that looks like 1996 ish....WMS era

Guest		26-Jun-2008 15:27
Jilly how old is that pic? Robert looks younger in it.

Guest		13-Jun-2008 17:52
aka. milkgirl ok...after all these years...here's me kissing robert <3 http://www.flickr.com/photos/lushlulu/272055309/in/set-72157594332320836/

Guest		04-Jun-2008 19:51
Robert is my faivrote, but Porl does look hot in those ; "Hoochie Daddy Close!"

Catie		27-Mar-2008 05:10
Awwe I'm stuck in boring old America... yawn. It's a pretty funny story actually; everyone else in my family absolutely despises the cure. So when they get around to Virginia, I'll have to sneak out of my house, pop round my friend's place for some of those clove cigarettes he has, then hitchhike to the show! Makes my life sound pretty romantic...

Sugar Girl		26-Mar-2008 15:31
I´d so hoped to get to meet Robert and the Band in Vienna or Wembley :( so sad it didn´t work out.... Envy the people who had the chance to meet and talk to the Band! thumbsup

M.S		16-Mar-2008 21:41
Robert is the best man in the world.I die for him.my beautiful angel finally your attractive look to cause to be killed me.vaaaaaay you are my beautiful fat baba

bloodflower		05-Oct-2007 16:58
to the guy that was wondering why women find robert attractive with his lipstick and makeup: i think robert is just sexy and adorable no matter what he wears and how many pounds he has. he has such a lovely smile and sparkling eyes, he seems intelligent, he's so charming. of course I don't know him but if he's anything like in his interviews, then he's absoltely hot.

leila		19-Aug-2007 16:39
The cure is the best bands into the world and Robert is the best and the most darling singer_dear Rober ((sing aloud for people of the world...to sing aloud for the end of the wars in the world...to sing aloud for the end of the massacre(killing)in the world...sing aloud for start of universal lasting peace))...I am tired of seeing foul play in the world...dear Robert smith help me for my health...help for amelioration of human affairs..

Jolie		01-Jul-2007 02:50
I don't care what Robert smells like......good or bad....I'd LOVE LOVE LOVE it - on himmmmmmm!

sweetcheekslarry		11-Jun-2007 02:36
Who gives a crap what the man smells like as long as the music's good...?

Guest		24-Mar-2007 22:35
Goodness sakes! Robert must really PEW!!!!!!!

guest		03-Dec-2006 18:12
Of course he smells of beer, he's always drinking beer, I think that if I get near him I'll vomit.

Guest		29-Oct-2006 08:18
oh - this gallery makes me very happy about not being a celeb - what a miserable life...having to hug strangers and pretend to love it

Guest		09-May-2006 19:07
What does Robert smell like? I heard once that he smells like beer, so he must be kind of stinky! I'm guessing he probably smells clean, but I get the impression that he probably has a little man pew sent!

Chulia		16-Mar-2006 20:06
si do mos es el baneo amanos siesta unos dos tres si si! mi siquiste sinorita adios!

Guest		22-Feb-2006 09:02
DO THEY HAVE AFTER SHOWS? Just curious if there is an easier way to meet them then just by chance.

gise		11-Dec-2005 04:13
me muerooo si lo llego a ver a robert alguna vezzz jajaja (ojala)

vanillasmile		28-Oct-2005 01:46
"Robert, it was so nice meeting you!" Alarm clock goes off

cheery-O		21-Oct-2005 01:33
Some of these comments are hilarious! From what Robert smells like to rubbing honey all over the man's body and licking it off! I know stuff like this kinda brings strange pictures into everyone's minds, but I mean really, you know you like it, and you know they make things interesting!

cheery-O		18-Oct-2005 22:17
If I got the chance to like, barely touch Robert Smith or any of the other members, I wouldn't EVER wash my hands again! :D

someone		11-Oct-2005 03:12
if i had a "close encounter" with any member of the cure, i think i would POP!

GLonzon		02-Oct-2005 15:13
Simon looks good whether he smiles or not...

Guest		02-Oct-2005 15:09
I think each bandmember has their moments in pictures if they choose to smile or not. Simon looks fine to me in most of his pics w/ fans although I like it when he smiles... makes him even more handsome than he is!

Grace		30-Sep-2005 19:57
I'm curious about the cross Simon is wearing these days--it appears to be a symetrical one that could be Celtic, doesn't look like the asymetrical Christian cross. After all he did give his son Eden a name that I believe is either Celtic or Saxon... That said I agree he doesn't look too thrilled to meet people often. He's been looking almost a little angry on stage at least since the Bloodflowers tour in 2000. Granted some people just look a bit tense or sad as they get older; I hope nothing in his personal life is bothering him as that look could indicate that...

100yrs		09-Sep-2005 16:35
MP TEE I think you will find in the case of the Cure and expectations, you may be wrong... They aren't always incredibly accessible (esp now that Perry and Roger are gone from the band), but in each of my times getting together with the band they have been VERY hospitable and friendly, and VERY down to earth. Even ROBERT, who is always mobbed by people, once you do get his attention or ear he converses with you and "seems" very much interested. He never seemed hurried or looking away, he seemed genuinely interested in meeting people and talking, making eye contact the whole way and talking as a friend, not an idol. Jason is quite shy, but pleasant, and Simon is actually a very fun guy to be around from what I have seen. Intimidating at first, yes, but once you get the chance to meet them they are fantastic, and the intimidation disappears immediately!

MPTEE		01-Sep-2005 16:23
he doesnt look to happy in most of these does he(robert that is) he looks bloody miles away. I totally agree with nerd mad i almost met him i went to shake his hand but lost it at the last moment and walked away. I really dont want to meet them, I think most of us have an image of what they are going to be like and lets face it in life most things arent what they seem on the surface so why burst the bubble?

GL		27-Aug-2005 05:05
"Lipstick & razor stubble is what I saw" said my 10 year niece when we met him last year around this time during the Curiosa Fest.

nerd mad ghoul		27-Aug-2005 03:15
concerning meeting the band... i got ten feet from herr smith about ten years ago and it scared the hell outta me. he was so imposing, like an inner force made him larger then his name, fame and physical frame. i backed off and walked away.... and the cure are my fav band, hands down. so all this talk about what he smells like and how mary is so lucky is very odd to hear concidering my experience. anyone have a similat story or am i the only cure fan that has done this??? :>P

tcea		26-Aug-2005 01:05
"what happened to Bitoy? His brain looks the same as when he were 1 year old and i don't say a word about it. Porl Thompson."

Guest		25-Aug-2005 16:11
Porl rocks...I am very glad he's back and will stay to record the album, although Perry was very kind with fans and has made his contribution to The Cure....I do also think Porl still has that spark in his eyes...and of course, he is one of the best guitarist ever (no offense to Perry or Robert)...

Bitoy		25-Aug-2005 10:21
what happened to porl thompson? he lost his hair. he doesn't look the way he was.

Guest		21-Aug-2005 03:05
I'm envying~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~`

Janko		19-Aug-2005 22:49
Funny how Robert, Jason And Simon always look like they'd rather be somewhere else... But then - Roger and Perry look really happy to see every single fan they meet. So there you go. Who gets sacked?

