The Cure

[oneulove]

I'm listening to a bunch of old cds ...and the Cure came up...and well they sound different, they sound better...I like them more than I did before!

[fifi]

yeah i like the cure. :)
i love boys don't cry and lulluby ;)

[oneulove]

LOL I saw the Boys Don't Cry video the other day....I got all nostalgic...What's happened to all the great music in the world?!?!

[fifi]

:lol: omg the last time i even heard that song was in the wedding singer :/
yeah ya can't beat the oldies :P

[oneulove]

They had it on an episode of I Love the 80's (though I will not formally admit to watching the show in its entirety

[fifi]

:lol: :lol: :sneaky:

[Sierra Kay]

oo! the cure = goodness times a million! I listen to them all the time!

[artemetus]

Oh yeah.. finally a thread for The Cure. Boys Don't Cry.. A Forest.. ooohh yeah!

[staring elf]

I like them, tho i havent heard many of their songs, but they are still great :blush:

[*Justine*]

I am seeing the Cure next month with interpol, Muse, Mogwai, Rapture, Auf Der Maur, Cooper Temple Clause and Head Automatica.

This is going to be the best concert ever. :D

[*Justine*]

actually, if anyone is interested, I am selling my old tickets.

Toronto, Aug 9th at the Molson Amp. They are section 203 row M. I am asking face value for them.

message me if you are interested.

[Juliana]

The Cure is really nice.
Have you heard The End Of The World?

[*Justine*]

yes. I have the new album.

[Juliana]

Great! Is it nice?! I´d like to buy it too.

[Kareena]

The new album is great! But he has to broaden his scope lyrically. Every song has a chorus ending in you. And he say's I'm in Love about a 1000 times. Not very goth!

[Juliana]

Uh..That´s true.

[*Justine*]

My curiosa tickets sold in under a day. :P

[Evori]

i saw them playing live in xacobeo festival! :D they were so good and cool! hehe i loved their anthems hehe :P and robert smith was so emotional, they did 4 bises (sp) :stunned:

and they played after lou reed :dozey:, MUSE :D (the best gig that night!! :cool: ) and starsailor :)

[headbanger_bassist]

mah daddy bought the new album for me and my sister, she really likes it. i'm not crazy about it myself, but its better than most punk ;)

[badlydrawngirl]

The Cure aren't punk :huh:

anyway, what an aaaamazing band, their old stuff IS better though.
The Lovecats
A Forest
Lullaby
Friday I'm In Love

CLASSICS PEOPLE CLASSICS! :cool:

[*Justine*]

I think he was saying that Cure is better than punk music.

[MrsBerry]

I love The Cure ! Old stuff though... Disintegration is one of their best albums ever !

[badlydrawngirl]

I think he was saying that Cure is better than punk music.



ok fair enough, i must have misunderstood. but that was a 'she' rather than a 'he'. :P

[*Justine*]

lol. :)

you held on. Or...you're in love but not loved
in return.

Friday I'm in Love - You're carefree and still single-spirited. You like relationships only when they suit you and you tend to cast others aside sometimes. Try not to be so cold.

[bart]

[Liz26]

Heard them propley for the first time the other night what a band !! Pure class

wow, first time huh? yes, they are fabulous...i've always loved the cure...i should find this pic i took when i was like 14 or something of me standing on my bed in front of one of my walls full of cure posters. it was like my wallpaper in my room hehe.

[badlydrawngirl]

actually, the cure WERE sorta punk, in the late 70's anyway


i mean the stuff they did in the 80's. they're kinda seen as an 'indie' band. whatever the hell that really means!
:confused: :idea2:

[Liz26]

yeah, i never understood some of the categories the cure were put in, but oh well! hehe...they're great anyway. :D

[badlydrawngirl]

indeed :cool:

[interpol]

i just dont believe it. why do people have to cover original songs? their always horrible and so crappy. its up at chain of flowers. in the audio section.

[mycdplayerisbroke]

how do you not cover an original song?

[badlydrawngirl]

well the cure are quite established as a good band in their own right so..... :idea2:

[*Justine*]

Good thing Interpol didn't cover it. :P

[interpol]

Good thing Interpol didn't cover it. :P

i know. they would bring a more fuck-up then the cure

[interpol]

how do you not cover an original song?

quite easily. you never play it in a different band.

[mycdplayerisbroke]

so they covered their own song?
hmm how does that work...

[interpol]

so they covered their own song?
hmm how does that work...

frankly you are a fucking moron. love will tear us apart was created by a band of the name joy division. the cure covered, what i mean by covered is that they performed it, and what my opening post suggested, it sucked.
do you understand now?

[Reilly]

New Order covered it, but it was more of paying homage to it. Everyone INDIE wanted Joy Division to win Best song of the last 25 years at Brits 25, but they didnt. So at the NME New Order basically sang the song exactly as Joy Division played it, they didnt try to put a spin on it so they didnt really do a COVER "VERSION" of it they just played it.

