>Every lyric is basically a suicide note or a cry for help>Band members are genuinely surprised when Ian commits sudokuyou expect me to believe this?
>>121535602You're making the assumption that anyone in the band could actually understand the lyrics. They were basically illiterate working class.
>>121535602Oh fuck, I used the wrong Ian pic
>>121535631You're making the assumption that Curtis' lyrics are anything but big standard emo teen scribbles about the existential horror of tfwnogf. >85% country music is lyrics that make Joy Division sound like The Wiggles*, hidden behind zero layers of "poetic" piffle. The suicide rate of country musicians doesn't seem to be especially high, at least if you don't count drinking yourself to death as suicide.*The Wiggles** are clearly the far superior band**With Greg obviously, nü-Wiggles are so bad it makes me want to Ian Curtis
>>121535760I agree with everything you said.
>>121535760the most musically talented wiggle left before they hit it big
>>121535645holy shit
>>121535837Theyre right next to each other in my folder, i just typed Ian and it autofilled and i didnt think about it
>>121535631He told his wife that he planned on committing suicide >A loaded gun wont set you free so you say His seizures caused him too much pain and trouble to live peacefully
>>121535792>Being a hipster about The WigglesWeirdly I completely respect this opinion. Greg has so much SOVL though.https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Phillip_Wilcher
>>121535645lol zoomie, norf people in the late 70s didn't talk about mental health or depression or muh anxiety, that didn't become a meme until the 90s/00s, you just got on with things.Also all of JD were in their early 20's, you're still emotionally retarded at that age, no one is confronting their mates like "im worried about you bro", you just get on with it and laugh about what a weirdo he is when he's not around.
>>121535862Funny how both Ians had a dark secret that their band should have known about, but didnt
>>121535602Sorry, the way you phrased this led me to believe the horrid little cunt finally offed himself. He's still alive and kicking in one of His Majesty's cells.
I think the whole Joy Divisions concept and doom derives from Ian being haunted by his seizures and his impending doom. I think he even writes about how he has near death experiences when going through them and seeing a sort of heaven like afterlife
>>121536062Someone keep an eye on Ian MacKaye
>>121536062maybe not the baby stuff but I don't buy the guys in LP not knowing he had a thing for teenage fans
>>121536182>Britain is so shit that a seizure looks like Heaven.... peculiar!
>>121536135Hopefully he'll serve every single day of his sentence, then on his day of release he'll slip in the shower and break his neck
>>121536202>Manchester is so shit that a seizure looks like HeavenFTFY
>>121535951>m.
>>121536201>teenage fansthat's the main reason to join a rock band
>>121537615are you speaking from experience?
>>121535602>Lostprophets>Manic Street Preachers>BadfingerWhy are Welsh bands so cursed?

>>121541770What's so cursed about MSP?
>>121543967Guitarist goes missing the day before he was supposed to go to America for their promotional tour
>>121535602were they tho?
>>121544576Missing, never to be seen again. Now assumed (and legally) dead.
>>121537615I'm pretty sure it's the dream of getting millions for sitting in a studio making music, getting wasted, spending your summers touring the world, being hero worshipped, getting to meet/hang out with your musical heroes, collaborating with other artists, being paid 50 grand a night for 90 minutes' work and achieving professional and financial security by your 30s that tends to appeal more, anon... assuming the musicians are chads who were already mopping up puss as teenagers themselves and not nerdy losers seeking revenge for all those afternoons spent having their lunch money stolen or their heads flushed down the toilet at school
>>121548838he jumped off that bridge
