    Hey guys help me out here. Can you refresh my memory on what happened between Perry-Roger, and Rogert Smith that lead to their departure.

    Also what is the story between Craig and Robert Smith? I keep reading this little parts to the story but I'm still lost.

    Thanks

    Once again, I feel like a traitor: I'm going to another show tonight, so I won't be around for most of tonight's show chat. I will try to check in when I get home - it's possible they'll still be playing encores in San Diego by the time I get back from Red Rocks, but I don't know. :( Anyway, I hope you guys have fun and I will miss chatting with you all! I should be able to make it in for Phoenix tomorrow night. :)

    who are you seeing tonight, v?

  8. vJune 3, 2008 at 3:48 PM

    MonkeyButt: REM w/ Modest Mouse. I'm not a huge fan of either band, but Red Rocks is such a great venue that I figured if I ever checked either of them out live, this would be the place to do it! :)

    V - REM and Modest Mouse!!! So jealous. Say hi to Johnny Marr for me. : )

    Thanks Craig. :) I admit I am going to have a hard time not letting my mind stray with thoughts like, "Hmm, wonder what the opener was? Are they going to play any new songs? Will Paul be giving any 'special updates'?" :D

  13. vJune 3, 2008 at 3:52 PM

    Craig: I will tell Johnny you say hi, for sure!! ;) Every thing I have heard about this show is good, so I think I will have a good time, even if I don't know either of the bands' songs that well.

  14. CraigJune 3, 2008 at 3:53 PM

    It's Paul's last show, so I'm guessing he goes a bit wild tonight.
    But you can never really be sure with Paul. : )

  15. vJune 3, 2008 at 3:57 PM

    Craig: He'd better show Simon some love this time! ;) Too bad Paul didn't accept your offer to cover the rest of the tour!

    v, are the national playing red rocks as openers? if they are, check them out! their latest album is freaking brilliant.

  17. CraigJune 3, 2008 at 4:02 PM

    V - did you see where they're playing tonight? The COX Arena. : )
    Why didn't Cat go to this show? : )

  18. vJune 3, 2008 at 4:02 PM

    MonkeyButt: Yes, actually, they are! I really hope I will be able to catch their set, but the person I'm going with had something come up at the last minute, so we may get there a bit after the show is supposed to start. :( I hope I will get to see them, though!

  19. vJune 3, 2008 at 4:04 PM

    Craig: NOOOO!!! Hahahahhah! :D That certainly sets the tone for tonight's chat (as if the tone needed setting)...

    Cat must not have known the venue name, else she would have been there to jump Simon Gallup's choo-choo for sure!

  20. CraigJune 3, 2008 at 4:07 PM

    Monkey - you catch the REM/MM show already? How were they? Is REM doing any early stuff?

    They don't hit New Orleans until late Oct., playing the Voodoo Fest with NIN.

    he's playing with REM in rochester soon. he'll be fine then too.

    Yeah, that pic of the old line-up is annoying - but then, The Cure change line-ups as often as I change tampons on the first day of my period, so there ya go.

    Craig, actually I don´t think it is that much of a positive review. It is rather neutral I would say. More of a report than a proper review. It mentions that the crowd loved The Cure but it never really gets to state the writer's own opinion about the show. Maybe he liked it, maybe he didn´t.
