anyone who speaks negatively on this page is just projecting their own failures, IAN was the best of all time he suffered epileptic seizures while on stage he suffered alot for his mistakes and we love him for that R.I.P. IAN
My 2 favourit bands are Black Sabbath and Joy Division. And honestly this live vid sounds very much like Black Sabbath in their early gigs. Fucking awesome
i can't fucking deal with this. any song sung by ian, and played by the band fucking rips my soul out to be exposed to this heart wrenching music. it's brilliant. i don't know how to express myself more than i can
@iguisard Listen to Movement if you haven't already. It is my favorite New Order album and maintained something close to their Joy Division sound. I detest them steering away from this directions as well.
The rest, that is supposed to come is missing !...you're a tease...you're a ball bag ! How can you do this to us! Perfect performance though, shall not be forgotten, as little as i say !
Just like Cobain too you could feel how passionate they were, and serious.. you know, when you consider suicide in your musical prime/fame, things in your head arent working well and when they perform, I just feel like he feels the need ''To let it all out''. Personally, I love and fit really well charismatic singers; such as Ian Curtis, Shannon Hoon, Kurt Cobain, Courtney Love, EARLY-MID Billy Corgan...many more.. they were such passionate singers/band I miss the 90's so bad
@FrxBass well well, i mean let's not overgloryfy i think. The music this band made has for me the upper hand on the emotional side, although this varyies for thesongs, this one for example ian really did some great songwriting and a great performance. But i mean loads of people are fucked up in the head and concider suicide everyday, they are often artists but also all other kinds of geniouses. i just think taking them as an idol is overpowering
@YesterdaysBlur Haha seriously? Wow, Ian Curtis was a visionary but you're actually getting a permanent tattoo of his face on your arm? Why do people thumbs this up?
@Neighborhoodbordness yeah, in particular one winter when i was in university and i had a really bad time as winter came on...listened to JD non stop as i drove around getting ready to commit suicide...thankfully i didn't succeed!
@DougglesMagnificent I also hate winter as I feel depression creep in during those times. Thats good that you did not succeed as life is too precious to give up. I guess Ian didn't understand that.....
This is the Paridiso Club Amsterdam in early '79 where I and several people saw HIM disappear on stage that night. And the voice rang out. Never got over this performance
para todos los fanaticos de esta gran banda no permitire que este album se termine con 2 canciones... el 2 de enero colgare mi primer single no me fallen acabemos con la basura comercial trivial por M M pasen la voz
everybody waiting the album complete for just 2 song wonderfull
my band is same style because i am influence about this but
need speech if you liked this band then i am sure that you will my band 2 january my first song on youtube i called trivial by M M
i remember my old band covered this song. and every time that epic guitar part kicked at the start i couldnt help but smile cause it was so awsome. no other song has done that to me so much
i really dont like live albums but if u want to hear joy division the way they were meant to b heard u gotta listen to their live stuff. this vid gives me chills most underrated band in history.
@boomhauwer2 This gig is on several bootlegs, check the Joy Division Central site page for the gig - joydiv (dot) org (forward slash) c180180 (dot) htm
I agree. I believe he really took away most from Unknown Pleasures. It would be like him producing a Dead Kennedys record (no pun meant) and removing all of the physical roar in favor of atmosphere (again no pun meant). Though he did master the shit out of Closer. Props to that.
one time joy d played in belgium borroughs was there played some films in another part of the arts building, concerts paitings and cinema all going on same time, ian got there and asked for a book thinking now im famous maybe he will give me one for free, he loved william borroughs books, borroughs replied: fuck off kid... ian left all red while the others laughed, seems like bourroughs didnt knew joy division...
im a lil disappointed in all the live versions of this song,the "it was me.." refrain at the end he performs lower than the album version..otherwise perfection
no doubt one of the best rock songs ever recorded, If I ever met someone that didnt like JD or had ever heard of them...this is the song I would make them listen to, if they didnt like it, they have no business listening to music.
