One Hundred Years - The Cure 

scanner1978 lots of talent, determination and lots of lsd

claustrophobia and drugs

Creative legend

He didn't produce it.

@LMB222 You know what he means donkey. They had a producer but of course all of the song’s arrangements were done by them.

I love Banshees, but Siouxsie was NOT a good influence on Bob.

Fuck siouxie when tou have Robert

@@princeofcupspoc9073 how so what did she do

Early Cure is the best Cure!

Definitely

I bought this album 41 years ago. Had forgotten what a gem this track is.

@@Arnalou83 fuck you, he's the best , go watch some italian slapper shit bassist, bass is not about shredding

@@david_post_punk ​ @David Mentalist Forget that slap bass fool. He ain't writing any songs that go triple platinum.

@@Arnalou83 let’s see u make som hits

As a guitarist who just recently got into bass playing and is still in the process of learning from other people's songs I completely agree. Simon Gallup and Andy Rourke (The Smiths) are my favourites.

What kind of pedals is Robert using?

@@9graff9 equipboard.com/pros/robert-smith/#effects-pedals

@@9graff9 not from the earth

Best opening lyric. Followed by "Ambition in the back of a black car"

really?

I know all the lyrics pages say, "It doesn't matter," but he CLEARLY says "Doesn't it matter," both here an on the studio recording.

@@mournblade1066 thats what I hear aswell, but "doesn't matter..." makes way more sense

My faves near the end ‘just like the old days… just like the old days… just like the old days’ *main riff*

Gallup is full of rage

Simon is the only one to be cool and impressive, even when he plays the same two notes for 5mn! :) Such a great song

@milo_steinz Would rather him stand there like a fucking statue for six minutes?

@@joff2440 Sadly, he would be out of The Cure from the summer of 1982 through the fall of 1984. He and Robert Smith would make up just before the sessions for their 1985 album, The Head on the Door, had started. During his break from The Cure, Gallup would form a new band called Cry with Matthieu Hartley (who played keyboards with The Cure from 1979-80) and Gary Biddles, but the name of their band was soon changed to Fools Dance; while Smith would also get busy reforming The Cure with Andy Anderson on drums and Phil Thornalley (who co-produced the _Pornography_ album) on bass, as well as again finding himself in the company of Siouxsie & the Banshees as a replacement for John McGeoch (Smith previously played with The Banshees in the summer of 1979 as a fill-in for John McKay); Smith's reunion with The Banshees produced a live album and video, _Nocturne_ ; the studio album _Hyaena_ ; and also a side project with Banshees bassist Steve Severin, The Glove, which released one album, _Blue Sunshine._

@@Jevole-Paramoteur i remember reading that the reason for Simons more eccentric behaviour playing bass during the Pornography era was because of him being increasingly jealous of Robert getting all the attention (and the the record labels more attention on Robert than any other member) this one probably one of the reason he ended up leaving along with other things

Erika, I completely agree with you. Robert and co made so many good things but I keep this song in a different place, its quite awe inspiring and if you check the lyrics it makes you think of current events today

their? Nope.

@@clvrswine Yep. This is The Cure at their peak, not that basic Disintegration sellout period.

Go listen to Washington Live

@@david_post_punk just did, and is trash compared to this one.

@@eru.maewos7673 ok boomer

;(

The rythm which Boris Williams creates on that version is no more slower than this was , I'd say it's a higher tempo version overall and the outro guitar solo is top! U can't demand more from a live performance, calling it trash is unfair

Japan 1984 , Washington 1984, Paris 1982, Orange 1986 ..

​@@david_post_punkThose aren't the same. The trio of Robert, Simon, and Lol has something uniquely dark to it. When you add Boris and Porl there's just something different.

@@TC1982-4 agreed but still great versions i mentioned above i also mentioned 1982 one..

Marina Verdi this comment was probably less cringeworthy in 2013

I've always thought Robert was a hottie back then!

Marina Verdi Haha! Love it!

Black and pink...Good and Plenty

Gallops looking pretty fucking cool too!

23 years old.

You're so right! This song, play for today, a letter to elise, charlotte sometimes. They were perfectly recorded and performed. Its the only live record of any band that I listen to. And its got to be one of the best live records of any band.

what about now? 😓

this is the last cure song i would think to dance to lmao

by Mr Smith's haircut it looks like just before "The Top" which is just as an underated album as I think as ..."Shake Dog Shake" or "Bananafishbones" are superb from "The Top" ...or is the video of "Cure in Orange" around about 85/86. "Kiss Me, Kiss Me, Kiss Me" album time - Like Cocatoos - used to make me cry!!!!!

@@paulskinner5896 the top is one of my fave Cure albums - so different, and I agree with you when you say it's underrated.

It’s called a drum machine. That’s all. Nothing special.

yea he’s also playing two notes

@Bartosz Biniek It's literally the exact same drum pattern the entire song.

@Bartosz Biniek It wasn't that unusual at the time. The Sisters of Mercy have always used drum machines.

@@albertobalsalm4755 Yes but he plays the piano on six different ways and I think that might be the extent of his technical ability.

gothic

Armando chavez me late la rola hundes years

I haven’t lived

Yep "It doesn't matter if we all die!"

3 gothic LP? No, no and no.

@Charalampos Tse Bahhh no entiendes ni como ayudarte. The Cure NO ES UN GRUPO GÓTICO dicho por el mismo Smith SHHHHHH

@Charalampos Tse GÓTICO ahahahaha

@Charalampos Tse ?

@@Olivia3078 que son pues?

essa é uma das melhor 👍

Nope. not Ponography at least. It's all in regular E tuning. They use a lot of dissonant chord formations though

Nope just regular E tunings. The main two chords for most of the song is C minor and B. Top E string is left open and not strummed.

KJezza no it is heavily chorus with a bit of distortion

I have perfect pitch, I'd say it's an alternate tuning. Something like 435 hz instead of 440

Its all in the extra pickup..... Jazzmaster augmentented!

USMCLP that’s y he quit lol

@@andrewreed1329 I'm sure there was a lot more to it than that!

and 2022? even more so...
