Ian Curtis-32 years On

[jayfx]

Sorry I've hurt your feelings flower.

I thought the same Squirtyflower, however, it seems he knows more about musical talent than Tony Wilson himself. We were very wrong.

I do appreciate real music but see a lot more talented musicians every month.

He did stand out from the crowd at the time by looking like a dead fish and having a silly dance so +1 for that.

Hi lyrics are no better than what a lot of young men would write if they could bother writing them down.

Well at least, in my opinion, you know fuck all about Joy Division

I will second that Squirty.

I'd look past weather people appreciate JD as a factor in their humanity, you're alienating the vast majority of the planet being your friend by doing so.

I prefer quality over quantity.

 

[asia fields]

because I thought he was rubbish so was interested to find out what people saw in him.

Now put your bottom lip back in good lad.

Well why not ask that question? The thread remembers the death of a manc music legend and blue, if you have nothing respectful or positive to say say nothing.

I'm a City fan, with a Factory records sticker on my laptop, and named my company after the Hacienda. So, yeah, Ian Curtis was pretty okay.

I do really wonder what would have happened had he gone on that tour to the USA. Would his lyrics have been a potent and his music as strong without the feelings that ultimately led to his undoing? You can ask the same about Kurt Cobain, and I'm sure others.

But out of his death came New Order, my favorite band forever, and in part due to JD's success and theirs came all else good that Factory did, not just in music. JD directly or indirectly impacted the world of graphic design, music production, how recording contracts are structured, the longstanding independent musical culture of Manchester, hundreds of other bands, and much else.

You may not care for his music, but his influence (and Wilson's and Gretton's and Erasmus') is undeniable.

Very true.

You seemed upset and offended.

I'm also a big fan of Syd Barretts solo albums and a lot of people think they're terrible.

He did stand out from the crowd at the time by looking like a dead fish and having a silly dance so +1 for that.

1. Other people are right.
2. Do you know why he danced like he did?
3. The last sentence is total bullshit, hyperbole for effect, and pretty much underscores the point others made that you don’t know much about him. Or you’re confusing him with Shaun Ryder.

Just dancing to his music?

I didn't add any hyperbole why'd you think that?

 

[squirtyflower]

Very true.

You're an amazing poster.
You can read people's feeling and emotions from a typed statement containing just thirteen words based on an opinion of your stupidity, just amazing.
