  • what is he saying with these lyrics?

  • tapping my feet .. twiddling my fingers.. lol

    bobbing head... ( i like this )

  • you may want to ignore it but when judging anything, sports players, politicians, and yes bands the impact on others is part of it, and who had a bigger impact on music? Who admires GnR or wants to sound or be like them...Then ask the same question for nirvana. I love both jd and pixies as mentioned, but saying nirvana was a minor act in comparison to them, just an idiotic statement. I mean you can't honestly believe that.

  • @neonbible08 Chances are because it's quite too easier to try to be like Nirvana than Gn'R. You just need to learn some chords, purchase a distortion gear, and well of course you need some creativity but let's not exageratte it's not the big deal. On the other hand, I don't see too many newcomers trying to be like King Crimson, maybe because its music it's terribly difficult to even try to play it. According to your POV, Nirvana has more impact than KC, huhuhu!

  • @MechaGojira00 haha you are contradicting yourself, all I need is a guitar and to learn a few cords, but you gloss over the creativity thing-(not that big a deal lol) Pointless arguing over music, people have different opinions, I love Jd, interpol, pixies all alot, among my favorites, but they're not nirvana. Although you may believe the nirvana's music was simple, it resonated, and I don't know how one would listen to nevermind and then in utero and label them boring or a minor act.

  • @neonbible08 The problem in here is you not being able to read accurately. When I said that creativity wasn't the "big deal" I was talking about Nirvana. I said it once and I repeat it, both Gn'R and Nirvana had a shitty attitude -even worse was that of Pearl Jam-, but at least Gn'R could record a bunch of songs quite interesting compared to those Nirvana did. You need to start listening to some real music, ok maybe not Gn'R, but neither Nirvana, the most overrated band in history

  • I don't have to defend Nirvana..in conversations of the best 10 to 20 bands of all time nirvana is in the conversation, GnR is not...Slash being good at guitar, well thats another conversation

  • @neonbible08 No, in any all-time best bands Top 20, neither Gn'R nor Nirvana would appear, but as for JD it'd be quite likely.

  • Last song Ian Curtis sang live :(

  • nirvana was a bad attempt at copying pixies.

  • @vfebm Nirvana recorded a couple of good albums and like a dozen of really good songs, but it was just a minor act compared to JD or Pixies. And of course if I've got to chose between Nirvana and Gn'R, I quite much prefer the latter. Both bands had a shitty attitude, but Gn'R were musically more advanced than the basic and sometimes blunt and boring Nirvana.

  • @MechaGojira00 haha "pauses" haha GnR were musically more advanced, love it.  What an idiot.

  • @neonbible08 Oh, this idiot doesn't know what advanced means, does it? So if I say that Swans are more advanced than JD or Led Zeppelin than Gn'R, he won't grab a word either. The "impact Nirvana has"? Hahaha! Yeah, sonny every new band is trying to sound like Nirvana... But if for you "impact" is the same as fame, then we're all fucked up and Lady Gaga has more impact than anyone. What a moron, go back watch your soap operas, you won't hear words quite advanced like advanced there

  • @MechaGojira00 Last time I checked GnR weren't some indie band. Outside of slash being good at guitar, GnR suck, their songs sound so dated, welcome to the jungle is a novelty song now. Some people ie YOU ..technical proficiency is most important, when in fact its almost the least important thing..i bet you love chickenfoot, that joe santrini * can really play the guitar, wonderful. GnR musically more advanced?? yea a shitty 80s hair metal band, they were ace.

  • @MechaGojira00 If you hate "basic" songs so much, why are you listening to Joy Division? Most JD songs have one incredibly basic bassline that doesn't change from chorus to verse. This one for example, has 3 notes (counting octaves as one note), and a couple of fills. Same goes for Isolation, Disorder, and Shadowplay. The reason for this is that basic music, e.g. JD, Nirvana, is good and advanced music, e.g. Gn'R, is horrendous.

