He said that he didn't consider The Cure to be influential, he figured the whole idea to be ridiculous. It was only when he heard Dinosaur Junior's version of "Just like heaven" that he realized "Blimey, I guess we ARE making a difference in people's lives."
+RastaSaiyaman one of the many things that makes him beautiful...disintegration is one of the most important albums in my life and I'll be eternally grateful to him forever..,!!!!
Underrated guitar player and almost never interviewed about his guitar playing. He’s actually very astute about gear and getting amazing original sounds....
another reason why I love Robert smith. being 18 I'm glad I know about him and his music. but also, hes just so genuine in this. I love how fame hasn't ever gotten to his head, he's not full of himself- just so humble. and I love love love how he looks like he just wants to leave with his guitar haha, my idol.
Same, although I'm 11 and I love Robert Smith and the cure not only because he is any adorable funny and cute he is such an amazing singer and songwriter x
I met Robert after the Cure played the Roseland In 2000, his people were very clear about not crowding or touching him. Someone didn’t give this dude the memo
@@kennycaligula3081 wearing a nice clean puma jacket is scary to you? New Order wears Adidas and I'm starting abandon me and my friend were talking about doing like a goth look with Adidas and Puma
I love this video because Robert feels no obligation to do his eye rolling, tongue out stumbling front man persona. For a few minutes he’s just a guy in a guitar shop who wants to admire and talk about guitars without the need to be who people want him to be.
He does seem like a decent guy, I don’t know much about him, I’m not a big fan of the Cure. But he’s a hero for the way he puts up With that guy’s annoying bullshit.
Look how Robert is playing along though he clearly doesn't get why you would want to write with a marker on such a wonderful guitar that Mr Touchy-Feely's probably never ever going to play :D
@@HughSHay yeah but I’m sure he also understands guitars. Writing on a guitar is about as lame as it gets. And I can’t tell you how many times I’ve seen some asshole trying to flog a cheap guitar for many times what it was worth because some “star” signed it and not get a nibble.
Nicole Revette that was my favorite bit i know exactly what he means me and my brother had our pics taken proudly showing the camera what my Xmas gift we had and nobody thought to share the joke I think he would have responded to that rather than "that's beautiful shot Robert just one more" some so rude and impatient like Lens piranhas lol
loving this! Robert Smith being so awkward whilst remaining so congenial and polite! The trappings of recognised talent. you can tell how much he wants to give his own new guitar a crack. Would have loved to see that ~ watching Smith run through his new guitars capabilities and what he would have chosen to play while he was testing it out. (yeah, shameless fangirl here. Disintegration was the first album I ever bought. On vinyl. when I was 11)
what a gem who ever posted this!!! Robert smith has been a big influence in my life. being 51 and a musician (pro) I don't have the time to listen to music like I did when growing up...Robert smith is by far one of the most underrated guitar player of his timeonly now is he getting the credit he deserves...if you want pure Cure you have to listen to Disintegration (my fav) deep as it goes with intense guitars and smith suffing at a all time high...the great thing with the Cure you can hear the growth from the very beginning. all the way up untill now. IM waiting to hear what's next for the great Cure...tickets not yet on sale neither any new material who is this meat head that gets tomeet robert and get a guitar that he probably cant play.and Ihe had the nerve to call Robert BOB!! kill me now! I wiilgl oo the show with a fake press pass and do what I have to...once again thanx for the post watched 50 times
Encountered Mr Smith in the early 90s when he was shopping for an acoustic (Hanks in Denmark St.) He seemed to want some space so I simply walked last nodded to him and said thanks, he simply smiled and seemed to appreciate being given the personal space.
He’s probably someone that’s got a little bit of money, idolizes anybody who is anybody and wants to be in the middle of everything. I hate people like that. They scare the crap outta me. LOL
When he started talking after posing he seemed generally interested in the guitar. I'm an American and I get it we are annoying, pompous and arrogant. As far as Robert Smith goes, I love him but he's always a little annoyed and probably doesn't like people always wanting a part of him.
Just watched it a second time. You can clearly tell Robert’s patience is being tested, and the the firm hand on the back when he’s bending down? Wth ? NOBODY likes that.
“It’s the reason why I got it” jeez the guy said it like 15 times. Poor Robert he kept talking to him about random stuff and putting his hands on him like...😬
I can think of many "stars" that go mental when people film them...Bob really doesn't give a shit.....To him it's the music....Kind of an antirock/pop star approach. Great bloke.
Who are the people with him and the guy with Puma jacket who had the guitar and said Robert HAD to sign his guitar? Title talks about Robert getting one but looked like other stuff going on
Why wasn't he allowed to to touch the black guitar, he was told it was too precious to him the other guy said, well Robert's rock royalty, Robert is worth more than any guitar, plus could buy any with the millions of cash he has, it's the artist they should be fixated on not a toy, good on you Robert your very humble
At first i thought it was his roadie or body guard - Then the situation got so cringy as he began to get all so touchy and close - I felt pain for Robert here - I doubt this would have happened in London.
Yeah, he says in the video he used the same model as the record exec was holding (the red one is not the same). I was pretty certain he did t like national guitars though - maybe in a live setting.
Why zoom in on his face ? To gauge his reaction based on his patience for tolerance of intrusion simply to judge him by his moral character? I don’t know... It looks bad, like maybe someone was just looking to expose him for his human imperfections.
O.K. who the fuck is this guy with Robert? He snatches The Red Guitar that Robert has just bought., and Robert is too polite to gripe 'bout it, but u can clearly see the frustration on his face.....I love u Robert.......
I love how awkward Robert is...he isn't someone who has done anything for fame or the limelight just a genuine artist...we need more like him...!!!!
I agree! I will always love Robert Smith
He said that he didn't consider The Cure to be influential, he figured the whole idea to be ridiculous. It was only when he heard Dinosaur Junior's version of "Just like heaven" that he realized "Blimey, I guess we ARE making a difference in people's lives."
+RastaSaiyaman one of the many things that makes him beautiful...disintegration is one of the most important albums in my life and I'll be eternally grateful to him forever..,!!!!
This is what I adore about him. Talented, awkward and beautiful.
I met him after a show once. The most down to earth person for being in a famous band. He was happy to talk about anything.
On 0:21 how Robert tries to grab the guitar, God I love it haha
Me too
Give me it now 😂😂😂
yeah indeed I really like how he looks so suddenly like a child who wants his present
hahahahahaha
He was not happy.
"It's like Christmas." Robert's wit never fails.
Now I got "Other Voices" in my head again
Robert is one of the greatest songwriters and guitarists who's ever lived..I'm so glad that I've grown up on this Earth at the same time as him.
Fine words, sir/madam
I completely agree.
Underrated guitar player and almost never interviewed about his guitar playing. He’s actually very astute about gear and getting amazing original sounds....
He's the reason I started playing and getting into effects pedals!

