I agree your not a rock star on how you look, anyone can dress up as such, you have to have the talent, I also agree britney, justin and miley are mostly pop not rock, and I myself am not fond of them. What happened to the true rock artists now days
I always see the godlike genius through that dark facade when I listen to Robert's songs. Huge respect for Robert the Genius King of Goth. Siouxsie is the Queen. Tim Burton is another Goth King. Batman is the Goth-am Knight XD
GENIUS,TALENT, NO BS, JUST WHO HE IS AND WHAT HE DOES.....THIS IS "KEEPIN IT REAL" THEY ARE WHO THEY ARE AND THEY DO WHAT THEY DO, NO SELL OUT...JUST REAL...SOMETHING THAT REALLY DOESN'T EXIST WITH ANY ARTISTS TODAY....THOSE WERE THE DAYS FOR SURE!
what all of you dont understand is that he doesnt really want all of this attention. he wants to play music, he wants to entertain...when the bullshit of hollywood starts to rear is ugly head you can tell he's irritated....(he rolls his eyes JUST WATCH HIM)
It's funny that some of you are so distracted by his makeup. See, children, this is an artist who is successful because of his talent, and not for bowing to your aesthetic tastes. He doesn't need to arrive at an award show in a plastic egg to get attention, nor does he need a huge production on stage to showcase really good songwriting. . Go take some Ritalin, and listen to real music.
@cfreyja23 Brilliantly said. Clearly you are a gen X'er with annoyance at the plastic pop rubbish of today? Funny "Go take some Ritalin, and listen to real music." great comment!
@cfreyja23 Leave the poor Justin Spears fans alone, they have a hard enough time figuring out how to tie their shoes. No need to confuse them even more with long words like aesthetic and distracted.
@cfreyja23 To go beyond your point hewas not looking for any award, nor was he impressed. He left pop, followed his own artistic path & was rewarded for being a master of his craft.
@cfreyja23 Bravo. I saw The Cure live in San Diego in the early 80's. The Head on The Door album. Awesome show. Robert Smith hasn't changed who he is or what he does for anyone or anything. A true artist.
The Miley Cyrus, Brittney Spears, & Justin Bieber types of the mainstream, music circus are just fodder in the meat grinder of pop culture. The masses eat it up like fast food. It fills them up for a while, but has no nutritional value whatsoever. Twitter has them hypnotized. Slaves.
@debtshepherd the cure are a great rock band, but today rock stars as The Miley Cyrus, Brittney Spears, & Justin Bieber are doing their work, if you view without prejudice, they are doing good videos and creating the sound of the 2000s, justin and his soul-dance music or lady gaga and her electronic dance music and her interesting videos
@sevenlemon Miley Cyrus, Britney Spears, and Justin Bieber are rock stars because rock is a broad genre that includes the white rock and roll (punk, new wave, hard rock, heavy metal, etc) and the black rock and roll (soul, funk, disco, dance, etc)
This is the real meaning of rock music, it is part of the british and american culture,
the problem is what some non-american people distorted the real meaning of rock, inventing a subjetive and wrong meaning , they uses rock just for hard rock/metal
@boyxdance Those are NOT rock stars, they are pop stars, there is a difference. The thing is The Cure and post-punk/real punk has always stood out from the crowd which is what makes the band and genre all that appealing. Lady Gaga, Miley Cyrus and Justin Bieber do not stand out, the only thing that makes them "stand out" is somehow they have millions of fans. Lady Gaga has actually ripped off alot of artists for her "look"/"style" her dance music is just the same shit thats being force

