What an honour it is to be playing in front of your heroes and to receive that nod of ackowledgement from an icon, Robert Smith is just an icing on the cake. Deftones were blessed and they deserved the warm reception and cheer they got from The Cure. Well played, a little faster than needed but still remarkable enough.
@nosoyallowed828 AFI copied Just Like Heaven, and all they got was a polite smile at the end of the song meanwhile the other members looked unenthused as all hell. Deftones interpreted the cure's "If Only Tonight We Could Sleep" and got a tad more favorable reaction from Robert and co.
Glad chinos voice didnt give him too much shit here (it was particularly damaged around this period) must have meant a lot to him to play infront of the cure like this.
For those that stop by this video, if you have never heard the original, you will be pleasantly surprised to learn how closely this cover resembles the original. Kudos to The Cure for creating a hauntingly dark song that would eventually fit perfectly with the sound that the Deftones have come to be known for. If you are looking for that darker sound by The Cure but are having a hard time finding it, try the album Disintegration.
Deftones would probably have a slower opening. I think the opening bass would feature more prominently with distortion to give a heavier feeling. The Cure has this distant, lonely sound. Deftones would sound/feel wider, bigger I think. I would expect electric guitar as a substitute for the strings. Chino's voice would add quite a different element to it as well. Overall, I don't think they'd stray too far from the original sound like the cover in the video. I'm always down for more covers by Deftones :D
Disintegration is one of my favorite albums of all time..& I’m just stumbling across this cover now, nearly 2 decades after it was recorded, and I never realized how much Chino resembles Robert w his vocals. This kicks asssss..
For the past 35 years i have been a Cure fan. I have only been a fan of the Deftones for 13 years and originally started listening to them because of their love for the Cure. But this song, OMG I love it so much. It might be blasphemy to say this, but I love this version way more than the original. i love the harder edge and the vocal performance so close to Robert's. Great video!
@@NeulichimKanal not sure but its rare to find someone doing an actual awesome cover of a song , just as good as the original artist...I love the cure, btw🖤
Its because you can't improve on perfection. The Deftones proved that cliche wrong, as always. I look at things from a sexually violent point of view, so don't trust my opinion.
I expected my boys to destroy this, and they delivered. Both bands live by "Innovate or Die," so Robert had to be stoked to see what they'd do with it. He looked pretty fucking genuinely happy about it.
If only tonight we could sleep In a bed made of flowers If only tonight we could fall In a deathless spell If only tonight we could slide Into deep black water And breathe And breathe Then an angel would come With burning eyes like stars And bury us deep In his velvet arms And the rain would cry As our faces slipped away And the rain would cry Don't let it end
Wow, fantastic cover and live no less.Robert Smith looked pleasantly surprised. Deftones have been one of best live. Another cover I absolutely love and it's not live is the Chauffeur originally -Duran Duran. Both version are great but their cover is slightly better actually.
One of my fave songs by The Cure. I was kinda pissed of that only Deftones made nice cover. Well congratulations for them. Great job. I miss old MTV icons...Who will be honored now? Bieber when he got old ;/ I hope not...
I would've shitted my pants if Marilyn Manson introduced my band to perform in front of the Cure. I bet that Chino was honored and utter hyped for this. Brilliant Cover!

I saw the cure at UC Davis when they started they're tour for The Head on the Door. They had an ordinary drummer, but then this dude playing a military style baritone drum. It was cool.
cant even remember what year it was,seems so long ago but i saw all the tributes to the cure, and this one was miles above all, hadnt heard any music from deftones but they got my respect taht night
I love to thank The Cure for writing this song for Deftones.
Sorta how NIN wrote hurt for Johnny cash I guess lol

RIP Chi Cheng...you are severely missed
Its like The Cure purposely write this song to be covered by Deftones.
😅👍🏼
I'm pretty sure the cure would have made it sound like this at the time, had technology permitted
The Cure version is flawless
@@fillipemoreira570 The Cure in general is flawless
Cure’s influence on the band plays full circle, it’s one of the best moments for me
THIS is how you cover a song.
This was the only performance that did the cure justice. They even got a smile out of Robert Smith

blinks cover is amazing i think @@_draxin_0514
Sensitive to the original yet they made it their own. Astonishingly good.
deftones can honestly do no wrong in my eyes. This rendition proves that.
Deftones do the ABSOLUTE best covers!
The Chauffeur originally performed by Duran Duran was covered by them and it was perfect!
Their cover of Depeche Modes To Have & To Hold is also fucking epic!!

can i give two thumbs?...i ve been watching this for vid years... can u explain how prayers for rain would sound by a deftones cover??

