1980-1982 WICKED FUCKERS THE CURE I miss that time of them Faith Seventeen Seconds Pornography all goodi wonder if robert ever Smoked Weed i mean id like to know they did do a show in amsterdam
robert wasn't arrogant at all!! he was serious about the three albums.. when they started they had signed a contract for five years, in which they had to produce an album per year. I admire Robert's sincerity
Robert ain't arrogant. he's shy, and sometimes shy people come across as arrogant. Peope used to think that of me when really it was pure bashfulness....
@83Brokenwings You know you are so right on what you said. He is shy and that does get mistaken for being arrogant. Robert was definitely rebellious in his early days but that was a good thing really. He wasn't someone's walking mat for sure. It is what made The Cure what it is today. A little rebellion goes a long way sometimes!! :))
You know i do not believe Robert was anymore arrogant or cockier than the rest of us were when we were that age. Its just being young. If you look at Robert smith 20 years later, he has lost that so called attitude and his dimeanor seems to be much more shy and there is no arrogance that i can see. it all comes with growing up. I've loved the cure, Robert and their music for 24 years now. They are the best, no comparison. I love you Robert forever!
I love how they just wanted to make music and don't think about getting mainstream and how fame isn't their first aim it's just about the music. I really appreciate that rebellious way they were especially back then (see: A Forest at Werchester, or the Desperate Journalist, or when they changed their instruments on TOTP cos they were forced to mime.
you are the Pink Floyd of the 80's sheet hahahahaha nice answer WE ARE THE The Cure of the 80's that is a classic words, what smart kid you were Rob, and what a Genius man you are now, love it
AAhAAAAAAA THE pussy is back and you stink more than ever....'the pink floyd of the 80's'.....dickfuck....I DONT THINK ITS 1980 ANYMORE..????.AT LEAST THE LAST TIME I CHECKED IT WASNT......BUT YET....you keep on coming back....go bother the Morrisey lovers......they like people like you.....
ok i wanna say i agree eroberts wicked and can be sarcastic to any stupid question i love THE CURE I LOVE U ROBER SIMON LOL U rule SEVENTEEN SECONDS Is one of my most fav CURE Records Wooo i love that u can put the cure on and just drink to it fucking DRINKING MUSIC WERE THE CURE OF THE 80S NOT PINK FLOYD Fuck FLOYD
If you think Robert is a pussy then why are you here to check it out..?? He has every reason to be arrogant when they ask stupid fuckin questions....they're still around now aren't they?? He is extremely intelligent and people can't take it when its dished back cuz they don't like to hear they way things really are...He's fuckin amazing--could listen to him talk for hours and hours and hours....The Cure~100%~all the way....now I can die happy~~ and by the way pussy...YOU SUCK~hate elsewhere :)
I wouldn't say arrogant.. I would say rebellish cos that is that what comes to my mind when I think of The Cure especially in 1979-1980 with for example mocking a journalist with their Grinding Halt/Desperate Journalist version or their TOTP performance
but anyways as I said this is great stuff and I sometimes wish that time would stand still they look so amazing in this vid, especially Simon.
My favourite 'time' of the Cure is actually from 1980-1982 afterwards it got more pop..
They are 20 here and rebelious and from the UK. Must be some bit of arrogant then. Its normal. Maybe teh interviewer must ask better questions and didnt let them drink beer before they had that interview :)
you could tell that Robert was/is always was the engine of The Cure, vision, creativity all that. Simon ahh simon, you were super nice when i met you, your bass sounds drip like honey goodness.hehehe
I don't agree with the "fuck pink floyd remark" robert says, but I certainly agree that there aint no hint of comparition between the two being totally different bands. I love both bands just as equal but of course back then the cure set their standards for something real and moody.
haha that was just great. Robert was basically insulting the journalists the whole interview. Especially when he said "we're gonna put out three new albums"
I think trying to categorize the cure is OK, even though they are quite different to Pink Floyd. I feel sorry for the journalist!!! Robert Smith's best guitar was back in 1980. Unfortunately I think I liked the beer to much, & is guitar playing has never been as good. In fact Robert Smith was rated as av ery good guitarist back in 1980, but today I don't think he will be remembered for it!!!
i was 13 in the 80's. and we thought the 80's sucked. we all said, "the 60's were cool" but looking back, it was pretty rad. skateboarding, mtv, new wave, hip hop and home computers were all the new shit back then. appreciate this decade, cause in 20 years, some 13 yr old kid is gonna tell you he wishes it was back then.
Robert still speaks in the same way as he did then (in 1980). I agree with Robert... "People who compare have a lack of imagination". I think 17 Seconds' had that atmosphere which perhaps made some people draw comparisons to Pink Floyd... but seriously The Cure were unique even then... they had their own way of doing things. Btw, both Simon and Robert seem drunk (or were acting drunk) in this video.
this is so true....unique in most ways...i dont think many people picked up on this..They just thought they were weirdo`s and depressing/I still think robert is the best songwriter the world has produced..on par with Lennon and McCartney.They were drunk on this...on the gig u can see beer on the amps too...Heineken mainly:)Thanks for posting a comment...long live the cure!
People don't understand my uniqueness...they stare at me whever I go and yell things like "fag!" at me...which is strange because there's nothing really gay about me.
haha! that was so good, love what robert said about people putting things into categories, when i started watching i thought robert would say anything because he seemed to be avoiding the camera ha! thanks for posting this
LOL, Robert and co. are a bit out of sorts and antagonistic in this one, aren't they? I love how the interviewer asks Robert why people are calling them "the Pink Floyd of the 80s", and he answers bitingly, "because they lack imagination". And seriously -- Pink Floyd?!? How did they ever draw THAT comparison? Ah, well. Thanks for the vid!
I think maybe because some of earlyl PF's tunes like 'careful with that axe, eugene' & 'set the controls', tend to be droning, and plenty of mystery, etc... also, if you listen to the cure's b-side 'splintered in her head', the drumbeat is almost the same as a part of PF's 'saucerful of secrets'.
Nice to hear from you again.Glad you liked the first video.My next ones will be a bit special too.I will be uploading the gig from 1980 18th july I think...in Apledoorn,amsterdam.Need someone to confirm this though.Quite good quality too..the set is well played,Rob at his best:)One of my fave clips...so watch this space!!
thank so much for adding this! I only had a really old grainy B/W VHS copy. Hell I would love all of those photos that were taken!!! thanks again. What will you add next?
