The Truth Ian Curtis (1956 - 1980) Ian Curtis Life Story A spectre hangs over post-punk: the enigmatic figure of Ian Curtis. Defined by more than just his tragically short life, Curtis was a vocalist whose baritone voice resonated with a profound darkness, mirroring the despair and alienation of a generation disillusioned by a decaying society. Fronted by Curtis, Joy Division carved a unique sonic landscape - bleak yet strangely beautiful, a reflection of the internal struggles Curtis battled in his own soul. His intense, introspective lyrics offered no easy answers, but instead, a raw and visceral exploration of human emotions, leaving an indelible mark on the musical scene and forever etching his name amongst the pantheon of rock legends. Joy Division were part of the first wave of young punks to come out of Manchester. They were inspired to start a band by the arrival of the Sex Pistols in the city in the summer of 1976 and their first recordings were primitive, angry, three-chord thrashes. But Joy Division were a remarkable band and soon grew out of their punk roots, while their lead singer Ian Curtis was a mesmerising frontman. His wild dancing and manic stage presence owed a lot to pre-punk hero Iggy Pop, but there were darker influences, too. Curtis worked at the Job Centre in his hometown of Macclesfield, Cheshire, finding positions for people with special needs. One of his clients was a girl with epilepsy. At one point in 1978, Curtis noticed that the girl had stopped coming into the department. He later discovered she’d had a fit in her sleep and had tragically died. The incident inspired Curtis to write a new song about the girl: She's Lost Control. This was distressing enough, but what made things worse was that Curtis himself had developed the symptoms of epilepsy himself.Joy Division made the long trip to London on 27th December 1978 for their first gig in the capital, but the show at the Hope & Anchor pub in Islington was poorly attended. Feeling negative about the situation, Curtis lashed out at the other members of the band on the drive back to Manchester - literally. As it transpired, he was having what appeared to be an epileptic fit. The other members of Joy Division - guitarist Bernard Sumner, bassist Peter Hook and drummer Stephen Morris - took their bandmate to a nearby hospital, where Curtis recovered. He was told to go and see his doctor when he returned home. ▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬ Subscribe To The Remember This UA-cam Channel Here ► geni.us/RememberThisChannel ▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬ 💥 History and Nostalgia Channel (20th Century History Documentaries)💥 Welcome to the Remember This UA-cam History and Nostalgia Channel where we discuss thought provoking subject matter from recent the recent past to modern day... get ready for 20th Century History Documentaries content on all things from conspiracy theories to real events and how they shaped our lives.
