly open to abuse.
Unfortunately it is abused that most of the world come here for a holiday for the purpose of getting free operations paid for by the native inhabitants (ie someone like me)
Due to the total abuse, resources run low - hence the English have to suffer usually - lack of resouces nowadays.
yeah well, for half my life i was a yank and trust me our healthcare is NOTHING compared to the NHS. F**king CUBA has better than we do. Anyway, what does epilepsy have to do necessarily with Ian Curtis so totally much? We all have crap we deal with, and so did he obviously. I"m damn glad he dealt with it the way he did otherwise we never would've had been graced with his art. So I say shut up about his private affairs.
I heard Ian's voice was the softer one in any interview. In this one where they're asked what influences them Hooky and Barney are mentioned so it has to be Ian and Stephen speaking lol
Listening to the interview, I would say it was Ian and Stephen. Based on the fact that when they are discussing influences (2:30-3:05),as a for instance, they mention that "we" like the Doors although Hooky and Barney had never even heard of them. Just my opinion but I've heard other interviews with Ian before, and he has a much higher voice when talking in comparison to how he actually sings.
ian had such a sweet voice! God I would listen to him talking all day long,

Oh come on! Trust you lot to start bleating about racism when any country who doesn't agree with your policies gets the shit bombed out of them. If you knew anything about the Doors, Manzarek was the driving force behind the band, Morrison was just the frontman. Before his death, he piled on the weight through drink and drugs. The other 3 members had had enough of his lack of professionalism and he stayed in France. Curtis, like many of us, saw the Doors for more than just the idiot at the mic

wow you really are a good advertisement for all the snobby british steriotypes. wow you really extensively check everyones profile-man you need to get a fucking life. for someone who wasnt even in joy division, you sure seem to know everything about their every experience and feel you have good reason to brag. you wanna throw american steriotypes at me, fine. your arguments are terrible. yes manzarek was very talented, i never said he wasnt more talented then jim. but jim was a great entertainer

I doubted that Ian could, or would, be well portrayed in this documentary.
I was wrong.
Highly recommended viewing.

Ahh remember the bootleg tape cassette "shops" back in '79 - usually a hole in the wall, and you'd go in and there'd be a rack of tapes on the wall and I got all my live tapes then for four each, and this recording was one of the tapes with I think the Plan K concert.
PS Penetration were a great band and I'm still in love with Pauline Murray!

there is a famous saying . 'what happens it manchester today happens in london tomorrow!!' and the areas surrounding manchester..very true of the industrial revolution, the rnb/soul-northern soul era and the early 90's indie scene and even then the clothes in london were crap!! shopping in manchester kicks arse!!

Being that he died in May 1980, saying he was the greatest frontman of that decade is a bold statement!
Such a shame he had to go though!

The NHS wouldn't have been able to help Ian, so it does no good to keep harping about it.
If you know nothing about epilepsy, you have all sorts of medicines you have to try to get the right one for your condition. It's likely he was not on the right medicine or the right dose by then, which screws with your brain biochemistry. It makes you depressed and embarrassed. And that's if you do everything right. Add an affair, drinking, drugs, poor medicine for the time...yeah. The NHS was powerless.

Im sorry for not knowing, but what is NHS
sawyerboy13 3 years ago
The NHS is the British National Health Service set up in 1948 paid for by deductions from our wage packet. It was always meant to be a free service for the UK people but has been wholly open to abuse.
Unfortunately it is abused that most of the world come here for a holiday for the purpose of getting free operations paid for by the native inhabitants (ie someone like me)
Due to the total abuse, resources run low - hence the English have to suffer usually - lack of resouces nowadays.

sweetypie000 3 years ago
I have to concur, the NHS is a pile of wank.
They've given us a mostly free healthcare so we don't have to have expensive private doctors but as a price they make the healthcare shit. xD
It's free to have a diagnosis but you have to pay for most medications? Lolwut?
I'm diabetic and my insulin costs money... I never quite understood the whole "pay to live" ethic
mythicaljake 3 years ago
yeah well, for half my life i was a yank and trust me our healthcare is NOTHING compared to the NHS. F**king CUBA has better than we do. Anyway, what does epilepsy have to do necessarily with Ian Curtis so totally much? We all have crap we deal with, and so did he obviously. I"m damn glad he dealt with it the way he did otherwise we never would've had been graced with his art. So I say shut up about his private affairs.

I heard Ian's voice was the softer one in any interview. In this one where they're asked what influences them Hooky and Barney are mentioned so it has to be Ian and Stephen speaking lol
batbreath77 3 years ago
Listening to the interview, I would say it was Ian and Stephen. Based on the fact that when they are discussing influences (2:30-3:05),as a for instance, they mention that "we" like the Doors although Hooky and Barney had never even heard of them. Just my opinion but I've heard other interviews with Ian before, and he has a much higher voice when talking in comparison to how he actually sings.
