The only disappointing thing about his playing is to my ears anyway, a decent ammount of what he does add takes away from the cure style, like his almost mute playing on lullaby, or the abrasive take on love song.<br /><br />I really am pleased with him for the most part though. We all have our favorites on here, but I think just going through each individual's tenure and what they brought is special enough. You can always revisit it if you want to on the countless bootlegs.MattFhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09084713494205627735noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1886767188052333210.post-66758628637384076172015-11-13T03:16:25.764-06:002015-11-13T03:16:25.764-06:00...including a song that STILL has yet to be relea......including a song that STILL has yet to be released, 'A Boy I Never Knew'.

Lets face it, they've had long enough to make one. I dread to think what an album with Reeves on guitar will sound like though. Good guitarist don't get me wrong but he doesn't fit The Cure in my opinion.

Just like Sisters of Mercy (probably for some different reasons, though). That doesn't mean that Robert and the current line up don't have new tracks. I'm sure we'll hear some on this tour. Just like Sisters of Mercy present some 1 -2 new tracks per year (sometimes, even less) on concerts, just to keep the interest from dying off. Imagine, from business perspective, they put out a new CD or double LP, the hardcore fans don't dig it for some reason, the younger ones miss to pay attention...then some people might decide to not even go to the concerts...Not only weak CD sales, but also half full venues...So, whatever strategy Robert & Co came up with, I think we need to support them...this, my friends, eventually might pay off with a new legitimate fat release...Maybe someday...:) Vesselinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16051100010223822319noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1886767188052333210.post-85348069518494466762015-11-11T18:54:38.764-06:002015-11-11T18:54:38.764-06:00Nothing to do with me.
