Reeves has defintely "aged" the band. there, I said it... I would guess that Reeves, Robert, Simon & Roger are all similar in age (Jason may be a little bit younger), but the band has appeared to have seemed ageless until now. This is all superficial, by the way.... :)<br /><br />- I like the concept of a guest player, and whilst I am largely unfimiliar with his work, it seems Reeves is one of the few capable of pulling it off. I can't say "Wrong Number" is one of my favourite Cure moments, but I can appreciate they were going for something different at the time. As long as Reeves is true to the Cure sound, it shouldn't be an issue... and those Reverend guitars are cool :)<br /><br />- Would love to know what happened with Perry, as it seems that door is forever closed. From what interviews I've seen with him (Trilogy dvd etc) he seemed a very mellow guy who was loyal and true to the ideals of the band and what it represented. Also, the fact that he could cover guitar and keys was an added bonus.<br /><br />- the band sounds great with this lineup. The songs now sound complete, without some of the missing riffs etc that has hampered some of the 4 piece lineups since 2005. The Cure works best as a 5 piece - no question!!!theseashallnothavethemhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18335856730413226254noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1886767188052333210.post-14207389889000478972012-05-27T20:52:47.227-05:002012-05-27T20:52:47.227-05:00where'd you get this?where'd you get this?Lindseyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00971064662496072995noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1886767188052333210.post-30738185124613480962012-05-27T19:59:52.507-05:002012-05-27T19:59:52.507-05:00Would be cool if Porl or Perry were back in the ba...Would be cool if Porl or Perry were back in the band but I do not see it happening either. GR sounded great in the videos so far, will have to see how the summer shows go but I think he's a decent choice. Whether he will do anything with the Cure beyond the summer, only time will tell but it will be interesting to see what happens in the future!

Too many bridges have been burned for that. So if The Cure is to have a second guitarist, it has to be somebody from outside. Reeves seems to be a great choice, even if it is only temporary for now. More importantly, this also seems to be an acknowledgement from Robert that The Cure works best as a five-piece.Nicohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15252066381687104702noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1886767188052333210.post-42572029927071180742012-05-27T09:27:58.070-05:002012-05-27T09:27:58.070-05:00Yeah, this is great but I still want Porl or Perry...Yeah, this is great but I still want Porl or Perry...Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1886767188052333210.post-82188526325138196432012-05-27T09:23:15.663-05:002012-05-27T09:23:15.663-05:00Well actually I agree.

As for RG being subtle..more like virtually inaudible for 90% of the show..at least on the live feed I watched. We'll see how he develops I guess as the tour progresses.
