Any The Cure fans here?

Definitely mate, I was playing Love Song on YT the other night, awesome bass lines & tone.

Yes, big fan here. I discovered them in in '85 with The Head On The Door and worked my way back from there. My favourite album still is Seventeen Seconds. I then lost touch with the new stuff in the '00s. The original trilogy (17 Seconds, Faith, Pornography) was in all likelihood the reason I picked up the bass.

The first gig I went to was The Cure in '86. Recently, I saw them at the Albert Hall in 2011 for the Reflections show, then took my son to see them at Reading in 2012 and started seeing them again every time they tour since. They're a great live band, they have such a huge back catalogue that each show is different and even though they play for 3 hours, it's never enough

17 Seconds for me is their best followed by Faith but after that I lost interest.

Anyone vaguely alternative at school had a Cure phase in the 80s. I liked the bass player Simon Gallup. I felt they did some killer songs but there was just a bit too much that passed me by. Robert Smith really hasn't aged too well as this photo that was doing the rounds a while back suggests.

He is nearly 60 though. Carrying a few extra pounds, but I can't knock anyone for that myself 😂

The thing is, what does he do? Cut his short and knock the makeup on the head? Then folks would slate him for giving up and becoming old, although that was his look in the early days, so now my post is meaningless

Looks like he's still got his own hair, own teeth, and his voice is still as good as ever, so I reckon he's doing pretty good. Who says musicians have to age well anyway? That's why I took up bass and gave up a potential career as a fashion model ;-)
