nice, hare krishna greetings from bosnia

Jajajajaaaa. Que bueno. 😅

Greetings from Mannheim. Was there too

Their best drummer IMO.

For sure - I discovered the band in '92, they were indeed such a machine then with Boris as that extra "edge" that really made them pop during this era, with Burn being his last hurrah. From the opening few beats of Dredd Song, I knew immediately had changed. The Cure were going soft. Some truly awful drum sounds to come. The broadcast of Glastonbury '95 also confirmed that this drummer was NOT a god like Boris and Andy were... And Perry suddenly taking over a bunch of the lead guitar in '96? Really cringeworthy if you actually listen, anemic and sloppy, no attitude, bad intonation etc. etc... Either you "get" this issue with the band or you don't (or you're in denial)... Almost every successful band - like them or not - has a fairly solid drummer... Not The Cure - not anymore, and apparently not ever again it seems. Just snap Mr. Cooper to the grid as usual, and you've got some perfectly monotonous studio percussion to contrast with the "I'm just barely keeping up!" vibe he imparts to the rest of the band in a live setting...

@@echo1434 I absolutely agree with everything you've stated .Interesting thing about Boris Williams was he joined the cure to actually get away from being in a stadium act. Being in the Thompson Twins before The Cure he was playing stadiums although they weren't letting him be creative... I think Boris got frustrated with being in The Cure because it just became too big. Considering the fact that Boris after walking out in 1994 really hasn't done a whole lot sense! I remember reading somewhere years ago that Boris had said that when it came to the fame of The Cure and the fact that he had to have his own personal bodyguard that was when he knew he needed to leave. I do know this much if it wasn't for Boris Williams The Cure never would have made it to those stadiums and never would have been as successful as they were... I think that he was possibly the most important member of the band next to Robert Smith. Andy Anderson was also a huge influence as well I always found it to be really sad that the 1984 line up did not have more time to grow. In a lot of ways the 1984 line up was much more aggressive than any other lineup at least in my opinion...

This is the dream team lineup!

'A band's only as good as their drummer' - an old saying that proves itself true over and over again.

​@@echo1434 eat your words...the new stuff is incredible and the drumming and percussion especially stands out!!

67 and yes same here 😊

Good choise

I’am 56 and saw them the last 8th of November in Montpellier south France for my 17th concert of The Cure since the first one in 1986…. Always and forever !!!

I'm 60 too, and I'm grateful every day we grew up with this. We had The Cure, The Jam, Special aka, Clash, Talking Heads, The Smiths, Stone Roses and the kids now have got joke acts like Bruno Mars, Sam Smith and various other mediocrity. In a generational sense we dodged a cannon ball.

Don't think you ever stop.

Mark your mistaken. You sir Must not live the blues

Eddie could have been a great blues player, but he was too into his brand of hair metal so he didn't pay mind to other genres really.

​@@rodrigoodonsalcedocisneros9266 Follow the money.

Und Boris.

They all do, but I'm here for sexy Simon! 💋

@@tutsybassista well yeah. Sexy Simon. Is a beast.

1987. Not 1988

They are touring now! Don’t live in the past! Go get your tickets!

This WISH tour was awesome….. like all other tours …. ( maybe except NÎMES 98 ( south France) because they were drunk and stoned…… My 17th gig of The CuRE was last November in Montpellier ( south France)

Glad you liked it, and thanks for the info. From an assortment of recordings I heard from the tour, I just knew it wasn't an every night thing - I'll check this other version out!

It wasn’t an every night thing. I saw them in 2007 at the all state arena in rosemont, Illinois (formerly the rosemont horizon). Search for I’m The One on UA-cam from October of 2007. Don’t want to give anything away but they played the United Center in Chicago that weekend and it was totally different. I then went to see them in Scottsdale, AZ that same year and they did this motorcycle sound challenge thing between the 2 of them. That’s when they were at their best. First VH show was 1984 tour in Dallas at Reunion Arena and they were WAY too drunk and coked up. Best tour with Mikey was the “hide your sheep” tour 1982. Search for the show from that year from Largo, MD, unbelievable. Miss EVH every day, the absolute transcending soundtrack to my generations memories. Thanks for the post, thoroughly enjoyed it!!

I hate people who say shit like ‘i was born in the wrong generation.’ But i would love to have been born just in time to catch some earlier Cure concerts and The Smiths also. But it’s great how we’ve access to so many live songs/ shows thankfully

Fan since 1982 and still love the Cure as much as ever 🎸🎸🎸

Ciao buongiorno x p. Ll

My first cure concert too I was 14.

I played Simonette in a Cure tribute band (The Xploding Boys) for 7 years! It was the time of my life....
