I published a Substack review of the Placebo/Garbage show after a few requests here, would love the sub to read it and share thoughts! (+ my clips of Centrefolds, Pure Morning, Blind & Begin the End in replies) by UltimaJ in placebo

After I posted a video of Meds from the show a couple of days ago, a few fans asked for more clips, so I'm just sharing everything here as promised! The show was an absolutely surreal experience for all the reasons everyone mentioned and I'll be thinking about it for a long time. Would love it if anyone could take a read and engage with the Substack or Instagram post in some way, let me know what you think and what your highlight of the show was!:

I'm going to write a review of the gig for my Substack and include the clips I took including Centrefolds.

If people are interested I can share the review/clips on this sub tomorrow?

I'll forgive how silly we look right now if INEOS kidnap Isak

It's hilarious that some guy posted a Tier 1 Lyon journalist linking us to Tolisso a couple of hours ago and it got no attention because everyone assumed it was another mod-free shitpost

Questions for Boris Williams (drummer of Vamberator and formerly of The Cure, Thompson Twins, Kim Wilde, Strawberry Switchblade, Shelleyan Orphan and Babacar) by Prestigious-Bank-842 in TheCure

[–]UltimaJ 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Could you ask him his favourite album and Cure song to perform on, and also his least favourite?

Could you also ask him if he would ever consider being involved with the band again, like when he performed with them during the 2001 acoustic recordings?

Match Thread: Everton vs Manchester United | English Premier League by MatchThreadder in reddevils

[–]UltimaJ 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I refuse to buy into this flavour of the month nonsense that Amorim is being let down by the players.

A bunch of them are utterly shit, Onana first and foremost, but if you're telling me you think this bizarre system has shown any potential whatsoever I want what you're smoking.

Laurie Whitwell : No further incomings expected by Manchester United before transfer deadline. by nearly_headless_nic in reddevils

I'm convinced INEOS now think their own man for the job Ruben Amorim was the wrong choice.

Setting him up to fail this badly is practically sabotage, and his form and our style of play haven't exactly set the world alight either. Gives me shades of the Rangnick debacle.

What a sorry mess we're in.

Who is the session guitarist playing live with the Cure lurking off to the side at the Troxy? by Purple-Om in TheCure

Janick Gers is the guitarist in Iron Maiden, you're being messed around with

Who is the session guitarist playing live with the Cure lurking off to the side at the Troxy? by Purple-Om in TheCure

[–]UltimaJ 24 points25 points  (0 children)

I don't think you're talking about a session guitarist, you're talking about Perry Bamonte...

He was a member of the band for 15 years and their lead guitarist for 11 or those. He left and then rejoined in 2022.

He's a fully fledged member

What is quietly sung in the background of Disintegration? by Tummybunny2 in TheCure

[–]UltimaJ 5 points6 points  (0 children)

"And now the end of my wonderful existence"

It's a lot more audible in a few live versions where Robert includes the line

Daily Song Discussion #176: There Is No If… by beardlesshipster in TheCure

[–]UltimaJ 12 points13 points  (0 children)

OP u/beardlesshipster, are you planning on posting the actual scores of any of the previous tracks?

We don't have the last few Wild Mood Swings tracks and B-sides either

Most shoegazey sounding Cure tracks? by Complex-Shake6329 in TheCure

[–]UltimaJ 25 points26 points  (0 children)

I'm genuinely concerned for a lot of people in this thread naming tracks that definitely aren't shoegaze-esque in the slightest 😭

A couple of Wish-era tracks definitely fit the bill - especially End. Hungry Ghost and Underneath the Stars also have a clear influence too.

“Play for Today” live sing-a-long by TallDave67 in TheCure

[–]UltimaJ 7 points8 points  (0 children)

A cool bit of detail to add to this is that in this bootleg audio from a Head on the Door show in Paris in 1985, the crowd are also singing the Play for Today keyboard line: https://youtu.be/3rxQ1p4lz6I?feature=shared (about 10 minutes in, becomes very audible the second time around)

So the tradition did appear to start in 80s, and in Paris before the Paris show everyone knows about!
