  • Yeah its every couples favorite song until the bitch dumps you hahah!

  • @pot4tots truth

  • God I FUCKIN love this song!

  • Guaauu, ¡menudo pildorazo! El tema de The Cure, magnífico; la versión de los dinosaurios..., una fuerza de la naturaleza. ¡Dale, daleeeee!

  • Better than the original!

  • J Mascis > EVH. Because SOMEBODY needed to admit it.

  • @notoriouszig quality comment

  • DYNAMIC WAH ENTRY. Excellence.

  • desde chile muy buena banda dinosaur jr. ojala algún dia den una vuelta por acá.

  • desde chile muy buena banda algún día deberían darse alguna vuelta por acá....

    grande dinosaur jr!!

  • hey you check outmy chanel I've made a cover of this song

  • dinosaur jr cover is the best cover of this song

  • @greendog105 the best cover of this song is by davey havoks band afi. robert smith from the cure saw afi perform the song on MTV and said "I pop the video in, and wow... Tears welling, silence, goose-bumps... Wow. [I felt like] I just lost my girlfriend, because that song isn't mine anymore... It really made me think about how powerful music is as a medium and art form"

  • @BOKNOWSCOMPUTERS well I REALLY doubt it

  • @BOKNOWSCOMPUTERS you do realize afi is one of the shittiest, poppiest, bubble gum bands of the century, and deserve no respect at all? by the way i dont know where you got the bullshit quote from but in an interview robert smith said he favorite cover was dinosaur

  • @nymetsrock a fire inside

  • @BOKNOWSCOMPUTERS Probably late to reply to this but that quote is from Trent Reznor about Johnny Cash's version of hurt. Fucking scene kids...

  • Can't compare to the original.

  • @JaveDMode afi did it better than dinosaur jr. who did it better than the cure

  • @BOKNOWSCOMPUTERS I never trust a deaf man's opinion on music.

  • @JaveDMode davey from afi is music to my ears

  • @JaveDMode davey havok

  • Quel chitarrista è un fenomeno nell'uso del pedale wah-wah. Molto istintivo ma molto efficace. (ITALIAN)

  • Quel chitarrista è un fenomeno nell'uso del pedale wah-wah. Molto istintivo ma molto efficace.

  • @kamakazim And yet, ironically, you DID compare the two! ;)

  • I prefer the AFI cover!!

  • @kamakazim the early afi shit isnt horrible but its not that great at a certain album ther music just got supper shity so i agre with u dinosaur jr is way better im js

  • ¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡creazy

  • A.F.I. Sounds like they are doing a cover of a shitty cover band doing a cover of The Smiths covering The Cure.

  • The cure did it better

  • The whole reason of doing a *COVER* is to recompose it in a way that makes it their own... because cloning the sound of the original would be pointless!

    Good examples are Jimi Hendrix's version of Bob Dylan's "All along the Watchtower" and Johnny Cash's take of Nine Inch Nail's "Hurt". They're the same songs, but redone in a way that adds their personality to it!

    IMO Dinosaur Jr. does this cover admirably!

  • Thumbs up if you love the Portugal. the Man add!!!!!!

  • Wow this is just terrible.

  • Too much guitar effect and too much wah and too much tremolo effect... this is just overly effected and too much noise... it sucks.

  • @Nercrophage EXACTLY. Not liking this video does not equate with not liking Dinosaur Jr, folks.

  • @kamakazim Fuck off. AFI Completely trounces Dinosaur Jr. AFI Is FAR from overproduced, they're artists and they try new things, i'd say Dinosaur Jr is complacent... You are either deaf or stupid, you choose.

  • Comment removed

  • @Nercrophage When was the last time any1 heard anything about AFI? If they were as great as their fans claim, they would still b talked about. U still hear about The Ramones, The Clash, The Cramps & they're dead. No 1 cares about AFI anymore except the rare few who don't want 2 embarrass themselves 4 saying AFI is the greatest. AFI was just another dime a dozen pop band who gave themselves the label "punk" to make money off the suckers. Now go back to Hot Topic & keep believing you're hardcore.

  • @TheKamikazeMartian actually their early stuff is punky. i'd put them as hardcore but they sold out miserably so they didn't give themselves the label, they did have a reason. listen to he who laughs last. i do agree with you though.

  • @nikt I think if you ever have to fit your music into a category then that is selling yourself out. Realize a label is a brand. You'd probably go listen to the Wipers and call them sell outs for coming out with an album like "Silver Sail" because it doesn't fit your idea of punk rock.

