  • 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.

    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. There are no sides to take.

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.

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.

      @Brandon Munoz No it's you who doesn't understand that. So much so you straw manned my position like there was no tomorrow. The next time you have a problem with what somebody said then address what they actually said and not what you wish they said....

    Hmmm , this reminds me of an empty-headed shrieking ‘journalist’ , backstage at an open-air event prior to stage entrance asking Freddie Mercury what it was like to perform in front of 65000 adoring fans at Milton Keynes at the height of their commercial fame in the 1990s. ‘Don’t know . I haven’t done it yet’. Classic British understatement , and it shut her up instantly .
