65 years old and still listen to The Cure.
Disintegration is one of the most amazing albums, one of those albums you can put on and listen from start to finish. It has gotten me through some tough times
I can listen to the Forest on a continuous loop for the rest of my life
Me too! It’s my fav!
Same!
Is magic
The A Forest (Tree mix) from their Mixed Up album was great also.
53 yo old new waver, trying to look and feel young but realizes that time is slipping away nonetheless. Cure's songs reflects my life's journey until I die, I guess. Just like Heaven!
You wouldn't believe how much we have in common.
@@FlightlessBirds11 On the 58 year old new wave, but when boys don't cry, it all ends ;-)
56 here, ditto 😂👍
@@Strandkievit I wish I could factually say music has timeless appeal, but people aren't really running to Spotify for Bach or Mozart are they? I'm kind of empty headed & stuck on this. I just keep my inner teen going. I'll always listen to what makes me feel good or activates an emotive reaction, I guess.
O yes, these could be my words, definitely
60 years old and still loving Faith. Those were the days..
Beyond the media and fan imposed labels, Robert Smith is an incredible guitarist, together with Simon Gallup on bass, forever resonating in our hearts.
I'm 59, and saw them in Minneapolis at First Avenue in Nov 1984. My blind date got me drunk right before, which although I drank, I didn't appreciate. He got the msg. I still enjoyed the concert at this small venue, where I went dancing all the time when there weren't shows going on. I still wear my Cure t-shirts because they are me. What a wonderful band!!!❤
Almost EVERYTHING in modern rock and even indie electronic leads back to the seed called The Cure.
Their early eighties music speaks for itself , thenks. ❤
I thought that Kiss Me Kiss Me Kiss Me was one of the greatest albums they ever made. I remember listening to it for years from beginning to end, and not once did I ever think that any of the songs should have been left out of the album. But I guess that's what's great about being a Cure fan, everyone can relate to them in their own way, hence not even people in the music industry can always get it right when doing a documentary on The Cure. Maybe they should try listening to the lyrics as well as just the music.
The Kiss, all i want, one more time, Fight, the hole Album is the best 💯🔨🎧🖤🖤🖤🍻🍻🍻👍 greetings from Hamburg Germany
And all the b-sides were amazing too : japanese dream, chain of flowers breathe... !!
My favorite Cure album is Kiss me... so much great sonic variety and amazing songwriting.
Such a fantastically psychedelic album.....strap on some headphones, close your eyes and relish....
I'm 29 my dad would play lullaby for me all the time as a kid and the way I connected with it was eye opening as a child. Even tho I wasn't really aware of the cure other than that song I ended up being "goth/alt' and found my way back to them 20 years later. Thanks pops
OMG I had no idea that all the songs from 'Standing On a Beach' were all from other albums. I freakin love every single song on it!🫨 'Head On the Door' is the one for me. 🖤
They sound as awesome as ever.
I always liked in between days, just like heaven, lovesong but when i heard a forest first time im hooked and become my favorite cure song.
The Cure are my favorite band
The Top is their crowning achievement alongside Wish. Please revisit them. Been Cured since 1982 as a 12 year old in California. So glad they’re back in the top mix globally again. First glimpse of their immensely complimentary outfit in Oakland, California in 1987. Mind changing moment for all present.
I believe we'd all better agree and right damn quick that 'Disintegration' is the best album they ever recorded.
Fixed it for you: I believe we'd all better agree and right damn quick that 'Disintegration' is the best album ever recorded.
@@Fannon451 I could of course debate this, but doing so would make me feel ickier than the dirty sanchez growing on Anthony Keidis' upper lip.
And song
Wish
@@jonhmonsalve A worthy follow up. I still listen to it. That said, there's not one song on that record that can compete with the Disintegration album opener 'Plainsong' ( which is anything but ).
Thank you Robert Smith!
Who would have guessed that one of their greatest songs would come in 2024 “Alone”
that's a goodbye song if I've ever heard one. It's beautiful lyrically but I still need more time with it.
You asked a question. Use a question mark. It look like this: ?.
@@clvrswine lol
The Cure are too musically big and varied to be described as goth. Nothing wrong with goth but calling them goth is limiting.
