The Cure's Robert Smith offers blunt response to overzealous TV host
Рет қаралды 3,024,900
5 жыл бұрынEnglish rock band The Cure have been inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame but that news has been overshadowed by an interview on the red carpet.
Subscribe to Guardian News on KZfaq ► bit.ly/guardianwiressub
Lead singer Robert Smith's blunt response to a very excitable American interviewer has been viewed over eight million times. It becomes glaringly apparent that the band was a lot less enthusiastic about their induction into the rock hall of fame than their interviewer Carrie Keagan.

Personally, this didn't even sound insulting. He was more insulting himself, is how I heard it. The British can be so self-deprecating (plus he has mental health problems) so it sounds like he was just putting himself down for not being as excited. But yeah, he was surely poking at her a little.

I think she was not overzealous, but rather just excited to meet a cool guy like Robert. I also feel that Robert was not being rude but was just being himself. What happened here is that two different personalities met with each other and simply bounced off of each other like opposing magnets. We don't need to take his or her side. There are no sides to take.

I saw them in concert a couple of years ago, and though I fantasized about meeting them and getting an autograph, I knew it wasn't going to happen. After their final number, Robert said, "You've been very sweet," and poof, they were gone. C'est la vie.

Siouxsie was clearly an influence on Robert when he was their guitarist for a time.

I haven’t done it yet’. Classic British understatement , and it shut her up instantly .
