The Cure's Robert Smith's incredibly elaborate and custom guitar rig.

I like very much the Cure albums : Pornography, Faith and 17 seconds and also the 1st one (two versions).

In the old days he used a Bass VI ?

He actually got this looks after performing with Siouxsie.

Holy ****, just saw your post LOL.

I believe Smith used a Bass VI on Faith and Pornography. Definitely their best albums. Disintegration was a good come back album for them. Although I can’t stand Wild Mood Swings and everything after. Too poppy and weird.

Regarding Siouxsie: McGeoch was her best guitarist [emoji106]

I saw Siouxsie on the Hyaena tour, and was expecting Robert on guitar. But it was
John Valentine Carruthers, who was good. But I would have loved to have seen McGeoch.

I agree about the later “happy” Cure albums.

but more importantly goth chicks dont care about rigs. they want to mope and be hot and not be noticed (but actually want to be noticed, just not acknowledged unless its obliquely) and have awkward conversations about obscure theoretical bs

This is gold.

Robert Smith has been dead for 20 years but nobody told him....

He looks like a dead bloated corpse & it’s kind of disgusting....

I dig the Cure, but I was thinking the same thing. He really does look like the walking (playing) dead in that top pic. Yikes!

Who cares what Smith looks like these days.
