One of the darkest songs by The Cure imaginable and the Deftones CRUSHED it. While other bands played their greatest hits, the Tones brought something real.
He was my favorite bassist ever. So much energy was given from that man. If you want his legacy to live on, go donate to the charity in his name, Buckle Up For Chi. It's so important to wear a seatbelt EVERY TIME you're in a car. Maybe we'd still have Chi if he wore his seat belt when he had his accident. It breaks my heart that something so simple could have saved us from the tragedy of the coma and death.
Wow FUCK my whole life I have loved the cure and now I really love Deftones and when he came in on the lyrics I got the biggest chill of my entire life. Downright spiritual .
So fucking heavy... it’s hard to find covers that are even close to as good as the original but Deftones murdered it and the brought this song back to life just to kill it again. Haha so so so good. Love Roberts face while listening too.
hes a beast live!! ive seen the live version of my own summer/drive when he stands with the audience drunk and or high going nuts singing the entire my own summer 100times. massive crowd!! one helluva party :D
Seen them numerous times. My favorite was Knotfest 2012 (Caddot, WI). Thunder storm rolled in mid set. When they played Bloody Cape, there was the most radical lighting over us when he was screaming "God Help Me!" He was the perfect balance of drunk/high and ill never forget that day.
If only tonight we could sleep In a bed made of flowers If only tonight we could fall In a deathless spell If only tonight we could slide Into deep black water And breathe And breathe... Then an angel would come With burning eyes like stars And bury us deep In his velvet arms And the rain would cry As our faces slipped away And the rain would cry Don't let it end...
I was lucky to have seen this live. Got to be a seat sitter behind The Cure when Deftones played. Was the best cover by far that night. Still sounds awesome. Good times. Thanks Muki! ❤️
That's awesome! Had to be a really cool experience. I was lucky enough to see them perform this cover a few times during their 2006/07 tour runs Also a Sade cover lol. They are awesome and Ohms is some of their best stuff.
Yeah it was definitely the best cover. I adore "a letter to Elise" and while i can appreciate the fact that other artists loved it enough to cover it, i was not impressed with the blink 182 cover simply because I'm not a blink 182 fan. Except the song "i miss you". Love that song and love the system of a down cover of "dammit".
Being you posted this 2yrs ago you've probably already found it. But they have a record of covers called "B sides" thst has em doing 'no ordinary love" by Sade & Duran Durans 'the chauffeur' & few others. They have a way with covers for sure!!!
for me this is the best one as well, and I'm a huge music fan and expect good cover to be different in structure than the original. I also love Deftones version of ''to have and to hold.
One of the best EVER. Right up there with tool's cover of no quarter. Oh and the deftones rocked a cover of sade's no ordinary love, what a random choice!
When Chino started singing I was awestruck. I could NOT believe his vocals being PERFECTLY capable of impersonating Robert Smith. Wow!! I'm a MASSIVE Deftones AND The Cure fan and I did not expect this. Even Robert Smith was smiling at how iincredible this cover was.
They killed it! It's heavy and deep and Chino's voice is wonderful. It sounds pretty much like Robert's sometimes, but it still has that slightly twisted Deftones undertone... And the drumming is quite tight, of course, I expected nothing less. I love it, it's one of the best covers I've ever heard!
Damn straight. And they put that spin on it yet you could still feel the honor for Robert in there. I love when a band owns a cover like this. I am die hard cure gal since the 80s and they are still a daily for me. Wish gets plenty of use even 20 years after it captured my heart.💟 my love affair with the cure conutines on!!😉😉😉😉💟💟💟
*+ Dark Jedi:* I know that writing these comments is part of your psychotherapy, and I hope that talking about blood and anuses can help you, but I think you should restart with the medicines :)
This is so good that I have come to the conclusion that it's rude Lol. They made the song even better than The Cure, how was that even possible? I can't top this version and Im obsessed. ROCK Genre at its PRIME!
I don't know what sorcery this is but I think I found a cover that is better than perfection if thats even possible. Well done Deftones you achieved beyond perfection :)
Wow! I think I even prefer the Deftones version to most Cure live versions of this awesome song - and I'm a HUGE Cure fan who isn't mad about the Deftones!
Wayne Twine what is this whole cure vs deftones thing? I remember when I first saw it the Deftones message board (long time ago) said the cure didn't look happy with the cover.
I swear every time chino sings I have little mini psychedelic trip... his voice paired with such visual lyrics that dont mean shit just create ideas in your head. It almost makes me cry how artistic this band is, and the cure too haha.
Have you listened to their cover of no ordinary love? My friend described it to me as "it's like having sex with a ghost". Lol. Either way, it's really good.
This song never ceases to amaze me. The band does this song so good and Chino hits roberts smiths voice like fucking perfect. Amazing. Deftones are the kings of cover songs. Period. End of story.
I'm generally not a fan of covers for one major reason: Bands covering songs try to play the song like the original band does, and it never quite hits the mark. Deftones took the essence of the song and play it like the Deftones would play it if it were theirs. THIS cover is beyond awesome. Plus, the drummer here plays so similar to the Cure's best drummer, Boris Williams. Totally makes this song.
Its 3:06 am ... April 2019. Lots of stuff all over my head. The so called "mental" world storming.... And there is this sublime masterpiece. Thanks Deftones for being there. Amen.
I can relate to this exactly. I sit outside in the cool summer air, light a smoke, watch the trees sway and play this song on my headphones. It wraps itself around me and I am gone! Away...to that place they take me to. Their music is that journey and chinos voice you ride all the way there and back.
@@m11nusbl1ndfold OMG you got it....you got the true essence of this theme! Give me 5!! Glad to know that I'm not the only one doing such stuff. It's just that this tune is perfect to transport yourself away... Far away
If only tonight we could sleep In a bed made of flowers If only tonight we could fall In a deathless spell If only tonight we could slide Into deep black water And breathe And breathe Then an angel would come With burning eyes like stars And bury us deep In his velvet arms And the rain would cry As our faces slipped away And the rain would cry Don't let it end 🖤
This is some Goldeneye 007 levels of deception, the music runs deeper than the veins of meer mortality, it runs through our veins, to something deeper... I can't explain, but if you know....you know...keep it close....and never let it go...it will stay with you forever....
This song is a masterpiece. Hell most Deftones songs are masterpieces. Best band ever as far as I'm concerned next to Pink Floyd, Tool, and APC. They just put me on another level and take me to places I never thought possible.
Nah, blink were just as punky and raw as pre-seventeen seconds cure. I get that most people who like deftones won't take blink seriously, but their cover was good for a 3 piece.
This is a great cover, Deftones are my favorite band ,Chino,s vocals are amazing. He is so fucking beautiful , he just has this really romantic quality,I swear I'd marry him if I could. I've written so much erotica with him in it, I read it when I'm feeling naughty . The whole band is great, but Chino is my baby. Sigh.
Fucking wow...how did I never hear this, ridiculously amazing cover. One of my favorite Cure songs...wow they open it out into the mystical mist, heavy and spooky distorted
![Deftones - Minerva (Official Music Video) [HD Remaster]](http://i.ytimg.com/vi/mLa0-sQg1YM/mqdefault.jpg)
Chino was sounding studio quality in this shit
i bet that was cuz he only had to sing one song.
NAH FR 😭😭
For real
Imagine how many times he sang it under the shower when he was younger ;D Best music cover I've seen so far
Godlike
Hope someday we will see the same tribute but for The Deftones
Keep on dreamin' and I'll dream with you brother.
Oh yes... Deftones will be tributed, I claim it 🙏🙏
fuck yeah mate
@@bryanweary5274 I want a Deftones tribute
Suicide silence - engine no. 9
One of the darkest songs by The Cure imaginable and the Deftones CRUSHED it. While other bands played their greatest hits, the Tones brought something real.
Have you seen Chino perform Bodies and Snail with Smashing Pumpkins? Amazing dude Deftones rarely miss
So darkkkkk..
AFI and Blink did wonderful covering The Cure's songs. Deftones did awesome!
It's not even in the top 10 darkest Cure songs
100 Years "Am I a joke to you?" :p
It's a huge risk making the cover of a great classic: 99% of the time it doesn't stand up to comparison.... unless you're Deftones
Chino is the has been the best singer the last 20 years...except for Cornell. RIP
@@vwboy2012 damn I agree too much
B sides and rarities. A must own album of you don't already.
Anirvan Deva I like all their covers better than the originals.
Ummm layne Staley. Chinos up there though....
marilyn manson introducing deftones covering the cure is the most goth thing i have ever seen god bless
Hahahahahahaha
beachy peachy lmao! Amen to that! Pretty bad ass
beachy peachy totally came here to say exactly same words. 🖤
He introduced “The Deftones”
god bless!
Chi Cheng was an amazing musician. He is greatly missed.
rilenixx RIP
So tragic.... I wish he was still here !
He had a way about his playing and tone, dark and heavy. I miss Che as well. So tragic...
Keith G well said
He was my favorite bassist ever. So much energy was given from that man. If you want his legacy to live on, go donate to the charity in his name, Buckle Up For Chi. It's so important to wear a seatbelt EVERY TIME you're in a car. Maybe we'd still have Chi if he wore his seat belt when he had his accident.

