Heard a bad quality clip of it so I'd like to hear it if someone has the time to mail it to me. cathalmotherway@gmail.com
cheers
Killers played shadowlay in their encore at newcastle arena last night....Very Amused to see the bemusement of a lot of the audience!!...if the quality of covers is gonna be like this on the movie 'control' i cant say my hopes are high!! maybe a way of generating more interest in the film could have been to have a community style face off of JD covers by anyone and everyone instead of high profile bands like the killers!!!
they're american aren't they? americans should leave JD songs alone...what they touch turns to shite. think i'm gonna need a flame-proof suit now.
This is getting unbearable. And now they're performing the song live?? As if they don't have enough shamelessness as it is.
Maybe somebody should hand them a copy of Paul Young's "No Parlez?"album and force them at gunpoint to listen to HIS cover of "Bad 80s Production Will Tear This Song Apart" just so they can get an idea of how to do PROPER Joy Division cover versions?
They mailed in a performance at Aberdeen. The best way to describe the crowd for the rest of the night was 'adoring'.
Shadowplay seemed confuse the hell out of everyone.
The only NO fan in the audience turned his back in disgust.
the fact that "profile " bands are still covering j.d material 28years after the original was recorded (29 since it was wrote) is surley a testimony to the song,,beats bloody u2 playing l.w.tu.a. at wembley in 87.
even the wife!s talking about the killers,,mmmmm.
i watched it slip away.
What do you guys have against The Killers? I don't know the band much but their song "Read My Mind" is amazing. Why are you looking down at them?
I quiet like killers actually. But just listening to the mp3 and it is a bit mickey mouse. Kind of has a school band trying to imatate gods. Stick to what you know best boys. Whats all that synth shite at the start. As they get into the song they have a primal scream sound to it. Well not impressed
They performed it tonight on the NME awards,Channel 4 screwed up and titled it UNCLE JONNY off the SAM'S TOWN album.Musically it was alright,but Brandon's vocal weren't up to it though.Hooky was there and gave it a nod of approval though.
Why choose the Killers anyways? They remind me more of ABC than of Joy Division. If they were going for name recognition, think Interpol would have a been a way better choice...and they are back together so it is plausible(new album out this Summer supposedly). Guess I should give the song a chance before dashing it, but the words of others here confirm my preminitions......
....but Hooky gave a nod of approval so we must be off our rockers.

I think they got their name from the Crystal video which solidifies them as fans so I think it's ok that they were chosen or that they offered to do it.

I like it.
I like how you can see Hooky laughing and covering his forehead at the beginning.
They could have done so much better. It's as if they put no effort into the song at all. I'm slightly annoyed. But I'll get over it.
I really don't like the hoots in the song. I'm gonna cringe at the end of "Control" as the credits roll by. Let's hope the movie doesn't have funny out-takes and gag reels while the credits roll, because I'll want to roll out of there when this song hits.
Just came back from the Killers concert in Berlin. They did "Shadowplay" as an encore again. Different than the original, but I like it.
BTW: I am not 100% sure but I think the guitar player announced "We're gonna rock the shack!" before they played "Mr. Brightside".
