Thanks for the video. I've been a Joy Divison fan since I was sixteen, in 1980. First time I've seen Ian's resting place.... given his contribution to music and his sheer groundbreaking musical genius, I was surprised to see just how modest his headstone is. Perhaps that's how Ian would have wanted it... Rest in Peace, Ian.
Joy Division and The Smiths were in a class of their own, legends. Just wish we'd got more work's of art from Joy Division xxx RIP Ian, you'll never be forgotten ❤
They were unique in every way Joy Division as well as the smiths, I am proud to say they come out of Manchester, my next video is on Rob Gretton Joy Divisions Manager that will be released later today! please sub and hit the bell so your notified when its on :)
I live but a mere train journey away, I've attempted suicide so many times and was eventually committed for life at the age of 16 back in 1988. Joy division helped me through some seriously tough times and I'm forever grateful for their music. I was eventually discharged from psychiatric care after spending over 20 years locked away from society.
Tastefully done. I remember Ian was often in a shop which I think was called Jones' Music. It was run by a guy who clearly hated rock music and hated the youths who congregated in the shop. The shop was on a steep hill leading down towards the railway station. I've just looked on google maps, it's Queen Victoria St. If I've remembered correctly, it was the premises that's shown on Google maps as a defunct clothes shop: Little Miss Grace's Boutique. I was just a little kid and used to go there on Saturday mornings for guitar lessons from a guy called Les Hunt. Les, by the way, eventually ended up in The Climax Blues Band. The other place I used to see Ian was in the record shop which was in the modern precinct. As was the way, the place was run by enthusiasts and they had an amazing selection.
@@JME-TVnothing more than things like 'alright' or 'good album that' (from memory, about a Free album) etc. I didn't give the acquaintance any thought for a long time... I didn't realise the bloke I used to see in the music shop in the mid-70s had become the guy in Joy Division until some years after Ian's death.
I've seen many videos of fans visiting Ian's grave stone and this is a good one. One thing though - the original grave stone was stolen and the one that's there now is a replacement. Look forward to the video on Tony Wilson.
Meet ian in 70s band i was with supported joy division at some college gigs. Rock against racism. Lovely guy quite and friendly..until he got on stage. Wow..amazing RIP ian 🙏🎵🎶
No grandkids..yet LOL but ive told my kids about him...and other bands from 70s. Ie i was a roadie from 75 till 80. Best days of my young life...met many bands and crews..i think ian along with a few other singers was magnificent on stage, he was so unique and sincere...the real deal...your so right about joy division influences on other bands. Thanks again for posting it was really interesting and sad..legend forever. 🙏🎶🎵
Awesome vid M8 thanks for this! I mean the North was such a wasteland, nothing to live for look forward t or be happy about, Thanks to Maggie Thatcher and the fascist UK Government ignoring the North. I grew up in Liverpool in the 70's until 83 when I finally gave up on it and moved to Canada thank goodness. No wonder Ian felt this way anyone who grew up in the North back then knows exactly what Ian was living with (other than the terrible Epilepsy)
My dad is a couple of months older than Ian so he grew up in manchester in that period! He felt the same! He moved to jersey around 1976- thanks for the support mate!
