  • mmm its too much for me xD i like it but i prefer Original (:

  • great.!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • this is absolutely horrible in very f****g sense of the word the hole thing is vile rubbish i cannot even believe robert allowed this at all one of the most beautifully upbeat cure song's have been turned into the most dreadful i feel much despair right now what a f*****g waste really how could this happen at all robert must of lost his mind and conformed to much human decency to allow a rubbish band like this that has no talent at all to even have an attempt at this fantastic song what the f*

  • @averixo20011 Of course a cure fan would react that way :/ I love the cure, but calm the hell down. Move on.

  • @averixo20011 "Rubbish" or not, they don't need his approval to cover songs, nobody does.

  • @averixo20011 it's roberts smith's favorite cover of the song :)

  • I think every great band in history has covered this song lol

  • wish i could play that solo

  • beautiful thx to jay

  • J Mascis' solos can make me cry. NO ONE plays guitar solos as melodic and emotionally powerful as he does.

  • stevie ray vaughan.

  • David Gilmour..

  • Joe Satriani, Eric Johnson, Yngwie Malmsteen ...

  • @cronology

    Seriously? Satriani and Malmsteen are quite possibly some of the most boring songwriters to come out in the past 30 years. They can't write a decent fucking pop song or get the right hooks, so they just make up for it by playing the guitar really fucking fast. What a load of shit. Yngwie would probably kill to have J's songwriting talent if his head wasn't so far up his own ass.

  • Its like a beautiful EAR BLEEDING country version! What Cure fan could hate on D Jr?

  • both bands are good, dinosaur jr just does this song justice, i think it sounds better when its not british anyways

  • Robert Smith's personal favourite is the cover recorded by Dinosaur Jr, J Mascis explained, "We recorded it for a compilation album, but when we finished it we liked it so much we didn't want to give it to them." Smith said, "J. Mascis sent me a cassette, and it was so passionate. It was fantastic. I've never had such a visceral reaction to a cover version before or since", and even went so far as to say the cover has influenced how we play it live

  • thats your opinion..they are just doing their version

  • I thought the same when I first heard it 4 years ago. However it stuck with me and now I totally love it. J Mascus is a bona fide genius IMO.

  • haha...decades late, i'm finally seeing this. check the deep wound shirt on the puppet...classic.

  • haha awesome take on just like heaven

  • I'm not being rude either, but you spelled lightning and thief wrong :)

  • So? I made a mistake when making my account, I can't change it.

    And WHY does my comment have 5 thumbs down, I wasn't saying anything mean, just stating opinion.

  • Most likely cause Dinosaur Jr is usually beloved by indie hipsters/elitists who disagree with anyone would prefer a teen/mainstream friendly group such as AFI.

  • Ok, thanks I guess. Do you like AFI anyway? Just asking?

  • lol I did when I was a youngen, they introed me to hardcore punk back in the day.

  • Who's the girl in this video?

  • I have no idea why everyone is talking about them, however, Smashing Pumpkins are my favourite band.

  • Kidding? Mellon Collie was amazing. I loved 'em all the way... but pre - Adore was best.

    Anyways, I'm just getting into Dinosaur Jr, but I love all of their songs so far. Is anyone able to upload Knacked? I can't find it on here.

  • +1, I love Mellon Collie with a passion...anyways, I alos would like some reccomendations for Dinosaur Jr songs

  • Out There, Little Fury Things, Feel the Pain, Forget the Swan,(watch the live version from the Henty rollins show it's intense) Start Choppin', Freak Scene. Those are all really really good I think. But I'm pretty new to Dinosaur Jr. Myself.

  • any one think that sometimes j sounds like Wayne Coyne at times?

  • lmao J looks so funny in this

  • i can't stop laughing, its either amazing or strange either way awesome...

  • la oxtia, la mejor version ke e oido

  • The things that man can do with a guitar..

  • GOD! i miss the fucking ninties as well, just wish id heard this one when it was out

  • i love me some lou barlow.

    these guys are sweet live. i highly suggest. dont be offended if jay is mean to you. i think he is just that way. but lou all day.

    :)

    shweeet song.

  • Love it! Dino Jr covering the Cure... awesome

  • love this song

  • This is probably the best cover of The Cure...ever.

  • When I think of this video I think of The Flinstones, Captain Caveman and hippies.

  • captain cavement?

  • good cover

  • j.s voice is so cool it sounds like hes gonna

    pass out but still good no awesone =)

  • man, I FUCKING MISS THE 90'S!

  • i do too. to the point where all i want to do is bring the pop culture i loved so much.

