The Cure - Fascination Street

[@jamesross824]

Fascination Street has a killer bass rift.

[@Hans_Gerber]

The string height is set super low and it rattles. Sort of like natural distortion 😊

[@stevenbrahma1509]

​​@@quicksilva155with hat...simon gallup..not much exposed in this video😅

[@zoeherriot]

@@quicksilva155 It's Simon with the hat at 1:05 - he is playing a Bass VI in the film clip (yes, it looks like a normal guitar, but it is in fact a short scale 6 string bass). There is some argument as to whether it was recorded with the Bass VI (Robert Smith wrote the bassline on a Bass VI, and you can hear it in his home demos) - but consensus seems to be that this is played on a Stingray bass on the recording.

[@heatherharrington2563]

I was 18 when this album came out, and the radio stations in my area sucked. They all played 80’s bubblegum music, hair bands, or classic rock. So no, this song wasn’t played on the radio at all where I was from. At least not when it first came out in ‘89. The only way you could hear it was to pop in a cassette, or if you were lucky and had enough money for a CD player, which were ridiculously expensive then, that’s how you listened to The Cure in the 80’s, before a song hit the mainstream Top 40. Which this song did, but not till 1990. When Disintegration came out in ‘89, my best friend skipped school to go to the record store and get it. That evening, she called me and said “OMG…you HAVE to come over right now and listen to this!” And we stayed up all night and just listened over and over for hours. It was great! Good memories, and we are in our 50’s now, but will still both adore The Cure.

[@lyarnes]

I am 53 years old now, have been a huge fan of The Cure since the beginning. Yet somehow their music and Robert’s iconic voice and lyrics mean more to me now than they ever have before. I find new meaning and significance in their songs now when I listen to them, and for that I am eternally grateful. It is hard enough these days, navigating through the darkness, but with The Cure’s music it can be done.

I am 19 years old and I am from Russia. I discovered this group a year ago. And I don't regret it. About Fascination Street, the track is great, as, in principle, is all the work of The Cure. It feels like watch a noir movie and watching the love line of the main character and antagonist. By the way, I would like to tell you about the alleged similarity of this song and one of the songs of another band from Russia. (I warn you: what I will describe below is not an advertisement or an attempt to advertise the work of another group!) In Russia, we had a band, very popular at the time, called Агата Кристи (Agatha Christie; Yes, the band was called that throughout its existence. And no, the band's songs were in no way related to her works). This band was inspired by the work of The Cure, starting with the image and ending with the atmosphere and sound some of their tracks. If you are interested, you can read about this group on the Internet. I'm not quite talking about that now. In 1997, the band released the album "Hurricane" which is considered one of the darkest and most difficult to perceive. So, on this album there is a song "Корвет уходит в небеса" ("Corvette goes to heaven"), which is considered to be something like a copy of "Fascination Street". And now, after listening to this track, I want to say this: "Corvette..." is in no way like Fascination Street! There is no way at all! The sound of "Corvette..." is much darker, the atmosphere is completely different. And in the end, the texts are completely opposite in meaning. In general, I don't understand how we were able to see something in common between two completely different songs. In general, who is interested, you can listen, the song is in the public domain. I apologize in advance for any mistakes, because I don't know English well. Greetings to The Cure fans from Russia!

Listening to the Cure still, at the grand old age of 60.

[@albertarthurparsnips5141]

I’ve long wanted this incredible song to go on for at least half an hour. Or more. And with a FAR heftier mix to that extraordinary bass. And a louder, more ‘trebly’ guitar from Robert.

[@Angel666xo]

The keyboard player is sooo gorgeous omg ♥️

[@arazeddschubba8927]

Hamburg.

[@bobblowhard8823]

The Cure never fails to put out a brilliant, timeless song.

[@ethanbrettbarnhill1436]

For me Robert Smith is litterally one of,if not the best songwriters of all time. Let alone for being "different". The cure have been with me as my mum loves them so I grew up listening to them, but finding my own love for Robert Smith and the cure is just unreal, they are truly unmatched, just amazing that something released in the 1980s can keep so many people connected even if it's on KZbin etc, wow

[@Rodrigo79799]

He is the best, no one can get where he is

[@fredrivers9685]

1989 was a huge year in music. Disintegration, Technique and Black Comedy albums released. We will never ever see this level of excellence in one year in music again.

