Thanks John Frusciante... love the cure, never heard this without him sending me here! He has been quoted as saying this was the song that inspired Californication (song) “I was listening to this song, it was a 25-minute long instrumental. If you listen to it, it sounds exactly like ‘Californication’. They’re just different notes, but it’s the same rhythm, same kind of feeling.” It's interesting to hear the original demo for the song (it's on RU-vid) and it sounds like reggae almost... then the final version, how it came out.... because JF was listening to this track...... pretty awesome!
johns influences have massively influenced me in turn. the way he's never afraid to just admit that a song was massively influenced by another artist is very admirable to me. by the way and it's huge beegees influence was a big reason i got into the beegees.
I went to England in the late 80s to visit my brother who was studying abroad there at the time. I made a point of searching in music stores for anything I could find from The Cure there, anything that you couldn't find in the states then. (Remember, there was no WWW or easy way then to search for obscure songs or titles from your favorite bands in the UK.) I came across this Carnage Visors cassette, I listened to it on my walkman (!) on the flight back, and it blew my freakin' mind. I would listen to it at night while stargazing (I was an astronomy student in Arizona), and it was just so perfect to trance out to. That was over 30 years ago. It's still perfect.
I believe I got this tape at a record store called Turtles back in the mid 80s. I was so amped because it was a special order from the UK and the anticipation of having an album that none of my friends has was exciting. You would wait for that blessed call to say your album arrived! Life was so much more meaningful with all the obstacles of not having instant gratification. However, so glad to have access to it now whenever I’d like. This was my art music, playing in the background as I’d draw…cheers to all
They had no support band during their Faith tour, instead they had a big screen showing this way out animation, this was the soundtrack to it, I still have fond memories of that night, great gig, great night.
Back in 1990, this piece of music once hypnotised my cat. I was listening to it in my bedroom when my cat, Egypt, came in and hopped up on my bed to chill. I stepped out of my room but left the piece playing. I came back in several minutes later, and she was lying on my bed Sphynx style, facing my Yorx stereo, eyes fixated on the pulsing power indicator "thump" lights. When it was over, I waved my hands in front of her face a few tymes. Nothing. Finally I called her name with a clap of my hands, and it about scared her beside herself. LOL.
My cat stands in the same hypno fashion in front of my amp during rehearsals... I think he likes the excess of reverb and fuzz... Guess it´s catlike sound...
i bought 'Faith' double cassette version of this in 1981 for my walkman as a teenager this was an absolute goldmine. A double cassette!!!.. pure beauty in post-punk dystopia north england. Mogwai have taken this to a new level, but The Cure/ Joy Division started the beauty
@@laviniamonte8640 um conceito em música chamado "motivo". Frusciante estava ouvindo essa música na época e captou o motivo de 4 notas dessa música do The cure. Motivos são pequenas ideias rítmicas ou melódicas que se destacam ao longo de uma música ou trecho musical. Nessa música ele extraiu o ritmo apenas. O famoso 'ta na na nann' do californication em lá menor.
My second ever gig was seeing the cure on the faith tour. The film “carnage visors”, with this amazing soundtrack, and the following live performance by the band, completely fried my impressionable brain. Still one of my best gigs I’ve ever. (I was spoilt early on, mind, as my first five gigs were buzzcocks, joy division, the cure, the undertones and the stranglers!)
Never get bored with this eerily beautiful soundtrack. I saw the Cure live only once in 1981 on the Faith tour and they showed the Carnage Visors film instead of a support act.
This was a soundtrack for a short film by Ric Gallup (Simons brother). It was used in place of a support band on the 1981 Picture Tour. The film has since disappeared and only Smith, Lol Tolhurst and Simon Gallup own copies of it. I used to have this track on tape as a B-Side to Faith. I have never seen it since. Great track, one of my Favourites.
My brother had that tape with a whole side being this song, I dubbed it and still have the copy. It always sounded so muffled so hearing it now is really amazing. This track influenced what I thought music should be, not everything needs to be 3 minutes and have vocals.
The Cure’s first few albums along with Southern Death Cult through Dreamtime is what really got me immersed into post-punk. I don’t listen to it nearly as much as I used to (I became really enamored with it while I was tracking down an EP by Deep Blue Dream) but it was really influential on my guitar playing and songwriting as a whole. Robert Smith doesn’t really get as much credit as he deserves in that department as far as I’m concerned. He was incredibly proficient at creating these lush soundscapes from a minimalistic perspective and that’s what made those early records so haunting yet beautiful. A really talented songwriter all around, and a very excellent rhythm guitarist too. I wish the band hadn’t been pressured into slowing down the tracks on the first album. The difference between those and the same songs as heard on the Peel Sessions is immediately noticeable, as is with the live performances from those days. And the tracks like these were every bit as atmospheric. Easily one of the best bands from the 80’s.
A collection of The Cure's instrumental compositions: it's like discovering the Tenth Symphony of Beethoven... all these pieces are as fascinating as their songs.If Edgar Allan Poe lived in this time, he would probably write listening to these album.
Im here, because a jhon frusciante interview, i was a poser fan of the cure in 2015, i had only two disc of the cure. I fuckig love this, and i hate it to. there is so many fealings that can came out for a simple melody.
This is my go to track for when I've been awake for 72hrs, dehydrated, everyone is passed out drunk in Bros basement and I'm just patiently waiting for his sister to make an appearance.
Friends sister - "Hey oh my God I can't believe you're still awake you should really just crash here". Me - "They say if you understand and follow the path of Hinduism, that you understand the origin of this universe and how it was created. After all, Hinduism is just the study of Vibration and how it effects matter". /And that's how I got laid to this song.