Agreed, but denying their absolute inspiration, and cultivation of goth is idiotic. It was a time and place and they were right in the heart of it. History will say, “the Cure” a Goth band that went mainstream. Ha
It's always been stupid to call them Goth...It's ridiculously limiting....Robert Smith will be the first person to throw that label right back in your face. The Cure has never taken that label.....You want Goth ? Go listen to Peter Murphy 😂
@@allowyou9225 yeah, fuck the culture who supported them the most. Just call them pop. I would call them grocery store music. Fuck it
@@AlbinoGreen true statement... They are Pop ! And they do get played in grocery stores... So yeah that's about right 😂
@@allowyou9225 that’s sad and limiting
Disintegration - absolutely perfectly done. In my top 5 all time.
Yes its a masterpiece
No Natasha, the album was not called "All Mixed Up", but rather "Mixed Up".
I think Disintegration is one of the greatest albums ever
The magnum opus ❤️🔥
Eric Cartman said
That's so true!
I dont think you’re alone
This was excellent!
I'm up to seeing them 10 times now, Some tours were doubles & triples
No one cares.
@@clvrswine You must. You went out of you way to post on a 2 month old post on it. Go back in your Mums basement
@@clvrswine You cared enough to make a comment from 2 months ago.
This is just a collection of commentary not a documentary.
For a Cure fan, you're not going to find anything you didn't know about The Cure in this video..
Thank you for that. Now I don't have to finish this video that's starting to annoy me, especially when they try and label the Cure as goth.
why all the hate for kiss me? It's a treasure trove of wonderful songs.
I think From the Edge of the Deep Green Sea is their GOAT
I used to feel that way too, then heard “Endsong” on their newest album. It’s phenomenal
I believe the first and foremost thing about Robert Smith is, that he started music because this is what he liked and was interested in, as opposed to women, fame, money. They still have very good gigs with 3 hours playing time and a very devoted fan base who know their complete songbook. There is one thing which is on the negative side, but I believe everyone is fine with that: they don't really have newer fans. By now they are loved among people between 30-65. (give or take)
Well.....what can I say?! My 10 year old daughter loves "A forest", "Boy's don't cry", "The walk", "Just like heaven"....😊
Children of Gen X are their new fans.
@@sugarhigh55 Actually you are right! I'm a new fan. I got hooked on them around 25 years ago when I was in my early twenties. It seems like ages ago, but hey I was 3 in '78!
Actually, Robert stated that he got into music because he didn't want to survive living a 9-5 job. That was his mojo.
I would not be so sure about that, I work with first wave of gen Zers and they are very on it!
Yeah some of "em mainly call it EMO😂 and debate the whole "Goth thing" endlessly until I chip in with Google "New Wave"!
but they are on the music tip!
The Cure 💯🔨🎧🖤🖤🖤👍 greetings from Hamburg Germany 🍺🍺🍺👍
The Cure years 1980-1989.Oh my god best ever.
Idk y'all, I've struggled with substance abuse my entire adult life, and one of the reasons I love The Cure is that their music doesn't remind me of my addiction. I had no idea that Robert used drugs so heavily in the past. I like how he's able to write without pigeon holing the band into the drug scene.
That's amazing to hear. I bet he would love to know that.
Don't do heroin or crack LSD is good for you as is pot, government is the worst drug you can take
RIP rock and roll. RIP bands. RIP music
DRAMA
It's not entirely clear to me who the people are who are talking about the band?! My first vinyl was The Top, which I bought under the Punk genre, then under Underground and finally under the Pop category, that was very strange. But good old days with tufted hair. Ultimately it was the Siouxsie look 😄
Though I love Kiss Me and Disintegration, Head on the Door is a perfect distillation of the breadth of what they can do in a concise sonic offering.
The Cure4ever
Other Fans of new wave don't give a shit about your age, color or creed. that's music's biggest asset. Bringing folks together. regards+++
Kiss me Kiss me, and Disentagration. I love it, the new songs sound so much like Disentagration.
I'm suprised that not many people haven't realised that the background songs in this documentary are not actually sung by Robert Smith, but by someone else who sounds nothing like Robert. It's a shame they didn't use original iterations of the songs for the background, it's almost a slap in the face for Cure fans since a documentary about the Cure doesn't actually have the lead singing.
