@@dougalguthrie7209 I support this 100% I was a little too young to have witnessed these bands in their prime, but I'm hyped to see them get props across generations.
I drove up from Baltimore to see the RnR HOF ceremony and I had a ball. I have been a diehard Cure fan since I was 15 and I am now 52. It was really cool to see many of the band members and to hear Robert acknowledge Matthieu Hartley, Phil Thornalley, and the late Andy Anderson and their contributions to the band. It was nice to additionally see Andy Anderson get an acknowledgement as one of the many performers who passed within the last year during the Hall's memoriam segment. It was a little sobering to hear 'Shake Dog Shake' knowing that Andy is no longer with us. He played this song exceptionally well on the Top album. I knew it was a pipe dream, but I was still hoping that Robert may play with some of the past band members at the ceremony. Oh well, it didn't happen but I thought the current lineup sounded fine. The guys got a huge ovation and my section and the crowd was going crazy singing along. I thought Trent Reznor was spot on when mentioning the rabid fanbase of the Cure. I often feel like Robert really does not truly get how much he and his bandmates have impacted many folks with these songs and albums.
i'm so jealous! i'm only down in jersey and i wasn't able to arrange to be there for it (hence why i'm now binge-watching everything i can find on here). but as far as i'm concerned, this was the highlight of the night!! between trent reznor's intro and the cure's set ... i'm a happy camper now :)
Love what Simon's moves have become over the years. Kind of like a goth my little pony having "galluping" fits of excitement around the stage and making up for the rest of the band who have always been pretty static. Still the coolest bass player with the longest bass strap and the best sound around!
I’m 59 and have been a Cure fan since seeing the Just Like Heaven video on MTV over 30 years ago. My three daughters surprised me with a ticket to the ceremony, so I flew up to NY from Louisiana. It was awesome seeing The Cure for the fourth time. Everything about their induction segment was great! Maybe it’s just me, but from where I was (Section 221) the ovations for The Cure seemed louder than anyone else’s. Either way, for this Louisiana Cure fan, it was an amazing evening! Can’t wait for their new album and North American tour.
nochab09 Wow, what a cool gift from your children. You are correct re: the ovation for the Cure. I, too thought the ovation was the loudest for the Cure. I was sitting in section 173 and as I stated previously, my section was very loud during Robert’s speech and their set.
@Allow me Hey buddy, I was thinking of you when they opened w/Shake Dog Shake. We have talked quite a bit through the years of Andy's contribution and time in the band and this period of the Cure. I was floored when I heard that Andy had passed. Really was initially bummed when I read that Andy, Phil, and Matthieu were not being inducted in w/the rest of the guys. Thought it was so cool that Robert acknowledged these three. It was really cool to hear the reception that the band got and to see so many in my section and throughout Barclays singing and dancing along to the songs. Just a very cool night and glad that I got to experience it. Thank God to the persons posting all this cool content of all the inductees and the sets. Between the two of us, I was really hoping for some reunions of the past lineups. I would have been done if Boris got behind the kit and Pearl could have played the guitar once again. However, it was not meant to be. Still great to see all the guys on stage again. Take care and long live the Cure!!!!
Andy Anderson~Rest Ïn Peace & Rock & Drums & Your Passionate ❤️ Vibes. "The Cure Live in Japan" with Andy Drumming & "Shake Dog Shake" to open will always Howl, a forbringer of "The Cure in Orangé". Hope Your TH-cam Channel Stays Up! ❤️🌀Andy!!, dtf🕴Chicago įŁ Ps, Min C's TH-cam Channel ROX!
Many thanks for sharing! Here's the setlist with its respective timing: 1. Shake Dog Shake 00:38 2. A Forest 05:12 3. Lovesong 12:19 4. Just Like Heaven 15:52 5. Boys Don't Cry 19:46
The Top has always been one of my favorite Cure albums. I agree that it often gets overlooked. Birdmad Girl and Piggy in the Mirror have those endless layers of melody that The Cure can seamlessly weave together better than anyone. Bananafishbones is pure psychedelic brilliance. So many outlandishly strange and completely catchy songs on that album. I feel almost guilty that I love The Top so much because Simon is one of my favorite bass players of all time, and really his bass was what absolutely drew me in the first time I ever heard the Cure- and he's not on The Top. Aside from the brilliant drums it's pretty much all Robert Smith in beast mode on that one. It's funny though how Simon-like the basslines are on that album.