Kappie		24-Apr-2005 18:46
Hey, how do you stalkers all get up so close to take photos and meet the band? Do you just follow em all around all day?

Jemmeh		03-Mar-2005 00:50

Guest		18-Jan-2005 05:33
to informed: i understand exactly what you are saying, being a job is a job... and not in anyway would i shun the fact of someone doing their job... but like for instance... i don.t know if my experince was a flaw or not, but i was under the impression that his "bodyguard" at the time, with roger, was taking a picture of us. when later i found there to be no picture on my digital camera, it created questions. and all in all, it just made me realize that sometimes things aren.t what you see them as... if it was a mistake, because i don.t even know how to use my camera, or not, it was a discouraging experince. i personally, like so many get so disillusioned to the fact that if you do come across a bandmate of your favorite band, if music is what keeps you going... you don.t think twice about a bad experince, because you are just so excited... perhaps thats naive... i will never not like the cure. actually, i value their music more... but experinces like that can lead to someone just being a little less ethusiastic about the people or the buissness behind the music... :0 thankyou for taking the time to express yourself in regards to the opnions about bodyguards and all... cheeers!

informed		22-Dec-2004 02:07
the cure's security guy - "big brian" adsett for years, then an unfortunate incident in california which probably prohibits him from doing security in the US ever again - since the departure of darrell ives (starting with the bloodflowers promo shows... i saw him in LA and was all, "whoa. darrell ives is working for the cure. detroit rock city!" - who went to depeche mode right after the dream tour, then did one more supercross for clear channel, then retired from security for personal reasons, or so i've been told) has been michael oertel, whom darrell took out on dm's european exciter tour as venue security director (the guy who does the briefings with local security every day, usually ends up in the barricade). michael has been with the band since the trilogy show run. he does, in fact (being german) have an accent. he is not, in fact, an asshole. he's a professional personal and venue security director (some people call them "bodyguards". michael does much more than that.) when your principal (the person you are guarding) is idolized by so many (a lot of cure fans get WAY too up close and personal with robert, and robert usually is drunk enough that he won't tell them to go away, much less be able to defend himself if something bad were to happen - not meant as an insult to him... he's just not the right guy to defend himself), you tend to compensate by giving off a "stay away from him" vibe. michael is a wonderful person and a great security guy. his job is to keep the band (but more specifically robert) safe. that's why you'll get the cold shoulder from him. it's nothing personal. it does a lot to keep robert out of situations that he shouldn't be in.

Guest		08-Dec-2004 23:09
hi everyone, i was at that meet and geat and it was so cool.i was the young kid in the white shirt. i just wanted to brag to everyone and tell you how ausome it was!!!

Guest		04-Dec-2004 20:30
I just want to say that Robert, Simon and Jason very attractive guys, but I love especially Robert for some reason I just can't explain!!!

Cure fandom thingy		04-Dec-2004 02:03
OMG robert looks demented or just scary in that pic with all his fans around him!!!!!

Luv		03-Dec-2004 23:28
Robert just looks so beautiful when his hair is in his face like that....I just wnat to hold him, and never let him go... ^_^

Guest		03-Dec-2004 17:56
I LOVE YOU

Guest		03-Dec-2004 17:52
I Think The Cure is the better group in this world... I would like see a concert of them in Italy but... They're my oxygen!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Guest		03-Dec-2004 16:35
hi, i think cure is great, but i wish they came to argentina next year,,, we are always left apart. besides from that, i haven't got much to say that cure is my favourite and that they should come to the inignificant countries of south america. kisses ;D

Guest		23-Nov-2004 22:20
to the guest that said "stupid waste of time and space" can go fuck a dog!!

Guest		20-Nov-2004 13:53
Carmine, ma come fai ad esserci sempre? Cominci ad essere un mito :-)

Guest		20-Nov-2004 04:24
funny pictures

Riske		20-Nov-2004 04:02

Guest		20-Nov-2004 02:18
stupid waste of time and space

GLonzon		05-Oct-2004 01:09
Oh darn . . . it was alot of fun tho!

Guest		04-Oct-2004 22:21
Don't think any of the shows were taped. Cameras were there to put the show on the big screens that were on each side of the stage.

Gracie L.		03-Oct-2004 15:09
Craig or does anyone else know if any of the Curiosa shows in the States were being taped? I thought I saw a camera crew the Chula (San Diego) show @ Cures Amphitheater.

Grace		02-Oct-2004 23:16
Roger & Perry getting a massage? More like who got shagged by whom? And did they smell of aftershave or armpits? Good or no? Now THOSE are the burning questions now that the tour is over... (ok fans, only joking it's none of our businesss. But while I can understand having fantasies over music or film stars I still can't see acting on them. I guess I'm too shy or boring.)

RONALD GAMALINDO		01-Oct-2004 05:02
HELLO GUYS, WALA AKONG BAYAG!!

Guest		15-Sep-2004 00:58
to mary----- i don.t have , and know of people having pictures of robert and perry getting massages, but i did get one today, and heck, if i knew you wanted a picture... *bangs head...

Mary		14-Sep-2004 02:23
Yes Robert, it would be nice to see those photos of the Cure. Any photos of Robert and Perry getting a massage? :oP

Dugan		14-Sep-2004 02:12
Yeah, concerts are really awesome, everyone is just so nice, i met a guy named Doug at the Carson one. He was a really cool guy, i wish i can meet up with him again, and a lot of cool ladies too. Everyone is just really nice as well as the band members. I was upset, in Chula Vista i was backstage after and i left around 1:30-2:00, i forget, but i see this picture of where i was sitting, and theres Robert Smith. I saw Roger and Perry was getting a mausage.. jason met us but no pictures taken, i have like 40 pictures of The Cure if you guys want me to post them on here? and like 40 more of Interpol and Mogwai. If anyone likes growing bands, check out mine... we play in Orange County area at a bar called Hogue Barmichaels. People say we sound like The Cure and Smashing Pumpkins, weird.. but its Oct. 2nd and it starts at 7:00pm, e-mail me if you want to go... robertdugan@cox.net

Mark		13-Sep-2004 14:04
I don't know why people get worked up over nothing.

Fleurdumal		11-Sep-2004 16:01
The Cure ain't gonna end. They'll go on and on and on, endlessly perpetually eternally. The Cure wouldn't know HOW to end. Right, Robert? ;-)

Yvonne Bondanza		11-Sep-2004 07:47
Hol...don't give in to assumptions. Hope for the best and prepare for the worst!

Hol		10-Sep-2004 22:09
the Cure are through. tour losses, bandmembers leaving. i'm depressed cragi!!

Mary		09-Sep-2004 21:21
Yes Lynn, he hasn't come home yet and I'm wondering where he and boys took off to. He called me to tell me the tour was over and he'd be home soon. Hahaha!! I wish I was that Mrs. Smith. I'm curious to know if they'll be back in the UK around November time. I'm going there for Thanksgiving to be a tourist, go on a Harry Potter tour, and visit my in-laws. I'm hoping to run into one of the guys.

