The Cure - CARNAGE VISORS - 45 Seconds Clip !

[7OLGA7]

Thank you very much! I suppose the film on "Carnage visors" could be interesting even in image aspect.

[harisumw]

the red hot chili peppers song 'californication' i read about it on Wikipedia. thats how i came around this video.

[harisumw]

hey, the red hot chili peppers song was inspired from the music in this. no?

[easyjeje]

Wich RHCP song are you talking about ?

[worldsocialismdotorg]

Hello, I see you now.

[instigator008]

Carnage Visors sounds so very much like elements of Joy Division's music, especially parts of Closer.  I know that JD played on the same bill as The Cure in 1979/80. Their music must have had a profound effect on Robert.

[SansPretentionAucune]

carnage visors has nothing to do with JD...

[shanejacobus]

The single "Primary" is said to have been dedicated to Ian Curtis.

AWSOME!!!!!Thanks for the post

Heard this on the flipside of a rare US cassette version of the 'Faith' album I found in a record store I worked in '95. Such an atmospheric piece, always evokes the feeling of a foggy morning for me. Amazed to find a clip of it on here - The Wonder of You(tube)! 'Faith' has some amazing music on it too: All Cats Are Grey, The Holy Hour, the title track and most of all The Funeral Party. "A dream in a mist of grey" as Syd Barrett would say

[thecure13th]

wow

[Quilly1]

Setting aside the film itself and all the associated apocrypha; is anyone else like me in thinking that, in a certain sense, this soundtrack is the best thing The Cure ever did?

[fcontrerasm]

what would you do with disintegration?

[libertyale]

Yeh, it's pretty amazing. People don't talk about it much, but it's a great piece of music. It was made during what I consider The Cure's greatest period. I remember playing it on my car cassette player when me and my buddies drove into the city from the suburbs going out for the night. It was the perfect soundtrack. Did this ever get released digitally? - Andy

[FollowMyWay]

As a matter of fact, you can find it on CD on the deluxe edition rerelease of Faith that came out about 4 years ago. It sounds great.

[ionia23]

If you ever have the opportunity to meet Lol, take advantage of it.  He is extremely warm and approachable, he'll talk about any Cure history questions you want to ask, just be cool and leave out the rough stuff. Don't be a jerk and he'll tell you all kinds of cool stories. By the way, the pissing on Billy Idol's leg story IS true (confirmed with Lol, and later than night with Simon in Roger O'Donnell's hotel room).

[ionia23]

So yeah, a few bits of crap.  No 45 minute version, and Lol does still have a copy of the film. When asked he said, and I quote: "I understand why fans have been asking for it because it's been built up so much, but when you see it you will be disappointed. It was a very good idea, but a very awful film. I mean, if Robert ever does decide to put it out I hope he does it free of charge, I'd feel like people were getting ripped off otherwise."

[ionia23]

However, I DID take advantage of the opportunity to ask questions about the recording of Carnage Visors. The so-called 45 minute recording does not exist. However, he DID confirm that the 'second version' available on certain pressings of the "Faith" cassette 'does' exist. you can tell the difference because right before the actual song starts, you'll hear two very faint tones that sound like a detuned guitar. So all this stuff about a 45 minute version is baloney.

[mrpinkeyes80]

What do you mean by 'Yep I do' ? You do have a copy of the full version ?

[Arthounot]

yep, audio wise...

I even have a version of 45 min.

[Arthounot]

The film has since disappeared and only Lol Tolhurst, Robert Smith, and Simon Gallup own copies of it, though during a televised interview in the mid-1980s, the host of the program surprised the band by playing a clip of the film on a television that was on the set.

[mrpinkeyes80]

Tks a million for sharing that great film .. does anyone got the 27 min. version .... I would love to see that or buy a copy ... Feel free to drop me a line mrpinkeyes80

[Arthounot]

Yep i do

[ionia23]

I met Lol at Inland Invasion in 2003. Yes, Lol was at the show in the audience and watched the set up through "The Walk". He and I and my bassist sat at a table out in the VIP section and talked for a good hour or so (he also bummed most of my pack of smokes). I'll tell you, I was actually nervous meeting him. I mean, you've all heard the stories....I decided it would be best to leave the hard stuff out of the conversation (the lawsuit, disitengration etc)...

[mozaikmuziek]

Please please please Simon, release this wonderful film your brother made!

[OhNoAHyaena]

Whose head is that in the corner?

I have the complete audio to this song on a copy of the "Visions of Domino" bootleg.

[suve69]

[masner]

Wow! This brings back memories. I have a vivid memory of standing at the Whiskey in Los Angeles the first time I saw the Cure and watching this film as their opening act. It was an awesome evening and to this day one of the best concerts I have ever seen.

[bornagaindaemon]

That's a nice rare one. I have only heard 'Carnage Visors' but I have never seen one.

[asspolice3000]

Wow! great to finally see some of it, though it wasn't at all like I'd imagined it from descriptions. But thanks SO much! You should post the non-zoomed-in version just for comparison!

[easyjeje]

Thank you, I'll post the non-zoomed-in version very soon !

[RamothCure]

[davecarter]

[SleazyMartinez]

I saw this clip at some Cure fan club event a couple of years ago. I was a bit drunk and thought I'd imagined the whole thing - thanks for posting!

[wishfulthings]
