Just a random comment saying something...please don't say that certain bands "suck" or "are shit". When you insult someone's taste in music that can really hurt their feelings. Yes, this a sesame street comment but people need to realize how condescending they sound...it's just music. I'm sure if you guys went to the classical section you would see a lot of "music from the 20th century sux lolololol"
oh shut up and behave chastonbaird... music is just music, do not pigeon hole music, it's a crime..sounds like you read too many magazines... get your own way of thought going...

@mission762008 I didn´t lump them in with the Pop Stars, because I did not call them a pop band. Just said that this is the perfect pop song, the perfect combination of emotional singing, romantic lyrics and musical genious. This is what all the "pop" stars - as you call them - aspire to create - but fail miserable.
@chastonbaird what's cult? I don't know what genre you'd say the cure are, i mean they shifted so much in their career. They started post-punk, moved into gothier territory before becoming a synthy, pop band and then came... well, whatever you'd call disintegration and beyond. I'd say they're indefinable, that's part of the reason i love them so much.
Classic. One of music's truly most overlooked songs in terms of how sentimental a song can be. When Robert wrote it, he knew he had a masterpiece. Enjoy!
@LesserEidolon HAHAHAHAHA!!!!!! INDIE!?!?!?!?!?!? yeahh dood, when i listen to the cure the first bands i think of are the killers and the artic monkeys and the white stripes :P i mean comn wtf!?
AFI did not do justice to this song. Dino Jr did justice they took the song and gave it there soul. They showed the world what there frierndships hardships and loosely related yachts (lol) could co exist with the cures ideas and sounds. AFI just said "hey if you listen realy closly i may be robert smith." band slike pixies and the cure are originals they use soft undertones to get a message. These new gen. Xcore emo bands use god awfuls analogies......quiet frankly dont move to new emocore.
@HeyYourWrong I agree. Dinosaur Jr's version gave the song some good adrenaline without losing any intimacy of the song. Infact, I kind of like it better than the original and LOADs better than AFI. Davey Havok's voice is so breathy. He sounds like a pop diva...life if britney spears had a dick.
I been having this debate with a friend for a long time; did The Cure start what we now know as "emo" music? I don't think so. I think The Smiths and other earlier bands did. What do you guys think?
@poidog776 Not the Cure and not The Smiths, what you probably know as "emo" like AFI and the other fags on MTV are not really emo, emo is from the 80's I think.
I don't know why ppl relate the cure to emo, maybe his looks, but that was kinda normal during the 80's, only he got a darker look with the years, and the cure's song aren't depressive or sad, just a few, most of em are wtf or happy
@poidog776 : I love The Smiths. One of my favorite all time bands no doubt; but I'm sorry to tell you, The Cure came before The Smiths. The Smiths came on the scene around 1982 and The Cure had been around since 77' or 78.' Also, let's get rid of this silly debate. The way I see it, Emo seems to be an up in the air sort of genre. If what passes as Emo on the radio and MTV is any indication of what that music sounds like, I would never want The Smiths or Cure to be labeled as such.

@Queenjonrs AFI's version is shit. don't know where you heard that, but I'd guess that he was more pissed about an unauthorized cover than anything else.