  • Ohh GOd, Nirvana, Pearl Jam, The True Green Day, Weezer, Dinosaur JR. Temple Of the DOg ...

    The 90's Rules

  • dont forget Smashing Pumpkins, Stone Temple Pilots, and Sonic Youth

  • Pympkins before Mellon Collie = Gods

  • pumpkins before and during adore = super-gods

  • damn right man sonic youth are the shit i love em!

  • this track was released in 1989..

  • like the way he says "scream"

  • This is in my opinion one of the best cover songs I've heard. Don't get me wrong--I LOVE the original, and it's one of the greatest singles EVER, but Dinosaur Jr takes the song and forms it to THEIR style (and plus, it doesn't suck!). It's not a matter of which version is better, it's about what they did with the song. And I think they both did a fantastic job.

  • aaaaah...the best cover-ever! and the record is so funny...it has funny impressions on the back side.

    this year 08, i heard Cure in Vienna, and they played only guitars, no sinth-crap, and when they played just Like heaven i was like woooow now they are sounding just like Dinosaur Jr..souned like Cover of Dinosaur Jr cover. well, this was the music, these were the times..energy in the air..and then rock died.

  • The Cure !! :D

  • lol @ chorus. pretty good otherwise.

  • cool great song

    amazing sounds

  • C

    R

    A

    P

  • oh it was for blackgoesgray

  • I think J's voice fits the sound of the band perfectly. You don't have to sing good to sound good, you know.... Look at Jeff Mangum. it's all about soul and the mood you're trying to empahsize, and J's voice fits the slacker ethos perfectly.

  • You are gay, and you dont know nothing about music

  • And you, kriztianrules, are obviously stupid, using the word "gay" as an insult. Your sexuality does not affect your musical taste, and there is nothing wrong with being gay.

    I posted MY OWN opinion and if you don't agree, sure, that's fine. But there is no need to attack or harass me because of it. I'm not an expert when it comes to music, but I don't like this. Get over it.

  • i posted my own opinion about the sexuallity of you comment, there is nothing wrong with being gay, so why did you feel attacked?

  • I felt attacked because you told I don't know anything about music ;)

  • what a stupid comment,grow up.

  • J has one of those voices you either really like, or don't. Plus this is Dinosaur's version of coarse it won't sound just like the Cure.

  • Of course it won't. Nor did I expect it to. But a friend told me that this version was much better than the original. Oh well.

  • fuckin sweet rickenbacker bass

  • ssp renfrewshire

    doing that trick since 1998

    ssp renfrewshire

  • goddammit this is so good though crank it up loud and enjoy, i just wish i had realised how good dj was when i had the chance. still love the cure tooo though!

  • This an example where the cover actually influenced the original song. Robert Smith stated that this version even affected how The Cure would later play the song live. Awesome bands, both of them.

  • In my opinion: (though it is not expert) I believe this is the best cover song...ever.

  • THANK YOU

  • Deep Wound shirt on the green muppet-thing=f*cking sweet!

  • yay J Mascis

  • this is one of the best songs of all time, the atmosphere is unbelievable, clearly surpasses the original too.

  • You recokon, what would you say was one of there best? I reckon the cures version was a really good song.

  • The original's really good though. I think I prefer the cover. But the original's great.

  • i reckin no one is better then DINOSAUR JR! they are my favorite

  • true

  • J Mascis' singing is perfect in it's own, "I-can't-sing-for-my-life-but-­I'm-going-to-anyway-in-the-spi­rit-of-DIY" kind of way. Dinosaur Jr rules.

  • Hell yeah, I know exactly what you mean. Some of my favorite vocalist aren't singers. Kurt Cobain, Marc Arm, and of course J. Great stuff!

  • meh this kinda sucks as a cover

  • None could ever forget that THE CURE do the original

  • shows how much you know dickhead.

  • its the cure who did it. if i remember correctly so people do remember it dickmunch

  • You are so wrong it's scary.

  • be patient, my dear friend, your ignorance may be blessed in the future by an oppresive system made of people who also don't remember who the cure are.

  • True, it is a common cover...but really? I mean did you really just say that? Come on now, that is beyond ridiculous.

  • shame on you

  • So fake

  • Do you know what Dinosaur Jr is?

  • sing bob dylans knocking on heavens door while listening and then you'll understand why its called just like heaven

  • just the way i like it

  • You know Robert Smith loved this version.

  • This song is awesome!! I actually prefer this one on the original....!

  • WHAT THE FUCK HAHA

  • both versions are great.

  • love these guys.have 4 years : )))) happy.....

  • if ur looking 4 the full dino norwegian wood concert from 12/06/2008 in have it ..click here + more not yet on you tube..subscribe and u'll know when i post more..enjoy!!

