Since 1997 I still can't really believe how fuckin' gifted and talented these guys are!!! One of my favourite bands of all time! I love every damned cover they do, especially this one and the Duran Duran one!!!
As a Cure fan from the early 80's I have to say that I love this version of the Deftone's better than The Cure's. The guitars and drums are amazing along with the voice.
i know robert smith loved this from an interview i saw.. you have to remember robert smith is quite shy and calm ..he never looks too excited at the best of times
DAMN. This is exceptional, as it should be. The Cure is one of Chino's favorite bands,- believe I once read they were his absolute favorite. As a major Cure fan, I have always been able to hear their influence in their Chino's work.
damn, as someone who grew up with The Cure in the 80s, had Kiss Me Kiss Me Kiss Me (album this tune is on) when it came out, and has loved the original of this for 20+ years, I've got to say that was one of the best, most honest versions of any cover I think I've ever heard. well fucking done!
I had to watch this over 5 times to really believe what I just heard. Big Cure fan here, and I have to say, this is good sh**. Nobody has EVER covered a cure song correctly....until now. WOW.
i like when i'm on mushrooms and after the trip really sets in and i've peaked... this song would explain how i feel then... everything feels all "foreign" for lack of a better term. i feel i'm biased to enjoy this song it's so good. this is what i like to call "art".
i love this song the cure are great and deftones are just out of this world with this performance even the cure were impressed by how the deftones performed this song
I looked at Stephen Carpenter's setup a while back and he uses a Boss FZ-2, but he has a rackmount effects unit (Rocktron) going into Marshall amps. Course that is from Guitargeek, which never gets updated, but that is what he was using ages ago .... That is such a good cover, Chino does such a good Robert Smith sound vocally...
This is a top top cover of a great Cure song. I first saw this on MTV ages ago - it's how I discovered the song. And I have to say I prefer it to the original. I'm sure if I heard the Cure version first I'd say that was my favourite. that's the way it works I spose
Deftones owned original, Manson, posers in public and all other bands on this MTV icon. Look at Smith, he's like "WTF?! Never thought this song could sound so f-king powerful!"
this is from MTV Icon "The Cure" from 2004 and this is the best Performance of a great band i love this song so much and they make a great cover and yes Marilyn Manson was the Presenter
Old FAT Bob sitting in a Corner.. w/ his hand Clap and LipStick..hehe Nice It's very Good Cover... of a Great Song .. thx 4 postin' it... Thx Sacto,Calif for Such a Awesome band... DEftOneS Rule !
It is the first MTV Icons. Some kind of tribute to important bands like the Cure. Blink 182 played also a Cure song. This is one of the few good ideas that crappy network had.
If Only Tonight We Could Sleep Lyrics 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
sereno353 The Cure is my heart band . Nearly 30 years . And this song is my very most favorite . Yet I can appreciate when someone makes a cover so that they put up something of yourself
sereno353 sorry to break your heart chum, but this version is better. just because it's a cover doesn't mean that things cannot surpass the original. do you think Robert smith attends every single performance/cover of every band that covers the cure? he's there because he obviously feels passionate about their version of this song.
deftones took this song into a whole other darker level.
they owned it from the outset~!
Since 1997 I still can't really believe how fuckin' gifted and talented these guys are!!!
One of my favourite bands of all time!
I love every damned cover they do, especially this one and the Duran Duran one!!!
Oh. my. God... How atmospheric, eerie and insanely beautiful is this! I love the original but this almost surpasses it..
he really put his soul into this one and it came out fantastic. great cover, i love this two bands!!!
marylin manson introducing deftones that plays the cure's song.. WAT??
+TheArtyomenko MTV Icon
Those were the days :)
As a Cure fan from the early 80's I have to say that I love this version of the Deftone's better than The Cure's. The guitars and drums are amazing along with the voice.
Now THATS how to do a cover version. Totally OWN it.
i know robert smith loved this from an interview i saw..
you have to remember robert smith is quite shy and calm ..he never looks too excited at the best of times
Deftones played this at their Melbourne concert I went to in Feb this year... Sounded just like this... Absolutely friggen awesome!
This kind of makes me want to cry
This is the best thing ever
Deftones the greatest band ever formed in history.. DEFTONES FOREVER!!!
Couldn't get this song out of my head last night. Love it.
Truly fantastic cover. Chi getting into it at 2:55 reminds me of what we lost.
It's a cover. Not a imitation, not a replica, not a copycat. Just a tribute. They played a great and implemented the deftones "groove" to it.
EEXXTTRREEMMEELLYY impressed - totally respectful performance of a Cure classic.
love the quality of this video. thanks for posting the Deftones!!!!!
Fuckin awesome! I'm sure every band there was outdone by Deftones.
Los deftones "la rompieron", " se salieron", "la mataron", " se rifaron", hicieron de este tema una verdadera maravilla. Nomamesssss que buen cover
Suena Igual no veo mucho cambio
Hicieron ? el tema por si solo es monstruosamente genial y deftones no le cambia nada a la versión cover ..... jajaj
What a wickedly awesome tribute to The Cure and an honor to have them clapping!!!
The cure is my favorite bands, but i do appreciate deftones as well and they do good playing this song, really good cover.
Deftones is the greatest band that ever lived. Fuck what anyone else says.
the cure looked astounded and bewildered at that performance, class
the cure and deftones... 2 awesome bands, it doesn't get much better than this
Chino's voice touches me in a special way, when he starts to sing "If only tonight we could sleep".
white pony and around the fur are masterpieces heck every album by them are great
1 of my fav cure songs. they did it justice, well done
DAMN.
This is exceptional, as it should be. The Cure is one of Chino's favorite bands,- believe I once read they were his absolute favorite. As a major Cure fan, I have always been able to hear their influence in their Chino's work.

