  • Great cover

  • @maximillionbergeron soooo true! love it :D

  • Love Will Tear Us Apart is an amazing song with some of the best lyrics ever put to music....your blurb under the video shows your youth.

  • Comment removed

  • brian.. i love you. no homo

  • omigosh omigosh omigosh. awesome cover!

  • Its just an ok cover; it just sounds to ordinary. No band band or artist will ever top this song. Ian Curtis had a baritone and sang it so great. For this song, it just sounds better in baritone voice. Just like a depeche mode song, or any other synthpop music.

  • @joseitsme yep yep...except Joy Division was not a synthpop band.

  • Good Cover.

    

  • WOW... People are ignorant... He has a really good voice.. I don't see any of you with record contracts so shut up... Then again Nickelback has a contract so that doesn't say much.....

  • I hate this dudes voice....sorry lol

  • the killers cover is better

  • It's pretty funny that Aubert as exactly the opposite voice of Curtis' one

  • is it possilble to download this song somewhere? It's sick!

  • No They Didnt G...

  • Please Leave This Song Alone.. Joy Division And the Killers have Permission To Play This... Morally...

  • @Skankinglardbut187 The Killers' cover sucks. They ruined it.

  • I love this band! His vocals are so unique and their writing is just insane, pretty much all I listen to right now

  • Wow!! If you don't like The song, cool..But seriously don't act like Dumbasses And announce to the public how much of a douche you really are.He is an artist, making A lot more money At singing than Anyone of you wierdos judging him Could...

  • This guy has cool synergy, when playing and singing.

  • Fuck you haters, Brian Aubert has an amazing voice.

  • this song isn't on itunes, do you know where i can find it?

  • My dear friend, Curtis Michael. Fuck you and your iTunes. Why pay for music?, arrrggg, bea pirate boi

  • @ninjamonky7 didn't you hear about the online police searching through computer's to find pirated files?...aol mentioned it like 2 weeks ago, thats why i don't do it

  • @ninjamonky7 Why pay for music? Um so the artists u enjoy listening to can continue to afford making music, u retarded piece of shit. Where do you think the money comes from for their contracts, instruments, recording equipment, and all the shit they need to tour. With no income they won't be signed to any labels. But im glad u enjoy being too poor to afford paying for music

  • @ViciousDeliciousIV

    oh thank you curtis michael.... oh wait your just some random youtube comment whore

  • @ninjamonky7 No sir, go pay for ur music

  • @ViciousDeliciousIV I'm a poor student at the moment, so I tend to 'obtain' a bands music at first... But then I buy my favourite CD at least even now, then go get the rest (unless there's one I hate) when I have money XD

    Like now... I have Carnavas... But I'll be getting Swoon come next student loan XD

  • If you have a problem with this dudes voice, you have a problem with yourself. SSPU is about the most underdated band in a decade and this isnt even his song and he owns it. Silversun is amazing live as well.

  • Didn't the killers do this too?

  • Brian Aubert is the best thing to happen so Joy Division since New Order.

  • STOP STOP STOP!!! Shameful!

  • what a fuckin gay voice..

  • why did he change the lyrics?

  • ian would kill him after hear that shit voice

  • Gay vocals...

  • Joy Division is one of my favorite bands, and I also hold Silversun Pickups in very high regard. Its always nice to hear covers like this.

  • He needs to stop hitting the helium before singing.

  • He looks duh high

  • Love it! Better than the killers cover of shadowplay. But I love how my two favorite bands cover shadowplay. I do wish the whole band was in on it though. Silversun pickups should cover it on their next album. They're #1.

  • This is does the original justice.

  • he can turn any song into an spu song

  • @PaigeVanDyo

    Fuck, he's just giving his opinion, no need to be so bitter, you stupid twat!!

  • He's voice is awesome!!!!!

  • Whether this is good or not doesn't really matter, because it's instantly better than the killers version of it...

    ... But honestly this wasn't really great. No hatin' though :) Silversun Pickups are gooood.

  • no bueno... like the band but this cover is shwag.

  • 45 people are fucking brain dead.

  • If you are here then look up to the first suggested video (in the upper right corner) it says "10 dudes who cry like girls"....what does that say about this vid? He sounds like a girl and I`m not the only one who has noticed that....

  • @kirdot2011 who cares if he sounds like girl or a guy or whatever. If it sounds good, does it really matter from what gender the voice is coming from?

  • amazing voice

  • His voice isn't very good when he sings lower notes. it just sounds weird lol.

  • @BigJarome74 I should just kill you right now.

  • sorry does anyone know which chords does he plat?

  • ugh! how dare he do a cover of shadowplay.

  • Comment removed

  • his voice doesnt reflect the desperation the original song makes you feel...

  • i love his voice, songs, and band.

    guitar skills.

    but i hate his hair..

  • @sraha710 i think his hair's awesome... as is his beard :p

  • his voice is soooo sexy

  • Ha, I never heard the Joy Division ver so I get to love this one and hate the original

  • Well, i like Silversun Pickups but this is just, well not as good as the Original or the Killers Cover.