I Love The Cure since i was a young boy wearing dark clothes in 1981... and now that i'm 51 i feel grateful to this band and to Robert Smith which accompanied most of my life helping me become a man... *Long live The Cure!* Can't wait to see you again in Italy in june at the Firenze Rocks Festival
Wonderful performance! As a young person trying to find meaning and belonging in the world in the 80's and 90's, the Cure's music allowed for introspection in the quiet times and joy in the fun times. Their songs are so multi-layered, so deserving!
discovered The CURE in 1985 in england, I was 13th, since ever the best cure of the world, mat them in Bordeaux, and 30 years after just amazing, awesome group! thousands of thank tou so much
They totally killed it! The best I've heard them live in a long time. Robert sounds great, powerful energy! As a fan since the mid 80's I'm really proud of them, and in the induction speech Robert did thank the fans. As those of you who were fans in high school like I was, this is really cool because it's validation for The Cure, for us as fans, and fans of 80's new wave, which is so rad and everyone knows it now! Robert and the boys are STILL crushing it today!
@cheranguista , Robert Thanks Andy Anderson in His CURE Induction speech preceding this set & Trent Reznor's CURE Induction Introduction to Rock & Roll Hall of Fame BRILLIANT Speech.
Thanks to all the kind Cure lovers who watched and left comments. I go to every show I can, and get there at 7 am or pay as much as I can to be up front, though I don’t usually take videos. I try to stay in the moment and enjoy the experience and interaction with Simon and Jason who are always very sweet to me. Apologies for excessive camera motion, again I try to enjoy the performance and deliberately don’t hold watch the show in my phone (defeats the purpose of being there), and the people in front of me suddenly stood up when they recognized their more popular songs. When I attended the band’s rehearsal the night before (during which photography was not allowed), I realized so many of the “usual suspects” who so often eclipse me in terms of opportunities to spend time with the band (as a single female I must be a groupie, and cannot be taken seriously, right?), had failed to understand the importance of this event and would not be in attendance and therefore not posting videos- so I thought I’d better do so, because I know I’d want to watch if I couldn’t attend. A professional version will air on HBO in April, so critics can look forward to that. Love to all Cure fans 💋❤️💋
A Forest is still the bands testament that opening guitar when the bass and synth comes is biblical. Smith, Gallup, Tolhurst, Hartley seventeen seconds lp 1980.
I remember buying Kiss Me Kiss Me Kiss Me on cassette in 87’ just to listen to Just Like Heaven. I had no idea the effect this album would have on my life as it lead to Kroq, Depeche Mode, The Smiths. Like many of the other commenters here I can’t imagine my life without their music.
God, I wish I was there to witness that. I've been a long time fan since Boys Don't Cry. It was super cool of them to have started their set with Shake Dog Shake. A NICE tribute to Andy Anderson. The Rock and Roll Hall got it right this year by inducting them AND Roxy Music (!!!!!), the Zombies and Radiohead in the same year. This was the best set of inductees in years!!
Thank you for posting! The Cure has been my favorite band since the first time I heard them. Like Mr. Reznor, my first experience of The Cure was hearing The Head on the Door 100 times in a row. Then promptly snagging up a copy of The Cure in Orange on VHS and then everything else they'd ever done. The Cure have been an enormous inspiration to me as a musician, they provided the soundtrack to my awkward teenage years, and the whole spectrum of emotions from my first kiss to the first time my heart was broken are still all tangled up in those songs as vivid as ever. The Cure had that spectrum covered and they were the band that truly woke me up to the devastating and wonderful power of music and for that I will always love them.
@@filipematias5127 Simon is definitely the most animated one on stage at any given live show, but he's noticeably more animated than usual for this set.