Many great covers of the cure in this video, who is did those? Oh its a band called INSECURE, a Cure tribute band.
I could have really done without the “music journalist” saying what she said. It was irresponsible of her to have said it and it was irresponsible to put it in the final edit.
Drugs are bad! We shouldn’t romanticize drug use. Please if you are reading this, go out of your way to not take drugs. If you do try drugs, make a deal with yourself that you are just trying it and if you notice a pattern then you need to stop. It was fun, I learned a lot but that was fun and now moving on. We didn’t need her spelling it out for us and it was actually covered a couple times in the video by different people but in a much more acceptable way. What was it she said? “Oh my god! Dude! He was on so many drugs!” Very professional.
I was introduced to the Cure with Standing on a Beach, the greatest hits. The cassette had all of their hits on the A side and the b sides and other recordings on the B side. If you bought the standing on a beach CD, it was only the A side singles....Anywho, I say that to say my first experience with a new Cure release was Kiss me....and I have yet to find anyone mention "How Beautiful You Are" That song is beautiful and ugly. It makes me feel all the things and I can't for the life of me understand how no one even mentions it. I suppose because it was never a single.
Also, the coverage of kiss me in this documentary was odd. I think the perception of those participating was skewed by Disintegration, which, fair enough, is thier Magnum Opus. It was a culmination of a decade of growth, ups and downs leading up to it. But, at least be fair to Kiss Me. It remains a fabulous record in its own right. No matter how long it waffled (you twat).
Life Love Cure.
Since 1979
O álbum standing on a beach foi a senha para entrar no clube secreto do cure
Simon Gallupis the not so secret weapon.
What is & where can I find the show from the 27.50 mark? The same one of 'the top','breakfast time',etc I don't remember ever seeing that one!
Many of the song clips sound like cover versions. At least, I've listened to The Cure for almost 40 years and there are clips here that I've not heard, and I do not believe to be the band. For example during the 9 minute mark listen to "A Forest"... it does not sound like Robert.
Thank you!! This Just Like Heaven "tribute" is terrible.
Agreed! It’s a shame that in a video about the sound of this intriguing band they’re using cover-versions.
That’s what I thought too. Just sounds wrong
The small images on the back side of the first album are replacing the written song titles of the album.
omg...who are these people talking lol? why am I listening to these people? Robert Smith should be the one talking the whole time.
Primary is the best Cure song
Best Cure song ever....The complete 'Pornography' album😜!
Maybe also "The kiss" at the 'Trilogy' version from 2002
To the woman casually talking about Smith's drug use and nervous breakdown: maybe that's something you should have kept to yourself.
These things have been well known for decades. Fans would find it very strange if it weren't mentioned.
I agree we know but it could have been kept out. He has nieces & Nephews old enough now to see this.
@@nathanielnicholson559 I wouldn't- its called respect or TMI
Why would you keep it out?? There not "The back street boys" for fukc sake 😂
them types are snobs
Too much focus on “ The top” album. Skip right over Japanese whispers. This doc sucks. No early days stuff. No mention of jumping someone else’s train or play for today? Dumb
.... Japanese whispers is one of my favorites lol with Head on the door, 17 seconds.... My favorite individual tracks ... 3 imaginary boys, primary, 10.15 saturday night, shake dog shake, a night like this, a forrest (Obs). I like a letter to elise, Push and 6 different ways too but they drift in and out of "favorites".
EVERYTHING ABOUT THE E😊😊😊
10.15 and Forest are musical classics along with prayers for rain. Robert Smith is a genius in the music realm; unique and immensely underrated. 50 years in the business explains everything
Most of this is hogwash! Especially " Robert high on opioids"😂
I shared a few pints with Bob & Mary at the Warrington (his local) back in the day, lovely couple. This is such contrite shite Bob would find it embarrassing.
just started the video, but i predict that the chameleons will not be mentioned as a major influence on this entire era. i will edit once i know if i am right or not
♥️🌹♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️🌻♥️
Most shocking moment - Robert says he likes Paula Abdul. I had to replay that to make sure I had heard him correctly.
5 mins in to this ..and I'm screaming....
."Thats because they are not Goth they are New Wave with a splash of punk (early days)!
