[Jeffrey O]

Always makes me want to dance.

Ian Curtis committed suicide 33 years ago today, so I have been remembering him by playing Joy Division ... He may be gone, but his musical legacy will never die.

[Abelinda Morte]

Agreed. :)

I hate cold steel

No cover will be able to capture that eerie feeling off the guitar in the background the way these guys have perfected it. But the Killers did an alright cover. (Not Copy, people!)

[MyloXyloto94]

Peter Hook is an absolute God at bass!

[Vulnavia69]

Their own ends will bring me to my own end in the end. AlwAyZ waiting for you my love, alwayz :(

[PurpleInTheDeep]

I like their sound!

RIP Ian Curtis!

My understanding is that the Killers were brought together by a Las Vegas newspaper ad put out the the guitarist... or is that what the government wants us to think?

Bottom line is that the Killers respect the heck out of Joy Division... Old lore has it that they even took their name from a New Order music video. I see where you were coming form, but you seem to be misinformed on some parts. The Killers deserve a little of your respect, you guys even have a similar taste in legendary music.

Peace, love and empathy to you, too. : )