Wow FUCK my whole life I have loved the cure and now I really love Deftones and when he came in on the lyrics I got the biggest chill of my entire life. Downright spiritual .
Settle down.
So fucking heavy... it’s hard to find covers that are even close to as good as the original but Deftones murdered it and the brought this song back to life just to kill it again. Haha so so so good. Love Roberts face while listening too.
The Cure were giving stand ovations for this performance! Deftones nailed it!
I want to marry you....we had the EXACT same thoughts to this
Not enough is made of the vocal on this performance. It’s incredible.
Not enough is said of the replication of every instrument - it’s flawless.
Truly is.
3:55....................the smile on their faces is the greatest sign of approval ever...........................what a cover !
Deftones were definitely in their element right here.
Abe killing again. What a drummer.
Totally, Abe the best at keeping the groove. Sometimes less is better, and for the deftones he is the perfect drummer.
Yup
He certainly is! Love the flying arms!
One of the hardest hitters out there! Much respect for Abe and Deftones!
@@dannytomlinson4533 such a beautiful thing isn't it? King of ghost notes, and hardest hitter with the most laid back attitude in the world.
Deftones was to my nineties what The Cure was to my eightees..
Brooo and still going DEFTONES!!!! They are there own genre az well iv noticed..rock hard till the end
Love your Taste
True Dat,Sista.
Truth
For Sure
Chino putting his all into this. Goddamn, I love Deftones.