Guest		09-Sep-2004 18:40
Mary, have you lost Robert? ;-P

Fleur		09-Sep-2004 16:56
Snorkeling in Cancun

Mary		09-Sep-2004 04:05
Does anyone know what the guys are doing now? Are they back in the UK?

Guest		08-Sep-2004 20:22
ha. thanks Lynn for clarifying. i couldn't figure out what he meant at first ;)

Guest		08-Sep-2004 18:54
Okay, Rufus, you're on to us. All of us that got to meet the guys were really just standing next to cardboard cutouts. Darn...it only takes one observant person to ruin the whole scam! ;-P

Guest		08-Sep-2004 03:25
the acid getting to you rufus?

Rufus		07-Sep-2004 20:53
maybe its just me but most of these pictures look like cardboard cutouts like some cheesy hollywood tourist thing or something. Just look at the edges around cure members, and some of the backgrounds dont match, compared to the fans to get an idea, or its a really lame camera.

Fleurdumal		07-Sep-2004 19:18
Okay you morons, after reading all your Cure encounter stories, I was starting to feel a bit like a loser. Granted, I feel like a loser much of the time anyway, but that’s not the point. The point is, I am a bigger Cure fan than you could ever hope to be, and so it wasn’t fair that you were getting to meet him and I wasn’t. But now I have my own goofy “I met Robert Smith” story and even a picture to accompany. But there ain’t no way I’m posting that ugly picture of myself for the whole world to see, Yes, I’m vain. I’d never make it as a rock star, as I would veto all bad pictures of myself. But if you really want proof, you can e-mail me at Fleurdumal@earthlink.net. So yeah, I finally met him. He’s nice, blah blah blah. Actually, what really struck me was his sardonic wit. I like a bit of sacrasm in my rock stars. He graciously posed for pictures with us, even obliged with hugs when requested. No, I did not ask for a hug. I’m not the hugging type. Well, yes I am. But I don’t just go around asking for hugs from rock stars - even huggable ones. I did, however, ask him to sign my book - the one that he did not write. It’s a book of killer short stories by Fred Chappell, my former writing instructor. It was the book I read on the plane on the way over to the California shows, so now, with Robert’s autograph, it has even more symbolic weight. Or maybe less, considering your opinion of Robert Smith. What I can’t decipher though, is what he wrote before his actual signature. It either says “much love” or “motherf*cker.” I’m guessing the latter, since I had presumptuously told him he should be playing more Bloodflowers material on the Curiosa tour. BF is one of the Cure’s best albums, and if you disagree, you suck. It was extremely cool to meet Robert Smith. I wish I’d remembered to telll him how much I adored the new album, and to thank him for the absolute euphoria his music has given me over the years. I also wish that I’d remembered to give him the brilliant essay I’ve written linking the Cure to alll my favorite visual and literary artists. I can’t believe I forgot to do that. But then, I’m a loser, so there you have it.

Fleurdumal		04-Sep-2004 19:53
Happy belated, Perry! You sexy guitar god, you. Keep up the excellent fretwork, or whatever the hell it's called... ;-)

Guest		03-Sep-2004 17:02
happy birthday perry!!!! yeah!!! yes, he is.

ROBSIMON		03-Sep-2004 17:01
HAPPY BIRTHDAY MY DEAR PERRY!! 44 YEARS OLD?

Gracie		03-Sep-2004 13:00
Happy, happy birthday Perry! Love you always!

Fleurdumal		03-Sep-2004 03:11
One does not question Robert's beauty. One basks in it. But if you insist: the eyes, the hair, the smile, the nose, the lips, the music, the lyrics, the passion, the boyishness, the playfulness, the intensity, the enigma, the voice, the hands, the intelligence, the wedding ring, the necklaces, the bracelets, the make-up, the tongue, the black shirts, the baggy cargo pants, the monster boots, the chest, the teeth, the arms, the silliness, the seriousness, the goofiness, the shyness, the creativity, the weirdness, the eyes.

Guest		03-Sep-2004 01:52
Wow, Andrew...where to begin? The eyes. I mean they can stop you dead in your tracks. Mesmerizing. With or without makeup. Regarding the makeup, it's just damn sexy. The fact that he wears it says something about his personality. He's gonna' do whatever he wants to do. And THAT is sexy. Then his shy coyness. It's so appealing. Then you throw the unmeasurable talent in there and you've got the ingredients for the sexiest, most delicious man on the planet. And yes, he's ALWAYS been attractive.

Andrew J.		02-Sep-2004 22:22
Ok so you ladies have to fill me in here! What is is that you find attractive about Robert? He looks like a regular looking guy with a ton of freakish make up on. Nothing more than that. I mean he's not bad but you ladies are so ga-ga over him, it makes me wonder if I'm not missing something. Did ladies always find him attractive. I am a fan for about 5 years so it's all news to me. I always thought he looked like a ghost personally. A ghost with too much make up. I mean I love his music but I don't quite understand the sexual attraction. It makes me paranoid that I need to be wearing make up or something to get the ladies. Just wondering.

Guest		02-Sep-2004 14:07
There was a different guy in charge of guarding Robert's body at my meet & greet. He had an accent of some sort and was absolutely not taking any shit from anyone.

Fleur		02-Sep-2004 03:30
Hey Lynn (notice it's just us lately?) - You know who I find really cute, actually? Robert's bodyguard, in a quarterback football player kinda way! He has a great smile. No, he's not Robert, but still...very cute man! Seemingly sweet, too. ;-)

Guest		01-Sep-2004 21:03
I mean, seriously, Mogwai kicked ass performing, but when visually compared to the dreamboats in The Cure, the ain't nothin' to look at!

Fleur		01-Sep-2004 19:36
Okay, I'll take one Robert to go please. ;)

Guest		01-Sep-2004 19:09
Fleur! That's blaspheme! ;-P

Fleurdustripmall		01-Sep-2004 17:55
Lynn: I sent the e-mail. :-) Listen, ya'll can have your Roberts and Perrys and Simons. Personally, I'm diggin' the dudes in Mogwai. They look like roadies. I like their anti-image. Plus, they're all kinda cute. And their music ROCKS! The best thing about Curiosa besides the Cure. Tx Robert for introducing me to this amaaaaaaaaaazing band!

Guest		01-Sep-2004 16:04
Fleur - I'm waiting...make with the email, my friend! :-)

Gracie		01-Sep-2004 14:13
Forever Perry - I love him!

ROBSIMON		01-Sep-2004 07:54
simon for me is the sweetest thing in my world...i love him!

Fleurdumal		01-Sep-2004 00:18
Lynn!! My e-mail is not freakin' working, so I will have to e-mail you from my work tomorrow! I have a story to relate...I will post it here soon, but I wanted to tell you first!

Gracie		31-Aug-2004 23:57
Perry's is the most sweetest thing in my world . . .

Guest		31-Aug-2004 18:29
YAY! Fleur's back!

Fleurdumal		31-Aug-2004 18:22
I've been to 30,000 Cure concerts.

ROBSIMON		31-Aug-2004 18:01
lynn...sadly only one!(Naples june 20th)indeed fantastic!

