[flydog7777]

[Mardyfella]

This makes me feel slightly better about the world.

[ZyanyaAJ]

Qué diablos le hicieron a tremenda canción?

[purpleblinkr]

wicked mate,

i like how you hell bent on capturing the footage at all costs.

Its great to see foreigners performing joy division.

r.i.p Ian Curtis.

[halfdutch3]

ABOMINATION.



[cadmus98]

@halfdutch3 I liked it. At least it wasn't a crappy trance remix from some German group.

[schwinglow]

@halfdutch3 In what way?

[factory63]

awesome, this made my day!!

[MrPergamo123]

very very very COOL!!

[PhabiolaMacabre]

This is too awesome

[WishOfSorrows]

Digital in the end :D

[Thecuregalore94]

And we could DDDAAAAAAAANNNNNNNNCCCEEEE!!!!

[darealdjnutz]

Way to follow that truck.  Well done.

[Kiwiiex]

For the first time Transmission makes me wanna dance the limbo :).

[Thursten8]

crap



[djclaudinho]

Fucking Brilliant!

[anavrintobin]

I'm 97.8% certain this is what the internet was created for. We can all go offline and outside now. It's finally over.

[OdoubleTO]

bizarre. truly bizarre.

[dpb119]

The guy at 2:16 is the only Joy Division fan in the crowd. His life is complete now.

[nitnoy77]

@dpb119 Don't forget the fan at 2:06!

[MeggieXAnime]

Absolutely fantastic - everything needs to be that bit eclectic as you get older

[benandkasia]

Yes-Aye!

[JeffChristopher]

This is the pinnacle of the information age: that a great original interpretation by an obscure band in an obscure medium (steel drums!) of a rather obscure (yet legendary) 30-year old song performed in an obscure parade gets spread to the world!

[chunkstyle5]

I bet almost all the people recognized this song. This was in Joy Division's hometown.

[fefetricksybell]

this has totally made my day. thank you :o)

[NervousBloke]

Completely ACERS

[Hasbo88]

it sounds cacophonous

[mauser7mm]

this has to be the most disappointing cover i've ever heard in my life. this may have been an interesting cover of joy division and maybe the members in new order would like it but god damn if ian curtis was still alive i think hearing anying of his work portrayed in this fashion would make him want to kill himself anyway.

[Wilfslad]

@mauser7mm I really like it myself, maybe because it's a completely different medium, but I think it works. I normally hate JD covers too by the way :¬)

[futuremrsromeo1971]

This is fab - I really like this cover of it.

[slowthunder416]

soooo sick!

[phear3d]

this is just awesome.

[o0WurmKaiser0o]

Nice!!!!

[surfinbird44]

Hell no. That's bad. Where the hell could be his smile ?

[Cudders37]

Great cover,great vibe.

[DundrHed]

The truck delivers the Joy Division for de-lousification at 19:16 as scheduled.

[sasuffie]

pinch me - this is mind blowing!

hahaha, i feel 20 yrs younger! and i never thought i would ever say that! :D

[PeriodicTableware]

Listening to this is very nearly a 'flat what' moment. If I weren't desensitized to absurd things the level of absurdism in this might well have made my head explode. Don't take that as criticism, though. That was a compliment and I'm thrilled that Joy Division was even covered, but holy shit. Pure insanity!

[steultje]

geweldig mooi

[redbear66]

Thanks, you just made my day. I feel like living again.

[TheRATTLEHEAD75]

youpeeee!

[joeyjoemofo]

I have a version of this on my feed but this is amazing!!!!!!

[Jaguiar05]

The only decent Joy Division cover on Youtube.

[schleimwurm1]

@Jaguiar05

check out day of the lords by 16 horsepower...

[StaVroula141]

@schleimwurm1 Their cover is awesome! Love JOY DIVISION love 16 HORSEPOWER!!

[dprague]

Very Coollllll...live on Ian!

[AjaxGerm]

Who Ever Filed This is A Badass For Walking along The Whole time

[Turbinensven]

Einfach nur schön !!!

[thejamesdolce]

AND DANCE DANCE DANCE DANCE DANCE TO THE RADI-O

you are legend

[shoklix2]

Geez -- don't folks know that the steel pan, steel bands come from TRINIDAD -- the home of calypso and soca music?? The amount of people in this thread that kept referring to reggae SMH LOL ...

Anyways, cool cover of I. Curtis' song. I admit, this surprised me too!

[makidtrej]

I can totally picture Ian doing his weird dance over this version.

