Radiohead - Ceremony

[@mcblahflooper94]

Perfect band doing a perfect cover of a perfect song

[@MarcS4R]

Perfectly said, just such a good cover.

[@serfcity1]

This is one of the few covers that you can tell that they love this song just as much as the fans who have listened to this song over the last 30 years.

[@Laurent75017]

This is the most beautiful tribute to Joy Division. Thank you guys.

[@adrewsona]

When you have an all time favourite track it is something when another band steps on hallowed ground and does so without desecrating the memory... played with respect and soul... sitting nicely between the Joy Division and New Order version (Curtis and Sumner).

[@soulrebel4c]

I cant stop listening to this song LOL... absolutely sublime...

[@nickjbland]

"Thankyu very mWUUHch... Now what?" -Thom Yorke

[@itskyb]

I never thought much of Radiohead until I heard this cover. It is simply awesome.

[@aaronamnesia79]

obviously we all wish Ian would've been the only one to ever sing this, but he died and Bernard did a very respectable job with the vocals. Thom and the lads play it with so much energy here. love it. Great cover.

[@SuperDelamancha]

props to any band that covers joy division, especially Radiohead

[@lauraeknudson]

Radiohead has the ultimate in the expression of this song. Thank you from the bottom of my heart for interpreting the beauty of this composition.

[@bgbreakdown]

It's like the whole sad world in two chords. Great cover.

[@milby9860]

That song really suits them 👍

[@molossoidale]

one of my favourite songs, great version!

[@bildavid]

Wow!!! So glad I listened to this "cover"... you guys did an awesome tribute to Ian!!!

[@6ettinold]

Eerie...one of several JD/NE tracks that helped pull me through my teens played by a band that made a huge impression on me during my twenties ( and still do to a lesser extent ). They really don-t make stuff like this anymore.

[@22222JD]

This cover was good enough and I'd say - big enough props to Radiohead for making it sound as close as possible--of course, there never will be another IAN CURTIS!! {Rest in Peace, sweet prince xo} @-->---

[@pablolerat]

de los mejores covers de toda la historia, creo que radiohead son los unicos que estaban preparados para tocar un covrde joy division!!!

[@korilakkuma]

thank you so much for this!

[@vsep13]

Love this

[@Starr90377]

Yes! Radiohead! I love this!

[@lucaspirangy]

Ótima versão! Obrigado Radiohead!

[@anthony72605]

WOW!!...best fucken cover...love it!

[@deddth]

so glad i listened to this cover.

[@Jeremyparker]

I think they enjoyed that! So did I!

[@joepurrp814]

New Order, not the world order but the BAND, they rock.

[@Iberotimuka]

they really pulled it off and did it justice if I may mix metaphors

[@deancoggins2851]

this is fooookin awesome

[@astrojoggiV]

Thxs a lot!

[@tomhagen5328]

the best cover

[@Zelda36J]

This is fucking excellemt - v surprised that they carried it off so well :)

[@thatguywholikesdbnstuff9724]

Fantastic

[@galumis18]

hasta me da ganas de aprender a tocar guitarra por esta cancion

[@yeseniareyesportilla6614]

Such a Grear Cover!!! Tom is So Amazing :D

[@djchubakka]

This is jiztastic! My Top Two bands at once.... aaaargh!

[@Nastyoff]

Never would have thought Radiohead would have the nerve. Good one! More a hommage than a version but well done. Even set up the video to look like they were rehearsing in Yorke's bedroom. Was waiting for his dad to knock on the door an tell 'em to keep it down. Have always liked the band (yeah, they are overrated but...), I respect 'em a biy more also.

[@tonykichenside8443]

Pure class

[@nature3]

love love looove

[@karlgor47]

Fantastic chaps, I normally cannot listen to your music. Well done

[@wagnerfilm]

Sorry if a million other people have responded to this, but this song, while written and recorded by JD, was actually released as NO's first single.

