@@quetepasaclarin11 joy division was a nazi camp that would rape their victims but none of the musicians were nazi's it was just part of the OI! Scene in that time
@@quetepasaclarin11 Nope. Historically, a not-uncommon military practice was the provision of prostitutes for troops, as it was seen as a way to increase morale / vitality. And plus, up until the 1960s, women were technically just Objects, incapable of having their own thoughts or feelings, until they were sexually liberated by JFK and LBJ (who heroically took it upon themselves to bang out every single lady real good), and then they figured out how to burn bras, which were actually mind-control devices. Uhh, my memory is a bit shaky; some of this might not be completely true. But the prostitutes provided to soldiers was a real thing. The Nazis were one of the most recent examples of this practice, and the military camp brothels were referred to as “Joy Divisions”... It’s not one specific place where they raped victims. The Nazis were no angels, to be sure, but this was legitimate sex work..: and I’m sure the sex workers had total autonomy in their career choice, and were self-empowered, etc. etc. The band was using the moniker sardonically/ ironically. They weren’t associated with Oi/skinhead bullshit, besides the incidental overlapping timeframe. But seriously tho, fuck Nazis. And the commenter above spouting conspiracy theories about “Jewish propaganda” is just a fucking ding-dong, who’s got a floppy sack of unsweetened applesauce packed into his skull. No thoughts. ... Just the applesauce.
@@RZPPAA no we learnt about it at school, it’s not as though they wanted to go into prostitution but some women were so poor that really they had no other option - i suppose technically it was a choice tho
Oh even the fukn Cure shocked people back then!! Killing an Arab!! Not all was a joy to be a teenager back then, but bits of it were immaculate.. like this!! Why it's called post punk or whatever these days is beyond me. Fukn Maclaren had used the new wave pigeonhole... at the time we saw it as all one thing.
Ian has the coolest awkward dance moves of all time! Plus, his haunting voice and eyes. What a difference he has made in the 2 albums he has contributed to. Imagine if he were still alive today. The music scene would have been so much better. Truly an icon.
he would be destroyed for his right leaning politics, which takes aim at art, music, journalists, educators and anyone...flirting with nazi imagery, even as a collector or historian, is more ammo that is usually need. his wife wrote he voted for thatcher! lydon doesnt mind, i dont think they would have conquered the us market with the strange curtis up front.

@@districtbruh5742 Nah, his songs don't refer to any sort of politics, Ian used music as a way to express himself since he was quite silent and introverted in everyday life... I assume that politics must've been the least of his worries when he had epilepsy, a daughter, a wife and a music career to take care of, all of which overwhelmed him in the end and lead to his tragic end.
I’m 22 and lately I’ve been infatuated with punk and post punk. This album has quickly become my fav. It’s so personal but so universal at the same time, it’s beautiful.
Very much in the same vain as Iggy pop who inspired Ian heavily.

No band that has come before or after JOY Division has touched the pit of my soul or sent shivers down my spine the way this band has. 45 yrs later and they are still doing it. For me the greatest band that has ever existed.
i look back and I still don't understand it. this was a time of prog rock, disco, new wave was just appearing, new romantics started strutting their stuff and along comes this music, fucking game changer.
@@DaveAnchovies do people think the pistols didn’t matter? I mean I personally think they sound like shit (I say this as someone who’s been into punk for years) but it’s impossible to deny how influential they were
Ian Curtis was one of those rare people who just has something special about them. He was so charismatic & captivating without even having to try. It’s hard to put it into words how you feel when listening & watching him he simply draws you in & is mesmerizing.
I love how Barney didn't want to be upstaged by the singer and so did his own little dance too from 3:25-3:38 - it looks like he wanted to be a member of The Shadows!
We're very lucky that this even exists. Buzzcocks' first ever TV appearance, on Granada Reports in April 1977 performing Boredom (which Tony Wilson references in this clip) no longer exists. I can easily imagine this performance being a long-lost legendary clip. nb Public Image Ltd's performance on Granada Reports from June 1979 of Death Disco is also missing.
They used to tape over old tapes, anything seen as not historic or culturally influential was scrubbed unfortunately. Wdve loved to have seen Buzzcocks or PiL.
I've seen a photo of Buzzcocks at the Russell Club with a TV camera clearly visible wonder if that exists. It'd be great to have footage of that venue.
One of their greatest songs. Literate, timeless, ultimately uncategorisable. And I love the way the footage is overlaid. Vehicles look more American than Mancunian but it doesn’t matter.
Wow! This is great. I've never seen the Bob Greaves intro before. This is the best quality I've seen of this clip. Strangely, the recent 'New Order: Decades' documentary shown last weekend had this clip in fairly poor quality. Many thanks for the upload / upscale.

I used to think Ian danced so crazy but the more I listen and watch I honestly think he’s not trying to dance at all. It’s like he can’t help it, it just happens to him because of the music.
Their music really captures the essence of grey, of November, of brutalist and functionalist architecture, of the longing for something, anything else than the absence of hope.

@@haywoodjblome4768 If it was recorded to film, then it's unlikely you're looking at a restoration from film, because then it would have been restored to 4K.

Very few bands have musicians and singers who really are on point, the Smiths and Joy Division were on it.
Morrissey is the worst part of the Smiths, though

The late 70's was a great era for music for me personally.Possibly 1979 being the greatest year for albums too
