The Cure - Just like heaven (A Tope 10-06-1987)

[patrycja711]

omg it's a playback... It can be seen after the first tune they played. That was terrible acting on the scene and everyone can see that they act in very ridiculous way... It's a shame cause they hated miming,,,

[TheSnoopy1750]

Robert was ahead of his time and is a once-in-a-generation talent.

Even now, many bands (AFI, Dinosaur Jr. etc.) are doing covers.

[wolfgangriotful]

pssst....(zend0) so does your mum.

[shrubs0077]

Hmm, I dont see an electric guitar, but hear one

[zend0]

my farts smells

[mc9579]

Still even today...... an AWESOME song and band!!!

[sgt1337]

Guitar straps are soooo 1986!!!!

[mystro810]

they must feel silly pretending to play this song

[theh7308]

@mystro810

I was just thinking "wow..this sounds an AWFUL LOT like the album version..lol I still love them! :-D

[rayito2005]

Nice song i love it.

[bullonparade93]

I love the Cure and sure as hell know that Robert Smith is an extremely brilliant vocalist but this performance is totally lip-synced. It sounds identical to the record. there is no lead guitar playing and where the hell are those harmonies coming from? oh well. the cure even when lip-synching are better than the majority of pop music today by far

[bankaininjav2]

@bullonparade93 it's not lip sync persay. the video could have just been edited.

[SunbeltRyders]

@bankaininjav2 it was a lip sync, not the band's choice but the format of the show.. part of the reason their 'faked' performance is so unbelievable was their way of protesting this policy of lip syncing on shows

[raveonette6567]

I love Robert's gestures in this video. c:

[diego19074]

this is one of the greatest songs of all time!

[darkforest121]

Oh how I love this song! Takes me back to highschool days and how this song brought so many happy days to my life back then. The Cure has a way with doing that!! :)) The Cure is truly phenomenal!! Robert is just so adorable and such a love!! Such a gorgeous, gorgeous man!! He so melts my heart!! LOVE HIM!! The Cure forever my friends!! ☺♥♥

[MsRebow]

I like how most of the music is synthesizer but the camera focuses on the acoustic guitar. The keyboard is never seen, lol

[SunbeltRyders]

@MsRebow What do you mean, they repeatedly show the keyboard

[CjScott101]

i think im in love

[davidmc107]

That was back in the day when I was a teen :-)

[davidmc107]

I like this group but lip synching yes?

[ADRYANX99]

me late un buen la rola

[stoprejectingmynames]

What an amazing band. 

[pdid2]

This performance isn't live is it? i mean its all air instruments at least?

[pdid2]

this performance isn't live is it?

[mtsn]

@pdid2 no it's playback.

[laurasbotanicals]

I just love this... he is so adorable.... I love his shyness that shows through

[tombeef1]

Robert is married to heroine

[Pevlogz]

@tombeef1 Actually he quit heroine a long time ago. God, if you're going to insult a great musician, atleast get your facts right...

[cybermatufia]

aND THEN THEY PLAY IN SPAIN´S TV SHOW (at the Europe bloody backyard)

WTF are they doin´ there ????????????

[tdoesntmatter]

Robert is not gay. And so fucking what if he were? And Robert and Mary married in 1988. Hence the Honeymoon tour witch was the second leg of the Kissing Tour.

For the dude afraid of gays.. the CURE would HATE YOU. Go listen to some shit metal music.

[Cyrraeve]

Robert is not gay. He has been married to his wife Mary since 1985

[solomillos29]

@Cyrraeve 1988 =D

[anarchistsalute]

its awesome how he does little movements while he sings.damn there great

[xphantasmx]

wonderful song. who cares if he is gay. i dont care. his music speaks for itself.

[laurasbotanicals]

love this song,... he really IS adorable.

[yonattan88]

wow

[Taboo0217]

to christian my love ty for allowing me to hear music thru your eyes and heart

[laurasbotanicals]

he looks like he is really struggling with what he should do with his hands during this since he is usually playing the guitar in all of the other videos. It's funny and cute nonetheless!

[slf]

best cure song

[judioavaro]

Menudos pringaos, un poco de respeto podian haber tenido y tocar como si lo hizieran en directo. que te den rober smit. Uno que se tiro a tu chica

[zepelinet]

@judioavaro

Cuidaoo !!! La boquetaaaa!!!

[hallyrock]

robert smith es la neta , viva the cure

the cure for ever xp i love you

[camineko]

love him 1:06 sooo sexy XDXD and yeaaa is play b. it doesnt mine!!!!

saludos!!!!

[mhaneline]

i'm reasonably certain that this is play-back, with lip-syncing.

If you notice how he's moving around closer/farther from the microphone without the volume of singing changing at all.... that's a dead give-away.

[MyBumIsOnTheSwedish]

@mhaneline yeah it definitely is there's no rythym guitar player there, and you can definitely hear there's two guitars going on, and besides Robert Smith would play rythym live on this song so that fact that he's only singing is a dead give away

[crookies93]

@mhaneline

and the fact it sounds identical to the studio version ofcourse ;o just with a tiny bit of echo :D

[hrbr1990]

This song makes me fly :D

[KOSMICSUPERHERO]

are they playing live or to a pre-recorded track?? because this sounds flawless...

