  • best band in history

  • ian curtis <3

  • @MSHYPERPANTS im so glad i own donnie darko without that movie i probably wouldnt know about this band or echo and the bunny men

  • heavy in some strong dope.

  • Looking @ him here, it is amazing how long he went before ending it. He looks like he could have gone off any moment here already. He looks like someone whose soul is beaten down and his eyes look almost dead. Such a shame someone so brilliant had to face such horrible demons in his life and lost the fight.

  • @MissNovemberTuesday

    His eyes are so sad. Completely agree with what you've said.

  • @DripsWeGotcha yeah and the drugs

  • 0:50

  • @comets14733 You just know you've lost the argument so you resort to changing the topic. I hope you don't reproduce for fear of your kids being as stupid.

  • @441Bandit hurt? Just drugs man.. :D

  • @Akume99 He never did drugs. He had epilepsy.

  • i am borned in 15/9/1993 , i played joy division in my 18 birthday party, my friends didnt understand DICK

  • @LoveoneAn 0/10

  • @iRockagainst Oh look, memespeak.

  • @LoveoneAn and you are fucking idiot

  • i'm feeling this song. Joy Division!!!

  • A superstar..............a universe better than anything in the last 30 years.. when yr voice, emotion, soul...meant something. Gave something to the song....

  • crazy how ian curtis managed to write a song about me at least a decade before i was born

  • oh joy division..i love you

  • Jdhater you idget,wots t hate?

  • i think he took something

  • Oh ffs why does everyone keep whinging on about the fact that he had epilepsy like its some kind of disease or some thing, and focus on the fact that he was a brilliant songwriter instead!!!!

  • This is one of my absolute favorites by this band. Never gets old.

  • 00:49 thats how i dance

  • Love this song. He looks so jammed tho. hah

  • I was turned on til i saw the ring

  • No one gets into the music like Ian and no he's not on drugs lmao

  • 10 people lost control n click the dislike button by accident...! x_X

  • he must be on drugs man ? surely ?,.... love it tho

  • @greenroom505 He has Epilepsy, on many performances he would actually have a seizure on stage.

  • @AquaAnim Just a myth.

  • @Easyandy100 Its not a myth he was diagnosed with it. Quit trolling.

  • @Easyandy100 Not to mention there is live footage of him having a seizure so gtfo.

  • @AquaAnim Come on, really? Well, link it to me then...

  • @baseballfuries08 this is from the documentary of the band Joy Division, called Control, maybe you should watch it as well as the many interviews were those questions were asked.

  • @AquaAnim 'Control' is not a documentary it is a film with actors. In fact,Stephen Morris said that none of it was true.

  • @AquaAnim There isn't. The footage you may be referring to is from a film and it is an actor. I was talking about the fact the he would have fits on stage; he never did, e was faking them especially in this song which is about his epilepsy and what the dancing about. You link me to live footage if you have it.

  • @Easyandy100 ure gay

  • @waytobluee woops wrong person

  • @waytobluee Yes, you are.

  • @waytobluee As gay as a fish.

  • @Easyandy100 ure gay

  • 10 Justin Bieber fans lost control and push the dislike button. 

  • @JoyDivisionHater then stop watching it, call your youtube profile something else and get into some decent music. Or just scroll up.

  • This is the biggest pile of steaming shit I've ever witnessed.

  • @JoyDivisionHater Joy "Fucking Epic" Division dont need shitty trolls like you

  • gotta love Curtis' moves

  • I hope this tv director still feels like an asshole for continually leaving Curtis' crazed dancing to show shots of the instrumentalists standing there playing their instruments.

  • hes off his face lol

  • very Manc, very cool.

  • this is rock music

  • @Metaloksit and i like it

  • @Metaloksit very deep rhymes and lyrics

  • Whenever I hear a song at party with a sexy ass bass line I try and dance like Ian. I'll never be that good, I just get weird looks instead ahah.

