Fall Out Boy covers Love Will Tear Apart

okay, the cover isnt very good, its just FOB's lead singer and his guitar, nothing else. no keyboards and so u cant really hear the LWTUA theme synths. it pretty much sucked. but it makes me feel a tad better that some of our american musicians actually know how joy division is, and its a pretty big deal that he did a cover over them

the first time i heard this i hated it, but i guess it was just the surprise of hearing a band my students listen to covering JD. now i don't think it's terrible, just mediocre.

a pretty mediocre. i wish they woulda put the drums in at least

you think that if all these bands that cover LWTUA were true fans they would cover something else, shouldnt they realize that everybody & their Mothers have Covered it already?

True, but then again, if bands want to reach a wider audience, they need to cover the better-known stuff, which usually means singles. That leaves only three Joy Division tracks...

but if you are a true fan you are covering JD for your satisfaction not trying to gain a few people who might think that you are cool because you can play LWTUA

if you wanted to be cool you would need to cover gutz or something from the first demo

Dint swan vestas cover lwtua an all?

Though that was shit too! Oh and paul "whenever i take a shat thats my home" young did lwtua an all.

Cant be arsed to look at the link cos theres only the original worth bothering wi.

I can't stand Fall Out Boy especially "Sugar We're Going Down." I can't believe they are going to cover LWTUA...

This is pretty hard on the ears actually.

I can't wait for my students to come in singing Love Will Tear Us Apart, the latest from Fall Out Boy :evil:

I asked my husband this question since he knows JD only because of me and isn't an avid listener. He says LWTUA, Transmission, and Dead Souls. I suspect he says Deal Souls because Nine Inch Nails covered it so he heard that before I could have any influence over him!

Well done Spike!

The Swans covered LWTUA. Not quite as good as Goddamn The Sun but wtf they did this back in the 1990s.