Disintegration is my favourite song by far, well said comment
Disintegration is one of my favorite albums of all time..& I’m just stumbling across this cover now, nearly 2 decades after it was recorded, and I never realized how much Chino resembles Robert w his vocals. This kicks asssss..
I thought Faith was the darkest album by the cure. isn't it?
Robert Smith ressembles a despot king showing a smirk of semi-approval to his servants...
bronsonlee777 he was kidding hard ass
Chino Moreno haha see you
lol so true
@bronsonlee777 you should realize i meant, this specific video...
I love how they stayed true to the original but made the cover bit darker with more distortion.
Not sure how Chino could sound just like Robert Smith, but this cover is amazing and just as good if not better than the original!!
Chino's voice is quite influenced by Robert Smith and David Gahan as well. Hes not your run of the mill metal or rock singer.
Influenced also by Morrissey and Sade
Biggest influence is sir Robert Smith. This shit must've been crazy for Chino.
3:52 min Robert's face , satisfacción total ❤️ i think Deftones Is so underrated ,they aré Amazinnngggg, This cover sounds like original song
For the past 35 years i have been a Cure fan. I have only been a fan of the Deftones for 13 years and originally started listening to them because of their love for the Cure. But this song, OMG I love it so much. It might be blasphemy to say this, but I love this version way more than the original. i love the harder edge and the vocal performance so close to Robert's. Great video!
It happens. I’m a huge MJ fan but Billie Jean by Cornell is also reeeeeally good.
Deftones killed it!!! Best cover of this song EVER!!!
Are there any others?
@@NeulichimKanal not sure but its rare to find someone doing an actual awesome cover of a song , just as good as the original artist...I love the cure, btw🖤
This is.
The only cover I listened to
See, Robert Smith didn't really look that impressed with the others, but he seemed to really enjoy Deftones cover
Andrew Coates i thought the same thing when I saw his face during afi like he wanted better
Noah Crandall The AFI cover was great though too! Maybe he thought it was too similar to his??
Its because you can't improve on perfection.
The Deftones proved that cliche wrong, as always.
I look at things from a sexually violent point of view, so don't trust my opinion.
All the other covers seemed to be more upbeat versions of the original. This seemed to be the only version that went darker.
Roger is digging it.
slow, dark, creepy... and the voice is about everything!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I have no idea how you could do this any better. Great job Deftones.
Best interpretation ever ...
That intro to the song took more effort then any other song those other bands played. Deftones are amazing!!
Totally! Rip this thing every dang day!
You made it Deftones! I felt the force.
this is the GOAT of covers
NAILED IT
Deftones made an excellent job there.
Never realized how similar Chino and Roberts style is.. good cover
I just listen to this 10 times in a row...chills everytime..
LONG LIVE DEFTONES..
Chills when the vocals start
Deftones are insanely talented
Holy crap I’ve lived under a rock my entire life, this is freaking amazing!
Légendaire ce live ! Sans doute le meilleur de la soirée, tellement intense
what a fucking good cover, played with respect and an idea, really good
NAiled IT... The cure is so tight and disciplined in their craft, Chino and the boys are amazing as well
Holy god in heaven, what I wouldn't have gave to watched this live... Deftones are, without a doubt, my absolute favorite band. I love these guys.
Teddy Holiday Why?! What do you find wrong with Deftones??
Teddy, no YOU are the idiot. Deftones are one of the greatest and most consistent bands there is. Go see an ear doctor.
Teddy Holiday its my favorite band you wankstain
Teddy Holiday please dickhead trace me i could do with a good laugh
Teddy Holiday am i when exactly
Killed this performance dead and buried it in an unmarked grave. Absolutely ridiculous how unbelievably great this was.
one of my favorite Cure songs. Deftones are amazing as well.
that guitar swell at 1:58 is one of the best things i've ever heard.
That parting shot from Robert Smith was priceless!
The Cure giving standing ovations . . . !
I expected my boys to destroy this, and they delivered. Both bands live by "Innovate or Die," so Robert had to be stoked to see what they'd do with it. He looked pretty fucking genuinely happy about it.
Best cover from that night! so haunting and creepy!
