Agreed! It was so good that I wish there was a studio version of it. Deftones have quite the great collection of cover songs that are just amazing. Even songs that I didn’t really care for the original. The Deftones managed to not only give this cover an added “darker” texture to an already beautifully dark song but did so while using their distorted guitars to make it heavier without making it sound silly or forced. In my opinion, it is an example of a “perfect” cover in where the original song is portrayed respectfully and the band covering them was able to put their accent into it as well, without taking any of the magic that made the original so amazing.
The Cure is unquestionably the top 10 essential rock band ever. Robert Smith is amazing but it's a total honor to have Chino sing your songs. Top 5 best singers ever. 🤣
Todos queriendo imitar a the cure pero llego blink 182 y fue brutal su mirada de Robert lo dijo todo esa noche blink se ganó la admiracion y respetó hacia ellos iba a la secundaria cuando vi este video
The AFI cover is one of my favorites but they couldn't have picked a better song for Deftones to cover. They absolutely captured the atmosphere of that song and nailed it.
Che spettacolo! L'epoca in cui Mtv faceva questi programmi fantastici! Non dimentico la sera in cui su Mtv fecero la pubblicità del programma che avrebbero fatto qualche sera dopo, "A Night With... The Cure", e nel sottofondo c'erano le canzoni di Lullaby e Close to Me. Erano le uniche canzoni che conoscevo della band e non sapevo nemmeno di chi fossero, ma sapevo che mi piacevano tantissimo e così mi segnai la data all'età di 22 anni, per seguire quel programma. Da lì si aprì un nuovo mondo per me, e quando fu il mio compleanno, chiesi a mio fratello di regalarmi un Greatist Hits dei Cure. Quando ricevetti quel greatest Hits, al suo interno trovai un cartoncino con le copertine di tutti i loro album sino a Bloodflowers. Beh, quello con la copertina di Disintegration era quello che mi ispirava di più, perché si vedeva il volto di Robert. Dopo aver ascoltato uno dei più bei album mai sentiti in vita mia, divennero i miei amori assoluti, e comprai piano piano ogni album raffigurato in quel cartoncino, bootleg compresi e rarità varie, per la gioia del negoziante di dischi che ormai era diventato amico. Da allora, i Cure fanno quotidianamente parte della mia vita, i numeri uno per sempre. Grazie per aver postato questa puntata fantastica di Mtv Icon tra l'altro con sottotitoli in italiano, e per avermi fatto rivangare quei periodi in cui conobbi questa band a dir poco unica!
37:55 FUN FACT: The Cure did write and perform the intro of the Kids show "The Dragon Hunters" and "Taking Off" is the "The Cure" Version of that Intro 😄
Interesting choice of bands. Deftones definitely saved the night with their version of "If only tonight we could sleep". It was the oe song of he evening that had such depth and emotion in it.
It’s funny you mentioned Manson, because usually I’m fine with him. He puts on……err USED TO put on a great live performance for his first 4 albums (then completely lost control of his drug use, lost his voice and live shows became cringe). But he really irked me as the presenter. Very campy & trying way too hard to be…. Idk what he’s trying to be but it was painful to watch. It’s upsetting that this show wasn’t better because there are so many bands that could have done Justice to the Cure’s music. I mean just off the top of my head: Peter Murphy and/or Bauhaus, Peter Hook, New Order, Trent Reznor, Tori Amos, Placebo, Dresden Dolls, PJ Harvey, James Addiction, Exho and the Bunnymen, David Bowie, etc. I get what MTV did though. First I get that they wanted bands from today that were inspired by the Cure, but as per usual MTV chose commercialism over quality and found bands that were inspired by the Cure yes, BUT were for the most part chosen for either the record labels pushing for a bands exposure and also bands that were popular to a younger crowd, that let’s be honest…. Don’t really know who the Cure were. They chose the wrong target audience as the majority of people who watched this were either the old skool older people and a small group of new generation fans. This could have been so much better. Though I’ll also giver credit to AFI, as they did a good version and did them justice.
Kinda weird, watching The Cure watch other people perform their songs.... Having said that - I liked the AFI version of Just like Heaven. Robert Smith has such a way of working the crowd that is very unique.
Blown away by AFIs cvr of Just like Heaven. Singer's persona reminds me of Pete Steele (Carnivore) and Baron Misuraca/ old bass player fm (Sheer Terror).
Deftones were the only meaningful cover. They captured the feel, they made something with the song. They added something to it but kept it respectful. You could feel the vibe in the crowd was so different. Not overly freaky. Just feeling it suspended in melancholy. Like closing your eyes and floating.
nah pretty sure he praised the performance-- I think I read in an interview that he appreciated how they reinvented the song in their style instead of doing a copycat type of performance.
Defines is the only decent cover. This was painful to watch. Marilyn is incredibly flamboyant and garish making it more about him while it’s intended to be a tribute. This over emphasis on gloom and darkness is such a lazy surface take. The Cure write about emotions and experiences we all go through. This focus on pain and sadness doom and gloom is a disservice to the band. We all go through these very human emotions, I guess when someone has the guts to write about and perform it it stands out. The production feels like it was done by a placebo group of ADHD patients. It’s a shame their musicianship the arrangements production and composition of the Cure’s sound and their albums is barely mentioned.
Now they’re actually going to perform themselves about time lol I don’t mind Robert smith’s voice actually that’s because I heard him sing with blink-182 so
Marilyn just had to make it all about himself and his stupid antics and Blink 182? Cmon man! and I bet the band was soooo creeped out when MM did that crawling obsession skit bs.. way to mess up a great chance to actually respect the band 🤮 MTV should have been cancelled after the 80s anyhow
My god, the Deftones MURDERED that song! That was the best cover of the night for sure. Robert looked so happy :D
Agreed! It was so good that I wish there was a studio version of it. Deftones have quite the great collection of cover songs that are just amazing. Even songs that I didn’t really care for the original.