Guest		31-Aug-2004 17:27
Robsimon - Sadly only four.

ROBSIMON		31-Aug-2004 15:38
lynn...how many cure concerts have you been to?

ROBSIMON		31-Aug-2004 15:16
this pics are wonderful! zoe and perry are soooo sweet...

Guest		31-Aug-2004 13:54
I've said it before and I'll say it again...Perry is highly underrated. He's an absolute doll and such a sweetheart. Anyone else noticing that the guys have all seemed to loosen up a bit as the tour has gone on? They were all (with the exception of Jason) pretty reserved in the earlier pics but have seemed to realize that we Americans don't bite. ;-P

Guest		31-Aug-2004 12:53
these pix w/ perry drawing the book for the little girl are priceless! he is so adorable :)

Guest		29-Aug-2004 09:04
Yes! I brought my digicam and was really close in the pit and got a few clips and pics! Robert was so adorable with his dancing! Some people had VIP passes -- wonder how they got that? Sniff But I'm happy just to be within a few feet from Robert, however short that was.

Yvonne Bondanza		28-Aug-2004 16:49
Jilly, It depends on what the venue allows. We were allowed to bring in disposables. As a matter of fact, they were also selling disposables there. But, I managed to sneak in my digital camera and my digital voice recorder. Hope you can too!

Guest		28-Aug-2004 09:44
So I guess I can bring my digicam to SBC??!!

Fleurdumal		28-Aug-2004 04:18
Well the Atlanta pix are nothing to sneeze at. Unless you like sneezing at photos. They're just your garden-variety concert pix. However, when I meet Robert and put my arms around him, I will post many yummy pix for you to drool over.

Guest		28-Aug-2004 03:38
Okay, Fleur - let's get crackin' with those photos. Stop holdin' out on us!

Fleurlicious		28-Aug-2004 02:56
Ah, I thought you were going to Cali. Too bad. It would have been fun. I've already been to FOUR shows, as I am a Cure Geek: Atlanta (where I live), Nashville, Tampa, and Dallas. Two more in Cali and that's that. I wish the Cure would tour endlessly so I can just go to shows every weekend. How much more exciting would life be? Ah well...the dream always ends, he said. Anyhow, I hope I can get some yummy Robert pictures up here, with my arms around him (in the morning I cry). But realistically, I'll probably just get some shots of him from the pit. I actually have loads of Atlanta pix but they're on my boyfriend's computer, and I can't seem to transfer them here. It's all complicated as I am a big technophobe. I'll let you know how the shows go, k Lynn? Take care! :-)

Guest		28-Aug-2004 02:21
Fleur - Now it's my turn to be jealous! I live on the East Coast and saw my three shows in NY, NJ & Boston. So now I have to live vicariously through all the other Cure fans and COF for the rest of the tour. It's killing me knowing they're still in the states and I'm not seeing them! Can we expect to see YOUR pics on COF soon?!

milkgirl		28-Aug-2004 02:06
Yvonne you are so lucky!!!! I'm so jealous! Isn't Robert so wonderfully pretty?

Fleurdumal		28-Aug-2004 01:40
YES Lynn! I will be in SF tomorrow and Sacramento on Sunday. I will be in the pit. I will wear a Miro t-shirt (white with a black red and blue alien looking dude on it). Will you be in the pit?? Let's hook up!! :-) (you can e-mail me at Fleurdumal@earthlink.net, too - hopefully I'll have time to check it before I leave)

Guest		28-Aug-2004 00:21
Fleur - will you make any of the CA shows?

Poppie		27-Aug-2004 20:38
Great website and I love all the pics.

Yvonne Bondanza		27-Aug-2004 16:36
This unbelievable experience is now documented and you can read it on the pic that has the girls, me and Tim in it. I just can't explain what I feel like right now.

Fleur		27-Aug-2004 12:25
I think it's great that so many people get to meet them and hang out with them like that. I wish I could be so lucky in California, but if not, life will go on, and I'm just truly happy for everyone. Actually, I'm miserable and I hate you all. :-)

Guest		27-Aug-2004 11:41
PLEASE YVONNE!!!! Share your story- how wonderful for you and those darling girls!!! How did you manage to get two hours!! wow- the couple of times I met them backstage you were lucky to get 5 minutes, which was still terrific- but two hours???!! Please tell!

Guest		27-Aug-2004 05:25
Hi this is milkgirl. I'm sorry but I'm not ready to share my pic yet...It's just my shy kiss on Robert's cheek and him smiling. I was very lucky to have won backstage passes from an online contest, this was in CA. When I flew to NYC to see them again I've waited for them in the rain and gave them our pictures. They put me on the list and I went backstage at Spy Club to hang out with them the next night! That was an awesome summer. ------How do others get to meet them? Who are all these people taking pictures?

Fleurdumal		26-Aug-2004 21:46
Okay, is it me or is Robert laying on the under-eyeshadow even THICKER? Pretty soon it will cover his whole face....and it will be Robert Smith in BLACKFACE. I still like it, though. :-)

Amanda		26-Aug-2004 19:54
thats funny Fleur :)

Fleur		25-Aug-2004 22:18
I think he should say "Hello, I'm Johnny Cash."

Rosie		25-Aug-2004 21:40
I can totally picture Robert saying that "Hi I'm Robert...." because you're so right. He IS humble. Not stuck on himself at all. I think that shy quality about him is unbelievably charming. I heard he's very gracious and approachable. You two are lucky you met him. Chorky and Lynn.

Guest		25-Aug-2004 12:43
The best of all was when I introduced myself and my boyfriend to Robert and he shyly said “Hello, I’m Robert.” I couldn't help but laugh and say "I know who YOU are!" That is too cute :) Awww.

Chorky		24-Aug-2004 21:48
and LYNN you're right. Robert is very humble.

Chorky		24-Aug-2004 21:47
I met Robert Smith and the guys once too. It was in a situation where there was TIME. I was very lucky. Robert was very sweet and gracious. Had a sexy shy quality about him and I really enjoyed my evening meeting with them! Awesome...the cure are one of my fave bands. Yes I am definitely a Cure Maddd Girl.

Guest		24-Aug-2004 15:50
Regarding some of the postings relating to meeting the band, I actually did have the immense pleasure prior to the show in Camden. I don't profess to "know" any of them or what they would think about anything. My time with each of them was brief because there were about ten other fans that were also waiting. All I can say is that ALL of them were incredibly nice to me, friendly, polite and more than happy to sign autographs and take pictures. The best of all was when I introduced myself and my boyfriend to Robert and he shyly said “Hello, I’m Robert.” I couldn't help but laugh and say "I know who YOU are!" at which point he laughed as well. That is something I’ll never forget. How can you be Robert Smith and be that humble as to assume someone (especially at a meet & greet) wouldn’t know EXACTLY who you are! But he is…and as a friend of mine pointed out…bands that have been around for this long are usually nice to their fans. They get it. That’s one of the reasons they induce so much insanity and loyalty from all of us.

