realize how much of the guitar on the records is played by Robert . There would be a lot of things where you ’ ve got the guy that played the part right there , so why should I try to sound like him . I think we have a pretty good tandem . There ’ s songs like “ From the Edge of the Deep Green Sea ” where that ’ s Robert on the record playing the solo but that ’ s an open space for me every night to do what I want .
PHILLIP : Do you have any favorites for live shows ?
REEVES : “ A Forest ” is always really fun to play . “ A Night Like This ,” I ’ m really enjoying . On the record it was a sax solo and I think in the past Robert had played a guitar solo there , and for a while that became my solo . Another thing : I enjoy playing the Fender Bass VI . So a song like “ Push ,” is something I love . And the point where I
intersected with the band as a fan was “ Head on the Door ,” so just about any song from that album I enjoy playing .
PHILLIP : That was my entry point for the Cure as well and I ’ ve often thought about how a song like “ Six Different Ways ” would have had different instrumentation had it been recorded later on Kiss Me , Kiss Me , Kiss Me or Disintegration .
REEVES : What ’ s interesting about the band now is that it ’ s a collection of musicians that can go just about anywhere and there ’ s a higher level of listening going on every night . It ’ s a more reactive band and you ’ re seeing songs recast . There ’ s a song called “ Give Me It ” which is a rather obscure Cure song but we ’ ve been doing that and it ’ s become this whole other thing . It ’ s not my first rodeo and I ’ m having more fun than I ’ ve ever had in a band
