DELTAFOVERDELTAX you are a dropped-diff, bucket-ass, walking through your blizzard of bullshit, cocksucking, Kentucky Fried Chicken-eater.

DELTAFOVERDELTAX, none of your YouTube comments are positive. Have you got some issues? Join the fucking club! I recommend you try saying something positive for once ... or drop dead ... either is fine.
me too dude,,,ALso CUre fans are different people ..you can't compare them with the crowd....Because Robert Smith's lyrics are just so deeply special!!!
And Miki Gonzales stole his music off of the Ska bands from Jamaica. But whose really crying because this is how music is born. One artist is inspired by another, and so on, and so on. This is what makes men know that they are God like. It's the same insturments for centuries, but it still keeps growing and every changing. Why? Because each one has thier on spin on what the see and hear. The Cure are a great band, like it or not. If they were not then you wouldn't have made a post on this page.
Whenever I think of any great bass, I get this picture in my head of a dood playing some enormous electric bass, about the size of a double bass, but worn like a guitar, and it has enormous loose strings the size of rope!
dammmm this song sooo hits the spot when you have had a few of anything lol , i brought there LPs Forest & Fath on special in a bin for only $1.79 each back in 1980 somthing in New Zealand , i still have them in perfect condition , but dont have a turn table to play them on as yet
Is it true that Robert wrote this as a tribute to Ian Curtis shortly after his death? This song is responsible for getting me hooked on them. . . Love it.
I checked, yeah my memory failed me a bit. Here, according to Wikipedia: "Primary" was first played during the Seventeen Seconds tour under the name "Cold Colours" with completely different lyrics (aside from the chorus) and a slightly different bassline; interestingly, the song would often be introduced as dedicated to Ian Curtis. Towards the end of the year, the song was renamed "Primary".
This is one of my favorite songs; ever. Personally, I think this should have much more than the number of views it has. But hey, you can't always get what you want (ahaahahhaha) when many people now are into (this is only my opinion) not the best music.
He often did, though not always. But what I had in mind was the carrying of the melody by the bass, which is very Hookish (or Millsish, for that matter).
I see two black fender 4 string bass' All I read is fender vi 6 string bass... and Simon on music mann? What did they use on this track? I hear two bass'.
for some reason ever since i started listenin to the cure i have not stoped listening to the cure and its not like 10 songs a day because what i meen is i listen to them at least 10 hours a day they are the best thing that ever happened to music
.. i was 17!!.... and still seventeen! yayy!. haha:D yew have to admit, I have great taste in music ;) not like most ignorant teenagers.... who like jonas bros..
Oh my god! He looks like a baby! When did we all get old? Today I found out my body is doing more "HA HA! You're not 20 anymore!" crap to me, and I haven't even hit 40 yet! Where the hell did the time go, and how do we get it back? Where's a DeLorean when you need one???
Saw them at San Diego State University during The Head on the Door tour when they were in the decline. They wer great in the beginning and middle and managed to knock out a couple good songs at the end also....
AHHHHHHHHHH how young we all looked circa 1981,, this always got me out on the dance floors of NYC ( and it probably would these days also) great classic new wave
it isn't exactly a tribute to ian curtis. it wasn't written for him but robert smith made it a point to dedicate it to ian during live performances. a beautiful gesture from one beautiful artist to another
I agree. I wasn't even born when the Cure started out. Yet their music does not sound dated at all. Their sound is as relevant today as when it was released.
Hair. Eyes. Lips. Whole body. Accent. Song. AMAZING! Gorgeous Robert. Those little girls in the video probably don't know how lucky they are! . . .To wish impossible things . . .
What is the problem with YouTube's response time these days?!! The download speed on some videos is fast, but often it really, really SUCKS, and I'm noticing it more often.
on Jay Leno Dec.11th -Perfect Boy.Then the Cure performed on Jimmy Kimmel Dec.16"Freak Show".Robert & Porl are the only origianls
when they formed in 1976.Porl left in 1979 & played with a couple bands then came back.He left again 1992-95.Porl Thompson toure with Page & Plant in 1995.A lot of people don't realize how respected & great guitarist Porl is.The Cure music hilds Porl back some.
