The Cure - Freak Show (Live 2008)

[darkaddict18]

Awesome Song from an Awesome band. I don't give a flying F*** that he gained some weight. The guy is in his 50's now age will catch up to him and everyone else eventually. I have seen this band dozens of time they know how to put a good show. His weight gain does not make the songs he sings anything less than Great. He is a moody person not that no one does not know that by now but he does have his highs and lows. I could careless about image I am there to here good music. I am moody myself.

[huhtty]

its sounds awsome put damn learn the lyrics smitty hehe

[Necrypt]

Errr...Robert has put some pounds. Its a fact. Now, does this affect his MUSIC? NO, IT DOESNT, SO SHUT THE FUCK UP AND ENJOY

[claudioeyemou]

@Necrypt It does! because he looks tired, he's singing pretty bad and the music, come on, the last album was horrible

[Necrypt]

@claudioeyemou I love the last album xD

And he's never been a great singer, it just that the way he performs makes it look cool xD

[herico33]

The cure rocks!, does anybody knows the name of the song that Robert is in a house, and the house go slowly down? i miss so much that song! but can't remember the name!

[BesoinDeParty]

it's called "the end of the world"

[BillieGD71293]

maybe

close to me

or

the end of the world

[herico33]

thanks both, it's "the end of the world" ^_^

really thanks i couldnt remember the name of it!

[huhtty]

the end of the world

[Torneh]

Young or Old, Big or Small, I'd never kick him out on a cold night.

[theperfectnoah23]

stop saying those stupid things about robert! he is the best and you all know that.

robert i'll always love you! the cure rocks!

[djdannyenrique]

For a country that is 230+ years old, the United States has progressed exponentially in many areas which I will not get into.

Get over the hate for America and its citizens.

[djdannyenrique]

How about some education, respect, and elegance, please? Where are your manners?

Not all Americans are overweight. In fact, if you do a bit of research... you'll find out that obesity is a global problem.

If Robert Smith is happy with the way he is, fine! He has an amazing talent and a fabulous voice. Note that he is financially comfortable as a result of exploiting his gift.

[thunderbolt1972]

fucken awesome tune! so the fuck what if he put some pounds. you americans are the fattest country in the world!

[avasilato]

someone get bobby away from the crumpets

[creamypeaches3]

Bloody hell, it really is a freak show! Fat (genius) bastard!

[Hecate79]

Robert Smith are a genius!

[Olivia3078]

yeahhh!! is a freak show lol.

Robert are you terrific.

Always whit you mmm

[Industriajor]

god, the oblivion!!!

[114elmpark]

the cure are a fuckin greasy freakshow

[vikingninja72]

Robert... what happened to you...

[gizmo359c]

he turned 50...

[super7am]

has anyone else heard the 65daysofstatic remix of this?

fantastic.

[EmilieSagae]

Robert is a cutie, still after all these years. That performance really lacked energy though.

[dajzilla]

Man, Robert Smith has really let himself go huh?! Big ol' fatty now.

[SCOTTRULZS]

i no hes fuckin fat

[HappyTheMan696]

Hes more of just a big man

I saw him from front row

its not like he has a big beer belly or soemthing

[stew182]

Thats Not My Name

[scanner1978]

Estuve en ese concierto...vaya mierda de nuevos temas, lamentable. The cure debió haber desaparecido con el bloodflowers.

[LeonidasIII300]

The material in their new album isn't going to rival any of their past stuff...every band has an apex and decline.

[victoriangoth666]

I miss their old music... and what does Robert Smiths appearance have to do with his music?

[Listendudeok]

I feel ashamed for this song.

CRAP

[melammu]

I agree! This is like watching your parents play rock music. I feel ashamed as a Cure-fan

[ALG1804]

He should watch his weight some. He's getting up there in age now. It'd be a shame for him to have a heart attack

[brianmoon10]

i know...

Robert Smith HAS to live forever and ever and ever

never stop making the music forever and ever and ever

[DefLepLvr1]

Why do some of you have to make negative comments about Roberts physical appearance? After all he has given us(and continues to!)...He is such a wonderful talent. Don't be mean, disrespectful and hateful! Be GRATEFUL to him, for heavens sake!In other words, GROW UP.

[stroke128]

Oh robert you are so fat :(

but I'm still loving the cure

[takerele]

get your mouth in shape fuckers...ROBERT IS BETTER THAN EVER!!!!! THE CURE...ITS ONE BIG MAGICAL THING...SO WONDERFUL I COULD NEVER IMAGINE MY LIFE WITHOUT THEM AND THEIR MUSIC...A MAGICAL SPECIAL GIFT!!!!!

