I read something on the official site about someone posting fake Robert comments..is this it? ...I don't think Robert himself has responded to this topic yet.

Anyway..another silly thought...regarding the news posted, doesn't he always type in capitals? but then again..it would have taken up too much space if he did....like others have said...possibly a management decision, sales, etc.

perhaps there will be some type of compensation offered next time around for all who missed out...ideas? maybe some free..ltd edition.. merchandise given away at the concert...perhaps everyone in the audience will get a free copy of the new album (ala Oprah style)... maybe some extra free gigs held in some cities... I guess that still won't be enough... a lot of people have lost a lot
If possible (i know it's difficult) try not to be too sad, I hope it will work it self out for all of you.

Obviously a fake.  I've heard that Robert is a native speaker of english.

[strange_day]

Robert wouldnt say that, moving the dates is pushing people far enough, he isnt gonna add insult to injury, let alone take the piss out of his band mates........ im shocked theyve done this........ the new album must be worth the while if a whole our is being pushed back, thats a huge thing to do. As long as the album's good and they play the UK, i dont mind. Id be very pissed off having paid for hotels and flighs etc though.... Roberts pushing people pretty far here.

[rodney]

I'm still upset, but we'll see what happens when the new dates are announced, or some refund info is offered.  Yeah, I'm out some money, but we'll just have to see what happens.

[kissingcrimson]

Robert has made quite a few posts....starting from... (sorry about the long post)

HMMMMMM
8/24/2007 7:42:01 PM - by CURE:ROBERT

I STAYED AWAY FROM THE FIRST 500...

BUT GET A FEEL THERE ARE SOME UNHAPPY ONES
(PLUS CA CHANGE?!!)

did Geffen make the push, and if so, Robert really can't say..because they are under contract.

NO
WE AS A GROUP MADE THE DECISION
THERE IS NO BACK STORY
NO ULTERIOR THING
WE WANT TO FINISH THE RECORD
ITS THAT SIMPLE

WE MADE A MISTAKE IN BOOKING THE DATES FOR SEPTEMBER I THINK
IT PUT US IN A 'FINISH IT AS SOON AS YOU CAN... WHATEVER' POSITION
AND IT MEANS TOO MUCH TO US TO DO THIS

IT HAS TO BE RIGHT

Was it poor sales?

WE HAVE ALREADY SOLD MORE THAN OUR GUARANTEES
SOLD OUT AND CLOSE TO SOLD OUT ACROSS THE BOARD

REALLY...
THERE IS NO 'IT MUST BE SALES!' BACK STORY

And what will they do between the CA festival show and the Mexico dates? Fly home for a week? Or do promo stuff?

FLY HOME AND MIX THE FINAL SONGS I HOPE!

WE REALLY DO FEEL BAD ABOUT PUTTING EVERYONE OUT LIKE THIS

BUT...
WE HAD TO DO IT

THE SHOWS IN SPRING 2008 REALLY WILL BE THE BEST CURE SHOWS

AND THIS ALBUM WILL BE THE BEST CURE ALBUM

THIS IS WHAT WE DO

SO

DONT GET TOO UPSET

I WILL DROP A NEW SONG IN HERE IN A FEW DAYS

AS A KIND OF PEACE STONE IN THE WATER?

LOVE
RSX


AND THIS...

the community
8/24/2007 4:40:15 PM - by cure1000
dear the cure.
will you please, please, please get rid of this community thing when you rearrange the website for the new album. I'm so incredibly fed up with reading these moaning comments written by ignorant, self centered airheads. Do I have to read the comments you ask? No. Not really. But they are here for everyone to read. In whose favour I ask? Not in the band's anyway. It only gives them the wrong impression about Cure fans. In the fans' favour then? Hell no. I'm a fan and I think most of the crap I read here is rubbish. Why then am I writing a comment? Shooting myself in the foot you say? Well, yes I am. but I don't care.
And to the band again: Go finish that album. and take your time.

