It makes me mad that they won't make up! I keep hoping they'll get back together again--each time they've come to Chicago--I've had my head up my ass and missed their shows. Their 1989 show still burns in my memory!
He never sounds like Ian. Nobody sounds like Ian. Even so, I love the song. It's as beautiful and touching as the original version. I could listen to the tune forever. Thank you.
Does anyone else hear Ian's voice during the chorus? Is it just the harmonizing of Bernard and the backup singer? Is it a backing track of Ian's voice???
@EilidhlovesA7X Not really. The lyrics are pretty dark. Then again, it's to be expected when lyrics were written by someone in the deepest pit of despair.
AWESOME!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Can never get enough of this song, be it a cover by Radiohead, or the original by Joy Division! Love it! Gotta love fuckin Hookie!
@TheReasons2010 Ummm, what? How do you want them to dress then?
You do realize these guys are musicians, not some pretentious "rock-stars" that are completely full of themselves. Who the hell cares what they look like as long as the music is good?
@simionTheOne I think you misunderstand Barney and Hooky if you think they were shit to Ian. They were all barely adults. The fact that they originally didn't like Hannett's production shows they were still immature in mind. They were too young to comprehend what was going on with Ian. For them, they were just having fun and living their dream. I remember when I was in my early 20's, I was pretty innocent when it came to the world that surrounded me.
@simionTheOne In interviews, the living band members only state their memory of the events and what they thought then. We don't know how they really felt privately. What I like about them is that they don't sugar coat their reactions about Ian's with fake emotions like many tend to do. They don't try to sound more sympathetic. How easy would it be for them to just sound sad and remorseful? No, with New Order, it is what you see is what you get. To me, they're more real than most in the biz.
@canuck21 not only that but they came from the north which was very affected by the economic crisis suffered in the 70s, jobs were scarce, mines were closing and the situation was dire, any chance to escape such as through music with potential for success was scrambled after madly and those with them such as Gretton and Wilson were egging them on, so such things as Ian's problems were ignored or not paid the attention they should have been. Watch Control, it's very enlightening.
@Iberotimuka Yes, I saw "Control" and I also saw the documentary "Joy Division" and read "Touching From a Distance" and "The Life of Ian Curtis: Torn Apart". The movie is missing many details. I highly recommend the books.
Got to love Stephen Morris on those drums and hooky on that base. I used to think Stephen was going to take a heart attack. Just brilliant. Just look at the crowd and how much they are enjoying this.
One of my absolute favorite songs of all-time. "Pictures of You" by The Cure, "Seven Seas" by Echo and the Bunnymen, "Dancing with Myself" by Billy Idol, "P.S. Goodbye" and "One Flesh" by the Chameleons, "Bartender" by Dave Matthews Band, and this--"Ceremony"--are my favorite songs.
Kind of. Joy division never recorded it and after Ian Curtis died, New order rewrote half the lyrics because they couldnt understand them while listening to the live bootleg they had from when Ian sang it. Then they went and recorded it (twice)
WHat's in the water in MAnchester? How did that town produce SOOOO much music and talent that ROCKS the WORLD! Manchester lives in the hearts of all Rock fans for ever! THank you Division/New Oder, Echo and all the great music from Manchester!
Joy division.. is new Order, Ian wrote that song, New Order kept on signing it, what a nice tribute. Friend they where. Thanks for making my heat beat again.
1 dislike? I sincerely hope this mongul is getting treatment and the correct care that they need, I hate to think that im paying taxes and this retard is missing out on benefits and rehab that they obviously need, my heart goes out to them, imagine not having a clue about music, tell ya what folks, its scary out there! I hope they pull thro
Still kicks arse after 30 odd years.Saw Hooky perform live couple of months back.Certainly the demigods of Manchester rock but unfortunately all good things have to come to an end :(
@TheShootingNerd I can never keep track of all the stories of them breaking up but the last I heard It had something to do with Bernard and Stephen touring without Peter Hook which makes no sense. Peter Hook was quoted as saying "If I ever see them again it will be too soon".
I don't know, I think the members could have set down their instruments and walked away after Ian-but they didn't and I give them props for that. They are just as great as Joy Division-although I didn't like it when Gillian left NO. Kinda disappointed there.
@Mattfletch001 It was October 2006, they did two nights at the Carling in Glasgow. I was at the first night which was made into a DVD that came out in 2008!