[acinomardnas]

Well I said that because, Robert looked better when he was on shape, beside I want listen his wonderful voice for many years to come.

[acinomardnas]

Bob get on shape please.

[heartFIEND]

that made me laugh.

[iamamy8]

¬¬

[modsleix6]

Give it up Bob. I love the band but, seriously, it's just a spent force now... Leave with SOME dignity and stop tarnishing The Cure's image.

[gugushigushi]

I think you might mistaken. He is Rob not Bob. You should listen old song if you like old The Cure.

[modsleix6]

I do listen to the old Cure. Your point? My point is pretty clear....

[gugushigushi]

So, you listen to the old Cure like you had been listening.

Don't focusing on you don't like recently Cure. It just waste time for you. You have to focus on old Cure.

This is my point.

[0ffred]

Bob is actually a common nickname for people named Robert.. and Robert Smith is, infact, often referred to as "Fat Bob".

[jprb25]

Robert.

Srsly.

DONT SING IT NEVER MORE.

In live it sucks xd, at least this time.

[harrysfunzone]

Dream 13 comes out September 13th 2008. I can't wait!

[MrXMGS]

delayed until october 13th u.u

[valhom]

I am seeing alot of bad reviews for their new songs that are going to be on their new album. I hope all is well.

[gigagemo]

sucks live.

[iv1492]

this songs are eps you know they are not actually new

[iamrta]

HECK YA!

[ellebelelly]

aaaah look at him dance!

[veramonver]

The cure es algo más que canciones tristes de sonidos lugubres y envolventes...es algo más que tres LP's... tiene su lado excentrico y divertido... esta es una demostración como otras tantas canciones...Friday I'm love, 13th, Mint Car, Carterpillar, etc...

[lynnoflyns]

I love it. It's fresh and fun. And it IS The Cure. They don't fit in a box, listen to their entire catalog and you'll see. They are incredibly diverse and that's why they still kick ass 25 years later. LOVE THE CURE!

[lullaby041207]

Creo que estamos perdiendo a Robert con este tipo de canciones, refiriendome a los que no soltamos su trilogia (como su servidora), pero en fin, a Robert y Compañia se le perdona todo con tal de que nos siga regalando su repertorio basico en los conciertos...

[lorne36]

I saw them in Toronto last month, and this was the only song from their 3 hour set that didn't go over well with the crowd.

[tilionmaiar2]

No es de las mas brillantes pero es tipo otras canciones "alegres" como Mint Car, Friday I'm love...

[nbckid88]

The Cure rocks, and Robert Smith is the shit.

[omgitsrob111]

I definately like The Only One better...this sounds like something a small band playing at a pub would play. But hey, I didnt like One Hundred Years at all when I first heard it. But after a few listens, that entire album became one of my top favorites, so we'll see what happens with this one

[veramonver]

Muy pegadiza...en la linea de la cara más popera y animosa que tiene The Cure.

[fivestringbass5]

Whoever says this is "not Cure-like" is clearly not familiar w/ the same old 25 yr old dicussion that follows the same line. From Pornography to "Let's Go to Bed" - hmm, that was 1983 when people said, "That's not Cure-like" Of course it's not like Pornography - but that's not all they do. They do pop - and have since the beginning (ever hear of a song called Boys Don't Cry?) Ever hear Why Can't I Be You, Hey You, Hot Hot Hot, Mint Car, etc etc.??

[spondylos]

I couldn't agree more!

[spondylos]

Hey, take it easy. It's a funky song and upbeat. In case you someone doesn't like it or thinks of it as "degrading" for the Cure, then take some time to think of things you've done. If someone thinks that a song or an album characterizes a band with such a long history (in case a few people don't like it) and is soo hard on it then probably he/she can do it better! So start a band of your own, and go for it! It's terribly easy and tempting to criticize! I love the Cure for what they stand for!

[vinnypiana]

this is pretty bad song in my view. very average by cure standards. all the lead guitar stuff.. not so great.. could be a song from your local pub band (maybe I'm too harsh..) just can't get into this song.

[Aniland]

ROFL. That little dance at 1:04.

[ignoranttwat]

shame he's gotten fat.

[Saboteur80]

I don't think it's a shame; his weight seems to have fluctuated throughout his career, he was for example quite heavy in the late 80s, only to lose weight before "Wish"... Seems like touring's a bitch if you're prone to gain weight easily. He's just in a "large phase" again... They called him "Fat Bob" back in the day...