Channyn		23-Aug-2004 03:59
What I'm doing here is sharing my feelings and that's all. I'm not trying to censor anyone or encourage anyone to feel or think a certain way. I despise censorship. It's quite smothering and isn't right to determine what is right and what is wrong. But I'm just sharing my thoughts about things and I'm always looking forward to knowing what other people think too, especially if they think differently. Makes it a hell of a lot more interesting. :) Anyway, different subject: is it just me or is Roger wearing eyeliner again? I don't remember ever seeing him wear any after Disintegration. Maybe he did and I just didn't notice till now, but I think it rocks. And Robert's just gone crazy with all the makeup, which rocks even more. :)

Candy		22-Aug-2004 21:59
MILKGIRL MILKGIRL MILKGIRL...post your photo or the link to it.....of You kissing Robert! Please? and to the posters who feel the more sexual fantasy type posts are "immature" you're wrong. Theres nothing immature about being sexual or sexy or desiring someone. Lighten up...shessh. now back to milkgirl...post a link to your photo!!!

Fleur		22-Aug-2004 04:25
All of this is so absurd. Everyone deals with their fandom differently. Some people act like teens or are teens, others are more mature. Who cares as long as it is musical talent that is ultimately appreciated? I doubt people go see the Cure just because they are cute. They see them because they like their music. And often the appreciation for their music bleeds over into a physical attraction. BIG DEAL. The comments here have been racy but mostly contained. People like Robert's looks. So do I. But it's their damn music I appreciate first. I am obsessed with Cure music. But of course, I don't think people should get out of hand with their comments. However, I don't think they should be censored either. I think Robert would actually appreciate these comments. But then, who knows? He might not. He might wish we all went away. Either way, it's out of his control. SO DEAL WITH IT.

Channyn		22-Aug-2004 03:31
That was me Channyn commenting there. Forgot to put my name on it. You guys rule.

Guest		22-Aug-2004 03:27
Luvcat, milkgirl, Grace, you guys are awesome. I'm glad there are other Cure fans who feel the same way. I've met Cure fans (mostly younger fans) who are just obsessed with meeting them and are really loud and giggly and scream their brains out when they see them in concert, and I just can't relate to that at all. Even though I'm only 18, I've been a fan of theirs for a good seven or eight years, and whenever I've seen them live or just listened to their music or talked about them, I'm quiet and focused. I'm usually completely silent at their concerts. It's the best way to absorb the music, I think. And I know if I met them I'd probably clam up or get flustered too, and I wouldn't want that. I'd just love to have a discussion full of depth and meaning with them, and I too think it would be cool to have a meal with them. I think the best conversations often come at the dinner table. :) But I'm fairly sure that if given the chance, I would compliment them in how they have grown into wonderful human beings and how fortunate I feel to know that I've watched them grow and change. by the way, those houston pictures are great. simon's hat is cooool.

Grace		22-Aug-2004 01:36
Glad to see Chyanne's posts. I guess cause I'm older and I never was a screaming teen I too wouldn't mind meeting the Cure but NOT in a crowded room full-of-fans setting. Sitting in on an interview or a meal with mutual friends/aquaintences (and possibly also their wives /significant others present) so we could have a REAL conversation. I for one would like to talk politics as Robert has spoken out about terrorism, the band has played many beneifits for orgs I support, things like that. Ah I'll just have to keep dreaming... That said I'm curious way way back the other Grace who identified as being Simon's relative wrote she didn't like the pictures...I don't see any that could look shocking to someone's family. We're talking about the Cure smiling with fans, not some old sleazebags like KISS pawing the groupies. Maybe Simon or someone else in the band did that sort of thing back when they were younger (let's be honest, lots of people in the entertainment industry do indulge when they are young); the Cure certainly don't seem to be doing it now!

Sharon		21-Aug-2004 20:49
Milkgirl, PLEASE send me that pic!!

sleepingmarblegirl		21-Aug-2004 14:47
Lucky people. I have gone to five shows. Two during Dream and three during curiosa. I have yet to meet the band. This would be a dream come true for me if it ever happens. Maybe next time.

milkgirl		21-Aug-2004 06:05
Channyn ITA. When I had the chance of meeting the band I was so much in awe that I couldn't think of what to say to them. I was able to talk some to everyone but Robert! I was all flustered and can only gather the courage to have someone take a picture of us.

milkgirl		21-Aug-2004 06:00
GAWD!!!! I wish I can go backstage again!!!! At least I have the picture of me and Robert kissing -- oh okay, ME kissing him!!! This is TEN years ago!! :( I'm all psyched up to see THE CURE next Saturday!!!!!!!!!!!!

Maray		20-Aug-2004 19:34
why are posts being deleted in here???? that sucks!

Luvcat		20-Aug-2004 16:13
I totally agree. I have been given the opportunity to meet them at the Phoenix show. But, I have been thinking for months about what one thing I want to say to Robert. (Since I won't have a lot of time to say what I want.) And, I can't come up with anything. This kind of shit keeps me up at night! But, I have been told by my concert promoter friend to talk to him about other things than The Cure. Because he is a husband, an uncle, a son, and all those other hats before he is the lead singer of The Cure. So, maybe I can ask what he and Mary did for their anniversary. Here I go again....I have been stuck in this question for months now! Aarrgghh!

Channyn		20-Aug-2004 05:53
I've just been thinking about something, and I just am curious to know if any of my fellow Cure fans feel the same way. I've come to the conclusion that if I was offered the chance to meet the guys and have my picture taken with them, I don't think I would accept. I would, however, prefer a meeting scenario with an interview of some kind, even though that's even less likely to happen than just meeting them. I don't know. Maybe I'm just not caught up or obsessed with the idea of meeting them. I guess I just don't need to talk to them to feel the effect they've had on my life, the guidance they've brought me. But I would be interested in hearing what they have to say in a serious conversation. But that's just me. Anyone else feel that way too? I still like looking at these pictures of them with fans. It kicks ass that they take time out to appreciate their fans. Not many bands do that. Roger and Simon seem especially cool and approachable. :)

gwyneth		18-Aug-2004 21:52
going through withdrawl.....haha...everyone in the band is very friendly, down to earth...honest, and very 'normal' (thats for you robert..haha) in otherwords...no 'rock star' attitude....which i wouldn't expect anyhow. they talk to everyone, and happily sign autographs and take pics....and still a bit thrown by the fans that are a little crazy...(hey i'd be too)....

Angel		18-Aug-2004 12:22
Hi Craig, it is very nice to hear that... someone said Simon was not that nice to his fans... but I, somehow, never believed it. You're very lucky to have been able to talk to him! Thanks, Angel

Gracie		18-Aug-2004 00:05
Craig - anymore new pictures for Close Encounters? I like them - thank you for sharing.

Craig Parker		17-Aug-2004 16:09
Simon is incredibly nice. Always takes the time to talk with fans, take photos, sign things, etc.

Angel		17-Aug-2004 13:42
Great photos! I am and have always been in love with Simon... he looks gorgeous and I love the way he moves on stage... But I've always heard he doesn't like to hang out with fans much... I've only met the Cure once, but there was not time to have a chat... they were leaving and surrounded by security... I would like to know if Simon has been nice to you guys? Oh, dear, I love him! thanks Angel

Holly		17-Aug-2004 02:40
TamTam when did you hang out with the band? What were they like? Did they talk about their crazy female fans.

