MTV's ICON

[rainstories]

did anyone see that show on MTV called ICON? there was an amazing episode featuring THE CURE and all these bands (razorlight, the deftones etc. etc.) played cure songs in tribute as robert smith and the band watched. then they (THE CURE) went up and played a few songs themselves to close the show. it was AMAZING

Oh man, that is an AMAZING show. ^-^ I'm not too sure if you could get it anywhere...try Amazon or something? And if all else fails, you could download it and burn it to a DVDR, if you wanna watch it wherever. :)

I've seen it, but only on the internet. It apparently was England only and never aired in America. AFI's rendition of "Just Like Heaven" was pretty good though.

I have mixed feelings about ICON though. For the three they aired in America (Janet Jackson, Aerosmith, and Metallica, respectively) it seemed like they were celebrating the particular artist not being relevant anymore, and I just couldn't get into it. Not to mention Metallica's ICON special was literally painful to watch.

that's weird... it had to have been aired in america at some point, because that's how i originally saw it. maybe it was on MTV2 or something like that. i've just been trying to locate it ever since! :0)

and yes, the metallica episode was extremely bad. especially when you have people like avril saying in an interview that she had NEVER heard their music before!? wow, GREAT choice of people to get to pay a tribute!

The whole thing is up on youtube, but the voice goes rather array in the last parts which is fairly annoying.
