@dysfunctiongod dude you're fucking retarded he didn't waste his time with the chili peppers are you fucking retarded if it wasn't for them he wouldn't be the guitarist he is so stfu
I saw that about maybe 8 years ago when it actually aired in german television...the time i started playinf myself
From this moment i saw it i was addicted to his music. i taped the rerun trying to get chords hes using (wich are easyier than they look)....this man will always be a major influence in my music, whatever genre im playing....
a beautiful original, a beautiful cover done by an amazing musician, i love his work with RHCP but its so good to hear his solo and covers too he really is an amazing guy
Love the cover, much better than mobys version. O gush he play sooo emotionelly with the guitar. He plays both the main guitar and summer's line. Emotions...just feel it...
probably both, its a really simple song to play,ive been covering it with just my voice and bass as an encore with my band for the past 5 years. beuatiful arrangement tho. all credit to bernard sumner.
I'm really digging this Frusciante stuff from Europe. Never got to see it until now. His covers of this and Big Takeover (believe it's from Amsterdam) are amazing.
Since now pal- my view is that i dont think much of a copied song unless its played in a way that is uniquely different, with a lot of your own style and interpretation put in- not just copied.
I give credit to someone that does someone elses song but does something really different with it.
yeah lets get it straight- cannot compare to ian curtis's song, but awesome guitar no doubt.Original version on 'Still' is the one and only- you cant copy someone elses great song and get shitloads of praise unless you do something completely amazing with it.
I never thought I would see anyone justifyably emulate the intensity and stage presence of Ian Curtis...until now. He does Joy Division's best track justice by making it his own, not ripping it off. All the guitar parts done by the one man? I'm beside myself. Well Done John
god how does he strum like that......:c

@Fnkyfck i can play the song and the strum pattern is pretty easy. the hard part is pressing the chords right especially during the solo

I wish he would come to Manchester to play the song. It's a shame he won't be there with the peppers this November.
