It is very rare for a band or artist to do a cover that sounds as good as or even better than the original. Yet Girl In A Coma seem to be able to do this again and again! Excellent!
its making me dizzy the way she singing sounds like I'm high on weed but let me just say i love hearing them now she has a beautiful voice how come they not noticeable to other places i first hear them was in tap tap app in my iphone
Never heard of these girls before.. Was just flipping threw listening to music and came across them.. WOW. .I love how Morbidly Melodic they are.. Would love to see them and WovenHand together.. Just dreaming but.. I LOVE THIS.
I think i've figured it out. Why people don't seem to like Joy Division fans and fan's of good music that is. Its probably because a lot of them are pretentious weiners.
They cant appreciate someone showing how much a great band like Joy Division has influenced them.
But then again music is subjective and not all people can be as open minded to all music even though think they're better because they listen to good music.
why are people disliking this? just because its a cover of an oh so precious joy division song probably. if this was original they would love it. why bother comparing it? its pointless. whenever i hear a cover i just take it for what it is. and this a cool song, cover or not.
I never thought id ever wanna hear somebody attempt to cover joy division. they are unique and amazing, and need no covers. but this song, this cover, is wonderful. well done
134 likes and only one dumb ass didn't like it. What a deaf dumb ass!!!! Go listen to Justin Bieber if you don't like this then. This song Rocked!!!! I think they breathed new life into this song. Made it their own. Anyone who expects any cover song to sound like the original is as big a dumb ass as the one that disliked this video. Hell, it got voted by GQ for God's sakes as the best song of 2010 that you probably didn't hear. That has got to say something.
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
Might as well start clicking the thumbs down on this comment.
This Cover is crap. I like both girl in a coma and i LOVE joy division but this is a fuckin bore. There is plenty of Joy Divisions songs that should be played like this .. but Transmission is definitely not among them. This is supposed to be a guitar driven song and the only guitar is hardly even being played and when it is shes barely making contact with the strings. Sorry Girl in a Coma but this is a total fail.
@ariexmae First off this was an acoustic show so it was meant to be played this way...toned down and such. Their actual cover doesn't sound like this. This was filmed for a special occasion/special project that they were working on at that time. Being that i was in the audience experiencing this lovely event as a friend and fan, i must say that this was NOT a total fail, but a magical night that you simply would not be able to understand.
@Vness210 Im sure you enjoyed yourself. I'm sure alot of people enjoyed it. I thought they did a terrible job on THIS song. That doesn't mean I am an unworthy fan, or that my opinion is any more less or valid, nor am I any less able to "understand" the magic of your night. I didn't say they suck or that the show was awful. I said, in my opinion they butchered this song. I don't demand anyone else to agree. Maybe the freedom of opinion in art is too much for YOU to understand.
@changobilly22 Well I dont much believe fans are subject to unconditional praise. I can be a fan and openly dislike something about a band or a song performed by a band. These comment boxes aren't just for the good things people have to say. If it was it would say "Add praise". It's not that way much to the majorities dismay. The truth is that I didn't like it, despite my enjoyment of the band. Apparently I upset some people with my opinion. I DO like GIAC and I will keep on.
@ariexmae i think people just ment that you have to be able to see what they were doing artistically, from GIAC point of view and why they chose to do it or perform it the way they did
it doesnt mean (at least from me) that you cant have a negative point of view on this performance
it just means that from your comment, at least from what i got, you didnt really get it by saying that this song can only be played guitar driven
i think you ment to say "prefer it" instead of its "supposed to be"
@ariexmae I haven't heard the original. So the effect I felt was that it was beautiful. As an artist myself, we get comments from people that say "I love how you sound like yourself and not like the original" And some say they want us to sound more like the original. So it all depends on who is listening. Beauty is in the eye of the beholder and in this case the beauty is in the "ear" of the beholder. NO NOT BEER Holder, C'mon. :D ~Jessica Marie~
@rockstuff345 As I said to the others. I am aware that it all depends on who is listening. I only commented on what I thought when I was listening. I didn't demand agreement or trash the band. Only my disapproval of how this song was played. I did so expecting alot of hate to come my way over it but that doesn't mean these comment boxes are not my place to speak how I felt. I AM a fan of this band. One bad cover isn't enough for me to dislike any given band. There are lots and lots.
I was born and raised in SA. This cover means a lot to me. I was the outcast guy back in '92 listening to JD, Bauhaus, pixies, etc. I live in Austin now where I perfectly fit in. It is nice to see this kind of energy coming from bands in SA.
i'm curious if "i remember you" will make it to the dvd or if it'll start off with clumsy sky...and kinda hoping the black and white will be optional...alternate angle? i guess maybe i'm just a dvd authoring nerd or something. or maybe i just think the beastie boys got it right with using all possible features on a dvd.umm, anyway...hope i remember you makes the cut. i remember it!
@KillJuanVol1 yep that's the song. i think a few people have done that song. i just had never heard it until then. i think ella fitzgerald or frank ifield are the most popular? i found a version by the beatles too.
Ive loved these girls from the start and to hear them cover one of my fovorite bands just puts the icing on the cake...great job!!!How i miss my hometown San Anto!!
Never heard this band before. Though they are very talented, I dont love this cover.

@ariexmae to be honest,it doesnt sound like your a GIAC from your comment
granted,i would have said somethin nice if i was commenting about GIAC,like how they covered a great song at least
n im not a big fan of Joy Division,but i do know that Curtis wrote some amazing song,this being one of them
Maybe GIAC wanted to emphasize the lyrics on this song,cus they are great,admit it
: )
btw,the DRUMS are amazing on Joy Divisions Transmission,its what blew me away,especially on the chorus,n Ians vocals
