[boomerangsix]

This is gothic music as Sounds and many other famous jounalists wrote.

Sounds magazine, Joy Division, Leeds live review, 26/10/79, excerpt :

The 'gothic dance music' he orchestrates is well-understood by those who recognise their New Wave frontiersmen and know how to dance the Joy Division! A theatrical sense of timing, controlled improvisation...

[The7billionth]

Awwwwwwwww !!! (I like....)

[oblistr]

We lost a great one when Ian died. I miss you man!

[JcRRMusic]

The *Awed Ians just sit there.

* The 'Awed Ians' (audience) were named for their transfixiation, and trance-like state, caused by sitting so close to the fire.

[chappahouse]

[simolui]

i didnt know Paolo Maldini could sing....

[EitherEndofAugust]

@simolui Who?

[717jonpaul]

This was great!

[lunaboomboom]

I've always felt that Def Leppard, who formed a year after Joy Division, were much more original and frankly, a much better band.

[dethh100]

@lunaboomboom thats your opinion

[stugodamndata]

@lunaboomboom i think a lot of people would agree with you on that. I still love joy division more though ^-^

[CreeepitReal]

Hahahhahahahahaha...

[anitrax17]

[peoplenevernotice]

@anitrax17 lolwut.

[ThePhilster28]

now that Ian could really move.

[CCtjehh]

this was 19 years before I was born.

[DJALSKI1]

the best bassist ever

[kurtmanerz]

What an amazing band...it is so hard to create a sound that is truly original and unique, and these guys did it...

[bigd934]

never seen anyone that dances as well as him

[katerinahra]

Ian Curtis tried to dance- dance is Ian Curtis!..

[sabalouie2000]

[seerymseery]

[robbos44]

david smeaton ...rip...woodhouse mill sheffield still think about you 35yrs on ...fluffy.

[LadyNarkotix]

bravo!

[Dartorji]

mon deuxième groupe préféré .

[76Littlebudha]

how can someone doesn´t like this???? fuck them...get some musical culture.

[420prettystoned]

The first time I saw Ian I thought he was the most handsome man in the world..He still is and I love his signatures moves...When I found out he killed himself it broke my heart...I was 1 y.o. when this video came up...He's an afrodesiac in my opinion.

[7ot7eN]

this is so incredibly cool

[12inchvertical]

dance those blues away Ian...

[dalgroves10]

Does anyone think that Ian's dancing could have inspired Bez of the happy monday's dancing? Partly?

[dalgroves10]

Wow wow wow wow Ian Curtis and JD f**king rocked. Excuse me, for most of my 31 years on this earth I have not entertained much outside of Pink Floyd, but in the last few months I have delved deeper in JD with books, films and cd's and my god do I like it. QUALITY!

[13125MANUNITED]

ian is the best dancer in the whole music industry

[The096757]

that's a shame he commited suicide. all the good ones are the most hard and critical on themselves.

[angelofHim90]

He was handsome (Ian Curtis) and talented. Being epileptic makes him that more cooler. Not that I wish suffering for anyone, just sayin.

[soytucompa]

That day in Mexico, we were celebrating our independence...

[Horwatti]

Click "9" to see the best dance! 

[FranciscaMoi]

Ian Curtis was extremely talented and beautiful. RIP

[fphernandez87]

@exiledstars there is always reason to continue living. Ian choose not to find it and or not see it. I've been a victim of suicide twice over (not that I'm bragging) and in my own opinion there is no validity to the act of it. Coincidently my sister suffers from seizures fortunately there are ways for her to function as close to normal as possible. My point being she is optimistic as hell and enjoys life to the fullest. I don't know Mr. Curtis personally but he did what he did on choice. Not du

[TheHiddenAnswer]

True poets are depressed because they realize the truth and what makes it even more depressen is their surrounded by loads of empty vessel humans which will never understand what they see. that kinda explains why loners are loners..alot of people just see things different ya know

[JoyDivisiongirl]

@TheHiddenAnswer are loners really losers? i beg to differ.

[poopyscoopy5]

@JoyDivisiongirl

They are just losing their place. They used to be very important in art, philosophy, critical thinking, future planning etc.. but the way the world has turned out is pushing them outside. To much glorification of meathead jocks. The powerful people don't want anyone around who can think and inspire.

[jlowrie33]

I have a feeling Ian Curtis is a big influence on Thom Yorke.

[MrKarpote]

@jlowrie33 sorry, but thom yorke is a pain in the arse.

[o0xst]

Thirty plus years later, still no one cares about epileptics. Its called "the orphaned disease" for good reason. All that matters to anyone is breast cancer awareness. Boobs win over brains, a story as old as history.

[ExiledStars]

It wasn't just depression - it was an uncontrolled seizure disorder that killed Ian Curtis. Back then they didn't have many medication options for controlling seizures. It's not just the seizures themselves either; it takes so long to recover completely from each one. If one has them every day, there is no time to recover. So no quality of life = therefore no reason to continue living.

[royalsfan7]

@ExiledStars Also the fact that the medications he was put on had very depressive side effects which added to his situation. He definitely was not in his right mind during his final days. RIP Ian Curtis.

[Lou64ify]

Can't you just feel the stupid fecking vision mixer in the studio freaking - "Quick, cut to the guitarist!" as Ian goes into his most visually mesmerising performance and what made him so unique.

[edrepard]

holy shit

[395235]

Oh man =/ Poor Ian. He looked like he was barely hanging onto life by a string here. It's almost like you could sense all the pain in his eyes alone and his exhaustion with life. He looks severely depressed in this video my god. It's so sad he wasn't able to get better with it before he took his own life. May you rest in peace forever Ian. Your legend will live on forever.

[1013637]

@395235 I see myself in that face, and hear myself in his voice, and know myself in his words.

[395235]

@1013637 If you think you might be depressed man get help! It's well worth it. Depression drains you and makes life a drag. Take care man.

[claire30061]

@395235 yes I know this feeling exactly!!! but somehow I am still here!!!!

[anakarla]

[AwesomeCoasters]

@poguish

[daydream1000]

@poguish Damn you! Now there's five. That's why people should never advertise the number of dislikes on a video. The trolls will come out and spite us all.

[MegaDarkChris]