And it was ok.

[Gas_Man]

^^ i was going to reply with something similar, but, he has everything i wanted to say pretty much 'covered' :cheesy:

[Reilly]

Weeeeeird.

don't bite my head off because i don't listen to 80s music

[Reilly]

Erics post was a bit dumb (Well, uninformed) but interpols PMS launch response shows off his dickheadedness in all its glory.

[tam_luvs_coldplay]

I didn't understand what u meant at first either, Interpool. Lets be nice. Other than that....I really liked the Cure...especially their older stuff. :)

[beckhamcrosses]

Hey does anyone have an audio rip of the Cure live in Orange from 86? or Glastonbury 86 - could you PM me??

[ClearAsCrystal]

http://www.krock.com/syracuse/upload/London/Cure.JPG

Yeah, I would have to say that mmmm maybe like, four years ago, I was introduced to this band and have like em ever since.

I would have to say that 'Boys Don't Cry" , 'Bloodflower' and 'Disintigration' are among my favorite albums, because they have some of my favorite songs on em... just everything bout The Cure is good stuff. Vocals: one of a kind. Robert Smith's voice is very versitile, what makes it so great is that it can go high and low and he makes those great sounds affects 'Friday I'm in Love' :nice:

no one does it betteR When it comes to 80's best

Please feel free to discuss favorite songs, albums, events...let me know your whys and hows ;)

[Anita_sp]

great band!!:)

[ClearAsCrystal]

no mark, i've already told you about it...

plus they don't sound goth (lyrics may be i haven't checked them yet), but the music is good. :) i like the intros.

see, you tend to judge just for the looks first. :\

Have you heard The Lovecats yet?

[ariadnasquire]

as i've said i just listened Wish album. :dozey:

i don't care of the singers looks Mark, you should have noticied that. ;)

anyways what's going on with you today, that you make a big deal of anything i write about today? :confused:

why to both questions?
and why do you come to post on any band / style thread that i bump just to critizise it or their listeners? :sick:

that's not a nice thing to do.

I'm not criticising The Cure. Some of their songs are pretty good!! Lullaby, for example.;)
They're definitely far better than "headbanging" music.:D

thanks tomorrow i'll check the album where Lullaby song is in.

and who decides what music is headbanging? :dozey:
have you listened any of those bands to critizise them or build a clear theory about it or what?
and i end it here, as i don't want to go off-topic.

[mc_squared]

thanks tomorrow i'll check the album where Lullaby song is in.



Good idea!:D

The spiderman comes........................ :rolleyes:

[bjaiken]

In my opinion, the Cure are one of the greatest bands of all-time. Wish is a really good album. High, From the Edge of the Deep Green Sea, Friday I'm in Love, A Letter to Elise, and (my personal favorite) To Wish Impossible Things. Check out Disintegration - it is their best album IMO.

As for people who insist on using labels, Goth is probably a fair label, but it is far too limiting. A song like "In Between Days" is a pure pop song, and the Cure have a number of them.

The Cure have a unique sound, and they cannot really be lumped in with other groups. Robert Smith is amazing in terms of his delivery and lyrics. I love the Cure.

I loved that one.
I've noticied that from the very begining of the album that i've checked.

So i guess that i've started with the right album, so which one you advice me to check next to get into their music more? :)

[bjaiken]

^ That's easy...."Disintegration."

[ariadnasquire]

Thanks, that one sounds good too :D

i liked "pictures of you", "lullaby", "prayers for rain".

i like their sound and their long intros. :)

[mc_squared]

modelling myself?
what do you mean?, Mark, i care for the music nothing else.

So you have no plans to dress up like Robert Smith??:rolleyes:

[bjaiken]

Thanks, that one sounds good too :D

i liked "pictures of you", "lullaby", "prayers for rain".

i like their sound and their long intros. :)

I like the long intros, too. Also, I really like "Disintegration" (the actual song) and "Plainsong". Plus, you get "Love Song" and "Fascination Street," which are both classics.

The Cure does some songs that I don't care for (but nothing on the album Disintegration). I am drawn to the dreamy, romantic, dark sound that they have. Songs like Pictures of You. I like (don't love) the new album, but listen to a song like "Underneath the Stars." That's the classic Cure sound, and I love it.

I also like the more pop oriented sound the Cure puts out. One of my favorite songs is "In Between Days," and I also love "Push" and "Friday, I'm in Love." They are very diverse, and that's why anyone who knows anything about the band knows that an overarching label such as Goth is not appropriate. It's only part of the picture.

yes i liked those ones too.

well it happen to all, bands i don't listen all the songs of some bands, (on the first listen sure i do, but later on i keep listening some of them only).
yes i've noticied it the dreamy romantic dark sound, pretty good that.

I'll check those ones you mention ;) (the whole albums where those are in)
and i agree totally about the goth thing, i guess people label them just for the singer's outfits and all, that's so poor thing to do :dozey:

thanks a lot :nice:
