The Cure 1979-2004

[feniciacia]

I mean: The video is cute, thanks for sharing. It is dizzying to see as time goes on the music of the Cure and the faces of the musicians ... The old fans do not like to see that, as time passed for us all ... as a train passed above us ... Everything changes as we change. And if you like, keep your own hair and make wigs for later.

[feniciacia]

Está lindo el video, gracias por compartirlo. Es vertiginoso ver como pasa el tiempo en la música de the cure y en los rostros de los músicos...  A los viejos fanáticos no les gusta ver eso, como el tiempo pasó para todos... como nos pasó un tren por arriba... Todo cambia porque nosotros cambiamos. Y al que no le guste que guarde su propio pelo y se haga pelucas para más adelante.

[YeahImFromThe80s]

Vote for the cure! They are at #3 right now in the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame...get them to #1!!!!!

Whats the song in the opening???

[theincubus60]

[TheSnoopy1750]

@theincubus60 3:00 is The Walk.

[faproject]

Magnifique hommage au Cure et en particulier à Robert mon idole pour la vie. Merci à toi que je ne connais pas pour ce superbe montage ... ;-)

[mccura10]

whats the song at 4;51



[eddy2late]

@mccura10 It is called Push, from the album Tha Head on the door, you may like the live version in Orange

[mccura10]

@eddy2late alright thanks

[harmsworth]

Thanks for uploading...loved it!!

[Ayaisk]

Je parle de la premiere chanson

[Ayaisk]

Quelle est la chanson dans le video clip? Ce n'est pas de The Cure n'est-ce pas, ce n'est pas la voix de Smith

[BriBriPWNZ]

2004? YOU MEAN 2008?

[illistas]

@BriBriPWNZ the vid was posted in 2006 :p

[kyo2tokYo]

heyyyyy they were so younggggggg hereeeeee

[armandoma7]

I enjoy this video thank you Luffeh & continued Love The Cure.........!! Armando in Napa, California

[busterabcat]

agree jockojonson re: The Top - deffo the weakest of all the Cure albums during those first 10 years. I should have remembered that one when I put in my original post (but then the fact I forgot about it momentarily sums up pretty much how I feel about it as a whole!)

[kimjuh123]

This is so F-ing sexy. Fave band of all times <3!

[TimeTurners]

All the band members changed accept the singer, he looked normal at the start and then looked weird for the rest, and I'm sure there was a black guy for a while (I hope that doesn't sound racist) XD

[busterabcat]

Great visual overview! The Cure were essential between 1979 - 1989. Ten Perfect Years of peerless records and gigs. Wish was a bit patchy and practically everything they have done since has been a tired retread of their former glories..... contrived to the point of irritation. They should've quit while they were ahead, instead of becoming this self-parodic dinosaur that doesn't know when to stop. That 2004 s/t album was an embarrassment - dunno which was worse, that or Wild Mood Swings.

[jockojonson17]

@busterabcat 79 - 89 was mostly good except for The Top. That album kind of blew...

[MaLizGa]

He drives me wild when he wears polka dots.

[rhapsodyblue56]

Wow, lovely old pix ! Thank you for uploading ! Robert is gorgeous even when he wears funny cliothes lol And unexpectedly I found the strange hairdo of my dear Simon, omg. The cure forever !

[chetumalkid]

Sorry but, I didn´t see Carnage Visors anywhere and, there was photos with Michael Dempsey when he was already replaced by Gallup, also you used a song from Mixed Up to represent the album Japanese Whispers (even if the intended song´s studio version is on JW. Using Just Like Heaven to represent Kiss me, Kiss me was too obvious when there´s another 16 amazing songs. Anyway, as a true The Cure fan I demand for something more accurate.

[chetumalkid]

The first band I ever was a fan of many, many moons ago...

[chetumalkid]

The first band I ever was a fan of.

[sliwka1977]

great history of The Cure,

[abcdille]

The great period of the The Cure unfortunately ends here (7:45). I miss you a lot!

[asweetdreamnextnight]

@abcdille Bloodflowers is great! and I know its your opinion but i believe the Cure is still amazing! There newer albums havent been like disintigration of course, but maybe Robert Smith Will suprise us

[abcdille]

@asweetdreamnextnight I Really hope you are right and I'll wait for that!

[SSJ2D2]

i'm so happy you used disintegration and from the edge of the deep green sea instead of like, love song and friday i'm in love

[TheHopegiver]

Obviously made by a true fan!!