  • hahaha, muppet in a deep wound shirt

  • who the fuck are deep wound?

  • a band

  • it was the guitarist and bassist's old high school band

  • Thanks, and nice name ;)

  • they were in another band then started dinosaur jr.

  • I thought the story was the band wanted the name Dinosaur, but it was taken.

  • yeah your right :)

  • they got sued by a band called the Dinosaurs and were forced to change there name. Origional pressings of You're Living All Over Me and there first album Dinosaur don't have the 'jr'

  • dinosaur jr is my favourites band ever!and this is great song(cover)--they are awsome

  • Very few covers are better than the original, but this one is! PLEASE do not get upset because it is true! and the vidio, I am sure made ALL cure fans jealous!

  • i think this shit is tight, i love dino jr. and the cure. you guys need to live alittle covers so metal.

  • I wonder if they have a Jewish member? If they do you cannot be mad at this comment. If they don't then simply tell me they don't and i will come and apologize but usually when you can't explain the popularity of a movie star or band it has something to do with this..

  • i don't know why it posted that. it was supposed to be a reply to the kid who said the beatsteaks have the best cover.

  • hehe sorry, i didnt realise that there was a dino jr representative present, i wouldnt have said anything...

    forgett it yeah, not even worth arguing about...

    whats wrong wit th pumpkins anywayzzz?

  • i don't know dude. i must have been on my fuckin period or somethin. apologies everyone.

  • sounds a bit like 1979 by smashing pumpkins

  • Dude not cool. Don't even compare that shit to dino.

  • i wasnt comparing, dino didnt even write this...so you dont really make sense...

    hehe

  • i know this isn't originally done by dino. it's a song by the cure. who are awesome. i'm sayin don't compare an epic cover of an awesome song to the fuckin smashing pumpkins. weak dude.

  • What exactly is wrong with smashing pumpkins?

  • I know. I wasn't asking you, I was asking the person who had a problem with them. Who might have a problem with you too as he/she has spammed your comment

  • just listened to the cure??? They are wank,

    cheers for stealin' this an' makin' it good D Jnr, real singer!!!!!

  • been in love wit this song forever, didn't know it was a cover hahaha tis uckin icked man

  • whats wrong with it?

    its a grungy version of a great song

  • wow ke geniaaaal !

    tanto la kancion verdadera komo el cover

    i ke decir del video

    esta ....wow... increíble

    saludos !

  • Probably not the best cover of this song but the video is kinda funny cuz they have the puppets headbanging hahaha Really, made my day! XD

  • I like Dinosaur Jr., but I must admit i like the original much better.

  • can't decide whether i like this or the original better... but that guitar solo... amazing.

  • Robert = Bob

    Bobby Smith.

  • Videos a bit weird but the songs great!

  • This vid just re-kindled my fondness for sock puppets. I love them, and they love me back.

  • butthole surfers, I hear the Butthole Surfers from Texas. Thank God they rocked it up a little, nothing against bob smith but this is much better.

  • dude, it's robert smith. Not Bob.

  • Ya I know BadPudding, its Robert - you are right but Bob is spelled teh same backwards as it forward.

  • ****ing genius ...!

  • fuckkkkkingg lovoooooveeeee thisong

  • I do like Dinosaur Jr but The cure's video was better

  • I love Dinosaur JR, and I love this song, but I hate this cover.

  • Génial

  • The song kind of falls apart at 1:47. The yelling hurts my ears.

  • lol...i love the puppet rockin the deep wound merch

  • dinosaur jr own all bands.

  • I don't like the heavy metal bits. They're inconsistent. The jangly guitar makes me like it more than the original though.

  • there's something really sad about this song. it's just perfect.

  • weird ass video but cool

  • i die over and over to this song.... dinosaur jr > the cure (and i LIKE the cure)

  • Loved this for years, some great lazy soloing on there! Both this and the original are great songs by great bands, it's just a twist, a pleasant addition

  • I agree

  • I heard this version before I knew of the Cure as the original artists. I still prefer this version over the Cure. I love the Cure though.

  • really! it´s allways the same. the version you hera first you like most, even if it´s a cover. this version it´s okay but does´nt get even close to the cure original. but i did hear it first....

  • But do The Cure have puppets ?

  • Yaaaaaaaaaarrrrrgggggghhh! Freakin A man!!

  • im not saying the cure is bad, just not my cup of tea. really like this cover though

  • I thought there couldn't be better version than the original...until i heard this one

  • Sorry, totally disagree:) But I like this version also :)

  • i love the original, and this one almost equal. this one adds a pleasant twist to teh original
