I've never been a Joy Division guy but I must say, the older I get, the more I'm drawn to this song. It's always been there, I've always been aware of it, but with each passing year I listen to it more closely. - XMASTIME
How have I lived this far into the year 2023 as a U2 fan starting in 1984 without knowing that U2 happened to be in the studio when Joy Division was recording Love Will Tear Us Apart?!?!!?!?!
Bono was in the studio in Stockport on the very day that Joy Division were recording 'Love Will Tear Us Apart'. Hannett would go on to produce U2's second single, '11 O'Clock, Tick Tock', but it was a stressful affair for all and they opted for Steve Lillywhite when it came to production work on their debut album Boy, released later in 1980.
U2 would go on to play 'Love Will Tear Us Apart' throughout their live career - often including a snippet at the end of 'One'. Inhaler - fronted by Bono's son Eli Hewson - also made the song something of a live staple, years later.