  • @chilipeppers91 That quite depends on what you mean by "basic". I love a lot of bands having less technical resources than JD, Bauhaus, and the like. What I really dislike is the mediocre attitude in bands like Nirvana, and Gn'R as well, I stated it from the very beginning. But then one moron started crying about the "impact" of Nirvana being the most important shit in the world. And man, you can't put JD and Nirvana in the same lot, JD was really something

  • i'm listening to this song before my football game

  • strangely it calms.

  • love the oven gloves

    

  • i love both joy division and nirvana. whats the big deal, two totally different sounds, but all it was genius...fuckin douchers

  • too ---------- many ---------- ads !

  • @IAINoodle true, they're getting on my nerves as well...

  • ptmr que rico rock csmre!!! post punk saludos de lima peru , donde el rokanrol tambien suena!! los saicos!!!!!

  • dorothycvbbmnmzzxvbnmasdfghjkl­qwertyuiop

  • id rather be in than out

  • top tune

  • 31 people could't get it in or out

  • The fact that Ian Curtis killed himself is really neither here nor there. He could just as easily *not* have succumbed to his torment and instead went off to be a plumber somewhere, or bricklayer, or whatever. The music and expression of the albums that Joy Division made in this time would be the same.  So let's get away from the Ian Curtis cult of morbidity. Please.

  • @cbmccarthy

    ...on the other hand he could have succumbed to his torment if he was a bricklayer or plumber. It's not somehow unique to artists.

  • Coincidently fell in love during a time that I replayed this song about 20-30 times

  • for some reason i feel as if Beyonce's single ladies dance routine would time perfectly with this song...

  • When I first heard this song I thought that bass riff was the corniest shit I ever listened to but I kept on listening to it anyway. Whenever I describe how I started listening to JD it feels like I'm talking about how I met a fucking wife or girlfriend.

  • Can anyone watch a Joy Division song without trying to find a really deep hidden message? Every video I see its people trying to over analyse it.

  • For the bleak nihilistic video to go with this top tune, search youtube for "Joy Division - La Yenka"

  • Pete Doherty looks a lot like Ian Curtis in some of these pictures..

  • Bernard kills it on the guitar...

  • WTF the thumbnail picture with JD members as crows is funnny as hell

  • But. It does bring out the self destructive side of me.

  • FAVOURITE. SONG. EVER.

  • Am i the only one who finds it a bit ironic, yet cruel Ian's last line ever as a member of Joy Division was "Don't ever fade away" and look what he did to himself....

  • @Darkzmanz Well, he definitely didn't fade away, at least.

  • first song recorded as 'Joy Division' and last song they performed live :(

    

  • Good clean fun.

  • peppy for joy division

  • Cool....music

  • i love this music !!

  • i dont understand why in all the videos of joy division shows the guy from the movie.. i saw the movie is greate but why dont shows the real ian curtis?

    sorry for bad english i dont undersand a shit of inglish hehe

  • the last song ian curtis performed...spooky

  • Golliwogg APPROVES of this song.

  • one thing is for sure Ian, you never faded away

  • u can feel the paranoia, awesome. day in day out

  • ian owns

    

  • I would suck the fart from Ian's car seat.

  • ahhhhh class

    glad i no longer have to enjoy the best band ever in solitude thanks to this Youtube community

  • This is supposedly the last Ian Curtis ever sang alive. R.I.P. Ian.

  • Now this is one important band! fuck the media Beatles, Stones my ass!

  • @morrisjuan When did music become a competition? Music is art. When you go to a museum do you only look at Picasso? no, you have a whole variety of artists. There are only horrible bands, okay bands, good bands, great bands and legendary bands. There is no "best"

  • fuck yea!

  • some nice images on video, thanks

  • Kurt Cobain couldn't hold Ian's jock strap. There is no comparison between Nirvana and Joy Division.

