  • The song and video both are a disgrace to Joy Division.

  • This cover is so dead. Everything about it seems soulless.

  • that's still a damned awesome mustache for even chuck Norris couldn't compete with Brandon Floweres mustache

  • Total bs why is this not available on mobile devices!

  • Anyone saw 24 hour party people? Makes the last second quite dark, doesn't it?

  • my favourite 00's band playing my favourite band at all. Gotta love it

  • @KiraSofiaNote my favorite band 1:47 :p

  • ok killers re good but meeeeen Joy division!!!

  • The play this at their shows. You play a cover at your concerts, when you know is one of the best fucking songs you've ever done.

  • Thumbs up if you've even heard of Joy Division

  • Finally(!), a Killers' video that is moderately interesting.

  • wow, they ruined it. they really took all the darkness and feel out of this song. sounds like radio shit now

  • love this song

  • i think rising tides is your best song

  • Listen to the Afterhours cover of the song. Very different from the original but full of sentiment. Killers cover is terrible

  • What a garbage!!!! That band is terrible, and the song lost all its sadness and original feelings at the moment of their awful interpretation.

  • who agrres lmafo is gay!!!!!! the killers are better

  • i love joy division...but the killers mmmm i dont know,this song is better than their past work,i think they are doing things ok.

  • Time to Dance 2:27 !!!

    :D

  • Love the song, love The Killers, love the movie, love Joy Division.

  • (i personally am sexy and i know it. and  i am glad i have a conduit in which to express that,

    its just how I roll, animal print pants out of control)

  • play it again. and again.

  • I love the killers! Always have!

  • Joke-Cover. The Killers kill Shadowplay. People - KILL THE KILLERS!

  • @makowmaz If you are here to hate, get the hell out. They made justice to the song and you're being a dick.

  • para mi esta version esta mejor que la de joy division... haters gonna hate

  • @Karroniz pues por que conociste primero esta, y te identificas con esta, en fin muy tu pedo

  • @LittleMonsterx91 oh seriously im way more obsessed than that

  • ian shouldve never married her<3

  • dios mio acaban d hacer esta grandiosa cancion escrita por un verdadero artista (ian curtis) a algo que no suena a joy division

    my god just made this great song written by a real artist (ian curtis) to something that does not sound like joy division

  • Comment removed

  • This is one of the better bands out there and are horribly uncredited and unknown for their work@

  • @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...

  • Check out our cover of Shadowplay! We're so proud of it. You can find it among the answer videos or looking for "Siberia Shadowplay".

    ASCOLTATE ANCHE LA NOSTRA COVER! :)

  • tssssss...............

  • 2:41 I've seen this man in Misfits tv series

  • Ian Curtis didn't want to be dark,He had problems,understand? If Ian saw this cover,He could smile them,he didn't want to feel down

  • It isn't a bad cover. I think it is very creative.. But it just does not have the dark hook.

  • oh dear

  • 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?

  • I came, I listened, I vomited.

  • @RainboColour I came, I listened, I embraced it.

  • @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

  • @IvanFennder That's ridiculous.

  • 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? :)

  • like if you came here just to post your displeasure...

  • This cover sucks ass big time, anyone who thinks this wet dribbly scutter is better than the Joy Division original should seek help immediately

  • k grupaso me encanta este gropo es sencional pero nunca llega al peru

  • 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.

  • what's the original song?

  • @cynthiaperez09 Of joy division.

  • @cynthiaperez09 Joy Division.

  • @cynthiaperez09 this is the orginal

  • @HobbaWorld This is a cover of a Joy Division song.

  • FUCK YOUR ADDS

    

  • I love this video..it's like a movie <3

  • @ColdplayRocs4eva Wait, it is from a movie...lol.

  • @ColdplayRocs4eva it's from a movie called control

  • Not the best cover I've heard (s'okay), but the video is amazing. At least they tried to freshen it up and not simply copy the original.

  • Ian curtis <3

  • no se confundan yanquis de mierda , joy division no es ni fue una moda , es musica verdadera

  • Not sure I like this , the original was one of my favorite tracks

  • this is fucking terrible

  • Extremely bold move from the killers to cover this...

