The Cure - Grinding Halt

[@stijnhoolsteens3049]

always loved the speed from those early curesongs

[@bynk7510]

Hoi ja klopt heb precies het zelfde..

[@x.x.7646]

True true. The direct and simple approach of their first album is really stunning.

[@matisssmidss1979]

Its cause tbh their early stuff technically could be classified as punk

[@reisurenivka]

Matiss Smidss post punk

[@jibberism9910]

Definitely. Just the right amount of just about everything.

[@wackyraces121]

The guy with the toughest job on this song is the bass player. Wish they showed more of his speed bass.

[@michaelhawes6340]

An excellent demonstration of the punk influences in early Cure

[@GrizrazRex]

Not so tough with a pick. Fingerstyle would be another story, but that wouldn't be punk. The drummer actually has the toughest job, here. One can tell that the next song was A Forest. The bassist wasted no time in getting across the stage to the keyboard, and we hear the initial A and C before the clip ends.

[@micke_mango]

This was the time when synth bass lines made their entry, often unplayable for bass guitarists, actually already in 1977 with Moroder. Bass guitarists needed to step up their game, like this! (Or play more melodic base hooks, on top of the rhythmic synth bass, like Peter Hook in New Order)

[@DaveAnchovies]

pick or no pick, thats serious bass playing...an Object has impossible bass playing, i know, my old band attempted a cover. You cant get that sound without a pick...

[@soutram12345]

One of the best bass players of this time. Like Hook or Burnel... maybe better than both of them.

[@cliveedwards2958]

Saw the cure in 1978 and they just stunned the audience..all the punk bands of the time were windmilling around the stage..the cure just stood stock still with a sweeping single light behind them and were electric..crowd went wild..great days..great band..particularly remember 10.15 Saturday night..wow!!!

[@giacomo8756]

Che vuoi dire..... chi può capire cosa furono all'epoca.... forse neanche io... e comunque everything is coming...... no time....

[@diegobanjocontrabajo]

Simon run at the end and started to play a forest in the keyboard! youtube is the most amazing thing ever created.

[@ms-iz9ye]

Bloc Party's first album sounds a lot like the cures first album. This version of grinding halt is amazing and fast.

[@coldbrrains]

I always thought Kele sounded a lot like Robert Smith in general

[@johnmarasigan5238]

This song was my introduction to the Cure, it still is after all these years my favorite Cure song.

[@shakedydogshake]

Simon walks over and starts up A Forest.....THIS WAS THE ULTIMATE CURE!!! Simon, Rob and Lol - FOREVER!

[@gustavobro2484]

Saw the cure at Macquarie University Sydney Australia 1980. Absolutely went off. Soooooo good!!!!!!!!!! And now I’m 62 and still love the cure ☮️❤️🙂

[@fivemagics18]

I’m 16 and I love the cure

[@homeemail7021]

Saw them someplace near Liverpool St Sydney about that time. Can’t remember the name of the venue.

[@richardxs]

BEST VERSION of Grinding Halt

[@vincenzollamas]

great performance, Lol's killing it, Simon is as usual back then making Michael's great bass lines even cooler and better

[@bravorogerbravo]

So so good back then. So much energy. Lol puts his heart and soul into it.

[@tonyrosales915]

Love the speed of this version of grinding halt....long live The Cure....

[@wolverine7998]

by far the best "grinding halt" video on you tube.

[@KAZ132]

Amazing Song.. Amazing Performance.. My favourite band ever 🧡🌻🎶

[@jovieadawag2777]

My fav " cure song "' during my college days. in the mid 80s..

[@iWalkYouJock]

my dad showed me this song i love the bass its somewhat challenging but extremely fun and really catchy i love it

[@pjbogart]

I know that videos of live performances tend to focus on the singer, but in this case they didn't spend nearly enough time showing us the bass player as he was performing. He had the toughest job, give him some props by showing him shred.