You tikes have an unhealthy obsession with age.
After all these years and still as humble as ever. What a genuinely cool guy.
I feel Robert's pain here. The guy couldn't stop touching him. I would have not been so polite.
Lakota828 he was great with it. Free guitar or no. I would not like someone dressed like that get familiar.

was chatting to his bassist the other night Simon Gallup! top bloke.
“It’s like Christmas.”
Love it.
People forget that this man is not just a guitar god, but actually god.
Guitar God?? He's barely a singer mate.🤣
@@matthazelby506
I love his songwriting skills but he’s not by any means a “guitar god.” For that look at Jeff Beck, Jimmy Page, Steve Vai. .
@@DavidJones-sc6jc Blah blah blah
Who are these sycophantic, ballcapped knobs? RS has the patience of a saint.

Fantastic !
Thank you for this !
Robert is amazing
His voice 😍😍😍
Happy New Year to all & everyone ✨✨🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉

Disintegration: The Best Album ever!!!!!
King of cool, Robert Smith.
Really great lyrics. Beautiful sound. Wow. Thanks for sharing this Rick. It makes me want to smooth out my own recordings.
Just an FYI - Sixpence None the Richer has a new record coming.
Robert is such a good sport. What a class act.
Robert is sooo CUTE !!!
Roberts sister was the families musical Prodigy, can one imagine how talented they are. Wonder if the parents played.