the problem is what some non-american people distorted the real meaning of rock, inventing a subjetive and wrong meaning , they uses rock just for hard rock/metal
Pop music is just abbreviation of popular music,something general
@boyxdance Never knew Disintegration is drak wave but regardless I think it's one of the best albums of all time! =) The thing about todays pop music for me is just there's no statement, everything feels manufactured there's no D-I-Y feeling anymore, the whole "never give up" statement from Bieber has been done before, so has the "I was born this way be yourself" statement that Gaga shoves down peoples throat. Regardless of actual genre, I appreciate any kind of music that has a DIY ethic
@boyxdance i'm not saying they should be 100% unique because a high standard has being set but I'd prefer it if they could just ground something that says: "this is me, this is really me, fuck what the record company says about me." Although I can be biased as I've always had an untainted grudge for the more mainstream record companies.
@boyxdance forced down our throats, Justin Bieber and Miley Cyrus sound the same as well. Generic bullshit to get little girls to flock around them. Britney Spears was sort of unique in terms of she came in an era where pop music had become generic. The truth is real rock stars stand out they have their own statement, they have something they can back up, they don't rip off other artists and they say "fuck you" to the greedy record companies. Which is something these pop stars will nev
@boyxdance Infact that's what Robert Smith did, Disintegration was an album where he said "I don't fucking care if this album doesn't get 1 million sales, this is how I feel, this is how I will express myself" and now it's considered as The Cure's greatest album by many including myself.
@cfreyja23 brilliant comment but sadly it is now too late for our children, they have been brainwashed into liking what the big corporations want them to like. they have been told to think what the big corporations and the media want them to think.
i wish they would do a world tour or something, soon.
i'm from the states, and all i've heard is about them doing isle of wight this year.. and it sucks cause i'm only 14, and i wouldn't be able to go and see them. but if i was older, i would totally get my ass over there.
He said something at the end that stood out to me..most "artist" today do fill thier stage with excess, dancers, props etc...but true artists with real talent don't need all that distraction...they can entertain and thrill thier audience by just being on stage making music...so don't feel bad Robert and all other truely talented artists...your legends because of talent not because you had to distract your audience with crap on stage.
You can tell he's telling the truth, even after all these hits he's still not used to the awards and popularity. He also once stated that The Cure is the sort of band which fades in and out of popularity rather than just staying there.
I love The Cure, in fact I am wearing a The Cure t-shirt right now, i grew up listening to them, but he does look a little ridiculous at age 51 wearing all that makeup.
@JohnnyLovely2 No man, he is Robert Smith, he is The Cure! That is his persona, his style, his glamour, his essence. If he were to come out at 51 all serious and with no makeup, he wouldn't be Robert Smith.
@malcstag Your a fucking asshole Why are you even watching it? Besides it is Robert Smith you idiot! He can do whatever he want's and he still look's awsome and he will alway's remain the most beautiful person in the world alway's and forever even at fifty.Answer this'What will you look like ay fifty? I'm pretty sure you will never be more beautiful,and real and cool all at the same time as him!!!!!!!!!!! THAT IS JUST WHAT MAKE'S HIM WHO HE IS!
@Auricdeath I agree your second statement:) but , as a question to your friendly first: Is there still a need to class someone? for me he was definitely The One who tried to cancel / dissolve these difference, cause its not of any importance, female, male, anyone between, grown , child, both or altogether, feeling is unique..
@hibernationdreamer Howdy, well I wasn't meaning to class in the sense of dividing. I was just kidding. I like his look and what it stands for. I dress much similar to this and display my art in an adrogynous way.
That said; there's still, sadly, a fear of uttering certain words in our language. It's this PC generation. But I look back and I listen to songs like Rock'n'Roll Nigger, by Patti Smith - written to demystify that word and not be afraid of it, to bring people together in liberation.
@hibernationdreamer For some reason our society has lost it's sense of what art can do; break barriers, bring people together. I think it's lost it's sense of humour in many ways too. But it's not all bad and things will always change.
@Auricdeath Well that was a very obnoxious comment. He's obviously not a transvestite. If that's your idea of a 'joke' you've got an awful seance of humour.
@XenBuddhist Hahaha, everyone was calling him a sellout in the mid-eighties when The Cure stopped making dreary goth music and went towards a pop rock sound. But those people were morons and I'm glad they've been silenced. Wonderful human being.
@Flakatak76 he is! If you watch older interviews with him, he is so 'humble' (or possibly uncomfortable lol) that he hardly even looks at the interviewer or the camera! he still does it a little bit in this video :).
@LukeSambrooks1 He's half a century old for fuck's sake. I'd keep my fingers crossed if I were you that you look anywhere near that good when you hit his age.
The Cure got in my bones in 1982. Bloodflowers will be a part of my life forever. Robert, always remain true to yourself. Thanks for opening my eyes. No longer do I care what others think. True to myself. Love ya!
when you know you're not contributing anything positive to the discussion , then try to shut the fuck up before you smear your keyboard. trying to type words you dont have a clue about (acCuse etc)
i'm from holland, so my english isn't that good, but i'm sure that it's better
than your dutch, so fuck off nerd, because nobody gives a shit about nerds like
you who are whining about spelling. And if you don't like robert smith, then why dont' you just fuck of, and visit some gay porn sites, because it seems that you are more interested in gay shit, than in music.
He is very clear! he does what he likes, doesn't like interview or making albums to win awards, he a simple guy, with the best alternative a different group ever, i wonder he must hate X-Factor.
Thanks he still in the music industry and people still buy his albums, i love The Cure live
I love how he acts. Every time someone gets really famous, they think they've become God or something. He acts so modest and innocent. It makes me GLAD.
robert.. go back to the early you.. pre 1981. The Mod/Post Punk thing will be coming back. This hipster crap is souless. Your big hair/too much makeup and pale face is a short stint in music history. 1985 is over.
Man i can't believe how time flies. Robert is 51 now. Incredible! It seems like yesterday when it was 1985 and i was 15 hanging out at my friends on the beach listening to The Cure.
& after the dark , good times, even he thought it was hilarious. 'you've been a great inspiration' it's bullshit, he shouldve been awarded much earlier! why didn't they get the respect they should get earlier :I
I think it's good they didn't get awards, because then it fits the narrative of the tireless band that never gets the recognition they deserve but who continue suffering for their art, otherwise they'd just be that "normal" band that the corporate wankers love to give awards to. There's lots of bands like that.
Robert is so cute when he gets attention =]

