[LexelleMusic]

[mrsolofeo]

The first time I listened to Pornography--the full CD--I said "What the hell was that!"

before realizing that my mind had not advanced sufficiently to appreciate The Cure.

[dgutierrez4]

Amazing live performance. That's how the band sounds its best...live. If you've never seen the movie, "In Orange," a live performance from the late 80's, you should check it out. The show sounds like this song.

[jenjko]

good!!

[RebornArcobaleno1997]

26 ppl here though this was the actual pornography

[jfelipe994]

musica fora do comum coisa de gênio

[father042]

[asha1003]

[myterminalandthetrip]

0:39 Simon Gallup comes in very massively!!! What a fantastic bass sound!!!!

[wuno08]

during an interview Robert was asked what he think about the album Pornography and he answered: "a splendid album."

[ARENEUR16]

énorme..

[htavilap]

Is the whole show availeble on DVD or something? This is amazing.

[JoshFF745]

@htavilap Yes it is! It's called The Cure: Trilogy and it covers this entire album as well as 'Disintegration' and 'Bloodflowers'. I bought it at Best Buy you can find it at a lot of different places.

[NickoBlayde]

Sounds like a tardis at the beginning

[Etheryczna]

Musicorgasm x)

[TheRATTLEHEAD75]

[TheRATTLEHEAD75]

[iKeywee]

I came here thinking this video would show me the way to stop watching Pornography.

[isabellerickman]

J'aime j'aime j'aime j'aime et j'aime ***

[magnificentbastard27]

the cure invented and then abandoned so many genres over the course of their career, robert smith and simon gallup are geniuses.

[caitlinniamh]

what is the movie at the beginning of the track. I know its backwards but cant remember the name,

[raffsecond]

oh ,i love it so much

[XxsilentninjaxX]

@PUPIMUMIS Pornography.... It's the last song off of the album; it's a pretty intense studio as well.

[Vypir1966]

Best version ever of Pornography. Simon rocks and Robert is..well just amazing.

[ratayska]

trop bien trop trop trop excellent THE CURE

[violator2591]

[Werle71]

[tactikmca]

super groupe , super chanson , super souvenir juste avant mon service militaire , avec gogotte on pars a orange les voir , une bonne soirée d'été

[averixo20011]

There should not be and never will be anything even close to this kind of music ever again. This is what a live performance should always be.You can alway's excpect this from Robert Smith and The Cure and you probably should'nt excpect this greatness when it comes from any other bands.This is raw genius at it's very finnest.Smiths vocals are intoxicating.Smith's playing is brillant!!!!!! They will alway's be my very favorite band now and forever!

[ralvarezguitar]

@averixo20011 well put

Best Cure album ever.

[anhedonia47]

Every song on Pornography is amazing

[21love4ever]

Fuck communism. 

[tietensex]

to much porn is bad for your spinal.

[bigme666]

here is where dark wave starts and ends

[compleCCity]

@bigme666

best possible comment for best possible song by best possible band!

thumb up ...

[dcdwthx1138]

The song sounds live extremely good, much better than the original version on the 1982 album. Simon Gallup is so brilliant, his bass sounds like a monster truck........

[lantenec]

@dcdwthx1138 Rickenbacker bass bro, the low end on that thing will knock you on your ass. I think that album was recorded with one too; you should get the remastered version, much better than the original cd pressing.

[45pjones]

This is a tough song to pull off, as matching the emotion from the LP is difficult, but Robert is a great actor as much as anything else, he seems to be able to turn it on. I think sometimes he struggles to turn it off though! I agree that it is the bass that makes this live version work, and having Roger, that most under-rated of band-members, on keyboards.

[morganys]

Brillant

[Fleurdelotus59]

very good (y) !!!

[4everliam]

THIS IS BEYOND WORDS. ROBERT IS GOD. SIMPLE AS THAT.

[Kieraganion]

You're still wrong... It has to do with musical style and composition. Goth is a decadent of the Post-Punk initially started by bands like Bauhaus and The Cure. Pornography, actually, was produced right Robert had toured as a back up guitarist for Siouxsie & The Banshees. Another of the original bands. (: It has so much more to do with how the music sounds than based off of how "dark" it is. And "The Cure" is a pioneer of that sound. For this reason, Depeche Mode is not Goth. xD

[ScotteDio]

This is such badass. This was when The Cure were top class.

[fantomuerte]

orgasmique...

[mikemazurable]

I must fight this sickness...find the cure...(And I'm always finding it in THE CURE music0!!!!!!!!!

[neilmccauley1]

Who has the best Gothic trilogy .... Depeche Mode's trilogy (Black Celebration, Music for the Masses, & Violator) or the Cure's trilogy (Pornography, Disintegration, & Bloodflowers) ?

[precinkt]

@neilmccauley1 hahahahahaha.

[louiscfc93]

@neilmccauley1 i would say that seventeen seconds and faith are darker than disintegration and bloodflowers

[louiscfc93]

@neilmccauley1 and i wouldnt exactly call depeche mode goth lol they have some dark songs but theyr not "goth".anyway why did you even bring depeche mode up on this ?

[neilmccauley1]

@louiscfc93 well DM music has been tagged as goth bcuz of its level of darkness and have a longer string of dark albums such as BlkCelb, MFTM, Vio, SOFAd, Ultra, PTA. The Cure began was tagg (labeled) as goth bcuz of 17sec, faith and Porn .... but they strayed away from it bcuz they didnt like being tagged as goth. what do u think?

[vincecartoon]

The timeless Pornography..! Wonderfdul song wiht the psychotic rythm, background drowned sounds... Great version... Great Robert...Great Cure!

[SimonGallup1971]

J'Adore.Tout Simplement.

[marive75]

Pornografìa porque se desnuda en lo màs desquiciado, tètrico , triste y desolado, o el vacio màs hondo mismo del alma humana

[leigh2134]

Simon Gallup's bass on this version makes this song so much better than the album version. Robert's guitar playing is legend.

[kikkinbut]

one of the songs that proved the cure was more....than a fad. this album was epic.

[badshans]

the sound is hotter than pornography.

[Suspended7DusK]

Great song. I thought the video editing was annoying as hell and repetitive, though. ...and I still prefer the album version of the song. :)

[slash11227]

do you know any simillar songs to "last day of summer" or "underneath the stars" ?? if you know, please - answer me .

[Ckordobah]

syrex33 !!!!I freken Adore U... I want to buy this DVD /Concert if Possible F**** !!!!

[sracuevas]

SIMON GALLUP IS THE BEST!

[SimonGallup1971]

@sracuevas

[19hyper72]

Visions of hell.

[xXLazarus23Xx]

The Cure are the coolest!!

[compleCCity]

masterpiece!

[boltring]

I have played this song over & over for years and still NEVER tire of it!

So violent and chaotic and just maybe the best work they have ever done.

[saphire696969]

From the songs iv been hearing from the cure there i dont know what to say, i dont want to say good or awesome just.. brillant!! I love how all of the instuments are being used in this song its great and the toms sound killer. This now has to be one of my favorites from them so far.

[MsRedbelly]

Wow, the despair soaked, dark , deep echo of the abyss. Intense.

[tomyorke26]

One Song Where Robert's Finished His Album Wanted To End The CURE,

No One Thought The Album Was Going To Be a Successfuly Record, Rob Said That In 1982, He Didn't Give a Shit The Media and The Charts Back In Those Years He Just Cared Have Been Made The Great Album By Him And He Done That, A Fucking Bad Ass Album!

[606grain]

this is a briliant song with complicated strings and chords. great song with a strong emotional presence. the cure were at there gothic peak.

[HawK047]

The song is awesome, the album is brilliant!

The album is perfectly put together and with pornography as a great ending, the album is a trip into the abyss, but what a lovely one!

I download myself and I do download some music. But I demand everyone to buy this album, because its one of the best goth albums there ever were. If not for the songs themselves, its the way the songs follow up on eachother.

[F3FisGoodforYou]

@HawK047 I don't consider Pornography as a "Goth" album, it's so so much more than that... it's way too restrictive. I don't I like one single goth band and goth song... but I consider The Cure as one of the best band ever. and you're so right this album is a masterpiece.

[HawK047]

@F3FisGoodforYou Genre's are restrictive by itself, and thats the sad truth. But considering this is a great band, they're making a great thing out of a restrictive "genre" system built up by the media, if you know what I mean.

I see your point though, and I agree in some way. Yet I find goth not to be something too restrictive, but a world of atmosphere that alot of people cant comprehend but some see as a beautifull form of art.

Goth doesnt define bands, bands define goth, as with all art.

[Xephon212]

@HawK047 Very well said. +1 internet rep. :)

[HMClagi]

The cure...So cool...Forever, whatever the line up, as long as HE is there!

[Yurko1993]

But it's too late

But it's too late

One more day like today and I'll kill you

A desire for flesh

And real blood

I'll watch you drown in the shower

Pushing my life through your open eyes

I must fight this sickness

Find a cure

I must fight this sickness

[plauzzz]

best curesong ever

better then the album version

[ryko26]

poor joe

[Silkcaralion]

I agree with theboyracer100

[theboyracer100]

the cure forever.

[ElFlakoRompanTodo]

[ThirdAlternativ]

[caubambina]

the most exciting song :)

happy valentine´s day :)) we all fall down .)

[RaiClan]

@caubambina Fuck yeah

[Tsamados]

I wonder if they went back to Berlin before their 7 year itch?

[tzoana1]

the cure are brilliant and they are not depressing...unless you are a true fan you would not understand their songs

[Zerrith]

What do you mean? Surely the emotion he's going for here is despair.