Thanks for sharing it....:0)

[jemora23]

he looks sooo much better without makeup

[MrGemini28]

What's the song at Bloodflowers?

[Fenner1976]

@MrGemini28 "The Loudest Sound"

[KARENK72886]

nice, just fricken wonderful to hear real music once again! thanks!

[Fenner1976]

Very well edited collection. Thanks for uploading this one, especially at 5.57 when Disintegration kicks in. Best band ever formed, best album ever made.

[hellokittylp]

HOLY SHITthey look so young!!!! and without makeup

[ThePlantine]

Mon idole de jeunesse!!! J'en rêvais la nuit... Moi aussi je l'ai connu étant enfant (vers ans environ) et je n'ai jamais cessé de l'écouter depuis. By the way: tres bonne compilation!

[gimmeshelter72]

This is cool!

[sdb5030]

[manteer]

@sdb5030 lol

[zoobeedoo09]

@sdb5030 No Ben Affleck looks like Robert Smith

[Maggielicious21]

Thankyou so much! I absolutely love this collection.

[Ak1z]

stiill burns

[leopoldogtrrz35]

What version of Fire in Cairo is that cause im going crazy looking for it and its not the peel session. HELP PLEASE!!!

[TheNastyFatMan]

@leopoldogtrrz35 it's on three imaginary boys.

[tdoesntmatter]

Nice job! I would have changed a few things, and stopped after Wish, but you put your heart into this and it's brilliant!

[rosssscow]

smith got fat and unatractive lol

[ihatecurehaters]

@rosssscow HMMMM another Cure troll!!

[alostkachinprod]

thx for this great moment.....

[Eruals]

What's the name of the first song please?

[sodacakeblues]

@Eruals, it's Fire in Cairo

[Eruals]

@sodacakeblues Thanks!

[lopussoul]

AMAZING PICS THANKS!

[sdistk8d]

awsome :)

[Chio95nwfan]

Yeah I think it's so awsome that edward scissorhands looks si much like robert because it's one of my fave movies

[tdoesntmatter]

@Chio95nwfan Edward was modeled to look like Robert. Burton wanted the Cure to do the soundtrack, but they were recording Disintegration at the time.

[skyiscrying53]

great video

[XxDroppingDaylightxX]

The Cure <3

[asweetdreamnextnight]

god robert smith and the cure are just utterly amazing

[lemonkooler]

I enjoyed this video so much :) The journey of the Cure's evolving sounds through the years and also so may wonderful photos, most of which I have never seen before! Thank you for posting such a thoughtful video for the enjoyment of Cure fans everywhere!

[allhull]

@lemonkooler totally agree, im 48 and first saw them supporting siousxie n the banshees ay hull city hall in 79....you can imagine being different musically in HULL back then....now my sons are borrowing my vinyl .....clash,joy division. damned, roses,mondays,carpets.....oh the list goes on...my apologies

[asweetdreamnextnight]

my aunt told me when i was like 4 or 5 she was doing my make up and my brother wanted some. she said "boys dont where make-up and i said robert smith wears ,makeup and she was like who the hell is robert smith!?!?! and i was all like the cure DUH

[gapavida]

Really good precise selection with suprise fotos. Thanks.

[ricchardo]

I said the same thing to Bob as I said to Lorraine Kelly, If you wan't to rock the Max Factor and Rouge lipstick it's much better to have a shave first. It's all about the confidence!! lol.

[oauidapogi]

remember the movie edward scissor hands by johnny depp? i think they copy or imitate the looks of robert smith.

[clod8]

Thanks for the wonderful video. Brings back lots of memories. Robert Smith is actually a very nice person - I met him in LA when I was 15 and then again when I was 17. I met Simon Gallup as well, but only briefly when I was 15.

I also love all the pictures you put in of Robert and Simon as "boyfriends".

[Kah0tika]

Robert Smith a, à mon humble avis, le plus beau visage du monde !!! (en plus de ses talents musikaux)

Kand j'avais 11 ans, je l'adorais ... je vais avoir 40, et il me fait toujours le même effet !!!

[RebelAirplane]

this is cool. robert is so cute. all these songs are so amazing. i hadnt heard fire in cairo or bananafishbones in so long! great stuff! i think i'll be going on a cure binge!

[madrina334]

Thanks for the video. I was just born to late I wish I was a born sooner because all the music I like is all old stuff and real music not like the garbage today.

