Deftones - If Only Tonight We Could Sleep

[@busaj]

I don't often say this in music, but in my opinion, this cover is better than the original. Amazing stuff here. They seemed to add just enough in the right areas to truly bring out the eery nature of this song. Extra heavy bass, a little more distortion, and you have perfection. I can't stop listening to this. I won't even start on Chino's voice.

[@bravnat]

without a doubt my favourite cover by Deftones, they simply never disappoint, also gotta love The Cure ^^

[@malibumut]

I keep going back to this,, it is so full on addictive, far out, it's just the best cover Ever...!!

[@ElCoyotyto]

one of the best covers I've ever heard. it's tottaly a deftones song

[@atomicinjun]

That's just an awesome cover. I've never been a fan of the Deftones but this could change all that. The attention to detail is what kills me.

[@PKP405]

For those of you who kept saying that smith wasn't impressed with any of the covers, look closely at 2:18 and he is definitely grinning from ear to ear! Excellent cover by an extraordinarily talented group of musicians!

[@nirosive]

All of the guys in The Cure had smiles on their faces when the Deftones played that night. That says a lot! Respect well-deserved. :)

[@magneteye]

The best Cure cover that night... amazing!

[@jenibearlb]

beautiful!!! sends chills through my body...

[@estrallaeyes]

i ABSOLUTELY LOVE THE CURE AND DEFTONES...EXCELLENT COVER..COMMING FROM A HUGE CURE FAN~!!!!

[@cjswag]

I've been a Cure fan for over 25 years now. Some covers of their music are good, some suck. This one is GREAT. I had never listened to the Deftones before this, but will check out their other stuff based on this cover. It was cool to see Roger O'Donnell getting into this song (he is the Cure member in the audience they keep flashing back to).

[@Emanny237]

What an excelent rendition to the cure. The Deftones kick so much ass!!

[@m01up]

Huge fan of The Cure here. This rocks! So dark, so moody... Perfect!

[@atomicinjun]

That's just an awesome cover. I've never been a fan of the Deftones but this could change all that. The attention to detail is what kills me. My favorite part 3:54.

[@malibumut]

71 Days and counting, and I will see you live, YES, please play this, it will be fully appreciated.. xxoo ;-)

[@malibumut]

Wish you had of played this at the BDO, you fully went off though, & it was so bloody HOT, am stoked to have seen you live at last! Thankyou.. xo :-)

[@ShiningSun2K]

Thank you for posting this!

[@rtek777]

Modern day Zeppelin. No one can touch the Deftones. They kickass and take names on everything they do.

[@deftonesfan192]

Great cover, great camera angles, great vid...

[@urljaks]

A show hosted by Marylin Manson, where Deftones play a Cure cover- coolest event ever.

[@joskeeeee]

when chino started singing I just couldn't believe how perfect his voice suits robert's

[@magneteye]

You can see it in their eyes and smiles... Deftones fucking killed it!

[@lcvd1]

That's the power of The Cure influence, great job Deftones!

[@Arthounot]

@LandOfMutants The best cover i saw that evening, take care...

[@kaylerpp]

wow...this is actually reallyyy...good. The voicals are great, almost Robert Smith worthy :)

[@curefm2]

this is the best version,,,

[@rgsfcp21]

this takes me to another dimension

[@amosthree]

I thought this would fail miserably! It was great.

[@chargermaniac]

Given how unique Robert Smith's voice is for the most part it makes covering Cure songs pretty hard. Chino's probably the only singer who can do this tune properly and sincerely.

[@monsterhockey7]

This is probably how the Cure intended it to sound, Deftones funking rock.

[@MJKsFan]

Flawless

[@ChubbiBun]

deftones+if only tonight=musical nirvana

[@bebu19777]

How sick do you have to be to click dislike??? LOVE IT!!!!!!

[@curefm2]

this the best the cure cover

[@arrianne311]

@StraightRazor99 I know, haha. I'm not sure if this is the same show, Robert looks different, but it made me think of the cover of Just Like Heaven AFI did, and the look on Robert's face during that was not a happy one. Was that a run-on sentence?

[@malibumut]

Please, can you play this song at the Sydney BDO,, thank you. I'll be there, melting...

[@sixandten]

love love love

[@Aquileskaz]

Yeah awosome Performance...

