Pornography Tour'82

Published:

Description

The Cure's legendary 1982 "Pornography" tour.
It had it all:

The music: from the album "Pornography", which was later hailed as a key Goth Rock album of the 80's.
The image: of 3 disturbing masked figures, the white make-up and the blood red eyes and lips. And of course a disastrous tour of drugs, booze, friction and violence which ended up in a fist fight between the band members, and the end of a Goth band called: The Cure.

Up front, The Sad Mask: Vocal and guitarist, Robert Smith.
Behind him, The Mysterious Mask: Bassist Simon Gallup
and behind him, The Ugly/Angry Mask: Drummer Laurence Tolhurst

What I would have given to see this tour.
The image is simple, a blood red crack with "questionable" erotic imagery inside it. The 3 band members in their masks and outfits, surrounded by words and lines from their album "Pornography".

I added a little tear on Robert Smith's mask.
I can imagine you understand why I did that...

I can lose my self in Chinese art and American girls... screaming at the moon, another past time...

Again, I completely love the background! And how you made it of just the three colours makes it even more perfect!

Now I'm drawn to Lol... He looks completely perfect and Lol-like. And Robert's hair.

And yes the tear... *is watching The Loudest Sound on Trilogy*