[frenchyinmunich]

Hi,

Where did you get that bob picture in front of the mixing desk?

Thanks,

f

[uniqueandpolite]

Thanks for this video I had all these albums that is so cool you still have yours.Thanks for all the photos of the band I am totally feeling nostalgic now. I better put on some Poison perfume & light some nag champa followed by a clove cigarette.

[clod8]

@uniqueandpolite Just remember aquanet and fire don't mix very well! (Damn, I remember singeing my beautiful long assymmetrical bangs on my clove cigarettes so many times...)

[Phyle9]

Great historical overview!!

Btw: that version of "The Walk" was not from "Siamese Whispers" but from "Mixed Up" ;-) oh well... who cares? :)

Great video! thx

[arolternell]

Which one is the third song?after A forest

[morex1979]

@arolternell charlotte sometimes

[Phyle9]

@arolternell

"Charlotte Sometimes"

[conservativehippie]

Everytime i hear the song "Push" i start crying. And I'm a grown ass man

[dAvE73906]

Robert Smith = The Cure

[harmsworth]

Oh this s so great!!! I will always love you!!

[rolfeder]

The Cure is really like two bands. One band made Faith, Pornography and Disintegration and another made everything else.

[HACHE82DM]

Hello, what's the title of the song number 5?

[saultie]

Love Cure. But anything after Wish is shite as far as I am concerned . . . That would have been the perfect way to end Cure. "End" is such a great song.

[midnightaria]

@saultie perhaps they should've renamed themselves The Illness" after that? LOL j/k ya i like the early stuff best

[leefoyn]

Nice choice of songs. It's awesome seeing what others would choose from a particular album. Mine would have been different, but I LOVED watching this. Thanks for sharing. .......but.................PUS­H would have made it in mine too....lol....

[natt1205]

I love The Cure forever. <33

The best of the bests. My faaaavourite band. 4ever and ever! Until his death!!!

[andreinapad]

Thank you ^_^

[andreinapad]

Hello, what's the title of the first song ? I don't remember this one.

[LuisCure19]

@andreinapad , Fire In Cairo!!

[CAMELIRO91]

J ADORE <3 <3 . Merci, très bon et très beau montage.

[clovis12324]

From Bloodflowers: The Loudest Sound; From The Cure: Anniversary (I think).

[RIC1ER]

The illness that is the Cure.

[MrGemini28]

Awesome.

[Violetsmilexo]

LOVE THIS! :) Fun to watch, i am a lifelong Cure Girl!

[Maurorammstein]

After The walk is bananafishbones

[pipperoooo]

Nice collection of photos! Love the Cure...ALL of their albums.

[gbr962]

[druckeradam]

[OhSoJazzy51]

[greghol]

Simon Gallup

[OhSoJazzy51]

ty (:

[jewella101]

great work !

[rolfeder]

The Cure is bipolar, I swear. They from dark and moody to manic and cheery every other album.

[freakypurplebrain]

what songs where used in this?

[simionTheOne]

i'd just love it if u could send me the mp3's of

charlotte sometimes

a hundred years

push

song @6.20

strange attraction

&

loudest sound !

[TheNiteNite]

Great pics. I love how they are period specific with respect to the album.

Great work - cheers!!

2:36 says it all (back when he used to sleep in his car!!!)

[MrGoonerforlife]

I was 19 when that song came on

[orochi9]

Can someone list the songs in order for me? Thanks!

[ACureIsLove]

nice =)

@goneshootin22

that song is called 'Push'.

[goneshootin22]

What song was that for The Head on the Door period? It sounded groovy.

[Ragnorok112]

charlotte sometimes was in the faith period

[marcoteloco]

es la mejor musica del mondo

[necaeosomnes]

why do you use charlotte sometimes to the faith period?

[Joszuaprocess]

I've got a soft spot for Pornography, but I have to say Disintegration is their magnum opus. It's one of the few discs where every track is solid gold.

[Yuyis318]

Esa version de bananafishbones me irrita muchísimo

[figurehead89]

es la unica version!

[Yuyis318]

No parer@, yo tengo una que suena más rápida, esa que tu oyes ahi está distorsionada (O será la mia?)

[figurehead89]

debe ser la tuya, por que la version que aparece en este video es la version original del album the top 1984...