[@Giurigi123]

Better than the original

[@twochordcool]

@simionTheOne Elbow are a lot different than the Cure, but they ARE great and they are still together. But the Cure blew me away for many many years and nothing makes me feel as excited about a band now as they did then.

[@Jekyll_Island_Creatures]

@atomicinjun That's like saying you're not a fan of breathing in my book.

[@grousemaster]

@PKP405 Robert Smith at 3:55 - he didn't look all that impressed there or at the end but who's surprised about that.....

[@murrals]

@LandOfMutants This was their second take. The first try didn't go so well. Just a little info for all.

[@jamieslaght]

Deep love.

[@malnurishedmacupial]

your right you know it sounds a bit like it

[@krut917]

the keyboards remind me of being in the water temple on Ocarina of Time

[@mychemicalrahman]

@beforethree u forgot duran duran, brody. lol

[@ChrisGoesChaos]

@krut917 yeah! another Zelda gamer :D

[@bigmike690069]

IF ONLY TONIGHT CHI WOULD WAKE FROM HIS SLEEP :(

[@hedlik]

@beforethree WHATT??

[@frankiensandra]

I first heard this song on the b sides and rarities cd and loved it, I dont know how but I heard from somewhere that that song was performed infront of the cure, and that it was theyre song. now that I'm youtubing and seeing all the coparisons between who does it better I have to comment. Robert smiths vocals does nothing for this song, and as far as I'm concerned this shit now belongs to the DEFTONES. I'm only being honest.

[@jaymz81]

chino can do anything!!! skynard, smith, SADE'

[@twochordcool]

@pricha24 The Deftones don't have ONE ORIGINAL SONG that is NEARLY as good as this.

[@z0z0bra]

SKILLZ

[@lloydvallentine2]

@krut9 man you're right!!!

[@vondutch413]

@twochordcool basically everything they've ever put on a record is better than what you think is "good" you fail at life. good day sir.

[@brandito1527]

Wow has any1 ever seen the video to rocket skates off their new album diamond eyes? Chino is getting skinny once again =)

[@sgipple]

@krut917 it totally does!

[@twochordcool]

@Watermellin That's idiotic - it's harder - but not better.

[@Ajaw8]

now that i know its mm i change my thoughts,but i guess i shouldnt:p

[@chrislemmi]

is ma richtig geil

[@Lashley1984]

i fucking love this song, but the cures version is the best

[@bienvida]

Where is this? Award show?

[@brandito1527]

Meh, sometimes second takes are the best ^^. Skindred used a second take for their music video for rat race and thats a good song. You know what they say....If at first you dont succeed try, & try again

[@somberrose85]

i can't sleep :/

[@Arthounot]

@opiet510 Well, it's how it'd meant to be, look at the Cure guys...... They want this.... :)

[@tonyAJ420]

@twochordcool You obviously don't listen to the Deftones.

[@magneteye]

don't forget Duran Duran!

[@ravenslove21]

I thought the original was from the Cure?

[@jmtd_dot_net]

shame about the quality. There are higher quality versions of this clip floating around.

[@seaptown]

i love he original but for me this version trumps it. only two songs really beat their originals. this and no quarter by tool.

[@IcarianX]

@krut917 me too!

[@CreativeAngel100]

i just came

[@1puchu]

:D LOL

[@ChubbiBun]

5 people pressed the wrong like button :D

[@dmelle09]

@krut917 hahahaha your right

[@piggybank16]

why does everybody in the crowd look like gothic vampires??

[@BrandonDeft]

@jaymz81 Weezer

[@arrianne311]

@bigmike690069 Haha, the only hot goth chick at 2:04 I see is Abe. ;) Na, she's at 2:07.

[@brandito1527]

lol is that marilyn manson? wtf

[@lokithor83]

would you expect any less from Marilyn Manson?

[@hellyfornication]

nice try, but i prefer the original by the cure. on-one beats the voice of robert smith, but not a bad cover though.

[@pricha24]

...NOT the stones, NOT zepplin, NOT Sabbath, I'd like to see RS cover "fist" or "dai the flu" or "boys republic" or "change" or "xerces" and do HALF the quality performance that Deftones did on this song. in closing, RS is a hack and the Cure should be priveleged that a group as amazing as Deftones would cover their overrated music.
