Robert is one of the most attractive people I’ve ever seen. His mannerisms, humor, expressions, way of speech. He has a delicately sensual way about him, you can hear it in his music too. Total heart throb!

[@kawamaker4642]

Robert is naturally funny. This is one of things that makes him so charming.

[@kate9341]

His voice is so angelic, it’s beautiful

[@renatadelnero78]

I know.... I could fall asleep to it... ❣

[@atropa1393]

Yes I agree , i think his voice and he is beautiful. Ive been into Robert Smith ever since I was 8 years old...43 now. A very long time.

[@franciscofernandez5034]

So must be you Kate ❤( also a veteran fan )

[@Fascinatingstreet]

His hair, his soft voice, his charm, his style, he is just amazing 🖤🥀

[@dollywasher]

Hes very shy. He doesnt give eye contact well. Hes lovely.

[@mo_be223]

Robert face when she says "gloomy" 😂😂

[@TheDreamingJune]

Robert's voice is like ASMR. He's super adorable.

[@Ili_xx1933]

I searched this Robert Smith interview only for his calming voice. It really is like asmr😁

[@dathorndike4908]

His voice is like soft velvet

[@askingforthemoon]

Yeah! But he knows when to shout too. There's an old interview of him on a roundabount and he yells at a screaming kid. I bloody laughed throughout the video

[@Ili_xx1933]

@@askingforthemoon yeah, it was pretty funny :))

[@vicolandtributes8607]

He Is so adorable, like a shy puppie attitude...

[@idfkwgo]

Omg I love him so much🖤🖤🖤

[@cristymartinez801]

I know right. Such a beautiful person.

[@TM-lu1fu]

She’s a good interviewer!

[@vronkadls2187]

He mentions touring Texas and this was the first time I saw them and was blown away! This was there "Disintegration" tour. I was 15yrs. Thanks for taking me mom. Best band ever. ♥️🌞🙌

[@tdoesntmatter]

The Cure played Bronco Bowl in 1986. I saw the Cure in 1989 as well. Starplex. Brilliant. Perfect moment.

[@stevenmlopez]

The Prayer Tour. Not the Disintegration Tour.

[@sageleaves5447]

This is so sweet, I'm just getting into The Cure and I'm 14

[@calyx93]

Right with ya - saw them at Duke University, NC for the same tour. My dad drove me and four other friends - all bedecked in black, teased hair and makeup and, patiently waited for the whole show in the parking lot to drive us back to Winston-Salem. Thanks Dad, love you for doing that. 🖤

[@TheKristinmhollis]

His hair is it's own personality 🤣 I really want to touch it

[@missescookie]

Had this on VHS decades ago, but never saw this unedited version. Thank you for sharing! BTW I LOVE his voice. SWOOOOON :)

[@Katherinecampbell-yc3de]

Excellent interview. She asked some good questions. Good rapport too.

[@vincenzollamas]

this woman is one of THEE BEST rock music interviewers I have ever heard/seen, kudos!

[@tbwatch88]

SHE has asked here among the most trenchant questions. GREAT interview. and I know them all, you know. brilliant stuff.

[@TheFigurehead]

I'm sure I've read this interview but never seen/heard it. Good to have an interviewer challenging Robert, makes for a interesting conversation. Thanks for uploading.

[@affys7843]

Thank you for posting! I was always looking for an interview with him talking about morrisey 😆 I find Robert Smith so fascinating!! Really appreciate the upload 😊

[@renatadelnero78]

Why am I drooling?

[@madelinecochran6355]

I love his voice, it’s so relaxing

[@redrumbaroness]

video came up on my suggestion feed, ecstatic to say the least, then I clicked the "subcribe" button after looking at the plethora of "cure" content.

[@SuzzCC]

What a great interview, too bad the last part was only audio - thanks so much for posting! 4:56 enjoyed the comment about having a physical deformity “ I have a hump” and squirming in his chair and commenting “ it’s like being in a boat!”

[@thunder_heads]

That's a reference to young frankenstine

[@SuzzCC]

@@thunder_heads I love that Mel Brooks movie - too funny!!

[@i.t.1722]

oh my....never saw this. congrats and thank youuuu

[@jacumbia]

He is beautiful and the voice

[@Jennifercox]

I wish we could find the rest of the video interview. He’s so hilarious saying that they were hospitalized for a month and that someone peed in the water. What an adorable madman ❤

[@TheDeadMoonBeams]

Lawl! Love the comeback about Lydon "I think HE's whimpy English disco" 🙃 And follow up by describing Lydon and the likes with describing them spot on.

[@Falxifer95]

He was also right about Morrissey and 30 years later he's still right about both of them lmao

[@RayyanKesnan]

@@Falxifer95 Exactly. And he's more musical than both imo

[@eebbe3]

he is such a cutie patootie honestly i adore him

[@marblegirl1678]

Thank you for posting this interview. I've been looking for it for years. You are doing a wonderful job! :)

[@tdoesntmatter]

Have this on VHS Somewhere in the boxes. Love them still.

[@TCDB]

If you don't want to lose your VHS tapes, it is recommended to convert them to digital before they become unwatchable due to tape decay.

[@trey5667]

@@TCDB I have recorded some onto DVD but that was with an old converter. My old Cure stuff is somewhere! Funny that a lot of this stuff on youtube now I used to have to buy on bootleg vhs from indie record stores!