  • Wow, I'm a huge Silversun Pickups fan, but I could not listen to that. It sounds like he's half-pinching his vocal cords and trying to impersonate Joy Division and Donald Duck simultaneously.

  • when he started singing i started laughing

  • @InternetgeekAndeet me 2 hahaha

  • Why do people gotta hate? Seriously? I like both covers

  • is this guy on helium? also may i note if your gonna cover a song then atleast take the time to learn the lyrics, from about 1.00-1.30 he makes so many lyrical mistakes its ridiculous.

  • @JoyDivisionLad shut the fuck up.

  • @lapsusdeluz touched a nerve did i, its not my fault this high pitched fag destroyed a classic

  • Way better than the shitty Killers cover.

  • man dude needs to make more covers

  • Another bad cover of a classic. I wish the pseudo-alternative bands of today, would stop covering songs that they can't hold a candle to. I can't play or sing, but my ears work perfectly well. This kid is talented, and I like the Silversun pickups, but it's not a good cover. Please don't get me started on the Killers version of this song. The Killers suck. They bludgeoned this song. If any aspiring musicians read this, please leave Joy Division alone!

  • you take a intensely passianate song like shadowplay. You cover it, and do it so many times that you become immune to the emotion and passion that should and needs to be delivered with the song, and you just kinda utter the words as you strum the guitar.........nope.....Ian Curtis meant it when he sang this song. SSPU is awesome but dont do that again......:)

  • This is my favorite Joy Division song and the Killers slaughtered it. I hate their versions. This is soooo much better than the Killers, but I still give my love to ian

  • he seems to laugh in the beginning of the song while he's singing. You can really see he enjoys playing this song!

  • huauhauhauha first of all, apparently there are people you think this song is from the killers! huuuumm, the killers must have done something right to make this so wouldn't you think? second of all, for you people who think this cover is better than the killer's, i recommend you listen to the original version by joy division and see if you can find anything cute about the song. brian just made it cute. this song is not cute. it has a lot of dark in it! wake up peep.

  • the killers version sucks.....

  • I love Joy Division and the SSPU's aren't bad, but I don't like this not a good cover Killers version wasn't too bad, but nothing beats Ian Curtis!!!!!!!!!!!

  • this is actually by Rory Gallagher....

  • the only version of this song i have ever liked was the original by joy division but this accoustic version is awesome!

  • another "better than the original" cover

  • Beats the hell out Brandon Flowers. God, I hate that douche!

  • What kind of mic is he singing into? Anybody?

  • How can you hate covers? There's some songs that were made better by covers. Johnny Cash covering Nine Inch Nails' "Hurt". Or, how about Jeff Buckley covering Leonard Cohen's "Hallelujah"?

  • his voice is not for this song

  • this guy is just great, awesome in concert too, i saw him in new york.

  • @TomTom80Tom Fucking agreed

  • I dunno, the only 2 joy division covers I've liked so far is NIN dead souls and Radiohead Ceremony.

  • this is my fav. cover. the way his voice matches his style of playing to me is better than the killers versoin although the kilers vidoe is beastly

  • pretty awesome

  • i love the killers one best!

  • This is too good to be true. 8D

  • dear "musicians" of today, if there ever comes a time where you think covering a Joy Division song is a good idea. just don't, because it's not.

  • Sounds like he's singing on helium. i love it.

  • is he taking estrogen?

  • damn this version sucks ass he kills the song just like those faggots killers

  • everyone is concentrating on the fact that its a covered song. oh his voice is so creepy, its not the same with him. dude just sit back and enjoy the song. hes amazing :)

  • His voice is ridiculously amazing, just incredible.

  • His creepy voice should not be singing this song

  • @verkpunk how is his voice creepy?

  • @TheLally829 its creepy because he sounds like he should be handing out ice cream to little boys and girls. That and when i hear this in my head I think of a crazy demon jester dancing around some dark and abandoned castle in hell.

  • @verkpunk his voice is not creppy but he does sound like a chick

  • cool

  • Argue as much as you like. I love this cover, and that's not gonna change:-)

  • @oyvinde85 what if I raise my voice

  • @verkpunk Let's just hope it doesn't go that far;-)

  • i think he's more attractive without the beard:)

  • I beg to differ with the haters of covers...if it weren't for the killers covering shadowplay, i never would have got into joy division and now I own all their albums...if i never heard moby covering a mission of burma song, i never would have gotten into them...covers have been a staple of rock music since the beatles...

  • @mikeb01904 Great. how would Ian Curtis make it without you buying their albums

  • I wish there was an unwritten law that suggests that noone ever cover anyone elses material publicly. Since there isnt. I can only state my 2 cents- what the eff sspu? I like all your own stuff. How bout 3 octaves lower only on this song. Oh you cant, well then dont do it! Ha and the killers, Jesus H....please stick to your own also.......doubt they would like it if brittney spears covered them.......:)

  • <3 this version much more than The Killers

  • LOL @ the kids that thought the Killers' cover was the original. Honestly, for an acoustic cover, this isn't bad. I just prefer the sound of the original.