Man.. MTV used to have such great shows.
used to be about music.
Reality Killed the Video Star
Deftones stole the show. Even The Cure themselves were digging it!
If only tonight we could sleep
In a bed made of flowers
If only tonight we could fall
In a deathless spell
If only tonight we could slide
Into deep black water
And breathe
And breathe...
Then an angel would come
With burning eyes like stars
And bury us deep
In his velvet arms
And the rain would cry
As our faces slipped away
And the rain would cry
Don't let it end...
Brinker?!

😔🙏🙏🙏blessss
Well u shoukd die hapy at the end of your life .. Even if that was the apex of it...
This is possibly the best cover I have EVER heard. I thought the Cash Hurt cover could never be beaten. This blows it out of the water
Hurt is overrated IMO.

Wrong, MTV was already dead, that’s why the came up with MTV2 that’d die shortly after as well 🙄🙄🤷🏽♀️🤷🏽♀️

No one:

lmfaoooo
I mean really, Frank kind of makes the band what it is. They would not sound the same otherwise.
I never thought that Deftones could make an already dark song even darker! I’m floored.
They need to cover the entire Pornography record
Can we just stop and talk about the stage presence Chi Cheng had as a bassist? Dude looks menacing as FUCK in this clip lol
Menacing is a perfect way to describe it
3:54 there is something eerie and surreal about RS's smile right after Chino's line, kind of gives you chills
They killed it! It's heavy and deep and Chino's voice is wonderful. It sounds pretty much like Robert's sometimes, but it still has that slightly twisted Deftones undertone... And the drumming is quite tight, of course, I expected nothing less. I love it, it's one of the best covers I've ever heard!

