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 wanted to create an alternative" 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...
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..
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
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.
Favorite rock star and favorite rock guitarist of all time. Paco de Lucia is my favorite guitarist of all time, but this guy is and always has been something special.
Is he not aware that he is an evolved beautiful being on this planet! He is truly the epitome of a well balanced man! Masculine and feminine together. Not in a sexual way, but in his energy. No wonder everybody loves him!!!
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.
I really love how honest & pure he´s being on this interview, it feels like if he has so much going on in his mind, that it turns so difficult to say it at all, so he f@c#...every once in a while, absoluletly brilliant! ♥
Yeah, Hollywood and the US media are full of liberal douches who say one thing (out of fear), but think something else deep down. Gotta' appease the brainwashed.
Great! But a serious pet peeve is when these people putting videos together play music in the background while the star is being interviewed. Distracting.
I loved him when I was a teen. I love him now, I see why........We have similar beliefs. His acoustic sounds earily like Pink Floyd. Yet another reason I love his voice.
I met RS at Wish concert in Pittsburgh in.. What '92.... And I swear, he was going on about the monarchy!!!.. Just kidding.. We agreed that it was a perfect early summer night to play outside and also agreed it was the best concert of my life ;-)
I literally love that man... Thank you, Robert, Simon, Porl, Boris, Roger, Reeves, Jason, Perry, Phil, Andy, Matthieu, and of course, Lol -ya goofy bastard... For all the magic, mystery and miracles...
Wow, thank you for posting this - filled with good insights -"Citizens not Subjects" - he's tapping into the founding concepts of AMERICA. At 6:20 he champions our "Meritocracy" = rewarding people who "do something we want" like create awesome CURE music! At 1:53 he looks fantastically happy.
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.
Absolutely fantastic, couldn't agree more about the royals. Got sodding Wil, Kate and the sprog in NZ at the moment and the press coverage etc is driving me insane.
Robert Smith you are a super talented man with a ❤ of gold!! You stand up for what you believe in and you cannot tolerate political parties who trample upon the everyday human being!!💗💗💗☺I absolutely love you!!☺💗💗
How could we not know you have a punk background, I never can quite tell if Robert is having a laugh? I wish The Cure would do more Ska'esque tracks again, Boys Don't Cry & Killing An Arab are awesome tunes!
I really respect this... reminds me of Bowie being outspoken for Republicanism, and refusing the offer of Knighthood.. I hope Robert follows that example of he’s ever offered it. I know he will..
oh YES, I DO love YOU 💖 I like watching you on stage, Rob... without the Band, too 😚 And you are fully right; we are one, and there's no need for "leaders". Better, they give the stolen jewels to the poor
🥀Comment ne pas aimer cet Homme, Robert Smith💙je l’aimerais❤️comme petit frère, comme doux Ami❤️j’aimerais pouvoir le serrer dans mes bras…il est si talentueux, si humble, tellement profond…Robert Smith est un homme précieux💎💎💎Anne 🥀🇫🇷 4.7.20237
I love Robert and I think political view wise I think he'd be very good friends with the artist Grayson Perry. They are both slightly cynical but do it in a funny way.
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.
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
a mi me llama la atencion lo real pero es que este robert smith the cure tiene muchos videos viejos recopilados y enfada asi com si en la actualidad no tuviese nada que mostrarnos
Roberts thoughts and words are those of an American republican. He might not realize it but Robert is a true republican. I knew there was a reason why I have Loved The Cure since the 80's. Never quit, Bob, and please play in Florida..
Scott, you're so fucking clueless, it's pathetic. It's the insane Democrats who are trying to destroy democracy. 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.
I just love Robert Smith and the Cure ...but OMG Robert get real with life today and make comments that have a bearing on change and a point of difference if you believe!
Never have I ever heard a man as honest and genuine as Robert Smith

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!
This is why I love him even more....hes a humble,real,and honest person!!!!! The greatest!!
He's basically saying that he'll never sell out, so much respect for him
Who mixed this? Seriously, who decided it's a good idea to have interview and music nearly at same level most of the time?
I like him even more after seeing this interview. He's so wonderfully honest and intelligent.
Not many rockstars like him left unfortunately.
"I wanted to create an alternative"
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...
His voice! I can't get over how he sounds like he did when he recorded three imaginary boys back in the very early 80s.
His voice just never ages. It's magic!
Dat zij ik en mijn zoon ook voicearrist
Robert you are a wonderful person and singer....the best!!!!....
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..
Real feelings and strong beleifs, makes great art
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
He's just all kinds of awesome.
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.
Robert's still as wonderfully charming and adorable as he's always been. c:
Favorite rock star and favorite rock guitarist of all time. Paco de Lucia is my favorite guitarist of all time, but this guy is and always has been something special.
I could listen to his views all day, great stuff.
There no one better than anyone else so true..Cheers Robert your the man..
"I've got no choice, and I don't really care.." 04.36. He's quite funny, actually. And his voice, and British, and swearing, haha.
Han har altid været klog og sjov ☺
he actually said "I've got no children", but yes ^^
Is he not aware that he is an evolved beautiful being on this planet! He is truly the epitome of a well balanced man! Masculine and feminine together. Not in a sexual way, but in his energy. No wonder everybody loves him!!!
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.
He’s the genuine article that stayed true to himself, his music and his fans and still does! Love the cure forever ❤
I really love how honest & pure he´s being on this interview, it feels like if he has so much going on in his mind, that it turns so difficult to say it at all, so he f@c#...every once in a while, absoluletly brilliant! ♥
Totally agree re the monarchy! It's so rare to hear people say things like this aloud, while probably most people think it.
Yeah, Hollywood and the US media are full of liberal douches who say one thing (out of fear), but think something else deep down. Gotta' appease the brainwashed.
A real musician.... a real person..they don't make them like that anymore !
Great! But a serious pet peeve is when these people putting videos together play music in the background while the star is being interviewed. Distracting.
I feel the same about royal fools and celebrities as he does, I'm surrounded by fools who love them
btw- he is a brilliant song writer
He is the REAL deal....an HONEST, REAL man!
Most men get shunned for speaking "honest." The truth hurts the thin-skinned.
Robert smith is one the best performer England has!..
this is more of a monologue rather than an interview - hes so funny! :) i absolutely love this guy to bits.
I love honesty…..so honest…. and real…Bad ass
His interviews have been amazing lately. He seems more at peace with himself and where he is in life. :D
I like him even more. Great interview, him sharing. Great team player.
he's a legend
Well fucking said Robert!
"how can people be brought for so little".. yes Robert Smith
Turn the levels of the background music DOWN!!! Great interview.
Wonderful, talented, kind man.
A true national treasure
He’d hate that though😀
I love his interviews when he’s pissed, he rambles on but it’s so interesting to hear his inner mind honesty. 💕👌🏻🎵🎶❤️👌🏻
I loved him when I was a teen. I love him now, I see why........We have similar beliefs. His acoustic sounds earily like Pink Floyd. Yet another reason I love his voice.
Brilliant guy, so much truth

