Thanks for all your comments and suggestions for a guitar riffs video of The Cure! There are so many to choose from and in the end I probably leaned a bit too much towards the earlier post-punk stuff (possibly due to the minimalist style of my videos), but there are a few late '80s/early '90s ones included also. Thanks for watching and have a great weekend!

I love how a majority of the riffs are from the Three Imaginary Boys/Boys Don’t Cry Era. Even though the Album is pretty much a black sheep in the Cure’s discography it contained so much energy and potential. It’s criminally underrated

Michael Dempsey has to be one of the most underrated bassists in history.

@puncturedbicycle7264 3 ай бұрын

@@Julio4870 the whole band was so tight even on their first album. Ironically Robert was the weakest link given he still hadn’t learn how to use and control his voice. His guitar skills are superb even early in their career

I wish Three Imaginary Boys got more of the respect it deserved. For all the albums The Cure ever made, I always keep coming back to that one because I really love the sounds on it. It's probably the most underrated album of 1979 (or the post-punk era in general).

I love how your focus was on their early songs, which is where I think many of their best riffs come from. You even nailed the flanging on the "Primary" riff like a boss! Sounds just like the record! The Cure had an outtake from the Three Imaginary Boys sessions called "Play with Me" which has a deliciously fun riff for a song that apparently wasn't considered good enough for the final album. Even their songs which didn't make the cut had nice riffs...

@bloxsy_ 3 ай бұрын

Hmm I don't know, it looked to me from the live versions like he was sliding the G chord up to the B playing some of the open strings. I could be wrong, it's hard to tell from the live videos as they're so dark.