Gah Jason!
Mistakes, mistakes.
Messed up the intro, and the whole song itself.
1/4 notes on hi-hats that are supposed to be closed, adding your little fills. Also, his china is too trashy to fit The Cure, he needs a calmer Avedis series, ditch the Oriental Trash!
Robert Smith and The Cure are like legends and deserve respect. However, Davey Havok's got an amazing voice and he does this song justice when AFI performs it. Props to both bands.
@jphoenixfan Totally agree with you there. Love both the Cure version and the AFI version of this song! By the way, the Goldfinger version is also quite good :).
@jphoenixfan It's amazing that Davey Havok can still sing at all, let alone as well as he does considering he ripped his vocal cords and had surgery. I guess all those years of screaming finally caught up with him. His vocal style has changed, but he definitely has talent.
@biagiotti2006 please, more respect with the legends, I don't know what "normal" for you is, really I don't mind, I think you're a creepy mind retarded who lives 4 centuries ago, this is Robert's look, and he became famous because of that, of course for his incredible talent too.. come on man, be more respectful!! Fuck you!!!
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
You know what I think "normal" is? I think normal is not putting on lipstick and trying to act like you are 20 yrs old still when you're in fact 50-something. Like I said he looks like a transvestite, it's worse than Marilyn Manson at this point since this guy is going to be a senior citizen still.
Why don't you go masturbate to pictures of Robert's look since you took personal insult to a comment I made about another person, you faggot.
You know what I think "normal" is? Stereotypical herd-like behavior which robs people of creativity and individualism. I find it odd when people get defensive in reaction to someone who is different than what they consider normal. I simply can't wrap my mind around the mindset needed to have that kind of reaction. I suppose the only way I can relate is when I get a weird feeling around people who are retarded, or otherwise mentally or physically disabled. I know it's wrong, but I can't help it.
filfhty666 didn't comment on his look. he didn't say whether they liked it or not. All they said was that his look made him famous and that you should respect him. After all, he is a legend.
I'm sure your brain won't let you comprehend that.
Agree completely. Normal doesn't exist. It's all in perspective. This is a part of his act, and it's who he is. Why shouldn't he be able to be himself just because his age?
On a bit of a negative note(Sorreh!), I'm not pleased with his voice, but it happens, people grow older, so nothing you can do. Great they're still rocking out though.
I never ever thought that Smith's voice was actually that great. But it was his and it 's original and I always liked it. Still like it. What I marvel about Smith is his lyrics. Just read his lyrics without the music. It stands on its own.
@biagiotti2006...It's not like Robert Smith wears make-up 24/7. It's for show. Take for example...Alice Cooper, KIss. Ozzy and so on. They wear make-up for show, but not when they're not performing. Same with Robert Smith.
I've been a Cure fan for over 20 years and always will be...and you're calling me an asshole because I stated the truth...and the obvious? Go fuck yourself, douchebag.
It's a fair point mtlnascarfan has made. I don't look as good as I did when I was in the crowd watching him in 78!! Still rather listen to a slightly fatter,slightly off key genius than this modern nigga shite you get on the radio today!!!! Eh? Wot????? The Cure rules!!!!!!!
You seem to forget one small detail...... Robert Smith wrote this fucking masterpiece! If AFI were so fucking good, why didn't they write it and let Robert sing it?? I'll tell you..... Cos Robert wrote it before that Davey faggot was even rolling round in his fathers tiny ballbag, that's why!! I bet Daveys father wished he'd had the snip when he saw what he'd produced! Fuckin sausage jockeys, the lot of them! WAKE UP DICKBRAIN!
his voice sucks like fucking shit afi did a way better performance davey sounded like a god compared to robert smith go watch it robert smiths in the audience with his mind fucking blown thinking "holy fuck how did they play this SO MUCH BETTER" he sings like shit he's off key and can't hold a note davey never missed a note in his performance so go fuck your moms cause afi is way better than the cure will ever be
I think the members of AFI would be better suited to mincing about on the stage of a gay fashion show. All that hair flicking and hip swaying. lol.
Check out the way the cure plays this song live. They are just casually playing the music. Check out AFI.Mincing about. Let us not forget who wrote this song. something AFI needs to remember. They had to cover this song cos all theirs are SHIT!!!!!!!!!!!!
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
lmfao. do you even realize what the point of a cover is? a cover is a "tip of the hat" to the artist of the song, usually an artist that inspired the band. Also, i highlit doubt that the band coreographs their own concerts. It is much more likely that their shows are coreographed by oh... i dont know... maybe a coreographer. anyway if you dont like them, dont comment about them
I wouldn't go so far as to say that he has a "beautiful" voice. Kind of whiny and annoying. But they do well. Unfortunately, they do not play as well as you are saying. lots of repetition. Ease up and start listening to other bands. You'll get the full picture then. You can't have a little crush on just one band.
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
really (i realize this comment will get thumbs down 12 dozen times) his voice is much nicer than, for example Smith's voice (the cure). Also in comparison to many bands they dont have a high reputation. Look at groups like for eample, the jonas brothers. Overhyped. No special talent. Regardless of how much you like them (afi) you cannot deny that they do have talent. (in my oppinion more than any other musical group) and btw i am not musicaly ignorant and have a very large musical Knowlege
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
im still going to disagree but i guess i have a very biased viewpoint considering how much i adore afi.
Note: my previous comment was EXACTLY 500 characters.. i had to remove two comma's so that the last word would fit. Either way, ill just say that they both are fabulous and leave it at that :)
You know what, fuck all of you who think that the Taking back sunday or AFI covers are better or just as good, they both suck ass. The Cure's version is the best, so go suck on that asswipes!
how can you say that another band who covered the song was better? Smith and the cure wrote the song there the ones who know how to play it. Even tho this isn't the original cure
Love this song, one of my faves! Its one of those songs that can always! make me smile when im down! Love it there the best!..Sat in starbucks today and they were playing constantly! :D was awsome xxx <3

@jphoenixfan It's amazing that Davey Havok can still sing at all, let alone as well as he does considering he ripped his vocal cords and had surgery. I guess all those years of screaming finally caught up with him. His vocal style has changed, but he definitely has talent.

yuck, this guy is getting way to old to be wearing make-up.
He's starting to look like a creepy old transvestite now. Lol damn just look normal man!