[HerrKain]

I'm usually really critical about covers, but this one was very original and well done. I'm glad I listened to this.

[surfbumnate1]

That is SOOOOOOOOO COOOOOL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[surfbumnate1]

That is SOOOOOOOOO COOOOOL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[bunnylakesrighthere]

This is awesome. I made an mp3 that more or less straightens out all the level changes (except for the part that works well as a sort of false ending) and lets it build in intensity up through the end. It's here: media fire dot com/?iacuv8esnbst639. Give a thumbs-up if you download so others can still see the link later.

[bunnylakesrighthere]

@bunnylakesrighthere

Me again--made another mp3 of this version of the song that pumps up the levels all the way through for more intensity, more of a party mix. Decided I prefer this so thought I'd share it too:

media fire com/?r1fpefm548938nf

[gregwright77]

@bunnylakesrighthere

You have the best screen name hands down. Preminger has a smile on his face.

[lindadudley1217]

This reminds me of Mardi Gras!

[JoeDeMarie08]

Jenny said when she was just by five years old

You know y parents gonna be the death of us all

Two tv sets and two cadillac cars -

Well you know it ain't gonna help me at all

Then one fine mornin' she turnss on a new york station

She doesn't believe what she hears at all

Ooh, she started dancin' to that fine fine music

You know her life is saved by rock 'n' roll!

[HouseLover77]

So cool! I love Joy Division and think this song being embraced by a steel drum band is totally tits!

[karen10117]

Great cover but the video made me seasick.

[gingerfromabrade]

thats awesome!

[kayozz13]

This is ace.

[DSG1982]

Absolutely outstanding! I love a good steel drum band!

[galhardoedgar]

0:51 dance dance dance to Sponge Bob

[replacements75]

Somewhere in heaven Ian Curtis is sitting back with fruity tropical drink with an umbrella in it.

[MOONST0MP]

Cool as fuck. Exellent !!!

[tip3r]

[GoonerTSL]

Love it!

[Context81]

@TheElectricRob

[taids]

@TheElectricRob check you out. you know.

[Tomazoone]

@TheElectricRob they do! everyone has seen Disney's The Little Mermaid!

[RandalCrookes]

@TheElectricRob I somehow doubt it - filmed in Manchester.

[gorgolyt]

@TheElectricRob you're so special

[blaydonracez]

@TheElectricRob iIn Manchester?? Probably the only place where 80% of the people would know it!!!

[Frank82tube]

ahahahaha FANTASTIC!!!

[scarletwest]

Amazing, wonderful, well done.

[dermot51]

No doubt on "sweat factory" records.... joke, joke  i like it

[mentaldance]

dance dance dance to the steelband on

[paulwhoo]

nobody does a good jd cover.i was ready to tear someone a new arsehole for posting it but instead i was pleasantly suprised

[bluemauvey]

@Musashi242...but you still want to 'blow those islanders the fuck up'? I reckon that 'expresses the feel of it'.

So it's ok to 'disrespect' the 'islanders - people', bust just dont 'disrespect' the music huh? You've got some strange ethics going on there mister.

[bettyswollocks38]

great cover version i'm sure Ian curtis would have approved

[EveryoneCallsMeChris]

That's SO cool! Much respect to the Steel Harmony band. We still love you, Ian!

[funkshiat]

hahaha, niiice

[franco216]

dance, dance, dance, dance, dance to the Reggae-oh

[dermot51]

@franco216 Smart arse i like your style

[ratcat2000]

@franco216 - beautifully punned.

[MrMonsterstiffy]

@franco216 um, it's "dance to the RADIO"

[drvoke]

@MrMonsterstiffy Your head; the joke went over it

[MrMonsterstiffy]

@drvoke  most stupid jokes do go over my head...

[xxtaxidermyxx]

@franco216 even though it's calypso, not Reggae, this is the best comment ever.

[ripplestick07]

@franco216 yhgr

[bluemauvey]

That is the bomb! Lmao!

[Musashi242]

@bluemauvey more like drop a fukin bomb on stage and blows those islanders the fuck up.

PURE SACRILEGE

[bluemauvey]

@Musashi242 I'm laughing at you in a teenage way, with my hand over my mouth...but I'm 45 years old. Could I ask, just for clarification, that you stand up proud and declare what it is that you really want to say, i.e. 'pure sacrilege' = because it's black people playing a Joy Division song on steel drums they should be blown up?

[Musashi242]

@bluemauvey its actually laughable. doesnt matter if they are black. even if it was an old church lady on a pipe organ. theyre never gonna express the feel of it, so stop disrespecting the music. and at the same time, you wouldnt see me goin to Jamacia playing regee. id get ridiculed and scorned. pure heresy.

