Roger O'Donnell's memories of Disintegration

_figurehead

First of all i have to 'say' for once more that this masterpiece which has got the name DiSiNTEGRATiON upon it is the best record ever released in this world (for me at least) & i think that it will stay like this FOREVER.
& then i'd like to say a big THANK YOU to Roger for sharing his memos from that particular period with all of us (Cure fans)
& a second thank to him for playin the keys to all of those wonderful music pieces (diamonds one to one from the first till the end, of the whole album).
I wish if only & the other members could have done something equal someday... (sharing their memories as well).
Cheers to all of you out there & keep listening the tunes from 'our' boys
from the '10.15 Saturday Night' till 'It Is Over'
p.s. : ouh i almost forgot & here is my F*** O** to everyone who is writing
all those **** words about Jason on You Tube,if you don't like then just listen something else or try to learn drums,who knows?Maybe Robert will chose you next time or maybe in another life?
Keep The FAiTH.

Steady on there figie.
There's clearly a Jason camp & a Boris camp (even an Andy Anderson camp )
Let's not drag it out here though (leave it on yoochoob). Disintegration (to many of us) is something seminal & I think you'd agree there right?

That was a great read. I liked the technical stuff he talked about, like the fact all the kick beats are just one sampled beat, that must've been painstaking work. Also liked the wee stories about the videos, glad im not the only one who thought the Lullaby vid was overtly sexual

Interesting aswell how he talks about the way the group works and where each personality sits. It breaks the mythology around a lot of it too.... well as far as we know. Good Schtuff.

Yes you are right Steve,excuse my lang. mate but you know those 'bastards' (bandmembers) means a lot for me, anyone for his own reasons & i can't read anymore some blokes out there writing & re-writing the same s*** it is so pfff...
Anyway.
Ouh & just for the records i'm on Boris camp.After all he was my fav. member.
But that doesn't mean that Jason isn't good at what he is doing & the way the band goes on from mid 90's till nowdays.You know.
Cheers!

EDIT : just to put the record straight : i mention it (YOU TUBE)
& not the conversation that we (users of the forum) doing here.
p.s. : dirty word?Huh!You made me laugh...
Who knows maybe i'm the EViL

Today I found the time to read through Roger's memories and I have to admit I was blown away.

I mean, since 1983 I think I read almost everything that was ever written about The Cure, but this is really super interesting. I never found such a detailed description of how The Cure really were, and I never had such a good feeling to really believe the words I was reading... If you know what I mean ?

The report brought back many of my own memories how I experienced The Cure from 1988 until 1990 myself, the highlight of course the release of the Disintegration album itself. And it offers very interesting perspectives on songs and many details we only knew in bits over the years.

I have never been that stupid type of Cure fans who were following the band everyhwere by car, ignoring all traffic rules , being totally crazy and wishing to know every single detail of the heroes (forgetting that they are human beings and need some space and air to breathe). And I met a LOT of those over the years .

But I would love to read more such reports, from all periods, all albums, all band constellations, just to deepen my picture of the music and our favorite band!

Thank you very much Roger!!

Cheers,
ceho
