The Cure perform "A Forest" at the 2019 Rock & Roll Hall of Fame Induction Ceremony 

Indeed

Yes, but for me personally they'll never play it as unique as when I first saw them in 1981

Yes it is.

Perfectly stated !

Agreed but I like lullaby and closer more

♥️

beautifully said 🖤

Hai ragione, fa star bene...

Best comment i ve read about the cure

They were great live

Yas totally and thats absoluetly amazing and incredible ! I noticed that! His voice never change

@@osirisb221 He doesn't smoke and probably doesn't drink to excess which would help. Damage done earlier in life tends to show as the decades roll by.

Yes!!! Simply Red is another whose voice has held up after all the years.

He's not exactly screaming he's guts out like Robert plant or Rob Halford..

I'm no fan boy (but I am a pretty big fan, for nearly 35 years now), and Hyde Park 2018 was simply great. Every song was played and sung so clearly x

Even though he's singing a lower register on this one when you listen to his other stuff he still sounds like you did when he was young... That is rare

I was gonna say the same thing he sounds exactly the same!!!

His voice has aged really well- saw them in Glasgow last year and Robert Smith sounded brand new, especially considering how they play for 3 hours every night

angel voice. never dies.

Yes! The best🙏☝👍❤

I don’t mind him being old, that happens to us all, I mind that his cosmetics make him look like the mad cat woman at the end of our road.

That’s so awesome dude!

Lucky guys....

Totally agree...his voice is the same as it was in the early 80s....long live the CURE....

@@nickhybner8485 back atcha brother. We have seen them 3xs together starting with the Wish tour. Beatles Stones Cure!

Very cool!

Awesome time to be alive. Then and now.

And to think I haven't seen them since the Wish tour in 92 and they're smashing it harder (apart from the lame ending on this one) than they did then!

Reading your second to last sentence, I do understand more clearly now why your wife left you

I do a lot of things better today, than at 20. But I’m still a horrible singer. 😆

it seems like it could have been made yesterday A Forest is a timeless song

😎

Simon paid off the sound guy.

This is the most appropriate comment about The Cure I have ever read.

Generally in goth rock the bass guitar is the loudest instrument.

Simon Gallup, one of Cure' signature...lead bass.

So right sister. I often think the the same thing.

Don't even talk to me about that

I feel exactly the same...

That's for sure, make sure u get the next generation to listen to to it in the car car or something so they can have a good understanding of the music n pass it on n so n so on. 💐🇨🇮🎵🎶🎵🎧

Your the absolute best

Its the same how in 1990👋👋👋👍

Naaaa, this is it kind of boring song.

@@rmmmm4653 for that era, post punk scene. This song is relevant

For example this one.

The heaven one wasn’t that shit hot, was pretty mediocre

They have a lot of realy shitty song, A LOT.

That's the Cure way.

Simon Gallup is the Cure’s secret weapon. His bass lines are recognizable and iconic.

Snaredrum sounds like s***t.

Also one of my favorites.... 🥰

And Robert's delicate lead guitar in it is magnificent.

They were kind of ahead of their time in a way, that's probably a cliche, oh well.

You forgot DarkWave...all before Gothic...thats how Goth started ;)

♥️

Lucky you

I just wrote basically the same thing on the "Shake Dog Shake" video. They were brilliant!

Except that Def Leppard was better.

@@rooh5825 it's like orange and apple, none is better than the other. It's all about taste and preference

@@rooh5825 Hahahahahahahahahahaha People we're getting up and leaving during Def Leppard. Because they suck. And The Cure are the best live band out there.

Can listen to that play in on repeat

His amp is too loud, drowning out the rest of the players

@@geekUSA101 obviously you don't play bass

@@herryeah6294 I play guitar and drums. His bass is too loud

It’s isn’t just too loud, the tone is too trebly and scratchy sound. I don’t like it.

YES!!

Robert’s voice is like chicken soup.

they were the cure for my breakup and even still i know the groups music is there for me when others really aren't

Well they alive now so be grateful 💃🏻

Fuck yeah💯‼️🤘☠️🖤. Just said what we were all thinking..

Totally agree and also Siouxsie, Bahaus, Joy Division, ..Beautiful years, Beautiful youth

If God existed he would have brought forth 100 or more bands from the Cures time and place instead of keeping them buried in the alternative/new wave underground forcing bands like Bon Jovi and other top 40 crap upon us.

@@diggerthegroundhog8799 Bon Jovi was a cheap bar band, maybe 2/3 good songs.

Awesome times… Ive been a guitarist for over 50 years … around that time don’t also forget XTC , Steve Hillage, and ahh, The Groundhogs with Tony McPhee… Great days lads!

♥️

Mark Lochala Absolutely 💯 and the Drums are tight as well...

