7. Which former member of Psychadelic Furs filled in as drummer on the tour in 1984 after Andy Anderson was fired but before Boris Williams replaced him?

8. What's the title of the opening track on 'Disintegration', starting "I think it's dark & it looks like rain, you said..."?

FFS, how on earth should I remember the name of the bloke on the "Standing on a beach" cover pic? Or what charity it was with the "Hypnagogic states" EP? 

11. What Cure single did Reeves Gabrels play on as a guest in 1996, long before joining the band in 2012.

I'm pretty certain that single was not released in 1996, but in 1997 (no idea when exactly it was recorded though).

that's correct, that was a typo of the person who shared the questions - fixed!
