Joy Division - Sister Ray Lyrics

Great stuff. At the end I think Ian is singing "Had a good life" instead of "Had a good night".

CAROLINA PANTHERS FKN RULE

💓💓🙆🙆💓💓🙆💓🙆🙆🌌

Stephen getting all Jaki-like.

What did IC say at the end?

If only it were a proper 30 minutes as Lou Reed and God intended.

You should hear our cover of louie louie

LMAO Ian can't sing shit on this one... But he really has heart and that's enough I think, love VU and JD

That way it's more faithful to Lou Reed.

This is about 2539 times better than the Velvet Underground original. Lou Reed was always full of shit.

This is a great cover!!!!!

Aside from being a great performance on its own, I think this is a really good example of how VU influenced (post-) punk.

Anyone knows that Ian has bipolar disorder ?

Rodrigo Ribeiro No, he doesn't, *because he died 38 years ago, you fucking idiot.*

He did and was epileptic, as am I. Problemo?

2nd MAY

In Re: "British Human Radar. And Telecom "sweeps" at the time. Don't blame Ian a damn bit. He must have gotten' "VU" (velvet undergrounds (?)pad(?)" downloaded to his "brainphone" in Macclesfield LONG BEFORE " apple," "mi-one-through-"whatever," and the proverbial "like"...

you should hear our version of louie louie

Josh Homme No...no, you definitely should not.

No we should not, because it sucks dog shit

you should hear their cover of louie louie. wrow.

A recording of which does not exist, you wretched liar.

Love it, but it just ain't the same without that iconic organ.

John Cale´s organ that is. A real belter.

oh no you shouldn't do that, don't you know you'll stain the carpet

I always thought Interzone sounded like a speed up version of sister ray.

Its not inspired by Sister Ray though, its actually pretty much just a cover of the song Keep On Keepin On by Nolan Porter just with different lyrics.

Scott Clockwork the only thing similar was the guutar

fuck, yeah, play it LOUD.

i can hear influence from sex pistols in this song

This is a Velvet Underground cover - a song from 1968

Shut up ..Sounds great for live !!😂😂😂

Where is the rest? They left out 10 minutes of the song

They are Brits they had to have a tea break civilised

Just a blistering version. Pretty much as good as it gets.

fucking amazing

One of the best VU covers I've heard. And then several years later they shit all over the very same song as New Order.

wonkydude1 Apart from about four songs, New Order _fucking sucks._ This is truth. Idiots have been pretending otherwise since 1981.

Bernard should have stuck to guitar

not even gonna read anyones dissing of either V.U. or J.D. haters don't get that a cover is something you do when you love a song. end of story assholes. LOVE IS THE ANSWER. peace.

gn Lou.

No, you're wrong. Those lyrics also appeared in "Day Of The Lords" and "Atrocity Exhibition".

thank you for posting this i love you, althought i have this on vinyl i am not able to hear it right now.... nice quality sound big thanks

HADAGOODNIGHTHADAGOODNIGHTHADAGOODNIGHTHADAGOODNIGHT

7 amazing minutes

man you shouldn't do that, you know you'll stain the carpet

amazing!

Well played.

Genius.

If only we could hear their version of 'Louie Louie'...

I think it's safe to say this is the only time anyone ever heard Ian Curtis say "sucking on a Ding Dong"

I'm pretty sure those lyrics show up in "Love Will Tear Us Apart"--correct me if I'm wrong.

funkmike on the studio version I'm pretty sure he doesn't sing that. But you never know, he might have done live.

your right uv and jd are my to fav bands of all time and for them both do the same make me smile :)

Also, 'Halfwit'? I'm being teased by a weeping widow. To boot, you do realise the man who wrote this song was parcial to gay sex? Ol' Lou Reed. A bit hypocritical listening to a song which pertains to transvestites / drag queens having an orgy and shooting smack with NY sailors isn't it? A true story of debauchary.

ian walker no one gives a fuck

sister ray is about heroin-shooting drag queens fellating sailors in NYC and then shooting them dead on the carpet. .....and?

