>>>The recording sessions, however, were far, far different from what the band had previously experienced, from the good (Robert Smith shared the meaning of his lyrics with the band for the first time, and the whole album was recorded live in-studio) to the bad, which Cure members Simon Gallup and Roger O'Donnell primarily attribute to Robinson's presence.
''It's different for each one of us. Robert and Ross got on very well,'' Gallup begins with decorum. ''I didn't get on with Ross. I personally found his input stifling. I think I can speak for a nice percentage of the band as well — we were sort of brought up in the way where you go into the studio and do your best performance and that's it.''
''I really enjoyed the group (aspect) of it, but I didn't enjoy working with Ross,'' O'Donnell adds. ''I think he was useful in some ways, but there were such cultural divides in approach that I found it difficult.''
''He'd come in and he'd start throwing things around,'' Gallup recalls with annoyance. ''He didn't like us when we played note perfect. He wanted more passion, so he'd actually come up, and if I was trying to play note perfect he'd slam his hands across the bass. More than once he nearly got the bass sideways in his mouth. You couldn't leave the studio and turn that tension off. It was a very traumatic time for some of us, and not one I'd like to repeat.''
''I just don't subscribe to a lot of the things Ross uses as his tools of the trade. All that psycho-babble stuff. I just think it's b.s., really,'' O'Donnell states flatly. ''We've been doing this for long enough, we don't need to be told who we are. We don't need to have people tell us we're The Cure. We know we are. And we can reach within ourselves and find motivation and emotion.''
''Personally I would like in the future for the group to go in without a producer and see what would happen if we were just left to our own devices. I think we've got enough creativity within us to experiment, and I think we could do the songs justice,'' Gallup says. ''At the end of it, they're our songs and we know how they should sound.''>>>
From the one who posted this :
>>I was wrong the other day...Simon is the heart and Roger is the soul. So it sounds like IF they do another album, either Ross will be gone, or Simon & Roger will be gone. Here's a crazy idea, instead of taking advice from Ross and Jordan Schur, how about listening to, oh I don't know, THE BAND??? Yeah, I'm just mad that the band seems to be taken for granted these days. It's so nice to finally hear them speaking out, and countering the Robert/Ross love fest. Thank you Simon & Roger!
THIS IS NOT GOOD.
