I've lost my respect for Robert Smith (The Cure)

As opposed to non-death-oriented suicide?

:)

I saw that too!! I just didn't feel like making a post. ;) But what an asshole thing for him to say... ew. And comparing The Darkness to Queen, while there are SLIGHT simliarities, is like comparing apples to oranges (that was such a bad comparison... you all know what I mean). >:(

I remember once Roger showing how arrogant he is and saying in a quote...

You don't see a lot of great songwriters like me these days, perhaps Freddie Mercury, but not many.

am i odd for saying that the smiths make me smiley and not want to commit suicide?
In fact i think depressing things make me undepressed... school, however, is a good reason to get depressed.

It's like asking the question "Who is more remembered, Queen or The Cure?"...
...no question! :-)
I only remember The Cure as an 80s band, nothing really noteworthy. If you asked me who Split Enz were, I would tell you they were a really tight band musically but unfortunately never became what they should have.
Queen surpassed them all and they have the right to be remembered daily! Robert may be more than a little green-eyed with envy over Queen and Freddie's success, but crying over milk that was spilt years ago is a little stale, don't you think?
And I adore The Darkness. I saw them live in Nashville a few weeks ago and thought they were lovely. I really enjoyed myself at their show. Very high-energy and fun, like an early Queen concert. And people of all ages were there too -- that should tell you something!

Yeah...I was pretty suprised myself. That must've taken a lot of balls for some synthesizer-dependant prick to insult Queen! Queen has set sales records, stadium attendance records, and are inducted members of the Rock 'n Roll Hall of Fame. What can the Cure say that they could've done better than Queen as musicians of their craft? Even the concept of trying to compare two bands is retarded. Especially those idiots that try to compare Queen to Zeppelin, and it would be even more difficult I listen to a variety of different music, Procol Harum, Queen, The Band, AC-DC, Bob Dylan, Metallica, Judas Priest, Stevie Ray Vaughan, Roy Buchanan, and so on. Granted he does have the right to his own opinion, but one thing he fails to recognize is that the press is going to be watching him and his band. It would've been O.K. for him to just say that he's not a fan of their music...but he had to step out on a limb and say that he/she whatever it is say that it thought Queen sucked. Well...let's just wait and see what happens to their record sales...

To call Queen an 'awful' band is just wrong.I mean,yes everybody's intitled to their own opinion,but the fact is that a group like Queen deserves to be respected.I dislike the Rolling Stones,doesn't mean that they suck,'cause I respect they achievements.

the cure anyways so whatever...

that doesn't make much sense when you consider that one of the groups that likes and appreciates Queen the most is grunge rock.

As well as Robert Smith is entitled to his opinion, in the same way we are entitled to oposse to him.
And what better way than by downloading songs by 'The Cure'.

All I can say is that Robert Smith is jealous of the sucess that Queen had, and he's still pissed because by a far far shot Queen achieved a lot more than 'The Cure'.
Besides, 'The Cure' was way too overshadowed by Depeche Mode all the way through the 80s. So they weren't even the best on that kind of genre.

Yea but hasnt anyone noticed that The Cure are crap? And what music do they play? What is it called? Apart from crap?

Freddie hated AC/DC... another one of my fav's. I'm not going to stop listening/buying Queen stuff because Freddie hated AC/DC.

Go with what *you* like.... who gives a shit what others think.[/QUOTE]

Indeed! People have different taste.. that's a normal thing in life.. Don't judge someone by it's taste. That's so childish. Grow up man!

It's a compliment to Queen he is jealous (However I doubt that).
Let Robert Smith why don't we chear him up with buying a the DVD The greatest hits? We know Queen is great I just can't understand you have a problem with that.
My Tip to Mr.Jingles: Search yourself a fine hobby or a fine girl-friend, and think about thinks who really matters, goodnight.

(Sorry I'm sutch a bitch, but I'm loving it)

Seems to me like you love being a bitch... have you ever considered stop being one? Perhaps you should stop listening too much 'The Cure' because as I can see that's what's making you too much of a bitch. If you do so, I promise to stop watching 'The Green Mile'.

And yes, FYI I have a hobbies and a girlfriend. Just ask Mex or Mandy (geeks). So I guess the one who has a lonley and pathetic life is you then.

Oh... this is so pathetic.
Is it really that hard to comprehend that someone may just not like Queen? They don't necessarily have to be jealous of their success. He also likes groups such as The Beatles, who were even more commercially successful than Queen ever were.
So... Robert Smith doesn't like their music. Big deal. I still love The Cure. On a par with Queen, in my eyes. Still, his musical taste is totally independent of my liking of his group. It should have no repurcussions on whether you purchase a CD or not- that's just petty.
Yeah, I'm sure Robert Smith will be absolutely devastated that one person hasn't purchased his Greatest Hits CD. To lose respect for someone due to the fact you disagree on one little issue...? *sigh*

Oh... and no Queen fan has the right to make fun of anyones hair or make up! I just happen to be randomly watching a Cure video at the moment (as you do), and Robert, of course, looks damn hot. So :op

*rant over*
I'm sorry if I got all evil there, I just don't like people bitchin' about Fat Bob... and Queen fans are so damn good at bitchin'
Do buy the CD, though...