[@adrewsona]

If I had to come up with ten desert island discs New Order;s Ceremony would be one of the first tracks on the list. A cover version is always going to have its work cut out - for me New Order produced something close to musical perfection. The tears rolling down my cheek suggest Radiohead managed to hit all of the right notes! Many will disagree but this sits nicely between New Order and the Joy Division/Ian Curtis original (Still album).

[@Brunosantos423]

Very good!

[@alex6969ify]

wOW! great cover =D

[@superdetartrant]

What a good job.

[@LadyofSenf]

Joy Division is the best one...

[@swaggs]

Of course they produced the best version, but this happens to be the best cover.

[@TheHoboPants]

im really really really glad radiohead exsists.

[@NauticalStu]

first time i see ed playing the bass

[@jaqg7478]

Cada día os echo más de menos

[@slothrapist]

this is why events end

[@MRPetexxxxx]

hell yeah!!!!

[@Sync_Complot_]

me recordo a los viejos radiohead

[@lankybeans]

Technically, this is a New Order song. Regardless it's wonderful and I am so grateful it's uploaded here.

[@truemansparks]

Tanya technically it is a Joy division song written by Ian Curtis and the band as Joy division.

[@lankybeans]

truemansparks Thanks, I admit I didn't know the full history of the song when I posted my comment. Yes, it was performed first by Joy Division - but most of the lyrics were lost when Ian died, and only one verse of the song was salvageable from the recording they had of playing it. It was recorded under New Order and New Order wrote most of the lyrics themselves. I guess it's kind of a gray-zone issue who's song it is... but I think "officially" it's considered a New Order song, but it is a really interesting history!

[@lankybeans]

Sorry, meant that they had a recording of playing it live with Ian, and then did the official record recording without him.

[@truemansparks]

***** True Bernard had to decipher the lyrics that Ian sang on that recording because they were not written down anywhere i truly believe Joy division were leaning in the direction of what new order would become anyway ,less dark but fantastic more synth based atmospheric music.x

[@djdiefmusic]

Dr. House on guitar. Voldermort on drums. Great song.

[@etejuanete3]

it's not about being Ian Curtis. God why everyone thinks a cover means sounding exactly the same. it's about making your very own version of a song, and I think this is quite a great cover.

[@bobevers11]

baby, let's rock ... whooaa !!

[@robertthrossell4321]

It's just an absolutely brilliant song, so many gr8 artists can sing it.. Not like Ian tho...

[@swaggs]

Fucking awesome, that's what.

[@pilk20]

Esta canción me Embruja

[@TheEclipse9]

@guestpectacular I feel as though it's appropriate either way. While Ian Curtis did write the song, he sort of offed himself before a proper recording was ever done. And New Order is the same band, but without Ian. It's not their fault he died. Either way, I think Ian would be proud of how his former bandmates are doing and how beautifully the song turned out. The band (and song) is amazing, regardless of if it's called Joy Division or New Order. The fact remains that they're brilliant musicians

[@vikskywalker]

This is why events unnerve me, They find it all, a different story, Notice whom for wheels are turning, Turn again and turn towards this time, All she ask's the strength to hold me, Then again the same old story, Word will travel, oh so quickly, Travel first and lean towards this time. Oh, I'll break them down, no mercy shown, Heaven knows, it's got to be this time, Watching her, these things she said, The times she cried, Too frail to wake this time. Oh, I'll break them down, no mercy shown, Heaven knows, it's got to be this time, Avenues all lined with trees, Picture me and then you start watching, Watching forever, forever, Watching love grow, forever, Letting me know, forever.

[@sk84lafs]

Love the sound, wish they would have changed the chorus a bit, other than that one of my fave covers

[@thSubliminalCriminal]

I like deep voice Thom Yorke...