deftones are one of the most unique bands ever... i dare someone 2 say different after listening to all thre albums...
I had to watch this over 5 times to really believe what I just heard. Big Cure fan here, and I have to say, this is good sh**. Nobody has EVER covered a cure song correctly....until now. WOW.
i like when i'm on mushrooms and after the trip really sets in and i've peaked... this song would explain how i feel then... everything feels all "foreign" for lack of a better term. i feel i'm biased to enjoy this song it's so good. this is what i like to call "art".
i love this song the cure are great and deftones are just out of this world with this performance even the cure were impressed by how the deftones performed this song
Great vid - great sound quality. Good job Rockn'frost - nice post.
Deftones do a hell of a job adding emotion to otherwise musically-emotionless songs
this made me soo damn happy haha i love it.
this song makes me smile
Conjures thoughts of dark madness.......great cover...R.I.P CHI
I love the feeling of this dark song. Lyrics are poetic and dark.

And an angel would come with burning eyes like stars. And carry us deep in his velvet arms.
my absolute idea of heaven.
ooooft.
I've lost my mom, dad, and divorced twice in 10 years! This song gets me thru a lot of lonely nights.
this sounds amazing!!
Robert and the rest of the band are shown toward the end, he seemed like he was pleased... which seems like a rarity with people covering his stuff.
love abe's drumming in this song.....

I looked at Stephen Carpenter's setup a while back and he uses a Boss FZ-2, but he has a rackmount effects unit (Rocktron) going into Marshall amps. Course that is from Guitargeek, which never gets updated, but that is what he was using ages ago ....
That is such a good cover, Chino does such a good Robert Smith sound vocally...

from 2004
and this is the best Performance

This is a very good cover, I think that it picks up on the emotional content of the original well. It is very good and I like it :-)

If Only Tonight We Could Sleep
Lyrics
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
Aww, Robert Smith is so adorable.
Really Great Cover!
I'm just going by what it says on their CDs. That's why I think it's "Deftones"
and yes, they ARE a great band =)
Beautiful cover. Just amazing. ;)
Sickest version ever. What else u expect. Chino singing in tribute to his god- Robert fukin Smith!
PERFECT....deftones is perfect!God save the Chino!
damnnn.... hella sick, that's more than a cover.. just amazin'. peace
Robert Smith at the end looks like "Damn, these guys played our song better than we did!"
no rozhodně ten mrazivější zvuk tomu dal sílu. Jsou covery, kterých je třeba si cenit
Are you kidding me? He surely doesn't think that! It's just a fucking cover. Did you ahve listen well at The Cure song??
sereno353 The Cure is my heart band . Nearly 30 years . And this song is my very most favorite . Yet I can appreciate when someone makes a cover so that they put up something of yourself