The Cure got in my bones in 1982. Bloodflowers will be a part of my life forever. Robert, always remain true to yourself. Thanks for opening my eyes. No longer do I care what others think. True to myself. Love ya!

been listening to the cure for a long time, but never seen any interview with RS before. i knew
him only from albums and some music videos, and actually it baffled me when i found that he must be gay, not a shadow of a doubt about it,

i'm from holland, so my english isn't that good, but i'm sure that it's better
than your dutch, so fuck off nerd, because nobody gives a shit about nerds like
you who are whining about spelling. And if you don't like robert smith, then why dont' you just fuck of, and visit some gay porn sites, because it seems that you are more interested in gay shit, than in music.

He is very clear! he does what he likes, doesn't like interview or making albums to win awards, he a simple guy, with the best alternative a different group ever, i wonder he must hate X-Factor.
Thanks he still in the music industry and people still buy his albums, i love The Cure live
I can't wait to go to another concert.

I love how he acts. Every time someone gets really famous, they think they've become God or something. He acts so modest and innocent. It makes me GLAD.

robert.. go back to the early you.. pre 1981. The Mod/Post Punk thing will be coming back. This hipster crap is souless. Your big hair/too much makeup and pale face is a short stint in music history. 1985 is over.

what kind of bullshit is this
this is the first award they get
after an entire carreer
& after the dark , good times, even he thought it was hilarious. 'you've been a great inspiration' it's bullshit, he shouldve been awarded much earlier! why didn't they get the respect they should get earlier :I
simionTheOne 1 year ago 3
I think it's good they didn't get awards, because then it fits the narrative of the tireless band that never gets the recognition they deserve but who continue suffering for their art, otherwise they'd just be that "normal" band that the corporate wankers love to give awards to. There's lots of bands like that.
