The Killers - Shadowplay (Live on Yeah! Festival Broadcast)

[Photonzos]

wanky version.

[MmhhmmXD]

Ian Curtis is GOD!

[jhmufc]

This is like watching Pat Butcher go down on Pauline Fowler, it's just fucking wrong!...

[mrChasenMONEY]

wait? so who originally wrote the song? the killers or joy division?

[xxbamesxxjurke]

@mrChasenMONEY is that some sort of sick joke? ian curtis was dead before brandon flowers was even born..who do you think originally wrote it sherlock?

[romiautumn]

yo estube ahi! I was there! genial The Killers!

[Oaksie2394]

ewww

[RyanTerpstra93]

The Killers took it from a good song to an imense song!!! :D

[TodImJanuar]

@RyanTerpstra93 LOL NO

[Tincho730]

JOY DIVISION FOR EVER !

[ShareTheMadness]

though I can see why fans of the original dislike it because they totally transformed the song (I think they pulled it off ) but The Killers even said so themselves, they said it sounded more like New Order than JD :-)

[ShareTheMadness]

I am a huge Joy Division fan and also a huge fan of The Killers. I don't prefer this version but it is still pretty fucking amazing in my opinion.

[yrureadingthisname]

I'm sorry but the guitar is completely butchered. Not to mention at 2:22 they start playing Ceremony. What? The vocals are different, but they are good. Joy Division just had a way of making their music so heavy and punk, this just sounds like something I would hear at a mall...

[classicbritpop]

Joys is mush better

[StevenIsGone]

Wow, WHy all the thumb downs on the people who like the Joy Division version better?

The killers did it okay

But Joy Division did it much better.

[suzban600]

Big JD fan here , Killers cover is way so better but technology has moved on since 79.

[JizzFace27]

@suzban600 totally agree with ya

[ganderlord]

stage is to dark??

but marks solo is beeeeeeaaaaaaaassssstttttttttt­tt...

[Allissa7694]

I like the killers cover of this song

[BrambletalonWarrior]

Play this all the time on bass. It's so much fun.

[sas147741]

Temon! Aguante Joy Division, muy buena version.

[heartcrossbonez]

I like this more than Joy Division no offense

[botneva]

they don't. they just play a song that they love.

[javiccdxt]

esta cancion es de JOY DIVISION, y esta pobre gente de killers parece ke no tiene letras propias!!

[znallely01]

se llama "hacer un cover"

[jairowairo]

pelotudazo... hay cosas q se llaman tributos, covers...infeliz

[Lizka88]

se llaman influencias...hacer triubutos a las canciones que los dejaron marcados como banda propia..!

[princesskaliux]

los amooo!! y amo esa kancion

[sergioth88]

the killer AT LASTT IN COLOMBIA!! coming soon, indie rock and roll for me!!!!!

[diablomanuel]

FALTA POCO PARA VERLOS EN PERU.....

[000csr000]

solo 2 dias mas =D

[whenitwaz]

The Killers are the best thing to come out of the States since i went home after my visit there,

I think other bands there should take a leaf out of their book and create a unique sound because they are the only ones there not stuck in the past..

[XxU2ferxX]

para toda la jente de Lima - Peru 9 de noviembre una de las mejores bandas del indie the killers tours 2009 atoda esa full jente del indie ya saven viva el indie the killers viva el indie the killers viva el indie the killers viva el indie the killers viva el indie the killers viva el indie the killers viva el indie the killers viva el indie the killers viva el indie the killers viva el indie the killers

[MarcusKiner]

lulz people hate because the killers aren't "raw," what more do you need? They are almost perfect live.

[Ev1ta]

No one can play this song like Joy Division. No other voice like Ian Curtis's. He was a fucking genius!

Btw, I like The Killers (no their last album). They used to be funny...

[AshwinR]

i like the killers version better cause i like it in a different way. i like joy division cause its like garagy and raw. the kiilllers one is like dark synthy upbeat which is really awesome

[espilehiyo]

i like the killers..but it think joy division's version is better, it is raw and original. hehe

[TheTinaKid]

Both versions are good. You can't really compare and decide which one is better because even though it's the same song, the styles are completely different.

[caligirl2191]

awesome performance!!

[Jurgi173]

the real joy division is much better

[Helixish]

ahaha, no. fail. no crappy synth pop band should touch Joy Division songs because of Ian's sheer genius voice. Brandon Flowers ftl on this vid

[pimentelg4400]

ahhhhhhhhhhh puto cover apesta !!!!! parece que estan gimiendo maldios pendejos comerciales

[RoCkForeVeR117]

nel. Para mi es basura. Hacen que la canción se escuche comercial. Y aparte creo que muchos conocen más la de killers que la de joy division

[totospirits]

This one goes out to Ian Curtis, 24 hung him self, but he had problems bad ones.......