I attended the June 1981 concert in Harderwijk, Netherlands. The ‘support act’ was absolutely astonishing. I never bought the tape of ‘Faith’ (got the vinyl) so I never heard it back until a few days ago. Being able to hear it again makes me a happy man. Fan since 1980 or so, and The Cure is still one of my favorites. Good luck, all of you.
hello to every soul on this earth listening to the divine sound of Cure!!! so nice to to so many people liking this music... Robert was the most talented musician from 1979 to 1984 then things changed.... but carnage visors is a part of us now such as siamise twins or the drowning man or m and so many others... God bless you Robert
One more reason I loved buying Cure cassettes - the extras!! This, Concert & Curiosity, the b-sides on Standing on a Beach, extra songs on Mixed Up & Disintegration & Kiss Me x3...the more the better. This is a good song to relax or fall asleep to as well...
Complete random , but it´s amazing how things you´ve listened to as a kid stay tattoed in your brain for life . it´s been some 30 years since I lasr listened to this , maybe more , and it all feels so familiar as if I had listened to it yesterday . This is some amazing stuff , pretty much like everything they did in the late 70s/80s .
@@jonny401 Wrong. To quote John, "we had this reggae piece that was not fitting, so I was listening to this and used the same notes to write Californication".. If you listen to the original reggae version, what you are saying makes it sound like you currently suffer from a drug addiction.
when as a teenage u listen the cassette so many times on your way to school that one day u broke it and buy another one , eternal gem , sublime mise en forme du spleen
This song was on the back side of a Faith cassette I purchased around '93 or so. An ignorant teenager, I thought it was a part of the original Faith album. I put it on to go to sleep and my Mom came to my room and yelled at me to turn the music down...lol
I actually saw this 'support act' movie as a kid in 1981 at one of their 'circus tent' concerts in the Netherlands. Loved it! Have listened to the cassette soo many times. I'm glad they released it on cd a few years ago, it's so good.
The story of How this was Made is Classic..Robert was Literally Dunk..and increasingly so, as he used the Drim Machine..to create this Awesome RIF/Tune. he used this as the Opening for the ORANGE tour..and some of the KISS me x3 Openers. Was offered in the US market on the Opposite side of a Double Cassette of Faith/Carnige Visors
Actually for the opening of live in orange county they never used this one, they used a sample from a song on Toxin - the title of an LP by a German synth rock group called X mal Deutschland. The same sample was also featured on The Glove Blue Sunshine - a Robert Smith and Steve Severin side project.
i remember when i was a little kid we used to make hand made bridge and each of us passed this bridge gate in his turn, this made me feel comfortable and safe. i get the same feeling hearing this tune. dont know why. grate piece
Remember this at the Hammersmith Odeon on the Faith tour. Shame the film has been lost, I never quite understood it, but am guessing it had some deep and dark meaning........The Cure at their very best.....
This is one of those cassette tapes I'm grateful I still can recall every note of... I used to play it on the tapedeck which would automatically flip to B-side when A ended. If I don't get tix to see theEasyCure this tour, I'ma b real upset for realfr 🤬
Different colored variations on the image of one of the characters is not enough! The original film and accompanying music was unforgettable, but why can no-one, anywhere, locate a copy? 34 years old and still doesn't sound dated...possibly, probably, their finest moment...
That was probably the first "Post Rock" track ever recorded...No wonder why Smith is a huge Mogwai fan...All is said ! Gallup's bass playing is absolutely amazing, you can hear the beginnings of what would become "Pornography" in 1982...
@@TheKinderfeld I read it twice over the years, so I'm just sharing an opinion... Robert Smith was very fond of Mogwai, offering the band to tour with The Cure in 2004. Post Rock was a term quoted by journalists. And it's mainly long atmospheric tracks with no singing. So, "Carnage Visors" can be seen as pre Post Rock track, but not that different from Post Rock compositions...
I know John Frusciante of the RHCP says he's influenced by this song when writing Californication. I must say I hardly hear it. I mean the repetitive playing of an Am chord followed by an F(maj7) chord is used in so many songs f.e. Cowgirl in the sand (Neil Young), I scare myself (Thomas Dolby) among sure lots others. The essental thing about the Californication version is which strings he picks and what hammer-on's he incorperates in them. That's the strenghts of his (new) guitarpart in my opinion.
It was created as the sound track to an animated short film by by Ric Gallup, Simon Gallup's brother, that was screened at the beginning of shows in place of a support band on the 1981 Faith Picture Tour. I was lucky enough to see and hear it at the Capitol Theatre Sydney.
This was on the B side to the Faith tape I picked up at a thrift store the summer I was 17. We drove all over the city at night with this gloomy shit droning on wondering when it would end. I think I gave that tape to a girl. I think she died.
+Thomas Mason IV Don't worry mate, if it's the girl I'm thinking of she works behind the counter at Greggs bakery in Mersey precinct, Stockport. Alive and well according to my sisters mates boyfriend. Result!
I think I met this same gal tending bar at some pub in Newquay. She drank like a fish and smoked like a chimney, she said she had never been with a yank so I opted to go to her flat, she drove a Yugo and this song was playin in the deck when she finally coaxed the car to start.....
Instead of a support group on the 1981 Faith tour (Picture Tour), The Cure recorded this as a soundtrack to a short abstract animation film done by Simon's brother Ric Gallup. To this day I have never seen the film.
+JustineLaLoba Lucky you! I would have given anything to have seen them in '81, but was in very early teens with no means of seeing them then. Still my favorite Cure period.
thank u sooooo much for posting this awesome darkest double album from the cure I am also a big fan of the cure , I LOL! when Robert smith, goes really dark in goth sound . cheers.
