@reachfanatic1234 im an amazing killers fan , sent a card to him as well , i'v been waiting for his birthday for ages ,i can tell you all of their birthdays , have them on my calendar , on my computer and on my phone
@ReadRideLove I think The Killers are awesome for laying low. Think about it, they came out with hits on the radio then faded to the background. They obviously have the ability to be on the pop scene. They probably don't want to...
lol how can people hate this version, it is pure gold. I really appreciate the original but Ive always thought the vocals(not good enough for my taste) in Joy Division are subpar to the music(very very good), and yes Brandon Flowers does a way better vocal work here, and they didnt do an exact copy of the original, they changed it which, in all honestly, is a harder thing to do. If you prefer the original then listen to the original, its right here on youtube too you now?
@RainboColour come on you are an idiot you don't know what Joy Division means.Ian didn't want to feel down,he just wanted to smile,Maybe if he had seen this cover,He would have felt better
So I have watched this video about 1000 times this week and I think it is pure amazingness! Like award winning ... But I looked at the comments and everyone hates it :/ or at least the fact that the killers covered joy divison but can u not agree the music video is brilliant? :)
On its own, this song isn't really all that bad. However, when you consider that its a cover, it's really not all that great. The only good things about it are the guitar in the background, the lyrics, and the melody; all these things came from the original song.
the killers are one of the best bands out there [not currently because they are working on new ideas and relaxing]so why aren't they putting more of thier music on radio and not the "I'M SEXY AND I KNOW IT"song that's getting gay and old
@reachfanatic1234 just wait for the new killers album this year...and we'll hear them (btw I think the new album is only a rumour so don't attack me if I'm wrong )
We're an independent label trying to make it in this game and the best way to do that is by being more known on youtube.One of the ways we stand out is we help unsigned artists get more fans by uploading their songs for a new fan base

WOOO BRANDON IS SO GOD DAMN HANDSOM , vote on nme for brandon to win? the hottest guy award BECAUSE HE SO TOTALLY DESERVES TO WIN also SPREAD THE WORD? and vote this the top comment so every one can see it and get the message too
I like the clip with extracts from Control. I know they have a lot of respect for Joy Division... as any band should have and it is good that they bring it to the light. But the cover in itself is just bad.
Basque people(hebrews of the bible,tribe of judah like Jesus) gave rise to white people.White people's genes are founded on the frame of the noble basque man and basque woman.After the ice age the basques scattered thruout the world sharing their culture and schooling freakin humanity.JUSTICE AND RECOGNITION MOTHERFUCKERS!!!! Pass it the fuck on,this is a big fuckin deal(Read Perry Pena's book shepherd kings)
AngeLstoCooLforU, I thought the same way as you and now I find Joy Division totally incredible band. You would better watch movie "Control", after watching this film I consider their music to be more than just music.
i never actually heard the Joy division version. i have been neglecting listening to them for a while but they seem to have had a big influence on a lot of the bands i like so i take that as a sign to finally listen to more of there work.
I don't really have a problem with this cover-- but I think they should do right by Ian Curtis and feature the original version first when viewing search results pertaining to "Shadowplay."
i like joy division's origional alot, but this cover is pretty good i think. and i dont like the killers all that much. i really only liked their first album 'hot fuss' plus a few other songs
This is a very good and respectful cover of an outstanding song. You have to try adding your own touch to something if you're going to bother covering it. This added their touch without being an insult to the original.
(It's rare to find the remake that outshines the original, such as Johnny Cash's version of Hurt.)
Appreciate both versions for what they are. Obviously the original is the original and deserves that respect, but enjoy an alternate version as well. Or don't and just go away.
OMG........my life is so GOTHIC.....my life is so BLACK.....i can not even put cream in my coffee, for it shan't be BLACK enough....oooaaahhahahaaaaaaaaaa..............,,,,
They did much justice to Joy Division. Watch the movies, 24 Hour Party People and Control. You'll also see between the two movies why he killed himself. And how they later became New Order
I like the Killers. But I'm sorry, they have no business covering this song, especially in the way that they did it. There are many other bands who would have done justice to the integrity of the original.
@KCJacksonMuz good point however the killers did a decent job covering this great joy division song i dont think any other band could have pulled this off so i agree with you somewhat
@KCJacksonMuz They were asked to cover it for this movie (I forget what it's called but it's about the band), do you really think they'd say no to an opportunity like that?
The song and video both are a disgrace to Joy Division.
