    ReplyDelete
  24. I can't think of anything to post except for whines about how bad I want to hear it. Obviously nothing to contribute, but I'll let you know if something worthwhile comes to mind. LOL!

    I love you Craig!

    ReplyDelete
  25. Oh girl, he is the one for sure...

    ReplyDelete
  26. Rev: Nuh uh! That's not what I heard! ;)

    ReplyDelete
  27. Pietro: Perfect boy is perfect! Slower than Mix 13, it seems, and bass is louder.

    ReplyDelete
  28. i hope they play at least one bside from the singles.

    ReplyDelete
  29. This is so frustrating. I want to HEAR all these new songs--not just get the descriptions. Can't wait to see them all posted on YouTube--hopefully very soon!

    ReplyDelete
  30. Mmm...love the bass on that one anyway. :)

    ReplyDelete
  31. I LOVE the exploding head version of TPB..

    ReplyDelete

    ReplyDelete
  38. Craig, I think I have to disagree!!!

    ReplyDelete
  39. Sleep When I'm Dead...but until then, I'll be posting links to the new songs. : )

    ReplyDelete
  40. Helsabot: I had to mail Craig to find out!!!
    Let's say it's to do with our Simon's attire and leave it there!

    ReplyDelete
  41. any commercial breaks on mtv italy ?
    or a one- through broadcast ???

    anybody watchning it on tv now ?

    ReplyDelete
  42. Penis Hugging Tights!

    Just for my V. : )

    ReplyDelete
  43. SBS and PHTS arent in Rome right now, thats why we're not hearing those reports. Rboert and Si left them in the loving room cuz they forgot to pack ;)

    ReplyDelete
  44. i was told once what it meant.. i whish i hadnt asked haha

    ReplyDelete
  45. Craig: You had to be soo damn explicit didn't you!

    I need to see the vids... but until then!

    ReplyDelete
  46. So that lasted 45 minutes. : P

    ReplyDelete
  47. naah, I think Simon wears those tights to bed.... and he showers in them too. He NEVER takes them off.

    Robert- I knew what they were, I've made countless comments on the subject.

    ReplyDelete
  48. What is the curfew for this show? I know Robert said that the encore would be truncated--any expectations on how long The Cure will get to play after 4:13 Dream?

    ReplyDelete
  49. After seeing the PHTs, you let out The Scream.

    ReplyDelete
  50. Rev: I meant 45 minutes of being grown up. : )

    ReplyDelete
  51. Hello, everyone!

    So, the main set only took 45 minutes? That was quick!

    ReplyDelete
  52. helsabot: they had to squeeze the album into an MTV hour (not the same as a regular hour).

    ReplyDelete
  53. This comment has been removed by the author.

    ReplyDelete
  54. oh my gosh you scared me craig!! LOL

    ReplyDelete
  55. you belive this are thight whch simon is wearing ???
    this is his SKIN, no thights.

    ReplyDelete
  56. Wow, this is so great!

    So, how do our live reports know which song is which, with the "new" songs? Is Robert announcing each one?

    ReplyDelete
  57. I wonder how the audience is reacting to the new songs??

    ReplyDelete
  58. Hi Kate!

    jarbee- I know... I wasn't sure how long they were going to play, or rather, how much time they were given..

    ReplyDelete
  59. I mean do they know it's the new album? Did they say anything about that before they started?

    ReplyDelete
  60. the majority of the crowd in rome prob doesn't realze how freakin' lucky they are

    ReplyDelete
  61. Just one song left ¡¡¡¡¡¡

    No way.......


    C´mon CURE......

    ¡¡¡ Burn down the house with BRDB !!!


    I want to see the links !!!!!

    GRRRRRRRRR

    ReplyDelete
  62. Olivier: The Scream ("your voice sounds strange... your eyes are too bright..." wow, this is incredible!)

    ReplyDelete
  63. I want so bad to see this, I could almost cry...

    ReplyDelete
  64. Scream sounds intense, the last two songs just build up on eachother. Very climactic, vids soo, plz!!!

    ReplyDelete
  65. I wonder if any in the crowd are confused--Is this really the Cure? I don't know any of the songs. Why aren't they playing "Just Like Heaven?"

    ReplyDelete
  66. LOL Jarbee, that's what I was thinking...

    ReplyDelete
  67. LOL.

    well europe has got alot of hardcore cure fans. im sure many of them are in rome right now!

    ReplyDelete
  68. Robert: "Thank you, that was 4:13 Dream! See you in a second."

    ReplyDelete
  69. Hey! What about The Hungry Ghost? So they are not following the original running order of the album after all?