  • @whostruehue not really if an album doesn't fit my idea of punk rock then i simply don't call it punk rock i'm not ashamed to say that i like some pop music like i'm not ashamed to say i like shoegaze or rap. and no i don't tend to like the labelling, however it is there and it's an easy way define bands. as for selling out compare songs such as the nephilim and bleed black, 2 albums right after each other - very different songs the latter coming out conveniently when emo was huge.

  • @whostruehue oh different labels too. to suddenly change your style from one album to the next when a fashion is popular and changing labels is a little too coincidental for me. not saying there was no pressure from the new label but hey that's how you get the sell out tag.

  • great...........

  • still cool tho.. thanks dr j

  • @kamakazim AMEN!

  • Comment removed

  • wtf is afi?

    

  • AFI's singer may be on the girlie side but listen to that shit man. They did it flawless

  • @infernalBK33 lol that singer looks gay

  • Most underrated and overlooked groups of my life time.. DINO J ROCKS!!

  • the afi version is actually horrendous

    i mean come on, watch that fucking guy, he's a whiney tween girl, who keeps playing with her hair and acting all dramatic, i feel like he's an abercrombie model, but emo, whats that store, where its basically an abercrombie for people who have no friends but still want to feel wealthy and spoiled

    also, who the hell is taking back sunday

  • @nymetsrock Troll.

  • damn, this was pretty cool. i would like to thank an inividual who recommended them to me. :)

  • wuts afi?

  • @igothemdiabetiesinme some kind of band, i dunno if ive heard anything by them though...

  • can anyone explain to me what trolling is?

  • HEY LOOK!!

    I'm trolling.

  • is j mascis using a modded wah?

  • CLUUUUUUUUUUUUHHHHHHHHHHHHHHGG­GGGIIIIIIIIIIIIINNNNNNNNAAAAAA­A

  • eyesadrifter: GOOD SHIT MAN... THANKS!

  • かっこいい♪

  • @kamakazim time may change me but i can't chase time

  • It rocks!

  • dinosaur jr is a great band, afi is a great band. i like both covers, personally i like afi's cover a little better because it sounds more like the original, but that's just me. i'm not an emo, not really much of anything actually though i prefer punk rock. my question is, why y'all gotta hate?

  • @dtice69 because if you leave everything the way it is then people will think theres nothing wrong with anything and we can never improve the place where we live, its like customizing something, i want everyone to know afi is a shitty emo band and that way maybe one day i wont live in a world where they are mentioned

  • @nymetsrock i get what youre saying but honestly i just dont care that much about music to be a part of it. i listen to a lot of punk rock and all i hear is bitching all day long about the good old days. i like afi's old stuff, not a fan of their emo stuff, but i can say that i think that their cover of this song was sublime and a great cover dedicated to a great band. what baffles me is this war between afi fans and dinosaur jr fans over which version is better, its kinda pathetic and pointless

  • @dtice69 last time i checked this is a dinsoaur jr video, i dont go on afi videos and whine like a girl having her first period, just like about every emo afi fan, so if they come on to the video we're watching and diss it, i will insult them every which way, and to be honest, i doubt emo kids have any sort of intelligence level so i'll probably win

  • What is AFI? Serious question.

  • This cover is way too short. I want it to be at least twenty minutes long!

  • @kamakazim dino has definitely been through the wringer with different sounds man, and obviously we all like some a lot more than others. i don't really dig anythign they've done snce getting the original lineup back together... at least they changed because they grew up as people, instead of pulling an afi and going from a rad hardcore band to an electronic transvestite festival

  • I can listen to this sappy love song and still be a hardcore punk! this is one of henry rollins fav bands. Fuck you emo kids this wasnt made for you!!!

  • @pot4tots i agree with u man. it wasnt made for emo kids cus this kind of music happens to have real emotion not fake sadness like emos tend to do. i mean i dont see whats up with the whole modern trend these days. i was born in 92 so that makes me 18 and i still have a 90s style going on just regular clothes i guess u would call it nothing outrageous like kids nowadays

  • @DrFrylock yeah fuck this modern shit im 16 and i hate all of the trendy modern garbage no passion behind any of the what they call "music" its all computer generated. All i do that could be considered over the top in some circles witth my clothes is that i put patches on my jackets n shit but its of my favorite punk bands so whatever. hahaha

  • @pot4tots whatever floats ur boat man, as long as its not being an apathetic teenager haha.

  • @kamakazim

    What is an AFI? Izzat like an insurance company or a college football team or somethin?

  • @kamakazim who the hell is afi ?

    so glad i live in europe

  • There is no wah like J's wah.

