@Griies hahaha! And my people, the Ute Indian's, were trying to figure out how to play Love Will Tear Us Apart on their drums. Didn't much work, but gotta give 'em credit for trying!
LooL I dont want to hurt anyone feelings... but i think that The Killers version is one of the faggest things ive ever heart!! Sorry but is just fuckin oufle!
this song among other jd songs seems to be a window of what was to come in certain genres of music.."to the center of the city in the night waiting for you" paints such a vivid picture in my mind
Leaders of Men and Wilderness?! Wow how alternative of you. Only a true jd fan would favor such obscure, less recognised songs. I agree Love Will tear us apart may not be their best song but it's far better than those two. They are comparatively dull to songs like Disorder.
Years ago, I bought 2 books about Joy Dision (An Ideal for Living - not the record, which I own; the other book is a photocopied fanzine (coz that was the technology for fanzines back then). An Ideal for Living is a history of the band from the perspective of their gigs, what was happening, etc. with tons of great photos. I knew it was a great purchase.
Their music is as relevant now, as it was then.
IMHO, Love Will Tear Us Apart is not their best tune. Leaders of Men & Wilderness!!!
I personally believe that both version's are good. I mean this version is amazing because it's the orginal and nothing beats that, but the singing is a little 'meh'. The Killers on the other hand did a great job with the vocals and it wasn't a bad cover all together.
i cant beleive the killers would even try to play a song like this. this is totally not what they are about. if you have seen control that movie about joy division or read up about the band you would know what type of band they were.. and for the killers to think they are in the same catagory is absurd.. ian curtis is one of my idols and i think he would awaken from the grave just to laugh in the killers face.
Thats exactly what I said. Like I guess if Joy Division had never existed (I dont even wanna imagine that but lets say it were the case) and the Killers made Shadowplay and it wasnt a cover, I would respect it but Shadowplay is one dark fucking song with deep meaning, it wasnt meant to be a pop song thats all happy with Woo hoo hoo's in it, it defeats the whole purpose and is an insult if anything. All the teeny boppers love the Killer's version and think its an original.
I like this version but I have to say I prefer The Killers version and yeah you may say I'm biased as The Killers are my favourite band but I have listened to this song quite alot and gave it a chance and I just don't think its as good to be honest, and I normally prefer originals. I think its good that The Killers are introducing the older artists and bands to a younger audience who had never heard of these bands before though.
it's hard to say that an original is not as good as the cover, i mean, they CREATED THE SONG. to redo it 25+ years later with loads of money and glossy production so that it becomes safe for 21st century ears doesn't amount to much.