...MADE ME SMILE!

HOWEVER

I UNDERSTAND THAT THE DECISION TO MOVE THE SHOWS HAS PUT A LOT
A LOT
OF PEOPLE OUT

IT WAS NOT A DECISION TAKEN LIGHTLY

BUT IT HAS BEEN TAKEN
AND IT WAS TAKEN BY US...




AND WE ARE NOW GOING TO FINISH THE ALBUM

AND WE WILL PLAY ALL THESE SHOWS IN SPRING 2008 (AND MORE!)

AND...

AGAIN
ALL APOLOGIES

BUT WE WILL MAKE IT WORTH IT I HOPE
RSX


WE WILL PLAY ALL THE CITIES
8/24/2007 8:02:56 PM - by CURE:ROBERT

AND HOPEFULLY THE SAME VENUES IN SPRING 2008
AS WERE SCHEDULED FALL 2007

AND
WE WILL LIKELY ADD FEW IN
AS AND IF THE NEW 2008 ROUTING ALLOWS...

ANYWAY

BED

ANYONE ELSE BITTER ABOUT THE MOVE
SORRY

BUT
IT WONT CHANGE
ANYTHING...

RSX

WELL
8/24/2007 8:05:52 PM - by CURE:ROBERT

hopefully we'll be able to sell the tickets we bought this year to someone else on ebay next year... somehow the enthusiasm for the next tour is all gone...

THATS TWO DOWN...



HMMMMMMM
FUNNY TO THINK WHAT IT WOULD BE LIKE HERE IF WE CANCELLED A SHOW!

AAAAIIIIIIEEEEEEEEEEE


LOVE
RSX

You seem angry

at us.

NOT AT ALL

I KNEW THE DECISION TO MOVE THE SHOWS WOULD UPSET A LOT OF PEOPLE

I HOPED THE REASONS WOULD BE UNDERSTOOD

IT JUST RILES WHEN THESE REASONS ARE SEEN AS SOME KIND OF SMOKESCREEN

OR WHEN 'FANS' FEEL THERE IS A MONEY ANGLE...

AAAAAAAGH!

THIS IS MY f*cking LIFE!
OUR LIFE...

SO
ANYWAY
AGAIN
I AM TIRED

AND
I SHOULD STOP NOW

I HOPE ALL CURE FANS WILL UNDERSTAND THAT WE NEVER DO THINGS FOR THE WRONG REASONS

EVER

AND WITH THAT
I WILL MOVE FROM THE MIDDLE STAIR
TO THE


TOP
RSX

POSTPONED
NOT
CANCELLED

THE MORE LAST SIGH
8/24/2007 8:48:41 PM - by CURE:ROBERT

THIS ONE WAS GOOD

It's normal to be upset. Especially with the money situation. But it is what it is as well. So no need to be nasty either. If you can swing it...it's just a few more months.

If not..get your money back.Problemo solved.

PITHY. COHERENT. SIMPLE.
TRUE

BUT THEN
THIS ONE

I doubt anybody was honestly expecting him to say, "You're right. Our sales were crap. We had no choice but to abandon this sinking ship"


IS SO **** IT STOPPED ME SHUTTING DOWN
OUCH!
FOR FUCKS SAKE!
ITS A POSTPONEMENT TO FINISH THE ALBUM
NOT A CANCELLATION
A POSTPONEMENT
A DELAY
A RESCHEDULING
NOTHING TO DO WITH SALES
AAAAAAAAGH

TO BE TRAPPED HERE
WITH THIS KIND OF IDIOT MIND


" ...BUT TO ABANDON THIS SINKING SHIP"

POETRY

BLEEEEARGH!


PLEASE
BED
RSX

NO ITS NO GOOD ONE LAST SCREAM
8/24/2007 8:53:57 PM - by CURE:ROBERT

i was excited and proud to be a cure fan, i really was. guess what- no one can stay excited that long. definitely not until APRIL.

