English rock band The Cure have been inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame but that news has been overshadowed by an interview on the red carpet.
Subscribe to Guardian News on RU-vid ► bit.ly/guardian...
Lead singer Robert Smith's blunt response to a very excitable American interviewer has been viewed over eight million times. It becomes glaringly apparent that the band was a lot less enthusiastic about their induction into the rock hall of fame than their interviewer Carrie Keagan.

Personally, this didn't even sound insulting. He was more insulting himself, is how I heard it. The British can be so self-deprecating (plus he has mental health problems) so it sounds like he was just putting himself down for not being as excited. But yeah, he was surely poking at her a little.

I think he refers to the fact that the R&R HOF is a sham...it is not like it's listeners choice...it a bunch of people who in there overblown opined view decide who is " in"...many great bands have been skipped. This is why TR&RHOF is a farce as far as fans go .

I think she was not overzealous, but rather just excited to meet a cool guy like Robert. I also feel that Robert was not being rude but was just being himself. What happened here is that two different personalities met with each other and simply bounced off of each other like opposing magnets. We don't need to take his or her side.

It's no secret that Robert isn't fond of social interactions. That's just how he is and he's not afraid to show it. I respect that. I saw them in concert a couple of years ago, and though I fantasized about meeting them and getting an autograph, I knew it wasn't going to happen. After their final number, Robert said, "You've been very sweet," and poof, they were gone. C'est la vie.

@davidellis5141 5 лет назад

@MYHOLLANDGIRL I call BS on every comment you made. The British " Dry " sense of humour is clearly over your head. You mention Tears For Fears as also rans , they were huge in The 🇺🇸 , they ripped off Simpminds " Waterfront " but scored a #1 hit . Elektra did well by The Cure but notice Robert only thanked Chris Parry not anyone at Elektra. So , you displayed massive ignorance & are an outright liar as well. You have to live with yourself. Enjoy !

I haven’t done it yet’. Classic British understatement , and it shut her up instantly .

And yet he STOLE his "look" from Siouxsie Sioux, lol. Don't get me wrong. I love the Cure. But you can't help but see that (and there are videos here on YT that show the band, in their infancy, where Robert is sporting a kind-of flat-top haircut, more like David Gahan, and no lipstick or eyeliner; looked like a normal bloke). Siouxsie was clearly an influence on Robert when he was their guitarist for a time.