  • @hotrodder725 Kurt Cobain was a genius & the voice of a genration, some called him the 90's John Lennon! but you may still have a point! just shows how good Ian was!!

  • @hotrodder725 I guess it's safe to say New Order is also better than the Foo Fighters since they were both the remains of of each band.

  • @hotrodder725 Kurt Cobain was inspired by Joy Division.

  • @LetThemThangsGo and joy division by janis joplin

  • @Luzitanpride and the Doors, David Bowie, the pistols and so on.....

  • @LetThemThangsGo right!!!!

  • @LetThemThangsGo

    no he was not.

  • @LetThemThangsGo también Luca Prodan se insipiro en esta banda

  • @hotrodder725 are you a fucking idiot. Yes joy division are good , but none of their songs match up to the immense passion , melody , and soul that drives each and every one of nirvanas songs , sure 'shes lost control' is a great tune , but it will never match up to anything of 'Nevermind'

  • @CyphaDubz WOW! "a fucking idiot"? Because I share an opinion that differs then yours? Makes you wonder who the real idiot is here.

  • @hotrodder725 yes because you were stating your opinion as if it were fact!

  • @CyphaDubz It is a fact. Nirvana sucks, Cobain was a talentless moron.

  • @AgeOfOddz Nah they got some good songs, The man who sold the world acoustic is really good and I dont even like Norvana really but to sau they are talentless makes you sound ignorant.

  • @dethh100 The Man Who Sold the World is not their song, its David Bowie´s and their rendition was so extremely basic and simple that anyone could have done it. I am not ignorant and Nirvana certainly are talentless.

  • @AgeOfOddz *were*

  • @AgeOfOddz did kurt cobain steal your lunch money or something, why so angry. Maybe your just trying to be different, but they certainly aren't talentless. Joy Division are wonderful and i love them, but they didn't and still don't have the impact Nirvana does..and there is a reason for that.

  • @neonbible08 The "impact"? If by "impact" you mean number of bands who are influenced by you and choose to follow in your footsteps then you are extremely wrong. Just ask bands like The National, Interpol, The Editors and The Killers and hundreds of others where they got their sound from. Joy Division is one of the most influential band of all time, what about Nirvana and grunge? They died the moment Kurt took his own life.

  • @hotrodder725 Don't really know why this comment has so many thumbs up. You're right there is no comparrison, they are 10 years apart, from different continents and part of different genres and movments and with very different approaches to music.

  • My favourite Joy Division tune, love it, makes me wanna jump about like a idiot!

  • @SnifferBigEars

    i second that, but a Carlton dance from fresh prince of bell air

  • smells like burnt wheel or something.

  • no Ian yut not suppose to eat the microphone damnit not again

  • sums up my 9 to 5 life accurately

  • the dance and performance of Ian Curtis must be a legend

  • Holy mother of f*!# I love Joy Division

  • Cooler than Kurt Cobain and more tragic

    

  • That bass. <3

  • i feel it closing in

    DAY IN!!DAY OUT!!

  • @byrontheshizzz my friend named is band after that line:)

  • 2:33 i want those shoes! i don't care how much!

  • whenever i feel doomed i just listen to this song on repeat for a half hour and i feel better

  • @keyzcity It's too bad it didn't have the same effect on Ian Curtis. =[

  • @keyzcity Except shortly after recorded Ian killed himself... Then you snap back to reality.

  • @keyzcity How? xD

  • @keyzcity same

  • supposedly the last song he sang live - LOVE IT!!!!!!!!!!

  • Oh god, by far my fav song... so perfect for now.

  • This bass line forever will remind me of the soundtracks from "Crash bandicoot: Cortex strikes back". Think about it, people.

  • joy division is the catalyst of all modern music

  • 'the introductions not usually this long it's just the lead singer's gone for a piss'

  • @halflifeepisode34980 the intro was only 30 seconds thats not that long in post punk dark music genre standards

  • THEEE INNNNN THEEE OUTTTT THEEE INNNNN THEEE OUTTTT THEEE INNNNN THEEE OUTTTT THEEE INNNNN THEEE OUTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTT

  • @dynamat is "day in, day out"

  • This is the song I liked least from this band, because it was the only song that really made me feel bad. I still don't like it, but they were a great band.

