@@paulph12002 well as someone who has played guitar for many years, and taking lots of lessons and played with lots of different people, i can say from my experience that calling bernard sumner one of my fav guitarists has gotten lots of head scratches and questions.
Love that they mention Martin Hannett. I consider him Joy Division's 5th member as he molded the band's sound in the studio. It's so sad he isn't alive anymore. It's so sad Ian died before the band finally achieved some recognition and it's so sad that the remaining band members don't talk to each other!
Ian Curtis is one of those rare people I never knew, and died 13 years before I was born, but who I feel like I miss dearly and know so well through his lyrics.
Well done Hookey for credit where it is due. Without Martin Hannett, Unknown Pleasures and Closer would not have been as good. Absolute genius. RIP Martin.
Couldn't have said it better myself, one of those bands groups of people that you trust top to bottom. Believe it or not one of the things I appreciate about Ian this that he exuded both strength and vulnerability, something I feel is missing from a lot of the music and bands of today. It's as if he's talking for you
I'm pretending these interviews were all done while all three were in the same room at the same time where Bernard and Hooky patched things up to start working together again. One can wish, right?
@@thewhoman3182 All the acting like a bitch and saying crap like, "they're not New Order", all childish @s fuck. Also I heard him say on the radio in an interview where he says if Bernard, Stephen, Gillian and Phil had asked him if they could still use the name "New Order" he would have said yes......WHAT?!?!?!?! So basically he's used them because he was in the huff!
@@thegreenbastard5171 the reason hooky says "they're pretending to be New Order" is because the New Order you see now aren't technically the same band.They had to license the name New Order from New Order for the new band. And because legal stuff is complicated, the new band basically bought all the rights and everything from the old band, this effectively meant Hooky got written out of the split so he couldn't make money from New Order. And considering he made up 1/4th of New Order and wrote a lot of the bloody songs I can understand why he isn't particularly pleased. Also when Steve, Gillian and Barney met up to start up again they never asked Hooky if he wanted to be part of it, which is a bit of a dick move.
Bought this album from a second hand record shop in 1982 because of the cover and the shop owners recommendation... As a thirteen year old, this album took me down a musical path that no one I know either understands or could fathom. Thank You Peter, Stephen, Bernard and Ian.... Martin Hannet. All, Absolute geniunses.
Heroes. All these three guys. Will they ever truly know what they gave to us all. For so many, Joy Division and then New Order has been the sound track to our lives. A heavenly gift.
I remember Joy Division supporting Buxzzcocks at Birmingham Odeoan i was waiting to get Buzzcocks album signed and they walked past Ian was the one who smiled and said hello
These recent projects on this channel are like a heaven send for us diehard fans that don’t get to hear much new stuff about the band most of the time. Keep it up!

It's definitely cool, but it also kills the mystique of the band. It's not very rock and roll to see your favorite artists on youtube talking about the mundane, wearing shorts, and just being average dudes.
Unknown Pleasures is quite possibly one of if not the most important post-punk album of all time. From Disorder to I Remember Nothing, it’s a masterpiece. It’s pretty amazing that they only had short time of practicing their instruments and their songs. Then, they smashed the initial 10,000 copies of Unknown Pleasures, toured Europe,and influencing many bands. Joy Division is quite possibly the most influential post-punk band of all time and the most important post-punk band of all time.
The album is rather timeless and feels current or even somewhat modern still. Also, ace profile photo. Eraserhead is a classic and David Lynch is a god damn genius.
I feel so sorry for Barney, Hooky and Steve, even nearly 41 years after Ian died, they still miss him loads. It’s very poignant hearing them talk about him. Rip Ian Curtis 1956 - 1980 🕊
I did buy first JD album just after reading about the band on Melody Maker, many many years ago. A month after had to buy another one: the vynil was consumed! I had the honour to attend a New Order gig at Tenax, Florence (Italy) 1982. AMAZING.
No recordaba que le di like a este comentario, toda la razon, cuando conoces a alguien que le gusta Joy Division de la misma manera que a uno hay una gran conexion
it was 2015 when i first listen to Joy Division. I was 15. Now i'm 19 and i feel blessed for listening to them back then. One day I want the 3/4 members of Joy Division to announce a tour. I know it won't be "Joy Division" without Ian, but we still gonna love it. We all gonna be thrilled for good.
Somethings you remember for the rest of your life, I'm never gonna forget the first time i listened to this album. It changed me in ways i didn't know at the time, only now, several years later, i can appreciate the influence Unknown Pleasures had in my life. That's true art.
Could listen to them tell stories about Joy Division for hours and hours. In an alternate universe where Ian survived his illness where would the band of gone in terms of sound and genre? The 80’s were a strange time...
UNKNOWN PLEASURES es uno de los mas grandiosos albumnes de la historia , para mi mucho mas profundo e impactante que CLOSER , el cual muchos señalan como el mejor album de la banda .La oscuridad que emana la musica parece propio de una pelicula de terror o ciencia ficcion , pareciera que algo va a suceder en los proximos segundos , a mi me paso eso la primera vez que lo descubri hace como 15 años atras o mas , creci escuchando NEW ORDER y JOY DIVISION obviamente lo iba a descubrir mas temprano que tarde , a la banda le hubiera bastado con este disco solo para entrar en la historia , asi como sex pistols no necesito mas que de " nevermind the bollocks " . JOY DIVISION es un punto y aparte en la historia de la musica popular , es otra manera de hacer y entender la musica a traves de las emociones mas profundas del ser humano , por que hasta ellos y muy especialmente este disco , las bandas le cantaban a las chicas o a la droga .Larga vida a unknown pleasures y JD !
3 years old I was when this album came out. 9 years later thru college radio I heard tracks that impressed and changed my value of music till this day. According to an interview with Peter Hook, the 1st song they recorded is the 1st track on the LP, Disorder, which is, has been and will always be my definitive song from JD. For me, it's *the* perfect song. The drums that start the song and just don't stop. The bass that comes next and a band that finally gave bass a voice. The guitar riff that's just endless. Then the great Ian, just jams and me "seeing" him do his *robotic* dance. The best. Thanks guys. Truly.
