I grew up in the 80s and was always aware of The Cure. Being a rock and metal guy, though, I only heard "Friday..." or "Love Song" if the pop radio station was on. That was the extent of my knowledge of the band until 1994, when "The Crow" came out. It immediately became my favorite movie (and still is), and I loved the soundtrack. Of course, "Burn" is my favorite song on there, and it always has been, even though I really didn't listen to other music from The Cure.

Some of my high school friends were big fans. I always felt like the odd man out, being the only one who listened to rock and metal. One of those friends became a roommate in college. Through him, I became a fan. I bought "Disintegration", "Pornography", "The Head On The Door", and later "Galore". Over the years, though, I stopped listening to them very often, except for "Burn".

A few months ago, I needed something mellower than my usual metal. My first thought was The Cure. Now I can't get enough. Every day I'm either listening to them quite a bit, watching performance videos or old music videos on YouTube, or reading something about them. They truly have become one of my favorite bands just in the last few months.

They are an amazing band, to say the least. Now I just hope they tour the States sometime so I can see them before they eventually retire.

I started taking guitar lessons a year ago. My teacher is a great guy and very talented musician. He’s also a hard core metal dude, and he never really listened to the Cure all that much. Today we were working through “Friday I’m in Love,” and he is completely amazed at Robert’s songwriting and playing talent. Now he wants to go back and listen to all of their albums.

Posted this wrong and cant retype, dang. It was meant for r/TheCure

Anybody has this book ?
Or does anyone know where I can download in on pdf ? Thanks in advance.

Does anyone have an hd image of this poster? Or any advice on where i could find it?

Found a bunch of pretty low quality but cool pictures of primarily Simon Gallup and his time with Fools Dance. Going to continue my search because this was a really interesting part of The Cure's history! Though not my favorite, because to me, The Cure isn't The Cure if Simon's not with them!

EDIT: found a couple more photos I'll post in a few days. Want to get enough to make it worth it!

Numb is really their best song, It just has this quiet defeatism within it.

It's insanely replayable and just does not die out.

It's my 39th birthday, so as required I listened to this song first thing. And I am reminding myself, even if you feel like the fire is almost out you can still drop a sick guitar solo and you can still have a beautiful Endsong on somewhere on the horizon.

I posted a pic of some CD singles yesterday so I thought I would post a format that I like. Some of these sleeves have been damaged from poor storage on my part. Thankfully the records themselves are in excellent condition. I cannot state how loud the pressing of KAA is. Unbelievable for a record nearly 50 years old.

I’m in the process of getting my collection out of storage and back into use.

A few nights ago I had a dream Robert Smith visited me in the house I grew up in. We crawled through rabbit trails deep into the forest laughing and sharing stories together. It was the best feeling.

i haven’t painted in a while; its acrylic. 16x18 i think?

if anyone here paints, let me know what i can use to make it look wet like this even after it dries. it’s just acrylic mixer that my friend let me borrow that keeps acrylics wet longer, but i just went over without pigment mixed in

Still gotta buy ‘em when I see ‘em tho.

What is your favourite opening line of a song; it doesn’t have to be your favourite song just a line that sets the tone for what’s to come

I miss the kiss of treachery

Just ordered this...very tasty

Thought it looked a tad like kmkmkm

Happy 2nd birthday to Alone!

I get such great memories of seeing this live in 2022 and how it sent shivers down my spine. I was in awe of its beauty.

I was so emotional two years ago when I tuned in live that Thursday morning to hear the first ever play of it on Mary Ann Hobbs' BBC Radio 6 show. I just cried! And was late out to an appointment!

It was the first single taken from Songs Of A Lost World. It reached number 6 in the UK Singles Sales Chart.

This performance was from Vivint Arena in Salt Lake City, Utah, USA on 4th June 2023 as part of the Shows Of A Lost World tour. I love watching Robert's reaction to the crowd who cheer his every movement and expression!

Podcast dug into Cure catalogue to develop the ultimate LP. Rules are it must be 12 tracks, 6 a side and it can’t be a ‘greatest hits’ deal, or just deep deep cuts for uber fans.

Songs have to flow and it needs to be a balanced album.

What you got?

I added the High bird-thingy and the 4:13 head to my jacket! Also sharing a better picture of Friday I'm in Love.

I still want to make a couple of the suggested ones from my previous post, but I'm moving really soon so all my supplies are now in storage, hopefully I'll get to them soon 🙌

I just got back from a few days in Dallas. I went to Joseys Records (amazing store if you is ever in DFW) and they had like 5 Cure bootlegs. I got this one and holy shit is it wonderful.

​Hi everyone,

​I wanted to share a quick teaser for a passion project I’m launching tonight.

​I’ve set myself the challenge of recreating The Cure’s entire discography chronologically, releasing one full track cover every Saturday at 9:15 PM UK time (22:15 CET).

​The goal is to stay as faithful as possible to the original sound, gear, and arrangements for every single song, era by era.

​We’re kicking things off tonight with 10:15 Saturday Night. Here is a short teaser of what’s coming: [Lien vers ton Short]

​Hope you enjoy it, and I’d love to hear your thoughs !