  • Comment removed

  • still love Joy Division best...but it's nice to hear other alt band covering the originals.....Nice acoustic playing though..this guy has talent

  • Brian Aubert is amazing. You do kind of have to appreciate SSPU and what he's all about before you could jump right into this cover, but it is without argument that it is a few steps to the side from the original....but that's kinda the point, right?

  • ...just not the same...

  • the band has 5 of the top alt rock songs of the past 3 years, they certainly arent getting famous of from an acoustic cover paying homage to one of the granfathers of Alt rock...personally I loathe the Killers version, but I respect that they made it there own.....its a cover, not a copy ...this kicks ass...like Nirvana doin Bowie.

  • just leave the song as it is. getting famous with other's songs eh?

  • @weskerjill666 he didn't reach fame because of this song.

  • Even with the androgyny in his voice doesn't do this song Harm, its just as good as the original... But not as good as the original

  • This song is defiantly up this guys alley

  • i like this cover better than the original.

  • @lejumo Way better than joy division.

  • @lejumo go die dumb bitch

    

  • @jeffreyserna and im scared why? i suggest you go suck a bag o' dicks you jelly spined online shit talker...ahaha

  • @lejumo learn about music. but firsts die fucken queer.

  • @jeffreyserna im in a band, fucknut...and im done, go play your 10 year old back and forth with another.

  • i think his voice is too high pitched and girlish for this song. ian curtis had a very deep melancholy voice. i don't like this cover. the killers did an ok job, but their cover was very happy and bubble-y sounding. it worked for their style. this.. this is just painful

  • i have mixed feelings about this cover. on the one hand, it's a gorgeous...reinterpretation? i'm not sure what to call it, but he makes the song fit his style very well. on the other hand, it hurts my soul to have the brooding, heartbreaking quality of the original taken away. so i think i will just call this lovely but different.

  • leave the guy alone .that was a spur of the moment unplugged type deal.i mean 1 guy and a n acoustic guitar .i honestly dont even know who the fuck he is ,im a joy division fan .but i would like to see you assholes do better!!!

  • @schoopsmack true that! everyone is complaining his voice is too high, hello ppl its a cover its not suppose to be exactly like the original.

  • hes smiling! why?? the killers did it right. its dark and haunting. brian here seems to be trying to make it happy....thats no good...

  • He's REALLY gotta lay off those hits from those helium ballons...

  • @rangerstubbs76 he's just trying to sound like kevin shields is all.

  • @ohfeverhead I don't think it's as much that as he doesn't have quite the tone range as some other singers do. His higher voice is about the same as in most of their other songs too. I do enjoy Silversun Pickup's music, don't get me wrong. But the Killers came much closer to being able to cover the original song, and did a phenominal job of doing it.

  • i don't understand how anyone could smile that much while singing this song

  • Hes a class singer,But he kinda sounds like what a midget sounds like! lol

  • Meh..Acoustic guitar only? This doesn't really convey anything similarly to JD. As much as I don't like the Killers, their version is definitely a little closer to bringing it back to life. Don't mind the SSP, but this sound isn't their forte--or at least not right now.

  • anyone know how i can download this song for my ipod please i want to listen to it when i go to out !

  • @Oasis5858 i'd like to disagree, this man is amazing.

  • One of the best version of my favorite group of all time Joy Division

  • i need to see more covers!

  • Why do some idiots get all offended when someone or some band cover a song. Art can not be replicated only paid tribute to.

  • i agree man

  • joy division is great, the killers rock and, silversun pickups are amazing!

  • well said.

  • @yrsomanynamestaken .. The killers used to rock, they're albums are getting progressively worse imo D:

    Hot Fuss is my 2nd favorite album ever though.

  • @yrsomanynamestaken the killers made it rock and silversun pickups made it rock!

  • @yrsomanynamestaken

    wait, did you put the killers above joy division?

  • @AwesomeCoasters  I sure did.

  • @yrsomanynamestaken What could possibly make the killers better than joy division?

  • @AwesomeCoasters to be honest, I've listened to the killers for alot longer and never listened to joy division as much. But thats just me.

  • he is sexy & talented

  • your absolutely right

  • ricchiòòòòòòòòòòòòòòòòòòòòò!

  • he covered this good!!!

    i respect him, hes a good singer

  • its not a killers song its a joy division song the killers just covered it

  • @sumblinkfan4182 wow thanks cliff claven know it all

  • @sumblinkfan4182 Killers didnt covered it. Killers just killed it...

  • Brian is killing that guit and owning the vocal unforgettable

  • i find myself letting out a dramatic exhale right after he finishes because i didn't realize i was holding my breath from watching and listening so intently. one of those performances.

  • :)

    this comment is too short.

    this comment is too short.

    but all I really wanted to say was just :)

  • I could watch him do this aaaallllllll dayy. :)

  • oh I have. This one song. On repeat. All day. SO worth it.

  • wow, his singing voice in nothing like his speaking voice!

  • This is absolutely stunning. I love his voice so much! Silversun Pickups are so good live, even if they are slightly hungover! AMAZE. :]

  • ya it seems more like a cover of the killers cover, but still a good song. his voice is qutie unique in a good way but could easily be riciculed because of how different it is.

  • good one cover, but the best cover of this song is by AFTERHOURS, try it.
