My fellow, for sure. I first her them in 89 at the age of 15.

I was 13 too in 1988 when I bought Substance and first heard them!

Settle down lol

They were/are the most important band of the whole post punk era, and then NEW ORDER! beautiful

@@brownson1970 Yeah, what an amazing story, Joy DIvision & New Order. The band(s) of my life.

kzfaq.info/get/bejne/qctzd71p387KiY0.html.... 1 synthesizer 2 chords and a few notes played by Barney made Closer - even more unreal!

Stop trollin clown

Atmosphere.

@@teacatsandtophats Re-read.

The Fox (What Does The Fox Say?)

I agree; it’s one of my most played.....🖤 Many people could relate to Ian’s words, his beautiful poetry.....”people like you find it easy....” 🖤

the most beautiful and difficult phrase of the entire song.

Me too..

What barriers...did I miss something in the lyrics?

you’ve been missing it for years mate.

??? Ian’s birthday is July 15th

The song I'd like they to play at my funeral.

This one and love will tear us apart

...What if you were speaking about New Order? Ian death or alive, would have changed what New Order achieved? I dont think so. They were already experiencing with electronic stuff. Atmosphere (what a song) has more to do with synth-pop than with punk. Or a clear bridge song from different stages. Postpunk!.

@@Santisaez1 ya pasar del punk al post punk es un paso que New order nunca hizo

@@vrillon97 No entiendo que quieres decir, JD fueron la quinta esencial del Post-Punk, y ya como New Order en los primeros 80 fueron relegando ese sonido (nunca del todo) para abrazar el new wave, electrónica, rock, dance, o una fantástica mezcla de todo ello.

their next album would of been up there with THE greatest albums of all time, ceremony/atmosphere/LWTUA/in a lonely place/dead souls etc etc, but factory and JD would of probably left a lot off and had just as many more incredible songs?

I think joy division would of been the greatest band ever tbh, JUST look at the songs and the quality of what was being produced? speaks for itself 100%

Have you seen Future Islands?

The audacity to try to compare Sam Herring to Ian Curtis is asinine and a complete brain dead take You can compare their stage “dancing” but Ian is on a whole another level lyrically. And I’ve seen Future Islands, 4 times in fact, they haven’t been good/great since 2013 and none of their music even comes close to Unknown Pleasures and Closer!

@@FracturedImage be careful what you so easily dismiss, you may just be looking at Van Gogh's ear

​@@winstonsmith9424what 💀💀

​@@winstonsmith9424😂ok....you need some milk.

really

Of course it does! JD stole the best parts of this from Lou Reeds Street Hassle

Wow, beautifully put. Brought tears to my eyes. Thank you for this comment. 💗

For me,..it was too🖤

Never knew they played it live. Very haunting

I just ordered the said book , on your text . Hope it is a good book respect, virtual friend

@@royferguson3909 How was it?

Totally not

@@JustinCase-ld4ih sure is

Well only the instrumental bit in the middle.

@@stevetaylor317 agreed that plus the lyrics! The whole “Don’t slip away” thing from Lou co-opted with Don’t walk Away by Joy Division. The whole feel of the piece, crescendos, stolen

I see what you mean. I wonder if Lou was aware of it?@@nottavictim5