[Yuyis318]

Eureka! Se te tiene la explicación:

Es que durante la grabación del CD de 1984, ocurrió un problema técnico, entonces la velocidad y el tono de la canción Bananafishbones quedaron alterados...El tono es más bajo y la velocidad es más lenta de la original...En la edición del 2006 editaron la canción de forma tal que suena como debería...Entonces la versión 'original' vendría siendo la del 2006 (Y la que prefiero, porque esta me irrita)

Gracias Wikipedia

[36degrees1978]

Heavy.This is fantastic,thanks so much for posting it.Who said Robert was ugly? He is so the most beautiful man.

[taroogz]

I am from the philippines and a very big fan of the CURE. this video feature on the uTube certainly relive memories of my high school days with my friends and of course my band (METAL FATIGUE- Eric, Jay, Unat, Jun, Facky). I guess other guys out there are feeling the same way. The CURE's music will live FOREVER!!!

[52873642774766]

Here's all the songs in order and the album it's from :) 1) Fire In Cairo - Three Imaginary Boys 2) A Forest - Seventeen Seconds 3) Charlotte Sometimes - Non-album single 4) One Hundred Years - Pornography 5) The Walk(Remix) 6) Bananafishbones - The Top 7) Push - The Head on the Door 8) Just like Heaven - The Head on the Door 9) From The Edge of the Deep Green Sea - Wish 10) Strange Attraction - Wild Mood Swings 11) Out of this Word - Bloodflowers 12) Before Three - The Cure

[WarlockAshlii]

No, Just Like Heaven is from Kiss me, Kiss me, Kiss me.

[52873642774766]

Oh, I knew that, why did I put The Head on the Door? Thanks for pointing that out. Now if only we could edit comments...

[Felipunk80s]

MAGNIFICO the cure es lo maximo

[normanhathaway]

so eighties.

but amazing.

[gamblerpete]

Eighties, that's why it's amazing. :)

[ElecTriCSidnEy]

wow,a great video <3

[clashinedis]

alguien me podria decir el nombre de la cancion que empieza en el 2:13? por favor

[juanwernicke]

Hundred Years - Pornography

[clashinedis]

gracias

[giababy89]

6:00 what song is that?

[catlar]

It's "Disintegration" from the album with the same name.

[giababy89]

Thx.<3

[sadako80]

Qué grandes!!!

[Marica58Crow]

Whats that song on 4:34..? Love it! <3 if somebody knows, please let me know!

[DJAYPAUSE]

It's called PUSH from Head on the door.

[Alienacionglobal]

It's called "push" from the coolest album of the cure " The head on the door"

[sotschi72]

... schöne Bilder und Musik ... eine Erinnerung ...

[lilavirag]

Happiest days..hm:) ¤

[PequenaAlice]

I have to opine that The Cure is the only band I know that still makes good music after 30 years of success

[mhisk8isapunker]

i like in this video that as far the music goes, the younger the pictures get. like in the beginning there is pictures from the 70's and at the end theres picture from 2000 to 2004.

[reticulis]

What a bad compilation

[ooviedoc]

I never thought a picture like 5.40 ever existed. The 6 Cures of the Kiss Me times together. It's amazing seeing Lol and his eventual replacement. Roger smiling with satisfaction, Lol's unhappy face as half body's out of the picture and Robert/Boris seem to be watching Lol like saying "hasta la vista...baby". What a great picture!!!

[mattcure]

With Simon wearing a hat, and Robert's hair style, it is definitely circa 1989. I know that Lol was kicked out just before they went out on the Prayer Tour.

[BorrarNota]

1989 Disintegration, the best moment of the Cure

[26StagesofDeath]

no way, it had to be pornography

[Lizy415]

Thank you! This is really good! I've been a fan for 15 years and you have pics I've never seen before.

[riverneto]

thanks for posting

[alexcurd]

some pictures are wrong / out of time / place: e.g., gallup was never in 3 imaginary boys, or williams did not arrive until the head on the door album, etc... good effort though

[jwf2166]

THW FIRST SONG IS FIRE IN CAIRO

[tritonol]

What a great overview of their career, thanks for posting

[mhisk8isapunker]

oh, i love the cure.

i even wrote a song about them. well, mostly about robert. ahaha.

[egibberate]

Strangely non-melodic.

Strangely not enjoyable.

Strangely joyless & wooden.

[newgenesis1]

Thanks for posting. Very educational. Still yummy after all these years! lol

[chico280]

OMG I listned to Bloodflowers album over and over during my breakup around the time that album came out. Brought back emotions that I haven't felt in a while..
