For me, the New Order version has always been a cover of the Joy Division version. And I'm really, really touchy and judgemental about JD covers- JD are sacred to me. And this is probably the best one I've ever heard. I love it. And I love that you guys seem to love it- best of luck to you!
I agree with yer latter point, , but personally I prefer New Order's version tae Joy Division's. I think we can agree we have heard 3 great versions. It is a fabulous song!
annwyn321 Hate it when people call this a New Order song! NO IAN CURTIS JOY DIVISION! RIP LEGEND. This is not bad though but this is better by Hooky.. ruclips.net/video/1bjUYyePhyo/видео.html
This is my all time favorite song, and has been since I heard Joy Division do it live. This song has followed me for decades! This is the best version I have heard!
I am 50 years old and a true Joy Division fan. Always hated when anyone covered this song because I always felt it sacred. Grew up ,,, and stopped being stupid. I really enjoyed this. Stayed true to the original but t didn’t try to imitate. Clearly you feel the song. Thanks for sharing.
I’ve just played three versions of this song to a good friend who has never heard this song before and he actually picked out this version as the best and original song 👍👍👍
I LOVE LOVE LOVE this version of this song!! Have you guys ever done any others? I think you should try PUSH by The Cure and BUT NOT TONIGHT by Depeche Mode
Sometimes RUclips recommend good stuff, sometimes recommend great things like this, good job, guys! Ian is so proud with people making this kind of covers, I'm sure.
I wasn't really sure what to expect, but.. It actually exceeded whatever I thought I'd see and hear. There you are, on my 4th fav video, since three months now, I keep coming back, more than righteous cover, it's amazing.
This Singer; got it. a son Singing & putting in a joke word; "same o`story". You held strong with One arm. Thats exactly the Muscle with. Thanks. -Pony Boy Sagrada [I'm the Vocals of it. We can double up, anytime. well I'm usually busy but you know]
Excellent. My old ass was there. This is both faithful to the original spirit and appropriately modern. That's a tricky balance. Well done, the for of ye!
When the song was written, it was a Joy Division tune. There is a live recording of it from Birmingham University (England) with Ian Curtis on vocals. There has to be a demo out there with Curtis's vocals. Nice cover !!
You're right, this was originally a Joy Division song, Alan. Here's a link to a rehearsal session with Ian on vocals. Thanks so much for the compliment! ruclips.net/video/MMQ1NrkPoKw/видео.html
This is brilliant - great job and nice video. Best cover I’ve heard so far. Drumming and vocals awesome. Guitars and bass well emulated. Perfect tempo and energy, you really nailed it.
It’s an awful thing to say as a huge joy division and new order fan this is probably better than the original and is the one on my playlist EXCELLENT 🎸🎸🎤🎤
Hey thanks so much for this flattering compliment, @cptbingo-nu6gf! We play mostly in the Los Angeles and surrounding areas right, but we'd love to expand our shows. We appreciate you!!!
top cover, it was joy division 1980 , don't think they ever released it as a single but new order did early 1981, the legendary hacienda opened in 82, i joined in the first week it opened along with mani from the roses, seen some great bands in the early days there
I love all versions of the song both the NO and JD alike, and many of the covers are great too. This is top shelf guys. Brilliantly captured the essence of the song.
Still love you all. Guitar riffs are awesome. You sing so well too, mate. I have stomach cancer, never lie, kind of hard to keep fluids down now. Thought, might be easier drinking wine from my grandfather's distillery. The worst thing is, is watching the clock hoping the bottle shop has not closed
Tremendous. My favorite version. As another said, the drumline is essential and your guy nailed it. Also very much liked the guitar - right level of distortion, and THANK YOU for not playing the main riff as triplets (so many do...)
Wow, this is damn good. It really is a pretty exact cover of the New Order single...but has a bit more grit to it. You know if New Order hadn't worked with Martin Hannett, "Ceremony" would have sounded like this. And I wonder if this is The Blackouts that did that song "Writhing" and "Idiot." I loved those tunes.
Nah different band. I was looking for The Blackouts (the band Paul Barker and Bill Reiflin were in) and ended up here. This is a pretty good cover though
Undoubtedly the best cover of a splendid song. Beautifully sung and each player are very good. The film clip is good, too. She reminds me of a girl I dated but unfortunately overdosed. Only suggestion - get rid of The Smiths shirt :D
@@nicolazovic5381 Bad depression I'm sorry to say, but thank you so much for asking. Again, much love to you and your family. I live alone. I never lie. I am an alcoholic, hence my isolation.

annwyn321 Thank goodness New Order remastered it!
I’ve heard the original that didn’t make it in time to be finalized before Ian’s death.

The only Joy Division recording of Ceremony I have heard has a huge drop in audio quality about a third of the way in. Is there another recording?
One of the best covers ever
Thanks so much, BigDom61! You rock!
Just a tremendous, honest cover of a rock classic.....well done!

Brilliant work.
Spot on Paul! Yet they are team and all play well. The singer knows lyrics and is amazing !