  • Ian Curtis the poet of the post punk guy this guy wasted a lifetime of great successes yet in 3 years and left an incredible legacy to this day makes fans even here in Brazil thanks Ian, Bernard, Peter, Stephen because there

  • .. so sad , that he committed suicide,f instead of losing "himself" in music ..

  • .. so sad , that heD hung himself instead of losing "himself" in music ..

  • I hate that hipsters like these guys and then put them in lame ass shops like urban outfitters! Thought hipsters hated punk?

  • @arebecause0 who the fuck hates punk :(

  • who wrote the music for joy division?

  • @FuckinMongo Ian Curtis!

  • Raw. Bleak. Chaotic. Utterly brilliant.

  • The drumming focus is nuts switching between sequences. Joy division is the epitome of post-punk. The very definition of an intermediate sound captured only through a human's suicide.

  • @emptyaddy wow, that's deep

  • 03:02 The look of pain/determination on Ian's face. "I gonna dance like a lunatic if it's the last thing i do".

  • Just listen to the music well and you'll realize why we love this band! (:

  • Not to be trolling or anything but I really don't understand how you guys can enjoy this song. I mean I know I'm gonna get trash and all but I just don't get it. I guess there is no accounting for taste.

  • @Aaarf Cool lyrics. Cool drum fills. Ian's unique performance. I think you either really dig post punk, or you don't.

  • @Aaarf It's raw sound and minimalism draw a lot of people. People like me.

  • class ace

  • PURO ROCK.

  • my fav band of all time. got Ian's face tattooed on my leg. my ultimate hero

  • I am was blessed see the band live - Rainbow and Wycombe Town Hall. Never got to hit on him though I was way too young and had to be in by midnight. Couldn't get enough of this totally awesome band and the gorgeous man (HRH Curtis) God rest his soul.

  • nice performance, too bad the mix is terrible

  • so clearly an unhappy man.

  • love the dance moves!

  • ian lives on in me.

  • Comment removed

  • To an extent they were "indie" they were signed to an independent label.

  • Comment removed

  • @TheBrothersOfSirens You're pretty stupid if you thought Ian Curtis was on drugs. He was actually supposed to take some sorta drugs to calm his epilepsy but wouldn't.

  • @EvilAnticsLive

    impretty sure he did take hsi meds, but they werent as helpful back in those days.

  • Comment removed

  • @TheBrothersOfSirens

    then whats the point of saying that RANDOM statement on this page then?

  • @EvilAnticsLive Chill out, I know my history on this band. But your right he wasn't on drugs. 

  • @TheBrothersOfSirens he was on meds for his seizures which in those days were way to strong, so he was always fucked up on that shit.

  • @TheBrothersOfSirens

    he was never on drugs. never.. he wasnt your typical "rockstar" he was far more important and sincere

  • Definitely something else...

  • Ο ΜΑΥΡΟΣ ΠΟΙΗΤΗΣ Ο ΜΠΩΝΤΛΑΙΡ ΤΟΥ ΠΑΝΚ

  • REAL MUSIC!!!! not thr shit getting throwen out today,R.I.P ian,fucking legend.

  • Joy Division is to obscure for the trolls to find.

  • @M3GreatRiffs lol correct :)

  • @M3GreatRiffs

    too* just sayin

  • @M3GreatRiffs

    Comments like that work like a mutatinator.

    Welcome your 4th dislike, trolololololololololCUNT!

  • 1:29 Take it easy IAN!

  • fucking brilliant!

  • fuck can anyone mention Ian Curtis?

  • 1 person lost control to much and by accident hit the dislike button, what a tit

  • this is art...

  • this is post punk

  • Ian curtis is buried within a mile of where I live.

  • Sam doesn't look like IC, but you know who does?

    A young Aidan Quinn...

  • I find this hard to watch. You never know if he's really having a seizure or not.

  • This is not rock, indie, alternative, metal, punk, nothing. This is Joy Division.

  • S.Morris one of the best post 70's drummers of all time.

