interview the cure 1987 enfants du rock

[missjazzynotes]

When simon and Paul ( Paul ? ) start to laugh I started to laugh lol

[mrpicky510]

Holy shit these guys are wasted, look at simon ripping that glass of wine

[ReeNaissance]

oh my god isn't Simon Gallup the cutest guy ever? Oh he's just so perfect oh god I can't even describe how I feel in words oh god, oh god. He's just so perfect

[chaotica2410]

didnt lol ket kicked out in 87

[Krzwl]

@ 1:18 --

Tolhurst, you bleeding besotted, bloody blue-butted baboon, you!

(How did you ever get over and get back in, old geezer?)

[SeriouslyRandom20]

Simons Laugh :D

[glopglop49]

AHAHAH l'éternelle critique envers les U2 est entièrement générée par la jalousie de tous ces groupes qui rêveraient d'avoir autant de succès. La réalité est qu'aucune formation ne possède ce mélange unique musique rock / voix de crooner qui fait que U2 est et demeurera un des plus grands rock' n roll band de toute l'histoire . The Cure est juste un bon groupe anglais. C'est déjà pas mal.

[JustLikeCockatoos]

Robert is most certainly the most gorgeous man !! Love him when he is angry!! LOVE HIM!!! Damn !! He is HOT!! :) ♥

[Partizanton]

Putain ça fait vraiment style "les inconnus:Isabelle a les yeux bleus"!Tout le monde disait qu'ils se foutaient de la gueule d'Indochine ou de Partenaire Particulier mais en fit c'es tout à fait Cure! lol

[wedgetv31]

i'm french i have already seen theCure , U2 , The Rolling stone LOVE this band

thank my brother from england and USA thank for this beautiful language

English is a West Germanic language that arose in the Anglo-Saxon kingdoms of England and spread into what was to become south-east Scotland under the influence of the Anglian medieval kingdom of Northumbria.

 ROCK are from English language. EVERYBODY CAN ROCK because we are flying on the same planet :EARTH ] - PEACE + [ brother you are

[akira543]

What could he understand from Boris's lap? :/ LOL random...must of been abit sloshed like cutie pie Simon with his lovely laughing.

[tabbythenut]

simon's laugh is epic

[theartist59]

LOOOOL non pas du tout U2 ne me passionne pas plus que ca... Je suis fan de Jimi Hendrix et de Prince .Je connais tout les albums de The Cure de Three imaginary boys a wild mood swing ; donc quand je lache ce genre de commentaire c'est en toute connaissance de cause .Maintenant je trouve que la musique de R.Smith a du style ;mais à mes yeux Robert Smith n'est pas assez fin musicien pour pouvoir critiquer U2 ou la scene rock qui etait encore bien en 1987 .voila sans rancunes Docprocto.Peace

[docprocto]

@theartist59

Non bien sûr, je ne suis pas fâché, bien au contraire.

Mais dans le contexte de l'époque (fin années 80) U2 avait des fans totalement différents de ceux des Cure, moins péteux. Ce qui explique la remarque de Robert. Qui ne voulait pas être associé à ce type de groupe

[CrimsonKorbak]

@theartist59 Robert Smith est bien plus fin musicien que Bonos, il jou juste des chose trés différentes, et c'est ca le Rock (comme dit John Lennon).

The Cure à de vraie textes a donner qui plus est, et pour moi personne ne surpasse Robert, c'est un génie.

[theartist59]

Apprends deja à jouer sur plusieurs cordes avant de critiquer U2.... C'est sur les cure il faut pas les prendres au serieux il n'y a qu'a regarder une partition;;;

[docprocto]

@theartist59

Tu viens de découvrir les tablatures d'après ce que je vois !?

félicitations

U2 ta donné la vocation de la gratte ? C'est déjà çà !!!!

Tu serais bien étonné des modes que Robert Smith utilise pour ses solos...(phrygien, éloien, mixolydien, ... et j'en passe)

très peu d'effets finalement, mais une écriture inimitable .

il a composé "PORNOGRAPHY" de A à Z (batterie, basse, guitare et voix) un chef-d'oeuvre!

écoute-le et tu reverras ton jugement.Ne juge pas trop vite !

[fripouylle]

@theartist59 mais lui il a innove

[docfraktal]

Now Smith looks like Elvis at the end of his life

[ThePimble]

undoubtedly Geniuses of the world sitting right there!!!

[pipperoooo]

Well now. It's a veritable sex fest in the comments for this clip isn't it. Yes Robert is pretty. I think he should do audio books when he retires. What do you all think?