[@mumbles215]

Boards are the toughest job. But the bass was sublime. (9 years later) lol

[@shankmarketing2100]

The song of 2020.

[@ButterflyRoseX]

One of my favourite Cure songs, *thanks* ! :)

[@taylortimeless]

So surfy. Love it!! 😍

[@Mstar82]

I NEED those bass TABS, the bassline sounds so great! Great song!

[@marshallkohlhaas80]

sound it out brother

[@natethebluesman]

@@marshallkohlhaas80 I think he has by now

[@marshallkohlhaas80]

@@natethebluesman o i c what your saying hahaha

[@NostalgiaforInfinity]

Imagine asking for tabs for bass. Just learn from ear ffs. How can you play an instrument and still not figure out the notes by ear?

[@Mstar82]

@@NostalgiaforInfinity yeah i figured it out shortly afterwards which was 12 years ago I even forgot about this comment

[@Tsamados]

This song is basically the anthem to 2020 and Covid.

[@cesarlengua6090]

Este es el the cure....puro talento el que escuche cuando era un niño yeahhh

[@macjunkee]

Evidently an early performance. Great song; Robert Smith is practically unrecognizable.

[@lwplwp]

He was a fairly handsome guy..👦

[@maladjusted97]

clear to see this song influenced The Drums' song "Let's go surfing" ...

[@clvrswine]

I guess, if you make a dumb stretch.

[@clairelenoir]

no people - oh my god, what a dream! ThanX4Sh

[@danielbarrios5730]

+clairelenoir I know right!@ no people.............. i had to move to the country because the city was getting way too crowded and out of control..

[@smarieintn5955]

My baby Robert has always given his all! We love you so much. I hope / think you know that.

[@pollypickpocket213]

Little Cure babies ❤

[@clvrswine]

Shut up.

[@livimarina1907]

Amazing live performance!

[@resofactor]

This trio-era was TIGHT AF

[@CarlosRamirezTX]

My fave Cure song!!!

[@rolandovivas8536]

Q bueno poder ver eso loco !. Genial buenísimo muchas gracias hermano. The cure y nada más...

[@67Alberto]

The Cure siempre. 5*. Gracias por compartir el video. Saludos

[@standgema]

masterpiece !!!

[@1968jimjim]

So good!

[@tyronerodgers]

Great drumming from Lol. Not technically amazing but solid as. Overlooked. He was crucial to the early sound.

[@dagmerrie]

That bass sound ❤

[@carolinazetav]

such a fucking great band and I love this song.

[@luanaocana4017]

X los años 87 88 mas o menos escuche esre tema con titulo de paradero pulverizado...un temazo

[@stellasilverbat]

The beginning sort of sounds like Secrets, which would sound interesting if Robert proceeded to play Grinding Halt in that mournful, slow paced, Seventeen Seconds era style. It's easy to tell now that they were already heading in that direction even at this early of a point in the band's existence. Seventeen Seconds is my favorite record of theirs.

[@larrywerdeniuk6748]

yep, secrets top ten cure song for sure.

[@goomba1979]

The Cure are the best UK band ever...fact

[@theteddybeer]

awesome!! thanks for sharing!

[@darkrebel09]

A GEM! Thanks for posted =)

[@ivanhmagana4586]

Is Simon Gallup performing bass line ?

[@winston2899]

Yes :) What a feeling!

[@dirkwearsws]

simon is such a bad ass

[@adilsoncosta3616]

Eu vim por causa do vídeo do João Gord, Clemente e Jão no Super Plá!

I LOVE young Robert so much

[@dEFT07Itd]

[@DavidPasajero]

[@duvan-solis]

This song is actually reminiscent to the future songs. "Like the vibe is joyful and simple"

[@KahTomazzoS.E.P]

I lobe the cure now but these early day’s were just amazing

[@bassnicola]

@Mstar82 Next month I'll upload my videos with all the bass lines from the "Three Imaginary Boys" album

[@XxmychemicalsnorlaxX]

Yep, that's Simon.