  • Robert Smith's personal favourite is the cover recorded by American alternative rock band Dinosaur Jr .Smith said, "J. Mascis sent me a cassette, and it was so passionate. It was fantastic. I've never had such a visceral reaction to a cover version before or since" and even said the cover has "influenced how we play it live".

  • @Happymealify

    nice!

  • @Happymealify

    "Visceral reaction"... heh. I didn't understand that. Really

  • @Happymealify That says it all. Thank You.

  • I got fired for playing this version at an emo club! haha j rules can't wait to see him this year.

  • wah wah pedal abuse, yeah!

  • best live track ever heard

  • WWWWAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHDEEEDLYD­OOO

  • @kamakazim dinosaur have changed a shitloads, every good artist does. it's not about doing the same shit over and over, would be fucking boring right. its just to keep on making good music.

  • if only the american invasion of the middle east was like this! all love and noise and fun instead of bombs and hate and death

  • @PACMANxxxbones I guess I wouldn't mind it if you said Dinosaur Jr, because everyone has there own taste about this, but The Cure now? Are you really saying AFI is better then the fuck cure..? God I can't wait till you turn 19 and get a real taste of music

  • I just want to know what the pink thing is

  • that wah wah is sick :(

  • such a good cover

  • @JohnnyLovely2

    This is better than The Cure version.

  • shite -

  • Listen to that fucking bass!

  • thats goood

  • Wow that's a powerful rendition of this lovely lovesong by TheCure :)

    Great cover version!!

  • I'd just like the point out that Robert Smith has said on numerous occasions that this is his favorite cover of the song, and that Dinosaur Jr has in fact influenced how The Cure performs the song live. Don't know much about AFI, hadn't ever heard of them before, but I wasn't a big fan of their cover. I wasn't offended by it or anything, but I didn't dig it. Then again, I like this version way more than the original, which the AFI version was a near copy of.

  • @mrskittles08 I wish i could see the cure and dinosaur jr play this song together on stage.Now that would would be sweet.

  • better than AFI period

  • AFI=A Fire Inside (another band). I love this version, wished they ended it better.

  • What the fuck is an AFI?

  • Even AFI would probably agree that this version is better. So pussy little AFI fans, gtfo or stfu.

  • I always thought that this was a good cover because they took this song and made it their own, i don't think when you cover a song your suppose to sound like the original.

  • Ok... I guess this is alright, but I don't think his voice is suited for this song... Eh...

  • J. Mascis freaked that gtr solo real nice

  • Dinosaur Jr and AFI shouldn't even be spoken about in the same universe.

  • AFI < Dino Jr...in every way.

  • dude this isnt even close to AFI's verson the vocals are so dead, the guitar is cool though

  • I know this can never be compared to Daveys amazing voice i can even sing better than this dude no ofence to the fans thought

    :> BTW Im scared to sing :( if i wasnt scared id be amazing

  • well now having watched the AFI version I can confirm this is far better but then this Dinosaur Jr and the're awesome. A great cover should not mimic the original which the AFI one does, it should take the song and be made into that bands own. A great example would J. Cash and hurt a by far and away better version of the NIN classic. Oh and for those of you who think J mascis is original try listening to Neil Young....

  • i think the beatsteaks one is better by far!!!

  • Ah, to the haters, someday you'll grow up to find that the world is not all sweetness and light and pretty dress-up bands. To each his own--if humor and passion isn't your thing, so be it. This is the shit. Period.

  • Comment removed

  • @hahafail3393 Your missing the point, Dinosaur Jr. was arguably the first band to say screw sensibilities and crank it up to 11.  They made it ok for an alternative rock band to shred and use over the top effects. They took the mold, said fuck this shit, smashed it then set it on fire. Id would be willing to bet AFI lists Dinosaur Jr. as an influence.

  • @hahafail3393 afi fucking sucks get ur trolling faggot bs out of here no one wants to hear it. if u dont like the song dont fucking listen to it aND KEEP YOUR PUSSY COMMENTS TO YOURSELF YOU FUCKING FLAMER. i hope your face melts. Love me

  • @hahafail3393 Dear Douchebag. I noticed your rather rage-filled comment posted below, and i just thought i'd say, please keep these kinds of negative comments to people who give a shit, and with all due respect, please go fuck yourself. Signed, -None of your Business

    P.S. I would be glad to stab you in the ears with knives, or anything else for that matter. Have a nice day. :)

  • great

  • @44baker4life Yeah I know this song is by the cure, but what the hell did AFI with this song?! they ruined it!