@@MonkyMonk729 for a band that was and i suppose is ‘anti-establishment’ something like getting into the HOF they never would’ve dreamt of it. While they knew they were a great band, i think they felt they never really got the recognition they deserved. Easily one of the greatest bands of all time
**IT'S ABOUT DARN TIME THIS HAPPENED! TO ONE OF MY TOP 5 BANDS OF "ALL" TIME!! I'VE WORSHIPPED THEM FOR 33 YEAR'S NOW (SINCE THE AGE OF 13). THEY GOT ME THROUGH 3 YEARS OF SHEER TRAUMATIC HELL IN HIGH SCHOOL. MY STYLE WAS TOTALLY INFLUENCED BY ROBERT SMITH, SIOUXSIE & JOAN JETT. I WOULDN'T BE ALIVE, IF IT WEREN'T FOR THEM. EVEN WROTE A POEM, DEDICATED TO THEM. THAT I PERFORMED AT ONE OF MY SPOKEN WORD SETS. THEY LITERALLY "CURE" ME. HOW CAN YOU EVEN BEGIN TO THANK. A BAND WHOM HAS GIVEN YOU HOPE & LIFE? SADLY, I'VE NEVER BEEN ABLE TO SEE THEM LIVE YET :( TO THOSE READING MY COMMENT. COUNT YOURSELVES IMMENSELY LUCKY. IF YOU'VE BEEN ABLE TO. "MASSIVE" SHOUT OUT TO THE PERSON WHOM RECORDED & POSTED THIS! WATCHING NOW; MAKING MY SATURDAY NIGHT STUPENDOUS!**
At a smallish former Disco in Cherry Hill NJ called Emerald City...the Cure played their First Ever show in North America....April 10 1980. From there to here....it has been a joyous ride. Thanks for so many years of great and groundbreaking music!!!
They sound as good as they ever did! Saw them in '89 during their Disintegration tour, and I'm truly hoping they'll cross the pond with their 30th anniversary Disintegration tour!
The Cure AGAIN... showing why they’re the best Live Band the 80s ever knew (sorry New Order, The Smiths, Depeche Mode, U2...) NOBODY rocks like this band LIVE, even at their age still insanely powerful sound and voice
Sensational!! Long over due, but better late than never. Great to see Robert acknowledge all members past & present who contributed to the Cure and made them the fantastic band they are! ♥ 🎸🎶🎹♥
the cure it´s part of my life my childhood and adolescence, i´m so proud to have grown up listening to them, when i was a teenager i dressed in gothic style and my hair was like robert smith jajaa
Are any of these people in the audience aware of the greatness before them??? Thanks so much for posting! Congratulations to the Robert and The Cure! 🎉 Thanks for all those years, and really looking forward to the new album and a possible tour of North America 🎸🎶💕
They get it...its a New York City/LA audience of professionals who see many great acts. They dont show excitement (that throws a lot of performers not used to NYC) but they get The Cure believe me
YAY!! You finally got your Wish!!! 😃They're here now and I hope you're swooning along with everyone else!!! Envious because I can't make any of the North American dates for Songs of a Lost World tour..*but!* I can surely be a merchandise collecting maniac!!! OMG, the art for each city is thoughtful to the region (all over the world....!!!)and wonderful!!! I never wanted to represent a group of artists so much, my nieces and nephews need a proper musical education after all; my stepdad has been a drummer for many years so I couldn't resist snagging him a North American tour date shirt! You know that we fans will always love them, timeless..... 💖
@MYHOLLANDGIRL - The Cure are Alternative...Rock. Depeche Mode, on the other hand, don't belong to any Rock genre or sub-genre, they're Electro Pop (or Cold Wave, as we used to call it back in the day) but since there are so many non-Rock artists already in there, I wouldn't be surprised if they get inducted as well.
The year the brits raided the hall of fame. Thank you America for accepting the great bands and music our green and pleasant land has produced. Rule Britannia.
I think I was around 13 when I began listening to the Cure. At 50 now, I listen to them still all the time. The lyrics and artistry in their music is and always will be on a masterful level. I always said I need my 3 C's daily. The Cure, The Cult and sometimes the Church.
Thank you so much for posting this! RnR HOF always takes a fews months to pass in my country. Had the opportunity to see them live in 2013, and it was one of the best shows i went. It was 3h of concert, unbelievable! I hope to see them again someday.
