Joy Division & New Order‘s joint induction into the Rock & Roll Hall Of Fame last night, November 14th, in Los Angeles, CA saw some notable metal icons involved. Trent Reznor, the original architect behind fellow Rock & Roll Hall Of Famers Nine Inch Nails, inducted both of those new wave icons into the hall. Joy Division‘s surviving members of course went on form New Order in the wake of their frontman Ian Curtis‘ suicide.
While some may have suspected that alternative metal icons Deftones‘ appearance on the red carpet for the induction ceremony would be related to Sade, given their past cover of “No Ordinary Love” and noted admiration for her music, instead, the Californian natives turned up onstage for a cover of Joy Division‘s “Love Will Tear Us Apart” and New Order‘s “Bizarre Love Triangle“. That performance saw them joined by Lauren Mayberry of CHVRCHES and Peter Hook, himself a veteran of Joy Division and New Order.
Tonight’s induction ceremony is set to air on ABC on December 08th, with its streaming debut scheduled to follow Disney+ and Hulu a day later on December 09th.