  • @JustinStarbuck lolol okay? xD That still doesn't change the fact that this cover is fuckinggg aawwwfullll

  • @goldgun1000 Don't be such a pussy. P.S. It's a wah-wah pedal.

  • @Tfr3sh17 such a pussy? the pedal is fine... but not over-used like it is in this song..

  • I've just found out why everyone's discussing AFI, and I've listened to their cover of this track; it's terrible compared to this one! Time to listen to Katie Melua and find out who's cover's the best!

  • please help me!

    what is an AFI ??

  • @Deutscherjoel i just gotta say your completely rite...im a huge cure fan but im only 15? aha and i guess im considered a whiny emo faggot, but lots of people are aware that alternative paved the way for so much in so little time that its been around...

  • The cure cover :-)

  • @0123beachboy fuck you this is grime!

  • I love all the whiny emo-band fans posting on this video without an ounce of respect towards three of the people that made their godawful MP3 collection possible.

    Without the alt-rock bands of the late 80s/early 90s, you'd still be listening to Bon Jovi and Warrant.

    You're welcome.

  • @deutscherjoel bon jovi and warrant own though so idk what your point is

  • @deutscherjoel i second that!! so susinctly put :o)

  • @deutscherjoel I think without the Wipers alot of those alt-rock bands wouldnt exist...or be even that good. Except for the Melvins...

  • @banjopaintsgerl0 evolution

  • @deutscherjoel Being 36, I can still listen to some Bon Jovi, but J Mascis and Dino Jr rock, that's for sure. Aaaw yeah.

  • haha at 1:56 he looks like he's blowing the microphone! this is a band full of old petafiles!!

  • Love Dinosaur Jr. Love this cover.

  • @Devoted2Mariah i know right, i mean when you do a cover you have to do it exactly the same as the original version, not put your own spin on a song you love, seriously, paying homage to a band by showing how much you love their song would only make sense if you parrot it right back at them exactly the same way they did it to begin with because the first band never heard it that way before.....

  • also people seem pretty divided over afi or dino. i like afi's album black sails in addition to their pre 2000 hardcore stuff, but i doubt most afi fans on this video have listened to anything other than their latest dump, "crash love".

  • why do people who like the cure think of robert smith as a god?? he's a lazy fat fuck who looks so emo wit his lipstick **fag**

  • @AFIxKillingxLights How do you live with yourself? You are a very rude person:( Shame on you

  • @Skellington383 yuupppp yup yup yup :)

  • @AFIxKillingxLights

    HAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHA

    Yes Robert Smith is totally emo. Not that emo(in its current state) was invented some 20 years after The Cure was looking like they do. Also the fact that you use the word fag just instills the fact that you are 12, ignorant, and annoying..

  • @patod100 15 thankuverymuch!!

  • @AFIxKillingxLights So, even more embarrassing.

  • the other guitarist or bassist, when he sings on the microphone it looks like he's blowing it hahaha. uuggghhhhh, the long haired ugly fuck and his little whammy pedal

  • @AFIxKillingxLights buzz off tranny basher

  • @Afireinside912 you find me one motherfucker who can shred and moan like mascis. you're an idiot.

  • @Afireinside912 aint that the fucking truth!

  • Comment removed

  • @daltoni7

    Yeah because Dinosaur JR sucks so much.

  • @Afireinside912

    Bet you also suck much you crazy old horse belching skank. And AFI's cover is really bland. The hanging garden was a great cover, but I doubt you two clowns ever heard about it. Because it is nonsthecool with the new emo crowd AFI belongs to. Really is a bitch, ain't it?

  • @blackadder733

    Actually I have.

    And actually the only emo band is Dinosaur Jr. Whiny ass wrist cutters.

  • @Afireinside912

    no, you haven't. You don't care about good music, you only like these bands because they get your pussy wet with their grown man wearing makeup looks.

  • @blackadder733

    No i get your moms pussy wet.

  • Comment removed

  • @Afireinside912 you say dinosaur jr. is an emo band. you are a FUCK. this is real music.so go listen to billy talent or some other shitty music. 

  • @muskie4301

    Such a good comeback when I have never heard of Billy Talent.

  • @Afireinside912 you have never heard of billy talent eh? so sorry cave dweller!

  • @muskie4301

    And you just dissed them... wow you need some help.

  • @Afireinside912 i know mongoloid. billy talent sucks piss.

  • @daltoni7 AGREED!

  • @daltoni7

    hahaha....that was great!

  • @daltoni7 what do you mean? which one do you mean? i think afi are almost one gazillion times better
