Joy Division! This video accurately demonstrates how the bass is literally amd figuratively the biggest part of this band's sound. Don't hate: the guitar, drums and haunting vocals are stellar as well.
Totally agree. There’s definitely a melody in Peter Hook’s bass playing that is the driving force in their songs. Almost all the tracks for Joy Division open with the bass
Ian Curtis said he liked the chorus effect Peter Hook put on the bass because he could distinguish it. That’s a strength to Joy Division’s sound-each instrument had its separate place and pulled its own weight. Nothing bled in together. Everything was sparse and unique.
@@seanmcglynn3638 agreed. Ian Curtis is a HUGE part of what makes Joy Division so unique. I'm a little biased about the bass since it was the first instrument I learned to play.
They were so dark and atmospheric. 40 years on and the music still packs a punch. And to those who say real bassists don’t use picks - nobody can recreate that sound with their fingers. This deserves 1 million views.
This video demonstrates really well how well written Bernards guitar parts are, they're really perfect counterpoints to the basslines, but very sparse and carefully crafted, which is a bit surprising considering how poorly he often played live.
I always thought that Bernard got worse at guitar over time, you can tell he had to concentrate a lot while he was playing, but even his playing from early new order gigs was pretty good and then later on you could tell he didn't practice as much or something like that
Joy Division will always be my favorite band and the single most important band of my life. I discovered them when I was 16 and it opened so many doors for me musically and led to me discovering so many good bands.
I love how you really have to do bass and guitar to capture a Joy Division track.... cause both instruments compliment each other so well. I really enjoyed watching this! Great job!
I was hoping that “interzone” would make it to the list, also great bass playing mate aaaaand now that you have a bass you should do some “the cure” riffs ;)
They should hangout before it's too late, what a chemistry. One of the best concerts I've attend was Peter Hook and The Light, I can imagine if they could tour together again, but it's hard, too much anger between them since Hook left New Order.
Always said he's the greatest bass player to never play the instrument! Him and Hook were basically playing what would traditionally be the others part
Started listening to Joy Division (and other post-punk bands) during the lockdown, and it's been quite a journey. Great stuff you've done here! I would have liked Day of the Lords here, since I just love the interaction between the guitar and bass, but we can't have everything
Disorder is one of my favorite bass guitar lines ever written, is amazing Also love will tear us apart inspired me to play bass guitar. Peter Hook was my first favorite bass guitarist
Joy Division to me is the GREATEST band of all time. Peter Hook was my big influence when I started playing bass. I watched "CONTROL" ,, it was very emotional and at the same time remember when I discovered Joy Division in the early 80's Hugs here from Brazil.
There's a lot of "drone" tones in JDiv which I love as well as how one instrument will keep repeating a short phrase while another instrument will voice a sympathetic melody. Combining two simple phrases to create a serpent like looping effect is what helps to make their music so hypnotizing. Let alone Ian's dance moves. He did the robot dance before it was even a thing.
Ceremonys hands down my favourite joy Division/New order song. The intro's simple but brilliant at the same time. I'm going to see them in sept if the Rona has done one by then
I'm currently working on an essay for college based on why i believe Joy Divisions sound will remain eternally melancholic and this video came at the exact right time and has helped a lot. Thank you
I saw Joy Division when they supported Buzzcocks at the Glasgow Apollo in 1979, and still have a vivid memory of Ian Curtis doing his spaztic dancing to "She's Lost Control"! It's a pity no one recorded that show, I'd love to hear it again. Buzzcocks were amazing too!
@@bloxsy_ The real shame is that there's very little audio of Ian outside the band, like interviews and such. I can think of like two or three recordings where you can hear his non-singing voice
I believe it was recorded, I think that this link is of that very show (the footage was remastered by AI back in 2021 but the audio is the same) ruclips.net/video/ksc-7rWm35A/видео.html
A band that has a beginner guitarist and a bassist can surely make iconic and yet easy to play piece of music. A band surely that every beginner must follow
Awesome! Joy Division opened my eyes that that were no rules to what rock music has to be. 40 years later these songs are still so much fun to play! Great job!
It was Hooky's line that made me want to become a bass player when I was 14. 32 years I am still playing, now covering Reggae, Dub too. And I am starting to learn funk. If I have never heard, I would have never started to play bass. Grateful. Amazing video.
@@steveFL450 Well yes, it does have some resemblance to songs like Stella was a diver or Obstacle 1, specially in the way they´re played but Interpol evolved into their own, of course the Joy Division influence is there
@@michaelcolt4196 yeah, you’re right. Don’t overthink it. It’s just a throwaway line from an article I read somewhere. I think of it like this: if you put that bit of “NDF” in a Petri dish in the NYC indie scene with all of its influences and let it develop you’d get Interpol and it’d go from there.
I wish I was alive when Joy Division was around. It would have been amazing to see them live. I did get to see Peter Hook and the Light do a Joy Division set though and it was incredible.
Your videos are amazing. Thank you!!! Velvet Underground, Joy Division, Sonic Youth, Alice in Chains... A video with Television songs would be awesome!!!

Great video! Amazing of you to include to ceremony i think a lot of people forget it was originally a joy division song. Love your vids, great tone, very simple and modest. Always look forward to them!
They wrote it as Joy Divsion with Ian Curtis and perfomed it once on their last show ever at Birmingham university. There's also a demo and a soundcheck version.

totally agreed! im the type of bassist who doesn't know how to use a pick though, in the past i used that saying as an excuse to not use a pick lmaoo
Just the snobs are worried about using picks :). Tony Levin sometimes used parts of drum sticks. And if he's not a real bassist.... right?
@@ricardojmestre I agree. The end product is all the counts.
Hooky don't use no pick la, it's called a plectrum in manc LOL
The bass lines are pretty simple to play but they are incredibly satisfying. That is an awesome bass by the way
Joy Division wouldn’t be Joy Division without the bass lines. They’re iconic and they’re very prominent in nearly every Joy Division song.
yeah i love the fact he added the bass lines
Hooky got hooks
Anyone know what kind of bass this is? Its gorgeous.

Joy Division is one of the best bands ever.
Ian Curtis was the heart and soul, but Peter Hook's bass playing was the glue that pulled everything together.

@@liamjohnsson6500 Yup, that's what blackrollins was referring to.

Thank you!

Peter Hook and Bernard Sumner are criminally underrated.

@@yeslyrics8018 Stephen Morris so much so, him in transmission is amazing
Guitar tone is simply stunning. New Dawn Fades gave me goosebumps
New order had their high points, but they were never as consistently good as Joy Division.
joy division is one of the few bands to achieve legendary status even though they have a short discography
Absolutely
@@nathanjosafat3371 same as The Smiths
Kind of unfair considering Joy Division was only around for 3 years while New Order has been a thing for around 40
Excellent work. Bernard Sumner is one of the great underappreciated guitarists...
Always said he's the greatest bass player to never play the instrument! Him and Hook were basically playing what would traditionally be the others part
@@Nijones1110 Yes!
@@Nijones1110 Also, Hook and Sumner actually did switched instruments at a couple songs

I could listen to Ceremony a million times and it'd never get old. Such a hauntingly beautiful song. Great job!
I've never listened to them before, I think I'm almost required to now, they sound good!
Oh man! You’re in for a treat :)
This is your first thing you should do in your to listen Uknown Pleasure from them