[Silkcaralion]

so do i!

[EvaMarcillo]

genial bestial brutal directo

[argentinoche22]

this is the best album on history...

[aafjuh]

beautiful number

crazzzyyy

[collys0509]

very depressing song

[harmina92]

brilliant<3 cure create a work of art!

[FourCornersOfReality]

I wish I was no longer sad but full of happiness and not complete sadness. Please help me.

[israelmonrroy]

@FourCornersOfReality im also sad tonight. its normal to feel it. but try not to all the time,. tomorrow we will feel better or next day form tomorrow. but it will come and go nd come agaim...

[PowderedTowers]

Key to rising above unhappiness:

Rising above the moods/emotions that pass through the mind.

Realizing, through knowledge and meditation that you are NOT the mind or the moods/emotions that pass through it.

Along with the above, realizing that you are the pure consciousness that is the witness to the mind.

Unhappiness is a result of mistaking the self the be the mind and wrongly identifying with the mind and what is going on in the mind.

[collys0509]

hang in there sweetheart, lifegets better

[PaulProGuitar]

fag..hahaha just kidding!

[RaiClan]

@PaulProGuitar don't even kid like that

[loknloll]

the best, darkest cure album

[simionTheOne]

cya in seven years

& then the plainsong starts

lovely!

[SixGhost]

kill all the hippies lol,

no seriously Happy New Cure Year...

Hopefully for us, hopefully for The Cure...

[cocinelle26]

il primo concerto dei cure l'ho visto appena 18 anni fa',alla bella età di 15 anni grazie ad un mio ex!!!!per me è sempre un esperienza sentirli come all'ora

[filmyr]

Cure for ever and ever !!!

[paolotosi65]

Meglio della versione in studio....e non era facile....

[mistygahan]

serious musicianship.

[999klondike]

Great song. Even if it's a reworking of 'Atrocity Exhibition'.

[arqbrandon]

The Lol dark Side!!

[mparusz]

Pornography to genialny, prowokujący, rewolucyjny i cholernie niedoceniony album...

[lowlockunknown]

Love the darker Cure..............

[CrimsonKorbak]

This song is my favorite !!

Robert !! We love you !

[WWAAK]

This song gave me nightmares when I first heard it. Especially coz I read the lyrics while listening to it.

[nightpowder]

brilliant. fantastic. amazing.

[zombiekiller180]

I think the album version is slightly better but this is amazing too, along with all their music.

[MsRottedFlesh]

C: I like this version better. C: But I love all of them, The Cure is the best <3

[NightmareGanon]

Well, the guitar is considerably higher in the mix than what they are in the album.

[Engelsschatten]

One of their darkest songs... but it was a bittersweet time!

[Elephant334]

This song is about alienation, self contemplation and psychosis. One leads to another, eventually leads to the abyss of despair. Very intelligent.

[Spoonbender85]

And so are you. :-)

[TheRATTLEHEAD75]

@Elephant334 yes man . u r a clairvoyant.

[Spoonbender85]

Utterly brilliant. I love the dark, unsettling lyrics.

"And I'll watch you drown in the shower."

[afterthebombs]

fucking amazing song..the progression is great and chilling..love it better than the version on the album..

[dudeee42]

thought this version was better then the album the bass really adds to the sound

[Crossbowman]

True

[TheRATTLEHEAD75]

@dudeee42 yes dude. u r a clairvoyant too!

[scorpiotimothy]

I saw em 3 times, all in the 80's, all equally amazing shows...

[Ramoloutz]

love Smith for ever <3

[suikitnik]

Toujours génial

[AiyanaSP666]

he said 'see you in seven years' so does that mean he is touring this year? or the beginning of 2010?

[wishfulthings]

This was from the Trilogy show in Berlin where they played the dark trilogy of Pornography (1982), Disintegration (1989) and Bloodflowers (2000). The "see you in seven years" was the time between Pornography and Disintegration being released. Great Concert....buy the DVD or Blue Ray if you can.

[mjgmgs]

in the Berlin Trilogy Tour they played 3 albums, and the next one was Disintegration, witch was released 7 years later than Pornography.

[PistolPerry365]

No, this is from the dvd trilogy where they played Pornography, Disintegration, and Bloodflowers. Pornography is the last song on the album so he was just referencing Disintegration which came out 7 years after the Pornography album.

[feathers632]

The song is about a russian boy who becomes a criminal so he can feed his mother and sisters, and when he grows up he becomes a rich business man in control of corrupt politicians. At the height of his success he slips on a banana skin and breaks his legs and his back. Then his wife leaves him and has relationship with another woman. Then the man who can no longer walk shoots himself in head but fails to die. He lives until age of 86 and finally dies of boredom.

[TheNekomata]

wow... but... how did you now this?(sorry for my bad english)
