New Lol interview in Mojo
Update: Here's a photo of the article. (Thanks Jean-Francois)
"The latest edition of UK music magazine Mojo (Queen on the cover) has a full page diary-style confessional by Lol Tolhurst. It's VERY candid and he speaks honestly and sincerely about his relationship with Robert and the problems that led to his dismissal from the band.
He says that when the band listened to the finished mix of "Disintegration" he'd been drinking, and said half of it sounded like The Cure and the other half he hated. After more drinks he then told the rest of the band that he hated all of it. Lol explains, what he actually meant was that he hated the fact that he hadn't been more involved in the making of the album.
There are some really touching comments throughout the article, and he even refers to his stupidity in taking the band to court. I stumbled across this purely by chance, as I was waiting for a train, reading the magazines at the station - a nice surprise." (Thanks Graham)

ReplyDeleteThat explains why I couldn't find it in either of the two editions of Uncut I managed to find then!
ReplyDeleteaww, that was a great bedtime read. the part that got me was in the beginning - when robert's mom had Lol watch out for Robert. so sweet. it must be very embarrasing to go through those horrid memories for him, and i wish nothing but good things for him
ReplyDeletei hope Lol does find Marc, it shouldn't be too hard! if youre out there.. cure people are looking for you
Thanks for sharing the article! I too enjoyed the part about Robert's mom asking Lol to look out for Robert! So sweet!!
ReplyDeletelovely, lovely Laurence. What a nice man. 8 words in life that are so woefully under-said.... "What I did was wrong, I am sorry."
ReplyDeleteGreat article! It pretty much summerizes some chapters on the Cure's Never Enough biography book. But great article! Whenever I think of Lol, I remember his Billy Idol incident. hehehe
ReplyDeleteThanks for the scan of the interview. Good read!
ReplyDeleteI really do think LOL is sorry for all the negative stuff that happened. I'm happy to see he's put it to rest & has moved on.
How interesting it'd be to see a picture of them as five year olds getting on to the bus.