[friendofidiocy]

@pipperoooo Your comment made me giggle, so thank you for that :)

And yes I do think Robert should read audio books. I'd like to hear him doing "We're Going On A Bear Hunt"

[hypemike]

haha man I love Robert about 100000 times more now that I know he doesn't like U2...U2 sucks so bad.

[darkforest121]

Here I am lusting after Robert again!! :)) The man just oozes sex appeal!! He is soooo hot indeed!! His eyes and his smile are just entrancing but that glare just gets me everytime!!! Damn!!! ......... :))

[guyfromnewcastle]

the tension between lol and robert there is interesting, as we all know how it turned out between the two....

[darkforest121]

I do so love Robert's voice!! So sexy indeed!! But I just love when he gives that glare, wow, what a glare! He could totally give me that glare any day!! :)) Robert is so handsome indeed!! The Cure is such an awesome and amazing band!! They have truly stood the test of time. The sound of their music and Robert's unique voice just blends together so perfectly. Amazing!! Rock on forever Cure!!

[morganys]

Concert au théâtre antique d'Orange et l'entretien est fait pour une emission télé qui s'appelait "Les enfants du Rock".

Et oui mes petits amis anglophone, la France avait la gniak à cette époque.

Bon courage pour traduire mon commentaire.

Cette fois-ci c'est vous qui êtes dans la merde...LOL...

[83Brokenwings]

I love Robert's voice it's lovely he is well spoken indeed!

[ACureIsLove]

They are cute <33 Especially Robert and Boris :)

[juniebird72]

And to comment on his "death glare". OMG! He has the sexiest death glare ever! He could give me that death glare any day as long as some hot sex from him came after it! :)) Lol ! Love you Robert!

[juniebird72]

I just love Robert in this interview. Not only is he absolutely gorgeous but quite witty as well. I just love his smile in this interview. What i love as well is that it seems to me as if he is himself here . i have loved Robert and the cure for 24 years now and not a day has gone by that i dont think Robert is absolutely gorgeous! But he is just sooo hot here,absolutely. I love you Robert!

[Mstar82]

can anyone still explain me please what actually happened there between Lol an Robert?

was Robert angry at him and hated him there or was this more or less a good relationship?

[jupitersjuju]

@Mstar82 Lol was kicked out during Disintegration era because of his drinking problem but they're friends now and I think they keep in touch.

[Mstar82]

ya I know but in this interview.. did Robert hate him back then too.. I remember reading that one song from that Kiss Me album is about Lol, how he is just a 'plague' to them

and so I wonder if you can bring that together with that what happens at 1:19

[bloodflowers413]

I think that may be part of it, but Lol was falling asleep, and Robert reacted. Whether or not it was serious or teasing, I'm not sure. Lol was already a little excluded then--like in the Just Like Heaven video-- you barely see him at all standing at another keyboard like Roger, who's not in this interview.

[nofx29600]

It was Bori Williams the drummer

[noisyrag]

They should bring Lol back to play keyboards, because Roger's obviously not comming back to them.

[Birdmadcuregirl]

Both won't I'm sure. Maybe Perry, though he's not the best keyboard player.

[Brynnieboo2]

lmao @ his "no it didn't"

ahaa, (: he's so cute.

[Anamika1310]

nice video

[catlover1001]

Hah, Robert is my hero. :D

[thecurearethebest]

robert has the best death stair ever

i love him so cute :D

[Mstar82]

I am not english so I don't know if I can interpret this interview that well.

But did they hate Lol (for drinking too much) back then too? He was kicked out 2 years later though due to his alcohol abuse.

[longsexylegs]

I LOVE this!

Robert is the one you want to make love to, but Simon is the one to have a really wild night with!

[takerele]

this has to be one of my most favorite interview clips!!! I love how Simon just laughs so freely.....love it love it!!!

[tacocat13]

1:17 is so funny!! luv it!!! robert is so amazing hehehe xD

[magickimchi]

I saw it on TV in 1987. Gallup really likes vodka ! Love them !

[ndreaftw1989]

Aha. I love Robert's "No it didn't"

and his death glare x)

and Simon's obnoxious laughing

lol

[AbbieIsALoveCat]

and, OH my gosh. i would not want robert mad at me. 1:17, mega death glare....

[AbbieIsALoveCat]

:49 - :50 are the best.

[bloodflowers413]

Hilarious! Simon is great. What did Lol do that made Robert tell him ti "nestle down?"

[HomoGoldfish]

He was dozing off

[Samthetreasurehunter]

Aw man Robert Smith was the sexiest man in the 80's[course I was not alive then]

[LucyStar7]

yeah sucks doesn't it ?? all the great concerts i could have gone to....

[marqujud]

now i get their personalities in some of their videos like Let's go to Bed and lovecats. at first i was confused why from such honest emotional songs these guys were so cooky in the videos.

im reading an old bio of them, and during the faith tour, after the show they be the funnest drunkest band back stage.

