This is my attempt at the Cure's brilliant "The Figurehead" from Pornography. It's such an amazingly brilliant song, so I hope I don't sound like a complete dolt here. I used my Line6 Variax700 into the PodXT Live and it sounds damn good for direct recording. I hope you enjoy it. I had to commit myself to the Rubber Ramada after listening to it 100x trying to learn it in a few days.

Great job, the best cover of this title that I found !!! I tried (very modestly) to make my own cover with my added voice. So I wanted to thank you, and I hope you will enjoy the result : 3qsue1u86Sc. Bye ! ;-))13 years ago

I am 40 years old and The Cure have been my favorite band since about 1983--84, I can not remember in all these years hearing a better instrumental cover than the one you have done. Exeptional work to one of my absolute favorite Cure songs !!!!!! Thanks you very much.15 years ago

Thanks a lot. I would love to get a couple of decent players together and whip out a Cure song like A Hundred Years. That would own. Maybe someday...15 years ago

Wow. That's quite a compliment. Thank you very much. I think I might have another go at a Cure song, probably something else from Pornography. Ta, mate!15 years ago

Thank you very much. I hadn't listened to much of The Cure before, and this song is a really good one. The hard part of the Cure isn't the parts themselves; they are pretty basic as far as music goes. However, what makes it difficult is minor variations in nearly every verse and these have to be accounted for. Mr. Smith is a very subtle bloke, for certain.16 years ago