[@TCDB]

@@trey5667 Good for you! In my country I've never seen bootleg VHS tapes in any stores. Only records, CDs and audio tapes.

[@trey5667]

@@TCDB Well it is Illegal here in the U.S. to sell bootlegs, but it wasn't a top priority for the police and these shops were small independent stores. You would NEVER find a bootleg in a major chain music store! Where are you from TCDB? Would you believe that I spent $105 for a bootleg record just to hear Ariel?! Crazy but I was an obsessed teen Cure fan :)

[@TCDB]

​@@trey5667 Yeah, it was more hard and much more expensive to get these things in the pre-Internet days than today. I live in Hungary.

[@gabymessuti]

Thank you! Amazing

[@RayyanKesnan]

I love how Robert called out Morrissey early! He knew

[@donnaspears1970]

Thank you! Wonderful

[@chaoswitch1974]

Thank you so much for the timestamps. I wanted to go see some things he was talking about at times.

[@videosbymadmom]

Great interview!

[@NiKOliDANBURSKi]

Always articulate, always gentle in his speech. Long live Robert Smith 😌

[@martinroehl5345]

A good Interviewer

[@travis2333]

She was a good interviewer

[@dathorndike4908]

Great interview. The hostess actually knows what she is talking about and is asking intelligent questions.

[@Baneumann66]

Robert is Brilliant. I’m reading Lol’s book right now. So many great stories.

[@nsmith8921]

He’s such a little weirdo!! I love him 😍

[@Baneumann66]

Great questions!

[@rolandovivas8536]

Buenísimo genial muy copado, una masa. Gracias por compartir saludos desde argentina 🇦🇷 💙...

[@black_kitten27]

he was gorgeous!!

[@manonvernon8646]

Their early work was a little too new wave for my taste. But when Sports came out in '83, I think they really came into their own, commercially and artistically. The whole album has a clear, crisp sound, and a new sheen of consummate professionalism that really gives the songs a big boost. He's been compared to Elvis Costello, but I think Huey has a far more bitter, cynical sense of humor.

[@therealwilfreddierkes9980]

I thought you were talking about Huey Lewis! And you are. Ha!

[@DavidN-x6o]

Bands that write about all things good don't sell records. Brilliant songs by the CURE.

[@richardmullins1883]

I thought it was Barbara Walters for a second based on her voice because I was doing the dishes while listening. Good interview

[@TSeeker1]

I believe it's Barbara's clone... at least the same petri dish or test tube!🤔

[@МихайлоНіколів]

Robert Smith like Echo and the Bunnymen. I like Echo and the Bunnymen

[@09meangirl]

Robert is soooo correct about The Smiths mainly Morrissey being arrogant !!

[@nikolademitri731]

I love their albums, but in terms of Morrissey, of course he’s correct.

[@TheDreamingJune]

I'm a fan of The Smiths music but Morrissey is so insufferable and arrogant.

[@guillermovaccarezza7105]

Morrisey >> The professional intellectual haha he is not wrong!

[@marisaelenenadiejamusiccom3974]

Kooky 😍

[@pollymahone9392]

His voice is so hot ❤

[@Johnnybananass-_]

Robert was so right then about Morris and even more so now, Morrisy is an arse

[@christophergorman7480]

I’m just big boned I caught in between pizza

[@mo_be223]

He is orphan??!! Maybe I don't understand

[@affys7843]

He was just saying that he sometimes lies to journalists to keep things less boring so him saying he was an orphan was just a lie he was referring to 😊

[@mo_be223]

@@affys7843 thanks...for a moment I believed it, he said it quite convincingly even if in a low voice like when he is ashamed ... and the woman was so serious and sad! 😊

[@affys7843]

@@mo_be223 ha ha yes, he has that dead pan humour, doesn’t he? 🙊

[@joeperez3299]

They are just jealous because they can't write songs like you do and actually sing and you make it sound incredible and you have lots of good songs not just a one hit wonder. Theirs lots of bands that are out there and still haven't made one good song. They still suck.

[@black_kitten27]

wow, this woman is so creepy and all over him....

[@John_F898]

???

[@sarcasticallyrearranged]

I’m sick of seeing comments on interviews conducted by women and the claim that they’re being inappropriate!

[@bolegnese]

@@sarcasticallyrearranged she werent being that inappropriate but she was touching his hand she definitely fancied him

[@sarcasticallyrearranged]

@@bolegnese pay attention to the difference in the comments when it's a man interviewing and a woman. Supposedly every woman is flirting when it's just the usual body language.

[@Em-im1yz]

It be hard not to be interested in him

[@andrespereydaresearch]

Awesome, except Morrissey is god.

[@kaydgaming]

The feud continues to this MF day!!! Lmao

[@eracli0]

Ew no

[@Moonlight-mz7mu]

Morrissey is trash lmao only good thing is his music

[@StratsRUs]

Morrissey is dependent on The Smiths' music.Still. He trudges along.

[@Bozlee22]

Morrissey is great but he’s right. He’s a douche

[@calyx93]

Excellent interview - her knowledge, choice of topics and ease of conversation seemed to really put Robert in a more talkative and informative mode.

[@NiKOliDANBURSKi]

Always articulate, always gentle in his speech. Long live Robert Smith 😌
