Yes its a bummer they don't have the 5 piece these days, but there may be other factors at play preventing them from doing so.<br /><br />I would be very interested to hear a one guitar with keys arrangement of "Underneath The Stars" - I think it could sound epic if the right sounds were used.<br /><br />I hope Robert gives Roger a bit of freedom to use whatever technology is at his disposal - both live and in the studio, because that could/would make things very interesting. "Hungry Ghost" from Bestival sounded pretty cool, and I am very interested to see how "Open" sounded also. Some of the guitar heavy songs could easily translate to keys, just like Porl was able to bring certain keys sounds/riffs to guitar.<br /><br />You could really sense Roger's excitement in this interview, and I think, moving forward, this can only be a good thing for the band.theseashallnothavethemhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18335856730413226254noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1886767188052333210.post-46041608683777654392011-09-14T13:21:03.940-05:002011-09-14T13:21:03.940-05:00I can understand having Roger back, but not having...I can understand having Roger back, but not having Porl to have an extra, talented guitarist is idiotic.

A particular lineup of instruments suits a certain style of music.<br />Obviously from a live point of view, FTEOTDGS, which is quite guitar heavy is not going to sound quite right as a four piece as obviously the piece was written with the Wish Lineup in mind. <br />Whereas a classic example of someting that did work a Bestival was The Caterpillar as a similar instrumentation was used (Yes I was a music student once upon a time.. :p)<br /><br />So obviously whatever the group comes up with next will have that lineup in mind..notherbobhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03819634431082665646noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1886767188052333210.post-63097736691752335432011-09-13T00:48:06.285-05:002011-09-13T00:48:06.285-05:00I disagree, I think this lineup has alot of potent...I disagree, I think this lineup has alot of potential.. <br /><br />Two guitars, bass and drums was alot more limiting in terms of instrumentation whereas now we have a bit of everything again..notherbobhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03819634431082665646noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1886767188052333210.post-61671464161871069682011-09-13T00:41:48.617-05:002011-09-13T00:41:48.617-05:00Good interview with an uplifting vibe to it.

However there are many Cure songs that need a second guitarist. Think of the many songs that Robert plays is six string bass during. Where would they be without a guitar during those?Closedownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15519238293973517820noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1886767188052333210.post-85770880969765309212011-09-12T23:49:46.147-05:002011-09-12T23:49:46.147-05:00i love roger but i dont like tha sound of the cure...i love roger but i dont like tha sound of the cure i m not very happy whit tha :( porl is essential for the cure :)erichttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03463142091682433410noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1886767188052333210.post-50065233950427725942011-09-12T22:18:55.239-05:002011-09-12T22:18:55.239-05:00Hahaha...if he had only known what was to come! : ...Hahaha...if he had only known what was to come! : )Craighttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17355214926335490436noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1886767188052333210.post-53880867603950749802011-09-12T22:16:58.683-05:002011-09-12T22:16:58.683-05:00It would have been funny if Robert picked Sean Pen...It would have been funny if Robert picked Sean Penn to play him!