Most money I ever spent on a concert ticket was for The Cure. I was front row center! Best money I ever spent. Robert Smith stared right thru me at times. and I loved seeing him play all the Gretsch guitars! I met all of them but ROBERT! 😢
@@classicmanexpressionscmx6520 Requiem? What Requiem? Paying my respects to Andy Anderson with a sentence is hardly a Requiem! I simply wrote my comment because I was and still am a fan of his drumming in The Cure on some amazing live gigs (and besides I am no Mozart) Plus YOU are wrong sir because mentioning that Andy was black playing in The Cure in the early '80s is actually more important than you think since apparently you don't even know that there are very few black people within the alternative post-punk goth scene where they are a small minority within a minority suffering a lot more discrimination than white goths do and whom already are much discriminated by the majority of "norms"! And yes sir The Cure is a post-punk goth band inspite their more pop friendly deviations throughout the years along their career! *Newsflash* : FYI most TRUE goths are/were bullied and/or suffer/suffered some kind of discrimination at a given point in time during their lives varying accordingly to their own background (social, economical, religious, racial, cultural, etc.) And no, GOTH isn't just a rebellious teen phase you grow out of when reaching adulthood: GOTH is actually something you grow INTO and you have no choice: it's all about a matter of feelings deep inside you and also being who you really are thus expressing yourself through your individuality, originality and personal freedom even if most people don't understand why you are dark gloomy melancholic romantic sad beautiful morbid... because that's the ONLY way goths experience some form of what might be perceived has happiness (especially through music and literature)! And please DON'T confuse real Goths with the fake elitist goth fashion poseurs who pretend to BE Goths and like GOTH but in reality it's just an act (and also kids from younger generations who wear goth t-shirts and goth accessories simply because it looks cool and know nothing at all about Goth subculture) GOTH, Gothic and Darkly Enclined are 3 completely different things albeit having some aspects in common and there are also several sub-genres of Goth music as well as several sub-genres of Goth fashion!
Makes me want to cry, so wish i was there. Saw them in 92-93ish in Albany NY. Robert Smith smiled directly at me. I totally got a fan nod. I remember he was wearing a football jersey which I thought was odd, but then again so is he. Love the Cure always, waiting for US TOUR!!!! Come visit me!!!
THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR CAPTURING THIS MOMENT!!!! You did a great job! I usually get motion sick with the camera bouncing around, I didn't experience that at all! I want to slap the corporate a**holes SITTING up front! I know there are millions of die hard fans who would have done anything to be there! Thank God they stood up at the end to show proper respect! I normally don't like it when people film performances. It makes me long for back in the 80's when you went to a concert & just experienced it first hand. It makes me sad to think you missed any moment of experiencing them live, but I truly appreciate that you did this. LONG LIVE THE CURE!!!! PEACE✌☮✌
My all-time favorite band! I'm so glad to see them inducted and given such honors, they've helped me endure some hard times with their amazing music since I was a kid till this day. The Cure FOREVER!
Simon Gallup is a big part of this group too. A great bass player.
Yeah Trent totally nailed the speech only only thing I’d have liked is a bigger mention of Simon! Love him!
To me Simon Gallup really is like a thriving heart beat behind Robert Smiths creative force of lyrical madness
The early to mid 80's Depeche Mode, The Cure, The Smiths, Phychedilic Furs, SIOUXSIE Etc was a great time for this 20 year old kid.
@Richard Cardone...We were fortunate to be alive during that time and growing up to this music !
I'm a 20 year old kid who's loving all those bands today
@@dougalguthrie7209 I support this 100% I was a little too young to have witnessed these bands in their prime, but I'm hyped to see them get props across generations.

Those are good bands, but glad the Cure got into HoF b4 the others... especially Morrissey, lol. Suck it Moz!
I drove up from Baltimore to see the RnR HOF ceremony and I had a ball. I have been a diehard Cure fan since I was 15 and I am now 52. It was really cool to see many of the band members and to hear Robert acknowledge Matthieu Hartley, Phil Thornalley, and the late Andy Anderson and their contributions to the band. It was nice to additionally see Andy Anderson get an acknowledgement as one of the many performers who passed within the last year during the Hall's memoriam segment. It was a little sobering to hear 'Shake Dog Shake' knowing that Andy is no longer with us. He played this song exceptionally well on the Top album. I knew it was a pipe dream, but I was still hoping that Robert may play with some of the past band members at the ceremony. Oh well, it didn't happen but I thought the current lineup sounded fine.