[Mi55ery]

this is a awesome interview!

thanks for posting

[xxmisschocoholicxx]

the one sat right behind robert (i'm such a sad excuse of a The Cure fan, i dont know which one's which! apart from Robert!) is the one that laughs strangely (i wont say weirdly, cos my laugh is worse than that!)

[SpookiebolCurelover]

totaly left: Porl Thompson(guitar)

right next to porl: Simon Gallup(bass)

right next to simon is Robert Smith(the one awnsering the questions)(singer/ guitar/keyboard/songtextwriter­)

right next to robert is Boris Williams(drums)

right next to Boris is Laurens(Lol) Tolhurst.(drums/keyboard)

[DMCureluv94]

Lol that was awesome when Robert got all pissed at Boris. "No it didn't!"

[sundaegirl1965]

I had a HUGE crush on Robert in the 80s...I love his expressions when talking about U2. He has the sexiest bedroom eyes.

[fistofonan]

This is from an 80's concert film called the cure live at l'orange, which was very good.

[prancegoatprance]

Long live Jason Cooper!!!

[easycurego]

Simon's laughter... I cannot resist

[victoriandeadwoods]

Isn't it Porl's? :-? I can't tell which one of them is laughing, whether it is Simon or Porl's laughter, or both, at least I can't distinguish them, I'll try to be a bit more attentive.

[Derviiiche]

His bandmate's called Lol ? lol...

[technique88]

what did he comment about cocteau twins?

[ajittffcure]

"They are good."

[mikeemerylevesque]

simon looks wasted

[JasonCooperIsBADBAD]

Jason Cooper has no musical taste and is bad bad bad. His drumset sounds like garbage and has no personality. He cant come up with great drum patterns or drum intros as Andy or Boris Williams. THE CURE NEEDS A REAL DRUMMER!!!!!!!

THE CURE = Robert, Simon, Porl and BORIS

[robertsmithisapussy]

Don't forget Lol tolhurst.

[victoriandeadwoods]

Indeed, as much of a black sheep as he was, he still remains an important part of 'The Cure'.

[Hurliwirrk]

But what means "Do you wanna nestle down"??? I need my dictionary.....well, alright in german it means "Willst du dich behaglich niederlassen?" =) =) =) =) When Robert wears no make-up and has short "normal" hair, he looks a little bitlike a good friend of my Boyfriend. But Robert is more cute!!!!!!!!!!1

[SixGhost]

interresting...well shows how much Smith is the authority of the group...the others doesnt say that much & we all know what happened with Tolhurst...i guess u have to be firm with ure creativity to survive in the world of "sex drugs & rock n' roll" The Cure=Robert Smith

[pierrebarraud]

simon et porl sont bourrés de toute évidence (et les autres aussi)

[SathMag]

Crois-tu? Pourtant ce n'est pas dans leurs habitudes

[easycurego]

Robert can't afford to laugh outloud, he's trying to be very serious in this video and he luckily fails... Simon's laughter makes me smile anytime i watch this. xD

[goticaborderline]

hahahaha robert i love you¡¡¡

[ValeryCuriosa]

HaHaHaHaHaHa!!!It's hilarious.

"Do you wanna nestle down?"

Robert is so cute.I love him.

And Simon's laugh is so funny.

[alphafloor71]

After all I miss Lol when he was in the band... he made me also laugh !

[mzee1972owen]

Mr. Smith, you are one gorgeous man with your sharp white shirt, up-swept haircut, sweet smile, soft voice & coy mannerisms. And that's not even mentioning your musical talent & creative genius! My god, this is almost torturous to watch...such a loveable creature Smith is, today as much as back then...'Sighs'.

[pierrebarraud]

Robert aurait t'il bu ?

[alibaba109]

this is hilarious...can anyone work out what lol tolhurst says or does to annoy robert?

[lissheim]

Lol yawned, that's what ticked Robert off.

I'm wondering what Rob said to Porl, exactly...something about a duck impersonation???

[lovestruck78]

Look at Robert's face when he says "We didn't!" to Boris thrusting him...my dear God Jesus, how cute and fiendish at the same time he is!! I'm dead....

[victoriandeadwoods]

True!I couldn't have said it better!

[Felicitas1990]

robert looks so hot when he's looking angry =] OMG he's just so sexy i think he fucks emotional and hard :DDD He's good in bed, i bet =]

I wish i'd grown up in the 80's

[Hurliwirrk]

OOOOhhh yesssss!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[ATHRM4E]

ahhahahahahahahahahaah really funny

[elioth84]

the cocteau twins yeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeees robert smith you're my best friend

[xaxamayaiuffa]

robert is so cute

[lissheim]

Robert's got cuteness coming out of his ears! "Do you wanna nestle down?", God! How cute can you get? Cute's the word! :)

[tapehissfromthetrees]

I'm going to start using the word "cack" from now on...hahaha...I wonder, do British people still say that, or was it more of a dated, 80s expression? I hope they still say it; it's pretty awesome.

