Okay, I'm sure all you more "experienced" Cure fans can answer questions like this in your sleep, but it would be nice to get a definite answer, and it doesn't appear to have been brought up on this forum before (...), so bear with me:

Who is the other keyboardist in the Just Like Heaven music video? First one is Lol, the other....Michael Dempsey? Matthieu Hartley? The janitor? I have no idea. Couldn't be Roger....could it? Don't recognize him at all...

It's Roger.  ;)

He joined the band in 1987, right after the Kiss Me album was finished.

Poe

Damn! How embarrassing...I thought Roger didn't tag along for real until some time during the making of Disintegration.


Thanks a bunch for the help.

Actually "the other keyboardist" would be Lol, as Roger ODonell (from your attached picture) is shown as the main keyboardist in the video, while you almost can not see Lol.

Oh are we being picky now dsanchez? :P ;)

What I meant by saying something like "the first one is Lol, and the other one Roger", was that Lol appears first of the two keyboardists in the video. Is all. But I agree, Roger should be mentioned first, he was the main keyboardist as well as the more proficient one of the two...or so I've been told...?

But actually Roger appears first in the video, not Lol.

From Lol you see just a shadow (besides 00:51 where finally the video shows him):

Oops, sorry, you're right. And picky means, well, to pay too much attention to detail, something like that. Didn't mean to be offending though... :smth052

Speaking of shadows - I've always loved how you can see the shadows of the band on the backdrop at some times - kind of a technical "mistake".
I also like the camera effect used that kindof distorts Roberts face,  a bit elongated

... and... how the little pile of rocks is conveniently made to fall!

good old 80's videos!

Yeah, I think you can only see Lol's arm or something.

Umm, I didn't even realise Lol was in that video until today....2 very short shots...