Hol		16-Aug-2004 04:08
robert should stop wearing make up when he pleases. why does age matter?

neg8ball		16-Aug-2004 03:12
As regards the makeup being darker, it's interesting... I remember him saying on the Edge 102 (Toronto station) interview pre-release of the album that MAC has supplied him with good lipstick that doesn't run, but he hasn't found a good eye makeup... then I see the new "panda" look and I actually think it may BE baseball black... it stays on through sweat, doesn't run or fade and looks the same at the end of a game/concert as it does going in. When I first saw it, I was pretty sure that's what it was, and to hear someone else say that's what it reminds them of is something of a clincher...

TamTam		15-Aug-2004 20:52
p.s. and they are all USED to, extremely use to all women and even girls desiring them...and wanting them. This isn't something new or embarrasing for them at all! So if this were my site, I'd let you all post away!!!!

TamTam2004		15-Aug-2004 20:50
I'm in love with Robert Smith. I got to meet him and the rest of the band once after a show. (Anything is possible if you're determined....not SCARY determined...but sweetly and nicely determined!).......I was invited to hang out with them for a heavenly short while. I must say, pictures show how gorgeous Robert is but when you meet him in person - its TEN fold! He's even MORE sexy handsome and gorgeous. Gracious, friendly and even a tad shy as well. Looking into his eyes made me melt all over. I totally understand why a girl would want to post things and do things that are delicious to Robert. I'm not at all offended by the sexier saucier hotter posts in here. And quite frankly, Robert would be flattered. He'd fall about laughing cuz he doesn't see himself quite like that.......but he'd be nothing but blushing and flattered - I KNOW, I've met him and hung out with the guy....and the band.

curefriend		15-Aug-2004 20:18
Well . . . Robert IS aging gracefully. He doesn't have a wrinkle on his lilly-white skin. And again . . . the dark eye make-up adds to his theatricality while performing on stage. It's cool how the shift of focus is from his wild lipstick of years ago to the alluring drama of the eyes now!

zazz		15-Aug-2004 12:47
these photos make me smile...cant help thinking how different bob is to everyone else...yet when he started he was just like evryone else...i think its about time he phased out the makeup ..hes looking a bit like my mad aunt or that uncle from the adams family...dont get me wrong i love him and his music but i think he should think about ageing gracefully.

OhMandy		14-Aug-2004 21:53
I met him once and the rest of the band. They were VERY sweet to me! Robert - you are Gorgeous. I wanna pinch your hiney baby!

Guest		13-Aug-2004 17:28
RobertsLipstick, I didn't get to meet The Cure either when I saw them either, so you aren't the only one. I know how you feel.

Holly		13-Aug-2004 04:46
Panda look. YES! That is what it is. And it's cuddly and sexy and so Robert. Viva Le Cure!

Me		13-Aug-2004 00:47
Oh, and I have a question: If Robert continues wearing as much make up as he currently is, how long do you think it will take for him to single-handedly exhaust the world's supply? ^_^ I give it a couple of weeks...

Me		13-Aug-2004 00:43
So. Time for my pointless points again: - Saying 'Robert Smith is NOT NOT NOT ugly', I consider on a par with saying 'The world is NOT NOT NOT flat'. That is, everyone (who is not a total eejit) knows it's true. - It amuses me to think of The Cure as a boyband ::giggles childishly whilst imagining the guys doing an N*Sync routine:: - I am of the strong believe that the eye make up is there purely for the sex-ay-ness. I do actually like the new 'panda' look. - Some of these post are great. (Sorry to buck the trend)

Fleurdumal		12-Aug-2004 04:54
I once met Ralph Fiennes, and that did me in for about a week. I could not even speak to him, while my boyfriend graciously snapped pictures. Ralph Fienne's eyes are too mesmerizing, which is why I could not speak. I feel the same way about Robert's eyes. Therefore, meeting him would be a fiasco.

RobertsLipStick		11-Aug-2004 22:33
Looking at these close encounter pictures makes me sad. i will sadly probably never meet robert smith ever. =[ ahh i love that man so much. Johanna Depp aka the cure queen

Jorjette		11-Aug-2004 21:17
holly - absolutely! LIFE is for living and loving and for expressing oneself. Its okay and perfectly normal to say we find someone sexy, handsome and gorgeous. Like we find Robert Smith. I feel so bad for others who are stuffed shirts....don't you? Glad your posting here! Finally someone fun!

Holly		11-Aug-2004 18:24
Great minds think alike Jorgette. Sorry if I spelled your name wrong.

Jorjette		09-Aug-2004 23:58
Holly - I was glad to see your post. Yep, THE CURE not only make great music.....but Robert Smith IS a sexy handsome guy (as our other poster has said so many times). In my opinion, as with yours, theres nothing at all wrong with that. I think the sexier posts are amusing, flattering and nothing but complimentary.........saucy or not. Take care.....nice to see you here Holly!!!

Holly		09-Aug-2004 21:53
Yeah. I agree. People forget that the Cure are a rock group. They are going to have women flirting. No big deal. Most people are just interested in the music anyway and the flirting is just a side effect. Its natural and I think people need to loosen up!!! Robert Smith was so cute in concert and the girls cant help but go a little crazy for him even if he is 45. There were young girls there who really liked him and even though I found that a little disturbing I understood beacause some singers just have charisma. I mean Mick Jagger is hella ugly but the girls love him and Robert smith is NOT NOT NOT ugly. SOrry for the long posting. Anyway I ADORE THE CURE!!

Jorjette		09-Aug-2004 20:01
Gosh, lighten up people! Who CARES if some of the fans find Robert incredibly sexy AND if they also appreciate his music too. Big deal. Why the stuffed shirt attitude on here? I'm not offended by any of the posts on here - I think the diversity of the posts makes the board funner and more interesting.

poster		09-Aug-2004 16:14
lots of michael oertel. i guess germans get good security work these days.

Holly		08-Aug-2004 20:04
lighten up people! they're just having fun!

nicole		08-Aug-2004 19:23
Channyn i definately agree with you. personly i think that comments like that give teen fans a bad reputation. im 16 and although i think robert and the rest of the band are extremely attractive i dont go on about sexual fantasies with them. (im also irratated over the idea that if you are 16 and a cure fan, everyone thinks that you are only a 'greatest hits' listener. my favorite song is the figurehead!)

Guest		08-Aug-2004 06:55
the cure is a boy band cos boy bands have cute guys in them

Channyn		08-Aug-2004 05:37
dude, what is up with these teeny girls commenting about robert like he's a sex toy? god, that makes me sick. as a female, i do think he's quite beautiful [all of the guys are, actually], but these people are going way too far. this is how girls treat guys in boy bands, which robert is farthest from being. the man's an artist, people. have some respect. oh yeah, saw the guys in cuyahoga falls. awesome show, they played like cockatoos and faith, never heard them play those before so that was rad. i think robert's makeup has become much more accented. i couldn't really see his eyes and i was pretty close to the stage. the stage setup was great too, good atmosphere. :)

Guest		08-Aug-2004 04:19
I mean the heavy eyeshadow under his eyes. to highlight his eyes more intensely. the blue stands out more. look at one of the photos from cuyahooga or somewhere, his eyes are glowing.