@biagiotti2006 please, more respect with the legends, I don't know what "normal" for you is, really I don't mind, I think you're a creepy mind retarded who lives 4 centuries ago, this is Robert's look, and he became famous because of that, of course for his incredible talent too.. come on man, be more respectful!! Fuck you!!!

You know what I think "normal" is? I think normal is not putting on lipstick and trying to act like you are 20 yrs old still when you're in fact 50-something. Like I said he looks like a transvestite, it's worse than Marilyn Manson at this point since this guy is going to be a senior citizen still.
Why don't you go masturbate to pictures of Robert's look since you took personal insult to a comment I made about another person, you faggot.

You know what I think "normal" is? Stereotypical herd-like behavior which robs people of creativity and individualism. I find it odd when people get defensive in reaction to someone who is different than what they consider normal. I simply can't wrap my mind around the mindset needed to have that kind of reaction. I suppose the only way I can relate is when I get a weird feeling around people who are retarded, or otherwise mentally or physically disabled. I know it's wrong, but I can't help it.

filfhty666 didn't comment on his look. he didn't say whether they liked it or not. All they said was that his look made him famous and that you should respect him. After all, he is a legend.
I'm sure your brain won't let you comprehend that.
lizetyo 2 years ago
Agree completely. Normal doesn't exist. It's all in perspective. This is a part of his act, and it's who he is. Why shouldn't he be able to be himself just because his age?
On a bit of a negative note(Sorreh!), I'm not pleased with his voice, but it happens, people grow older, so nothing you can do. Great they're still rocking out though.

I never ever thought that Smith's voice was actually that great. But it was his and it 's original and I always liked it. Still like it. What I marvel about Smith is his lyrics. Just read his lyrics without the music. It stands on its own.

@biagiotti2006...It's not like Robert Smith wears make-up 24/7. It's for show. Take for example...Alice Cooper, KIss. Ozzy and so on. They wear make-up for show, but not when they're not performing. Same with Robert Smith.

You fucking dumbass turd kicker!
You seem to forget one small detail...... Robert Smith wrote this fucking masterpiece! If AFI were so fucking good, why didn't they write it and let Robert sing it?? I'll tell you..... Cos Robert wrote it before that Davey faggot was even rolling round in his fathers tiny ballbag, that's why!! I bet Daveys father wished he'd had the snip when he saw what he'd produced! Fuckin sausage jockeys, the lot of them! WAKE UP DICKBRAIN!

you are a stupid idiot if you think the members of AFI are "wannabe rockers"
their vocalist has a beautifle voice. their guitarist can play like a god (as can their bassist and drummer)
what makes them wannabes? i am honestly curious to hear what bull you can come up with
conradskill 2 years ago
I think the members of AFI would be better suited to mincing about on the stage of a gay fashion show. All that hair flicking and hip swaying. lol.
Check out the way the cure plays this song live. They are just casually playing the music. Check out AFI.Mincing about. Let us not forget who wrote this song. something AFI needs to remember. They had to cover this song cos all theirs are SHIT!!!!!!!!!!!!
pongtubepete 2 years ago
This comment has received too many negative votes show
lmfao. do you even realize what the point of a cover is? a cover is a "tip of the hat" to the artist of the song, usually an artist that inspired the band. Also, i highlit doubt that the band coreographs their own concerts. It is much more likely that their shows are coreographed by oh... i dont know... maybe a coreographer. anyway if you dont like them, dont comment about them

I wouldn't go so far as to say that he has a "beautiful" voice. Kind of whiny and annoying. But they do well. Unfortunately, they do not play as well as you are saying. lots of repetition. Ease up and start listening to other bands. You'll get the full picture then. You can't have a little crush on just one band.

really (i realize this comment will get thumbs down 12 dozen times) his voice is much nicer than, for example Smith's voice (the cure). Also in comparison to many bands they dont have a high reputation. Look at groups like for eample, the jonas brothers. Overhyped. No special talent. Regardless of how much you like them (afi) you cannot deny that they do have talent. (in my oppinion more than any other musical group) and btw i am not musicaly ignorant and have a very large musical Knowlege
