Such a tragedy happend 29 years ago, i wish it was a different story, your memory and lyrics as still alive and make me and so many people come alive with emotion.

You're all overthinking this... Ian Curtis is a God

[guitar19904]

its not about the voice its what you project

ians lyrics where amazing had such depth and poetry in his songs. i personnaly liked his voice, it had a strong deep quality to it which in many odd ways mixed with the frail vunrabilty of his in depth lyrics. his deep raw voice matched the lyrics. amazing truely my most favourite signer of all time. he wasnt even that famous when he was alive but he is now in death. i will never forget joy division

Ian had a bass baritone voice,and that's why Hooky is gonna have problems with his Joy Division and the Light,He is even trying to sing like Curtis,I've heard from a music mag.Hooky was an average bass player at best and an even worse soloist, only just useful as a backing vocalist, so to try and sing like Ian is an insult,by the way-Durutti Column start every gig with The Missing Boy,as a tribute to Ian Curtis.What could possibly be wrong with that??

It's Vini Reilly paying tribute to his deceased friend, Ian Curtis, isn't it? Comparisons serve no purpose as their musics are so different.

@jasonledyard1 actually, Durutti Column are quite great (as is Joy Division). it's easy to associate them, unless you think same era, same label, same movement, same city, similar ethos, similar sound are enough to comparatively talk about bands.

Durutti Column are really very bad compared to Ian Curtis's Warsaw or Joy Division. I don't know why they would even be associated.

I am constantly surprised by the number of really crappy bands that cite JD as an influence. :(

I'm SURE that's Steve Morris speaking on the intro - had this taped interview in 1980. Durutti Column! Great stuff