[Jakegothicsnake]

is cack a nicer alternative for $#it like crap is??

[mongoosemabel]

It's one of the few Cornish words (it's cornish for shit) that has ever made it into popular usage....

[icecreammandem]

yes

[lovethecuure]

omg haha.. look at roberts face before he says oh that's very nice isn't it... (: haha.. soo so funny. <33

[helmetel]

Why did Lol suddenly say "I understand"?

Simon laughing is hilarious - I think he may have had a bit too much to drink...

Good interview

[docprocto]

no, he say

Robert: nobody can we... heu

Lawrence: "...anderstand!"

like a sad man

[00Apocalyptica00]

Thats the right word! Robert makes me melt too <333

[luciousblackwell]

he makes me melt.

[Felicitas1990]

hrr i love that british accent

[IzzieVixxen]

simon's laugh!

[chrisedelic77]

There goes the poking at Lol.

[Raeantx]

man... i was only 2 years old in '87! i swear if i had been grown in the 80's, robert smith would have been my ideal IT boy. no lie!

[lywingoth]

That was beautiful :)

[mrsDM]

Merci beaucoup :)

[coolstuff2003ad]

pourqoi?

[amy2171987]

lol Robert is gorgeous.. though he looked like he even confused himself at the end.lol

[mzee1972owen]

Oh my goodness Robert Smith looks handsome here. I normally focus on his talent not his looks, but this is ridiculous - how loveable!

[hardcoreunderwear]

Robert looks so cute!!!

I love his lips....

Simon is so hot!!!

[FluffMachine]

Thats fucking awesome

[veritas1005]

robert hates U2! i agree with mr.smith

[LunaSeaSane]

Yea yea,

He hated Bowie as well and there he was live, on Maddison Square Garden fer all the world to see, doing "Quicksand" along with Daves.

[siamq]

He didn't hate David Bowie

[Heggum]

Bowie has and will always be one of Smiths main influences... so you are completely wrong...

[LunaSeaSane]

Guys, Robert did an interview on "Countdown" like, ages ago where he stated he didn't like David Bowie anyway... this was because at the time, Porl Thompson was being "stolen" from the Psychedelic Furs and Bowie happened to be a big fan. So the interviewer mentioned that to Robert and that was his reply.

[Heggum]

Well... he must have been really drunk... he wore a dress in his teens as a tribute to Bowies booklet for "The Man Who Sold The World"... he has ranked Bowie as one of his favourite guitarists (???) and "Seventeen Seconds" was directly influenced by Bowies album "Low"... and by the way.. Porl Thompson never played for Psychedelic Furs... it was Roger O'Donnel and Boris Williams...

Just to stick compeletely to the facts...

Best regards

Heggum

[LORDAVICHO]

thanks for the info

[LORDAVICHO]

i agree with you.......robert said that so many times

[LORDAVICHO]

great concert!!! great performance by robert

[jaanavaa]

i just love this.! do u wanna nestle down :DD

[coldbarefeet]

I love Simon's laugh. :D

[SaturnineGirl]

It's the best part of the interview. :)

[ajittffcure]

Yes, indeed!

[roxyepoxy1988]

oh god i watched that one part over and over again DO U WANNA NESTLE DOWN!!?! sooo funny

[CherryDropsMoi]

Do you wanna nestle down? Hahaha love this interview, funny stuff! :D Cute :)

[killersfan01]

why has robert got his wedding ring on, i thought he got married in 89, or was it 85 when he got married but still ive seen pictures of him in early 80s with his wedding ring on

[mbreeze101]

Yes, I've wondered that too! He seems to ALWAYS be wearing his wedding ring, but I read it was '89 too.

[blacksaturn]

Before that he was wearing what he called a 'commitment ring'. He also wore a 'commitment necklace'.

[killersfan01]

OOh i understand ok thanks, was wondering that for ages thank you

[xxkenixx]

he wore a wedding ring because mary bought him it, even though they weren't married ^.^

she's one hell of a lucky woman...

[blackfarit]

Simon seems too loose it lol

[Lemonille]

LOL,

Very funny!!!

[killersfan01]

i know that was funny, but what did lol do that made robert stop talkin and say 'oh thats very funny etc'?

[Lemonille]

He's yawning......

but I thing that Simon's laught is l.o.l.

OK? byebye Gabriella(do you know that you've an italian name?)