???POP?? 😂😂😂
And Im not even an obsessive fan, and Im screaming at the screen.
From a Passionate respectful Cure appreciator..💜
Enjoy the next couple of days of treasure live sets !
Oh dear! The Cure fans be warned. This docu is on a new level of ghastly. It would have been slightly better if they had edited out the (so called) journalists. How many other horrible band docu's did this gang produce in the 90' and 2000? Way to many, that's for sure! Runaway!
Where are the music segments from? Sounds like a cover band doing The Cure's songs. Why??
I’m certain for licensing reasons they couldn’t use the original versions.
i think that White Hammer by Van Der Graff Generator is quite Goth given its subject matter , the Dark chords & the bit before the mentally dark finale but it was recorded in 1969 so doesn’t fit the narrative
The best band in the world 🖤🖤
Looking back, Kiss Me X 3 was a great album. However, I think this documentary has not aged well. The people here really love the early albums and cannot see the maturing and progress the band was making. It is hard for people who love a band to accept when a band grows up. All bands go through this.
❤💫
Why are there just coversongs and not the originals in this documentary?!
Hello mcfly… copyright…
THE CURE
Every goth listened to The Cure but not every listener was goth.
This "Natasha" person, no, she is not involved, and she does not understand. She comes off like a complete poser.
Who are these dorks? I'm a nobody , but if they did a documentry about me it would surly involve drugs and depression. according to them.
for some reason I really can't figure out, whoever produced this documentary (arguably from the mid 2000s) only had the rights to include original Cure songs from "The Top" album. Probably they are from a different publishing company than the rest of the catalogue? Anyway, the only had a couple of interviews from The Disintegration era, some pics and 5 or 6 tune played by some ugly cover band with a terrible singer and a bassist who can't figure out the right notes to A Forest (they are not many). A couple of the people talking in this video don't really have a clue about what they are saying (at some point a guy calls some bass line "suicidal"? come on?). Anyway I enjoyed the 1984 The Top performances.
Ummm... WTF did I just watch?! Was this supposed to be a parody? A mockumentary? A joke? Made me laugh. I hope Robert comes across this video, 'cause it'll make him laugh too.
This was made 2 weeks ago- the guy said what will Robert be at 50? He is 65 now. This video sucks. Also Robert said his last tour to close out his career in in 2028. That will mean he has been in The Cure making music for 50 years. I posted the video on FB, Twitter and itis also on TH-cam
The date a video is posted isn’t the date it was made. Look at the computers behind the blond American guy. Are you dense?
@@chipwalter4490 No I have cancer & the medicine makes me sick. I didn't look at any dates.
@@IloveKurtCobain-z5k sorry to be so abrupt with you. But the look of the peoples clothes, the rooms around them, the computers and things like that, are all noticeably from a few decades ago.
If not even watched 6 minutes. This is trash. These people talking don't know anything about The Cure and are not Cure fans. A very bad doc.
We had 17 seconds, faith, pornography, disintegration... And in a couple of weeks we are going to discover Songs of a lost world...
The Cure are almost Prog-Goth… their album to album mood almost floats in range. The music almost seems simplistic until you really look deep into it.
Their music also doesn’t really show its age. To me even their oldest songs hold their style today.
Please don't comment again. "Prog" is a term you haven't a clue about. Get a clue.
Did RS inspire the others to tease their hair out or was this just the goth style at large?
I guess I'm one of the few, and I'm ok with it. Pornography is, to me, their greatest album.
I will say that Disintegration is immaculate and is genuinely incredible, but it just doesn't speak to me like Pornography does. Then again, I prefer listening to The Top more so than Disintegration.
Wish I missed banana fishbones ugh that's awful! I really love the cure but damn
They need to stop talking whilst the music is playing.
i thought the same lol
The Cure are, have and will be followed by goths because Pornography, Faith and Disintegration are very dark albums, but the Cure are their own thing, always will be, I don't like the new stuff but it's them and if you want it you can have it, just don't analyse it enjoy what you enjoy
Best band of the 80's.
Not hardly.
The Smiths are the best band of the 80s, in my opinion.
XTC was another great 80s band. And The Church.
How bout your mother?
One of them, definitely!
