Peter Hook : The John Robb interview : in depth about Ian Curtis and Joy Division

[@vannjunkin8041]

Peter Hook seems to be the only element of JD that's left that relishes in the beauty and the cult of it. He gives the fans what they want because he feels it too. Hes not above it, he is it.. daily.

I could listen to Hooky for hours. Always interesting and always humble. Really wish the 3 remaining members of Joy Division could put their differences behind them and become friends again. Even if they never play together again, they were all a part of one of the most important and influential bands in UK music history.

[@AW-kr9fl]

He’s right when he said you can hear when Barney takes full control of songwriting on Republic. It worked for some excellent tracks like Regret but it quickly became formulaic and boring after Get Ready. I didn’t like WFTSC or Music Complete at all.

Just a good hardworking musician who I am eternally grateful having had the chance to see a few times.

Feel like Peter Hook has been integrated into my life since I was 17, Peter Thank you

[@nodarkthings]

Excellent interview, thanks. Some fascinating details here. What I like about Hooky is that he's so open and accessible. He really lets his fans into Joy Division and we can begin to understand what it was like for them. I have been a fan since I was 17 and at that time I knew nothing about the circumstances surrounding Ian's death. The only info I had was in the excellent book An Ideal For Living which just hinted at an "unusual set of circumstances" that led to his suicide and for years the enigma behind it all gave the music an incredible power in my mind. What's amazing is that I recently went to art college as a mature student and Kelvin Briggs was the uncle of a mate I met there. He came to our degree show and I got to meet him. Joy Division have been such a huge influence on my life and my art and I'd never have thought I'd get to meet Ian's best mate. It makes you realise though how real it all is. It's not just some rock and roll mythological tale. It's ordinary blokes from Macclesfield who experienced a huge tragedy and lost their mate. And who knows what we all lost... What might have followed Closer?? I guess the band must have wondered that too. Dammit, Ian!

Really enjoying the interview so far. I can't help realise that Peter Hook in interviews has had to relive the death of Ian Curtis over and over again. I know Joy Division are unbelievable and they were ground breaking, but that myth of Ian Curtis follows him everywhere, it seems. Great questions though, and I love that Hooky really gives the time to the answer.

What a wonderful interview! I feel that Hooky really preserves and celebrates Ian’s life. Bernard and Stephen I feel, hold onto the sadness of it in a way.

Oh God, this is deep. As someone who suffers from mental illness when you gain control again after an episode and can function normally you just want to blend in and act and behave like everything is normal because you don't want to burden other people with your problems that they can't help you with. Just being there, being a friend, and having fun with them is the best remedy they can provide. I get why Ian acted the way he did around his bandmates; he didn't want to let them down.

[@graemespark3401]

Thank you John a really insightful, mature and intimate interview. I was fortunate enough as a young man to see Joy Division live during their Buzzcock’s support in 1979 and still think their appearance on Something Else stands as a remarkable moment in music history akin to seeing the pistols on TOTP with pretty vacant. Who can ever forget the first time they heard unknown pleasures. And, to think all those great songs came out of a Tesco’s bag of lyrics ! Thank you to Peter and the Light for what they continue to do and of course to 4 young men who really captured the zeitgeist and mood of the time.

[@eightiesmusic1984]

I know this interview is about Ian Curtis but I recently watched again the 30 minute Granada Reports tribute to Tony Wilson from 2007 on You Tube which was broadcast after he died. It is very moving and charts his idiosyncratic career as music mogul and television presenter on Granada Television, a regional station based in Manchester. He was truly one of a kind, fiercely intelligent, loyal to Manchester and always keen to promote the city and backed his artists, refusing to rip them off. The documentary plays out with 'Atmosphere' by Joy Division and it is truly moving. He refused to pay privately for a cancer drug that might have prolonged his life due to his dedication to the National Health Service, even though he could have gone private if he wanted to. His socialist principles ruled it out and in the last months of his life he campaigned for the drug to be made available free on the NHS. He also co-presented Up Front on Granada, a debate programme in the late eighties and early nineties, where his intellect was in its element as he played ringmaster. A lot of people did not take Tony Wilson seriously and certainly took him for granted but when he died and ever since there has been widespread recognition of his importance to Manchester music. Peter Savile who designed record sleeves for Factory also designed the headstone for Tony Wilson's grave in a fitting gesture. Dave Haslam has some interesting things to say about Tony Wilson in his book Life After Dark, in which he essays the history of nightclubs and venues in Britain, including the Hacienda, where he was a resident DJ in the late eighties. A great book.

