[RealDogofGenius]

...seriously... WTF is the point... hmmm... just because this English gentleman is ruined... and obviously has sold his ass on the London streets... and sold it cheap to Jack the Ripper(the real ones... ) ...why is he being all gloomy and feminin... hmmm... WHY? ...why must he be such a looser and a gay cry baby... hmmm... and it seems as if that's his weapon... that if I criticize "him" ...then I am a NAZI... and a bad person... hmmm... ...England will be turned in to a parking lot!!

[RealDogofGenius]

...hmmm... in the words of Popey... "what I can stands... I can stands no more"

[RealDogofGenius]

...dammit... as in ...boy for sale... or a fresh piece of boys ass for sale London... HA?!

[RealDogofGenius]

...and speaking of English Muffins... hmmm... brain raping the world... hmmm... it's NOT "boys don't cry" ...stupid EMO fag... it's actually "boys don't LIE" ...simple... and why would a boy lie... and why is it that the word BOY has been sodomised by the gay community... and buttraped... hmmm... and it also seems that ONLY girls are allowed to say the word "BOY" ...and "boy London" ...HA?! ...as in ...ass for sale London... HA?! ...hmmm... matando emos!!

[Lellinge1]

A Kinder Egg... Three great things: The Cure, the song and of course Ray Cokes <3

[peavy69]

Do you have them ?

[darkrebel09]

I love you Robert!!

[namemebymyname]

How nich of them to be guesting their hoste ',)...

[Metalnor]

A little slow, but good ;)

[vampire176]

[vickiner]

Que foda

[ciararozzas]

[acousticmaster15]

[PredictorsRage]

[GOTICLOVER]

[gilles542]

[spookymax18]

Uh, Oh! I'm tearing up!

[TheRobotCircus]

Check out our boys don't cry cover!

long live The Cure.

[Iamsammyrose]

i cant watch this video

funny video lets chat Z6

[fakeplasticcomputer]

Robert Smith's voice is live even better than in the studio...!!!

[TomUltranova]

and it's 21 years later than the original recording on three imaginary boys--imagine that.

[ZioZambe]

Yeah, that guy is impressive! I can't stand lip-syncing but I admit it's pretty usual for a singer to lose his voice in 15/20 years. Robert is DEFINITELY an exception!

[gunther101]

I definitely agree! This whole gig is great, and this is probably my favorite live version of this song. I even like his vocals here more than on the album, and damn I've gotta see them live at least once before I die!

[12WDH12]

the legends....

[accentaveyronnais]

a revelation here

always thought Robert Smith was as small as a dwarf

but i know that that Ray Cokes man is quite tall

that makes Robert at last 6 ft !

[Mstar82]

I miss the guitar solo at the beginning :(

but all in all its a good performance of a good band, yay robert!

[kooljsl]

greatest performance of this song!

[namemebymyname]

Cool version and cool tribute towards that guesting person

[astralhed]

wow, this is an awesome version of this song!!!

[xtreme0001]

80's! the hair, the shoes(creepers) the fun.

Good Times!

[Omaximotdbzb3]

Ray Cokes is lefty. Good performance.

Mr Ray cokes you is the bomb my man !! loved your shows!! allways have to smile when i watch these vids!! shame about hamburg LOL Hammer time!! thx for posting!!

[sabrahosito]

i love this band and always have even since i was a teenager in the 1980's when they first came out where i even had a hairdo the same as this singer here when i was a teenager where back then we were known as preppies when i lived in canada in the greater toronto area they call it now listening to this kind of music on cfny the spirit of radio it was also called back then.

[Ayanamo]

Can someone tell me whos this Ray Cokes? i cant find any info about him

[NYNYMatt]

He was the host of an MTV show called MTV's Most Wanted and several other UK and French shows. He was said to be a Cure fan.

But enough of Ray.

What is really important here is what a lovely, lovely version of "Boys Don't Cry" this session produced. Doesn't it seem that Robert just sort of grew into the song here, and realized how beautiful it is and how special and just spun his wonderful voice over it??? I am so glad to have this version.

Thank you Robert Smith.

[MikoCWB]

GREAAAAAT. Never seen this one before. But I love The Cure and I surely miss Ray Cokes and his crazy MTV Most Wanted show with Rob the cameraman, Nina and Zig & Zag. Those were the days...

[NYNYMatt]

What a song.

[therabbit27]

Ray Cokes is lefty. Good performance.

[lazydogs]

Is the statement, "Boys don't cry." true? Is that a lie? How does one hide tears in an eye?

[MagicMoonMan]

Boys should be tough, and shouldn't cry. To hide a tear in an eye is just the same af trying not to cry.

[lazydogs]

[6395544]

theye are punkrock band i dont know how ...

but there not emo

[LastExitForTheLost]

They are NOT punk! They're unique. But if you had to label them it would be post-punk, goth and alt-rock (but got only applies to some of the early stuff).

[ajittffcure]

Their music cannot be truly categorised in any way!

[MagicMoonMan]

Not at all goth. How can you say that?

[RobinErrece]

woow one of the notes at the start was well outa tune

[raffsecond]

and a dream ..:-)

[UnlimitedWallpapers]

Robert Smith is a legend...

[afiALLWAYS]

I LOVE THIS SONG

[drewstar1974]

ray cokes LEGEND

[danyelpenelope]

im emo

robert isnt

[amy2171987]

awh I like Marilyn Manson. lol... though he is a twat sometimes.. indeed.

but in no way is he "emo"... what ever that is.

i agree The Cure is timeless!

one of my favourite bands and Robert Smith is incredible and a simply stunning musician

[Hallucination]

Shut the fuck up everyone about this emo crap. It's a lame label just like "Indie" My god. Anyone who claims they're "emo" or is concerend with whether or not a band is "emo" is poseur and any band that thinks their music is emo is a poseur. The Cure rule plain and simple. Shit I'm sick of reading comments about emo this and emo every damn time I check outta video by a band I like. The same goes with indie posing idiots. It's music. That's all.