    ReplyDelete
  70. Going to have to head off to 4:13 Dream land now - and awake to search YouTube.

    Thankx all for making this as real as possible

    XXX

    ReplyDelete
  71. Already played Hungry Ghost, and yes, it was all in order.

    ReplyDelete
  72. What robert said at the end of the set reminded me of Trilogy, like the "see you in 11 years" thing lol

    ReplyDelete
  73. I just want to say thanks to Craig and Pietro and Olivier. This is the best (well, and only) virtual concert I've ever been to! Can't wait to start seeing the clips!
    But man, Craig, you sure are fast on the page updates.
    Ok back to the show!
    hugs, J :D

  75. fmjews: How did you like the new songs? :)

    ReplyDelete
  76. Hopefully no one is pole-dancing onstage!

    ReplyDelete
  77. im guessing what they soundchecked is what they will play

    ReplyDelete
  78. LOL Scribbles! This one is definitely NOT in Rome! Instead he is skulking in a chilly English dining room whilst his wife watches the X factor next door!

    ReplyDelete
  79. Thank you J. This is a lot of fun.

    ReplyDelete
  80. The Scream is absolutly amazing. It sounds like Forever

    ReplyDelete
  81. FMJEWS!
    How quick can you get it on youtube?? Okay... GO!

    ReplyDelete
  82. Pietro: It's Over has the best bassline in god knows how many years and that's enough for it to become one of my favorites. Besides that, it rocks.

    ReplyDelete
  83. Reasons Why: it could be a better single than others
    Sirensong: it has something of Jupiter Crash, but in a better way

    ReplyDelete
  84. Encore goes on

    Fascination street

    ReplyDelete
  85. PJ - silly moi! here i was thinking you flew there! LOOL.

    when its done, robert will throw his shirt to the italian girls!

    ReplyDelete
  86. fmjews.. are you uploading ??????????????????

    ReplyDelete
  87. It's Over will always be Baby Rag Dog Book to me no matter what. And it's the hardest rocking song The Cure will ever do. Instant classic for me

    ReplyDelete
  88. got a call again - listening to fasc sstreet

    ReplyDelete
  89. i agree omni.

    im itching for those videos!!

    ReplyDelete
  90. Real snow white: it's starting rock, the chorus is more poppish
    Switch: it's better that i listen one more time
    The Hungry Ghost: it promises very well

    ReplyDelete
  91. I can't believe it - wrong number - I'm still on the phone

    ReplyDelete
  92. LOL (again) Scribbles! Of the many things I'd like to see Robert do, that is not one of them!

    ReplyDelete
  93. Haaah, Wrong Number! I know how everyone loves that one...

    ReplyDelete
  94. drowning and v: i have to transfer the video from my dvd recorder to my pc... It will be a long long night

    ReplyDelete
  95. I love this song live it really rocks out at the end.

    ReplyDelete
  96. I love Robert, but I wouldn't want to be smothered in his sweaty shirt... or would I?

    ReplyDelete
  97. Will they do the dreaded duo? : P

    ReplyDelete
  98. Craig: I was wondering that, tooo. :)

    ReplyDelete
  99. not bad encores but I hope they play something that they haven't played for years!

    ReplyDelete
  100. BEAU! *tackles and hugs*

    I WANT A BSIDE!!

    ReplyDelete
  101. This Here and Now with you: arab sounds (and so The Scream)
    The Scream is absolutly mi favorite one, think at period between The Top and Head, that sound of guitar and a great Robert singing.

    I LOVE IT!!!!!

    ReplyDelete
  102. Oh you have to love the dreamers in here. : )

    ReplyDelete
  103. Just read it somewhere else - Porl is wearing an undershirt with skulls right now

    ReplyDelete
  118. Aww, now V will cry all night.

    ReplyDelete
  119. (heart) to my Cure CoF peeps, I must depart! See you soon!

    ReplyDelete
  124. Craig: Aww yeah, don't I know it! ;)

    ReplyDelete
  125. I think they should surprise us all and play "Burn" to close the show--I just think that song would ROCK live!

    ReplyDelete
  126. I know V, but I can stand acronyms for just so long…

    ReplyDelete
  127. im also having missed callings today but we'll see:)

    ReplyDelete
  128. *mourns with craig over twilight garden and Chain of flowers*

    ReplyDelete
  129. helsabot - just my best guess is all :)

    ReplyDelete
  130. Bye rev. :)

    My bet is on FiIL to finish. If not then A forest.

    ReplyDelete
  131. BURN! wow that would be a real treat! that was my first cure song:)