Please Deftones make a studio recording of this please please please !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
they did, but not this perfomance.
And it still much fucking awesome than this!
It's on their B-sides & Rarities album
Jesews Chraist
Thank you very much!
Jesews Chraist actually, that's not a Studio recording, it's taken from this MTV's ICON.
Irregular Hunter J
Thats what i tought . you can hear the crowd in the song . Do you know if there is any studio version of this??
The best live cover of all time
Its incredible! BUT, have you seen Limp Bizkit do Sanitarium on Metallica ICON?! WOW!
Deftones cover of Simple Man is amazing too.
@@skutts LIMP BIZKIT would not be allowed to carry Deftones guitars in from the van...
@@davidcales275 that's cool.
Deftones absolutely murdered this cover. Spot on, just as great as the original
One of the best covers they've ever done.
A Simple Man is up there too.
Dude that must have been a sick ass concert.
This version is so good it makes me want to put on black lipstick and eyeliner. Killed it!!
David Heck same dude
I went all goth inside
This is so good that I have come to the conclusion that it's rude Lol.
They made the song even better than The Cure, how was that even possible? I can't top this version and Im obsessed.
ROCK Genre at its PRIME!
The Cure played by Deftones...
What a tribute...
realy good tribute to the Cure , Chino the greatest
I don't know what sorcery this is but I think I found a cover that is better than perfection if thats even possible. Well done Deftones you achieved beyond perfection :)
Masterpiece. Rest in peace Chi.
2:57 Chi Cheng casts a beautiful magic
blessed comment
OMG. This cover is AMAZING! As a long-time Cure fan, big respect to the Deftones. You did the Cure proud.
Wow! I think I even prefer the Deftones version to most Cure live versions of this awesome song - and I'm a HUGE Cure fan who isn't mad about the Deftones!
Wayne Twine what is this whole cure vs deftones thing? I remember when I first saw it the Deftones message board (long time ago) said the cure didn't look happy with the cover.
Trish D - Well Deftones killed it! I loved their cover the most out of all, did you see Roberts face he could not even fake a smile...
I suppose there are exceptions here and there... like Friday I'm in Love or whatever... but when does The Cure ever look happy?
i loled at that
Cure's version is superior. But these guys give it the ole college try.
Still one of the best covers I have ever heard. The B Sides and Rarities album is full of absolute gems.
IKR, I'm not even a big deftones fan but I will always remember that album.
Deftones make incredible covers. Haven’t missed yet and often prefer their version.
2018/19 still addicted
I friggin love this song. It's so heavy, seductive and mysterious!!
Actually just seeing this for the first time
Abe is the fukkin man. dude he murdered it.
Love all these gothic dressed people with makeup and then at 2:39 is Paul from finance
chi
No
Cheng
:(
better that he was than not have been at all
I swear every time chino sings I have little mini psychedelic trip... his voice paired with such visual lyrics that dont mean shit just create ideas in your head. It almost makes me cry how artistic this band is, and the cure too haha.
i'm a big fan but I also understand that deftones is a hit or miss band when it comes to live performances. but they nailed it here.
No chance. Amazing live
You’re not wrong. This truly is an amazing cover for the Cure.
"Big fan" sure.
Deftones need to cover the entire Disintegration album.
Chi at 2:57 is FEELING this song/version. That's a huge part of why this version is so good....they LOVE the song, and the Cure.
don't let it end
You can tell the cure really enjoyed that
Descanse em Paz Chi
Great times, where MTV was a music television not a porn channel.
Even the cure was like holy shit that's better!!!
Steph had to be so bored for this whole thing lol
İ HAVE TO say this. I'm sorry but this is better than original.
Edit: big fan of the cure.
eu tambem achava ate eu ver o cure ao vivo
I would have to agree! Same with 311's cover or Love Song 👍
I agree
@grizzly_city No.
RIP Chi
Goosebumps.
I wish there was a surgery I could do to get Chinos voice. The entire band is one of a kind
LoL yeah I would never shut up
Have you listened to their cover of no ordinary love? My friend described it to me as "it's like having sex with a ghost". Lol. Either way, it's really good.
just leave it to the Defones to do a cover song and still make it sound like one of their own. So intense, wow
I remember watching this show. I may be remembering it wrong, but this performance was the only one, the cure looked to enjoy
This song never ceases to amaze me. The band does this song so good and Chino hits roberts smiths voice like fucking perfect. Amazing. Deftones are the kings of cover songs. Period. End of story.
Every cover they do is phenomenal.
I'm generally not a fan of covers for one major reason: Bands covering songs try to play the song like the original band does, and it never quite hits the mark.

My fav Cure cover. A rare case of liking this better than the original. Beautiful and Heavy.
this is probably one of chinos cleanest performance
only 1 song to go all in
I've heard chino himself say "the" deftones, who cares
What an insanely good live performance.
One of the best cover i never seen
I get the impression that Robert Smith was only really impressed with this cover. Every other band made a mess I think
Nah, blink were just as punky and raw as pre-seventeen seconds cure. I get that most people who like deftones won't take blink seriously, but their cover was good for a 3 piece.
blink was top-notch.
Afi was killin it too
Deftones and Afi killed it
Robert only smiles here
it''s like eating a yummy food. That's how I feel when i hear this, ugh very good, both cure and Deftones.
This is absolute perfection!
juntaram deftones e the cure meudeus que perfomance incrivel!!! e o robert smith assistindo de longe ainda, que foda!!
Was Robert crying?
This is a great cover, Deftones are my favorite band ,Chino,s vocals are amazing. He is so fucking beautiful , he just has this really romantic quality,I swear I'd marry him if I could. I've written so much erotica with him in it, I read it when I'm feeling naughty . The whole band is great, but Chino is my baby. Sigh.
one of the most badass tightest covers ever. they made the cure sound even darker than they already are.... deftones bitch.
that is really a masterpiece!!!!!
Deftones destroying my life once again and I love it.
Fucking wow...how did I never hear this, ridiculously amazing cover. One of my favorite Cure songs...wow they open it out into the mystical mist, heavy and spooky distorted
3:53 when you know they've nailed your song😎😎n made it just as good as the original
Duran durans Chafeur are good too even in live, keep it up guys
cocteau twins wax and wane cover is pretty fucking bad ass too.
Deftones + the cure... My life is complete
Love how this vid still active
Still remember seeing this show live on channel 4 late at night and realising I'd stumbled across something pretty damn special
Esto es magia pura.