[gaara2910]

yea, wtf happened to him! :S

now he looks more like a fat, overweight clown with diabeetus...

[andjaiek999]

I loooove this song, my favorite!!!

[howtheendalwaysis]

i like this song. its funky ! probably not the best cure song, but hey there is an awful lot worse out there from other artists. I thinks its a fun,funky tune. The b side "all kinds of stuff" is a great song !

[ruitster]

yeah, it's fantastic he takes his freedom to do whatever he likes, but it does'nt automaticly means thaht it,s good. I 'm used to hear flowers from his mouth, whatever he sings, but this song is realy making me nerves, i hope this is the only bad song on the alboml.

[ruitster]

this song does'nt even deserve a B-side!

this is so not cure-like, not even mucical at all!

he's realy a freak in this video. I hope the rest of the new album is more like the only one and the perfect boy, wich i love....still love robert, but don't understand him anymore...

[FXMAN66]

RS is always doing his own thing. I doubt you ever understood him. I doubt anyone here does for that matter. That what makes each new album a treat.

[jnabors1]

What the hell is wrong with Robert? He is so talented. I just don't understand his need to release crap to the public.

[damienrobert]

This is like some lost song from Japanese Whispers era Cure.

[dudeee42]

I think this more then the only one, i had doubts about the new cd this ain't bad

[mikescott77]

this song comes out the day I graduate. The song isn't great, but it's okay. The album it gonna still be good.

[Curegirl92]

wooo this song comes out on the day of my last exam!! you know how i'll be celebrating ;)

X x x

[curewinter]

yeah, blasting it out the window perhaps?

[crittoprrr]

Sometimes it takes a couple listens before it registers. Don't crap on a song too quickly.

[gilles542]

I love The Cure since almost 20 years. I beleive this is the greatest band on earth... but i HATE this one. The worst cure song ever according to me. It just sounds stupid ... ;(

[YeahManWoot]

This is the live version just wait 'till it comes out next friday.

[YeahManWoot]

Cool this song comes out on June 13th...Last day of school...and Friday the 13th!!

[hitlerfanboy]

the cure are a great band but this crap is just taking the piss.maybe some cure fanatics can like this steaming pile of cack.maybe.

[javveboy]

Without a doubt, this is the worst song the cure has composed/writen/¤#%/#¤%/ .. WTF is this?

[LexyGore]

THIS IS AN EXCEELENT SONG!!!

They played it in Vancouver and Robert did the cutest slide dance thing!!

I soooo can't wait for it's release JUNE 13!!!

[sergiuoegar]

i like this band.they make a great music!

[Kjuroman]

This song is great. It dosen't matter what others say - I love it! ;)

[LexyGore]

I agree!

I think it's wonderful!

[deboehmler]

Hmm, this song's not working for me.. Looking forward to the album though..

[annabelcure]

ROBERT A GOGO!! xD

I love this song, I love The Cure!! *.*

[razorio007]

Sounds like a porl thompson song.

[momouth]

great great great great great!!!!!! i love you robert!!!!!

[HaloCure]

I'm seeing them in DENVER TODAY!!! I love this song and I can't wait to hear it live! Robert, I'm sending you lots of good love and healing for your sore throat, and hope you'll be all better for the show tonight!

[myshock23]

one of the better current Cure pop songs, love it.

[aclopezestrada]

This sounds like Cure circa Kiss me kiss me kiss me....

[curewinter]

June 13th this comes out.

[AlasterDiablo]

wait I thought it came out in September

[DJEclipseNiagara]

The single is being released on June 13. The album is coming out in September.

[MrXMGS]

the single comes june 13th

the album september 13th

[0cureberry0]

THE CURE FOREVER!!!

[tchoutx]

Just luv it!! Rob is such a FREAK!! and can he move!!!...

the Cure are the best!

[omifishcakes]

this song wouldnt be half as good without roberts dancing xD

i like it right at the beginning where he points his finger at the crowd.

[richardhigonsby]

Watching this a second time makes me realize that Robert Smith dancing is just SCARY

[deadlyassassin185]

1:02-1:16ish... love the dancing!!

THE CURE ARE THE BEST BAND IN THE ENTIRE UNIVERSE!! (and quite possibly beyond...)

[MrXMGS]

hahahaha remember is a freak show! =D

[ADRIANCURACION]

los mejores del mundo

[omifishcakes]

I ADOREEEE roberts dancing xD he did this at wembley this year and it was after the lovecats and lets go to bed and everyone was just dancing like MAD it was amazing and so funny!!

[Fushia1992]

WOW ROBERT IS DAMN GOOD DANCER :D!!!

