Ian Curtis of Joy Division and his final resting place Celebrity Graves

Ian Curtis lead singer of Joy Division Initially, the band named themselves "Warsaw", from the song title “Warszawa” on David Bowie's then-recent album Low, but as this name somewhat conflicted with that of a London-based group named Warsaw Pakt they renamed themselves Joy Division.

This moniker was derived from the 1953 novella The House of Dolls, which featured a Nazi concentration camp with a sexual slavery wing called the "Joy Division". The cover of the band's first EP depicted a drawing of a Hitler Youth beating a drum and the A-side contained a song, "Warsaw", which was a musical retelling of the life of Nazi leader Rudolf Hess.[35]

"There's a taste in my mouth as depression takes hold" a line from Love Will Tear Us Apart. You just need to read between the lines to know there was no coming back from his dark place. Such a waste of a young life he was so talented in his lyrics. Thanks Alan nice to see you back ❤

[@MotorHomeBeepBeep]

Hi Charmaine well observed about the line. People do write about what they know and it's ironic that this dark style of music was popular. A lot of writers of books and music said that if you're too happy, you tend to become mediocre. Look at Rumours by Fleetwood Mac. When they were all splitting up they did their best music. Thank you ever so much for encouraging me. You're a star! Much love to you, Alan

[@Lisafer15]

Thank you for your respectful talk and visit. As a huge fan of JD (and a sufferer of epilepsy myself) I can understand the anxiety Ian went through. What should override this sadness is to highly embrace his talent as an amazing song writer and the fantastic production of an ever loved talented band.

Hey Alan, great video. I first heard of Ian Curtis and Joy Division from a Viewers Special video from Arthur Dark(Hollywood Graveyard), it was after watching that video I looked up the song Love Will Tear Us Apart here on KZbin. Pretty good song, I believe sometime after Ian's death the remaining members of Joy Division became New Order. They would be known for songs such as Blue Monday, True Faith and Bizarre Love Triangle. Once again great video Alan, much respect from the U.S.

[@MotorHomeBeepBeep]

Hi SCN that's very kind of you too encourage me and also that information was very interesting. I have no idea about New order either. I'll look them up to see if their style of music changed.

Its great to see you back Alan. Those sad ones are always the hardest to do. I don't know too much about Joy Division but his story is not unique unfortunately. A lot of celebrities take drugs to cope with the pressure of what they do and some can't cope at all. A very interesting story well told in a nice quiet cemetery. All put together made another fantastic video. Well done buddy.

[@MotorHomeBeepBeep]

Hello grave days! You're a real gent you're always so positive about my films. I appreciate that greatly. He was taking drugs while he was at school. I think he had mental problems for sure, which makes young life really difficult. Especially like you say with the pressures of show business, it's better to live a normal life the possibility of all that extra money doesn't make it worthwhile if you can't handle it. At least you and me are handling are superstadom with relative ease. It's always great to see you. Thank you Alan PS we will meet up one day I'm sure 😄

[@leolopezvalido1892]

So well said Alan: time always teaches us lessons. Your video and a beautiful day in Macclesfield ease the pain to all of us remembering how young Ian was when he passed away. I was lucky enough to have the "Unknown Pleasures" album (although, in those days before Internet, I didn't hear about his untimely death for sometime after.) Their sound and THAT artistic album cover left a deep impression... only years later to discover the "artwork" was based on the radio frequences emmited by a Pulsar star.... 1980 was, for me, so special with such diverse "pop" music! That summer I camped at Knebworth -among 180,000 others - and watched... The Beach Boys.. Elkie Brookes.. The Blues Band.. Mike Oldfield.. Santana.. and, top Newcastle folk rock group, Lindisfarne!! I'm sure yourself Alan - and your followers - have wonderful memories of music back then, whether it be Joy Division or any other group... ... and, crikey, these last 45 years have passed so quickly! Thanks again for your enlightening and memory jogging work Alan.

[@MotorHomeBeepBeep]

Hello Leo I never realised the cover was the frequency of a Pulstar how unusual. I've got a feeling that if I did listen to the music I'd probably start to get it but initially I didn't like it and I only knew that hit single. Fantastic that you did all the camping and experiencing. Well done! It's something I've never ventured into when I was younger those times. Will it be magical for you?. Fantastic to meet you. Take care my friend. Alan

Ever thought of doing Mark E Smith's grave ?

[@hughphillips1427]

I suppose if his wife had been there that night he would not have committed Suicide, but who knows he may have done it on another day. Either way it is a big tragedy. Thanks for the interesting video Alan.

Hello Hugh I think she would have saved him but he needed maybe more than that like you said. Thank you

Joy Division reminds me of Jeremy Vine! And I can't stand him! I didn't like the band either.

[@MotorHomeBeepBeep]

Don't mince your words, I have to admit I didn't know their music either and it's not for me but Jeremy Vine okay he earns too much but I can stand him.

Oh Alan how sad - he would have been my age bless him . Like you didnt really know his music, more a Queen fan but like a lot of talented people he was a tortured soul- great to have you back my friend missed your wisdom! Take care, and dont be a stranger! X

Hello, Carol yes I am a Queen fan also.... quick funny story once met a man who was in the army about 25 years ago and he had a picture of Freddie Mercury in his house and he was proud he looked similar and I pointed out the reason for the name of the group and he was shocked it made me laugh at the time :-) take care of yourself and thank you, Alan