killers and all this new wave of 2000's shit indie (franz ferdinand, arctic monkeys) are just rip-offs. it's shit comparing to this art. this is music because they created this music, not those who copy it now for greater amount of money.
Most of those guys aren't like Joy Divison. Interpol and the Killers are the ones that kind of copy this style and more than copy they just make a tribute to one of the bands that most influenced alt rock.
because of their lack of competency, they could not create anything new, but to "tribute". it's lame excuse. depeche mode bauhaus and cure are those who gave tribute to them, but they made their own revolutions. forget interpol and killers...
the shadowplay cover was great and they make plenty of songs but there newsest album was full of remixes and bsides, evry artist needs a break, odviously joy division isnt makin any new songs the killers are great and so are joy division
I've just watched the movie CONTROL- it's fucking great- Ian Curtis and Joy Division were a very important band in the history of music- as for U2/Killers covers well it's only a mark of respect for great art-tonight Ian rest in peace- never to be forgotten...
Well it's largely because most of the people in society are remote controlled slaves and will only listen and like what their corporate masters tell them to via radio or TV. Only a few people can break from that mold and seek out true artist to enjoy such as Joy Division. Being independent of thought allows us to discover some truly great music.
Thank you ravenouspigeon : ) I am honored. As a musician and song writer myself, I respect all music and can appreciate when people open up and just try to at least listen to what other music is out there.
All you people saying that killers are better than joy division must do some fuckin research and find out what Joy Division represents. By the way: you all know the name "killers" came after a New Orders video right? (new order is the band that the members of joy division formed after Ians death)
fukkin wow i didnt kno killers coverd this song i loved it the second i heard it! but im juss discovering these guyz for the 1st time im likin what i hear though
first jim morrison then this guy but mr cobain tried and might have left more of a mark but my fav is ston temple pilots. but my oppinion is way out there i know.
hey its cool, its your own ya know. early punk music is either somethin u like or dont like. its so diff. these days, but thanks to bands like joy division, alot of the music today is where its at. you make one thing clear though...all great bands and great music! stp fan huh? i was too. where do u stand on velvet revolver?
To be honest, i think that Paul Banks of interpol would have done this song 10 fold justice as a cover compared to Brandon Flowers of the killers. Brandon just winds it up too much. pauls voice just holds that dark and nostalgic influence somewhat comparable to that of Ian Curtis, plus the bands experience on this particular genre of music ranks high & is unsurpassed by any other post-punk revival band out there right now....lol but yeah, it would have sounded better!
Theres no point for a poll bro. the killers are so far away from a comparison to this caliber of band, it's insane. yeah they remade it and honored joy division, (wasnt too bad) but thats a cover, JD was pioneering. They were their own & paved the way for countless post punk bands. i honestly dont like it better than JD's, but long story short. no contest, anyone who just votes killers w/out second guessing needs to brush up on their music history. not hating, just saying.
why? If you like the killers and dislike Joy division, you're dumb? So if you don't like Robert Johnson, you probably dislike rock & blues?? Damn you're dumb
I think they do like Joy Division. They were very much influenced by New Order (hell, they're name even comes from a fictional band from a New Order video) and New Order is three fourths of Joy Division so I'd say to a degree, yes they do like Joy Division.
Both versions are good in their way, you've got to be open. And give me a break about the Killers, your all just lamebrains, name all the covers they've done numbnuts. God. Get over it, covers are to show how much they like a certain band that came before them, not to put that band down. The Rolling Stone were a glorified cover band early on, still are in a way.
dude chill its obvious you dont understand people are entitled to their own opinions, i like both versions in their unique ways, try to look at it from more of an artistic view rather than being a ignorant biased ass
i think you sum the killers up - 'cover' - i prefer bands who are original - joy division back in the seventies - that's right 30 years ago, can you imagine the killers having a film made about them 30 years from now..... i don' t think so
A perfect example of a better cover is "Hurt" originally done by NIN then Johnny Cash did a cover that blew everyone away especially Trent Reznor who bowed down in defeat because what Cash did was made it his own with all his emotions, not borrowed from Reznor, where many covers fail..
I like both Joy Division and the Killers which ironically took a name from a New Order video, they will always be less and they know it and don't care.
jd version is great and i agree they are the base of most bands becaues ther had beats but this versionis a little flat i like the killers versiona little better but i still like this one... i mean come one, its joy division
joy division r the best band ever...they where WAYYYYYYYY b4 there time its crazy,countless bands admire and copy them in some way, as for the killers things dnt make me laugh of corse ppl knew this song...read a book mate:),i like the killers but there version was crap..had no soul,i love the bit when hes singin "dance" like a mad man and there just standing there, joy divsion r the bases for ALOT of modern bands in some way..
killers my arse.the only great manipulation of this particular sound was stone roses i wanna be adored.rip ian.one of the greatest templates for last 3 decades
OK, I understand that the Killers fans will always like the cover better, but please don't call it a version. The song was written, recorded, played live, and perfected by Joy Division. Just because a band like the Killers wants their Indie hipster cred back, doesn't mean they can destroy this timeless classic.
The killers version is way better

You cant say that on account of there being more than just that band to be influenced by...
if so what would you say about joy division???
some band(s) influenced them not just 1 nor themselves to get started

I think they do like Joy Division. They were very much influenced by New Order (hell, they're name even comes from a fictional band from a New Order video) and New Order is three fourths of Joy Division so I'd say to a degree, yes they do like Joy Division.

The Killers and JD are two totally different bands..
The Killers covered shadowplay because Anton Corbijn WANTED them to.
They don't like Joy division...

Both versions are good in their way, you've got to be open. And give me a break about the Killers, your all just lamebrains, name all the covers they've done numbnuts. God. Get over it, covers are to show how much they like a certain band that came before them, not to put that band down. The Rolling Stone were a glorified cover band early on, still are in a way.

I always liked Joy Division's covers. Only playable one was by the Furs

the killers are great cover artists - bit like spandau ballet

i think you sum the killers up - 'cover' - i prefer bands who are original - joy division back in the seventies - that's right 30 years ago, can you imagine the killers having a film made about them 30 years from now..... i don' t think so

depends if the lead singer of the killers dies in some salacious manner.

how can you beat an original artist? name one?
abujak 4 years ago
Mad World- Gary Jules
(its a cover of Tears for fears)
thats how you can beat an orginal.
however for this song, i have no arguement either way for which i like better.

sorry, I think the original mad world had life to it, the gary jules one made you want to do am Ian Curtis

99 Redballoons-Goldfinger.
their cover is much better than Nena's original.
And the killers are not a cover band. Most of their music is their own and they are a great band.

the original version was in german, so they were covering a cover
abujak 4 years ago
with a crowbar? that's one way to beat an original artist. hells bells you could really beat anyone with a crowbar not just an original artist.

A perfect example of a better cover is "Hurt" originally done by NIN then Johnny Cash did a cover that blew everyone away especially Trent Reznor who bowed down in defeat because what Cash did was made it his own with all his emotions, not borrowed from Reznor, where many covers fail..
I like both Joy Division and the Killers which ironically took a name from a New Order video, they will always be less and they know it and don't care.

OK, I understand that the Killers fans will always like the cover better, but please don't call it a version. The song was written, recorded, played live, and perfected by Joy Division. Just because a band like the Killers wants their Indie hipster cred back, doesn't mean they can destroy this timeless classic.