[dunnnerr]

I love this song, but god The Cure are gay as hell hahaha. I like Dinosaur Jr.'s version better though.

[bendebiase]

they threaten your masculinity?

[dunnnerr]

yeah, that is what i was getting at...

[IllogicalHippo]

Looks like they have a lot of backtracks there

[spiritchannel]

I so LOVE and so MISS the 80s!! This video and song take me so back there!

[GREENMAN75321]

playback

[profitprophet368]

Love this song

[Mstar82]

its crazy, the 'trademark' of robert smith is definately his hair (nd the make up), and today he still has it.

Theres not much difference and its crazy that this performance is 21 years back.. ok he gained bit on weight and his face got older of course, but all in all he looks still robert smith-like.

great band, great robert smith, great song!

[bonofan100]

Robert Smith is heaven and he makes me hot hot hot!!!!!!!

[ifyourscaredsayur]

The Cure is on ABC's Jimmy Kimmel Show Monday.

11:00pm Central Monday night 12-15-08.They

were on The Jay Leno Show this past thursday

12-11-08.Robert still has the same hair & make up.But,he has gained some wait & looks

older.He is 49 but,his voice is the same.

[malasagna]

Dios, que alguien suba el programa de ese día entero!! xDD

[AsphyxiationXo]

Lol. Roberts so adorable.

^__^

[cor7tak]

@AsphyxiationXo ... Gay or not gay, woman or shemale - this song is 100% fun!

[TheCurseHead]

Of course it's playback, you can tell by looking at Robert "singing"! He's not even near the microphone! And as curdisszero said, where is the lead guitar coming from? Nowhere!

[KamillaNeeraas]

Robert is so cuuuute :D

[Seddie14]

this guy with acoustic guitar makes me laugh:D he playbacks all 2 tracks of original guitars in this song.

[frozenKmadness]

It's playback, huh?

[dehen18]

FAKE!!!!!!

This sounds too good for live and exactly like music video.

[dmrosetattoo05]

This is lip syncing, shame on you Robert! I suppose he had no choice.

[namemebymyname]

What's syncing?

[giornoccuto]

Boris is the best!

[thastrom93]

If you really think this is real live your stupid.

[curdisszero]

you would have to be positivly retarded to think this is real

where is the lead guitar coming from

[ecarey08]

Best song ever! Robert Smith was so good looking in this video!

[matuss64]

playback!!!!!!!!!

[duranland]

GOD..How I miss this lineup!

Why are you so far away..?? I say..

Cause we are in love with you!

COME BACK BORIS and Robert please forgive Laurence Tolhurst !

[dmrosetattoo05]

FUCK LOL!!!!!! He is such a loser!!!!!

[curdisszero]

nah hes just drunk out of his mind

[JakeCtim25]

if only they wr really playing

[davelex08]

I got to see the Cure in Rotterdam, Holland in 1987 and again this year in Austin, TX, rocking as hard now as they did 20 years ago.

[acinomardnas]

Bob,You won't ever know that I'm in love with you.

[Dubz3ro]

i wish i could dance like Robert Smith.

[namemebymyname]

You dance like your self- which is the best!

You're the best you in the whole wide world which ever was, is, and will ever be.

Like everyone

;)

[plachance1987]

what gays... good song tho

[InnerAnarchy]

explain how they are gay if the song is about a girl.

[CuredPoison]

@InnerAnarchy yea, more than 90% of his songs is about love to girl so I don't know how somebody can be that

...(my english isn't good enough xD)

[XAcxurAteShotxX]

@InnerAnarchy agreed with you

[manikomiopunks]

playback?

[Ayanamo]

i want mp3 version of this o.O it sounds better than the studio version somehow.

[VinuesaPD]

it´s playback...

[Kayin777]

so what

[VinuesaPD]

my coment was a reply to Ayanamo

[Kayin777]

oh ok. :]

[gangrelvideos]

hahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha­hahahahahaha so funny

[Puesmasbienpocacosa]

It's true

[lissheim]

The bit between 01.57-01.08 is like a dream come true. God it feels great being a straight woman right now...

[luciousblackwell]

wow. 1:05

i just had an orgasm

[00Apocalyptica00]

hahahha! i know what you mean ! ;D Grr!! <333

[trinnxx]

oh i so agree... gorgeous!! mmmmm...

:)

[Harcix]

One of the best lip syncs eva!

[jhimmy20]

lo mejor q ha habido y va a ser the cure lo maximo pa q mas!!!

Just like heaven es lo mejor

[barrylmills]

i guess they forgot to bring along their guitar straps.

[TheS1nW1th1n]

why are they playing it to the track?

[Ombrenuit]

many of these shows required that they lip sinc, something that Robert hated and always protested by screwing around on stage or coming to the "gig" drunk

[TheS1nW1th1n]

ah, thats terrible >.>

[jack671]

it's easier to mix, live is harder.

[deadlyassassin185]

most ppl find miming to be a stupid thing to do but i reckon it would be so fun to do. u can do so much crazy stuff and still hit all the right notes =p

i'd love to do this with my band

[kelvix80]

Porl is getting a kick ass electric sound out of that acoustic!

[jack671]

they are not really playing. they are playing to a track.

[Bondiaa]

And wot?

[diegucho182]

a lol le tiemblan los dedos XD

[kmalevich]