Robert Smith of "CURE" is one of the coolest dudes on the planet, and he is a ROCK music legend, and still sounds great like in the '80s
Forever humble and fantastic guy
Robert Smith still rocking!!!
He’s so amazing
Robert is adorable af.... :)
So talented and kind:)

I love that roberts shirt is wrinkled lol. No fucks given. I ❤️ Robert Smith and the Cure
He looks like "gawd when will this shit be over"
he looks so awkward
Who is the dude in the hat and why is he acting like Robert is his date??? This whole video is really awkward to watch...
He’s probably someone that’s got a little bit of money, idolizes anybody who is anybody and wants to be in the middle of everything.
I hate people like that. They scare the crap outta me. LOL
Jordan Schur. Record label exec. Real duche.
Poor Robert he’s being nice when he rather be at home.
"Americans are so annoying" in Roberts mind......
anyone in general is annoying for him
@@buffy8021 I think it's just Muppets that don't understand art UK

@@jackstraw6760 We still build good guitars. Our cars unfortunately...not so good these days.
@@devinthierault we used to have somewhat decent Presidents. Agree with Borris or not, he's at least likeable.
Robert Smith is adorable
I saw the Cure in concert in Manchester in 2016.
Beautiful guitar!! but Bad Touch! at 4:18 notice Robert keeps backing away lol
Seriously, I probably would have lost my cool by that point. What the hell was that guy thinking?
He probably forgot that Robert is married already
Just watched it a second time.
You can clearly tell Robert’s patience is being tested, and the the firm hand on the back when he’s bending down? Wth ?
NOBODY likes that.
"Homeless guy pretending to be Robert Smith gets free guitar....."
idiot comment
🤣
That would have been effing hilarious.
This is a phenomenal post. To See Robert Smith receive a new axe is amazing. It's like handing Sade the mic.
When Justin Sadler says he got a picture with Robert Smith I believe him.
que amable, es un gran tipo!!
“It’s the reason why I got it” jeez the guy said it like 15 times. Poor Robert he kept talking to him about random stuff and putting his hands on him like...😬
That guitar is really cool. Robert Smith has coolest guitars.
Who is this man in the hat and why does he keep touching Robert?

Mr Ever SO Humble Robert Smith,,,,,,,,,, zenmaster of rock,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,
Why wasn't he allowed to to touch the black guitar, he was told it was too precious to him the other guy said, well Robert's rock royalty, Robert is worth more than any guitar, plus could buy any with the millions of cash he has, it's the artist they should be fixated on not a toy, good on you Robert your very humble
At first i thought it was his roadie or body guard - Then the situation got so cringy as he began to get all so touchy and close - I felt pain for Robert here - I doubt this would have happened in London.
I feel like people are being too hard on the guy touching. I would be nervous too if I saw one of my idols right next to me!
Any one knows which Airline model Robert is buying, please?
He played this guitar on disintegration
+Leandro Snm How could he? This is 2004. 'Disintegration' was released in 1989. He used a 'National' but not the one he purchased here.
Yeah, he says in the video he used the same model as the record exec was holding (the red one is not the same). I was pretty certain he did t like national guitars though - maybe in a live setting.
ok, "this guitar model" then... correct now?
How patient he was......fame, what's your name
I love Robert Smith
My favorite 🐐
thats so rad
He is right that pickup in bridge is great
Hourraaaaay i signed a big contract
Robert!!!!!!!!!!
Whats Guitar Is it ? Name Luthier ? Is beautiful !
The Brand is called National... interesting guitars...
Eres un Sueñoo Roberts 🇲🇽
Great guy
Fantastic Guitar
I would never dream of putting my arm around a perfect stranger, let alone a famous person, Robert it too polite, it’s an English thing
They aren't strangers - he's a record exec with their then label Elektra.
This is ultra American. I'm surprised he didn't get called Bob
Very awesome and awkward ! YEAH !
Why zoom in on his face ? To gauge his reaction based on his patience for tolerance of intrusion simply to judge him by his moral character?
I don’t know... It looks bad, like maybe someone was just looking to expose him for his human imperfections.
I zoomed in on his face to get a proper focus position you genius LOL :D
