Joy Division - Digital (Performance From "Control")

[obunkystaind]

This beat is bananas.

[bddb9]

after listening to joy division its hard to listen to anything else :/

[BANDOGZ30]

greaaaat song....greaaat band!....great...band and songs!....great!..., cheers, Bandogz.

[TripleBuggerOff]

Is there an extended version of this like there is for some of the other Control performances?

[furakkueroru]

This is excellent but rather soft om computer!

[TheWheels777]

absolutely brilliant

[AntiMusick]

I hope you people know that is not Ian nor his voice in this footage. Watch "Here are the Young Men" video of the real live footage of Ian preforming the song Digital.

[KingOfCarrotflowers]

Ian Curtis died four years prior to my birth; how in God's name can one justify calling a posthumous fanbase 'poseurs?' Ian's legacy is immortal. While some might not fully grasp the extent of his creativity, it's difficult to justify such claims.

[nickvanhornfilms]

r.i.p ian

[deathbypowerglove]

I did the Ian dance at a school dance senior year 4 years ago.

Nobody got it.

But i wish he were still here doing it.

[zzbozz]

wombatts fuck off

[anniemihn]

Sam Riley deserves the Golden globe, the oscars, the BAFTAs, EVERYTHING for this performance. He will KILL as Kerouac in On the Road!

[StChiara]

fuckin stupid , 24 Hour Party People's portrayal of this scene beats the shit out of this whole film any day of the fucking week.

[0mgwtfbbq21]

@StChiara cuz it was mimed i honeslty prefer this one cuz the actors actually made an effort to sound like JD not just mime them

[robertokeano]

@StChiara you mean when they mime the song? 

[steverabbits]

What a film!! What a fucking awesome acting performance!!!! Moved me to tears man

[mickeybaumann]

good job !

[metalxxxhead01]

i love this song and band also this movie is amazing but the ending is definately depressing

[Emmoth666]

@RyogaXvX, I didn't know that Joy Division's music was limited for certain people. :]

[RyogaXvX]

Im glad all the posers have finally recognised Joy Division. 10 years ago you couldnt find any of thier videos.

[StrokedGT]

it doesnt mean anyones a poseur, 10 years ago there wasnt even a youtube. Now that its here, people "with" the videos have uploaded them and guys like you are here commenting on them

[fookziz]

I wasn't even alive in Joy Divisions prime, still like the band. The posers are arse wipes like you who think they own a right. Piss off you prick.

[StrokedGT]

yeah but 10 years ago the internet didnt have anything close to youtube where people can leave comments. How do you know we werent watching them before on VHS? . If anything, your the poseur, the guy who thinks he's the only one whos really into joy division since day 1 and everyone else is below him, hahaha. 15 years ago I was ordering JD tapes through BMG, sorry I didnt let you know so I could get my official Joy Division card

[sidDkid87]

@StrokedGT - - - LOL - - - Great post, StrokedGT. Did you ever get your "official" Joy Division card? You deserve one just for this post alone!

[somcop13]

@RyogaXvX your a faggot

[fontTas]

haha well your arn't you a lovely cunt.

[PullingTeeth1]

So you´re calling us posers cause we couldnt find out about them? That makes sense. I always thought you were a true fan if you sincerly liked the music, no, you have to find out about them in some retro, unorthodox way.

Oh well as long as i get to listen to the music i dont care if im being called a poser or not.

[texaschilibowl19]

haha i love tony wilson in the crowd..

[ADESIREEZ]

JOY DIVISION FUCKING ALELUYA!

[industrialnyleon]

still alive

[Toofairy]

sam did such a great job acting in this movie

[famAAAs]

JOY DIVISION YOU CUNT

[escons]

It's not better make a playback? from the original voice of Ian Curtis?

[grimkreaper]

i can defo imagine tony wilson in the middle of a boiling hot mosh pit wearin his frilly scarf and bouncing round like that ,,,,

legendary status was reached along time ago

[ADESIREEZ]

are you crazy??? you dont have any idea what you saying!!!!!!

[jrbrooks200]

woah woah woah easy, everyones entitled to an opinion i mean yes this documents ian curtis and joy division more because it's souly about them but 24 hour party people was about all the start of revoloutionary music in manchester starting off with post punk/new wave bands like joy division, the buzzcocks, the jam, the stooges etc then on to madchester music with happy mondays and new order, but as far as my opinion goes on a subject that has nothing to do with the point i was saying...

[jrbrooks200]

24 hour party people is better than this film: funny and entertaining, this films top notch but i like 24 hour party people better, can't deny that it's a shithot film?

[totospirits]

i feel it closing in too brother....

[grapjee]

(L) (L) (L)

[zoeoz]

Nothing like the original, nothing.

[jrbrooks200]

i reckon he did a good job of it though to be fair, not all of them can sound just like them but that was o.k, tell you what though and here's a point for control over 24 hour party people at least sam riley who was playing Ian Curtis in this sung the songs instead of lip synching them like Sean Harris did when he played ian in 24 hour party people.

[malleymyster]

the version from 24 hour party people was better.

[vaughanography]

What, the mimed version?

[malleymyster]

no-the better version

[vaughanography]

And which version is that?

[sieke87]

the only one

[Polskapan]

Haha

[dbmcfc]

@malleymyster the better version are you a fucking moron

[guitar19904]

@dbmcfc

nah youre a fucking moron, learn that other people have opinions. sean harris did a great job in 24

sam was pretty awsome too

[dbmcfc]

@guitar19904 Haha what are you talking about, Im saying the actual song (which would be played if it was mimed) is undoubtedly better than this

[guitar19904]

@dbmcfc

oh ok, but youre still a tool

[dbmcfc]

@guitar19904 Your great gran sucked my tool

[guitar19904]

@dbmcfc

wow youre into dead chicks. lol what a fag

[TheSweetestBlood]

TOTALLY RIGHT

[playmobilbarrett]

You suck! this one is better!

[malleymyster]

how do i suck, and why is this one better?

[TheSellarDoor]

@malleymyster Joy Division you cunt!

[kanegills]

i'm so happy they done this film well. sam riley needs a medal.

[IrMiMaPi]

I totally agree, and Anton Corbijn needs a medal too. I think Control was the best movie of 2007.

[IsolationIsolation]

I am a believer in Joy Division. Fockin' Hallelujah!

Ian Curtis, the best lyricist of the 20th century!

[7123526]

I thought this was the only song Sam Riley actually sounded like Ian Curtis. He looks very like Ian Curtis as well!

[josssmith]

love that bassline

[forcehu]

EPIC!

[Squab1972]

Feel it closing in, Feel it closing in, The fear of whom I call I feel it closing in, I feel it closing in, Day in, day out, Day in, day out, Day in, day out, Day in, day out, Day in, day out, Day in, day out.

[BobDylan1201]

Great!

[SoRazzamatazz]

Sam Riley didn't perform Ian Curtis. HE WAS Ian Curtis! Just a brilliant actor!!!

[anna315]

brilliant song, performed scarily like JD and tony wilson dancing-just great bit of the film

[l3inaryl3urnout]

love that little bit of tony wilson in with the crowd, genius

[kcscene0]

actually got chills

[Squab1972]

top film

[Wenners]

best part of the film I thought, amazing track

[Someday747]

I agree

[temporal76]

loved this bit in the film,top tune
