David Gahan is the ONLY man allowed to cover Joy Division. I haven’t heard a single cover this incredible. Ian would be proud ❤️❤️❤️

I love how in the beginning that guy says "no way". love it! awesome cover.

He has one of the best voices I've heard for this song. Most singers cant handle the low register.

great to see ian is not forgotten

This cover needs a studio version.

This song suits his voice so well!!

Probably the best cover I’ve ever seen. He does Ian proper justice here, it’s incredible.

Respect to Depeche Mode and Dave Gahan. They covered this song beautifully. Dave's moody, baritone vocals are perfect for this song. Ian would be proud.

God...only he could cover this...!!

a legend sings a legend!

ian curtis would be so proud of you dave!!!!!!!!!!!!great cover

Слушал Депеш Мод и Joy Division, ещё в школе, в СССР. Привет из Калининграда!

The only man who can sing this song who is alive. Well done!

Works really well. He's got the right voice to do it justice. Joy Division and Depeche Mode 2 of my favourite ever bands and this is a top cover.

His baritone voice is a perfect fit. Flawless.

This performance is so good it deserves a studio version.

Wooooooooow.. Worlds biggest goosebumps... I knew Dave had a powerful voice, but I'd never know he could "sink" this low.... Fantastic!!!!!!!!!!

Just fell more in love with Dave Gahan. Love this cover, it's perfect.

Omg just close ur eyes for a second. It's Ian singing. Holy shit I hate covers. So glad I checked this post out. I love it!! Made me smile. Feel like I'm 15 again.

Very respectable (and respectful) cover.

How have I never heard this before?! I love Depeche Mode and Joy Division and this song is one of my forever favourites. What a fantastic cover version by Dave Gahan! :-)

Best Joy Division cover ever. Love Dave's voice

Perfect voice for this song

I can't stop watching this video !!! Dave on stage again ... and ... performing such a wonderful song !!!! ...Love .. Love will tear us apart !!!! ... But, couldn't live without it

I've heard many cover versions of Love Will Tear Us Apart, and I always feel it's a song best left avoided, as nobody will come close to the original. However well a band can reproduce the music, to reproduce the depth and emotion of Ian's vocal performance seems nigh on impossible. So I have to give enormous kudos to Dave Gahan, he came closer to nailing it than anyone else I've heard. He even threw in a bit of the Ian Curtis arm movements. Definitely the best cover version that I've heard.

This is the best cover version i ever heard.

Dave you legend!!!!! One of the best covers ever!!!!

I actually shed-a-tear watching this, not only because it was so well-done, but because it reminded me so much of Ian Curtis, aside from the dancing. I really miss Mr. Ian Curtis, as I know so many others do, especially when some of Joy Division's best and most meaningful songs are played.

This song suits his voice so well!! He has one of the best voices I've heard for this song. Most singers cant handle the low register.

Absolutely LOVE this!!!Especially the crowds reaction. They sound like they ALL realise how LUCKY they are to witness something TRULY SPECIAL!!!

"No way!!!" I wish they recorded a studio version of this....best cover yet (nouvelle vague is a close second). YES WAY, DUDE

Dave G really nailed the emotion of the original with his voice. The voice is the soul of the song...

Holy crap! That was fantastic! Love Will Tear Us Apart is one of my all time favorite songs and it is generally not well covered. I think the fact that Dave Gahan seems to really love this song means he was working extra hard to do it justice. He also has the same kind of tone that Ian had. I love Depeche Mode for doing this.

There have been so many covers of this track over the years, but Dave Gahan picking it up just seems right. Dont know why, just feels "correct" if you know what i mean.

Absolutely timeless and incredible song. It's a fucking poem.

This cover brought me to tears. Only Dave could have done it this respectfully and beautifully. No way! Is so accurate.

Dave Gahan's vox channels the soul of Ian!

Dave you’re the greatest and your voice surely a gift from high up in heaven. You are such a joy to hear with that 💎 voice😘😘😘😘😘😘😘😘😘😘😘

Yes! In memory of Ian Curtis

amazing, his voice and the energy of his song, just pure bliss

Awesome cover by Dave , long live Ian, and joy division!!

What a tribute, go Dave :) sounds so good.

God, this is priceless.