I fucking love all he's saying ..... Fire in Cairo is awesome acoustic
6:43
Jokes aside, he's brilliant on his statements.
+Pedro Forastieri
Hes a brilliant guy
the voice of a generation, thx mr smith !
It's a pity the background sounds louder than what he is saying. Can't understand how a professional interviewer does not mind it.
we love the music
Indeed. Not to mention he's been amazing in interviews lately. I love the way he rails against the monarchy in britain among other things. =)
I love this man! He speaks such truth! Admire his honesty. Xx
I literally love that man... Thank you, Robert, Simon, Porl, Boris, Roger, Reeves, Jason, Perry, Phil, Andy, Matthieu, and of course, Lol -ya goofy bastard... For all the magic, mystery and miracles...

At 1:53 he looks fantastically happy.
I thought I couldn't think more highly of Robert Smith.
I agreeing with all of his points
Wise man
Robert is god
a great artist and a great man :)))
The stuff he says about monarchy is spot on. Keep up the fight Robert!
can´t watch it. having 3IB in background plus different bass noises from the stage is just ripping my ears
Wow what a great interview
Citizens not subjects.
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.
Stil love David Bowie and robert Smith hoplesy devoded to you
the cure is the cure!
Q.+++Bravoo Mr.R.J.Smith
punk background! never change Mr Bob!
Absolutely fantastic, couldn't agree more about the royals. Got sodding Wil, Kate and the sprog in NZ at the moment and the press coverage etc is driving me insane.
Robert Smith you are a super talented man with a ❤ of gold!! You stand up for what you believe in and you cannot tolerate political parties who trample upon the everyday human being!!💗💗💗☺I absolutely love you!!☺💗💗
Music was too loud
Yes, do have monarchy in Spain and many, many of us think like you about it!!
"I fucking LOVE singing!" :D
Essentially....I love his British accent.
He's speaking in an esoteric manner, but I totally get what he's saying. As true Cure fans will.
Too right, Robert! Too right.
I don't see Sir Robert Smith emerging any time soon.. this, being of course, a good thing
Easier to listen the music in the background than Robert itself.
I sing for me at home 😊you re so sweet 💖
l love this band, Becuse some one has money they are no better than me we all die go to ashes just like the next
love his rants robert should be king
How could we not know you have a punk background, I never can quite tell if Robert is having a laugh? I wish The Cure would do more Ska'esque tracks again, Boys Don't Cry & Killing An Arab are awesome tunes!
Robert Smith Based
I really respect this... reminds me of Bowie being outspoken for Republicanism, and refusing the offer of Knighthood.. I hope Robert follows that example of he’s ever offered it. I know he will..
oh YES, I DO love YOU 💖
I like watching you on stage, Rob... without the Band, too 😚
And you are fully right; we are one, and there's no need for "leaders". Better, they give the stolen jewels to the poor
nice

Three Imaginary Boys, Fire in Cairo and Open.
His smile is similar to Syd Barrett's one.
The Syd connection has always been undeniable.
6:38 I love this part hahaah
Ele é muito fofooooooooiioooo
Morrissey is pretty up there though, saw him live in December, top of his game but Robert Smith and the Cure are amazing
I love Robert and I think political view wise I think he'd be very good friends with the artist Grayson Perry. They are both slightly cynical but do it in a funny way.
Well, we do love YOU Robert. But yes, you're great with your band. (Trying to tell us not to fall in love with him, singularly. Ha)!! 🖤🖤🖤💋💋💋

Lets go
You, sir, are a twat.
He sounds more anti-establishment to me
Scott, you're so fucking clueless, it's pathetic. It's the insane Democrats who are trying to destroy democracy.

What song does Robert mean @ 1:27?
End from the Wish album.
I just love Robert Smith and the Cure ...but OMG Robert get real with life today and make comments that have a bearing on change and a point of difference if you believe!
Gosto muito.
Robert Smith= Ricky Gevious
Don't worry Robert, punk won't die. On the other hand, I don't know about the corruption.
True. Just look at Hollywood and the lib media.
A guess jugging by what you dont like.
robert smith would love the venus project im sure...
