tribute to a legend......(my day out oop north)

[Mr Sam]

 

so i was oop north in what i would call steel city 'shuffeld' the joe blogs.....WOW they have trams (gawd its good fun launching hard with your wheels on the tramlines )

 

 

anyway picked up my goodies a nice pair of 40's on a crossflow manifold thought while i was up that way id pay 'Park Hill' a visit the so called 'city in the sky' built in the 60's and its all interjoined flats now very run down and under re-development (and thats only half of it shown)

 

anyway after that i still wasnt content id be back home way to early it was wet at home and id have nowt todo

 

 

 

so off to macclesfield i trundled taking in the lovely scenery while getting irate at fooking caravans doin silly mph.......or lack of

 

and for my mecca of the day somewhere ive been longing to visit for quite some time....

 

 

i can die happy now

 

 

also nipped round his house, rather humbling to think someone youve looked upto and admired once walked those very pavements

[bronze4door]

could of nipped to capesthorne hall near macclesfield

 

there was a classic and american car show on there this weekend

[Mr Sam]

[bronze4door]

it was near jodrall bank if you passed that way as i am guessing you went home on the m6

 

macclesfireld is only 20 mins from where i live anyway

Sam, if your interested in old tower blocks then google 'Habitat 67'

 

That is certainly an interesting looking building.

Erm iam ignorant so will ask who is Ian Curtis?

[surfingturnip]

Erm iam ignorant so will ask who is Ian Curtis?

 

lead singer of joy division

[mk1super]

Never heard of em But cheers for telling me

[emu]

They became New Order after Ian Curtis died

[Trevmk3]

Park Hill is mahoosive

[Mr Sam]

Erm iam ignorant so will ask who is Ian Curtis?

 

lead singer of joy division had serious mental issues and eventually topped himself a few days before they were due to tour america

 

 

must of heard 'love will tear us apart' ?

 

the remaining members then formed New Order taking Bernard Summer as the lead singer, famed for going out and re-inventing music with such singles as 'blue monday'

 

 

 

just think of your favourite singer/song writer and think how cool it would be to meet them, i know its only his grave but i feel that bit closer

[bmxdave]

Yeah, Ian Curtis is a legend.

 

I have a friend of a friend who lives that way and ive gotta visit one day.

[Mr Sam]

quality avatar there

 

theres no end of 'new' New Order videos on youtube

[mk1super]

Heard it once or twice sam, must admit turned it off due to being a heavy metal fan

[MightySprocket]

the 'Joy Division' were the doris the nazis used to spawn the 'New Order' i.e. the perfect race... apparently both great bands, ahhh the hacienda... good times

[Retromotorsport]

The Hacienda ... hehe

 

New Order talking money

 

" we must have made so much money out of all these number 1 singles.. and album .. a tour .. wheres it all gone "

 

" aparently we own a club ..and its costing 100k a month to keep open "

 

"ohh we own a club.. when did we buy that "

 

 

Or something along those lines

[MightySprocket]

yeah, ripped off big time by the late Tony Wilson, believed by some to be manchesters biggest gangster

[Mr Sam]

yes joy division was the name of a nazi brothhle, there were called warsaw before that

[Stu_B]

Heard it once or twice sam, must admit turned it off due to being a heavy metal fan

 

I love my metal but 'love will tear us apart' is a fookin' awesome timeless tune