[@auklon3372]

Man, The Cure has some of the best base lines in their music.

[@karenglenn6707]

His name is Simon Gallup, and he’s a beast on that bass!!

Blessed are the fair, for they are cunning. Be solemn towards evil, for its prize is the good and the knowledge. Orcrist! Glamdring!

[@littlesweethaaaht--4012]

Dat bass Simon, DAT BASS~~

[@MrKrankKopf]

He's playing a Fender Jaguar guitar in the video instead of a real bass.

[@linnet12dd]

Not a jag it's a baritone, they sometimes credit it as a six string bass on their albums

[@drexlspivey5828]

linnet12dd It's definitely an electric guitar, not a bass guitar, the tuning pegs are too small for a bass, the tuning pegs and headstock are a Fender electric, the strings are too thin for a bass as well, must not have had a bass available for the shoot

[@drexlspivey5828]

linnet12dd Ignore me, you're right, it is indeed a baritone which is effectively an electric with bass strings, never seen one before, very cool

[@sebastianrutkowski2353]

He is playing Robert's '69 Fender Bass VI

[@SeanGavin-rf5vd]

Been listening to then since 1983 when I was 13. Eventually saw The Cure live in 2019 with my best friend of 35 years and my daughter.

[@beekay5914]

Unbearably beautiful. Those guitars......you know what I hate about this song? It doesn't go on forever.

[@thomasnee270]

I wasn't really ever into The Cure but I always loved this song. It's dark, brooding, and kind of heavy. I did see The Cure in Philadelphia back in 2007/2008 and it was an incredible concert. They sounded great and their chemistry was unbelievable. I especially remember the drummer really striking those drums just like he did in this video.

[@lisazoria2709]

If you like darker heavier stuff don't miss their early albums, especially Pornography. Give them a listen if you haven't already. I wasn't really into the Cure either until I discovered their earlier stuff.

[@thomasnee270]

@@lisazoria2709 I grew up in the eighties as a headbanger Lol but when I went to high school out in the county, I was introduced to all kinds of different genres of music. Punk, hardcore, industrial, techno, gothic, new wave, etc. I'll never forget being introduced to Ministry, Nitzer ebb, and Front 242 by this one goth kid in my school when I was in the tenth grade. it was definitely one of the best experiences in my life to date.

[@thomasnee270]

@@lisazoria2709 I did like and still listen to Depeche Mode especially their material from the eighties - early nineties. I was hit or miss with The Cure growing up but now that my taste in music has evolved since I have gotten older, I'll definitely give their earlier stuff a try. I'm almost certain that I have heard some songs off of "Pornography" but I'll take your suggestion and take that trip down memory lane to listen to it and their other early albums as well.

[@MelTheMuppetslayer]

I was at that Philly show. Incredible experience. Can’t wait to do it again in June. 🖤

[@Syria-fz1rl]

Robert your voice is incredible, still today on live... it is unbelievable ♡

[@ladygloomweaver6623]

The Cure’s music instantly transports me to a place of melancholy comfort and longing. As a teen… it was part of me… I felt like I could burst with emotion when I would listen to their music or even think about it…. I had such deep seated love for every song. Today… I still love listening to The Cure and I get instantly transported back to a place of emotional innocence and I let those memories wash over me with a yearning nostalgia. I wish I could go back to those times…..

[@ASortedCollection]

Yes!

[@davidpedder9048]

Been a Cure fan since the 80s. Loved the music back then and even more now. With new remastered sound and much better sounding speakers.

[@MarkJordan-cf7ir]

This is my all time favorite song by them. I never get tired of listening to it!

[@johnnyjohnson1326]

Didn't really appreciate the Cute until I graduated high school (c/o 89). I'm my early 20s my musical tastes expanded and I got into this band. Now that I'm 52 I'm glad I got into them. The music changes meanings sometimes, but the feeling is always there.