Guest		08-Aug-2004 04:18
I think the eyeliner is for stage effect and to highlight his eyes.

Curefriend		08-Aug-2004 01:43
Okay, . . . so I've had a few red wines tonight. I've read these comments for a few weeks now and finally have the nerve to write. Robert's make up (what little there is, really) is divine. It separates him from the masses. Do Cure Fans wish he'd look more like Jon Bon Jovi? Ugh! That's why we are alternative, people! C'mon, I live where fat people get the handicap ride-ons at Wal-Mart - not 'cause they're handicapped; but because they are just overweight. So, needless to say, I welcome the heavy eyeliner and a little escape from the everyday life. Since I saw the band members close up (God Bless you Andre' (in Tampa) and Roger (in Atlanta), I have intentionally deepened and darkened my own eye makeup. It has added the drama and intensity to everyday life that makes it all more fun. The Cure Rocks and I will love then forever . . .

Stephanie		07-Aug-2004 19:58
Actually, thinking about the below topic, maybe that is why Robert has been a little heavier than usual with the black eyeliner? For the same reason football players wear dark smudges under their eyes, the dark lines absorb the light that would normally bounce off of his fair skin, making the stage lights and the things he needs see a little more barable? I'm sure Robert would find my observation stupid, but I'll never meet him so I guess I shouldn't care.

Stephanie		07-Aug-2004 19:50
Kerrie: Thank you for switching the subject so elegantly! If Jason has blue eyes, like I do, most of the time you can't avoid the red eye because of how light reflects off of fair colored iris's. Dark colors absorb light where light colors reflect. I often get "demon eyes" if someone does not have the "red eye" feature on cameras. (Nerd Alert: I watched too much "3-2-1 Contact" as a kid)

kerrie		06-Aug-2004 23:09
is it just me or has anyone noticed Jason always has red eye on photos. Roger is the coolest he has style, personality and huge talent

I want him too		06-Aug-2004 21:23
what can you do but fantasize about robert? he's got it all as far as looks talent voice. hes damn sexy I tell you!!

Guest		06-Aug-2004 21:11
I found the posts about Robert's weight to be worse, however, I didn't like reading about people's sexual fantasies of RS either. I think it's best to ignore them.

Me		06-Aug-2004 20:57
Good god! I swear these posts get more and more disturbing by the day... o_0

Guest		06-Aug-2004 18:35
I also like the Robert and Mary story. I wouldn't post anything that either one of them would find offensive. A love like theirs is rare, especially in the industry.

Lily		06-Aug-2004 17:53
I am completly agreeing with lynn, it amazes me how much Robert loves Mary, They are true Highschool sweethearts. I would die for realtionship like theirs. Mary is extremly lucky to have a man like robert, and Robert is very lucky to have Mary. Love and Blue skys ~*Lily

Guest		06-Aug-2004 16:17
My thought is that one of the things I love most about Robert Smith is his undying love for Mary. I love their story. It's amazing that any couple can stay together as long as they have been together, but to do it in the atmosphere they've lived in for most of their lives just blows me away. While I feel Robert is one of the most beautiful creatures that has ever walked the planet, I have way to much respect for Mary and their relationship to let my comments be anything but respectful.

Guest		06-Aug-2004 15:28
I guess all the guys know who to go as for H-ween.

Guest		06-Aug-2004 15:02
I agree that the posts are in poor taste, but I don't think they should be deleted. If Robert's skin was that thin, he would not have stayed in entertainment business for 26 years.

Fleurdumal		05-Aug-2004 22:35
Don't delete the posts Craig. They aren't THAT bad, just a tad steamy.:-) But I enjoy reading them in a perverse kinda way. I just think people need to tone it down. There is a difference between calling him sexy and saying you want to spread honey all over his body. LOLLLLLLLLLL. But I agree with Stephanie freedom of speech should exist, as long as it's not completely - ahem - Pornographic. :-)

Stephanie Lee		05-Aug-2004 20:53
I'm not offended by anyone's posts. I think they're all pretty harmless. Harmless girly groupie type stuff. I wouldn't delete if it were my site. Freedom of speech factors in here and in my honest opinion, many of these posts, even the saucier ones, are innocent and in their own way, rather complimentary towards RS. Anyway, Love the Cure. They rock.

Stephanie Lee		05-Aug-2004 20:52

Craig Parker		05-Aug-2004 20:37
Yeah, I keep debating whether to start deleting stuff or not. I hate to do it, but it's getting close to crossing an imaginary line I've set up. I THINK and HOPE they're just having a bit of fun. But could you imagine if RS was a woman and all of the guys were posting comments like that? They would want to hang us from the nearest tree. : )

Walter		05-Aug-2004 19:41
Craig I think the girls have gone a little bit mad. I mean, Robert is a 45 year old man not some Backstreet Boy teen idol. I'm sure he's attractive to the ladies but is all this really necessary. Shouldn't these be deleted or something. It is demening to the Cure dont you think.

gwyneth		05-Aug-2004 19:19
i love seeing everyone having a good time on the tour. i wouldn't know where to begin on the comments below (ikes)....so, i'll keep it sweet...i'm glad that there is new music to listen too (thank you), i love to see creativity grow...and i can tell that everyone is having a good experience with curiosa (including the band) so..good luck to all...and may happiness follow you....

Fleurdumal		05-Aug-2004 19:10
OMFG! That's too much! Ummmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm I think Mary would be rather upset to read all this. I adore Robert like the next gal, but...ummmmmmm...we might want to tone it down a tad. Eeeeeek.

dori		05-Aug-2004 19:07
oh yeah.. i forgot.......Robert when i slowly spread honey and whipped cream all over your body...i'm gonna start with that SEXY chest of yours.

Guest		03-Aug-2004 16:16
There has been a ton of rain in this area in the past 2 weeks. I live in eastern PA about 45 minutes from Camden and we had over 15 inches of rain in the 14 days prior to the show. The most direct route from the Western suburbs of Philly to Camden (Schulkyll Expressway) was closed for hours prior to the show due to mudslides thus making the drive even longer. The meet and greet was immediately prior to them taking the stage. Once I left the meet and greet and got to my seat, the band started. It's almost like we raced to see who could get to their spots first!

Guest		03-Aug-2004 14:03
The meet & greet I was at was prior to the show.

Stephanie		03-Aug-2004 13:52
Was this meet and greet also a result that they couldn't really get to their hotel quickly? Word here in Western PA was that Camden that day/evening had torrential rain and major flooding...evactuations in some parts. Maybe they couldn't really get to the hotel immediately after so they hung out with fans hanging around???

Guest		03-Aug-2004 08:50
Hey MARK GREEN, did you and Robert talk about what a shiny black schecter guitar smells like?!?!?!? Just kidding. LOL ;)~

Guest		03-Aug-2004 04:18
why is robert being an arse to his fans lately

Guest		03-Aug-2004 01:46
doesn't matter he's so drooly anyway we all want a piece of his hot manly self

Guest		03-Aug-2004 01:45
is it me or is rob's makeup getting more and more intense. LOL.....