[8inchnails]

agree men! anyways dy r not emo!!!jeeezzzz dyr far from d emo-ngoloids!

[mandodanne]

I don't know ho Ray Cokes is but i think he looks quite silly when he's playing guitar and he doesn't even know the entire song :p

[olafking]

ray cokes is a former mtv hero - he's cool and ok and accepted by the bands he performed - good guy, believe me

[HeyItsNoodle]

Ahh, Robert. Be mine. *melts* :P

[gabby061]

Wow.... Music from the 80's Never Die!

[colinwwk]

marilyn manson's emo

[konstantya]

ray cokes the punk rocker vj;) one love

[RoderickUsherSS]

I see you werent very good at picking up the irony of my post. Oh well... Give your poor little heads a rest ;)

PD: I know The Cure aren´t fucking emos,´I´ve been a cure fan for years and ive seen them three times. Hope I have been clear enough. Somehow, I think that this time you still won´t get it. Good luck!

[emogirlpunker]

the cure is not emo is pop , but real emo music( bands )take so much of the cure

[myshock23]

LEts see, David Bowie, Ozzy Ozborne, 80's Hair Bands,Manic Street Preachers, The killers, Smashing Pumpkins, list goes on and on, of ROCK bands who wear or who have members who wear makeup. Men wearing Makeup are not confined to Being "EMO" and EMO music gnerally sucks, which the Cure does not.

[kaChalloner]

u can tell that mark from blink looks up to him, he closes his eyes and tilts his head just like robert

[arul06]

are they emo?

[pwnage826]

FUCK NO. emos just copied and mashed certain things from other looks and made it emo. robert smiths look is unique.

[RoderickUsherSS]

Of course, man. The Cure are Emo, the same as Boy George, Freddy Mercury, Peter Murphy, Johnny Slut, Siouxsie Sioux, Bret Anderson, Brian Molko, my mum, my grannie... ¡¡¡They are all emo because they use make up!!!

[melvsbandril]

you're stupid! - you know nothing about the cure

[killerzombie555]

youre stupid dude those are real rock icons what kind of shity bands u listening 2............u must be a poser.......even emo wasnt invented on the 70s

[sephai]

ahahaha--what a poser you are. The Cure emo? I'd kill myself if their emo! Emo bands are lyrically and musically emo such as ARMOR FOR SLEEP and Dashboard Confessional and Promise Ring.

You suck!

[willcarryon986]

hey hey be carrefoul emo are good if you dont like it its your problem man kill yourself and armor 4 sleep isni is emo its shit dog crap its fucking happy shit punk you suck man!

[guywholikesfood]

you lot fail to notice sarcasm

[Stones007]

go soak your head in the toilet. please. Emo is the worst thing that ever happened to music. The Cure are the greatest thing.

[guywholikesfood]

The Cure may not be emo, but they've definitely been a MASSIVE influence

[djemil5]

Robert Smith!! Yeah!! love this!!

[ProjectMaelstrom]

Ye ye dGmons03 you find it exactly the same... take you faggot vallo and put him you know where.. They have nothing common as the music and the bands they have ...

[zzzari]

i love robert smith- but not the cure so much....they're ok.

[vendo89]

perchè quel tizio pùo sonare con loro e io no? nn è giusto!

[hexenhuisje]

Yeah..Ray had the balls and was free spirited enough to go head to head with the looooosers from mtv

[ohgottweristdas]

roy was 10 years ago a vj on mtv europe.15 years ago the cure allowed him in his show to play the guitar (don't remember which song,i think it was boys don't cry too).on this show history repeats.ray cokes was a "punk-vj". he never had done what mtv told him! vj's aren't allowed to talk more than 45 secondes... ray wanted to shows the mtv management that he don't give a fuck, so he talked 10 minutes at one piece at an live show! he developed also the show most wanted

[tsoutsoubroutsou]

Who the fuck is Ray Cokes??? His boyfriend ???

[losein1988]

mix the love and die the cure is one of most myth bands i love it

[jamestampere]

Robert Smith is God!

[jeraleena]

here here

[szigi63]

Schade dass es die Sendung nicht mehr gibt! Ich habe Music Planet 2Nite mit Indochine eingestellt. Mein persönlicher Favorit! Cure ist aber auch Klasse!

[Moyah07]

Robert is So DAMN HOT.

[juturna10]

[1978lucas]

[shadesofcharlie]

[katokowgirl]

This is the best live version of this song I have seen/heard to date

[azrael6699]

[dGmons03]

He's like Ville Valo..

[beaujones1]

Ville Valo is like him :P :)

[Karimgg]

wow he was fat here!

[lette7]

I wouldn't call him fat at all. And anyway, it is a fact of life that most of us fill out a bit when we get over 40.

[bigpilou]

fabulous, merci

[lette7]

I can never work out what colour Robert's eyes are, been trying for years. Sometimes they look brown, other times dark blue. ANYONE OUT THERE KNOW?

[Kireihana]

Greyish blue! He has it written on an article I saw somewhere recently.

[mehmehmehej]

[vergassola28]

[perezlora]

[WouterJ]

It seems like his guitarplaying skills haven't improved much.

Nevertheless, this was a lot of fun to watch.

[kinkyafro2]
