The Cure - Fascination Street

[@lelatr85]

[@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.

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.

@@DJdext My CD copy just came the day after Thanksgiving here in the States. The album sounds so good. The remaster really does the album justice. Wish is a great album but the original CD pressings back in ‘92 always sounded muffled and muted. The remaster sounds so rich and crisp. When I heard Open and High I cut loose w/ a yell because I could hear all of Boris’ wind chimes and wood blocks clearly. Don’t even talk about the sea of sound coming from the guitars.

[@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.

This was (in America) the first taste we got. My friends and o had a rough recording off WDRE that was actually the album version. You just knew something special was coming… then there was Babble and Out of Mind, which were equally amazing. I still remember giving money to our friend as he caught a ride to the local record store and waiting him to return with 5 copies of Disintegration for my friends and I. I remember the smell of the artwork and the indescribable feeling of hearing Plainsong for the first time. The confusion Mike had that his record was missing 2 songs (that wasn’t really common yet), and having to fast forward the cassette after Fascination Street to start side 2…

I had the album on a cassette tape listening at work on my walkman. One co-worker always asking to borrow it, returning the tape to me at the song starting just after Fasination Street EVERY time!! 😄

[@michaelpasquarella8818]

AWESOME after all these years. The 80's needed more than 10 years...Bring it back. Some music lifts you while others keep you down. The Cure...what an appropriate name.

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.

[@JesperHellvik]

One of the best songs from the best Cure album of them all!

Yep, Pornography will always be my favourite album, not just by the Cure, but by any band. A masterpiece of dark beauty. Seventeen seconds is very good too.

Without a doubt, they are one of the best bands of all times of the music ...♠ THE CURE ♪

[@dalethornton7858]

One of the best concerts of my life. I'm 64 now and I have seen all the greats except Beatles, Hendrix, SRV. But I always loved to see the CURE because they had the most beautiful women to come to their concerts 👍❤️😜

[@4everwithUD]

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!

[@org1969]

Smith is simply genius. And it's all.

[@ali-zay]

The sound (the beat, the instruments, etc.) are so harmonious. Love.

[@cappc12]

The band was into this one👍

[@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.

[@harrow2355]

Love this band and this song is incredible,the culmination of lead and bass guitars is brilliant with the added drums which gives it more depth,love it!

[@MarkJordan-cf7ir]

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

"Fascination street" fue una "vacuna musical" en mi juventud, porque cuando estaba en momentos reflexivos, me acompañaba al estar sólo en mi recámara, recostado, cerrando los ojos y me sumergía en un éxtasis placentero, logrando que me olvidara de todo a mi alrededor. Hoy a mis 48, sigue (y seguirá) siendo mi "vacuna" contra todo este caos de pandemia, economía, guerras, políticos, racismo, cambio climático y más. Ya sea en mi oficina (como en estos momentos con audífonos) o en mi casa, igual recuerdo esos momentos y vuelvo a hacer lo mismo (ahora con KZbin): sólo cerrar mis ojos y que ese sonido enigmático me transporte a un mundo de tranquilidad y paz espiritual ... realmente es LA CURA para mi alma.

[@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
