- Robert Smith, curator of the 2018 Meltdown, discusses putting together his festival, discovering new music, and the oddness of being considered a legend.
Robert Smith's Meltdown was the 25th edition of Southbank Centre's annual contemporary music festival, staged in the heart of London. As well as Smith and CUREATION-25, the festival featured performances from Nine Inch Nails, Manic Street Preachers, Deftones, Placebo, Death Cab For Cutie, Mogwai, The Libertines, My Bloody Valentine and The Psychedelic Furs.

I wish he'd do more interviews. The guy is so damn charming.
There are loads on youtube from all over the years.
@@NiKOliDANBURSKi I mean now, like retrospectives. But thanks for the suggestion.
Yea I love hearing him talk, I share a lot of the same views as him too.
He´s a genius. That´s what he is.
@@Miblive Agreed, 4,000%.
Best poet in music history. Why nobody ever mentions that is beyond me
Hung out with Robert and his Parents and the band for a couple of days nearly 20 years ago. Nicest people in the world. Super proud memories.
Omg what did you talk about
Oh my goodness that's incredible
@ruperradar7424 I am truly happy for you.
Robert you are a Legend and we need more of you in the music scene.
How old are you?
He’s perfect
He's such a lovely human being. And yes, he is a Legend. A true international treasure.
Live forever, Robert! You are always young for thousands! You are the inspiration💞
I love this man so much🖤🖤🖤🖤
I was one of thousands of people walking around Southbank Centre with a huge smile on my face. My favorite person as Curator, my two favorite bands, The Cure and The Twilight Sad, along with so many other great bands. I was in heaven!! Robert Smith you did a fantastic job!! Southbank Centre, it was great to be there!!
Love that man
The blooper at the start has me crying 😂😂😂
Way to go Robert! You're the man!
My love for ever ROBERT SMITH !!!!
I love Robert Smith!!! The Cure for life!
Chino from deftones has always said the cure were one of his biggest influences🤟
Sort of a musical Hero's Journey. This is the stage where the hero is bringing the prize back home, in this case, to a younger generation. Hopefully, the cycle repeats.
Legend.
Gracias the cure por tanto te amamos vamos por más...
Music is like a time machine. It takes you from the present to the memory of what was happening when a song is playing. 💕
The best. A unique style, zero blasé, a musical genius and a real INFLUENCER, much before this thing called internet...
He is so positive and unproblematic! Long life!!!
Robert Smith is the real deal among thousands of legendary musicians out there. He means what he says and he is my all-time greatest HERO for sure.
Absolutely stunning!! I love him!! ♥♥♥
Long live Rob Smith : )
The beginning has me in tears haha
Love you, Robert
I love you, Robert ❤️
Hi Robert , love u long time x
Robert Smith, muse of my teenage years
My favorite artist since middle school. Fucking legend! Love you Robert Smith! 💙
how have i not seen this before? i absolutely love him
Love you Robert!
i'm so glad he's doing good and everything i love him so much
"God what a legend!"
Love love love 💕

I'm low key royally pissed I missed the Cure, Nine Inch Nails, and My Bloody Valentine (and I guess Mogwai too) all playing in the same place. I was sure the universe would explode in the wake of such an event. I thank God, though, that such a conceivable thing actually happened. It makes me happy that many of my heroes are my other hero's heroes. Example, Trent Reznor once said that "The Head on the Door" is one of the best records ever made.
The musical time-machine. Spot-on!
I'm starting to think that our physical bodies are our time machines, powered by the 'magic' of life.
So damn thankful for everything you are a part of and for every chance to hear your opinions....love you and THE CURE for over 30 years. Seen you at RED ROCKS and again in St Louis ....dream come true x 2
LEGEND!!!!! ♥♥♥♥
Robert was in between days during this interview😉😉😉😊. I LOVE the Cure
An angel 🖤
What a great concert! Wish I could have been there
Lovely! ♡
yes! we need to see more of him !
Whenever I watch an interview with Robert Smith I feel like I've walked into my local after a crap trip away and found the brilliant bloke in the corner with the mad hair and thank fuck I'm home
beautifully put together interview - thank you so much.
Es hermoso aún cuando es viejo ♥♥!!!
Right on!
mi amor imposible Robert❤
He was the cure-ator
I ❤️ U Robert Smith you’re just sooo darn lovable!!
Mi único amor.
I wish Siouxsie was as active musically as Robert
Concrete Blonde and Johnette Napolitano were/are far more musically talented...from those days, than Siouxie ever dreamed of being ...but to each their own.
I'm still waiting for her comeback, I hope it happens
5,437 miles separate "Hollywood" from London. Two different bands in two entirely different countries. Concrete Blonde, not so successful and not so appealing overall. Stuck in "talented" land to this day. Meanwhile, Siouxsie is not dreaming about much of what you fuss over. Her image is on t-shirts across the globe. Her make-up and dance moves are still relevant. Johnette? Not so much, and only mildly popular within reach of KROQ in LA, at best.
Talbot Eric Ouch!
@@MelissaMinton1 You ARE joking, right?
Fabulous
L O V E
God I wish I had been there. The Cure and Deftones are two of my favourite bands
Robert i can assure you that you personally are a fukin GEM!!!!GOD bless you!!
btw-DEFTONES!!
So is he 60 now? Doesn't look it looks younger. Music still great too
Such a humble, down to earth guy--even with the makeup!
My dream would to get the Cure members from the mid eighties Smith, Gallup , Williams, Thompson, Tolhurst and go back to 1986 and re create that famous concert at the theatre Antique d,Orange in France. The most profound and etherial concert they ever did.
im melting
🖤🖤🖤🖤

Nice document
♡♡
Who is the band with the blonde female singer at 1:15?
seats are for movie theatres not concert venues.
Can anyone tell me what band starts playing around the 1:15 mark??
The band is Yonaka and the song is F.W.T.B.
59, where does the time go
No one was sitting 😂😂
0:00
😅😜
The Furs!!!!!! The Church were missing but it’s ok!
robert looks a little thinner. great!
John Velarde well you never know if he's sick I mean he is getting kinda dusty *no offense*
Myra Hale oh trust me he was way dustier 2 years ago, now he’s way more lively
ABC 123 Dusty? How do you look dusty? Maybe it’s powder or something
anyone know the name of the song playing during the intro of the video?
I believe it would be disintegration
@@vivianklever6427 Thank you!
He's 60 in April
No better than RS
Name of the opening song? Been searching endlessly for it.
Disintegration by The Cure
🐾🐾 🃏
This guy definitely can't be accused of not sticking with "a look."
Bobby is getting oldddd
Granny smith
Seems like Granny smith wants to give more opportunity to women........ as if there never was any.....
...and he doesnt play schecter - thank god!
He's a great guy indeed... nevertheless, time to get rid of the make-up and necklaces. Starting to resemble my grandma a bit to much for anyone's good 😊
Don't forget to give him a backpack full of food
What? 🤣
