  • The guitar riff / drums/ vocals were intoxicatingly grungy for its time...........they say that Joy Division were the inventors of grunge.....very true...........immensely experimental music.........way ahead of their time........

  • His lyrics <3

  • This music is weird like me. JD rocks lol

  • Who's playing the synth?

  • ...JD's influences ran the gambit from Kraftwerk-Lou Reed (Velvet Underground) and nothing, absolutely nothing JD ever composed could ever be mistaken for grunge. Hell, even that Grunge-Icon-Imbecile Cobain admitted he was heavily influenced by Flipper and flipper sure as Fk wasnt grunge!

    Thus endeth todays lesson, mein kinder

  • @bala215 Who says Joy Division were the inventors of grunge, 24 year olds? Those of us who were around at the time would usually disagree strongly with such a remark..goth maybe, dark rock, likely and even possibly some sort of proto-thrash-like experiment but definitely not grunge.

  • Grunge Fuck. Don't get me wrong Kurt Cobain had his talents. However compared to Ian he wasn't fit to tie his shoe laces. Grunge my arse.

  • @bala215, lol. there is no similarity between joy division and grunge besides the general fact that they typically have drums, bass guitar, and distorted guitars....also, the grungey sound in this video is rarely the case in other songs. actually, on the album, the guitar sounds less deep and more industrial, imo...

  • Brilliant song - brilliant guitar Sound - Ian Curtis's lyrics were often based on books he had read or films he had watched - pure genius.

  • great song. does anything else really need to be said?