[Salfordbluemoon]

@Musashi242 I wonder if Hooky, Barney and Steve Morris share your view. This is fucking amazing and they do it justice...how can it be disrespecting? They're Mancunian, by the way.

[Musashi242]

@Salfordbluemoon this is amazing? are you on crack? lol. do me a favor. dont ever listen to joy division again.

[Salfordbluemoon]

@Musashi242 yeah, ok.

[nuttywoody]

un f'n believable. Check out the Jolly Boys doing "Blue Monday"

[rnrdemon]

That is so funny, I just started singin'...

"Dance dance dance dance dance to carribean sound!"

I bet curtis would have liked this :-)

[MerlinVI]

ya man ya nah what i is talkin aboot lol dis am da chit das what it is alright....Oh my gosh i dont know what came over me, i do believe i was having some kind of out of mind experience rofl time here ....420

[supermex3663]

[mmm9mmm9]

Sweet

[kelvinjayw]

[gerrylives]

amaze balls

[mickdimas]

I find this to be truly awesome.

[falkyfalkenstein]

i disagree with everyone who thinks this is wrong or bad. it's fantastic, and ian curtis would have loved it. this video just shows how unbelievably good joy division was. i mean, how many other bands' songs would sound so fantastic on steel drums?

[999MrD]

ian has a smile on his face

[jkty776]

@999MrD definatly

[dermot51]

@999MrD  is this outside the arndale

[TazzyTazrick]

@999MrD.

most probably not, he was a pretty melancholic dude.

[skaterbitches12]

@999MrD more like turning in his fucking grave

[joeInterpol20]

its really a crime what some ppl do with this song

[nicademus666]

@joeInterpol20 this is a great fucking version! I suppose you hate the Black Arabs for their disco take on the Pistols?

[joeInterpol20]

@nicademus666 oh yeah brother , not really a fan of those , check out our version .. let me know what u think

[joshama87]

:) Love to see the respest for Ian.

[joshama87]

FUck YEAAAHHH

[carlosladen]

[oOVlPraLLaSlVOo]

That was fuckin' sick

[Beatmyguest001]

[thegregsharpfanclub]

[rael1999]

Joy Division on e's Madchester stylee !!

[chrisbeachey]

Out of this world! You have wonder just how many of the crowd actually knew the song and what is means. Still over cool.

[Salfordbluemoon]

@chrisbeachey more than you think...JD are legends in their home city.

[mantooth3245]

this crowd probably is waiting for a Nickelback cover,and don't have a fuc*en clue,right now..

[Salfordbluemoon]

@mantooth3245 people don't know nickelback in manchester.

[mantooth3245]

@Salfordbluemoon i hope your right.?....or maybe they are waiting for My humps ,by the BlackEyed Peas? haha lol..

[67vespa]

that is some fresh JIve,.

totally pimp!

[TheGigsixstringAge]

...

[perciphous]

that is a GREAT question :-)

[mojaroar]

outstanding... and that's from a lifelong J.D. fan....

[pawnsacrifice1]

wtf?

[bigornek]

Cette reprise de Transmission est juste....geniale!!!!

[Ange8]

@bigornek ENORME quoi. J'aurais aimé être là, ou savoir ce qu'ils sont devenus !

[Fixerkitty]

OMG this wins the internets for a day. I'm with hankdarwin on this--how many people knew that this was still a Goth club anthem?

[decontrol909]

Awesome

[IanCutris]

so great!!!!

[parksy010101]

Frign' ace.

[ritaedu1]

You have got to play the Golders Green Park Bandstand in London UK in the summer...bravo!

[hartmusc]

I think it's fantastic. Calypso-Curtis !

Let's face it , Ian didn't spend all his time trying to slit his wrists. He had energy for his Art, and I always thought that Transmission was one of Joy Division's most energetic tracks.

Good cover.

[worldofglasspain]

Nigger shouldn't play Joy Division. RIP Ian, just turn and don't listen.

[CyberspaceCosmonaut]

@worldofglasspain Fuck off racist.

[mehdi277]

ahh its in Manchester no wonder haha

[ollyaitch]

Ian would be pissing himself laughing

[Kerryxberryx]

Interesting..

[Lavidicus6]

WOW How cool is that!!! Thats like going to Disney World and during the Nightime parade hearing Atmosphere. And watching Mickey sing to Minnie as she is laying down on the parade float.....:)
