    anyone notice Robert's fond way of looking at Simon finish out "a forest"? It was kind of Motherly, like the way my mom looked at me when i received my high school diploma you know. Something's up but we may never know. This show was better than Vegas. I also was able to create a decent mosh/slam pit during "push" to which some people said was a first (so easy to get buy in from Cure fans). What a wonderful show and my 14 year old son was a part of it as well. I gave him a fond fatherly look when he passed on the weed that was offered to him by some bozo. But really, watch the end of "a forest" and see what i mean.
    Hello to everyone, I met Heron tonight (woo hoo sweet lady). The last time Cure played coachella the sound was terrible, Robert puked on stage, and the crowd stunk. This was a whole new world and i hope this dark album fucking rocks.

    I'm sure that we'll hear from Robert about this soon enough. I'd also like to hear an explanation from the promoter. As far as I'm concerned, if one of your headliners wants to blow past the curfew, why not let them keep playing? It's the band that's responsible for paying the fines, not the promoter.

    ReplyDelete
  43. cure_kittyApril 20, 2009 at 11:17 AM

    Hmmm....I wonder why the promoter did that too?. They let PM play way over the limit but gave The Cure such a crappy get off the stage now send-off!

    I guess it's like the one article said, Paul M is a Beatle and Robert isn't. Still it's no reason to pull the plug on The Cure like they way they did.

    As to the Curfew: I think you have to take into consideration that it was the final night of the festival. A lot of work has to be done after the final act has finished to end the festival. Opening night, they can let it slide.

    That said, they could have let them finish the last song ans say goodnight!

    It good to see that despite the sound being cut off, RS doesn't seem to be too upset. He kind of seems a bit amused about the whole thing. I love that man!!!

    They should have let them finish the set. What's another 20 or so minutes going to do? Why have the festival if your going to do stuff like that.

    And I'm surprised a riot from the audience didn't break out after they did that to The Cure but it was good it didn't happen!

    @ Morris..."and let's get the Queenie over there to knight Sir Robert",LOL...He'd never say yes, but you are absolutly right....so many people get knighted here in England for no reason at all apart from being "celebs"(ie never done anything in their life) it would be more than deserved if Robert was asked..he(and the band) have done so much for popular music...but again he'd probably tell them to fuck off!!

    Podgirl: Yes, Robert cut or injured his hand during the Vegas show, and it became very swollen. Don't know if that was the reason for the Vegas ending, as there were many problems that night. But I have a feeling that we will hear from Robert very soon. : )

    look at Robert watching Simon finish out the end of "a forest", priceless. He sure does have a more loving attitude lately. What would we do without their music? I would have continued in the early 80's with Run DMC and the Dead Kennedy's and definately wound up in jail :).

    ReplyDelete
  87. MorrisApril 22, 2009 at 12:23 PM

    They're smaller because the quality where the splits are made deteriorates.

    I don't mean to be a dick but can you please take the splits down? It says on my tumblr that you can split them for your own personal use but not to distribute them. I know I sound like a dick but it says that clearly on my tumblr. Thanks for listneing everyone though. When I get back home from America in June I will distribute the .wavs then and you can split/distribute those however you want.