    I don't really like the killers and as much as I hate to admit it...

    they did an amazing job.

  • eh ..... lousy cover version

  • Este cover es excelente! Las dos versiones son asombrosas!

  • I loved Shadowplay when it was original and I have to say that this is a good cover.

  • 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 )

  • @thisisacalamity The new album is coming out later this year indeed.

  • @reachfanatic1234 but the video is what makes it fun :P lol jk

  • @reachfanatic1234 thats why they have rock stations like kroq.

  • @reachfanatic1234 it was always gay

  • @reachfanatic1234 Thats why they have rock stations.

  • SHIT

    

  • R.I.P Ian Curtis :(

  • Do i need to say something about perfection ?

  • i like how we have a peaceful resolution here and their pissing on the killers on the other video i saw.

  • i've heard both the original and this one, and no offense to joy division fans, but i most definitely enjoy this one more...

  • why is everybody disliking this cover? At least i like it...

  • An alrite tribute to a great abnd don't dislike it all. This is how I want a cover to be. I want it to be original but at the same time retain some of the things that made it great.

  • I like both, I think the killers made a funny cover, not too bad, Ian is a legend neither Kurt Cobain is closer than him

  • 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.

  • 1:35

    Best part! hahaha

  • Why is everybody claiming this cover is amazing and well done? It sucks a lot.

  • David Bowie and The Sex Pistols!

  • o brandon nunca vai ser como o Ian

  • Read the book 'Revelation Space'. The references in this song are numerous.

  • nice ;) but the JD's version is BETTER

  • This is Blasphemy

  • 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.

  • epic song

  • don't compare the two versions, take this one as a tribute to an amazing band

  • Ian whould be proud

  • i love how its a tribute to ian curtis. the cover kicks ass, and the video is in memoriam

  • Holy shit, Ian Curtis look-alike O_O

  • that young band is ment to be TK i think

  • 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

  • can't agree more

    "Midnight Show" is the best song I heard form The Killers

  • this version completely owns joy divisions.

  • joy division's shadowplay is way better

  • song is my heart song<3

  • 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.

  • This version is a "Killer". 

  • This video is about band in the 70s

  • Comment removed

  • Don't really get the video, but love the song (:

  • @BananaramaRaspberry The songs off the soundtrack to "Control", a movie about the band Joy Division (who the song is originally by).

    The video is mainly clips from the movie

  • Actually both versions are pretty cool, but Joy Division's version is cooler. Don't forget, they're legends.

  • Dior Homme

  • a pretty chill song, for a pretty chill night

  • I like both versions.

  • l love this!!!

  • It's an ok cover, but nothing will ever come close to surpass the power and emotion of the original

  • Que buen cover a Joy Division y baila igualito que Ian...

  • great cover :3

  • Living this song as we speak...The situations we put ourselves in...Whats the outcome I ask myself..??

  • if people prefer the Joy division version to this song then go and listen to the Joy division version.

  • he's got a bitchin stache

  • @jacobjochem more like the stache has got a pretty bitchin man

  • aah can you tell me the name of the song duu¡¡ :B

  • yet again, a shitt band has ruined once a beautiful song, joy division is 10 times better than this shiteee!

  • Ian si sentia la canción....

  • Better than the original :D

  • @MyPolymerHeart fuck off

  • @MyPolymerHeart

    O_______O ok...........

  • @MyPolymerHeart behave.

  • @vIBIENNYx XD Just my opinion, the Joy division's version was pretty good though. :)

  • 350 people don't know what real music is.

  • can someone explain this to me?

  • I like this version better than the original by Joy Division!!! 

  • 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..............,,,,

  • @FlowersIsis LOL!!!!

  • @Jazzxoxo3 LOL i dont even know what i meant 9 hiurs ago.

  • Why does it only show an over used comment in the top comments section?

  • I love Joy Division since 1979 but I have to say this is a better version.

  • Fantastic Cover, similar to the original but unique in its own way.

  • THIEVES!!!

  • makes me wanna get up and dance! love them!

  • Hey where did my "stupid" roast beef comment go? :(

  • 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

  • si el tema es genial el video no se podría quedar atrás, simplemente es espectacular The Killers

  • 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?