@@thespyinthecab7538they have the cover up on streaming, although I’m not sure if it’s the same recording or a studio one
Hearing Chester speak about the Cure hits different. Miss him 💔
The Cure is unquestionably the top 10 essential rock band ever. Robert Smith is amazing but it's a total honor to have Chino sing your songs. Top 5 best singers ever. 🤣
The Deftones gave me chills. One love for Chi Cheng ❤️
Okay, wait. Manson, Chester, AFI, Deftones and (of course) The Cure all in one video...am I in heaven?
Yes you are!!
It's Just Like Heaven yes
Exactly 💯
I could add Tool...
No you are just stupid
MTV will never be like this ever again
no way in heaven
I like how Robert Smith said Cure fans are passionate, I agree, deep words mean something ,a connection
Todos queriendo imitar a the cure pero llego blink 182 y fue brutal su mirada de Robert lo dijo todo esa noche blink se ganó la admiracion y respetó hacia ellos iba a la secundaria cuando vi este video

OMG!
I kind of never liked AFI, but their version of Just like Heaven is like HEAVEN
They totally nailed it
Me too!!!
That deftones tho😭😭❤️🔥
For real. They murdered that shit.
@@jrmeceleb no doubt🖤🖤🖤deftones has a compilation album of covers they’ve done!!! The one they did here is on there w a bunch of other bangers lol 👻
Placebo, Darren Hayes, John Frusciante, Brandon Flowers… so many greats love The Cure because they are unique, talented and amazing!
That blink cover tho!! Need a studio recording of that :’)
ya but Tom played like shit at first lol. Classic Tom
Deftones cover is so cool ♥ i love it
I have watched the AFI cover of JLH and it's got to be one of the best covers of all time.
Nothing like Robert's voice

The Blink-182 version is perfect to my taste, I love that song
At first I thought bad song choice for that band but then by the end I was blown away. Mad respect for blink 182
Great program. Thank you for posting. It's priceless to see Ro ert's face while being impersonated
Grazie per i tuoi video!! Manson unico anche come presentatore
Marilyn Manson and Robert Smith two of my favourite goth musicians of all time.
37:55 FUN FACT: The Cure did write and perform the intro of the Kids show "The Dragon Hunters" and "Taking Off" is the "The Cure" Version of that Intro 😄
AFI SMOKED this event…..that cover was unreal
U can tell RS and The Cure were very pleased w/their cover.
RIP Chi Cheng
deftones performance is fucking chilling
The cure will always be my number 1 favorite band, come back to me in 10 years and ill say the exact same thing
wow THANK you for posting this. I love The Cure
AFI 😮 amazing
Interesting choice of bands. Deftones definitely saved the night with their version of "If only tonight we could sleep". It was the oe song of he evening that had such depth and emotion in it.
Agreed
Didn't like blinks much
And I can't stomach Marilyn