[ShadowDances11]

I think it's great!! It's back to the crass pop songs. Porl's playing is fantastic... "groovy" lol. not so much but it's still got a playful energy to it.

[ADRIANCURACION]

SON GENIALES, LOS MEJORES

[hereyougo03]

yes, ive always loved their poppy silly stuff too - just like throw your foot and stuff - im not moaning for "dark" stuff at all...just think this particular song is not good at all. i dunno, just my opinion.

[cosmicdisunity76]

i couldnt agree more, this is a cracking little song! part of the very essence of the cure is the silly infectious pop songs such as six different ways, caterpillar

[sws888]

I dont get why people are moaning about this as well, i prefer songs like lament, a forest etc but i also love the mad pop side of the cure, sure it aint of the same calibar as Close to me or Lovecats but its got the crazy touch, bit more fun and funky then anything off the last 2 albums..and live inbetween the pop stuff it goes down a treat... Silly cure :)

[tchoutx]

this is such a cool song!!!... total CURE~~~!!

[omifishcakes]

Plus, if you heard this live they played it (at wembley at least) after the lovecats and lets go to bed and close to me, so it fit in with the atmosphere at that time, everyone was up dancing like mad including robert...it just was fun. im sure robert doesnt take himself seriouslt when he sings that.

[omifishcakes]

Why is everyone leaving such bad comments? The songs they have been playing are only 3 of a double album..im sure there'll be some darker songs on the album too.

As for singles...robert just picks the songs he thinks will do well, not necessarily ones he likes himself. I know hes said before that his fav cure songs are the long 9 minute ones so im guessing more disintegration.

[narimare]

wendy time from wish??? 

did you sniff some glue before making that comment?

[jrevelator1971]

I used to loving them in the 80's and 90's. Now I cannot stand them anymore. Always the same songs. Fed up.

[LIL2511]

Sounds a bit like Wendy Time on Wish...

Dammit I hate Porl so much -_- He puts Wah on everything, even Disintegration for gods sake!I wish he'd go back to Led Zeppelin, he'll leave again when the new album doesn't do so well...if you look at the Cures career, Porl leaves when the going gets tough.

It's wierd..

Oh well, rant over xD

Nice to see SMith enjoying himself though =]

[myshock23]

I agree completely. Porl is too funky for Cure sound, Led Zeplin should take him back!

[lolinonnon]

Porl is awesome! I'm glad he's back :D

[jnabors1]

This song is scheduled to be the second single from the new album. It is to be released on June 13th with the song, The Only One scheduled to be the first single. It will be relased on May 13th. As usual, Robert has picked the crapiest songs on the album to be released as singles. Robert has major issues. This reminds me of the crap relased from the last album.

[NilThree]

I don't know, this could be a good song without RS killing the vocals.

I liked Alt.End.

[hereyougo03]

Its refreshing to read something that makes sense - usually, people get all weird and defensive if you state ANYthing the Cure has done as not-so-good. hey, Ive been huge fan since 1985 & I agree that this is a crappy mess...good lord

[curellasays]

i love this!! OMG!! xoxo

[DerStrafbomber]

haha, indeed. i miss "the top". sigh.

[greyagain]

THE CURE

:P

[heartFIEND]

this is groovy. i love it :)

[ttrjs]

that's funny, groovy, I hav'nt heard that in 30 years!

[jnabors1]

What the hell is this mess? I am guessing this will be single # 2 from the new album

[heartFIEND]

it's not mess. it's funky :)

[Wheelbarrow1]

So glad Porl is back!

[PelicanYo]

these are out of order..it only lets me post so much at a time And its the same side the same switch the same soul the same witch the same butt? as if I ride? I take it up? she shakes like a freak stuck in the middle of the weak and the only way to get on the beat is take the other method - dance

[PelicanYo]

nd its the same sway the same slide the same switch the same slut the same butt? as if I ride? I take it a steps down and since its up now I got down around freak I go around the back and to your soft now your giving up help!I try to stop

[PelicanYo]

well its a shake and she shakes like the weak

stuck in the middle of the floor for a week

its the only way to get on the beat

is take the other method ?notgonnatry?\

whatever it might be

[PelicanYo]

this is the clearest version of this song yet, nobody has attempted the lyrics yet so here is my attempt..atleast the first part I was just dreaming like I'm loser she turns the lights up says I am screaming this is a freak show and have litte will she turns to wake up I try to stop bittersweet again, opening moon turns out I'm not so shiny and (new)(smooth) its like the alien crowd gone blue was an aim at my armor it will never get through

[ramsua]