I often feel like Robert really does not truly get how much he and his bandmates have impacted many folks with these songs and albums.
I've been a fan since I was 13 and I am now 46! Watching Trent's intro and Robert's speech I cried tears of joy!!!!
i'm so jealous! i'm only down in jersey and i wasn't able to arrange to be there for it (hence why i'm now binge-watching everything i can find on here). but as far as i'm concerned, this was the highlight of the night!! between trent reznor's intro and the cure's set ... i'm a happy camper now :)
Started when a foreign exchange from France showed at my school.....introduced to the Cure and it was over! Been a huge fan since 1983, 17 years old.
Fan since 13.. now I'm 46 :D Hoped to see past members playing too or at least Boris. Cheers!
how2 much do tickets like that cost?
Love what Simon's moves have become over the years. Kind of like a goth my little pony having "galluping" fits of excitement around the stage and making up for the rest of the band who have always been pretty static. Still the coolest bass player with the longest bass strap and the best sound around!

**IT'S ABOUT DARN TIME THIS HAPPENED! TO ONE OF MY TOP 5 BANDS OF "ALL" TIME!! I'VE WORSHIPPED THEM FOR 33 YEAR'S NOW (SINCE THE AGE OF 13). THEY GOT ME THROUGH 3 YEARS OF SHEER TRAUMATIC HELL IN HIGH SCHOOL. MY STYLE WAS TOTALLY INFLUENCED BY ROBERT SMITH, SIOUXSIE & JOAN JETT. I WOULDN'T BE ALIVE, IF IT WEREN'T FOR THEM. EVEN WROTE A POEM, DEDICATED TO THEM. THAT I PERFORMED AT ONE OF MY SPOKEN WORD SETS. THEY LITERALLY "CURE" ME. HOW CAN YOU EVEN BEGIN TO THANK. A BAND WHOM HAS GIVEN YOU HOPE & LIFE? SADLY, I'VE NEVER BEEN ABLE TO SEE THEM LIVE YET :( TO THOSE READING MY COMMENT. COUNT YOURSELVES IMMENSELY LUCKY. IF YOU'VE BEEN ABLE TO. "MASSIVE" SHOUT OUT TO THE PERSON WHOM RECORDED & POSTED THIS! WATCHING NOW; MAKING MY SATURDAY NIGHT STUPENDOUS!**
Good grief...Simon, Simon, Simon, I just love watching you play.
Well deserved! I saw them a few years ago in my country Peru (Lima) and they put on a flawless Three hours straight show. Amazing!
The Cure has transported me again and again and again and again and I cant wait to go again .
They're the best and always #1 .
Absolute Poetry.
Amazing band, nice to see that they got into the Hall of Fame. And they still sound great live after all these years. Respect.
At a smallish former Disco in Cherry Hill NJ called Emerald City...the Cure played their First Ever show in North America....April 10 1980. From there to here....it has been a joyous ride. Thanks for so many years of great and groundbreaking music!!!
They sound as good as they ever did! Saw them in '89 during their Disintegration tour, and I'm truly hoping they'll cross the pond with their 30th anniversary Disintegration tour!
Simon gallup..immortal
Simon is soooo overjoyed bouncing all over the stage. Bless him.
Happy for them, well deserved! Their music got me through my college years in L.A: 1984-88!
The Cure AGAIN... showing why they’re the best Live Band the 80s ever knew (sorry New Order, The Smiths, Depeche Mode, U2...) NOBODY rocks like this band LIVE, even at their age still insanely powerful sound and voice
The police
Truly untouchable folks
CFOJUSTICE that would be the other band
don't tell that to a Depeche Mode fan directly. Devotees might try to bite your head off.
Sensational!! Long over due, but better late than never. Great to see Robert acknowledge all members past & present who contributed to the Cure and made them the fantastic band they are! ♥ 🎸🎶🎹♥
At least they didn't have to wait as long as Deep Purple or Roxy Music..The RRHOF is a bit silly in their priorities.
@@thomaslasch567 Hoping Joy Division/New Order get in as well.
Without The Cure i wouldn't have found myself a place in the world....or found my husband!. Thankyou
never been a big cure fan but they were by far the best part of this stupid ceremony. i should check them out
Watching this has infinitely increased my excitement to see The Cure in Madrid July 2019!