  • @AngeloNiklis I think all joy division songs are meant to make you feel bad. The singer was extremely depressed.

  • @countingdown27

    This is the only song that actually makes me straight out depressed.

  • i want those sneakers!

  • ohhh ian i wish you didnt fade away :/

  • couldnt love joy division more, ever, at any point.

  • GREATEST BAND IN LIVING MEMORY.....

  • Woke up with this song on my mind, I was dancing to the bathroom for my morning pee pee.

  • the original goth band

  • Warsaw :)

  • jeA

  • R.I.P. Ian

  • DONT EVER FADE AWAY!!!!

  • NKFDLA;NFAK;FDNAKFAFNDA;

    joy division!

  • I'm so happy that people around me aren't that much familiar with joy divison, all their music is only for me:) I love joy divison, they are in my top 3 bands of all time, the purest lyrics and melodys, no doubt about that:)

  • FUCKING BRILLIANT.

  • I truly love you Ian. ANd of course, stephen, peter, bernard.

  • It's so strange I haven't thought about Joy Division in a long while and I've had this song stuck in my head all day without knowing what day it is until now.

    

  • Brilliant , Joy division songs are great and Ian Crtis'voice unique. They will forever be remembered for the good stuff as they brought a different influence to the music that followed but could not equal their sound.Rest in peace Ian, god bless, you made a difference to this world and your name will stay forever in the History of music.

  • rip ian

  • One of the best songs EVER !!!!

  • Metalheads have Iron Maiden, stupid teenage girls have Justin Bieber, punkrockers have Sex Pistols and PEOPLE have Joy DIvision!

    thanks god, that you sent JOY to us

  • the first time i heard this song the beginning sounded like farts. i love joy division so much.

  • I get high from this music...

    So good

  • Real fucking bands wear ties and dress shoes.

  • this is for all the retards who say ian couldnt sing

  • joy division another and new meaning of life ...  . ...

  • Amazing

    

  • Some metalhead on Facebook told me to "go listen to Joy Division and cry" earlier.

    I'd just like to say that I'm listening to Joy Division right now. And crying.

  • @Szaam why are you crying?

  • @Lyenna1993 Sarcasm.

  • the rift at the beginning just tears apart everything. well i guess the whole song does

  • I'm new to them, even though I've been a 60's and 70's movement enthusiast for awhile, but now that I know definatly appreciative. : ) Love their music, love their history, they're the type of band that makes me hate myself for being concieved in this generation; Rock N Roll will live on.

  • Holy mother of f**k I love Joy Division!!!ahaahah..brilliant!

  • @xheyitsowenjx maybe that's one of the reasons he killed himself. Maybe he didn't want it to get huge and distorted or sellout as popular music so often does. "I hate fuckin' David Bowie. All he'd ever do was sing about how you should die when you're 25. Know how old he is? He's fuckin' 30-29, something. He's a liar." Anyway, irregardless, awesome song.

  • @TrEvADiZasTA hehe you watched 24 hour party people didnt ya?

  • @0mgwtfbbq21 haha, I did indeed.

  • I'm 15.I love Joy Division. And It really sickens me to see overproduced shit in the charts when good music like this doesn't get a chance. RIP Ian Curtis. 

  • @ThePandoricasWitness I know what you mean! Joy Division have been my favourite band for about 3 years and I'm 17, how can anyone prefer Justin Beiber, i have no idea x

  • @ChanterLaChanson how could you say his name while joy division is around X) we shall refer to him by he who must not be named:P

  • @steave707 Agreed

  • DAY IN DAY OUT!

  • great song..from one of the best bands ever.....2 albums and legendary status says it all....RIP Ian