Hahaha, if that's the grand total of your riposte to me, I'll settle for that. Flagging up a typo and a complete misunderstanding of irony. I take it by the lack of a response to my accusations that I hit the nail on the head? I can link you up to a few useful studies if you like?

*awaits another tyrade of homophobic, generic and intellectually sub-par ranting*

Again - and I don't have a problem with it - you assume I am gay because I defend it; because I'm not afraid and think other people should be happy living a life that causes no damage to anyone else. You can't get your head around hetrosexual men can understanding this, and it kills you. I love that these things bother you so much, and I love that it's chewing you up inside, because there is obviously something there. I hope it eats away at you until you act on it.

'Fabulous'? Oh, that's a bit of a gay word. See, we're already witnessing little signs that you're trying to hide. By looking at you, I bet she's not that fabulous, married to a strange, ugly caveman like you; an uncharismatic chestbeater, who talks about masterbating and gay sex on youtube, at your age? Plus we all know the stories: Men married to women, they struggle in the bedroom and then low and behold he's caught fucking a rent boy in a toilet or a bush. That's you.

Also you seem to jump to the conclusion that I'm gay very quickly. The actions of an irrational man. It's fairly obvious you hate gay men for a reason; I work in the therapy field, and it's fairly well documented that an active hatred for something is often based on fear. The logical place to go after that is that the subject see' some of those qualities in himself and thus the consequently reacts against it. It really is sad that you're suffering like you are. You're only gay.

ian walker Yeah, but you _are_ a homosexual.

ha well it's not very rational to 'LMAO' at science, which the last time I look was based on empirical data and observation. That is very rational.

You sound far more repulsive than any gay man I've met. You should go back to your grey old age. Full of hate and irrational belief; Disgusting little wretch.

Ha unlike you I'm not a closet case. I'm not bothered by homosexuality, and there is plenty of incidence of it in nature; it is infact quite natural; it's the way the world is. Anyway you'd love to drown in a bath of spunk, don't fight it.

You fucking piece of shit. I hope you drown in a bath of spunk.

Awww give him a cuddle, theres definatley some man loving brewing!( - very much with with you on the lesbian thing tho) ;)

This is probably the only band that could cover Sister Ray properly. Brillant.

you are wrong on so many levels - you have no idea. End of conversation as you obviously lack any intelligence

Apparently, yes - but can't be bothered having any discussion with you

who cares

Wow - I am always amazed to find that people like you still exist, you come from the dark ages too then?

Joy Division seriously rocked out here. My version of this album has shit quality though. Thanks for the upload!

I've always wanted to hear Ian say "busy sucking on my ding-dong". what a great treasure.

Fucking awesome! IAAANNNN!

Anyone know where i can find The Louie Louie cover that Joy Division made with that other band and John The Postman singing? as portrayed in 24 Hour Party People...

HMMMM INTERESTING BUT NOT VERY GOOD BASICALLY A JAM, JOY DIVISION AND VELVETS DONT REALLY MIX

just had a good night

@marginalguy not hearing it to be honest, still sounds like 'should hear our version of louie louie'

@marcolabarile & 5 days before his first suicide attempt on 7th April... RIP Ian. xoxoxox

@Bunnypunker hmm... so I watched that clip but I am unconvinced for two reasons. 1. note that there a heavy echo in the mic - you can near that after curtis says 'goodnight'. 2. the reference made here is to something they just did: 'shown you our version of...' now clearly that is not louis louis. so its gotta be lou reed.

@marginalguy No,actually they did a version of "louie louie" and you can watch it on the '24hour party people' film. ;)

@WarsawRevision it's not 'louis louis', it's 'lou reed' (distorted by the echo). makes more sense doens't it: 'shown you our version of lou reed'

wow one of the few times ian spoke during a gig

honest at all
can´t say any more

The last comment was 6 months ago =( Don't let these songs fade!!!!
Share it and comment!

Honestly, the best thing to do in the world is the smoke a j, and play along with the VU's Sister Ray...skill doesn't matter.
