Smith is an excellent guitarist. I'd goes far to say he's one of the most underrated player ever. And I say that because of the amazing guitar work he did on the first album. You hear all the studio demos and rarities with all the brilliant solos and feedback , and it's all him. He doesn't about being a guitar player much, since I reckon he just sees it just as his tool for composing but damn, he's good. :)
@cybertaiga95343 жыл бұрын
Yes, very true whatever you said about Robert Smith's guitar playing. He is definitely the most underrated and also the most overlooked as a guitarist primarily due to his image and Cure's songs. He will be never be compared to the guitar greats and guitar heroes because for those artists it is all about techniques, solos and complexities. For Robert, the song is the hero and he only uses it for mood painting. :-)

age having nothing to do with their talent, but really just kids here. This song is my favorite of all their works. Haunting guitars and keys, beautifully composed, one can really feel the quiet house, the dark, empty room, and the deep nocturnal and dreamlike undertones of the environment.

No doubt a little Joy Division influence in Simon's playing, but still one of the best bassists of the post-punk/goth world. I even sometimes prefer his work over Hooky's but we might as well be comparing apples and oranges with that argument.