  • @ShaneRaw1 so so true

  • I fully knew what I was witnessing when I saw them at the Warehouse in 1979.

  • So fresh so real; hard to imagine this is 1979 and the band will be over in a year.

  • Still stands up. I was one of the first in my town to buy "Unknown Pleasures" and remember being laughed at by mates who just didn't "get it". After this performance on Something Else (short lived on BBC2) they all climbed on the bandwagon. One word.........CHARISMA. This, along with "Digital" and "Shadowplay", is one of my remaining favourites. I was proud to be an Englishman then and I am proud to be one now. I'm 50 next year, but this music, as part of my history, says I am still 17.

  • This is not rock, punk, rock´n´roll, metal, indie, alternative or anything. THIS IS JOY DIVISON!!!

  • We shall never see his like again.RIP IC.

  • After i saw this video i think i might say that i lost control again

  • Makes a certain Cobain look like an X Factor / American Idol wannabe. This guys the real deal.

  • One cool motherfucker.

  • Not my favorite JD song. Love Will Tear Us Apart is the best.

  • Comment removed

  • This song gives me goosebumbs everytime I hear it. Great piece of music, great choice of words for such a terrible disease.

  • joy division's musical structure is so simple but so beautiful

  • some shapes been throwin

  • loving those moves :D

  • Just like my girlfriend, she's lost control again.

  • man his moves are so great!

  • accent-based pre-goth or ethno-goth post-punk

    i would also say nirvana qualifies as ethno-goth metal/soft rock

  • @dljc1979 lol

  • @shanepealow44 | no really.

  • Comment removed

  • Christ he was so handsome. Fucking love his energy.

  • Maestro maestro punk puro ... Joy divison junto con los sex pistols los mejores del punk .

  • @1985moyita no es punkrock, es new wave.!!

  • Zero don´t like: i like

  • wow sam riley is like his double

  • Ian Curtis looks like a man possessed. Like some kind of Shaman. Riveting performance.

  • this is not indie

  • @rev1080 Thank you, Captain Obvious!

  • @rev1080 we know

  • @rev1080 indie music has changed from what it was in the 70s and 80s , back then this was regarded as indie music ......the times have changed since ...

  • @rev1080 Of course it isn't

    Unlike the indie, this is real, unique and pure, raw music

    that's just what it is

  • @rev1080 who said it was?

  • Comment removed

  • People do get very angry dont they?I made a mistake i said im sorry if i offended anyone but goodengine if you feel you have to try to belittle me thats fine i will forgive you,maybe you should concentrate on working on your immaturity.

  • @jeancocteau Forgiveness is overrated, due to Christianity, and is most of the times a disguised hypocrisy.

    Stupidity cannot be easily be forgiven. And of course I'm not referring to you, just making a general observation.

  • @ntipouan Christianity is not the origin of forgiveness, I assure you.

  • Sam Riley was absolutely brilliant in his role as Ian Curtis. Spot-on looks, too.....difficult to tell the 2 apart.

  • @docrichie9 i honestly felt they didn't look alike all that much, i enjoyed his acting especially when on stage, but I think the bloke from misfits, the reserved silent invisible one really looked like ian

  • @docrichie9

    who the f... cares about that...probably there is so many people in the world who looks like ian...and what???

    WHAT NOW?????

    you dumbass...go and play puzzles...

  • @markodman the fuck is wrong with you? He just said what he thought

  • Comment removed

  • @Torro321

    I just hate comments like that on HYSTORIC VIDEO's like this one!!

    We are wathing and hearing here Joy Division..and he comment stupid movie and actor..wtf

  • @markodman Sam made all the singing in the movie, it's not just the looks. Just saying...

  • you guys are right i was wrong,i apologise,what i sorta meant he was taking a lot of medication for his epilepsy and depression

  • what drugs mister cocteau

  • ummm actually he was out of his head on drugs

  • @jeancocteau knob,get your facts straight before you post up and dont back track after being shot down you just look like a bigger KNOB