Esto lo vi por tv en directo...19 años atrás! Estoy viejo...jajaja
Yo también
Seeing Manson and Robert being friends warms my heart.
I read this whole thing as Manson doing the job he was paid for and Smith being embarrassed but hey, who knows
Manson huge influence
All I saw was Manson being an enormous douche. What a pretentious wanker. Couldn't be more different to Robert.
@@oliviernaud7529 Wait... what?
@@oliviernaud7529 same. I wasnt a fan of Manson being the host. But have been a cure fan since 3 Imaginary Boys.
I know Robert hates pomp and circumstance. But I know this makes him so proud too.
AFI doing Just like Heaven was amazing, but their cover of The Hanging Gardens off of the A Fire Inside EP is insanely good
Nessuno come Robert....❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
Robert Smith has that “why are we here?” look
Legendary mtv episode, wow
Kinda weird, watching The Cure watch other people perform their songs.... Having said that - I liked the AFI version of Just like Heaven. Robert Smith has such a way of working the crowd that is very unique.
Thank you!
Blown away by AFIs cvr of Just like Heaven. Singer's persona reminds me of Pete Steele (Carnivore) and Baron Misuraca/ old bass player fm (Sheer Terror).
AFI, Just Like Heaven 🤯🤯🤯🤯
Mi parte favorita la cara de Robert 24:21
this is awesome i love the cure 🦆
the cure is the best band 🦔
Not a bad cover the deaf tones did there their instrumental impressed me
shouldve put a jumpscare warning everytime manson was onscreen
Who's here is 2023
Блин,как же круто выступили дефтоунс ,Господи. Как будто какой - то суд произошёл, и Понтий Пилат внёс свой приговор.
Omg! Manson and Smith in the same video! I’m not sure what to do with myself
Wow deftones
AFi. Unfucking believable. Robert Smith was so impressed.
I can only imagine how uncomfortable this big production made Robert and the lads...
Спасибо за ваш комментарий!🙂❤
The cure is amazing Robert Smith Is may chilling Angel Love you cure Asta mi finallllllll
0:49-1:09 The Lovecats, A Forest, Wrong Number, ???, The Caterpillar, ???
AFI, hands down!
I only replay came for blink-182’s cover of letter to Elise lol 😂 love how Marilyn Manson introduced them and Robert smith’s reaction is brilliant
This ones for you #heff #beme
34:50 how did he do that?!?!?
im screaaaming lmao
The should have let interpol cover boys don’t cry
Does anybody know whats the name of the song?? 0:50
Sadly no
robb garcia is the best drummer in metallica
Blink e deftones i migliori
I think Johnathon Davis from Korn would have been a better host.
Ohhh LOSTPROPHETS in this video
Wasn't into them. I was a metal head but I liked there look . It reminded me of Rocky Horror
Grande classe, donne envie de jouer et faire un cover. Suis bassiste, si ça vous tente, je fonce
Un bassiste c'est pas le nom qu'on donne à un type qui traine avec des musiciens ? xD ;P
@@GuiR3X un mec qui passe par là et qui joue avec un étendage à la ceinture 🤣🤣
😎👍💕🎼
Robert smith states the obvious all musicians are inspired by each other so does copyright really exist unless you steal their music
Was Manson drunk? He sure seemed like it. He'd have been a decent host if he'd have laid off the sauce.
Marilyn Manson makes a great host
Deftones were the only meaningful cover. They captured the feel, they made something with the song. They added something to it but kept it respectful. You could feel the vibe in the crowd was so different. Not overly freaky. Just feeling it suspended in melancholy. Like closing your eyes and floating.
Loved AFI
I thought blink 182 were awesome
where is dinosaur jr.
O cover de "Boys dont cry" foi decepcionante
28:05 DEFTONESSSS
trying so hard to flip off marilyn, but not any of the members is the quickest muscle movement I've ever done
is marilyn ok cus what
Thumbnail would make a great publicity pic for a Satanic Horror movie 😂
Robert Smith dying inside when blink covered his song was a memorable moment. Robert was fucking stunned by AFi, wow. you could see that reaction.
Then why he smiled?
nah pretty sure he praised the performance-- I think I read in an interview that he appreciated how they reinvented the song in their style instead of doing a copycat type of performance.
I saw the Metallica MTV icons in 2003 now I felt like watching this
Really glad you stopped commenting
Hollywood are u listening? Get Robert Pattinson to play Robert and get on it!
Lol Who's Robb Garcia of Metallica?
We all know that Robert was seriously contemplating suicide from this garbage until Deftones arrived and finally gave a true tribute to The Cure.
Oh shut the fuck up. AFI's cover was great as was Blink's
I thought AFI did amazing and judging from Robert's expression he did also. The other bands were absolute trash covers tho.
Blinks was the best, all the other sucked
Defines is the only decent cover. This was painful to watch. Marilyn is incredibly flamboyant and garish making it more about him while it’s intended to be a tribute. This over emphasis on gloom and darkness is such a lazy surface take. The Cure write about emotions and experiences we all go through.

pixies and the cure are over the top, special thanks to Violent Femmes, Bauhaus, Eccos & the.. , Stone Roses..
Holy shit
where the F*ck has the time gone?
Now they’re actually going to perform themselves about time lol I don’t mind Robert smith’s voice actually that’s because I heard him sing with blink-182 so
这评论区什么情况😂
Robert smith didn’t look 45 in 2004 that makes him 63 this year lol 😂
Yes 😿
.
Considering I don’t really like the cure much boys don’t cry is a good song shame this cover isn’t the greatest but it isn’t awful either
DEFTONES ! ! ! !
Not Lostprophets in this 👎🏾
Manson ruined this being a shitty cringe host
Murdered covers except perhaps deftones
Nah deftones was trash
@@cochayuyo1084No Deftones did great and they made it darker
I Love Roberts face when Blink 182 is playing -
He’s like - Nope 👎😒
Idk, this is right after he featured on their song "All of This"
Come mai hanno partecipato a questa pagliacciata?
Marilyn just had to make it all about himself and his stupid antics and Blink 182? Cmon man! and I bet the band was soooo creeped out when MM did that crawling obsession skit bs.. way to mess up a great chance to actually respect the band 🤮 MTV should have been cancelled after the 80s anyhow
5:50 🤮
Fuck
I didn’t enjoy the AFI performance
Did you like your own comment?
@@jpablocr8 no I don’t think so
@@saffronthurkettle6795 right
Imaginw not liking everything and having to say it out loud.
It was boring. Not bad just nothing really added. To close to the original for me
