@jbrown1169 I also saw an interview with Sam Riley in which he stated that it was extremely nerve racking to have to play in front of a crowd of Joy Division fans, and that they all tried really hard to get the songs right so they wouldn't let down the JD fans

@jbrown1169 Yes it's true that James Anthony Pearson didn't know how to play the guitar when he auditioned for the role, but he learned to play in two months.Originally A.C. had never intended for the band to play live,but they practiced so much together and got really good so they suggested to A.C. that they should play the songs live in order to make it more authentic and he agreed.A.C. clearly states on the DVD commentary that ALL the live performances were indeed performed live by the actors

@oXMistressLolaXo I saw an interview with James Anthony Pearson (I'll try and find it on the net) in which he said he lied to Anton Corbijn about being able to play guitar when he auditioned, and that he managed to learn to play one of their songs. But I'm seeing another interview (not video, just a website) in which he claims they recorded a master track in the recording studio and mimed it in front of a crowd of 200. So maybe the singing was live, but the rest wasn't.