Guest		03-Aug-2004 01:37
I can't speak for anyone else but my meet & greet was set up through work.

Guest		03-Aug-2004 00:17
Hello everyone, great pictures. I was at the Camden show lastnight, and was one of the pathetic ones' that waiting for 4hours after the show in hope to get a picture, or a sentence out to Robert Smith and the band. At about 2:30 in the morning, a security guard came over and just closed the gates, and we had to leave. I'm not sure why that happened, we were all chatting with the other security members there for most of the night, none of which seemed slightly annoyed. Regardless, my question is this... what can one do to get backstage!?! I know it's the hot question now, but I was just amazed at the number of "fans" at the afterparty last night. I'm assuming the majority of people are there through radio contests, record labels etc.. If no one can help with this, can anyone tell us their stories of success from waiting around after the show. I'm going to the Mass. show on Saturday, I'm crossing my fingers.

Guest		02-Aug-2004 23:04
Could you Camden guys please share how you managed to meet the band? We asked around for meet and greet and info and no one had any. We tried to wait by the tour bus after the show, but an armed cop ordered to head in the opposite direction. Did you have special passes or were you just lucky? I want to know so I can meet The Cure next tour. Thanks.

Guest		02-Aug-2004 19:06
Dear ROBSIMON ~ You're right...I am indeed the luckiest girl in the world! (Well, maybe Mary is a little luckier than me.)

Mark Green		02-Aug-2004 18:25
I met Robert at the Nashville show...and sorry but I didnt take the opportunity to gather what he smelled like...lol. I'll leave it to the women to do the smelling. I did get to talk to him about his shiny black schecter guitar though.

kat		02-Aug-2004 15:59
OMG!!! HOW did you get to take those pics with them!??!?!? I WOULD LOVE TO MEET THE BAND in person at some point in my life before I die!!! I am just amazed at these pics!! Please let me know how you scored these photo-ops! OMG! The Camden show ROCKED! Can you tell how giddy I am still!?

Guest		02-Aug-2004 15:55
Holy crap! Okay I swear, this is the last post about smelling Robert. I don't know why I didn't realize it... But he DOES smell like Mexican sweet breads...but mixed in with laundry detergent. I didn't want to be sniffing on him like a dog so I only smelled him once. Great, now whenever I'm at my grandmothers house I'll be thinking about Robert Smith. Ha! and I call myself a Mexican.

yesnovember		02-Aug-2004 15:37
It's very entertaining to read these comments on what Robert smells like, I check here every day for new comments...I laugh my arse off! Okay, I too sometimes wonder what the good man smells like, but people HOLD YOURSELVES TOGETHER! for the love of the band! Good lord!...I dont blame you for wonering though ^_^ I once read he smells like vanilla, and hairspray.....ANYWHO keep it real people ~*Alisia

ROBSIMON		02-Aug-2004 09:51
i want to meet simon!!! lynn...you're the luckiest girl in the world!

Scarlet Ibis		02-Aug-2004 09:50
I've daydreamed about what Robert would smell like for YEARS. Thank you for answering that question. If I met Robert I would smell him and smell him and smell him. In fact, I'd ask him if I could smell him just so he wouldn't be confused about why I was sniffing. He'd probably say yes. He seems game for most anything like that. Of course, then I'd have to ask him if I could pinch his hiney... He'd probaby say no to that. Damn.

april boy regino		02-Aug-2004 03:21
hey i just wonder who is craig parker? pls tell me something about him.

Guest		01-Aug-2004 11:13
Ha Ha! That's cute that Robert has a clean, detergenty smell. I'm sure it's incredibly sexy. I would love to be able to nuzzle in his hair (of course that's along with a list of many other things I'd love to do with him).

fernie		01-Aug-2004 05:09
When we met the Cure in Los Angeles in 1997, Robert, per my sister, smelled like Downey and sweet mexican bread???

curemadgirl		01-Aug-2004 00:01
what does robert smell like????? in answer to that poster's question....ROBERT SMITH probably smells like sweet honey and hot melty SEX. Mmmmmm, he's so gorgeous and delicious.

Guest		31-Jul-2004 18:31
i am sure robert has more than one black shirt. as far as smell, who cares? it's his voice, his passion, his doll-faced cute self. but he probably smelled sweaty after the show. and who could complain about that?

abdhul hussein		31-Jul-2004 16:32
hi robert. i'm from iraq. i'm an avid fan of the cure. can you consider of having a concert here and play my favorite song "killing an arab"? i'll pay a million bucks just to watch your concert here.

Guest		31-Jul-2004 16:26
In terms of that questions "What does Robert smell like?"... When I figure out what it was he smelled like, I'll let you know. I'm still trying to figure that out myself, it isn't cologne though I know that much. Perhaps it was a mixture of laundry detergent and his own personal smell. Haha that sounded funny... None-the-less...he smelled goooooooooooooooood :)

bernie		31-Jul-2004 15:36
i hope robert has many of these shirts and not just one!! LOL!!

ROBSIMON		31-Jul-2004 10:56
i want to be nat!!! YOU'RE the luckiest girl!! congratulation!

Guest		31-Jul-2004 09:41
Okay, perhaps this is an odd question, but for those who have been lucky enough to meet The Robert, what does he smell like? I'll bet he's just dreamy. (this is mostly for the girls cos guys probably wouldn't notice such a thing as that) I saw them on Sunday in Tampa and all I could think when I left there was...Mary is the luckiest girl in the world!!!

Samantha		30-Jul-2004 15:41
Robert is looking weirdly sexy with the thick eyeliner. Odd effect.

Guest		27-Jul-2004 07:29
when did robert start going all mental with the eyeliner?

Mrs. Ross		23-Jul-2004 07:16
Dammit Robert is hot!

Annemarie		17-Jul-2004 21:47
Robert looks gorgeous as usual in all the photos. I wanna have your baby Robert!!!!!!!!!! I wanna spend a steamy hot pink weekend in bed with you baby! I LOVE YOU.

ROBSIMON		16-Jul-2004 11:57
Hello Faith71...anche io sono di Napoli e sono iscritta al forum del Neapolis... se dovessero tornare in italia, fatti vivo nel forum!

RobertSmithGirlx		06-Jul-2004 05:31
GREAT PIX!!!! I LOVE 'EM...

Traci		27-Jun-2004 05:55
How do these people meet them? Even with connections I had in radio I've never gotten to meet the one band I actually WANT to!

Craig Parker		25-Jun-2004 17:33
Why would it make him sick?

Grace McMillan		25-Jun-2004 15:04
i think those pictures of the cure should not be allowed to be put on there. my dad is simon gallups's cousin and if he sow those picture it would maske him sick?

toni		22-Jun-2004 22:08
the expression on Robert's face for some of those Naple's shots is priceless.

Stan		21-Jun-2004 23:19
Outstanding pictures....thanks to the photographers and Craig.