This is the most uninformative documentary i have ever seen
Why this smart music guys talk and compare the sound of The Cure with Gothic??? Even at that time it was so what of different from Ghothic .....Sorry can't agree at all and I am just 58years old and seem to know only a little of it..I would never put it into gothic...it's for me more independence music they played at that time and still do. They never wanted to be put in the so called "Gothic"-Box btw. What I think is absolutely correct.
WARNING! This is a video from 2007 that has nothing to do with 2024 or the new album.
Depois de um albun como pornograph nao tinha como continuar a fazer outro igual foi muito pesado ou mudavam ou acabariam
these re-recordings are made by chinese musicians that get in a shit ton of trouble by their government if their recordings don’t sound close enough to that of the original recording artists’
No matter who the band is, EVERY reviewer or critic of EVERY double album ever says, it would've been a great single LP, maybe/probably/definitely would've been their best. So dumb. So not the point. As if the band accidentally made a double. As if they didn't know they could pick the 10 best and do a single.
Banana fish bones now simon on bass
Poor documenary. Interviews were of clueless individuals. But, the Cure is still wonderful.
💋🖤🖤🖤👏👏👏
I don't get the goth look, but man do I love goth music!
5:05 I feel like this guy shouldn't be talking about The Cure at all. He's a DJ from CFOX in Vancouver. When I was growing up in Vancouver as a teen in the 80s, CFOX would NEVER play The Cure. They never even played anything off of Disintegration. They were afraid to go there. This station is one of the reasons why Vancouverites just didn't listen to The Cure in the 80s unless they went to the right clubs or had the right friends. The rock stations in Vancouver didn't go anywhere near the band.
Before he passed away I wish Peter Steele and Type O Negative coveted a Cure tune....
Goths are also a lot of other things. But the Cure are goth. It’s an attitude.
Nothing to be ashamed of.
@@AlbinoGreen they're a punk band, goths weren't around in 1979, they never claimed to be goth, ever!
@@hughzapretti-boyden9187 I guess Siouxse
Isn’t either then. The term goth was coined from a publicist that went to a joy division show. Pretty early. Goth was an out branch of punk anyway. Joe strummer or John Lydon don’t have a problem with the punk moniker . Even though they are more.
Sisters of Mercy aren’t Goth either. LOL
@@AlbinoGreen goth was post-punk, around 1980. FACT!
Malice formed in 1976 & became a punk band called The Cure in 1978! I saw them early 1979. Sisters of Mercy didn't release their first album until 1985!!
If you want a band who arguably started goth then look no further than Bauhaus!! I imagine you're american...
@@AlbinoGreen were Fields of the Nephilim goth? Were The Damned goth? Were Zodiac Mindwarp & The Love Reaction goth? Were The Cult goth?
How did they achieve that hair do? Electric shocks or the seeing of ghosts,or the bands pay packet and the singers bank balance.
could be brittle hair syndrome, it mats easily and stays up, there is just one recorded case but the say boris johnson and einstien have/had it, it makes the hair a dull blond colour, i think i have half the gene? i have brown hair that is thin and brittle, i can rub it and it tangles then dreads, i got chased once as kid for having robert smith hair lol, i could rub it now and it stand up for ages but am going bald now lol, also part of that condition..
I'm spit balling but, AQUA-NET, a teasing comb & 4 thickly mustachioed firemen on duty.
@@jibicusmaximus4827 Fk-IT, hairs overrated. It's being a tasked gentleman, that recognizes impeccable style & high intelligence that flies highest. Waxing my girlies back, can take the afternoon but, I brought tea. To me the sexiest girls loved black everything, red lipstick, The Cure & no panties.
@@FlightlessBirds11 Hahahahaha
Backcombing and lots of hairspray.
All these people are BORING!!!!
The talking heads in these types of documentaries are always boring. I don't like the band Talking Heads either, aside from Psycho Killer.
@@JesseNothing33 I agree with your statment , but talking heads Take Me to the River is also a good song as well. no?
Yeah old documentary too, renamed.
@@stratonut Wow, no mention of 'once in a lifetime?'
The Cure are not goth! I’ve been a fan of them from the beginning, they are way too diversified to be described as goth
Always thought the cure were crap!, smith couldn't carry a song in a suitcase 🤦
Everything about this doc is terrible