@@rgordon2691 the snare sounds like a piece of paper on a piece of cardboard being hit with a pencil

Spot on Mark 👍🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

No way, music hasnt been written this good in decades....maybe the early 90's. No one has creativity anymore. But you are right, it is timeless...their music speaks to the heart.

@@stephenwhite5444 You’re not looking in the right places. There’s a lot of good alternative and indie music that’s come out recently. Check out Clairo, King Krule, Mitski, Current Joys and Good Morning just to name a few. Most new pop music on the other hand is trash.

@@stephenwhite5444 top 40s isn't the only music in the world

I hear you!

Fascination Street

he was singing songs of dreams and horror fantasys

@@matthewread1545Some Angel has made a mix of Fascination Street & It’s No Good here on RU-vid. You’ll never hear FS the same again. It really is genius.

Точно так же и у меня! Проник серьезно в The Cure только после 50 годов.👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼

Ever heard of the Red Hot Chili Peppers? ;-)

Steve Harris of Iron Maiden anyone?

Steve Harris >

Uhh John Entwistle! Oooooh.... you said cardio..... I thought you said cocaine.... 😅

Says it all ‘your 8 year old loves it ‘ ......very simple kind of music

@@humanactivated1017 simple =/= bad

Excellent tune!!!

cause the last drummer....

Staying at the top!

Really? I've always thought The Cure's first 15 years was WAAAAY better than the past 30 years. I couldn't name a single hit song of theirs since "Friday I'm In Love" in 1992. They were consistently great up until then. Not so great since then.

@@carlmarks8170 True

@@carlmarks8170 Hit song? Well, no, but I can think of several that are particularly good, 'Want', 'Out of This World', and 'Labyrinth' among them.

@@carlmarks8170 I think it’s simply because their beginning material was that good. A lot of bands have released great or even better songs in their later years. The Cure however were so good in the beginning that it was never the same. Im not even from that era and to me it’s clear.

♥️

Incredibly small list.

too loud and scratchy in the mix.

Emerica2020 we knew it from the day we first heard them the first time didn’t we? There is no one like them now or ever.

Non only one....

Yep. Play with passion.

He’s precious!

Es una leyenda hermana. Hay que disfrutar esto que nos queda

What is the song about?? 🌳🌲🪵🪵🪵😮

@@MicheleMcAdoo Robert Smith of the Cure wrote it about his wife who at the time was his girlfriend and I believe to show how much he loved her. He references the ocean in the song because a trip he took with her in real life to the ocean inspired the lyrics. To me it always described a sort of love found and love lost type of tune. Beautiful and sad at the same time. Fantastic lyrics.

That's Simon for ya.

I need to hear it on a better stereo than my cellphone. His bass sounds very skeletal and I can't hear Robert well.They played an amazing version of this and 100 years in New Orleans in 1999.They didn't have Reves,who is incredible. But they ruled.Sadly I never got to see them with Porl.I saw em again in New Orleans a few years ago with Reves and they were incredible.Robert plus a world class #2 guitarist is awesome. But when Robert doesn't have Reves or Porl,his epic skills get showcased even more. Ive seen the Cure twice. PIL 4 times(89,12,15,18)and Ministry multiple times. I regret never seeing New Order although I have seen Peter Hook and the Light twice,and made 2 pilgrimages to Manchester to honor Joy Division/New Order. If you are an old fart like me and haven't seen any or all of these legendary acts I mentioned,do it.If you are a youngin,go see what real music is,as opposed to dubstep or mumble rap(no offense,i like electronic music and good rap)-or whatever new unoriginal shit that is popular these days

It reminds me the bass from g&r you could be mine LOL... I am fucked up 🥳

@@concordiaciviummurusurbium9527 Both bassists use a chorus pedal so you might not be as fucked up as you think!

Patrick Timothy Hell yeah. I'm 23 years old now, know the band since at least 2011, but just became a fan for real, and could understand their music, around 2015; a little late, but I'm pretty happy that I did. Really hoping that they come down here to Brazil again In the future.

They played Lovesong 🤦🏼‍♀️

@@Peach567 yup they did 😬 wish it was something more offbeat, but I guess everyone wants that and just like heaven

I saw The Cure live and they were pretty good but the three equal best gigs I ever experienced were Fela Kuti, Laurie Anderson and The Rolling Stones ☺️

Nah that drum machine was shit, but the keys were not different at all.

the song that turned me into a curehead the day i heard it

Just like heaven

Perfekt combination

Lol..😆...but amazing group ...👍

Man I wish I could look like 25 again 🤪🥸

He does not xD I think this blurred lipstick inky tumbleweed hair look he adopted more than 40 years ago, works completely in his favour now in his late 50s. It's like a new version of the same super talented RS.