THIS IS WITHOUT DOUBT THE MOST...


STAY EXCITED UNTIL NEXT APRIL?
ABSURD
RIDICULOUS
NEXT APRIL?

NEXT
APRIL?


SOMETIMES
I
WONDER


RSX



AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAGH
8/24/2007 9:02:28 PM - by CURE:ROBERT

there is no proof of spring dates at this point, nor is there proof that tickets we already bought and paid for will be usable for equivalent seats in equivalent venues... we could well end up with nothing to show for this in the spring, too.

UNREAL


PLEASE
HOW MANY TIMES HAVE WE POSTPONED A TOUR IN 30 YEARS?
ONCE?



IF YOU DONT LIKE US ANYMORE
BECAUSE YOU HAVE BEEN SO DISMAYED BY THIS POSTPONEMENT
IF THE WORLD DIDNT TURN YOUR WAY
THIS ONE TIME

PLEASE DONT BOTHER
GET A REFUND AND GO SEE SOMEONE ELSE

PLEASE

MY LAST SIGH

RSX

Wow, I really can't believe what I've been reading. The myspace bulletin just knocked me off my feet! Bloody Hell!
I'm so very glad that it didn't happen to us in the southern hemisphere!! I really feel for all you people that are affected by this. I really would have been ripe for some mass murder if it had've been me in your shoes. I am just dumfounded that a Band that has toured extensively for years and years, could come up with this... cancellations?? My Arse - just play the friggin' gigs! They committed to a tour, and now they change their minds? I'm sorry but there is no excuse for this. It is unprofessional to say the least... and I'm not moved in the slightest by any of those comments kissingcrimson (G'Day there matey!!!  ) posted that are 'apparently' from Mr Smith himself. Its a bad move, and it will haunt them for a hell of a long time!


I just can't believe this has occured really... truely unbelievable

[~*CherryRed*~]

It would appear that all myspace comments aren't being 'given permission' to be posted either...  :?Hmm, wonders why! (last one was 10th August...)

[Druide]

NO COMMENT Mr RSX

hmmmmm it was just another silly joke from my crazy mind.... but when i read the last post of Robert Smith, the "f*ck of" sounds really close to the reality 

[boneheadhaggar]

just got in from a day/night out to be greeted by this news, this really is not good news for all the people who have lost so much money on flights/hotels/TM bokking fees etc., in my mind RS must have known the album would not be completed in time, but so what, new songs have been introduced in the past before an album is released, so why not this time too, and surely if he is using the excuse of wanting to complete the album first, then that is what they should have done before announcing any tour dates, this is not a good way to treat fans at all, very frustrating indeed :(

[closedown]

people planning their holidays, spending lots of money + everything, nah, sure, those people, come on, why complain, hey, the magic 'leader' has spoken, accept it, don't say a word, be happy you lost all that,it is Robert Smith who said that, so there is no other opinion that counts... who cares about that few bucks...
of course Robert can speak like that, with all the money he made from the fans he doesn't have to worry, other people maybe devote everything, Robert won't care anyway, hm, maybe 2 days before the spring tour he decides he needs to rerecord one track for the album + postpones the whole tour again...
at least he now opnely shows his true mind!  :twisted:

((((((((((((((HUGS)))))))))))
for everyone
sorry it's the mothering coming out in me.
I'm so sorry to everyone who is affected by this news. I was gobsmacked when I found out. I understand the disappointment and frustration everyone is feeling at the moment but it almost reads like a competition to see who can bag, diss or hang shit on The Cure the best on the official site. Yes voice an opinion, but it almost borders on a  site for attention seeking people. I'm really sorry but it's my opinion of it, meaning the "official" site. It's good to see that at least on this site, everyone can voice their opinion in a civilised manner.  . I would hate to be in the position that many of you here and elsewhere are at the moment with this postponement. Sorry if I offend anyone with this post. Again HUGS to all.