Chino sounds just like Robert. That’s crazy
R.I.P Chi Cheng
Deftones are the all time greatest cover band. They make the original almost impossible to listen to again.
Fuk I remember watching this shit on my sofa at home when I was a teen on mtv now I'm 33 holy shiz
Same thing....(((
If only tonight we could sleep In a bed made of flowers
If only tonight we could fall
In a deathless spell
If only tonight we could slide Into deep black water
And breathe
And breathe
Then an angel would come
With burning eyes like stars
And bury us deep
In his velvet arms
And the rain would cry As our faces slipped away
And the rain would cry
Don't let it end
Only cover from this show that was worth listening to......
This whole MTV show was fuckin insane. The Blink track was raw AF too
I remember exactly where I was when I heard this album when it came out. This cover took me right back there.
Best cover ever ❤️
This was awesome. Blown away. They made it their own.
del carajo! Deftones you rule. Magnificent interpretation of an incredible song. Deep, dark, slow, gets into you, tears you... yessssssss...
This is the Best tribute song all times for the cure
History in the making❤🤟 the drummer
Oh my Saint God!... it's an amazing version!
Wow, fantastic cover and live no less.Robert Smith looked pleasantly surprised. Deftones have been one of best live. Another cover I absolutely love and it's not live is the Chauffeur originally -Duran Duran. Both version are great but their cover is slightly better actually.
original brutal la fuerza cuando vez que te esta mirando los the cure
It looks like they were more pleased with the Deftones version of their song than AFI’s.
One of my fave songs by The Cure. I was kinda pissed of that only Deftones made nice cover. Well congratulations for them. Great job. I miss old MTV icons...Who will be honored now? Bieber when he got old ;/ I hope not...
never doubt the almighty Deftones
AFI did a great job too with just like heaven
AFI and Blink actually did well too
I would've shitted my pants if Marilyn Manson introduced my band to perform in front of the Cure.
I bet that Chino was honored and utter hyped for this.
Brilliant Cover!
3:52 Robert's smile 😍
tocar esta canción delante de los creadores y ver que su reacción es así... brutal...
Brutal!
So good. Now off to some Cure
brilliant in every tone.
Now, I like both versions of this song! ❤🖤💜💙💖💝❤️🔥
Very sexy . I could listen to it all day, especially on a rainy day 🌧️🌦️🌌🌠
If only tonight we could sleep
In a bed made of flowers
If only tonight we could fall
In a deathless spell
If only tonight we could slide
Into deep black water
And breathe
And breathe...
Then an angel would come
With burning eyes like stars
And bury us deep
In his velvet arms
And the rain would cry
As our faces slipped away
And the rain would cry
Don't let it end...
Oh man The Cure had to follow these guys.....ouch!
Best cover ever... darker than the original
Fucking awesome cover!! R.I.P. Chi Cheng
This is really good.
Wicked cover..
so much better than placebo version although i dig both bands (cure aswell)
p.s. guy from thumbnail looks like male version of helen from ladytron
The thumbnail guy is Roger O'Donnell! The Cure's keyboardist.
I saw the cure at UC Davis when they started they're tour for The Head on the Door. They had an ordinary drummer, but then this dude playing a military style baritone drum. It was cool.
Manson’s intro scream was good too.
awesome cover!!!
Perfect job, Really really good. regards!!
Why I only discover this now >.< Amazing cover, I was struck about how Robert and Chino's voice share similarities....
His biggest vocal influence. Crazy right? Chinos the man. Reppin the 80s new wave
Best cover ever
I LOVE this cover.
A qué pinche canción tan sexy' 🕯️
The best i🤟👌👍n bunch
After this...The Cure want to do a cover of Deftones cover of The Cures' song
Deftones can play any style they want & fn own
#deftonesporvida

cant even remember what year it was,seems so long ago but i saw all the tributes to the cure, and this one was miles above all, hadnt heard any music from deftones but they got my respect taht night
Great alt bands and alt artist hosting.
Shout out to the sound guy. This is a better mix than the version on b-sides. In this shitty quality.
I want to hear this mix in flac.
Wow! Magnífica versión. Como dijeron x ahí, casi como que esta canción hubiese sido escrita para ser interpretada algún día x Deftones. Gran conexión.
danke für diesen fetten song von the cure, selten eine geilere cover-version von überhaut einer band gehört, thank you für diesen musikalischen genuß
Still awesome
