I'm not gay pal, but he is quite captivating. Not in a way of me wanting to do stuff with him in that way, but just a cool cat who happens to look attractive as he looks like a woman, but I am only into women my friend, that is just the way I sway. Just confident enough in my straightness that I can admire this stud man who is lovely to the eyes.
Robert Smith, you made the world so much bearable for us awkward artistic minded teenagers, growing up in tedious villages in late eighties rural Norway. Thank you!
When he was asked how HE was doing, he was all shy n shit but when the conversation went to the music, he was comfortable and in his element. He is a shy dude but obviously loves creating music.
Robert Smith is absolutely adorable. He’s smart, clever, funny, has a sense of humour, writes beautiful lyrics, and is so cool and talented. I love that Mary and him have been together all their lives, they’re together for love not for his money or fame. He so humble and not at all conceited. I love him! Puts all the divas to shame. Proud to be British, what a legend! Robert Smith is awesome!
This rock star has quite the personality. Thoughtful, articulate, humorous, genuine, and overall very likeable in comparison to most of his peers in the rock world. Wish more high profile personalities were genuinely as likeable as this man.
I'm so glad Robert Smith also has trouble making eye contact when people talk to him, now I don't feel so lonely when people talk to me and I barely look at them.
That episode literally compelled me to go buy a copy of “Disintegration” from my record store. Before then, I had only been a casual fan. I always loved “Kiss Me...”, but holy hell, sitting down and letting Disintegration take over my house was a different experience. To this day I feel like I’ve been in another world for some time by the time I reach the title-track. “DISINTEGRATION IS THE BEST ALBUM EVER!”
@@jonathannagel7427 Hockey jerseys were In the mid-90s actually, during the WMS album and tour. It was such a startling fashion transition compared to the Wish period a few years before.
8:16 I don’t know why but him talking about his hair is the cutest thing. And the way he smiles when he talks about Mary just melts my heart, they’re so in love 😍 and aw he’s wearing simons shirt ; he is the most adorable person ever. This entire interview is just a never ending stream of gorgeous, he’s so adorably shy
@@tofikk yeah I dont understand why morrissey dislikes the cure and joy division so much. Especially the cure. Was probably just to stir things up haha
there is no words other than love! i just had a crazy dream about rob buying shoes in a crappy american mall and i got to play basketball with him. i truly lost it!
An absolute sweetheart. The absolute power and influence robert smith and The Cure has had on millions of people around the world is indescribable. At 22 i cannot thank them enough for putting their art into the world.
Robert is truly a visionary and an amazing artist. He has stood the test of time and continues to play to packed arenas to this day! I could listen to him talk about his music for hours because of his passion for it.
We all are SO in luv with bobby he's so cute n funny and awesome and lovely... That's the secret of cure's succes and his great songs... They just go togheter...
This was just months after he let me kiss him. I gave him my extracted wisdom teeth as a gift which he loved. Simon thought it was gross. 😝 😆 I took the band club hopping downtown after the show in Detroit and spent the night ordering room service with them at the Renaissance Centre Hotel in Detroit. First time I tried capers. I wanted pancakes. Robert phoned the kitchen and asked for them to bring some up to our room. They said it was 3 a.m. and the kitchen wouldn't cook anything. So Robert, the gentleman that he is (and a wee bit drunk at the time ~ " Socially Drinking" 😆), asked if they would bring up some pancake batter and a hotplate, so he could make them for me himself. Unfortunately, the kitchen declined. So we ate assorted garnishes like capers. 😆 I was 19 and my parents had no knowledge of this great secret escapade. They're both gone now. It was the most spectacular night of my life. Thank you, Father Bob. p.s. You're a fabulous dancer.
@@2koP7 He let me give him a kiss on the lips. It was very innocent. He was my idol and was very kind to this young girl who adored him. There was no funny business.
I hope you’re okay 🥺 2020 was the worst year of my life as well, indescribable depression and sadness but i pushed through and i hope you did as well. Sending love.
Sweet, shy, and humble...Damn, been watching his latest interviews and I can say that he still has the same personality. No wonder, he and his wife are still together.
@@danc3693 you're probably like 40 years old and I commented that like so long ago. No, i don't know him personally but I have gotten to meet him about 3 times now. He's the sweetest and super shy
I do love that Robert Smith sounds exactly as expected. Very relaxing to listen to this interview. I love the chemistry between the legitimately interested interviewer and an icon.
Robert Smith is an icon. His style is all his own and when you hear The Cure, they have an unmistakable style. Way cool guy too! Thank you for the video
Robert rocks. Saw him live just the other day in South Africa. What an experience! The man has lost nothing. The Cure sounded even better in 2019 live, than they did in the eighties. Seeing them live was a dream come true.
@@gak-man9642 I was at the the Glasgow show, also my first time seeing the Cure and what a show it was! 29 years old and have managed to see my all time greatest band, we're lucky people!
The cure were one of the biggest bands in the world at the time of this video. _Disintegration_ rocketed them to stardom beyond anything they would have imagined.
@@surroundgatari I didn't say Disintegration came out in 1987, I said at the time of the interview they were one of the biggest bands in the world....and Disintegration brought them greater success.
Used to love the cure as a teen! Had all of their albums plus picture discs! I was really happy when he agreed to do this interview on my favourite weekend show! I miss night network.
He’s still like this today. I saw him in May. He wouldn’t really talk between songs. But if he would say anything at all it looked like it was painful. Other times he would sometimes start saying something and say never mind. Amazing concert though. I’m 50 and this was my first time seeing them. Was better than I could have imagined. They played for almost 3 hours and he sounds great.
Yes the Cure released innovative music but also innovative music videos! This would have to be one of the best Robert Smith interviews as he really opens up about his creative processes with The Cure.
That "staring at the sea" video compilation was my introduction to the cure and I fell in love! My sister bought it and I couldn't stop watching it!! I used to watch the "jumping someone else's train" video and shout the names of every station as you pass them because I used to go to school on that London Victoria to Brighton line. Anyhoo,
i just noticed i posted almost the exact same comment a while back! I also can't believe I've found out what that Picture Show bit was after all this time.. I tried to find out what all the other in-between bits were from but haven't really found too much info. One is MTV unplugged though.
I have a piece of autographed jeans..from Nocturne-Banshees in Sydney 1983..i stuck my leg through his mini van window...one of the greatest gigs i ever saw...
The first time I listened to the cure was in my basement....it was funny robert said he lived in the basement, I kept being a fan due to the melancholic lifestyle I was in...I did end up meeting robert smith
I love how he starts out shy, and short for words, then completely opens up when it becomes clear the interviewer wants to talk music, and creative process. Love it.
Robert avoided the interviewers question about marriage, even though at this point he would have known he was getting married to Mary the following year.
snowbelle74 ,robert may have known he was getting married but him and marry also discussed the fact of not having kids, but to only be together ...so yeah theirs a hint in his laugh about his love n hate ...ects
Robert, we fan girls all hated it when you cut it too. I was crestfallen when I saw it short for the first time and I was so glad you went back to your iconic look.