I'm fan of both DM and Joy Division and this is just pure perfection!!!

Depeche Mode doing Joy Division. What could be more perfect? Love both bands.

0:37 a long time i didn,t hear the audience so crazy¡ Remind me Elvis and Beatles concert! Great job Dave! Unbelievable!

Awesome job Dave, would love to have seen this live at one of their concerts. That would have been a once in a lifetime opportunity as this is one of my favorite JD songs.

If anyone is going to ian justice it is dave

Awesome cover version. Gahan has the right vocal tone for this song.

Good shit man I'm cryin

OMG his voice is so deep, strong and beautiful! love it!

His voice fits so perfectly

respect, top cover, ian would have been proud

His voice is so suited to this...perfect!

I remember Dave doing this cover when I saw his solo concert. The first and only time I started crying at a concert. It still brings me to tears to hear it again.

DAVE GAHAN RULES!!!

Respect to Dave Gahan singing one of the best Joy division songs ever made!!!

oh wow!! NEVER KNEW THEY DID THIS!!!! LOL

Truly, this is a love song and beautifully repeated by Dave Gahan. One of my favorites through the decades.

Great group paying tribute to a fantastic group RIP Ian 😎😎😎😎

Man, this IS GREAT!

so much feeling in his voice...he is absolutely the greatest!

How have I only found this now?!?! Noooooo!!! Too may years of missed enjoyment.. damn it!

Simply outstanding!

This is Epic. They should record and distribute this sing.

absolutely flawless, probably the best cover of this song ever :') his voice is destined for it and his vocals are on point. i love both bands and he did this complete justice. it would be amazing to have a proper studio version of this

No way!!! Wow that’s amazing Dave sang love will tear us apart!!!!

What a great!! cover of one of the best songs ever made. This is the first time I heard this version. Depeche Mode has made Ian very proud. I love both bands and too have Dave sing this wonderful tune, well............ it's magic. Thank-you for this post.

I had been keeping on coming here since my hight school apreciation for JD and greatfulness for the timeless song. It saved my vulnerable youth. Now I'm coming back here cause of a recently started passion for Depeche Mode \ Gahan's solo career.

They should really make this into a studiosession

Been trawling through the various versions of this song on KZfaq, and this has to be the best cover on here. Think the guy at 20 secs that says "no way" just about sums it up... really, really didn't expect his vocal to be so good. Just superb!

a voz desse homi e ouro cantado de tão poderosa forte e luxuosa!

dave gahan is the king of the universe

best song ... best voice ... FUCKING AWESOME OF ALL TIME !!!

wooaaa... diese Stimme... Danke, dass ich seit fast 30 Jahren Fan sein darf!! Ihr seid die BESTEN !!!!

I can't imagine my life without ROCK!!! Thank you so much rock-stars!!! 😍😍😍

Never thought I'd see the day when Depeche Mode covered Love Will Tear Us Apart, but here it is. And it ain't bad.

Es una canción hermosa y es hermoso que Depeche mode la haya cantado .

Depeche Mode honoring Joy Division... Thank you!

Two of my favourite performances together!

Nice! Fan of both groups. Awesome cover.

This really is something else 😊

Love this song and Gahan

I am so in love with this cover. Dave is just incredible

A defining moment in music.

wow i want this as a studio version.

Dave rules!! Amazing song, amazing voice.

I didn't expect this to be much, but it's great. And he's thinking to himself "look at me, pulling it off!"

Não ha palavras... a emoção de ouvir a melhor musica do mundo pela melhor voz do mundo!

Si alguien podía hacer este cover era Dave sin duda...

This cover is so amazing, it blows me away every time I hear it.

Pure emotion caught on camera. Brilliance in action. Magic in sound.

Amazing cover by Dave 👍

Amazing🙏thank you Dave!!!!!!!!

Aaaaaahhh🥰! That was so satisfying🤗. Dave captured the spirit of that song so freakin perfectly! I'm blown away😌

This is awesome! I could've died right there.

YES WAY, DUDE

He never seizes to amaze me. Great cover

Omg!!! I am such a Joy Divison fan. I thought nobody could remake this song. Dave Gahan has the voice.

Great cover, he almost has the Ian shuffle down too :))