**You are sooo lucky!**
See you there, second time after meltdown festival which was a night I’ll never forget
the cure it´s part of my life my childhood and adolescence, i´m so proud to have grown up listening to them, when i was a teenager i dressed in gothic style and my hair was like robert smith jajaa
Are any of these people in the audience aware of the greatness before them???
Thanks so much for posting!
Congratulations to the Robert and The Cure! 🎉 Thanks for all those years, and really looking forward to the new album and a possible tour of North America 🎸🎶💕
They needed to get warmed up @
They get it...its a New York City/LA audience of professionals who see many great acts. They dont show excitement (that throws a lot of performers not used to NYC) but they get The Cure believe me
Why wouldn't they be. This is honestly THE MOST excited and reactionary crowd I have ever seen at rhe RARHOF.
YAY!! You finally got your Wish!!! 😃They're here now and I hope you're swooning along with everyone else!!! Envious because I can't make any of the North American dates for Songs of a Lost World tour..*but!* I can surely be a merchandise collecting maniac!!! OMG, the art for each city is thoughtful to the region (all over the world....!!!)and wonderful!!! I never wanted to represent a group of artists so much, my nieces and nephews need a proper musical education after all; my stepdad has been a drummer for many years so I couldn't resist snagging him a North American tour date shirt! You know that we fans will always love them, timeless..... 💖
A Love song, my fav!!!!
They sound awesome!! Depeche mode needs to be inducted next!
When Is Trent Reznor getting in the RRHOF?? Definitely glad to see the Cure finally made it. Maybe I'll make it to Cleveland this summer.
Only a matter of time before Nine Inch Nails gets inducted
How do you define rock then?
@MYHOLLANDGIRL - The Cure are Alternative...Rock. Depeche Mode, on the other hand, don't belong to any Rock genre or sub-genre, they're Electro Pop (or Cold Wave, as we used to call it back in the day) but since there are so many non-Rock artists already in there, I wouldn't be surprised if they get inducted as well.
@MYHOLLANDGIRL Relax gramps
Such an EPIC band.
40 years of memories and emotions in this video. Love the CURE. Congratulations on finally getting into the RRHOF
The year the brits raided the hall of fame. Thank you America for accepting the great bands and music our green and pleasant land has produced. Rule Britannia.
I think I was around 13 when I began listening to the Cure. At 50 now, I listen to them still all the time. The lyrics and artistry in their music is and always will be on a masterful level. I always said I need my 3 C's daily. The Cure, The Cult and sometimes the Church.
To this day A Forest always gives me chills...damn near perfection
Darren A Forest is a journey into the unknown drifting between planes unseen.
They still sound bloody amazing
Thank you so much for posting this! RnR HOF always takes a fews months to pass in my country. Had the opportunity to see them live in 2013, and it was one of the best shows i went. It was 3h of concert, unbelievable! I hope to see them again someday.
that's pretty sick they played A Forest
A Forest. If I had to choose one - great set.
And we will always love you! .... Thank you to the person who posted this! xxo
They look relaxed and like they’re enjoying themselves
The best live performance of the 2019 Rock and Roll Hall of Fame Induction ceremony.
This makes me cry.
They still sound great after all of these years!
Congratulations to The Cure - love you guys!!
So good! Robert’s voice has stood the test of time I hope I get chance to see them again.
best band in the world
A tribute to Andy Anderson with " Shake Dog Shake " 😎
So cool I love The Cure ❤️❤️❤️💋💋💋💄
Brenda in the 2nd row and 3 minutes in, turn around and watch the band. They're wicked good and you're not worthy!
I can't hear Boys Don't Cry without crying, much less seeing it performed live.
Congratulations for all of us!
Yessssss!!!! The Cure..first band I ever LOVED!!! Depeche Mode next year!!!
So well deserved! So glad I got to see them a few years ago! What a show! They are amazing live! One of thee very best bands of all time!
Most money I ever spent on a concert ticket was for The Cure. I was front row center! Best money I ever spent. Robert Smith stared right thru me at times. and I loved seeing him play all the Gretsch guitars! I met all of them but ROBERT! 😢
RIP 🌹✝ Andy Anderson
(The Cure's black drummer circa 1984)
Filipe Matias...He was...black!!? 🤭. Dude, cool requiem, but it’s 2020. No one gives a rat’s ass about his color. Peace...
