I grew up with the sounds of Punk reverberating through my head in South London, which changed my comprehension entirely, but it wasn't until I heard Blue Monday being played in a disco in Liverpool that my understanding of the world was complete. I realised that whatever rules existed could be bent or broken, so I owe a heartfelt thanks to Joy Division, New Order and John Peel for shining a light on the power of change. Vale Ian Curtis!
I have to admit that I know next to nothing about drumming, but I’m obsessed with Steve’s sound. It’s so different from everything I’ve ever heard. I don’t know how to explain it since I’m not musically trained, but he sounds simply fantastic!
Used to cover “ Transmission” with a band. At the end of the song, the drum kit would be soaked by drummer sweat, and our poor drummer would be hyperventilating on the chair trying to catch his breath totally soaked. Those 16ths are rough. 8:16
Never gets the praise he deserved as a drummer put a lot of hard work in keeping up his beats he was like a machine.
Totally agree

"The drum machine would play the boring bits and I would play the clever bits."
Such an underrated drummer. Came up with lots of cool interesting riffs and was tight as anything. Very important in defining JD sound
Loved the breakdown on Morris and Joy Division/New Order. Thank you !
Two great books written by Steve, typical Manc humour and some insights into why New Order boke up (well Hooky and Bernard)
Great drummer!
Interesting strategy. Instead of playing against the drum machine technology, play with it.
Symbiosis

Great video thanks. 🙏🏻

Those post punk disco beats are absolute hell to play for any extended period of time. They leave me gasping for air and both of my arms cramping lol
Definitely one of the world’s best drummers
One of the most influential bands ever. The Johan Cruijff of music 😅
Stiff Kittens was their first name
You think he ever met Steven Morrisey?
🖤
0:36 Ian Curtis was born in Manchester not Macclesfield.
Aye Stretford. Grew up in Macc though.
@@patkelly8309 That's irrelevant!
Bad choice of sample, as "Isolation" was the one song on Closer to use a drum machine (programmed by Morris).
Blue Monday...😂🎉❤ My mistake, wrong band..New Order.
I got the Warsaw Record
Live JD beats Martin H any day
nope