[gusta20]

I thought it was 23

I mean

just read his lyrics and picture a 22 year old carrying around dose thoughts

[diobolikal]

killers version is ok......I doubt they even know what this song is about. Only Ian could deliver this song in it's rightful meaning with such force and passion. This is why covers usually fail in my book, they aren't the true minds behind the lyrics.

[nevenko91]

agree with you

[MaJaRo08]

this is a joke ?

[yejuan23]

i say this over Joy division

[bjondji]

if u pepole would click this video, to listen and not to criticize u would see that version is awsome in Killers kinda way....

[unknownZizo]

i knoww!!

[iamatwat]

thanks v much for this. their live performance of this at nme awards was cruelly removed. yes JD version is better but boy does flowers feel it and the bass is amazing. thanks again

[xfakemousx]

i like this one , so much more :/

[elulli101]

ian curtis rules 4ever

[XellKamikaze]

I've always tried to remain positive about this cover, but fuck.. Why did they add that stupid: "WHO WHO WHO WHO WHO WHO" shit to the start?

[maddiexsaurus]

i like the killers' version better.

[ChrisCarter1983]

Atrocious...Ian Curtis must be turning in his grave.

[Katzenfreundin]

Gives me shivers all over. Brandon has a presence. Great musican he is.

[BourneLippy]

Lacks the air of menace of the original. An inferior guitar solo to boot. Still, they are not a bad band.

[fzsb]

great cover...respect to joy division

[kurtnovells]

how is 'who who who, who who who who' more emotion into the song? give me a break!

[bricac21]

no its not impossible the killers rock this song out way better there the best in the business

[panicoanimal]

joy division is more better!

but i still love The killers!

[phanthomboy]

me two!! i like them both

[fbty74]

alrights...

[GS336]

I think this version is better than Joy Division's. I justy think the arangement is better and the singer puts more emotion into it that Ian.

[regulardude123]

Ian put an insane amount of emotion into every song, don't ever forget it. The Killers did this song great too..

[popartpunx]

they put "more emotion into it" than IAN? Are you serious? ugh....

[sofiafrgreece]

well as Ian had a terrible voice yes they do!

[timetunnelpro]

i wouldn't say its better.. its different both are great in their own way. i think you can't doubt ian's emotion, the lyrics really were from his heart. the killers version is insanely good though.

[tournico]

Wow  (L)

[bricac21]

the killers do this song way better then joy division

[fatbroccoli]

yeahh

[alistahr]

THATS IMPOSSIBLE

[hippiesmurphy]

ian curtis told them to cover it

[jessicaisthebessica]

he doesnt sound that great in this vid

it saddens me greatly to say such a thing

but it's true

and it's probably just because he's tired

but i love him anyway and he rocks any other time

[supercamel0]

Well I think that this is great performance, not just this song but the concert in general too. I also think that Brandons voice holds up really well too... So i'm confused how this is bad =s

[GS336]

The Killers are awesome. This rocks.

[tournico]

Falto el Grito

Ohhhhhhhhhhhhhhh :D

The Killers !!!!!!!! i love it

[bertrand1049]

Flowers kinda sounds bad in here, but over all, the Killers are a pretty good band.

[RolandCasey]

both version are great! and both bands great

[donuts911]

At 3:45 The lights plays an allusion b/c it looks like Ronnie is get stomped on or sumthin LOL good performance!

[skyline777]

awesome, i like this version better than the original.

[leecox321]

brandon flowers is the new freddy mercury fantastic vocal range ,stage presence ,flambouyance

[RhymesWithEmpty]

Man, I hope so. Nobody will ever top Freddy, but if Brandon can get up there on the same level as him, I will be overjoyed. He's not there yet, but some day, maybe!

[Alex4uall]

No no no he's definitely not the new Freddie Mercury. He was waaay better at singing, and that's a fact. There's a big difference between what Freddie sang and what Brandon sings. Brandon sings good and I totally love The Killers, but Freddie was better and that's a fact. Brandon sings false from time to time, which Freddie almost never did. But, who the hell cares!? It's indie rock and fucking roll and that's gods musical gift to earth, Killers for the win!

[nield8]

JD are better but i do like this cover

[MegaMuffin4568]

hahaaha i agree

[Rafa0607]

Grande The Killers mejor banda presente!!!!! Awsome!!!!

[Musssgo]

mierda, esta weno el video, pero pense que se hiba a echar su bailesito como el ke se avienta en el video

[kikotoes]

cual bailecito?? el no baila en el video!!

las imagenes dl wey bailando son d la pelicula Control, idiota!!

[user0name9]

a huevo jaja, como hay gente pendeja no?

[Kata1123]

great!

[meowkatt2002]

That looks like one of their best shows. Brandon sounds great & the energy is wild.

[bananarockera]

i was there

[johnyexhale]

love The Killers, but this cover really destroys the original

[user0name9]

how can you say that? it's a cover, a cover is with another band style.. am really in a bad mood so that's why i'm cranky, you don't live the killers moron, you're just a big talker fuckface..

[mervin3x]

AWsome!

[jennykahrs]

perfect=)