[@itskyb]

You are correct

[@fharidvalencia2068]

If you wanna listen to something related to this and new go check out Sick Days by The Holiday Crowd, it's amazing too

[@canuck21]

Tagging this as a New Order cover is not entirely false. There is no full recording of this song by Joy Division. The only way we fans get to hear this song in its entirety is thanks to New Order. Also, it's not like the band members are completely different, they did have a hand in writing the music. So although it is a Joy Division, it was first released by New Order so I don't mind either way.

[@GTiR23]

Wow!

[@Shadowplayed79]

@guestpectacular couldn't agree more my friend

[@paulwellerful]

la miglior cover

[@theclash186]

I wasnt aware that doctor house played the guitar on radiohead

[@canuck21]

I have the live performance on Still and the rehearsal session on Heart and Soul. If you have another version, than by all means YES I want the original recording from Joy Division.

[@pattersonkeith]

yea colin!

[@Poumpoumtak]

hold on Phil!!

[@cchoi108]

good cover

[@HideFromFacebook]

technically they didn't completely finish the song before Ian died :P

[@oscarsangui]

Joy Division cover!!!

[@patthewoodboy]

Radiohead play this like New Order would have liked to , if only they could keep perfect time , this is locked in and its also got soul ..chucks the original into the weeds:-) ...I like Rhys Knowles comment

[@AbrahamMeat]

@guestpectacular In fact, I came here looking for this video to post in Facebook, and felt ashamed to link the other versions that tag it as "New Order Cover". They should do some research.

[@muttlol]

Very nice. Galaxie 500's cover of Ceremony is still my favourite, though.

[@KinchStalker]

Even New Order would protest.

[@vallgron]

I really don't like the rocky intro but once that starts I love this cover only found out about it today might even prefer it over new orders version

[@vipersuphere]

its raw

[@skistar123]

00'10 he's there

[@chelseapoet3664]

Of course Radiohead do a good imitation, and are a great band - but I've always felt there's no point doing a cover unless you're going to do something different with it - and they don't. By contrast, (I Can't Get No) Satisfaction by Devo is the greatest cover ever in my opinion!

[@NoahBodze]

Who are the three people that disliked this?

[@xarabas]

God covering Gods

[@nicck]

No it's not. Half the lyrics were missing when the rest of Joy Division (New Order) picked it up. It's a New Order song.

[@ronswansonsnightmare]

excellent cover of a cover thts not really a cover......but is.....kind of

[@tarotsport1451]

anyone know what overdrive they used on this, I think Johnny's playing an OD-1 but idk about thom

[@DavidFrat123]

Ian C.

[@oogie008]

Maybe the best cover version. I wont compare it with Joy divisions version.

[@abbjorko]

bravi

[@guestpectacular]

I get really really pissed off when someone tag this video as "New Order cover" this songs is from Joy Division entirely =/

[@homersexual660]

New Order's version is the best.

[@stugats1]

best version other than JD was done by Galaxy500

[@dawnundersun9374]

🌄🌅🌄🌅🌄🌅🌄

[@NoahBodze]

@guestpectacular Why? It's the same guys, minus one. It's not the remaining member's fault that Ian offed himself.

[@HeatherAshley8677]

Thom replicating Bernard replicating Ian....MIND BLOWN but not in a good way.

[@guestpectacular]

I have the original recording from Joy Division if you want it =)

[@peterads1]

not bad

[@thebong1]

i am a radiohead fan from day one but this is a sick..as in sickining attempt to cover joy division thom does a good neil young but this sounds and feels nothing like ian curtis ..now the kills or vasolines would do it justice

[@michaelegbert5975]

It's hard to hear them struggling with the song. It's obviously so difficult to get the right approach. I'm not looking for a carbon copy or anything. Just saw Moby cover this with Peter Hook here in Seattle tonight. Was so much more. Can't explain it. Gonna stop trying. The song exists and we are better because of it.

[@blondeheadSUKS]

@BenBerzai42 i think oasis fans
