Originally posted by mark e smith:While this is true, it should be pointed out that The Cure's early sound was nothing like what appeared on "17 Seconds" or "Faith"—albums where The Cure truly came into their own. Robert Smith has always talked very openly about his love of Joy Division and the influence they had on him. According to the book I have on The Cure (can't remember the title at the moment), it was Simon Gallup & Robert Smith's mutual admiration of Peter Hook's basslines in particular that led to a partnership. So it's no wonder that The Cure imitated Hook.
Addendum for Mankie:
The Cure formed in '76. Joy Division formed after the pistols gig in '77. The cure had Killing an arab on the demo that got them signed to the record company.
In response to an earlier post by Bags, it's entirely conceivable that Interpol would open for The Cure. Robert Smith is a big fan of them as he is with a lot of the bands today that ape his vocals and playing style (Hot Hot Heat, The Rapture). I read a recent interview with him where he was talking specifically about some of these newer bands, and he says he feels complemented that his music has been such a big influence…
Speaking of Interpol, I would say their main musical inspiration would be The Chameleons, a great, rather underappreciated post-punk band from the 80s. The Joy Division influence is mostly the vocals and the overall sombre tone. There's only one song ("Say Hello to the Angels") that really recalls a Smiths influence (admittedly a direct steal of "This Charming Man"). I personally recommend checking out their stuff, especially the songs "Untitled" and "NYC"—even if they're not the most original of bands, they write some damn fine songs.
Good Post.
I would contend that the first two cure albums (which are really just the one real album) contain some of their finest songs…..
Killing an arab
10.15
jumping someone else's train
Perhaps he was just being generous with the Joy Division niceties.
There are some other smiths riffs in the interpol album, I cant remember where though.
I really dont get the chamelons thing either. I wonder if interpol has ever even heard them? They are moderately obscure.
But the main thing is the cure did not rip off the smiths, perhaps it was the other way around, a little.

the thing that makes me think its a joke now is the Theatre of Living Arts dates on the show. cause that place is TINY, no WAY the Cure would ever play there. Thats what i think.

oh man, q and not u local or travel for enon? hard decisions, but oh so wonderful ones.
all of this talk of rip-offs cracks me up. everyone borrows from someone, but when its your favorite band from high school, people get upset. come into 2004 people, the interpol record is solid.