[@themerchantofengland]

Great read that, cheers.

[@matty7dream1]

Well said mate. Tony left us far too early. I've read many books on Tony, and Factory Records. Lindsay Reade wrote 'Mr Manchester and the factory girl.' It is brilliantly written, and very insightful regarding Tony and his life.

[@eightiesmusic1984]

@@matty7dream1 Thanks Scott. I knew she had written a book about Tony but I have not read it. I may do now. I thought he was brilliant on Granada Reports ( I grew up in the catchment area) and Up Front which he co-presented with Lucy Meacock. It was controlled mayhem ( he may even have described it as that) on a Friday night when the pubs were turning out. Great television with his intellectualism worn lightly but steering the debate.

[@yvettemoore1228]

Regarding Ian, what Hooky should know is that when a person has mental capacity (this is from a professional carer) they have the capacity to make unsafe and unwise decisions, and you don't have the right to do anything but advise. It's frustrating, and sometimes dangerous, but you can't make decisions for them. It just have been so difficult for you all. Much love.

Interesting to hear Hooky talk about Movement here. It's a great album only let down by some dodgy vocals (although that's forgivable under the circumstances). It would take a few recordings before Bernard finally found his voice. I've always thought that a "third" Joy Division album would have sounded very much like Movement. Going even further ahead, I don't think it takes much of a stretch of the imagination to hear Ian Curtis' voice on Blue Monday.

[@christopherbrookfield4785]

Thanks for this. Loved your Stewart Lee interview, as well. I remember hearing of the death of Ian Curtis, at the time, on John Peel's show, on Radio One. It was horrible. I can barely imagine what it must of been like, for those who actually new him, personally. One never seems to hear anything from Ian's family. Parents, or siblings. Deborah's book, Touching From A Distance, is quite moving. I remember a tv documentary, where Natalie, his daughter, now grown up, ofcourse, went to visit the bridge, in Manchester, which has been named after him. One is never quite sure what to make of Hookie's version of the story. He always comes across as very open, honest, down ro earth, but one always wonders how much of all this is a practised pretense. Also, some if his comments, especially about Bernard and Gillian, and Stephen, come across as a bit bitchy. Sour grapes, maybe. Anyway, whatever the truth of it all, I will always love the music of Joy Division and New Order. At their best, there is nothing,and noone, quite like it. I would also like to recommend Bernard Sumner's memoir. Well worth a look. He suggests, in there, that people decide for themselves which version of events, regarding Hookie falling out with the other three band members, to believe, listening to what he says, and then watching what he actually does. 🥰✌️😎

[@matty7dream1]

Hi Christopher. I am a JD fan of long standing too. I think Hooky was quite bullish in his younger years. That isn't a crime but it cab rub people up the wrong way. I personally believe the other 3 were a bit jealous of the attention Ian received, and of his relationship with Annik Honore, the Belgian journalist. Ian was suffering enough already, and could well have done without this, dare I say it, resentment. The song lyrics on 'Closer' tell there own story. Poor, poor Ian. I consider JD to be the greatest British band of all time. Knowing the truth about the Beatles etc. and how they never wrote the songs or played the instruments, makes JD achievements all the more remarkable in my view. They truly were an organic band. I'm going to keep listening, and keep watching all the DVD's on Factory records, and JD until the end. I feel they are a big part of my life.

[@Fremzley]

[@JWD1992]

Far be it from me to claim to know what Ian dealt with, but I get the impression he really tried to put on a brave face for those around him. It also seems like he tried to be a positive influence on his bandmates rather than dragging them down with him.

[@juju5568]

I never knew that track icb was joy Division, because it's about Ian Curtis ( RIP), on Movement album.🤔 I take it that Peter, his more opinionated than the other members of new order about taking about Ian. It must of been so frustrating for Hooky, after Rob Gretton died (RIP), because Bernard knew he could carry on with solo projects and Electronic music. I don't think Ian Curtis, would let Bernard make decisions about recording in the studio. It doesn't seem fair to me that a band with diplomatic ideas in their own principles can argue Over music. Yes, people do change and you have to respect their wishes. It was the same with Ian McCulloch & Will Sergeant, from Echo/Bunnymen.🤷‍♂️ Nothing last forever
