    Never have I ever heard a man as honest and genuine as Robert Smith

      Robert Smith & Peter Hamill still of VDGG are the two song writers or band front men I kind of respect as like when he’s talking here his words & thoughts seem genuine or actually from their soul & mind. I guess it’s authenticity . I still believe John Lydon says half what he says to get a reaction 🏴❤️👍

    I love how humble he is and how he always insists on saying that HE is NOT the Cure. My respects go for you, Robert!

    I wish he was still as incredibly gorgeous as he was 20 years ago!!! But I fall in love with him again everything I hear him speak or sing, he is so oddly endearing. Can't ever get enough of him!

      onyxena unfortunately we age and get that middle age spread but it didn’t help all the drinking he did over the years lol if he would at least cut his hair maybe die it that would help

    one of the best gig i've ever seen.. and I was so glad to see finaly Roger on the stage! makes me happy that there are bands like THE CURE who really cares about us, fans :-) Robert is such a great person, he is a star and still .. cute.. himself. no one should ever fall in love with the performer, you're right, Rob, but we simply do..

  • @emilyoakland2568
    @emilyoakland2568 12 лет назад +7

    Robert Smith is ace! He's a great person. He's a good singer, he's a good guitarist and I think him entertaining the crowd when the band was having technical problems, that's very good of him.

  • @kaseycarbone9465
    @kaseycarbone9465 12 лет назад +6

    Smith has always given brilliant interviews, but in recent years he's become much more fired up and animated. The man is finally coming out of his shell.

    Jesus Christ Robert, you created alternative. You were at the forefront of goth and post-punk, you and Joy Division and your friend Siouxisie invented alternative music...

    Robert, you just concentrate on staying as true and colourful as you are. The monarchy will always mean nothing to the people who understand you, so who else are you arguing for. The underground community of free minds will always resist.

Your lot think it's okay to steal from the working man and give to lowlifes leeching off the system, not to mention hand-outs to ILLEGAL ALIENS, some of which are criminals. Your p.c. society is sexist towards men, and racist towards whites. Oh, right, we're "entitled." Ha, the entitled ones are the very opposite. Get a clue, boy.

      @TakerMJCSfan 3 года назад +1

      It’s a little too late for that warning I was first introduced him one of the Music channels I don’t remember if it was VH1 or MTV but I saw the lovesong video and didn’t know how to process Roberts image how long with the bands image so I took a long hiatus and in 2005 I got re-introduced to the band and became obsessed then had to take another long break and now I’m back I feel like I missed out on a lot when it comes to the band and their performances and their music but I’m glad that the band got inducted into the rock ‘n’ roll Hall of Fame and I’m also glad that Robert got to work with the churches on how not to drowned, I had chills all throughout my body when his part in the song came on, that made me so very happy and excited for what’s to come for not only Robert but the band as well.
      I have yet to see them in person at a concert haven’t seen them live yet I would like to do that sometime but I don’t know when that’s gonna happen it’s all the shit that’s going on in the world.

    • @TakerMJCSfan
      @TakerMJCSfan 3 года назад

      Mary Is very lucky woman there’s a lot of women out in the world that would love to have a man like Robert as a boyfriend or husband. It’s very hard not to fall in love with a performer as a fan because they give you something that helps you escape the bullshit in life just for a little bit and then you have to come back to reality but I love hearing them talk I feel like I missed out on a lot because I had to take a long hiatus and I have a lot of catching up to do now