@@classicmanexpressionscmx6520
Requiem? What Requiem?
Paying my respects to Andy Anderson with a sentence is hardly a Requiem!
I simply wrote my comment because I was and still am a fan of his drumming in The Cure on some amazing live gigs (and besides I am no Mozart)
Plus YOU are wrong sir because mentioning that Andy was black playing in The Cure in the early '80s is actually more important than you think since apparently you don't even know that there are very few black people within the alternative post-punk goth scene where they are a small minority within a minority suffering a lot more discrimination than white goths do and whom already are much discriminated by the majority of "norms"!
And yes sir The Cure is a post-punk goth band inspite their more pop friendly deviations throughout the years along their career!
*Newsflash* : FYI most TRUE goths are/were bullied and/or suffer/suffered some kind of discrimination at a given point in time during their lives varying accordingly to their own background (social, economical, religious, racial, cultural, etc.)
And no, GOTH isn't just a rebellious teen phase you grow out of when reaching adulthood: GOTH is actually something you grow INTO and you have no choice: it's all about a matter of feelings deep inside you and also being who you really are thus expressing yourself through your individuality, originality and personal freedom even if most people don't understand why you are dark gloomy melancholic romantic sad beautiful morbid... because that's the ONLY way goths experience some form of what might be perceived has happiness (especially through music and literature)!
And please DON'T confuse real Goths with the fake elitist goth fashion poseurs who pretend to BE Goths and like GOTH but in reality it's just an act (and also kids from younger generations who wear goth t-shirts and goth accessories simply because it looks cool and know nothing at all about Goth subculture)
GOTH, Gothic and Darkly Enclined are 3 completely different things albeit having some aspects in common and there are also several sub-genres of Goth music as well as several sub-genres of Goth fashion!
Filipe Matias...It was just a comment in passing. Chill out, dude! A retrospective on 80’s culture and human psychology isn’t warranted...Peace.
Great set... great footage! Thank you for the capture and upload!!!
About time this great band were inducted.
I would be dancing the entire time. Love this band so much. Cheers!
Most talented musicians in the rock hall, so far, I do believe. The Tim Burton of rock. What a triumph for Robert.
You mean Tim Burton is the Robert Smith of film.
No no honey...Tim took a page from Roberts book..
Zuma Dogg well you just keep believing that.
Makes me want to cry, so wish i was there. Saw them in 92-93ish in Albany NY. Robert Smith smiled directly at me. I totally got a fan nod. I remember he was wearing a football jersey which I thought was odd, but then again so is he. Love the Cure always, waiting for US TOUR!!!! Come visit me!!!
Disintegration 30 year anniversary soon on May 2nd. Greatest album in human history.
THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR CAPTURING THIS MOMENT!!!! You did a great job! I usually get motion sick with the camera bouncing around, I didn't experience that at all! I want to slap the corporate a**holes SITTING up front! I know there are millions of die hard fans who would have done anything to be there! Thank God they stood up at the end to show proper respect! I normally don't like it when people film performances. It makes me long for back in the 80's when you went to a concert & just experienced it first hand. It makes me sad to think you missed any moment of experiencing them live, but I truly appreciate that you did this. LONG LIVE THE CURE!!!! PEACE✌☮✌
Thanks for posting! This is also the highest quality 2019-RRHOF video I've seen on YT.
Congrats to my friend Robert - you deserve HOF!
Love to you and The Cure - Bleikr Morrison
Robert playing billy corgans signature acoustic model
That’s awesome
Another hidden gem LP was Japanese Whispers 1983 a song called LAMENT was another lost classic.
LAMENT an EPIC SONG! One of my Cure favorites; surreal and haunting
My all-time favorite band! I'm so glad to see them inducted and given such honors, they've helped me endure some hard times with their amazing music since I was a kid till this day. The Cure FOREVER!
Well deserved, seen The Cure many times in Australia including the trilogy gig at the Sydney Opera House. Still one of my top 5 bands ever
It's "The CURE".

I bought Faith in 1981 and I've had faith ever since. Bad Wolf Bay in Norway: Doctor Who.
Thanks for posting this. Really
Have a feel for the moment.
