The Cure

[Csargo]

I went out today and bought the Greatest Hits of the Cure and I'm liking what I'm hearing. I was just wondering if there was any other Cure fans out there.

Glad you're back at the .Org.

I haven't heard of The Cure, but I'll look them up sometime...

[LeftEyeNine]

A loooooong way to know about who is who there AlexMaco, start with Boys Don't Cry.

[Byzantine Prince]

I like Gothic Rock but I don't like the Cure. Maybe it's just my ears but I never hear a hook out of any of his songs.

[L'Impresario]

Nah, start with "Lovesong" and "A Forest". Then the whole "Disintegration" and "Pornography" albums. Actually most of their albums heh
Also seeing them live is a worthwhile experience. Robert Smith is still a very intense performer, but I think they 've really cut on the number of their appearances these years.

[LeftEyeNine]

Start with what L'Impresario mentioned and finish with Boys Don't Cry.

(zombie effect..)

[Csargo]

Glad to see there are some Cure fans. This is the first time I listened to them and I really like them the reason I decided to buy one of there cds is cause Tom Delonge is a fan of them and Blink 182 is my favorite band so I decided to check them out.

the Cure are great, saw them a few years ago, much fun. except for their crap support bands.

How could you not love a band fronted by Fat Bob.

[R'as al Ghul]

I did like them in the 80s. Nowadays, their front guy Robert ? became just pathetic.

I wonder how the single "Killing an Arab" would make it today?
Iirc it goes something like this:

Standing on a beach with a gun in my hand,
Standing on the beach, staring at the sand
Killing an Arab.

There was a pretty sweet episode of South Park involving Robert Smith. He killed Barbara Streisand, but she was asking for it, because she was mecha-Godzilla.

[L'Impresario]

I wonder how the single "Killing an Arab" would make it today?
Iirc it goes something like this:

Well, considering that Albert Camus wasn't that much of a racist, I think it 'd be fine

[R'as al Ghul]

Well, considering that Albert Camus wasn't that much of a racist, I think it 'd be fine

Aha. Thanks, I had no idea.
Ignorant me.

[Taffy_is_a_Taff]

Actually, the Cure is headed by Robert "Fat Bob" Smithenstein, a rabid and notorious Zionist.

The record company came out with that Camus rubbish to cover their behinds.

[Csargo]

Nice little discussion we got here keep it going

[Taffy_is_a_Taff]

OK, here's another strange things about the Cure:
Simon Gallup is a vampire, he doesn't age, look at the pictures.

HE IS IMMORTAL and will suck your blood.

[Moros]

Yeah, the cure. I even have buyed CD's of that band. THat means I like them a lot.

Thats awesome

[Moros]

I have something with older music. On my mp3-player Almost all my songs are at least 10 years old. And it's not because I have memories about them or because Iwas young back then (because I'm only 16).

[Togakure]

... their front guy Robert ? became just pathetic. ...

Funny how singers in rock bands tend to do that ... all the drink, drugs, sex, ego gratification overload, and complete lack of self-control. Most of the bands I was in split up eventually because of one member or another becoming disgruntled with the singer and his/her antics.

I like The Cure. I did the same thing: bought their greatest hits long after they were popular and said, "hey, I like this." I bought several other albums by them and ended up just liking the greatest hits best. That one album is all The Cure I need--it's got most of their good old songs on it, and nice new mixes too.
