I want to go back in time to 1984 and tell Robert that not only will he still be playing in a group in 9 years, he will still be in the same group in 29 years... in 32 years... with essentially their 40th anniversary looming.

¡Ha! ¡Ha! Robert was speaking from the shortsightedness of relative youth. Truth is when you make timeless music, it is meant to last, and much of the Cure's music is timeless.

It is so wonderful to see the 40th Ann. Coming up after all these years. What a wonderful journey for Robert ,the Band, and us fans.

Hi, I just see this the first time. Robert says in the interview that he is feeling to get to the end. That was 1984 (I already listened to The Cure by then) and now I'm looking forward to see them again in November 2022. Robert, you were wrong which makes your fans very happy.

@judex3226 Жыл бұрын

Almost 40 years ago Robert Smith said he’d be quitting soon. We all say things when we are young that we meant at the time but realistically were never going to happen. I remember thinking I was old at 25, by the time I reached 40 I realised 25 was young and I thought 40 was old. Now I’m 51 I think 40 was young. Some things never change… So I’m very happy that Robert Smith never did quit.

He was so drugged out in 1984. His manager Chris Parry warned him about the danger - “Parry's second cautionary gesture was made after The Top album in 1984, when Smith's drink and drug problem ("everything but smack") was at its height. "That album was a struggle. Robert looked terrible, puffy-faced, eyes bleary, sores on his lips. He was always listless. I was worried that he was going to have a heart attack” He still looks gorgeous in this though…

Really love finding these interviews! I find their most interesting years from 1980 to about ‘85, so this was a nice treat. It just occurred to me that I’ve spent so much listening to The Cure and reading about the members, but haven’t really seen much of what their actual personalities are like off stage other than a vague idea in my head, just because their interviews are so few and far between. On a side-note, it’s pretty interesting to hear him say he say here he might stop music altogether here, he seems like his mind is made up. I guess he had a change of heart, at least partially.

He is from Crawley, from the posh (for Crawley) bit of Milton Mount. It is middle class London with a tiny bit of Sussex - my working class londoner parents thought they way I pronounce school (rhymes with shawl) and water (long a waarter). Robert lived round the corner from Gareth Southgate (who is 12 years younger). They are both cautious and considered, and use the weight of their ideas for power.

Yes, he first played with them in 1979 on the Join Hands tour (in which The Cure supported Siouxsie and the Banshees) after their drummer and guitarist had walked out, then later joined them as a proper member from late 1982 until April (I think) 1984.
